The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 385 Slap in the face (1)
Abi was originally a court lady brought out by Zhao Jing herself. Since entering the palace, she has been assigned to the tea room of the imperial study. Although serving in front of the emperor is always fearful, but in front of others, it is a decent job. She is the queen mother. When the aunts in the empress's palace saw her, there was no one who was not pleasant.

Besides, after Zhao Jing left, only this Abi could catch the eyes of the little emperor, let her serve him all the time, if she didn't see Zhao Jing coming today, she definitely wouldn't dare to be in this tea room lazy.

Abi was so robbed by Lu Xinyue, but her face turned red early in the morning. Although she was a bit tempered, she had never encountered such a thing before, but she couldn't think of how to reject it for a while, and she only blushed a little. Opening his face, he knelt down slightly aggrieved.

There was a cup of tea leaves on the ground, the wet puddle, the little palace maid knelt on it very aggrieved.But Lu Xinyue snorted coldly, and was about to open her mouth to reprimand her again, but she saw Xu Xian and Qi Xinrui bless their bodies facing the outside.Both of them looked cautious and frightened.

Lu Xinyue felt a little strange in her heart, she tilted her head, and as far as her eyes could see, she saw a bright yellow dress with a pattern of double dragons playing with pearls embroidered on it.

Lu Xinyue's face turned red immediately, she suppressed it a little, and then she turned her head slowly, but the stern look on her face just now was gone, and she only whispered to the little emperor with a bit of gentleness: "Why is your majesty?" I came here in person, and I was just about to make a cup of tea for the emperor, but who knew that this court lady was so clumsy that she poured the tea cup over."

Zhou Xu had already seen the scene just now in his eyes. He almost fell for the advice of the fourth girl of Jing Guogong's mansion in the early years. He was a little more wary of women, and he was only getting along with Lu Xinyue for a while. , I just felt that girls are still somewhat innocent.Besides, Lu Xinyue was gentle and considerate in front of him, she looked a bit like Zhao Jing took care of her back then, so she liked her a little bit, but who would have let him see this scene today!
"Abi has always been the smartest court lady in front of me. I don't know that she was also clumsy at times. Cousin, tell me, how should I deal with such a clumsy court lady?" Zhou Xu looked at Lu Xinyue , the anger that suddenly gathered in his eyes receded slightly, and he looked at her as kindly as possible and asked.

When Xu Xian and Qi Xinrui heard this, their hearts tightened, and they even gave Abi a sympathetic look, as if hesitating to speak.

At this time, Lu Xinyue had returned to her usual gentle and generous appearance, with a smile even on the corner of her mouth, she turned to Zhou Xufu and said, "Since Abi is a useful maid by the Emperor's side, I would like to come to her just now." It was also an unintentional mistake, the emperor should not dispose of her, there is no need to make the emperor unhappy for a slave."

Zhou Xu heard this, but the anger in his heart became more and more violent. At this time, he was on the verge of erupting. He looked at Lu Xinyue in disbelief, and said slowly: "Cousin, I can see clearly. It is clear that you deliberately did not catch the tea tray and let the tea in the tea cup splash on the body of the second girl of the Xu family. How can you open your eyes and say nonsense, saying that Abi is clumsy? Why is my cousin acting in front of me? ? Doesn’t my cousin know that you are a criminal deceiving the emperor? Or does my cousin think that the emperor is too easy to fool?”

Zhou Xu's words were cold, but his eyes were full of disappointment.He grew up in the palace alone, only Zhao Jing devoted his heart and soul to him, and now Lu Xinyue, who is about the same age as him, came to him. At first, he thought that she was kind of sincere to him, but he did not expect it to be the same The temperament of obedience and disobedience is really irritating and hateful.

"Your majesty... Your majesty, listen to me!" Lu Xinyue didn't know that the emperor suddenly became angry, her face was flushed in a hurry, her eyes were full of tears, and she hurriedly knelt down and said: "I have never lied to the emperor, my majesty Why do you say that? I am sincere to the emperor!"

"It's true and false, only God knows! Cousin, please go back, this is my imperial study, and no one else is allowed to come near it!"

Zhou Xu was furious, the little eunuch guarding outside had already heard the sound, but Fu Manduo had seen Lu Xinyue's domineering appearance in private, and seeing this situation, he secretly applauded, hearing the emperor's words , followed the two little eunuchs behind and said: "Did you hear what the emperor said? Why don't you go and ask Princess Lu to leave first?"

The two young eunuchs hurried forward, bowed towards Lu Xinyue and said, "Princess Lu, please!"
