Chapter 231 The World's Deliciousness
"Look at that mouth, it really knows how to talk." Madam Qin glanced at Madam Gong and said meaningfully, "I heard that during the arrest of the spy this time, one of the ladies was injured. I don't know which one it was. It's really unlucky."
Mrs. Gong's face changed, and she felt a sudden pain at the place where she was wounded by the arrow. The wound would take several months to heal, but she didn't want to be gossiped about by others. Others didn't know that Mrs. Qin was knowingly saying it and embarrassing her.
The Crown Princess took a sip of tea, her signature smile on her face, and after a moment she spoke softly, "Let's go. The lotus over there is more beautiful."
This time, Shen Heng walked behind Madam Qin and Madam Gong, and rose several ranks at once.
Achan wanted to follow behind her wife, but no matter how hard she squeezed, the two palace maids beside her refused to let her go up, so she had to follow behind with some grievance.
Naturally, Shen Heng also paid attention to the people behind her. These two palace maids were quite bold. She was respected by the Crown Princess, but they treated her personal maid like this. It was really strange. So while paying attention to what the people in front were saying, she also kept an eye on the people behind her.
The winding corridors on the lake are all equipped with railings, and there is a small dock at regular intervals for palace staff to clean the lake surface.
At this time, Liu Xinyue's voice came from not far away: "Sister-in-law of the Crown Prince, here are the Twin Lotuses, come quickly."
With that call, everyone's eyes were focused on the front.
Just as everyone was happily passing a pier, Chen Heng noticed that the palace maid behind her was approaching her. Out of vigilance, she slightly turned sideways and saw that the palace maid had already made a gesture to push her with both hands.
Their eyes met.
The palace maid quickly withdrew her hand, glanced around, and saw that everyone was only looking at the lotus in the lake, so she quickly walked away properly as if nothing had happened.
Chen Heng: "..." What's going on?
Every time the palace maid looked up, she would see Madam Xie looking at her strangely.
He raised his eyes four or five times, and it was still the same. Why was he staring at her like that? It was very strange. He thought that if he failed to complete the task ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his life would be over. He was at a loss for what to do.
I don't know how Madam Xie offended the vindictive Crown Prince.
Chen Heng had been wondering when she had offended the Crown Princess. The maidservant beside the Crown Princess actually wanted to push her into the river? She looked determined not to give up, but her method was too obvious.
This was to complete the mission, so as long as no one else saw it, it would be fine? After all, I could deny it later?
A group of people had already arrived at the pier where Liu Xinyue was. She was asking the palace maid to use bamboo to hook the lotus flowers over.
"Be careful." The Crown Princess warned.
Shen Heng consciously walked behind Madam Qin and Madam Gong, always trying to stay as far away from the pier as possible.
"Crown Princess, this is for you." Liu Xinyue handed the picked lotus to the Crown Princess.
"It's really beautiful." The Crown Princess admired it for a while, then handed it to the palace attendant beside her: "Please put it in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's study."
"yes."
The Crown Princess affectionately took Liu Xinyue's hand and walked forward while admiring the lotus.
Before they knew it, it was almost noon. Just as everyone was on the shore and Shen Heng was breathing a sigh of relief, a palace maid hurried in to report, "Crown Princess, the Emperor brought Consort Ming and several other adults here to enjoy the cool air. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here."
The Crown Princess was a little surprised.
