Chapter 408: Treat others in their own way
Shen Chu glanced at the flower in Shuiyao's hand. It was the same variety as the flowers in the hands of the nannies yesterday. The poisonous insects were hidden in the petals, making it difficult for others to find them.
The wet nurses never thought that anyone would make a fuss about the flowers.
Shen Chu slightly let go of Susu's hand, got off the couch, walked slowly to Shuiyao, and looked at the delicate flowers in her hand. They were beautiful, but unfortunately they were poisonous.
"The flowers are beautiful, no wonder the babies like them so much."
Shui Yao introduced with a smile on her face: "The Crown Princess does not know that this flower is a seed brought by Xue Yue. It is only found in Qimeng Palace, but it is a precious species."
"No wonder I haven't seen it before. It turns out they are flowers from Xueyue Kingdom." Shen Chuwei stretched out her hand to take the flowers from Shuiyao's hand, "The flowers are very beautiful. I accepted them for the babies. Could you please Shuiyao to bring them to Concubine Xue Yao?" In short, thank you very much for the flowers.”
"The Crown Princess is so polite. The most important thing is that the babies like it." Shuiyao pointed to another bouquet of flowers and said, "This is specially given to the Crown Princess for appreciation."
Shen Chuwei looked at the unusually beautiful flowers in Shuiyao's arms. They were as red as blood, a bit redder than roses.
"Really? Concubine Xue is so thoughtful."
"Then I'll accept it without mercy." Shen Chuwei said, taking the last bouquet of flowers from Shuiyao's hand.
When Shuiyao came to Hehuan Hall, Chunxi also went to Qimeng Hall holding a pot of flowers.
The little palace maid came in and reported: "My lord, the spring joy of Hehuan Palace is here."
Concubine Xue frowned when she heard Chunxi from Hehuan Palace coming, "What is she here for?"
The little palace maid replied: "I'm here to give you something."
Concubine Xue frowned, giving something? Giving her something for no reason is definitely not good.
"Let her in."
"Here." After the little palace maid left, she led Chun Xi in.
This is the second time Chunxi has entered Qimeng Palace, the first time was last year.
Chun Xi stepped forward and said, "Concubine Xue, my master heard yesterday that Concubine Xue would send flowers to Hehuan Hall today. As a courtesy, he asked his servant to bring Concubine Xue a pot of flowers."
Concubine Xue glanced at the flower in her arms. It was a very yellow flower. What she gave was a very precious flower, but the Crown Princess actually gave back a wild flower that no one wanted?
The dignified princess not only has no taste but also has no vision.
"Thank you Crown Princess for me." She looked away and continued to drink tea.
Chunxi was not angry even after being ignored. She smiled and asked, "How long has it been since Concubine Xue has been in the palace?"
Concubine Xue frowned when she saw Chunxi still not leaving, "It's been less than two years since you entered the palace, what's wrong?"
Chun Xi's face suddenly turned cold, "Concubine Xue has been in the palace for so long. Don't you know that people with higher status than you need to personally accept the gifts given to you? What's more, if it is a gift from the Crown Princess, Concubine Xue not only needs Thank you for picking it up in person.”
In the last sentence, Chunxi's specially emphasized tone was quite like that of an old nun in the palace.
Concubine Xue felt dissatisfied when she heard this, but there were rules in the palace, so she thought that her majestic princess didn't understand etiquette.
Concubine Xue put down the tea cup, stood up reluctantly, and took the flower pot from Chun Xi. She smelled an unpleasant smell as soon as she got closer, and she frowned.
"Thank you, Crown Princess, for the reward." He cursed in his heart, and the wretched servant quickly got out of here!
Chunxi seemed to have guessed what Concubine Xue was thinking. Looking at her frown, she asked with a serious face: "Concubine Xue doesn't seem to like the gift from my master."
Concubine Xue held her breath. In order to make Chunxi leave quickly, she forced a smile: "I like it. How can I not like this gift from the Crown Princess?"
Chunxi nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."
Concubine Xue didn't leave even after seeing Chunxi, she was already cursing her mother in her heart, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Chunxi saw that Concubine Xue was suppressing her blush, and then continued: "This flower is very precious. Only Hehuan Palace has it. The princess spent a lot of energy and time to cultivate it. The flowers are very delicate. Concubine Xue's forehead You must remember to sprinkle an appropriate amount of water every morning, and then put it under the sun to absorb enough sunlight. If you are not careful, the flowers will wither. "
Concubine Xue's face turned red, and she finally couldn't hold back her breath and almost fainted.
When Chunxi saw Concubine Xue's expression of almost fainting, she couldn't help but laugh, and then she held it back.
"Concubine Xue, please remember, this servant will go back to her life soon." Chunxi turned around, smiled, and walked out with cheerful steps.
As soon as Chunxi left, Concubine Xue immediately threw the flowerpot in her arms and said with a look of disgust: "It stinks so much, why are you so precious? I don't know where I dug the wildflowers, so throw them away."
The little palace maid shivered as she looked at the broken flowerpot on the ground, "My lord, this is a reward from the Crown Princess..."
Concubine Xue glared at the little palace maid, "I told you to throw it away, where is the nonsense?"
"Slave, just take it and throw it away." The little palace maid didn't dare to speak anymore. She knelt on the ground, collected the broken flower pots and flowers, and threw them into the back garden.
Concubine Xue lowered her head and smelled the smell on her body. She still felt it was very smelly. "Prepare hot water. I want to take a bath. I'm so worried."
