Cen Xijin followed her original idea and sent snow-skin mooncakes to each room in the East Palace. Although the number of people was reduced, she did not dare to favor one thing over another.
The people in the East Palace have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. They might give something away to someone, and they will hate it. However, even if she delivered it everywhere and missed nothing, she was still being watched.
After walking around the East Palace delivering mooncakes, Cen Xijin was covered in steam and sweating profusely. She was about to move into the kitchen to take a rest when Wang Xiang came angrily.
Seeing Wang Xiang's little face turning red, Cen Xijin immediately had an idea in his mind. This girl rarely came to the kitchen on her own initiative. There must be a reason for this situation. If something is abnormal, it is a monster.
"Lu Ting?" Lu Ting is coming to the East Palace to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. Cen Xijin already knew about it at the palace banquet yesterday. He is well-travelled.
Wang Xiang was so angry that he kicked away the pebbles in the yard one after another. After that, he stared at the dust on the light pink shoes, holding his breath and saying nothing.
Seeing this, Cen Xijin felt reassured and laughed evilly: "Oh, let me guess, that Miss Lu has entered the Linzhi Palace? His Highness likes her very much, right? After all, she is such a beautiful young lady."
Despite his young age, His Royal Highness has seen thousands of sails and admired beauties. It’s really normal for people like this to control their appearance.
"That's a goblin!!" Wang Xiang almost said these words through gritted teeth.
When you first entered the East Palace, you were called a goblin... Cen Xijin complained silently in her heart. She could almost hear the crisp sound of those six heavy words hitting the courtyard.
In fact, if strictly speaking, Wang Xiang and Lu Ting are both fairies. It's just that the magic is different.
Wang Xiang's face is a natural oval face, beautiful and noble, and she has the temperament of a lady from an official family, with a little arrogance, a little flamboyance, a little domineering, to go with her innocent face , Lingbo's twinkling almond-shaped eyes gave rise to the feeling of a delicate and innocent little fox demon - no matter what, it was Xiao Wei.
Lu Pavilion is quite different. She is fourteen years old, and she also has a perfect oval face, but she has a pair of hazy peach blossom eyes, and the color of her eyes is very different from that of the Central Plains woman. It is dark brown with a hint of The faint golden color in her circles, the charming and slutty look at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, coupled with her enchanting figure - just one look at her makes people feel like she is the reincarnation of Daji.
As for Cen Xijin, from top to bottom, inside and out, there is a strong smell of radish - either a radish head, a radish stem, or a radish seedling - anyway, he is still undersized. The skinny little girl who has not yet grown out has a few yellow hairs.
"Being a third-class palace maid, right?" Wang Xiang was sent to the East Palace by Concubine De, and she was still a third-class palace maid, so she guessed that Lu Ting would not go beyond Wang Xiang in the beginning no matter what.
"She's just a lowly dancer!" After all, she is a rich lady in the Shangshu Mansion, and she has only become a third-class palace maid. She won't mention the other third-class palace maids. No matter how low-born those girls are, they are still from good families. ——But that Lu Ting is just a dancer from a foreign country, a prostitute, how can I be on the same level as that kind of person!
The more Wang Xiang thought about it, the more he wanted to scratch that goblin face.
"I'm telling you, don't worry. Lu Ting's identity will determine her future path. Whether she gets along well or not is just a toy. Can Monkey Sun escape from Tathagata's Wuzhi Mountain no matter how hard he tries? What's more? She is not a monkey yet! You are different." Sister Xiang comes from an official family. As long as she bets on the right prince and the right leader, can her future be limited?
Of course, the premise is that His Highness the Prince can sit on the dragon throne smoothly.
Cen Xijin didn't dare to say this.
"Yes, you're right! Lu Ting and I are different!" Wang Xiang thought about it and cheered up again. He looked at her staring at Cen Xijin with burning eyes, and then patted Cen Xijin's shoulder steadily, which meant a lot. He praised her, "Jin Yatou, Jin Yatou, can't you tell that you have the talent of a military strategist!"
Cen Xijin was so slapped by her that he was sweating profusely, his head shrank, and he thought to himself, what kind of strategist is he?
However, I don’t know what kind of trouble-making physique Lu Ting had, but something happened not even a full day after arriving in the East Palace.
While everyone was having dinner in the small kitchen, news came from Linzhidian that Lu Ting had eaten something dirty and had a stomachache that was as bad as giving birth to a baby.
A palace maid whispered: "Oh, don't let it be the menstrual period."
Qing Zao picked up a piece of scrambled eggs and put it into his mouth with a sneer: "Who knows. Maybe he ate something."
Cen Xijin buried his head and picked up the rice grains like a storm. She knew that at this juncture it was better to say less.
Although Lu Ting was a third-class palace maid, she served His Highness the Crown Prince in the Linzhi Palace and was involved in everything with him. Therefore, her stomachache this time was definitely not her fault alone.
I don’t know who is so unlucky as to be involved in this matter.
He shook his head and continued to pick up the rice.
