Chapter 11: Attracting bees and butterflies
[Hey, the sun is rising from the west today. The tyrant is in a good mood. He should be easier to serve than yesterday.]
Hearing the voice, Xiao Jingfan looked up and saw that it was indeed the bold woman.
Chu Liuzheng lowered his head slightly and placed the tea on the tray on the desk. Just as he was about to return to the tea room to get more tea, Xiao Jingfan suddenly tapped the table with his fingers.
The gesture of changing tea.
Chu Liuzheng was speechless.
[I asked you to change the tea without even opening the lid. Does the tyrant have X-ray vision?]
[I take back what I said before. The tyrant is as difficult to serve as ever!]
No matter how much he complained in his heart, Chu Liuzheng still obediently put the teacup back on the tray and returned to the tea room to make new tea.
This went on for three times, and when the fourth round of tea was served, everyone felt something was wrong.
The tea lid hasn't even been opened yet and you're asking for it to be changed. Is Your Majesty deliberately trying to make things difficult for the palace maid who served the tea?
But...if you are not satisfied with the service of this palace maid, just change her. Why bother with all this trouble?
Only Zhang Daxueshi and Meng Shangshu, two people who believed they knew the inside story, exchanged glances.
His Majesty was not dissatisfied with the service of the palace maid at all. He was just deliberately teasing the little palace maid.
Your Majesty is young after all, and he still likes the trick of pulling the hair of a girl he likes to attract her attention.
Tsk tsk, I guess it won’t be long before this little palace maid will be taken into the harem by His Majesty, right?
This little palace maid was so lucky to have risen from a palace maid to become the emperor's woman overnight.
If Chu Liuzheng could hear what these two people were thinking, he would spit in their faces.
Do you want this blessing?!
[Tyrant must have taken the wrong medicine today! If you don't want to drink tea, please stop messing with me. My legs have become thinner from running around!]
Chu Liuzheng resisted the urge to pour the whole cup of tea on Xiao Jingfan's face, and placed the blue and white teacup on the dragon table for the fifth time.
[The tea has been changed, and the teacups have been changed too. They are all the tyrant's favorites. Shouldn't there be any problems this time?]
Chu Liuzheng stared at Xiao Jingfan's slender jade-like fingers, threatening those two beautiful fingers with his eyes.
"Try to knock me again! If you do...if you do, I'll spit in your tea!"
Xiao Jingfan didn't knock, not because he had a change of heart, but because he had talked too much and was thirsty.
But spitting?
He looked at the tea in his hand suspiciously. Could there be saliva in this cup?
The tea is slightly white, clear and transparent, and it doesn't look like it.
"A reward for you."
Just in case, Xiao Jingfan pushed the whole cup of tea to the side of the desk and signaled Chu Liuzheng to drink it immediately.
Chu Liuzheng: “?”
[The tyrant's brain is indeed flawed!!]
The ministers who were discussing the matter pretended that they saw nothing, but were actually secretly watching the two of them.
The ears stood up higher and higher.
Those who are unaware of the situation are thinking: Has His Majesty taken a fancy to this little palace maid?
The two people who knew the situation were thinking: Ah, His Majesty really can’t help it! He is still too young!
Zhou Yuande thought: His Majesty loves this set of blue and white teacups the most. Even the Empress and Consort Rong never used them, yet he gave them to a palace maid. He was afraid he would have to treat this Miss Liu Zheng with even more respect in the future.
Cuiyun looked at Chu Liuzheng with envy.
It would be great if Your Majesty could treat her like he treats Miss Liu Zheng. She is willing to run errands for Your Majesty!
"Why don't you drink it?" Xiao Jingfan became more and more suspicious that the woman had spit in the tea, and even his eyes turned cold.
Just drink it!
Chu Liuzheng picked up the teacup, not caring that it was a little hot, and took a big sip.
The tea has a rich aroma, tastes mellow on the palate, and has a sweet aftertaste after drinking. It's delicious!
