Chapter 408: Treat others in their own way



The wet nurses could never have imagined that someone would make a fuss about flowers.

Shen Chuwei loosened Susu's hand, got down from the couch, slowly walked to Shui Yao, and looked at the beautiful flower in her hand. It was beautiful, but unfortunately it was poisonous.

"The flowers are beautiful, no wonder the babies like them so much."

Shui Yao introduced with a smile: "Crown Princess, you don't know, this flower is the seed brought by Xueyue. It is only found in the Qimeng Palace, and it is a rare variety."

"No wonder I haven't seen it before. It turns out to be a flower from the Snow Moon Country." Shen Chuwei reached out and took the flower from Shui Yao's hand. "The flower is very beautiful. I accepted it for the babies. Please ask Shui Yao to tell Concubine Xue that I am very grateful for the flowers she sent."

"You are so polite, Princess. The most important thing is that the babies like it." Shui Yao pointed to another bouquet of flowers and said, "This is specially given to the Princess for her to enjoy."

Shen Chuwei looked at the unusually gorgeous flower in Shui Yao's arms. It was as red as blood and even redder than a rose.

"Really? Concubine Xue is so thoughtful."

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation." Shen Chuwei said as he took the last bouquet of flowers from Shui Yao's hand.

When Shuiyao came to Hehuan Palace, Chunxi also went to Qimeng Palace with a pot of flowers.

The little palace maid came in and reported: "My lady, Chunxi from the Hehuan Palace has arrived."

When Concubine Xue heard that Chunxi from Hehuan Palace had arrived, she frowned and asked, "What is she doing here?"

The little palace maid replied, "I came to deliver something."

Concubine Xue frowned. Send her something? Giving her something for no reason must be bad news.

"Let her in."

"Yes." After the little palace maid left, she led Chunxi in.

This was Chunxi's second time entering the Qimeng Palace, the first time being last year.

Chunxi stepped forward and bowed, "Concubine Xue, my master heard yesterday that Concubine Xue would send flowers to the Hehuan Palace today, so he asked me to send a pot of flowers to Concubine Xue."

Concubine Xue glanced at the flower in her arms. It was a yellowish flower. She gave a very precious flower, but the Crown Princess actually gave a wild flower that no one wanted in return? The Crown Princess had no taste and vision.

"Thank the Crown Princess for me." She looked away and continued drinking her tea.

Chunxi was not angry at being ignored. She asked with a smile, "How long has Concubine Xue been in the palace?"

Seeing Chunxi still not leaving, Concubine Xue frowned and said, "You have been in the palace for less than two years, what happened?"

Chunxi's face suddenly turned cold. "Concubine Xue has been in the palace for so long. Don't you know that you need to personally accept the gifts given to you by people of higher status than you? Moreover, it is a gift from the Crown Princess. Concubine Xue not only needs to accept it personally, but also needs to express gratitude."

Chunxi deliberately emphasized the tone of the last sentence, speaking in a manner quite like an old nanny in the palace.

Concubine Xue felt dissatisfied when she heard this, but according to the palace rules, if she told others about it, people would think that she, a princess, didn't know etiquette.

Concubine Xue put down the teacup, stood up reluctantly, and took the flowerpot from Chunxi. As soon as she approached, she smelled an unpleasant odor and frowned.

"Thank you, Princess Consort, for the reward." Cursing in her heart, "Get out of here, slut!"

Chunxi seemed to have guessed what Concubine Xue was thinking. Looking at her furrowed brows, he asked seriously, "Concubine Xue doesn't seem to like the gift my master gave her."

Concubine Xue held her breath, and in order to get Chunxi to leave quickly, she forced a smile and said, "I like it. How can I not like a gift from the Crown Princess?"

Chunxi nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."

When Concubine Xue saw that Chunxi didn't leave, she was already cursing in her heart and she could hardly hold it back any longer.

Chunxi saw Concubine Xue blushing, and then continued, "This flower is very precious. It is only in the Hehuan Palace. The Crown Princess spent a lot of energy and time to cultivate it. The flower is very delicate. Concubine Xue must remember to sprinkle an appropriate amount of water every morning and then place it under the sun to absorb the appropriate amount of sunlight. If you are not careful, the flower will wither."

Concubine Xue's face turned red, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore and took a breath, almost fainting from the stink.

Chunxi saw Concubine Xue's expression as if she was about to faint, and couldn't help laughing, but then she held it back.

"Concubine Xue, please remember this. I will go back and report right away." Chunxi turned around and smiled, then walked out with a cheerful step.

As soon as Chunxi left, Concubine Xue immediately threw away the flower pot in her arms and said with disgust, "It stinks. It's a treasure? I don't know where you dug these wild flowers. Throw them away quickly."

The little maid trembled as she looked at the broken flower pots on the ground, "My lady, this is a reward from the Crown Princess..."

Concubine Xue glared at the little maid, "Just throw it away when I told you to. Why are you talking nonsense?"

"I'll take it and throw it away right away." The little palace maid didn't dare to say anything else. She knelt on the ground, picked up the broken flowerpots and flowers, and threw them into the back garden.

