Chapter 182 Charm 2
Chapter 182 Charm 2
Finally, the chance for Shiyao to escape from Jade's clutches has come!
A new pot of white magnolia has been planted in the greenhouse and needs to be sent to the Qianqing Palace for the emperor to enjoy.
This is an opportunity to show up in front of the Emperor. Normally, everyone in the greenhouse would be vying to go there, but now they all gave it to Shi Yao.
"Shiyao, everyone has a lot of work to do and is too busy. You go and deliver the flowers to the Qianqing Palace later."
"it is good."
Following the leader's instructions, Shiyao obediently carried the flowers away.
"Wow, my lovely Yaoyao, please don't go~"
If Yaoyao is favored by the emperor, then after this departure, they will never see each other again. Palace maid A is very reluctant to let go and stretches out Erkang's hand to grab Shiyao.
Eunuch B rebuked her for being so selfish, "You don't want Yaoyao to leave. Do you want Yaoyao to be bullied by Biyu all the time?!"
Maid A also felt wronged. She just said this, "I can't bear to let Yaoyao go. Of course I know it's better to let Yaoyao go."
Eunuch B couldn't help it, "To be honest, I can't bear to part with Yaoyao either!"
"There's no other way. In order to protect Yaoyao from being bullied, we have to sacrifice ourselves."
The two cried bitterly, and peeked through the crack of the door to see Shiyao's back getting farther and farther away.
……
The flowerpot was not light, so Shiyao held it carefully. In this clear and crisp autumn weather, Shiyao walked out with sweat all over her forehead.
Seeing that they were almost at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Shiyao put down the flowerpot and wiped the sweat from her nose with her sleeve.
She didn't want to leave a good impression in front of the emperor, but she was afraid of offending the eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace.
Sure enough, when the eunuch Xia in front of the emperor saw her, he did not look at her coldly or scold her. That was enough.
Xiao Xiazi didn't just want to glare at her and scold her. When he first saw this palace maid, he just thought she was really cute and lovable. He hurried forward to help her carry the flowers, "Oh, why are you the one delivering the flowers? The flower room is so far away from here. Look, your face is flushed."
"Thank you, Eunuch Xia. I can do it myself," Shi Yao smiled sweetly and refused his help. After all, delivering flowers was her duty. In her memory, this Eunuch Xia was the apprentice of Su Peisheng, the chief steward of the emperor. It was nice of him to come forward to help enthusiastically, but she couldn't just push her work to others as a matter of course.
This smile was so sweet that it touched Xiao Xiazi's heart. "May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Your servant Shiyao."
"Then Miss Shiyao, please come with me." Xiao Xiazi felt pity for Shiyao. How could such a lovely and lovable girl do such rough work? He wanted to give her a chance, so he deliberately led her into the palace. You know, those eunuchs and palace maids who sent flowers before, no matter how hard they worked, would never have the chance to show up in front of the emperor.
Xuan Ling is not busy today. He is leisurely leaning on the couch reading "Li Jun Shu".
"Your Majesty, the newly grown magnolia flowers from the greenhouse have been delivered."
"Ah."
Xuan Ling responded, without taking his eyes off the book, and did not comment on Xiao Xiazi's words.
Shiyao carried the flowers and followed Xiao Xiazi closely. She didn't know where to put the flowers.
Xiao Xiazi originally wanted the emperor to take a look at Shiyao, but who knew the emperor's reaction was so cold. He thought it was a bad idea and had to take Shiyao to where the flowers were placed.
When passing by Master Su Peisheng, he was glared at by him fiercely. Su Peisheng knew exactly what Xiao Xiazi was thinking.
The fragrance of the magnolia flower was refreshing and refreshing. Xuan Ling was intrigued by the fragrance, so he said, "Don't put it out yet."
Only when Hua came close did Xuan Ling's eyes leave the book on the table, and then he was stunned.
The magnolia flower is noble and elegant, with a rich fragrance, but it is not as eye-catching as the palace maid holding it. Her fair face is flushed. Is she tired from carrying the flowers all the way?
"Put it on the table," Xuan Ling said. Shi Yao obediently put the flower pot on the small table. While moving, she inevitably moved closer to Xuan Ling.
The glowing eyes seemed to be filled with moisture, and the rosy cheeks, set against the fair face, were like red plum blossoms in the snow - eye-catching.
so cute.
Xuan Ling asked, "Are you a maid in the flower room?"
"Yes…"
Shi Yao lowered her head and answered honestly. In fact, she was a little curious about the emperor. From his voice, he seemed quite young, but she remembered that the emperor in "Legend of Zhen Huan" was very old.
But no matter how curious she was, Shiyao just kept her head down. She only came to the Qianqing Palace to deliver flowers, and there was no point in knowing too much.
