"I shouldn't have had that incident with you in Yixia Palace. In fact, I didn't want it to happen! I know I'm guilty because I've been blaming myself for what happened between you and me. Everything was completely wrong from the beginning.

Not what I want to see!"

At that time, what King Lin said was like a heavy pinch of salt on her injured heart. Even now, thinking of him still makes her heart tremble.

"It turns out that from beginning to end, I have never had a place in your heart."

The more she talked, the more annoyed she became, and just when she was about to burst into anger, Ziyou's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Princess, your food and wine have been prepared. Can we serve it to you now?"

Ziyou's crisp voice softened the solid atmosphere in the room, which temporarily interrupted Yao Xianxiu's anger at that time.

“Let’s serve!”

She ordered coldly.

"yes!"

Then one plate after another of wine and food was brought into the room, and then laid out one by one on the table.

"Princess, these are the dishes for the time being. If they are not enough, I will go to the dining room to cook. How about asking Laifu to prepare some more?"

After Ziyou finished serving the dishes, she stood aside and bowed to Yao Xianxiu to report.

"Yeah! Okay!"

Just as Ziyou was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped by Yao Xianxiu again.

"Hey... please give me a glass of water!"

Hearing this, she stopped again, turned around, walked to the tea table aside, and poured two cups of tea.

"Here you go!"

When she handed one of the cups of tea to Yao Xianxiu, she secretly stuffed a note under the cup.

"Well………………"

Seeing Yao Xianxiu stunned, Ziyou winked at her.

"Oh... Okay! You should retreat first! Just leave two people to guard the door."

She pretended to drink tea, but in fact she just touched her lips gently to the edge of the tea cup.

While King Lin was leaning back to drink tea, she secretly put the note in her hand under the desk and took a look at it.

"Don't get angry, it won't help; speak politely, but there is still life! Remember! Remember!"

When she saw the note, she came back to her senses and thought about it. She suddenly realized it. She suddenly felt that this maid's reminder was timely and she couldn't help but feel grateful.

"Eh? What's wrong with you?"

King Lin put down his tea cup and was momentarily stunned when he saw Yao Xianxiu's face turning red and white.

"Oh...it's nothing! I suddenly remembered that it is not suitable to eat food and drinks with mixed flavors during the confinement period!"

She thought about it and suddenly put down the teacup in her hand and smiled at King Lin.

Her smile made the atmosphere in the room suddenly soften, and King Lin also relaxed his tense mood.

"It's rare to see you smile, it's so rare!"

Staring at the food and wine on the table in front of her, Yao Xianxiu suddenly became distracted.

"It seems that I can no longer show my temper to others. My situation is already so bad. If I don't think of a solution carefully, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to turn around! Why did I enter the palace before others but do better than others?

So much difference? Is it really just a matter of fate?"

The more she thought about it, the more miserable she became, and she couldn't help but sniff secretly.

“Eh?…………you…………what’s wrong with you?”

King Lin, who was putting vegetables into his bowl, saw tears in her eyes and stopped his chopsticks to look at her in confusion.

"It's nothing! It's just that the more I think about it, the more I feel sad! Our child died tragically in vain, and the culprit is still at ease. How can I not feel sad?"

When she said this, her tears rolled down like beans into the tea cup in front of her.

"Well……………………"

"Princess, you are really amazing!"

Yunyao frowned. She was originally confused, but she seemed to realize some clues immediately.

"oh………………"

She was stunned for a moment and then entered the side hall.

"See if the furnishings in this side hall are still the same as before?"

"Ah... I didn't expect that the tables and stools have been replaced. It seems that the salary in Yingchen Palace is quite generous!"

When she saw the scene in the house, she was really shocked.

"Hey! Is this the clothes the girl said she made for Yu Liangdi last night?"

At this time, Xia Ruyan reached out and gently twirled the fabric on the table, and her expression instantly fell into a state of distraction.

"Crown Princess! Crown Princess! What's wrong with you?"

Yunyao scratched her head in confusion and called her softly several times.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Ruyan came back to her senses and smiled tactfully at Yun Yao, then she turned around and sat down.

“Nothing, nothing”

At this time, she actually picked up the teacup on the table and was about to drink it when she was stopped by Yun Yao.

"You can't drink! That's a teacup someone else drank from!"

Only then did Xia Ruyan realize that she was so nervous that she picked up someone else's teacup and started to drink from it, and her palms began to sweat secretly.

At this time, a little maid came in from the side door. She poked Yunyao's waist privately, which shocked Yunyao severely.

"Oh! Why do you walk so quietly!"

A look of disgust suddenly appeared on her face.

It turned out that this was the gatekeeper girl who got up in the morning and passed by the side hall gate to change her shift. She was sleepy and stretching lazily.

"Princess, if you don't have any instructions, I will leave now..."

She looked timid and trembling as she spoke.

"Well! Go ahead!"

"Thank you, Crown Princess......"

Before she finished speaking, the girl ran out of the threshold as if running for her life.

"It turns out to be the Crown Princess! This servant pays homage to the Crown Princess..."

When she saw clearly Xia Ruyan sitting on the tea table, she couldn't help but knelt down and kowtowed.

"My slave pays homage to the Crown Princess! My slave pays homage to the Crown Princess!"

"Well... you are quite smart, girl! Raise your head and let me see!"

"Yes... yes..."

The girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic. She was so frightened that she lost her soul.

"Well! What a handsome, smart and lovely person you are!"

Xia Ruyan suddenly smiled kindly at her.

"Oh... Thank you very much for the compliment, Crown Princess! Thank you for the compliment, Crown Princess!"

Her expression looked much more relaxed than before.

"Hey! Sister, you think I'll leave first and won't bother you anymore. You must be tired now! After all, it's not easy to be pregnant, so I'll leave now and wait a moment.

If there is another chance, let's catch up and reminisce about the past, and you can just go and practice some training! How about that?"

"She is really an honest girl, but it's a pity that she is a little reckless..."

Thinking of this, she sighed deeply.

"Master, there is no need to worry. This girl often goes to the clothes bureau to work. She has had a few encounters with this slave. Maybe she doesn't know that she is working under you! In fact, she is indeed an honest girl. This is true!"

"Yeah! That's right, it's just a pity that I ended up in this bitch's palace!"

"ah?…………"

Yunyao had just finished her smooth talk. Although she could not hear the underlying meaning of Xia Ruyan, a suspicion secretly arose in her heart.

At this time, a few swallows flew past the sky outside the window and landed on the top of the ginkgo tree. The lonely ginkgo tree seemed to have something on its mind...
