Qingqing and Ningshuang couldn't help swallowing their saliva as they respectfully saw the Queen Mother off.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qing Qing and Ning Shuang who were still kneeling on the ground stupidly, and chuckled, "Okay, why are you still standing there stupidly? Get up quickly, everyone has left."

After being reminded by their master, Qingqing and Ningshuang came back to their senses and stood up. Unlike Qingqing, Ningshuang participated in the subsequent processing of her master. She swallowed her saliva and asked hopefully, "Princess, you gave these things to the Queen Mother and others. Have they been processed to perfection?"

"Maybe." Zong Zheng Xiaoting lazily leaned to the left in his original seat, blinked and looked at Qingqing, "I feel it's not perfect yet, I wonder how Qingqing will be after I process it."

Seeing her master's indifference, Ningshuang frowned slightly. She felt that her master was not so easy to deal with. She glanced at Qingqing, but saw Qingqing's eyes widened and she shook her head in fear, "Princess, Qingqing didn't do anything. After you fried it, Qingqing added some decorations because you wanted to use it in this glass banquet hall. Everything was done according to your instructions. You asked Qingqing to pack the rest in a delicate food box, and Qingqing had no choice but to obey. How dare you act on your own?"

The more Qingqing talked, the more she regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would have really processed it well. No, the princess knew her own personality. She didn't care about it. Isn't it what she wanted? She looked at Ningshuang and they both unconsciously looked at the princess who squinted her eyes and looked like a napping kitten. They were dumbfounded and said, "The princess wouldn't do it on purpose!"

"Haha, is it so obvious?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting stuck out her tongue, looking like an innocent and naive girl. No plan could be seen in her. However, Qingqing and Ningshuang were somewhat troubled. The more harmless the princess acted, the more malicious she seemed to be.

"Princess, aren't you clearly challenging the Queen Mother by doing this?" Qingqing's eyes turned red with anxiety. "Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"Do you think that if I don't send her a copy, people won't know about it?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked.

"At least there is no evidence." Qingqing was stunned.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting just smiled without saying anything. Looking at Ningshuang's expression, he saw that Ningshuang seemed to be thinking about something. Her brows were tightly locked on her pretty face.

"Ningshuang, what do you think?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but speak when she saw Ningshuang seemed to have some ideas. This maid was very thoughtful, which made her more curious.

"These things that maintain one's appearance will tempt any woman, let alone those in the deep palace. The more they can't get, the more they want it. Princess Yun Fei is vicious and proficient in medicine. I'm afraid she will secretly take some away. It must not be difficult to go back and check. Since her curiosity can't be suppressed, it's better to give it to them openly instead of waiting for others to take the initiative. Is this what the princess thinks?" Ningshuang pursed her lips and asked Zongzheng Xiaoting.

"Not bad." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded in approval.

Ningshuang heard this, but she didn't relax her frown. "But Princess, this will give the Queen Mother even more reason to kill you. Ningshuang doesn't understand. Even if the princess is so generous and deliberately gave these things to the Queen Mother, she can use the excuse that if she deliberately deceived the Queen Mother, she would not have given them away. But it is still not the best excuse to get out of this situation."

"Not bad." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes dimmed, "I just want to make a fuss, that's all."

"Why?" Qingqing and Ningshuang asked at the same time.

"I need to verify one thing." Zong Zheng Xiaoting just smiled mysteriously, but said no more, "By the way, the palace of the painted concubine is nearby. I think it's time to pay her a visit."

"At this time?" Qingqing frowned.

"That's right." Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows, "Take the food box I prepared for the Queen Mother and let's go."

"Yes!" Ningshuang and Qingqing looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

Zong Zheng Xiao Ting just smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes. Zhou Miao's words that day made her alert. Indeed, she, Zong Zheng Xiao Ting, did not understand these strange internal skills, but she was not so easily fooled. If even Zhou Miao could secretly spy on other people's conversations, then how could the spy sent by the emperor to follow him secretly be an easy target? Moreover, that day, after the empress dowager poisoned him, the emperor secretly visited Xianghe Palace at night, and then, the empress dowager secretly put the antidote in her medicine soup. All these made her doubt. Was it true that no one except him knew the content of the conversation as Situ Xun Xiao said? If not for this, the original plan to play a prank on the Queen Mother would have to change direction a little. Killing two birds with one stone is not something that others would scheme against, and she, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, is no pushover.

As he stepped out of Tianxue Palace, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes became colder.

Since Tianxue Palace and Tianfeng Palace are adjacent to each other, they are the closest to Xianghe Palace and Empress Palace. Also, because they are the most luxurious and close to the imperial palace, they always attract the prying eyes and envy of countless people. At this moment, he, who is in Tianxue Palace, will naturally not attract the hatred of these women in the harem. However, the Painted Concubine of Tianfeng Palace is naturally the target of everyone's criticism. Because of this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting will not choose to be sneaky.

Going to Tianfeng Palace openly with one's maidservant and carrying gifts in broad daylight is the true way to avoid suspicion.

As soon as he entered the Tianfeng Palace, he was as magnificent as the Tianxue Palace, which was astonishing. Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the various furnishings in the Tianfeng Palace and couldn't help shaking his head. He himself, as a princess and a distinguished guest, was already envied by others. As the new favorite in the harem, the painted concubine made the emperor stay in the Tianfeng Palace every night, so naturally she was resentful.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked in step by step, and couldn't help but worry about Mo Lian. The harem is dangerous, and this chess piece is often the most dangerous.

While he was thinking, Zong Zheng Xiaoting had already walked into the main hall.

"Meet the Painter Concubine." Zong Zheng Xiaoting glanced at the maids in the hall and bowed to the Painter Concubine.

"Princess, there is no need to be so polite." Princess Hua sat on the main seat, glanced at the maids around her, and smiled slowly, "Since entering the palace, I have not had the opportunity to meet the princess. I heard that the princess stayed in Tianxue Palace. I was thinking about finding time to meet the princess these days. After all, the princess took care of me and even gave me the jade pendant passed down from my family. I really miss you."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned slightly when he heard this, but when he saw the expression of the maid beside him, he couldn't help but curl his lips, "Isn't it? If it weren't for this jade pendant, I might not have chosen you instead of giving up your sister. What do you think, Madam Huafei, is it a good thing to continue the in-depth discussion in front of the servants?"

"You!" Concubine Hua frowned and snorted at the maid with disdain, "All of you, get out of here!"