Concubine Xue lowered her head and smelled the smell on her body. She still thought it was very smelly. "Prepare hot water. I want to take a bath. I am so worried."

The maids quickly prepared hot water and helped Concubine Xue take a bath.

Concubine Xue felt that they were not as comfortable as Shui Yao's service, so she sent them all away.

After the maids left, Concubine Xue lay in the bathtub. She didn't sleep well last night and felt a little drowsy.

At this time, dozens of snakes were approaching the window at an alarming speed, crawling in from the windowsill, raising their little heads to look inside. They all seemed to have a common goal, which was the things in the bathtub.

After looking for a while, the snakes began to crawl down from the windowsill, as if being pulled by some force, all the way to the bathtub.

For snakes, barrels cannot stop them from moving forward.

They were seen climbing up at an obvious speed.

The remaining snakes also crawled into the tub one after another.

Concubine Xue felt that she was having difficulty breathing. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a snake spitting out its tongue at her.

Her eyes widened, her shoulders trembled with fear, and she screamed: "Ah!!!"

Concubine Xue crawled out of the bathtub, her legs went weak from being so frightened that she fell to the ground.

At this time, several slower snakes had not yet climbed onto the bathtub. Seeing Concubine Xue fall to the ground, they all crawled towards her.

Concubine Xue had been spoiled since childhood, and her skin was very delicate. After this fall, her body was covered with bruises.

She looked up and saw several snakes spitting their tongues at her.

"Ah!!!" Concubine Xue was so frightened that she rolled and crawled out.

The maid outside the door heard the scream and hurriedly pushed the door open, only to see Concubine Xue lying on the ground, wet and in a miserable state.

At the same time, in Hehuan Palace, Shui Yao saw Shen Chuwei accept the flowers and bowed, "Then I will go back and report."

Shen Chuwei called out to Shui Yao who was about to leave, "Wait a moment."

Shui Yao stopped, turned to look at Shen Chuwei, and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else, Crown Princess?"

Shen Chuwei chuckled: "Of course there are. I heard from the old people that the more beautiful the flowers are, the more likely they are to attract bees and butterflies, as well as some small insects. You see the flowers are so beautiful, what if there are insects? Can you help me catch the insects first?"

Shui Yao was afraid that Shen Chuwei might find the bugs in the petals, so she hurriedly explained, "Crown Princess, these are flowers that I picked myself. I rinsed them with water when I came here, and I checked them carefully. There are no bugs. Don't worry, Crown Princess."

"So you've already checked it." Shen Chuwei confirmed again and again: "Are you sure there are no bugs?"

Shui Yao assured, "No, don't worry, Princess."

Shen Chu smiled slightly: "I believe you."

Shui Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will go back and report."

Shen Chuwei maintained the smile from before: "Wait a moment."

Shui Yao looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "Does the Crown Princess have anything else to tell you?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Of course there is, just stand still and watch."

There was a flash of doubt in Shui Yao's eyes.

Shen Chuwei took the flowers and came to the low table, which was covered with a white cloth. She placed the flowers on the white cloth.

He turned around, picked up the small kettle, and slowly sprinkled water on the flowers.

Shui Yao looked at Shen Chuwei's actions in confusion and couldn't help but remind her: "Crown Princess, after I picked them, I sprinkled water on them to keep them fresh. You don't need to sprinkle water on them anymore."

"That's different." Shen Chuwei raised the kettle in his hand and said with a smile: "This is magic water, it can make the flowers show their true form."

"Ah?" Shui Yao was confused.

Shen Chuwei withdrew her gaze and continued to sprinkle the water.

After pouring the right amount, Shen Chuwei put the kettle aside, picked up the glass bottle that she had prepared in advance and placed it on the low table.

After a while, several small black insects crawled out from the petals and then crawled into the glass bottle one after another.

When Shui Yao saw this scene, she was stunned at first, and then she turned pale with fear.

Shen Chuwei turned his head to look at Shui Yao, tilting his head to look at her, "Didn't you say there were no bugs? Then where did you get these black poisonous bugs?"

Shui Yao's legs went limp and she knelt on the ground, forcing herself to explain, "Crown Princess, I don't know. It could be the bugs in the petals themselves. They should be non-toxic."

Shen Chu glared at her. "But you just said you rinsed it with water and checked it to see if there were any bugs. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who can be fooled so easily?"

"Crown Princess, I did not fool you, and I don't know what happened." Shui Yao denied it outright. It would be fine as long as she didn't admit it. Anyway, no one saw the poisonous insects she released.

Xiao Jinyan walked in from outside and glanced coldly at Shui Yao who was kneeling on the ground, "At this time, you still dare to quibble?"

When Shui Yao heard Xiao Jinyan's voice, she crawled and turned around to salute, "Your Highness, I really don't know. I was delivering flowers to the Crown Princess as Your Highness ordered, but the Crown Princess insisted that I put bugs in the petals. There are bugs in the petals themselves, and they are not poisonous. I am innocent."

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "Since you think the bugs are not poisonous, I will give you a chance."

Shui Yao nodded happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, put these non-toxic bugs on Shui Yao, and let her personally verify whether the bugs are poisonous or not."
