Chapter 12 I want to leave the house
The palace is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to sneak out, so Chi Yingchu tossed and turned all night for this, thinking about how to find a way to deceive Lu Yuanbai.
When I got up the next day, I saw a large area of black green in front of me, and Zhao Lique came early, with a spring breeze on his face: "Hurry up and wash up, I ordered someone to bring you breakfast." ”
Mushroom and lean millet porridge with sesame glutinous rice dough, plus a few side dishes and a bean juice...... If these hadn't been sent by Zhao Lique personally, she would have really sat down and eaten them.
"You're not going to drug it in, are you?" she raised her eyes and looked over, Zhao Lique heard this, and her face changed unhappily, wanting people to pour these out.
"If you don't eat it, do you think everyone is the same as you?" The reason why she said this was clearly because she remembered that Chi Yingchu poisoned herself last time.
"I didn't say no. Chi Yingchu hurriedly stopped it, and the maids retreated.
Halfway through her washing, Zhao Lique spoke: "Don't think that I gave you food for nothing, I was very satisfied with your reaction yesterday, and you have no feelings for the prince, so we can reach a cooperation." ”
"What?" Chi Yingchu pauses as she chews, and for a moment she can't guess whether what she said is true or not.
Zhao Lique still regarded her as a thorn in her side before, and she could be reconciled so soon?
"In the future, you will help me gain favor, and whatever you have to do, as long as it does not endanger the prince, I will try my best to satisfy you. ”
Chi Yingchu pursed her lips, if Zhao Lique was willing to help, her hope of secretly leaving the house might be greater, but if Zhao Lique bit her back, wouldn't she die quickly?
Zhao Lique saw that she was silent for a long time, and his face sank in displeasure: "You refuse to agree?"
"No," Chi Yingchu shook his head, "Of course I agreed, but I have seen you in this concubine room so far, and I am not familiar with the situation in this backyard." ”
"I'll see you in the future. Zhao Lique's face softened slightly, and he withdrew his gaze from her face, "I'll go first, don't wait for me to find you, you have to take the initiative to find me." ”
Chi Yingchu couldn't care so much, and immediately called her and asked, "What should I do if I want to leave the house?"
"What are you doing when you leave the house?" Zhao Lique turned his head in confusion.
Naturally, she wouldn't tell the truth, just make up a reason to perfunctory, Zhao Lique's eyes showed some impatience, and he left straight after telling her.
"Three days later, someone in the house will go out to buy, and if you want to go out, you must go to the steward to make it clear. ”
Chi Yingchu secretly wrote it down, and without a moment's delay, he went to find the steward of the house.
"This ......" the steward listened to her request, and his face was full of embarrassment.
"I don't want much, but I'm just going out with you, and I'm picky, if the items you buy don't suit my liking, I'm going to make trouble with the prince again. ”
"The things you buy are divided into kitchens, and the prince and a few aunts will not have anything for you. "The steward didn't dare to make decisions easily, let her go to Lu Yuanbai first.
She just didn't want him to know, so she made this decision, if she told Lu Yuanbai, then what did she bother to do?
"That is, the fifth aunt is quite discerning......"
"She's high-sighted, let her say for herself, when will it be your turn to speak?" a male voice came from behind him, and the steward saw him come forward and salute.
"Lord Wang. ”
Lu Yuanbai didn't look at him, walked towards Chi Yingchu, pinched her chin between two fingers, and moved slightly: "Why doesn't this king know, when did your relationship get so good?"
Chi Yingchu angrily shook off his hand, and he wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, as if he had touched something unclean.
Such a move also made Chi Yingchu unhappy, she was not uncommon to be touched by him!
"What does she want to do when she goes out?"
"The old slave doesn't know either. The steward replied.
Chi Yingchu was afraid that he would guess, so he hurriedly spoke: "I just want to go out to buy with me." ”
Lu Yuanbai's eyes swept over her face, and his dark eyes narrowed: "It's up to you, do you know how many things the purchaser wants to take, and dare to open his mouth casually?"
"They can do it, and I'm sure I can too!" she straightened up unconvinced.
"Well, you can do a day's rough work today, first go fill the water tank with water, and then you will wash all the clothes in the house, and let me see your potential. ”
Lu Yuanbai's hand clicked at her a few times, and led her to another courtyard, where she saw dozens of water tanks and dirty clothes piled up into a hill, including those worn by the subordinates.
Even if she was asked to wash until dark, she couldn't finish washing, and when those subordinates saw her, they put down the work in their hands, and said when they walked in front of her: "The prince asked the servants to thank Chu Tongfang." ”
Chi Yingchu clenched his palms and glared at him angrily: "What does this work have to do with purchasing?"
"There are too many things to buy, and they are all carried back by subordinates, and these jobs test your physical strength. He paused, then continued, "Do it, I'll see it with my own eyes." ”
The stubbornness in her temperament came up, and she was unwilling to admit defeat, this kind of work was nothing to her in her previous life, but it was another matter if she changed to Chu Yimiao's body.
Grabbed the barrel with both hands, and didn't lift it the first time, thinking that Lu Yuanbai was still there to watch, she gritted her teeth and lifted the barrel, but the strength in her hand was not enough, and the barrel slammed into the ground again.
Most of the water in the bucket spilled, and her clothes were wet a lot, and Lu Yuanbai sneered unceremoniously: "It's really useless." ”
"You wait and see!" Chi Yingchu poured half a bucket of water into the water tank, and then went to the well to fetch water, not wanting the bucket to be too heavy, she almost planted it in the well when she lifted it.
Suddenly, there was a lot of force on her waist, and she hooked her hard, and the bucket fell into the well, making a huge splash.
Chi Yingchu sat on the ground panting, Lu Yuanbai lowered his gaze and sneered: "Do you have to struggle any longer?"
"I just want to go out, can't I promise not to make a mess for you?" she raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, thinking that she would have to exercise more in the future.
Lu Yuanbai's strength is much stronger than her, she can't lose to him at this point!
"Actually, if you want to go out, you can go directly to this king, there is no need to go around these bends, and this king didn't say no. ”
"Then did the prince agree?" she looked up in astonishment, saw him nod in acknowledgement, and asked, "Then why did you let me do heavy work just now?"
"A lesson for you, who made you dishonest?"
Lu Yuanbai walked out a few steps, and then stopped: "Even if this king promised you, but he also promised them, you don't let this king lose his trust, these jobs will be returned to you, and you will not be allowed to eat if you can't finish it." ”
Chi Yingchu learned that she could go out, and then she worked harder, and some maids were kind enough to help, but it was late at night when she was done.
She felt as if her whole body was falling apart, and she couldn't get up as soon as she collapsed.
Three days later, she was about to leave the mansion, but she saw Lu Yuanbai's carriage outside the mansion, and she stepped forward puzzled: "Didn't the prince promise me?"
"The king did promise you, but the king did not say that he would not go with you. ”
Chi Yingchu frowned fiercely, feeling as if she had been greatly deceived, this dog man deliberately tricked her!