The maids quickly prepared hot water for Concubine Xue to take a bath.
Concubine Xue felt that they were not as comfortable as Shuiyao's service, so she sent them away together.
After the maids exited, Concubine Xue lay in the tub. She didn't sleep well last night, so she was a little drowsy.
At this time, dozens of snakes were approaching the window at an alarming speed, crawling in from the window sill, and looking inside with their little heads raised. They all seemed to have a common goal, which was the things in the bathtub.
After looking around for a while, the snakes began to crawl down from the windowsill, as if being pulled by some force, and crawled all the way to the tub.
For snakes, barrels cannot stop them from moving forward.
I saw them climbing up at an obvious speed.
Concubine Xue, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, didn't know that dozens of snakes were approaching her. One of them crawled the fastest. It climbed all the way to Concubine Xue's neck and circled around her neck. After completing the circle, Circle, the snake raised its head and spit out the snake letter towards Concubine Xue.
The remaining snakes also crawled into the tub one after another.
Concubine Xue felt it was difficult to breathe. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a snake spitting out snake seeds at her.
Her eyes widened, her shoulders shook with fear, and she screamed: "Ah!!!"
Concubine Xue rolled out of the tub while crawling. She was so frightened that her legs became weak and she fell to the ground.
At this time, several slower snakes had not yet climbed onto the tub. When they saw Concubine Xue falling to the ground, they crawled towards her one after another.
Concubine Xue had been pampered since she was a child, and her skin was very delicate. After such a fall, her body was covered with bruises.
She raised her head and saw several snakes spitting snake seeds at her.
"Ah!!!" Concubine Xue was so frightened that she rolled over and crawled out.
The maid outside the door heard the screams and hurriedly pushed the door open and saw Concubine Xue lying on the ground wet and miserable.
At the same time, Hehuan Hall
Shui Yao saw Shen Chuwei accept the flower and blessed his body, "That slave has returned to his life."
Shen Chuwei stopped Shuiyao who was about to leave, "Wait a minute."
Shui Yao stopped, turned to look at Shen Chuwei, and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else wrong with the Crown Princess?"
Shen Chu smiled slightly: "Of course, I heard from the old man that the more beautiful the flowers, the easier it is to attract bees and butterflies, as well as some small bugs. You see the flowers are so beautiful, what if there are bugs? You help me first Can I catch the bugs?”
Shuiyao was afraid that Shen Chuwei would find little bugs in the petals, so she hurriedly explained: "Princess, this is a flower picked by my servant. When I came here, I rinsed it with water and checked carefully. There are no bugs. Princess, don't worry. "
"So you've already checked it." Shen Chuwei confirmed again and again: "Are you sure there are no bugs?"
Shui Yao promised: "No, Crown Princess, don't worry."
Shen Chu smiled slightly: "I believe you."
Shui Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That slave has gone back to resume his life."
Shen Chuwei kept the same smile as before: "Wait a moment."
Shui Yao looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "Is there anything else you want to tell the Crown Princess?"
Shen Chu said softly: "Of course, you just stand still and watch."
Doubt flashed in Shuiyao's eyes.
Shen Chuwei brought the flowers to the low table, which had been covered with a white cloth. She placed the flowers on the white cloth.
Turning around, he picked up the small kettle and slowly sprinkled water on the flowers.
Shui Yao looked at Shen Chuwei's behavior with confusion and couldn't help but remind her: "Princess, this slave has already sprinkled water to keep it fresh after picking it. There is no need to sprinkle water."
"That's different." Shen Chuwei raised the kettle in his hand and said with a smile, "This is fairy water, it can make flowers show their original shape."
"Ah?" Shuiyao looked confused.
Shen Chuwei withdrew his gaze and continued to sprinkle water.
After sprinkling the appropriate amount, Shen Chuwei put the kettle aside, picked up the prepared glass bottle and placed it on the low table.
After a while, I saw several small black bugs crawling out of the petals, and then crawled into the glass bottle one after another.
Shuiyao was shocked at first when she saw this scene, and then her face turned pale with fear.
Shen Chu turned slightly to look at Shui Yao, tilted his head and looked at her, "Didn't you say there are no bugs? Then where did you get these black and poisonous bugs?"
Shuiyao's legs softened and she knelt on the ground, forcing herself to explain: "Princess, I don't know, but it may be the bugs in the petals, which should be non-toxic."
Shen Chu stared at her slightly, "But you just said that you washed it with water and checked that there were no bugs. Do you think I am a three-year-old child who is so easy to fool?"
"Princess, I didn't fool you, and I don't know what happened." Shuiyao denied it, as long as she didn't admit it, she didn't see the poisonous bug she released anyway.
Xiao Jinyan walked in from the outside and glanced coldly at Shui Yao who was kneeling on the ground, "At this time, do you still dare to quibble?"
Shuiyao heard Xiao Jinyan's voice, she crawled around and saluted, "Your Highness, I really don't know. I always send flowers to the Crown Princess according to Your Highness's instructions, but the Crown Princess insists on saying that I put insects in the petals. There are bugs in them, and they are non-toxic, so you are wrong."
Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "Since you think insects are not poisonous, I will give you a chance."
Shui Yao nodded happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan ordered in a cold voice: "Someone, put these non-toxic bugs on Shuiyao and let her personally verify whether the bugs are poisonous or non-poisonous."
