After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chapter 15 How to leave the palace

Qiu Shuang did not try to persuade Chu Lingyao to stay. Her relationship with Chu Lingyao was made up, so there was no real relationship.

It was just a polite inquiry. The meal was enough for the two of them to share. Since Chu Lingyao chose to go hungry instead of eating, Qiu Shuang had no obligation to beg her to eat.

Qiu Shuang flattened her mouth and murmured: "You grew up in the countryside, how dare you be as picky as the princess. Some food is good. When you are the concubine of the Northern Liao Prince, you have forgotten where you came from."

Chu Lingyuan had farm space so she couldn't be hungry. She picked some fruits to eat for comfort, and when night fell, she went to explore the food bureau in the East Palace.

Seeing the clouds disappearing in the sky and the bright moon creeping onto the treetops, Chu Ling opened the window and looked up, and her sight happened to collide with someone coming from outside.

Xie Huaiyu has a tall figure, wearing a snow-white straight-fronted robe, and a Xiangyun belt around his waist, with a piece of black jade hanging on it, swaying steadily with his gait.

His brows were gentle, and the stars in his eyes were brighter than the blue sky. He met Chu Lingyao's gaze and took her in.

The corners of Chu Lingyao's slightly raised lips were straightened, with an unwelcome look on her face.

What did Xie Huaiyu come to do?
His wives took a look at Chu Lingyao because of yesterday's wedding night, and their eyes were like hungry wolves seeing a sheep, wanting to eat Chu Lingyao alive.

Chu Lingyao didn't want to make a fuss, she just asked the giant Buddha to leave quickly and not to come again in the future.

The palace maid came to Chu Lingyao to report, "Concubine, the prince is here."

Chu Lingyao nodded and motioned for her to retreat.

Qiu Shuang didn't come to complain because she had diarrhea. She couldn't leave the hut within a few minutes after finishing the meal.

Xie Huaiyu walked in, carrying the coldness from outside, and the wind blew onto Chu Lingyao's face.

Chu Lingyao was about to salute, but Xie Huaiyu held his hands.

He said: "No need to kneel."

After hearing this, Chu Lingyuan withdrew her hands, stood up straight, and smiled so hard that it was hard to tell whether it was true or not, "What's the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince came here at night?"

When she said that, it was obvious.

Don't even think about staying here. I don't welcome you. Leave now.

Xie Huaiyu's eyes reflected Chu Lingyao, and she also smiled, "Don't you want to be alone?"

Chu Lingyao said, "I don't dare."

She just didn't dare, but it wasn't that she didn't want to.

Xie Huaiyu sat down and Chu Lingyao poured tea for him.

He asked: "Are you able to adapt to the surrounding environment?"

"It is false to say that you have adapted. When people enter a strange environment, it takes time to adjust."

Xie Huaiyu picked up the cup with the tip of his slender white fingers and took a sip. His eyes were hidden behind the curtain, "The Crown Princess is the daughter of the Prime Minister. She is doted on the powerful. Her temperament is naturally more delicate. I have also heard about what happened this morning. You don’t have to go to say hello in the future.”

Chu Lingyao raised her eyebrows, "Your Highness, this seems to be against the rules."

Xie Huaiyu curled his lips, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. I just hope you can adapt quickly."

When the tea in Xie Huaiyu's cup was bottomed out, he left.

Chu Lingyao guessed Xie Huaiyu's intention.

The Crown Princess's side, Xie Huaiyu, couldn't come forward to remind her about Shen Jingli's family background, but Chu Lingyao couldn't ignore it because it would involve Xiliang's face.

Starting from greetings, Xie Huaiyu gave an explanation, eliminating the need for Chu Lingyao to greet him in the morning.

This is good, it saves the energy of dealing with those women.

Qiu Shuangla was dehydrated, her face was blue and her cheeks were sunken, and her legs were trembling when she came back from the toilet.

When she saw Chu Lingyao, she glared with angry eyes and said dumbly: "You knew that someone had cheated on the food, but you still let me eat it!"

Chu Lingyuan tapped her lips with her fingertips and tilted her head, pretending to be confused, "How could I know? I just can't bear your hunger."

Qiu Shuang was weak and held on to the edge of the table, "Stop pretending to be innocent! No wonder the girl from the countryside is so picky and refuses to eat!"

Chu Lingyao raised her eyebrows slightly and said mockingly: "But you can't even compare to me, a country girl, and you didn't find anything wrong with the food."

"Me!" Qiu Shuang wanted to say something, but it was blocked in her throat.

