Chapter 267: What a Big Tea Pit
Bai Qianqian's gaze suddenly met his, but she saw that those eyes, which were once as charming as stars, now contained an indistinct calmness.
Bai Qianqian felt inexplicably guilty when his gaze swept over her.
She could do this to a child in private, but she didn't want her beloved to see her ruthless side. Only now did she finally feel a little regretful.
Why did you get so angry at that time and take action yourself?
Si Linglong was a little surprised to see Helian Yue and Helian Tuo coming together. She thought that she should switch back to the pampered concubine mode, but because of the "shouting" just now, she couldn't change her expression for a while, and she looked angry and entangled.
"We have seen the Emperor." The group bowed to Helian Yue and said to Helian Tuo, "We have seen the Prince of Li."
Helian Yue's face showed no emotion. His eyes scanned the two sides that were clearly in confrontation, as well as the two large boxes of preserved fruits on the side. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
Of course he knew what was going on.
Qinglu went to Lingshan and asked him to help go down the mountain to buy two large boxes of preserved fruits. Naturally, someone would report to him about such a big commotion over there with Si Linglong.
But he didn't expect that someone who usually could only pretend to be good would dare to challenge the position of concubine so openly. Did she finally have the confidence to be a favored concubine?
Helian Yue looked at Si Linglong with an inexplicable sense of relief in his eyes.
Bai Qianqian saw this and almost vomited blood.
She knew that she had no face in front of the emperor. If she got tangled up in this matter today, she would definitely get into trouble. She could only force a smile.
"It's just some small matter between sisters. I dare not disturb the emperor and the prince."
"It's a small matter?" Helian Yue looked at Si Linglong, "Is it?"
Si Linglong opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Bai Qianqian didn't dare to ask her to speak and spoke first.
"It's all because of the people in my courtyard. They didn't know that this child was adopted by Sister Lang. When they saw her stealing preserved fruits, they thought she was a thief and beat her up accidentally. No wonder Sister Lang got angry. It's not worth it..."
Bai Qianqian said as she yelled at the person beside her, "Mingyue! Come over and pay your respects!"
The palace maid called Mingyue was stunned at first, but the people who came out of the palace were basically ready to take the blame for their master at any time. They immediately stepped forward and knelt down in the direction of Xiao Lisheng, and then stretched out their hands and slapped themselves.
"Lang Guipin, this is all my fault. I am here to apologize to you and the young master. You can punish me in any way you want..."
Mingyue's slap was so crisp and loud that Si Linglong was dumbfounded. Little Li Sheng was even more frightened. He trembled and hid behind Si Linglong, his big dark eyes full of confusion.
Why did this person kneel down to her?
Why do you hit yourself?
Even though Si Linglong was stunned by her sudden action just now, she immediately understood what was going on, and she looked at Bai Qianqian with almost anger in her eyes.
【What a cunning human being! 】
[Li Sheng already said that you hit her with the cup! As soon as you saw the emperor coming, you immediately found someone to take the blame! It seems like I am bullying others by taking advantage of my power! ]
[It still has the aroma of tea! ]
Si Linglong was angry and was about to retort her, but Shu Hong who was standing beside her suddenly stepped forward, stood in front of Mingyue, and spoke directly.
"Sister Mingyue, don't talk nonsense. I just came to seek an explanation from Concubine Lian because I couldn't bear to see the child injured. I dare not punish anyone in front of Concubine Lian. Besides, the child is just adopted by our Concubine. I dare not accept the name of young master."
The only one who can be called a young master is the emperor's offspring, except for the young prince Xuesha who is tacitly approved by the emperor.
Even if her concubine was favored, it would be impossible for her to adopt a child without the permission of the emperor. This would be extremely disrespectful.
Shu Hong had been following Si Linglong for many days and knew that this lady was not sensitive to the little traps in these words. As a first-class maid beside the noble concubine, she naturally needed to remind her from time to time.
It was rare for Shu Hong, who was always concise, to say so much. Si Linglong finally reacted now. She really didn't pay attention to the word "young master" just now.
It turns out that this place called Mingyue is not just a tea shop, it’s also a tea pit!
This is a huge pit for her!
