Chapter 869: Forbearance, showing of affection
Xiao Tianyao was not a person with high EQ. After being rejected by Lin Chujiu, he didn’t say anything but just ate in silence.
After the meal, the two separated tacitly, one went back to the front yard and the other to the backyard, and there was no communication in the middle.
Both of them were rational people, they knew that doing this was good for both of them. However, the servants beside them panicked. Zhenzhu and Manao tried to persuade Lin Chujiu countless times, but Lin Chujiu was extremely disgusted by what good words they said about their prince, so they had to swallow their words and remained silent.
On the second day, Zhenzhu and Manao were still thinking about what to do to make the relationship between their princess and prince better, when Lin Chujiu said: “Let the kitchen prepare lunch in advance, I will deliver lunch to wangye today.”
“Wang, wangfei? You want to bring lunch to wangye?” Zhenzhu’s hand trembled, and she almost tore Lin Chujiu’s hair off.
Did she hear it wrong, or did their princess make a mistake?
Their princess going out to deliver lunch to their prince. Has the sun come out from the west?
“What, is there a problem?” Lin Chujiu turned her head and glanced at Zhenzhu.
Zhenzhu shook her head hastily, and said with a happy face: “No, no, I will let Feicui and Shanhu prepare, and I will not miss the princess’s business.” Their princess was finally enlightened, it was not easy.
“Mmm.” Lin Chujiu nodded indifferently. She was very uncomfortable in her heart, but this matter was discussed yesterday, and she couldn’t change it.
Zhenzhu combed Lin Chujiu’s hair in two or three strokes and hurried to find Feicui and Shanhu. She told them to keep an eye on the kitchen and prepare meals quickly.
After explaining, Zhenzhu came back in a hurry: “Wangfei, which outfit do you want to wear today? Which set of jewelry do you want to bring? This servant will find it for you.”
“No, it’s fine like this.” She was going to see the emperor to check his condition, and the simpler the dress, the better.
“Would this… be too common?” It was the first time for their princess to deliver meals to their prince, so how could she wear casual clothes?
Lin Chujiu said angrily: “Did your prince has never seen me before? He wouldn’t care.” Her most embarrassing and miserable appearance was all thanks to Xiao Tianyao. Xiao Tianyao had seen her the most humble and most helpless look. She doesn’t need to put on the air in front of Xiao Tianyao.
Zhenzhu completely misunderstood Lin Chujiu’s words, and said joyfully: “What wangfei means to say is, no matter what you wear, wangfei looks good in the eyes of wangye.”
“Heh…” Lin Chujiu laughed noncommittally but did not answer.
When the kitchen staff learned that Lin Chujiu was going to deliver lunch to their Prince, they immediately put out all the fresh ingredients and cooked a few dishes that their Prince liked as quickly as possible.
“A total of eight dishes, Miss Feicui, Miss Shanhu, do you think it’s enough?” In less than an hour, the kitchen staff prepared the meal. Eight dishes and one soup, it was much richer than usual, which shows how much the servants of the palace attach importance to this matter.
“It’s enough, pack it all up.” Feicui and Shanhu watched the whole process, making sure that every dish was delicious, then let people put it in the food basket. They returned with the food basket, but just two steps away, they encountered the Assistant Housekeeper who was in a rush.
“Wangfei has already gone to the front yard, you two bring the food basket over there.” The Assistant Housekeeper was sweating profusely and out of breath.
“Thank you, Assistant Housekeeper Wan, for your reminder. You can just talk to someone about this matter. You don’t need to go there yourself.” Feicui and Shanhu said politely.
The Assistant Housekeeper shook his head hastily: “I can’t leave the affairs of wangfei to others, I’d better take a trip myself to rest assured.” It was the first time their princess delivered lunch to their prince. If something went wrong, he couldn’t afford it.
“What Assistant Housekeeper said is right.” Feicui and Shanhu laughed: “Wangfei is still waiting, we will go now.”
Feicui and Shanhu were afraid that Lin Chujiu would wait for a long time, so they walked very fast all the way. If the food in the food basket wouldn’t spill out, they might have trotted all the way.
They rushed to the carriage. Seeing that Lin Chujiu hadn’t come yet, the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, their princess didn’t wait for them.
Lin Chujiu was only a few steps slower than the two of them. As soon as they recovered, Lin Chujiu came over with Zhenzhu and Manao.
Seeing the guards lined up in two rows, the maids carrying food baskets, and the gorgeous carriage in the middle, Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but look up at the sky. She will just go to deliver a meal to Xiao Tianyao, why did they make such a big commotion?
Before Lin Chujiu could express her feelings, the Assistant Housekeeper stepped forward graciously: “Wangfei, the carriage, and guards are ready, and the food is still hot. When do you want to leave?”
“Let’s go now.” Although Lin Chujiu felt that doing so would move the crowd, she was not a hypocritical person. She knew how many people wanted her life, so even if she didn’t like it, she did not refuse to let the guards escort her.
She can only be safe when there were many guards around her. As for the maid? Bringing Zhenzhu out of the four was enough.
With the support of Zhenzhu and Manao, Lin Chujiu got into the carriage and led a group of people toward the imperial palace. As soon as they went out, the spies guarding outside got the news and immediately passed the news to their master.
Before Lin Chujiu arrived at the gate of the palace, the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou knew her movements, but they didn’t know why she came.
“What is Xiao Wangfei doing in the palace at this time? Did she pass the sign to the Empress?” Imperial Concubine Zhou’s first reaction was that Lin Chujiu wanted to see the Empress or settle accounts with the Empress.
After learning that there was none, Imperial Concubine Zhou was stunned. She never dreamed that Lin Chujiu will come to the palace to treat the Emperor.
The Empress also didn’t know Lin Chujiu’s motives, but upon receiving the news that Lin Chujiu had entered the palace, the Empress felt a deep sense of crisis.
“Lin Chujiu will not enter the palace for no reason. She must have a purpose in entering the palace. Send people to inquire about it, and let people keep an eye on the Emperor. Don’t let any accidents happen.” The palace was still under the Empress’s control, which shows her ability.
“This servant understands.” The little eunuch who came in to deliver the news said with a low eyebrow, and after confirming that the Empress had no other orders, he bowed and retreated.
Outside the palace, Lin Chujiu’s movements were being monitored by the Empress; inside the palace, Xiao Tianyao was not ignorant of the Empress’s movements, he received news as soon as the Empress moved.
“It’s not easy to be able to endure for decades.” Just knowing that Lin Chujiu entered the palace, she has a sense of crisis. It was by no means a fluke that the Empress can live to this day and secretly build her power.
Fortunately, the Empress was exposed in advance, otherwise, even he would have found it difficult to face such an enemy who was lurking in the dark.
“After wangfei enters the palace, let the crown prince out, and clean up the people around the seventh prince.” The Empress was very shrewd and good at calculating, but unfortunately, she has a weakness.
Once a person has a weakness, many things will change. For example, after he had Lin Chujiu as his weakness, many things needed to be rearranged… …
