“…… His Majesty took the examination of Chi Erlang in the court, and Chi Erlang replied fluently, so Longyan Dayue, worshiped Honglu Shaoqing, and appeased the ambassador, and said that Chi Erlang had no one to serve here, and specially rewarded a beauty, and several beautiful maids——"

Xue Zheng squeezed his eyes at her: "How is it?" Did your dad take it? ”

Chi Tang nodded: "Can you not accept the reward from Your Majesty?" ”

Xue Zheng's face was shocked, and then he showed envy: "It's really a good blessing......"

Chi Tang glanced at her and said slowly: "My father said that they are all handmaidens rewarded by His Majesty, let me watch the call." ”

Xue Zheng widened his eyes: "That's a beauty rewarded by His Majesty, and you use it as a maidservant?" ”

Chi Tang was also a little nervous: "Can't the beauty rewarded by Your Majesty be a servant?" ”

Xue Zheng froze: "That's not to say that you can't ......"

Chi Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

Daddy had to say that, and she couldn't stop it.

After the beautiful woman served her a dinner with tears, she returned to the room and cried bitterly, listening to it so aggrieved.

But wasn't she very happy to give her daddy food? Why did she change her and be wronged?

"Tut-tut......" Xue Zheng shook his head again and again, "It's really a tyrannical thing, the beauties given by the palace, they have all been trained in every way, and they are called to you, can they give full play to their strengths?" ”

"What are their strengths?" Chi Tang asked curiously.

"Serve men!" Xue Zheng smiled ambiguously, and seeing that Chi Tang was still at a loss, he waved his hand and said perfunctorily, "I'll know when you get married." ”

Chi Tang looked at her strangely: "You are not married yet, how do you know?" ”

Xue Zheng glanced at her angrily: "Do you think everyone's house is as clean as yours?" ”

Chi Changting has been widowed for eight years and has not married, not to mention that there is not even half a woman in the house, is this still a man?

After chatting for a while, Chi Tang got up and said goodbye.

This was the second day of arriving at Yuhua Mountain, and she specially came to the Qi Guogong Mansion to thank Xue Zheng for helping her keep an eye on Su Jin for more than a month, and by the way, she told her that she didn't have to stare at it in the future.

Coming out of the mansion of the Duke of Qi, Chi Tang took the carriage that Xue Zheng lent her home.

There is a short mountain road to walk from the pond house, this mountain road is not the main road, there are no people, and it seems very quiet.

Because of the hot weather, the doors and windows were open, so Chi Tang saw the three women sitting in the shade of the trees on the side of the road at a glance.

Among them, the one in the blue dress and white dress leaned weakly against his companion and didn't look good.

"Go and ask what's wrong?" Chi Tang ordered the car to stop.

Judging by the clothes, the three should be one master and two servants.

Yuhua Mountain is full of high-ranking officials who are driving with them to escape the summer, whose girl not only did not take the car but also only brought two maids when she went out?

Maybe it's because you live near here? Chi Tang secretly speculated.

The car stopped not far away, and when the picture screen was asked, Chi Tang heard the answer: "My girl is suffering from heat stroke, and she really can't walk, so she can rest here-" It seemed to hesitate, "I don't know if it's convenient for the nobles to let my girl take a ride back?" ”

However, with a gesture, Chi Tang nodded at the painting screen, leaned on the window and asked, "Where are you from?" How to go? ”

The other handmaid was about to answer, when the blue-clothed girl who was so sick of heat that she couldn't walk suddenly stood up.

Not only stood up, but also walked quickly in the direction where Chi Tang came, with a look of surprise and shyness: "Shiro! It's such a coincidence that you've been here too! ”

Chi Tang's eyelids jumped, and when he looked at the picture screen again, his face had changed.

She didn't want to look back to see who was coming, so she immediately glanced at the picture screen and quickly retracted her head.

But it was too late.

"Is it Miss Chi Si?" The voice is warm and moist like beautiful jade.

Chi Tang hated the saddle.

How did these people, who just swore to walk around yesterday, bump into the two of them as soon as they touched them?

She hid in the car and didn't speak, but she couldn't stop others from coming forward.

After two or three sounds, Su Jin's face appeared outside the car window, and when she saw her, a light flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled: "Fourth girl, meet again." ”

The girl in blue also followed, looked at Su Jin, looked at Chi Tang, and asked in a delicate voice, "Shiro, do you recognize this girl?" ”

Su Jin didn't answer her, she was still staring at Chi Tang, with a faint smile: "The fourth girl has met her fiancée......"

Chi Tang nodded with him with a straight face, and when he saw that the picture screen had already gotten into the car, he said lightly: "Let's go!" ”

……

The next time I met Shi Liu, it was at the palace banquet the next day.

May 12, the prince's birthday.

The emperor feasted his ministers at the Yuhua Palace to congratulate the crown prince on his birthday, and all the accompanying officials and family members received invitations.

Because of the heat of the day, the palace banquet was held in the evening.

The sun shadow is slanting to the west, the clothes in the imperial garden are fragrant and the sideburns are shadowed, the swallows are singing and the warbler is singing, and the silk and bamboo are intoxicating.

At this time, the feast had not yet begun, and the ladies each looked for a familiar companion to talk.

"This Shi Liu is really magical-" Du Rong covered his face with a fan and said with a low smile, "Seeing that she was still half-dead on March 3, she must have been radiant when she was kissed, didn't the Shi family give her joy?" ”

"Don't let you say that about Su Shilang!" Xue Zheng's little niece was annoyed and beat her.

Du Rong said with a smile while hiding: "I didn't say Su Shilang, didn't I say Shi Liu?" ”

"It's a pity, Tanhualang......" Lu Yu sighed faintly.

Chi Tang was silent.

I didn't expect Su Jin to be quite popular.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xue Zheng poked her, winked at her, and asked, "What birthday gift did you prepare for the prince?" ”

Chi Tang blushed, pursed his lips and smiled: "I won't tell you!" ”

One by one, they all said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked her, so she had to give herself to him......

……

East of Yuhua Palace, Anxi Palace.

Li Yan stood with his eyes closed, his arms raised, and he let the inner servants change into banquet clothes, his face was cold, and he couldn't tell if he was tired.

Feng An hesitated and asked, "Does Your Highness want to see the gift list?" ”

Li Yan opened his eyes and said lightly: "What did Chi Xiangjun send?" ”

He had just returned from a busy day.

The crown prince's birthday is lower than the emperor's, ceremonial celebrations, worship and feasts, the whole day is full, he comes back now, only to change the banquet clothes, the courtiers are waiting for him to go to the banquet in the front hall.

Therefore, he has not seen any of the birthday gifts offered by all parties today.

Feng An seemed to be prepared for his question, and soon brought a long box that was not too big or small, and a seal was attached to the box.

"The townsman handed it over to the slave with his own hands, and asked if the slave could let His Highness dismantle it himself, Your Highness, look-" Feng An was also a little embarrassed.

Not to mention the prince's noble status, but anyone with a little identity will not personally open the gifts sent from the outside, what if there is something bad hidden inside?

But before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard what he said, he directly snatched the box.

I took it in my hand, tore off the seal, and opened the lid—