"What's your name?"
"Your servant Shiyao."
Shiyao Shiyao, Xuan Ling repeated it twice in his mind, and it came out very smoothly. "Shiyao, it's from Zhang Jixian's "Qiantang River has a piece of music" Yaoqin a piece of music with several poems, mountain boy boils tea in the stove without smoke? What a good name."
Well, Shi Yao actually didn't know the origin of her name. When faced with her boss's inquiry, she had to answer truthfully, "Your Majesty, I am not very knowledgeable and don't know anything about Zhang Jixian."
Well, Xuan Ling discovered another of her strengths, honesty.
As for the previous advantage, it is naturally cute.
"Why are you here to give flowers? But someone is bullying you?"
The emperor asked this, did Shiyao really want to look up to see if he was serious?
Although she had only been a palace maid for more than a month, she was already very clear about her duties. She had the obligation to send flowers. Besides, how could her sending flowers make the emperor think that someone was bullying her?
Could it be that the ghost thing is showing its power again?
Shi Yao didn't want to say more, so she replied, "It just so happens that I am the most idle today, so I came to send flowers. Everyone is very nice, and no one bullies me."
Shy?
Otherwise, why would he keep his head down? Xuan Ling was amused by his own thoughts, "Why don't you dare to look up at me?"
Shiyao:???
She, a modern person, knows that in ancient times, one could not just look up at the emperor's face, as that was a crime of contempt for the monarch. This is what the emperor said.
"Your Majesty, I dare not offend you."
She wanted to leave, but had to wait for the emperor to give the order to release her. It was obvious that the emperor was in a very good mood and not only did he not want to release her, he was also looking forward to the scene where Shi Yao would look up and face the emperor, and be amazed by her appearance.
"I allow you to offend."
Having said that, Shiyao had to watch it even if she didn't want to.
Just as Xuan Ling expected, Shi Yao was stunned.
So handsome.
He was so handsome that Shiyao's brain crashed and she could only think of the word "very handsome". She couldn't remember any of the descriptions like "as handsome as a jade tree in the wind", "unparalleled in beauty", "elegant and graceful", "as handsome as Pan An"...
However, although Shi Yao has not watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan", she has seen clips of it on the short video platform. She can only say that she knows something about it, but not much. However, it can also make her certain that the emperor in the play cannot be the one in front of her.
Xuan Ling smiled proudly, he had always known that he was extremely handsome.
However, Shiyao quickly came to her senses, which was beyond Xuan Ling's expectations.
After all, the modern Internet is well developed. Although Shiyao has never seen the real person, she has seen a lot of him through the screen, so her immunity is not bad.
Moreover, although she doesn't want to admit it, those perverts who entangled her in real life are still very eye-catching in the eyes of the public when they are not crazy.
Well, Xuan Ling discovered another of her strengths, her strong concentration.
What a treasure! It’s not so much that he discovered one advantage after another, but rather that his heart was moved again and again.
When Shiyao saw Xuan Ling clearly, Xuan Ling also saw her clearly. Two big eyes, a mouth, and a nose are things that everyone has on their face, but why are they so cute on her face?
Really like.
"Would you like to have an easier job?"
Xuan Ling wanted to keep her.
Shi Yao didn't want to stay. She didn't understand the emperor's implication of "easy work". Just a word change, she wanted to refuse, "Your Majesty, my work in the flower room is good enough."
She was used to staying in the greenhouse and didn't want to move easily. Even for Biyu, she had found a way to restrict her by just using the rules as an excuse.
Xuan Ling thought, no matter how good the work in the greenhouse was, could it be as good as being by his side?
Shi Yao said that no one bullied her, which might be true. After all, Xuan Ling knew how much his subordinates wanted to try their luck in the Qianqing Palace. Since Shi Yao was allowed to come, it seemed that they got along well.
However, Shiyao actually refused, and Xuan Ling felt that he did not explain it clearly enough.
"The Qianqing Palace is short of a tea-serving maid. Are you willing?"
Can she say no?
Very good, Shiyao was sure, that ghost thing was showing its power again.
She knew she couldn't avoid it, and sometimes the more she tried to avoid it, the more mistakes she made, so she had no choice but to agree, "I am willing."
Xiao Xiazi, who was hiding at the side, winked at his master Su Peisheng and said, "The Palace of Heavenly Purity is in need of a palace maid to serve tea."
Can the Qianqing Palace be short of palace maids to serve tea?
There is definitely no shortage.
This was just an excuse for the emperor to keep Miss Shiyao. Xiao Xiazi felt proud in his heart that he had done the right thing by bringing Miss Shiyao here.
Su Peisheng glared at him fiercely again. As the saying goes, "Fools have good fortunes," and this stupid boy happened to run into him today.
