The result was a soft snort from Lu Xiaoyao: "Dark Flower, look up and let us see you."

When the other person looked up, what came into view was a small, pitiful face. The features were quite delicate, but compared to her bright and beautiful appearance, Lu Xiaoyao felt that she was not good enough.

The next second, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly laughed, staring at the seemingly frail and delicate girl in front of her, and said, "You're not good-looking at all. Who will take responsibility if you make His Majesty look ugly in front of him?"

Zhu Changshou: ?

Former Tea Blossom, Present Hidden Flower: Damn it!

Seeing the resentment and anger flashing in the eyes of the palace maid on the ground, Lu Xiaoyao had originally only intended to find a reason to drive away this little palace maid who had tried to ruin her CP, but now she changed her mind.

Does Zhu Changshou know that this young palace maid has impure motives?

Thinking this, Lu Xiaoyao glanced out of the corner of her eye at Zhu Changfu, who was sweating profusely because she had bluntly said she wanted to get rid of the palace maid.

It's obvious these two have something to hide!

Zhu Changshou is usually like a nobody, but now he suddenly "appears" and sends over a palace maid who clearly has designs on Emperor Jing'an. This is very strange!

"Brother Changfu, these tea-serving maids aren't imperial concubines. Why do they need to be so beautiful? As long as their features are regular and delicate and suit His Majesty's taste, isn't that enough?"

Suddenly, she went from being considered ugly to being considered pretty, which made the young palace maid, who had always been very confident in her appearance, question her life choices.

"Is that so? But, someone who pleases His Majesty... can she please His Majesty as much as I do?"

Lu Xiaoyao pointed at herself with a narcissistic finger and proudly raised her chin.

Hmph! Only someone like me, who is loyal and determined to protect my CP, is pleasing to His Majesty!

That's right! I'll protect my favorite couple! Who dares to covet my couple?!

"Our servant is the one who best suits His Majesty's tastes!"

Lost in her narcissistic fantasy of being a great hero protecting the "weak" couple, Lu Xiaoyao was completely oblivious to the shock in Zhu Changshou's eyes after hearing her ambiguous words!

Zhu Changshou: Holy crap?! Your Majesty, you have a preference for eunuchs?
