Chapter 197 Fire
Shen Ruyu sent something that looked very much like a Rubik's Cube. If someone had never seen it, it would indeed be considered rare, but Lin Baoer didn't feel anything.
But on the surface, she still thanked Shen Ruyu obediently.
However, enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. In the eyes of the queen, Shen Ruyu's move was a slap in her face.
She sent ordinary treasures, but Shen Ruyu sent something that suited the taste of children, and emphasized that it was a gift from His Majesty. Isn't this a blatant demonstration to her?
"It seems that His Majesty has given my sister a lot of things. Any one of them can make a child happy." The queen smiled.
"What are you talking about, sister?" Shen Ruyu said flatteringly, "Your Majesty has always treated all concubines equally. I just happened to be favored by your Majesty for a period of time. And this is not something I just took out and gave to the fourth lady. I spent a whole night picking it."
"Knowing that the fourth lady would return to the palace, I prepared it early in the morning."
"Really?" The queen took a sip of tea and said coldly.
"Of course." Shen Ruyu smiled and smiled.
Seeing the two people start to argue with each other, Lin Baoer shrank aside and became a quail.
She didn't want to get involved in the affairs of these two people. She would rather be a transparent person.
But someone just didn't want her to get her wish.
"Why don't we ask the fourth lady which one she likes?" Shen Ruyu smiled innocently.
Lin Baoer cursed in her heart.
[Are you sick? Is Shen Ruyu looking for trouble? ! Isn't this a life-threatening question? ! 】
She complained in her heart to vent her anger, but pretended not to understand on the surface, "What?"
Shen Ruyu seemed not to let her go, and said: "Fourth Miss, do you like the one I gave you or the one the Queen gave you?"
The Queen wanted to stop her, but she hesitated when the words came to her mouth, and just waited quietly for Lin Baoer's answer.
Seeing this scene, Lin Baoer almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
These two people, none of them have good intentions.
They actually embarrassed a child, how shameless.
Qinglian was also secretly anxious. Seeing that Lin Baoer couldn't say anything, she hesitated and took a step forward to speak, "You two..."
"I like the gift from the Queen."
The childish voice interrupted Qinglian's voice. Everyone in the palace looked at the innocent child in surprise. They were shocked in their hearts. Did she really not understand or pretend not to understand? She said so blatantly which one she liked. Wasn't she afraid that the other one would lose face and resent her?
But Lin Baoer didn't care so much. She repeated it again, "Baoer likes the gift from the Queen."
Seeing Shen Ruyu's expression gradually solidified, Lin Baoer was secretly happy.
Although neither of them was a good person, compared to Shen Ruyu, the Queen treated her well and never thought of harming the Lin family.
So let Shen Ruyu lose face, since she was the one who started this farce anyway.
Compared to Shen Ruyu, the smile on the Queen's face was much more sincere. She asked in a gentle and persuasive voice, "Why?"
Lin Baoer remained calm, "Because the thing that Concubine Li sent was given to me by my third brother a long time ago. He often interacts with foreign trade merchants, and he knows all the rare things in the Western Regions. As long as he thinks I like it, he will bring it back."
"So in comparison, Baoer still likes the one that the Queen sent. Although I don't know what it's called, you can tell at a glance that it is very valuable and worth a lot of money."
The Queen laughed happily.
Shen Ruyu forced a twitch of her lips, "It seems that I didn't prepare enough. I didn't expect that the fourth lady had already played with this thing."
Lin Baoer nodded seriously, "Actually, Baoer likes valuable things. If Concubine Li sends a box of gold next time, Baoer will like it even more."
The people around laughed secretly, thinking that this child was too straightforward and didn't know how to save face for others.
Shen Ruyu smiled falsely and almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
It is said that children say nothing, and she couldn't argue with a child, so she could only swallow this stupid loss.
After sending these two big Buddhas away, Lin Baoer couldn't help laughing.
"You deserve it."
She hummed a song in a very good mood, sweeping away her previous low mood.
[It's quite interesting to do this occasionally, just as a spice of life. Qinglian was helpless, "
Fourth Miss, you don't give face to Concubine Li. If she goes to the emperor and says a few words, wouldn't it be..."
Lin Baoer said indifferently, "If she really goes to the emperor and tells him about this, she really doesn't care about her own face. She actually cares about what a child says. If it gets out, do you think she will still have the face?"
Qinglian glanced at the corner of her mouth and wiped her face.
Is this still a child? Obviously a veteran.
This day was dealt with like this. Because she had to sort out the things brought from the Lin Mansion, Qinglian was not on duty tonight.
Whenever others were on duty, Lin Baoer would always become quiet and play by herself.
"Fourth Miss, this is the ginseng soup for Yu Han, sent by the Empress." Cui Lu brought a bowl of ginseng soup over.
Lin Bao'er stared at the bowl of ginseng soup and felt a little conflicted, not knowing whether she should drink it or not. On
weekdays, when dining in Changqing Palace, Qinglian would test the poison with a silver needle in advance before letting her eat it. She would never eat anything that had been touched by other people, mainly for the sake of her own life. But now Qinglian is not here... Cui Lu seemed to have seen her hesitation, and took out a silver needle and put it in the soup, but there was no change after it came out. Not only that, she also called the person who sent the ginseng soup over. Lin Bao'er took a look and found that the person was the Empress's personal maid, so she was relieved. With so many people watching, the queen wouldn't be so brazen as to poison her, right? Thinking this way, Lin Baoer drank the ginseng soup in one gulp. The main reason was that she was a little greedy. The ginseng soup in the palace tasted really good, and it was okay as a midnight snack.
That night, when Lin Baoer woke up again, the entire Changqing Palace was already wrapped in thick smoke.
Smelling the thick smell of smoke in the air, Lin Baoer was stunned for a moment and quickly exchanged a bottle of water from the system mall. After wetting her coat, she covered her nose.
Her eyes widened and she climbed off the bed like a headless fly.
[What the hell? ! Am I dreaming? Why is Changqing Palace on fire? ! ! ]
[Is someone trying to harm me! ? ? ]
[Why did I wake up just now when there was such a big fire? ! ]
Behind the thick smoke was a raging fire, which reflected in Lin Baoer's eyes and made her heart chill.
It's over, I'm here for her.
