Chapter 10: Stealing

Although she noticed that Zhi Tao had moved, Gong Tianyao still pretended to know nothing, chewing pears in her mouth, and did not forget to praise her for being really sweet.

This sentence fell into the ears of Song Zhao, who was closest to her, Song Zhao looked sideways slightly, and saw that there was still a plate in front of her, Gong Tianyao just picked up another piece, remembering the scene just now, his tone slowed down a little, and said: "Pears are cold, and you can't be greedy for too much deliciousness, not to mention that you have just used a lot of sweet and greasy and oily things", Song Zhao said, putting a cup of tea in front of her in front of her: "Let's use tea to moisten your throat." ”

Gong Tianyao's action of stuffing pear slices into his mouth unconsciously stopped, and he was stunned by Song Zhao's sudden care, not to mention that he thought he had eaten too much in front of so many people.

She laughed dryly twice, but in the end she still ate the pear in her hand, drank two sips of tea, and then smiled: "Thank you husband for your concern." ”

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, but he was afraid that he didn't really care about himself, but just put on a show in front of his elders. Gong Tianyao sneered, looking at Song Zhao's cold and indifferent face as always, and her heart was even more determined in her heart.

The atmosphere between the two became a little indescribable because of Song Zhao's words, Gong Tianyao took the handkerchief handed by Lianxin and wiped his hands, and was thinking about how to break the deadlock, when he suddenly heard Zhang Guifei's anxious and panicked voice: "How could it be gone?" Quickly send someone to find it, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find it for the palace! ”

Zhi Tao's face was full of panic, her head was buried low, and her mouth kept saying yes, and everyone's eyes were fixed on their master and servant.

"What's going on, what's yelling?"

The emperor doesn't like Zhang Guifei now, but now when he sees her like this, his inquiring tone can't help but become bad.

Concubine Zhang Guifei ignored the emperor's impatience with her, and her voice was eager: "Your Majesty, the concubine has lost a bracelet and wants Zhi Tao to find it." ”

"It's just a bracelet, if you lose it, you lose it, what does it look like in a panic?" The emperor was even more annoyed when he heard this. Today's good banquet was all ruined by Zhang Guifei's mother and son.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Guifei's tone was complaining: "If it was really an ordinary bracelet, it would be fine, but this one is different, it is the first gift you gave to your concubine by the emperor, and at that time, you brought it to your concubine with your own hands." ”

She said while dipping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, although the emperor didn't remember what the first gift he gave to Zhang Guifei was, but seeing her like this, his tone couldn't help but loosen a little: "Since this is the case, then order someone to find it, you think about where it fell?" ”

The queen on the side looked slightly different, but quickly covered it up, and called: "Oak Ming, go and help Zhitao find it together." ”

A hint of smugness flashed in Zhang Guifei's eyes, and she leaned on the emperor, and her voice sounded very aggrieved: "The bracelet concubine has been ordered to keep it, and she hasn't taken it out a few times in total. ”

Hearing her words, the queen was suspicious in her heart, and she just wanted to say something, but when she saw the emperor hugging Zhang Guifei, gently stroking her back, and comforting her softly, she shut up.

With the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, how could the emperor think of the unreasonableness in Zhang Guifei's words, and immediately ordered someone: "Go and find it!" ”

Oak Ming looked around the imperial garden, of course, she found nothing, so she had to come back to recover her life, Zhi Tao walked in front of her, her steps were fast, and she seemed to go straight to Princess Nan'an, she was a little suspicious: Why did Zhi Tao have to take a long detour from the princess twice?

Just thinking about it, I heard Zhi Tao cry out in a lost voice: "Found it!" ”

Everyone looked at each other in unison, and their faces suddenly showed embarrassment. I saw Zhi Tao standing on Gong Tianyao's left, holding a jade bracelet in his hand, looking at Gong Tianyao in disbelief.

Gong Tianyao also turned her eyes to look at her, and said in her heart that the acting skills of the master and servant were really vivid and realistic, and she almost believed herself.

Zhang Guifei had already stood up from her chair, staring intently at the bracelet in Zhitao's hand, and asked her, "Where did you find it?" ”

"In ......," Momo stammered, her eyes flickering, as if there was something unspeakable.

I'll just look at you quietly, Gong Tianyao thought.

"What are you doing with your struggles? Let's just say it! Zhang Guifei said angrily.

"Slave, slave and maid were found by walking on the seat of Princess Nan'an......" Zhi Tao's voice gradually lowered.

However, everyone present still heard her words clearly, and the audience was in an uproar, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

Didn't you say that Princess Nan'an's stupidity has been cured? Could it be that he is now infected with stealing again? Everyone looked at Gong Tianyao with a strange look in their eyes.

Gong Tianyao had to sigh at the acting skills of this little palace maid, pretending to be as timid as a mouse, as if she was afraid of offending herself, who would have thought that this was simply a scene directed and acted by their master and servant?

She stood up calmly, lowered her head and straightened her skirt, raised her head and looked at Zhang Guifei bravely: "Guifei Niangniang, I have a few words I want to ask you, I don't know if you are willing to answer?" ”

The emperor and queen couldn't hide their disappointment when they looked at her, and Gong Tianyao seemed to be unaware, straightened her spine and looked at Zhang Guifei. Zhang Guifei is worthy of being a concubine, she is still calm when she has done something wrong, but she ignores Gong Tianyao's words and says to herself: "If you tell me that you like this bracelet, I will find another good one to give it to you, how can you do such a thing?" The face of the heavenly family has been lost to you! ”

Gong Tianyao ignored her difficulties and asked directly: "Guifei Niangniang, I want to ask you, did you go out with this bracelet today?" ”

Zhang Guifei was stunned for a moment, saw Gong Tianyao's eyes burning at her, and was silent for a moment before she reluctantly replied, "No." ”

"Your palace maid went back to fetch your clothes, why did she suddenly remember to see if the bracelet was there?"

This time it was Zhi Tao's turn to be stunned, and when she saw Gong Tianyao staring at her, her mouth opened a few times, and she muttered, "Slave maid...... It's just a ...... that suddenly came to mind."

"That's it." Gong Tianyao nodded thoughtfully. As soon as she asked, everyone finally realized the strangeness of this theft case, and they all looked at Zhang Guifei suspiciously.

Because no one in the palace has always treated this foolish princess, especially Zhang Guifei, so Gong Tianyao has even entered the palace only a handful of times before, let alone set foot in Zhang Guifei's Lu Dai Palace. Today is the first time she has entered the palace after recovering from her illness, and after she came, she went straight to the imperial garden, and she didn't go anywhere.

Isn't Princess Nan'an the ability to take things out of the air?

"Erchen has one last question." Gong Tianyao smiled slightly, Zhi Tao couldn't help but tremble, Gong Tianyao turned to Zhi Tao, stretched out her hand and pointed to the jade pendant tied around her waist, and said slowly: "Why is my jade pendant on the palace maid of the noble concubine?" ”
