Chapter 5 Chapter 5 “Having lost all worldly desires…

Once girls have a common enemy, their positions will quickly become clear.

Li Shuyao was very excited. Her misty eyes blinked as if filled with stars. Then she clenched her fists and said crisply, "Yes, I have always thought so!"

Guo Luoluo Qingyao paused fiddling with the silver fork, her eyes widening unconsciously: "Really?"

"Sister, do you really believe what I just said? Don't you think I'm petty?"

Li Shuyao quickly raised three fingers and swore to the sky, her attitude extremely serious, "Really, really, I swear, I really think so!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that these two sentences seemed to contradict the original owner "Li Shuyao"'s personality. She hurriedly continued to add: "A long time ago, before you entered the palace, I felt that something was wrong with her, just like that time when Nanny Wu asked me to..."

Li Shuyao cited several examples in a row and spoke until her mouth was dry. She had to stop and picked up the teacup on the table and drank it with a gulp. She must have been really thirsty.

Guo Luoluo Qingyao on the opposite side saw her posture and hurriedly took the teapot from the side. As soon as she put down the cup, she refilled it immediately.

As soon as the refill was filled, Li Shuyao picked it up and continued drinking. She drank four cups in a row. Across from her, Guo Luoluo Qingyao was completely absorbed in pouring water. After pouring the fifth cup, she saw that Li Shuyao hadn't continued, so she enthusiastically pushed the cup towards her and urged her repeatedly, "Drink more, your lips are turning white."

Li Shuyao held the teacup, not knowing whether to drink it or not. She frowned and looked embarrassed, as if she hadn't figured out why the topic turned to tea.

After a while, he asked Qingyao dryly: "Aren't we talking about Lianchu?"

"Oh, yes." Guo Luoluo Qingyao came back to her senses and realized that Li Shuyao no longer wanted to drink. She put the teapot back to its original position with a little reluctance.

Li Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put the teacup back on the table.

She relaxed her tense face and tried to get the subject back on track, "You may not know..."

Unexpectedly, just as they started, Lingluo's footsteps were heard outside. She was holding a huge tray in her hand, on which were five plates of steaming, fragrant and exquisite snacks.

Because the tray was too big, she couldn't see clearly under her feet after entering the room, and her body swayed slightly, looking very strenuous. Guo Luoluo Qingyao quickly got up and walked outside to help hold the tray. Seeing this, Li Shuyao also hurriedly got off the couch.

There was a round rosewood table on the open space not far from the couch. The three of them worked together to place the tray on the round table.

Lingluo finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. A faint blush appeared on her pretty face. She turned her head and looked at Li Shuyao, smiling, "These pastries were all developed by the imperial kitchen. The young lady then modified the recipe based on your past tastes. I wonder if you can get used to them."

Lingluo was the person specially assigned by the emperor to serve Guo Luoluo Qingyao after she became favored by the emperor. Before that, Li Shuyao had never spoken to her.

When she saw her come in, Li Shuyao's first reaction was to go forward to help. After she helped, she slowly realized that "Li Shuyao" had just had a fierce quarrel with Guo Luoluo Qingyao in front of her yesterday. Not only did she say many unpleasant things, she even threatened that she and Guo Luoluo Qingyao would "go their separate ways and never see each other again in this life!"

...The original owner's harsh words were still echoing in my ears, and only six hours had passed quietly.

Li Shuyao felt half embarrassed and half nervous. She was so shy that she didn't dare to look Lingluo in the eye. She simply lowered her head and tugged at her fingers.

However, she didn't expect that Lingluo would be so generous and forgiving. First, she didn't care about what she said yesterday, and second, she didn't object to her coming to find Qingyao. She even took the initiative to show her goodwill and prepared so many delicious cakes for her.

Li Shuyao raised her head in disbelief.

Lingluo on the opposite side was still waiting for her answer with a smile.

Li Shuyao suddenly felt a surge of courage. She looked Lingluo in the eye and nodded solemnly. "It's delicious. I can get used to it! Besides... I should be the one thanking Sister Lingluo for her kindness." Then she glanced at Guo Luoluo Qingyao and said, "Thank you too."

Guo Luoluo Qingyao's beautiful eyebrows curved suddenly, but she murmured with a faint resentment, "So I was just passing by..."

Li Shuyao: "..."

She glared at Guo Luoluo Qingyao unhappily, then turned to look at Lingluo, "Sister Lingluo, stop busying yourself. Sit down and eat with us."

Lingluo smiled and shook her head, "I've been in the imperial kitchen for a long time. I smell a lot of oil smoke, which makes me uncomfortable. Plus, I was sweating when I came back. I'd better go and wash up first and come to serve you later." As she said that, she put her hands on her waist and knelt down to salute Guo Luoluo Qingyao.

After getting Guo Luoluo Qingyao's approval, he turned and walked out of the room, closing the door considerately.

Li Shuyao couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Lingluo is such a nice person."

I didn't bother with her.

Guo Luoluo Qingyao glanced at her and asked, "How do you know it's my sister's?"

As he spoke, he sat down at the table and reached out to pick up a piece of dessert.

