Uncle, this palace is not going to sleep tonight

Chapter 142

Liu Qingyun glanced at Murong Rongyan out of the corner of her eye, saw that she was looking at her with a sneer, and gradually understood - although this red copper cup is of great significance, it is made of copper after all, copper and iron conduct heat, and the tea in the cup is also boiling After brewing.

It turned out that this kind of trick was used?
Liu Qingyun looked at Murong Rongyan coldly, "I think the concubine knows the value of this cup and prepared it just for me to enter the palace to greet me?"

Murong Rongyan seemed slightly pleased, but still said softly: "The third concubine is just serving tea to the queen mother, what has it to do with the cup, the queen mother loves the third prince the most, and now the third prince Jianguo can't come to serve tea , the princess must not lose her etiquette."

Of course she couldn't lose her manners.

The Empress Dowager's impression of her was already ambiguous. If she behaved well, her life would not be too sad in the future. If she offended the Empress Dowager, her life might be turned into a tragedy for the hot teacup!
Gritting her teeth, Liu Qingyun slowly stretched out her fingers, gradually touching the rim of the cup, twisting her hands at both ends, letting her skin touch the copper cup as little as possible.

pain!
The scorching pain burned on her fingers, her fingers connected to her heart, her whole body was shaking due to the pain.

Step by step, she moved forward with difficulty, but the tea in the cup was too full, and her hot, red and swollen fingers were trembling, a few drops of full boiled tea spilled onto the back of her hand, and she got up a few times. blister.

"Mother, empress dowager..." She toasted her glass and took a few steps in front of the empress dowager, and forced a smile: "Empress dowager, please drink tea."

"Third Imperial Concubine, you are really reluctant to serve this teacup." Murong Rongyan smiled triumphantly.

"Okay, the third concubine is offering tea, and the Ai family is very satisfied."

The Empress Dowager Shangguan was about to reach out to pick it up, but Liu Qingyun's fingertips trembled, and the whole cup of tea fell to the ground with a "crash".Some of the splashed tea splashed onto the Empress Dowager's phoenix shoes, causing the Empress Dowager to exclaim, "It's so hot!"

Liu Qingyun's drooping arm started to turn red from her fingertips, she knelt on one side and said, "My concubine is negligent, the queen mother forgives me!"

The maid of the Empress Dowager Shangguan used a cold handkerchief to drive away the heat for the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager said angrily, "Who made this water? It's so hot, do you want to scald Aijia to death!"

All the cooks in the small kitchen of Tongque Terrace came in, knelt in a row, and panicked: "The tea prepared by the servants is according to the queen mother's preference, just warm, this... the servants don't know how it happened."

"Where's the maid serving tea just now!"

Qiaoyan hurriedly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the servant also took the tray and brought it over directly. The servant really doesn't know who tampered with the teacup."

In fact, it was she who poured out the original tea and immediately replaced the boiled water when no one was prepared, but she couldn't admit it even if she was beaten to death.
