Chapter 362: Looking for Trouble

Chu Liuzheng looked at him with a wooden face. What reaction do you want?

"You don't look stupid. Don't tell me you didn't notice anything." Feng Jing picked up a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it and swallowing it. "You don't think that just because of your status as a young master, anyone would be willing to hug you, right?"

Even after all this, you still want to leave the palace and open a restaurant?

I have never seen any concubine from the harem appear in public on the street.

Chu Liuzheng: "...Eat your fried noodles!"

You're being clever when you shouldn't be! You deserve to not be able to catch up with Doctor Qin!

"I'm eating." Feng Jing picked up the noodles with chopsticks and wanted to continue the topic, but Chu Liuzheng stuffed his mouth with smashed cucumber.

His eyes widened. "Mmmmm! Mmmmm!"

Chu Liuzheng swung the kitchen knife, the sharp blade embedded in the cutting board, and squinted at him: "If you say another word, you will never eat the food I cook again."

Feng Jing: “…”

Feng Jing: “…”

Doctor Feng is a man of great adaptability, so let’s not mention him.

In the main house, Zhou Yuande helped Xiao Jingfan wash up and served him a cup of tea.

"Master, Miss Liu Zheng cooked some seafood porridge and just brought it over with some side dishes. Would you like a bowl?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jingfan rubbed his sore brow, walked to the table and sat down. He glanced at the food box on the table and asked, "Where is she?"

Zhou Yuande brought out the porridge and side dishes and said, "I'm going to the guest house to deliver the food."

Xiao Jingfan frowned unhappily: "There are no maids in the mansion?"

Zhou Yuande thought to himself that Chu Liuzheng's current status was just a maid, and you didn't even give her a lift.

He handed the chopsticks to Xiao Jingfan and explained softly, "Miss Liu Zheng has something to ask Abbey Master Jiang, so I'm delivering it to her personally."

Xiao Jingfan was puzzled when he heard this.

What could that woman ask Jiang Yao for advice?

Isn’t she most afraid of poisonous insects?

What could happen to Chu Liuzheng?

Just looking for trouble.

She just didn't want to stay in front of Xiao Jingfan now.

Under the shade of the trees in the guest house, Chu Liuzheng sat on a small bench, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, and unconsciously let out his eighth long sigh.

She was doing well as a palace maid, with her career path planned out. She only needed two more merits to leave the palace, and she had never thought about changing her career.

How come this opportunity to change jobs came to me?

She just didn't understand. She had no family background, no connections, and no money. Why would the emperor, a person who put profit above all else, fall for a plain little palace maid like her?

Do you want her to be happy with your service?

Anyone else can do this kind of thing if they put in some effort. How many loyal servants does an emperor want?

Picture her appearance?

The thing that the harem has the most is beauties. If you throw someone like her in, not even a single splash will be made.

Picture her body?

Haha, same reason as above.

Besides, judging from the frequency with which that gentleman visited the harem, he didn't seem like the kind of person who was obsessed with women.

Chu Liuzheng held his cheek, frowned, and was puzzled.

She is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, nor can she play any other musical instruments or sing, let alone dance. What is it about her that the emperor sees so well?

You can't just run faster than others just because she joins in the fun, right?

When she unconsciously let out her sixteenth long sigh, Jiang Yao, who was meditating in the tree, opened his eyes and looked down at her: "You are very noisy."

Feeling despised, Chu Liuzheng immediately shut up and planned to find another place to continue thinking.

But if you glance at the yard, you can see that it is shaded by the trees and there is no need to expose yourself to the sun.

Jiang Yao changed her position in the tree, her legs hanging down and swaying gently, and tilted her head to look at her: "Why don't you go back?"

Chu Liuzheng really didn't want to change places, so he looked up at her and said, "I promise I won't make any more noise."

Let her escape a little longer!

As long as she didn't keep sighing, Jiang Yao didn't care that there was one more person in the yard and continued to meditate.

Tongniang was sitting under the porch doing needlework. The sun was too glaring, so she moved under the shade of a tree.

