The room flickered with dim candles, and the figures of a man and a woman were reflected in the papier-mâché windows.

Lu Yuanbai was a little surprised by her move, and his face was slightly cold, but he was no longer as rejecting people as before.

He raised his eyebrows playfully: "You did it yourself?"

"Yes. She thought to herself that her noodle making skills were not bad, and she should be able to barely swallow it, so she would pass this level, and then he would have no reason to continue to make things difficult for herself.

But he didn't want the man's eyes to show disgust, so he pushed her face away: "This king has no appetite, besides, this king's birthday is two days later, and your face will be delivered early." ”

Chi Yingchu's face stiffened, he would be picky when he thought of him, but he didn't think that he wouldn't even taste a bite, so he directly began to dislike it.

Her tone was slight, with an unhappy look written on her face, but she said: "It's okay, just congratulate the prince on his birthday in advance, longevity means health." ”

Hearing this, his eyes were slightly dark, his thin lips hooked, and he seemed to laugh, but it was not obvious: "Do you want this king to live a long and healthy life?"

"Of course. She nodded, but Lu Yuanbai's face was unmoved, and she didn't know if she heard it, let alone believed it.

"I don't know who it is, I wanted the king's life three times before, and the king still took her with me, although the purpose was not pure, but none of them really put her to death, do you think she can understand the king's mind?"

It was silent in the middle of the night, and as soon as the surroundings were silent, Chi Yingchu could hear the sound of insects on the trees outside, she had already sent the noodles, and it was his business how to deal with it.

But she didn't expect that he would suddenly say this to herself, and it was a little perfunctory to make noodles for him, and she was also a little guilty.

"If the prince is kind in his heart, he will naturally live a healthy life, and if you have something to say to her face, I really don't understand, and it will be a waste of your time. ”

She pretended not to understand and turned around to leave, but Lu Yuanbai didn't stop her until her figure disappeared completely, and his eyes fell on the bowl of longevity noodles......

No need for others to talk about it, he knows that he is not a good person, and now it is a peaceful and prosperous world on the surface, but he is dirty and pedantic behind his back, how many people do he really see?

Moreover, once some things have begun, it is impossible to stop, and there is no room for regret, such as the war between him and the emperor.

Chi Yingchu tossed and turned all night, she didn't sleep well at all, she vaguely dreamed that she betrayed Lu Yuanbai, and then the two pairs of parents were strangled by Lu Yuanbai in public, which scared her into a cold sweat in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, she opened the door and saw the servants guarding outside, and her eyebrows twisted into doubt: "When did you wait here, what do you want to do?"

She recognized it at a glance, these were the people who often followed Lu Yuanbai, although there was no big deal in the house recently, there were many novelties than usual.

"You finally woke up, the prince said that bowl of longevity noodles...... "The other party is the steward of the palace, and he shouted respectfully, and his attitude towards her has changed significantly.

She still remembered that when Lu Yuanbai deliberately embarrassed herself when she first entered the palace, the palace steward was one of the people who fell into the ground.

It's good not to mention this matter, but mentioning it makes her feel a headache, and she waved her hand indifferently: "Even if he pours it and feeds it to the dog, he doesn't have to tell me." ”

The steward's eyes became strange when he looked at her, but it was only for a moment, and he pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly: "You are really joking, the prince has run out, and you say that your skills are good." ”

"Really?" she said in a nonchalant tone, not much of a surprise, "is there anything else?"

She knew in her heart that if it were only because of this, the steward would not be able to stand guard at the door of her house early in the morning, unless there was something to tell her.

Seeing that she saw through it, the steward was not as timid as Fang Cai, and his attitude was a little more flattering: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the prince still wants to use it again, and the small kitchen is ready for you." ”

The steward was afraid that she would not agree, so he quickly added: "The prince has always been picky about his taste, and the ingredients must be clean, but if you make it according to the bowl from yesterday, you will be rewarded if you do it well." ”

Chi Yingchu didn't dare to be interested in those rewards, thinking of the blood-soaked dream last night, she couldn't help but raise her feet and walk out, and asked casually, "What reward will it be?"

"In the past, on the prince's birthday, the monthly routine of the next person was twice as usual, but you are different, the prince is happy, and he will treat you better......"

The steward didn't see the coldness oozing from her eyes, and she sneered at the corners of her mouth: "Yes, I want to live in the palace, but can't I only rely on him?"

She walked into the small kitchen, the miscellaneous maids were waiting in the yard, and the steward followed her with a smile: "You can choose who you want to use." ”

Chi Yingchu's gaze swept over one of the maids, she lowered her head and didn't speak, her hands had nowhere to put them, she looked cramped and uneasy, she stopped in front of the maids.

"Raise your head and let me see. ”

"This ......," the maid swallowed.

The steward lowered his face and drank dishappily: "If you look up, you will look up, if there is anything unsightly, don't wait for someone to press you to be honest." ”

The maid raised her head tremblingly, looked at Chi Yingchu's gaze, looked away weakly, and her eyes were red.

Before she did anything, she became like this, and unknowingly thought she was bullying.

A plain and unremarkable face, she really didn't have an impression in her mind, and then she ignored it.

"It's just a bowl of noodles, I can make it myself, you are all waiting outside. ”

She walked into the small kitchen with her dress, turned back when she thought of something, and pointed to the maid just now: "You come in with me." ”

"Yes. ”

The maid followed her in, watching her busy work inside and out, and did not give herself room to interfere at all.

What could have been done in half an hour was dragged by her for an hour, and the maid finally couldn't bear it: "What am I going to do?"

Chi Yingchu didn't seem to hear her words, and asked those maids to do whatever they wanted, but they couldn't go out of the yard, otherwise they would be punished if they were seen by the steward.

"If I go out, you're watching from inside. She said to the maid in the kitchenette.

The maid answered in a deep voice, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Chi Yingchu to go out, she was talking to the maids in the courtyard, and she didn't notice the scene in the small kitchen at all.

"Sixth aunt, sixth aunt?"

When Chi Yingchu heard the voice, her body paused slightly, but she didn't look back, she continued to listen to those maids, and then heard Chu Jingshu's name, which made her interested.

"Concubine Jing is favored for a while, and only by having a child can she keep her favor, and yesterday I saw her find a doctor in Beijing, and I guessed that she was not a person who could not give birth. ”

"That's really a poor person, not to mention the palace, even in the house, a woman can only reflect her value when she has a child. ”

"......" Chi Yingchu disagreed with their words, but he would not argue with them.

No wonder I saw Chu Jingshu sneaking out of the palace yesterday, it turned out that she wanted to find a miracle doctor, but she had been in Beijing for more than ten years, and she had never heard of any miracle doctor.

It's good that she doesn't know, this knowing, if she gets her wish, how can she be worthy of Chu Yimiao, the original owner of this body?
