Chapter 167
In the summer, the clothes were light and thin, and the sword could not be hidden. He thought that maybe he thought too much, maybe the water and soil in the palace is to support people. With that in mind, he put away the knife and let them in.
The palace maid restored the food box to its original state, performed a palace ceremony very standardly, and walked into the door in small steps. The other woman followed behind her companion, her brows lowered, and she looked like she was keeping herself safe. After the door was closed, Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. She put the food box in Wang Yanqing's hand and said, "Girl, I'm watching here, you go and come back quickly."
Wang Yanqing nodded. She knew that the time was tight, so she didn't waste her time, and walked quickly to the room. The door was suddenly pushed open, and the people inside were startled and turned around quickly.
Standing at the door, Wang Yanqing said, "I am the maid of the Shang Palace Bureau, and I have been ordered to deliver meals to the two of you."
Hearing that it was the person delivering the meal, the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first relaxed, and then rubbed their hands a little embarrassedly: "It turned out to be a noble person in the palace... We can just eat something, how can we let you deliver it."
Wang Yanqing pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just a palace maid, you don't have to call me noble. Do you two want to eat now?"
The Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been hungry for a day, and they have long pressed their chests to their backs, and nodded hurriedly when they heard this. Mrs. Liu took the initiative to take the food box from Wang Yanqing's hand. Mrs. Liu was a little embarrassed and said, "My wife didn't expect to see people in the palace in this life. It's really beautiful like a New Year's picture. No, how can you look good in a New Year's picture? ...whoops, be careful!"
Daughter-in-law Liu came to pick up the food box. The two of them didn't know who was holding on to it. Wang Yanqing let go, but Daughter-in-law Liu didn't catch it. Daughter-in-law Liu subconsciously fished it out, but she didn't hold back. The food box fell to the ground with a bang, and the soup inside spilled on the ground.
Daughter-in-law Liu's face immediately turned red to her neck, and she quickly knelt down to pick up the food: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't catch it..."
"It doesn't matter." Wang Yanqing took the initiative to squat down with her skirt, and cleaned up the láng on the ground, "I'm not doing well. These meals fell on the ground and can't be eaten. I'll ask someone to give them another one later."
Mrs. Liu looked at the white rice on the ground, and said distressedly, "Why don't you send another portion, just stick it with a little soil, and you can eat it with a pat."
"How can this work?" Wang Yanqing said, "The ground is so dirty, how can I let the two of you enter? Wait a moment, the food will be delivered in a while."
Mrs. Liu hesitated to speak, and finally closed her mouth. In fact, she really thinks it's edible. If such good white rice gets a little soiled, it will be thrown away. It's a waste of things. But the people in the palace were particular about it, and Mrs. Liu didn't dare to say it, so she could only agree.
Wife Liu overturned the meal, feeling very guilty, she kept on kneeling on the ground to put away the broken pieces of porcelain, and wiped the vegetable soup. Wang Yanqing put the residue into the food box and closed the lid silently.
In fact, it's not the daughter-in-law Liu's fault for knocking over the food box, it was Wang Yanqing who let go on purpose, causing her to fail.
Surprise happened in an instant and was the hardest of all expressions to hide. Because accidents often represent danger, everyone will reveal their most instinctive self at that moment. When the food box suddenly fell, the Liu family's daughter-in-law was stunned for a while before going to fetch it. Hearing the sound of the porcelain bowl breaking, fear and guilt flashed across her face, and she quickly knelt down to pick up the scraps. Her movements are very quick, like someone who is used to doing housework, not like someone who practices martial arts.
Aunt Liu's expression of distress for food does not seem to be fake. When she was talking to Wang Yanqing, her eyes kept staring at the rice grains on the ground. When she heard Wang Yanqing was about to throw the food away, she pulled down her eyebrows, folded her eyelids, and pursed her lips. If you want to speak, you have to hold back.
If it's an assassin or Jian Xian, the first reaction to seeing something falling should be to be alert, and there should be no guilt. Seeing that the food was spilled, the Liu family's daughter-in-law immediately knelt down to clean up the mess and exposed the entire back in front of Wang Yanqing. When Wang Yanqing suddenly approached her, her muscles did not tighten.
Comprehensive performance, this is indeed a pair of rural mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Now that the identity is determined, it is easy to talk about the later things.
The Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't understand the rules in the palace, so Wang Yanqing excused himself to wait for the meal, so he should have stayed. Wang Yanqing said, "I'm really sorry, but you have to wait a little longer."
Aunt Liu saw that this fairy-like woman didn't despise them for being vulgar, and she spoke gently and softly to them, so she had the nerve to promise: "What's the matter, we usually go to the ground, and we have to eat at the time of Xu, and sometimes the fields are not finished. Eating at Hai is also a common thing. Now we don’t have to do anything, even if we have to bother you to bring it, we should say sorry.”
Wang Yanqing smiled and said, "You two don't blame me. The dishes will not arrive in a while, so sit down and talk."
Wang Yanqing said this, in fact, she knew in her heart that the food would not come. She sneaked in, she must not leave traces, this meal is doomed to fail. After Wang Yanqing left, the real palace maid and eunuch would come to deliver the meal.
The Zhuang households were not so particular, so Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their seats when they saw Wang Yanqing greet them kindly. Wang Yanqing pretended to be curious about the countryside, and took the initiative to ask how to farm the land.
Originally, Wang Yanqing was a noble person in the palace, and she was distant and fearful in the hearts of the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Now that she asks questions, her status has suddenly dropped. Aunt Liu didn't expect that the people in the palace were still inferior to her, and her heart swelled, and she immediately started chatting.