Chu Liuzheng was thirsty after running back and forth, so he buried his head and gulped down the whole cup of tea, chewing two pieces of tea leaves and eating them.
[Hey, this is imperial tea, you can't buy it anywhere else. I'm enjoying the tyrant's blessing for once!]
The good tea diluted some of the bad mood. Chu Liuzheng stood respectfully, waiting for the tyrant's instructions.
Xiao Jingfan's face looked a little grumpy.
She didn't even spit. What a bargain this woman got!
However, he no longer had the mood to continue to torment Chu Liuzheng, so he waved his hand and asked her to make another cup of tea.
Chu Liuzheng went there obediently, thinking that the tyrant would continue to make trouble, but he didn't expect that the tyrant took the tea, just lowered his eyes to take a look and drank it, without continuing the tea-changing game.
【Huh~ This madness is finally over.】
She stepped back and stood beside Cuiyun, keeping an eye on the tyrant and his ministers while they drank tea, ready to add water at any time.
Cuiyun reached out and gently tugged at her sleeve, whispering, "Sister, you must be tired just now. You can rest against the wall first. I'll add some water."
Chu Liuzheng looked at her and saw that every time her eyes swept over Xiao Jingfan, there was a mixture of desire and shame in her eyes. He immediately had a bad guess in his mind.
No way, no way, even Eunuch Zhou couldn’t persuade her personally, is the girl so stubborn?
Is she going to change roommates again?
She spent so much time teaching me!
No! !
[Why is the tyrant so good-looking? He attracts bees and butterflies every day and only seduces young girls!]
Xiao Jingfan:?
He attracts bees and butterflies?
"Add water."
Cuiyun suppressed her excitement and was about to go over with the small copper kettle in her hand, but unexpectedly Xiao Jingfan raised his eyes and his gaze fell directly on Chu Liuzheng who was half leaning against the wall and fishing.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Xiao Jingfan: We still have to find something for this woman to do, so that she won’t talk nonsense when she is idle.
Cuiyun handed the small copper pot to Chu Liuzheng with a resentful look, and Chu Liuzheng looked back at her with an even more resentful look.
Sister, it's not that I want to snatch it from you, I just don't dare to disobey your order! Really, I don't want to serve a tyrant at all!
With great reluctance, Chu Liuzheng picked up the small copper kettle and added water to the teacup. Just as she was about to go back to continue fishing, Xiao Jingfan asked her to stay and grind ink.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[One person works two jobs, pay more, bastard! ]
The corners of Xiao Jingfan's lips curled up slightly.
As long as the woman is unhappy, he is happy.
All the ministers pretended to be blind, suppressed the urge to gossip, and continued to discuss business.
Grinding ink is a technical job as well as a mechanical job. Chu Liuzheng didn't sleep well last night, and he couldn't help yawning as he kept grinding the ink.
Yawning in front of the emperor is considered a misdemeanor and the person will be dragged out and beaten with a stick.
Chu Liuzheng forced himself to hold back a yawn, his eyes moist and his almond-shaped eyes misty.
[No, I'll start yawning if I keep going like this. I need to divert my attention and just gossip.]
After opening the system, Chu Liuzheng began to look through the latest gossip.
Wen Ji thought the courtesan at Wanfanglou was prettier than the one at Chunmanyuan, but Meng Haojun disagreed. The two brawled in the Shuntian Prefecture jail, and Wen Ji knocked out two of Meng Haojun's front teeth.
[Frog Fun! My two front teeth are gone, so I can't even blow out candles, right?]
[Wait, how did these two second-generation rich kids, one with the protection of his father, the Minister of Revenue, and the other with his brother, the Minister of Personnel, end up in Shuntian Prefecture Prison? Could it be that the two ministers suddenly had a change of heart?]
[Oh, was he captured by the Jinwu Guards commander, or was he captured overnight on the tyrant's orders?]
[I was saying, how could the tyrant not know about the immoral deeds of these two second-generation rich kids? Isn't this just a personal revenge?]