Chu Liuzheng tilted his head and took a look, and found that Tongniang was actually embroidering a red veil, and the reference pattern was a pair of lotus flowers.

Are you going to get married?

Noticing her gaze, Tong Niang smiled, glanced at Jiang Yao in the tree, and whispered, "Young Master Cang has been waiting for the young lady for three years. The young lady said she would not marry until she had avenged her master. I thought it would work this time, so I thought of preparing the things first. I'm sorry to bother you, young lady."

After the relationship was no longer hostile, Tongniang's attitude towards others became much more moderate. She was no longer as cruel and gloomy as when they first met. Instead, she became like a friendly neighbor lady who would talk to you about other people's affairs and even give you some peanuts as a snack at the end.

[Junior sister is actually engaged.]

Chu Liuzheng was a little surprised, but thinking that the Jiang family was also a big family, it was not surprising that the young ladies in the family, especially as outstanding as Jiang Yao, had engagements.

She looked up at Jiang Yao in the tree.

The woman sits cross-legged on a tree branch, her hands holding a flower on her knees, eyes closed, like a delicate porcelain doll. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a golden glow around her. She could easily be a temple deity.

Chu Liuzheng simply couldn't imagine what she would look like wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe to get married.

Perhaps noticing her gaze, Jiang Yao opened his eyes and looked down.

Chu Liuzheng smiled at her, stood up and patted the hem of his skirt: "I'm going back."

Jiang Yao nodded and closed her eyes again.

Tongniang saw Chu Liuzheng out of the hospital and warmly invited her to visit again.

Chu Liuzheng agreed with a smile, carried the food box into the garden, found a secluded place, curled up again, and sighed out the sighs that had been accumulating.

"well!"

Don't want to go back.

She huddled up with her knees hugged, her chin resting on them, staring blankly at the grass and trees in front of her.

In the sunlight, the floating dust dances lightly, like leaping elves.

In the pond not far away, the lotus leaves were stretched out, and last night's dewdrops were rolling along the leaves at the teasing of the wind. They rolled and rolled, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What should I do?" Chu Liuzheng muttered to himself, tapping his chin on his knees. He hugged his body and swayed from side to side. His elbow accidentally knocked over the food box next to him, making a noise.

There are footsteps coming this way.

"I wonder who it is." A large hand with thick calluses on the knuckles pushed aside the bushes. After seeing the person clearly, the vigilance in Lu Fei's eyes disappeared, and he asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

"Enjoy the cool air." Chu Liuzheng made up an excuse and picked up the food box that had fallen to the ground.

It's only May, and this excuse is not very clever.

"Young Master is up." Lu Fei stood up and waited for her.

[Okay, it's time for the cattle and horses to go to work.]

Chu Liuzheng pushed the mess in his mind into a corner, stood up, brushed off the dust and dead leaves on his skirt, and followed him to the main courtyard.

"I'll do it." Lu Fei took the lunch box and started a conversation. "Your cooking skills are pretty good."

"Yeah." Chu Liuzheng answered absentmindedly.

Lu Fei turned his head to look at her, and seeing that she was not interested, he did not force her to chat. He sent her back to the main courtyard and continued to do his own thing.

In the yard, Xiao Jingfan was practicing boxing.

She knew every move by heart, and her fighting was smooth and flowing, while her white silk gown made her figure look even more graceful.

Normally, a beauty lover like Chu Liuzheng would have stood there and admired for at least two minutes, and in his heart praised the boss for his good boxing skills, but today he was not in such a good mood.

She took a quick glance and then looked away, nodded to Zhou Yuande, put the food box she was carrying back into the room, and asked the maid to bring the iron.

She unfolded the cloak and hung it on the rack. She dusted it carefully first, then placed it on the ironing board and ironed the cloak inside and out to make sure there was no wrinkle before she started to burn incense.

The little maidservant was amazed: "The girl is such a meticulous person." Why does a cloak need to be made so carefully?

Chu Liuzheng laughed dryly.

Before she figured out how to deal with this emergency, she didn't want to hang around that gentleman, so she could only find something else to do.
