Chapter 339: Scrutiny

Liu Xinlan didn't say a word when Xiahou Ying spoke, just quietly looked at the tea soup tumbling in front of her, but she never stopped examining Xiahou Ying's hot potato in her heart.

Even people like Liu Xinlan, who serves by Nan Rong Yuwei's side every day, are still puzzled why Nan Rong Yuwei suddenly recruited someone from the Xiahou family into the palace as a female official.

And from the sporadic news she inquired about from Song Zhilan, she just knew that the Holy Queen didn't want this Xiahou Ying to have a chance to show up.

Liu Xinlan really can't figure out the meaning of this, and she doesn't dare to speculate, the only way is to hang Xiahou Ying first.

Originally, she planned to see Xiahou Ying again tomorrow and set up rules for her, but she didn't expect this person to come by herself......

"There's nothing you need here, you go back to Sycamore Garden first." Liu Xinlan had a cold face, and said directly without looking at Xiahou Ying.

"Yes." Xiahou Ying didn't plan to entangle, she owed to Liu Xinlan, and walked towards the gate.

Seeing that Xiahou Ying left so simply, Liu Xinlan was quite surprised. According to her thoughts, this new tea waiter was so "unbearable and lonely" as soon as she came, and she came to the imperial tea room by herself, she must have wanted to get her own attention.

The female officials in the palace are different from ordinary palace maids, most of the female officials come from the official family, and some are even the eldest lady of the noble family. Entering the palace as a female official naturally has a clear purpose, or hopes to be favored by the prince, or hopes to be recognized by the holy queen, so many new female officials who enter the palace are very active in their minds and very diligent in their work.

Liu Xinlan saw Xiahou Ying take the initiative to come to the imperial tea room, and thought that she also wanted to show herself well, but now it seems that she is more like she just came over to order something.

This made Liu Xinlan a little incomprehensible to Xiahou Ying for a while.

Liu Xinlan was looking at Xiahou Ying's back in a daze, but Xiao Tao's voice came from outside the door.

"Auntie, I'll get the tea back...... Oops! Before she finished speaking, Liu Xinlan saw the tea canister that was thrown high, but she was some distance from the door at this time, even if she wanted to pick it up, it was too late......

However, the shattering sound that Liu Xinlan expected did not come out after all, and in the next moment, the tea jar that was thrown up had been firmly protected by Xiahou Ying in her arms.

Xia Houying put the tea canister on the table next to her, and then helped Xiao Tao, who was knocked to the ground by the threshold, up.

"Thank you, thank you!" Xiao Tao patted her heart and nodded at Xiahou Ying.

"Are you alright?" Liu Xinlan walked towards the two of them, and saw Xiao Tao rubbing her knees with a wrinkled face, although her face was still cold, she still asked softly.

"It's okay, it's okay! It's just a fall......" Xiao Tao waved her hand while rubbing her aching knees, it was really not a joke just now, she felt that her two kneecaps were going to shatter at this time......

"I see you just fell a lot, why don't you sit down first and put some ice on it." Xia Houying proposed on the side.

"It's okay, I wrestle a lot, it's out of the way!" Xiao Tao shook her head, and showed a sweet smile to Xiahou Ying, and two pear vortices rippled on her round little face.

"Speaking of which, thank you so much, if you hadn't caught the tea canister in time, I would have been in a big disaster!" Xiao Tao said gratefully to Xiahou Ying.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of help." Xiahou Ying smiled and shook her head at Xiao Tao.

"Huh? You're dressed just like me! Are you a new inner houser? Xiao Tao looked at Xiahou Ying, who was dressed in the same way as herself, and asked curiously.