At this moment, Linzhidian was not as lively as in the small kitchen, and everyone was spinning around in a hurry.
Ordinarily, a palace maid eating the wrong thing would not cause such a big disturbance.
But Lu Ting is no ordinary palace maid. How long has it been since she entered the East Palace! Not to mention, she is also deeply appreciated and valued by His Majesty... As a result, this matter happened. Her face is not familiar yet, and her butt is not yet warm, so something is wrong?
"What's going on? What's going on, Miss Lu?" Wang Xiang screamed happily in his heart, but he was still worried on his lips, looking very concerned.
Yunxiang seemed very calm: "You must have eaten something unclean, right? Or maybe you are just acclimatized."
She acted as if she didn't care at all. Also, as far as Lu Ting's status and motives are concerned, whether she is sick or dead, what does it have to do with her? Besides, even if she dies, there is just one more corpse in the world.
Humph, a shameless gadget, who does he really think he is? !
"Then why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at Sister Lu?" After half a day of contact, the prince liked her very much - in fact, he didn't like this person, he just simply liked the beautiful things in the world. It's like he likes Wang Xiang.
"Your Highness, your only sister is Princess Xianrong," Yunxiang said without any emotion. She also glanced at the weak Lu Ting and spoke slowly, with a slow and unhurried tone. Lu Ting's ears felt like a soft knife cutting flesh, "Besides, it's so late, and there's no reason for the imperial doctor to run to the harem."
"Then the queen mother fell ill at night. Didn't the imperial doctor also go to Yonghe Temple?" The prince blinked, not understanding.
"You can tell me, that's the Queen..." Yunxiang explained with a leisurely smile, "How can Lu Pavilion be worthy of a third-class palace maid? Let alone her, even the first-class palace maid is not as good as Ye Zhaoyu. The principles of medical diagnosis and treatment.”
Wang Xiang walked up and down the hall with a concerned and anxious look, not stopping for a moment, but secretly observing, and when she saw Yunxiang smiling meaningfully, she couldn't help but shudder. Having been in the house for a long time, she also knows that the rules are dead, but people are alive.
So can the imperial doctor diagnose and treat Lu Ting?
According to the rules, it is impossible, but from a moral perspective, as long as the master is kind-hearted and willing to help, it will be helpful. Anyway, it’s just a casual greeting.
Wang Xiang knew it in his heart, but he would not say it out loud. She is not that stupid to help her potential enemies deal with such a terrifying existence as the Grand Palace Maid.
Ping Nu, who has always been the most soft-hearted and kind-hearted, sighed: "Look at her, she is so pitiful. She came to this foreign country alone, her stomach hurts and she is rolling all over the floor, and no one is looking after her. Alas." Then he wiped it off. Wipe your eyes.
The eldest maid, Fei Rong, shook her head: "I guess she just doesn't adapt to the local environment. Today, Your Highness has shown her respect. She eats the same food as His Highness, all of which are rare things flying in the sky and swimming in the water. The Prince is still fine." , why is something wrong with her?"
Listening to the sarcastic comments from people around him, Lu Ting was so painful that he couldn't sit still. He pushed himself up and cried, "Your Highness... this slave... ate... a piece of moon cake in the afternoon!"
moon cake?
Wang Xiang was stunned and stopped.
Feirong's face gradually became serious: "What moon cake? Who gave it to you?"
"Then... that mooncake is different from other mooncakes... what is it called snowskin... the snowskin mooncake... was given to me by Qingzao from the small kitchen... I looked at it and ate one..."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people around him froze.
Oops!
Wang Xiang rolled his eyes and quickly thought that Lu Huxu's move was probably aimed at her and Jin Yatou!
I heard that Qingzao had always been a candidate for the kitchen assistant, but Jin Yatou took the advantage. Don't people hate her?
After a little questioning, Jin Yatou will definitely be involved, and everyone in the East Palace knows about her closeness to him, and he has lost the favor of the prince because of Lu Hu.
Now they will inevitably say that it was she, Wang Xiang, who sent Cen Xijin to kill Lu Ting.
If it was just harming Lu Ting, it would be a trivial matter and not a big punishment, but... His Highness also ate the snow-skin mooncake.
What if the mooncakes with dirty things in them are accidentally eaten by His Highness?
Masters can tolerate infighting among their slaves, but if the master is harmed because of the infighting, it is a serious crime - but this master is still the crown prince.
"Snowskin mooncakes? Are they the white and soft mooncakes I ate yesterday?" The prince was a little stunned.
Yunxiang, who had been silent for a long time, gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Someone, bring the green dates from the kitchen!"
Wang Xiang can feel the fighting between his teeth at this moment!
Who is Qingzao? She is a bad girl who covets the position of deputy kitchen purchaser and wants to get rid of Cen Xijin!
Even if there is no such enemy relationship, even if she is just an ordinary little palace maid, she will not be so kind to cover up for others when the matter becomes serious and involves herself!
As the saying goes, follow the vine and find the melon, and people still want to follow Cen Xijin and find her, Wang Xiang!
