Chapter 273 Eating Chili

Shuhong and Qinglu watched the emperor walk away with an expressionless face. When they entered the room, they saw that their concubine's mouth was a little red and swollen. How could they not understand?

As a palace lady, you should not look at things that you shouldn’t look at, and you should not ask things that you shouldn’t ask.

The two men just pretended to be blind and served as usual.

But they are blind, but little Li Sheng is not blind.

Little Tuanzi pointed at Si Linglong seriously and said in a baby voice,

"Linglong, with a red mouth."

The moment Xiao Li Sheng finished speaking, the breathing sounds in the room stopped for a moment.

Shuhong was relatively calm, but Qinglu was anxiously trying to use his mind to make the boy take back his words.

As for Si Linglong, the person involved, her ears turned red almost visibly, as if they were red-hot iron.

[I'm the one being taken advantage of! Why am I so ashamed...]

Although she was grumbling in her heart, Si Linglong refused to show it on her face. She replied to her seriously and nonchalantly, "Because I just ate the chili peppers."

Little Li Sheng had never eaten chili peppers before, so he was a little curious. "Is chili pepper delicious?"

This question...

Si Linglong really didn't know how to answer.

They were seriously discussing whether the food was delicious or not. No matter how hard Si Linglong tried to pretend to be strong, the blush at her ears inevitably spread to her cheeks.

Seeing the person involved was like this, Shuhong and Qinglu, who heard the deceptive tone in her words, lowered their heads in shame.

Little Li Sheng sensitively noticed that the emotions of the three people in the room had changed subtly. He looked at the two of them, then at Si Linglong, not understanding what was wrong with his question.

Si Linglong met the child's ignorant and inquiring gaze, and after a long while, she answered her in a strong voice,

"It's not tasty. Children can't eat it. Don't ask."

Little Li Sheng was a little disappointed at once. After yesterday, she had discovered a lot of delicious things that she had never heard of before.

I didn’t expect that not only do humans have a lot of delicious food, but these delicious foods also have age restrictions.

Seeing the disappointment on little Li Sheng's face, Si Linglong was afraid that she would continue to ask questions, so she quickly made the excuse that she was tired and needed to take a rest and sent everyone away.

[From now on, I can’t look directly at the thought of eating chili peppers. ]

[It’s all that dog Helian Yue’s fault! ]

【Ugh.】

…

Si Linglong was so disturbed by Helian Yue that she forgot about the unpleasantness with Bai Qianqian for a moment. However, Bai Qianqian's face turned pale as she looked at Mingyue, who was sent back with both hands almost broken.

It was just twenty strokes of the stick, and normally she could still serve after being beaten, but the emperor just killed her with one move.

This is because he can't wait to help Si Linglong.

Bai Qianqian was so angry that she laughed, laughing at her own pathetic behavior.

Although entering the palace was not her wish, she was determined to be his concubine. However, he was cold and indifferent. Although the Bai family showed her many favors on the surface, they never showed her favor.

That's why she secretly continued her relationship with the prince, and Bai Qianqian didn't think she was wrong.

Even if there is a mistake, it is Helian Yue who is wrong!

If he had always treated everyone in the harem like this, it would have been fine, but he suddenly and blatantly favored Si Linglong, a woman of humble origin.

Bai Qianqian didn't want to admit that she was jealous, but she clearly felt the jealousy in her heart, especially after what happened today, the prince didn't even send anyone to tell her a word.

It was just a trivial matter, but it made Bai Qianqian clearly aware of her current situation.

Asking someone to take good care of Mingyue to recover from her injuries, Bai Qianqian was silent for a while and called Ziyue over.

"Do you know what cats like?"

Zi Yue thought of the cat that the Queen Mother kept, and thought that her own queen was going to start with the cat to please the Queen Mother, so she said,

"I heard that cats like the smell of mustard. If you get some mustard on your body, the cat will be more willing to get close to you. Although it is winter now, you should be able to find mustard."

"Then go and find some mustard." Bai Qianqian said, "Tomorrow I will go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Before that, try to use the smell to lure the cat out of the Queen Mother's room."

Zi Yue was about to agree, but when she heard the last words, she was stunned for a moment.

Lead, lead out? ?

Isn't it... about letting the cat get close to you?

As if seeing the doubt on Zi Yue's face, Bai Qianqian said quietly,

"If I just show my affection, the Queen Mother may not value me."

Since I'm going to do it, I naturally have to call her Queen Mother and leave a deep impression on her.