Chu Lingyao sat on the wooden platform with her hands on the square table. "I'm curious. If you can't even tell this little trick, why did Xiliang send you here?"

Qiu Shuang's eyes weakened and she looked away, "It's none of your business. There's a reason why I should come."

"It seems like you would be stuck in the palace here without me taking action."

Qiu Shuang's spirit collapsed and she frowned fiercely, "You want to kill me?"

Chu Lingyao smiled faintly, did not respond, and went to the bedroom to change into a dark dress.

In addition to Qiu Shuang, there were several other maids serving Chu Lingyao. I think it was Shen Jingli who sent her the eyeliner.

Chu Lingyuan extinguished the candle, pretended to rest, and climbed out of the back window.

On her way to Qingyaxuan this morning, she memorized the directions of the surrounding buildings, and then asked Qiu Shuang about the specific location of Dianshan Bureau. Even in the dark, she could still find it after some searching.

Chu Lingyao entered the Dianshan Bureau.

It is truly a place to serve the prince, with a large space and complete kitchen utensils and all kinds of seasonings.

She lit a weak fire and used the dim light to catch a fish from the farm space.

Although there are ready-made ones here, the people who manage the Dianshan Bureau are not so careless that they fail to remember the quantities of ingredients.

Chu Lingyao always eats fish not because he likes it, but because it is convenient and simple, unlike chickens, ducks and rabbits, which require skinning and a lot of blood.

She was tired of grilled fish, so she made a dish of steamed seabass, which was quick and delicious without much flavor.

While eating, she suddenly thought that the ingredients in the East Palace came from the imperial merchants outside the palace. The East Palace had a large population, and it was impossible to bring in more ingredients at once in order to keep them fresh. The meals that went into the Prince's mouth had to be brought in every day. Pick the freshest ones.

Isn’t this the way to get out of the palace?

After eating, Chu Lingyao washed the dishes and pots, quietly returned to Wanyan Pavilion and fell asleep.

She didn't have to get up in the morning to greet Shen Jingli, and she didn't sleep too much. She applied it to her face in front of the makeup mirror early in the morning.

Qiu Shuang heard the commotion, yawned and came to help Chu Lingyao wash up. She saw her face painted sallow, her eyebrows drawn roughly, her lips dazzlingly pink, and she also had a few big moles on her face.

Qiu Shuang was stunned for a moment, then twitched the corner of her mouth, "If you don't want to be favored, there's no need to spoil yourself like this. It hurts my eyes because I'm so ugly."

Chu Lingyao ignored her comments and said, "Give me a set of your maid's clothes. I will go out later. If anyone comes to see me, I will refuse."

Qiu Shuang looked serious and felt something bad in her heart, "Where are you going?"

Chu Lingyao looked at herself in the makeup mirror and was very satisfied. She stood up and said, "Didn't you say that we are grasshoppers on a rope? If you don't want to be affected, just hold the door for me and don't let the rope break. And , don’t ask me questions next time, I am your master after all, how can grasshoppers be willing to be friends with each other if it’s not because they only have one rope.”

Qiu Shuang was so angry that she couldn't express her anger. No matter how she said she was a maid, Chu Lingyao was the master, her words and attitude were too out of bounds.

She was very dissatisfied. Why should she serve a girl from the countryside? Chu Lingyao just got the title of a princess by birth and married the prince of the enemy country!Isn’t it still the same lowly nature?

Qiu Shuang cursed Chu Lingyao in her heart, but she remained submissive and took her palace maid's dress to put on for Chu Lingyao, helped her cover up the Wanyan Pavilion, and then obediently guarded the door of Chu Lingyao's room.

Chu Lingyao went to Dianshan Bureau.

Some of the maids and nuns in the Dining Bureau are washing vegetables for lunch, and some are laying out dishes so that the masters can come and get breakfast.

There are a lot of people, but they are also a little busy. In this situation, I don't know how many people there are. Although I am shocked when I look at Chu Lingyao's ugly face, why is there one more person helping to take care of so many people? Maybe I didn't notice it before. .

When Chu Lingyao is extremely busy, she frantically looks for a sense of presence, attracting attention and making people remember her. When she is relaxed and happy, she works silently in the corner.

The conversation between the nuns during their free time suddenly turned to her.

"Why haven't I seen that person?"

"She must be one of the new maids from the last batch. She doesn't talk much but works hard."

"Those who work in the Dining Bureau change quickly. The strong girl who was as strong as a man last time was sent to work elsewhere."

The easiest place to poison with a high success rate is in eating. A group of people have to change every time you work in the Dianshan Bureau, which also gives Chu Lingyao an opportunity.