Li Shuyao sat down next to her and said confidently, "In the palace, seniority is everything, right? So, you're the emperor's new favorite concubine. The emperor loves you so much, why would the Imperial Household Department send someone new to the palace who knows nothing to serve you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Guo Luoluo Qingyao stuffed a piece of dessert into her mouth.

The aroma of milk instantly swept into the mouth, the temperature was just right, neither sweet nor greasy. After Li Shuyao made a "wu" sound, she bit the whole piece of dessert into her mouth and chewed it carefully.

Seeing that she was eating with great concentration, Guo Luoluo Qingyao also ate two pieces.

After finishing the meal, she remembered that she had to go to the imperial study to accompany the emperor in the evening. She reluctantly put down the third piece of dessert, walked to the couch, picked up the slightly cold teacup, took a few sips, and suppressed the sweet taste in her mouth, leaving only a faint tea fragrance lingering between her lips and teeth.

Li Shuyao didn't know that Guo Luoluo Qingyao had plans for the evening. Seeing that she didn't want to eat anymore, she put down her snacks and walked back to the couch.

Guo Luoluo Qingyao turned around and looked at her: "Are you full?"

Li Shuyao was silent for a moment, then said, "Almost."

That means you’re not full yet.

Guo Luoluo Qingyao understood everything. She pointed at the snacks on the table and said, "Then continue eating. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Li Shuyao shook her head. "Forget it. It's more important to talk to you."

Dim sum is precious, but best friends are even more valuable. Besides, she is not a greedy little pig. She has come here with great difficulty, so how can her eyes only be filled with dim sum?

Naturally, she would rather talk to Qingyao.

The two of them moved the remaining snacks and teacups on the dining table to the round table, pushed the dining table back into the cabinet, and then huddled together intimately and whispered for about ten minutes.

In Guo Luoluo Qingyao, Li Shuyao gradually regained the feeling of chatting and talking with her roommates at night, and no longer felt uncomfortable about being in a book.

Just treat it as a rare experience.

…

It wasn't until a while later that Li Shuyao suddenly remembered the purpose of her coming here today.

She sat up straight in an instant, "By the way, Qingyao, I suddenly remembered something."

"What's the matter?" Guo Luoluo Qingyao asked curiously.

Li Shuyao said, "You must be careful of the people around you!"

After hearing this, Guo Luoluo Qingyao said: "..."

The expression on her face suddenly became a little complicated. Shouldn't she be the one to tell Li Shuyao this?

She moved her lips, but couldn't help but say, "This is what I wanted to say."

"Hmm?" Li Shuyao was a little confused.

She was still struggling with whether to reveal the official woman's last name.

Then Guo Luoluo Qingyao said bitterly, "It's Lianchu. Didn't we say for a long time that she can't be trusted?"

"So after you go back today, don't talk to her anymore. If she gives you anything, don't eat it. If she asks you to go somewhere, don't be silly and follow her without thinking. It's best to push her away if you can. If not, ask Yueshu and the others to go with you."

"Also, if she tells you something during normal shifts, you can't trust it completely. It's better to spend some time asking Yueshu. Yueshu is honest and quiet, and she does things in a methodical manner. She doesn't have any ulterior motives. You'll know if you spend more time with her."

As soon as the topic of Uya clan was brought up, Guo Luoluo Qingyao immediately turned into a worried old mother, chattering on and on for a long time.

Li Shuyao felt dizzy after hearing this. It felt like when she was a freshman in college and was dragged by the counselor to attend a two-hour class meeting.

She couldn't even find a point to interrupt!

Li Shuyao's eyes were dull, losing their proud brilliance, and her fingers rustled as she began to pick at the patterns on the cushion.

While scratching, he silently counted how many words Qingyao said.

When Guo Luoluo Qingyao finally stopped, Li Shuyao's face was dull and wooden, as if she had lost all worldly desires.

She actually wanted to give Qingyao a spoiler - in eight months at the latest, Wu Yalianchu would be promoted from a palace maid to a constant, and would move to the harem to be Qingyao's colleague!

So the person who should stay away from the Wuya clan the most is actually Qingyao herself, okay? !

After Guo Luoluo, Tang Monk, Nagging, and Qingyao kept on nagging for about a quarter of an hour, it was gradually getting dark outside.

Lingluo went back to the room to wash up and came back again, bringing back an oral order from the imperial study in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, ordering Guo Luoluo Qingyao to accompany the emperor.

Li Shuyao had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye. She stood at the door of the courtyard with Guo Luoluo Qingyao and said goodbye reluctantly. The two delicate and beautiful faces showed the same worried expression.

Li Shuyao was worried that Qingyao could not safely guard against the poison and harm surging from the surrounding room.

Guo Luoluo Qingyao was worried that with Li Shuyao's silly personality, she would be manipulated by Wu Yalianchu again not long after returning.

When she thought of this, Guo Luoluo Qingyao's heart felt as if it was roasted by fire, with endless sorrow in the burning pain.

As a result, when she was walking on the road to the imperial study, a bold and risky plan suddenly came to her mind!
