Although Concubine Li was under house arrest, the Emperor did not enforce the rule so strictly. The house arrest only prohibited her and those close to her, while the rest of the people could still come and go freely.
Just don't do it too often.
For example, the palace maid just now was just a person who swept the courtyard. Concubine Li took a fancy to her identity and assigned her this task.
Isn't it just a matter of catching a baby who is a little over one year old in the palace? What's so difficult about that?
Being brought to the front yard, Chu Xiaoxiao was still holding a bottle in her mouth, sucking on it with a "slurp". Looking at the colorful flowers in the yard,
The milk in the milk jug was almost gone, and she could no longer drink it in gulps, so she could only pick it up and pour it into her mouth little by little. There were still a lot of snacks in the small cloth bag she was carrying, and if she finished all of them, she would eat the things in the Qiankun bag.
She also hides many modern snacks in her Qiankun bag. There are all kinds of them, which are delicious and fragrant.
But the portion was not much, and one portion was less, so she was reluctant to eat it and wanted to keep it.
The old man asked her to stay here and live for at least a few decades. Now that she has finished eating, what will she eat in the future?
The quantity is limited and you can't refill it endlessly, so you can only be hard-hearted and not look at what's inside.
The maid brought her to the gate of Concubine Li's palace, and a senior maid led her in. Chu Xiaoxiao looked left and right, full of curiosity.
The senior palace maid felt contempt for the baby, not understanding what the silly baby was looking at. He was not afraid of the place and kept drinking milk.
Her mother-in-law is not someone who is easy to talk to. No matter who it is, they will be taught a lesson when they get here.
Naituanzi didn't care what the head maid thought. She was just curious about the bonsai in Concubine Li's palace. They were well taken care of and every pot was growing well.
The leaves on the bonsai moved without wind, as if they were saying hello to her. After she finished drinking the milk, she shook the bottle in her hand a few times, but couldn't pour out a drop, so she had no choice but to put it down.
She took out a small snack from the small cloth bag and ate it. It was a small biscuit made by her mother. It was fragrant, crispy and sweet. She liked it very much.
"Sister! I have brought the person back. Please send him to the Queen!"
The head maid glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao and waved at her unhappily: "Come in with me, the queen is waiting to see you."
The little girl looked back at the little palace maid who had carried her here, then looked at the big palace maid in front of her, a smile brightened in her big watery eyes.
With a biscuit in his mouth, his cheeks bulging, he climbed the stairs laboriously with his short legs.
The senior maid was even more contemptuous and mocked Chu Xiaoxiao in front of her: "Are you a fool? How can you still laugh at this hour? How can you still eat? Don't you know where this place is?"
Chu Xiaoxiao still picked up the biscuit and took a bite, an innocent smile on her face. She raised the biscuit covered with saliva in her hand and handed it to the head palace maid.
“Angry! Angry!”
"Eh!" The maid showed a disgusted expression, "It's dirty, I won't eat it, you eat it yourself!"
Chu Xiaoxiao smiled widely, retracted her hand, and took another bite.
[Ahaha! The cookies made by mom are delicious. Xiaoxiao likes them.]
Following the maid into the palace gate, there was a beautiful woman teaching a five or six-year-old boy to write. When she saw them come in, she suddenly shouted, "Kneel down!"
The head palace maid stepped aside, and Chu Xiaoxiao stood there stupidly, with no intention of kneeling.
[Humph! If she doesn't kneel when she sees the emperor, why should she kneel when she sees you? Concubine Li! Isn't she just Prince Duan's mistress? The emperor is a fool, why does he keep such a woman? To harm me?]
The emperor in the imperial study sneezed violently and thought, "Is it the little ancestor who is scolding me?"
I'm sorry! My dear little ancestor! Prince Duan knew that his armory was taken away by your father, and he wanted to use you to threaten your father? I don't want innocent soldiers to die or be injured in the civil strife, so I adopted the strategy of nibbling away at them bit by bit.
As long as we catch Prince Duan, this matter will basically be a success. My dear! You are here to save Dongsheng, so you should be able to bear this little grievance! You have great magical powers, so even if Prince Duan catches you, he can't do anything to you, right?
Chu Xiaoxiao: “…”
Damn it! If I don’t have supernatural powers, what other choices do I have? They’ve already brought me into Concubine Li’s palace, what else can I say?
“Kneel down!”
Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiao was still eating biscuits and was totally indifferent to what she said, Concubine Li became very angry. She glared at her fiercely and shouted at her.
Naituanzi looked at her with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't hear Concubine Li's ghostly roar, and didn't know what she was saying.
Concubine Li was really about to die of anger. Prince Duan's letter told her that this little baby born in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion was very special and was the apple of the eye of the Chu family in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
As long as he holds her in his hands, he can control the Chu family at will.
She tried her best to bring the person here, but she didn't expect him to be so rude and didn't even know how to greet her when he saw her.
No matter how many times she called him, he was like a deaf person and couldn't hear her. It was really hateful. Didn't he take her, the imperial concubine, seriously?
Concubine Li felt that she was offended. She slammed the table fiercely and pointed at Chu Xiaoxiao: "Kneel down!"
When the little girl saw that she was being mean to him, his expression suddenly changed. He stuffed all the biscuits in his hand into his mouth, patted his chubby little hands, raised his fleshy little finger, pointed at her and yelled at her, imitating Concubine Li.
“Kneel down!”
The biscuit crumbs spurted out of his mouth and splashed onto the ground. He looked so fierce, like a kitten showing its claws. But the sound was too soft and lacked any momentum.
Concubine Li was so angry that she was shaking all over. It was the first time that a baby dared to challenge her. Zhou Liyan had been in the harem for many years and had always been the emperor's favorite concubine, otherwise she would not have been named a concubine.
Before she was confined, even the Queen had to be courteous to her, and almost no one dared to provoke her. When the Queen Mother fell, she fell too.
But it doesn’t matter, Prince Duan will be back soon, and as long as things go well, this palace will still be hers.
But she didn't expect to be ordered around by a baby today, and she really couldn't stand it.
Her face darkened, and she immediately shouted to her chief maid, "Bring something here."
The head maid understood what he meant and immediately went to the inner hall to bring out a tray. Chu Xiaoxiao took a look and then narrowed her eyes slightly.
On the tray were several tools, a box of needles, a dagger no longer than a finger, and a small pair of scissors.
[Humph! Is she trying to use the palace's tricks against me? Unfortunately, you made a wrong calculation. ]
The head palace maid placed the tray next to Concubine Li, said nothing, stepped aside, and looked at Chu Xiaoxiao quietly with a sarcastic smile on her face.
This little fool will soon realize the Imperial Concubine's methods. Let's see if she dares to be so arrogant again.
Concubine Li picked up a needle, walked to Chu Xiaoxiao, and poked her hard at the hand that was pointing at her.
