Chapter 132 I Really Treated Her Like a Fool

After drinking two cups, Chu Luoyi felt something different about Liuyue, and asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

On weekdays, Liuyue always stares at her closely, and she is not allowed to eat and drink at night, and sometimes she is not even allowed to touch the meat, saying that it is not easy to digest.

But today is very abnormal.

To make this stubborn girl abnormal, absolutely something will happen.

Liu Yue pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Princess, Duke Chong has sent a lot of gifts."

"Duke Chongguo sent gifts?" Chu Luoyi was surprised, "What are you sending these for? Does Mu Jinchuan know?"

Could it be that Mu Jinchuan helped Chong Guogong, so Chong Guogong came to give her a gift?

Probably not, even if it was a gift, it should be given to Yue Sichun, and it would never be her turn.

"Chong Guogong said that it was to thank you for your help that day." Liu Yue replied, with some worries on her face, "Princess, my lord doesn't know about this, do you want to advance..."

If the prince finds out that Duke Chongguo gave gifts to the concubine privately, he will definitely be angry.

And the concubine has a stubborn temper. If the two of them had a conflict, they didn't know how to quarrel.

The concubine originally planned to leave the palace, and thought about asking the prince for a divorce letter every day. Wouldn't it be bad if the prince signed it in a fit of anger?
Chu Luoyi glanced at her lightly, "Why did you tell him? It was a gift from Duke Chongguo."

"Go and get it, I'll see what Lord Chongguo sent here." She raised her hand and ordered.

"Yes." The servant girl saluted, turned and left.

Soon, they brought the gifts over.

There are also many gifts, jade bracelets, hairpins, cloth, and even a jade flute.

Chu Luoyi picked up the jade flute and looked at it carefully.

The jade Atractylodes macrocephala is clear, and a clump of bamboo forest is engraved on the Xiao body, which is lifelike. There is a word "Chong" faintly hidden in the depth of the bamboo forest, and a tassel hangs at the end.

"This..." Chu Luoyi couldn't believe it, and suddenly felt that the jade flute in her hand was hot, and hurriedly put it into the wooden box.

I heard that Chong Guogong has a jade flute that he particularly likes. He wears it all the time and never leaves it.

A clump of bamboo forest on it is lifelike, and there is also the word "Chong", which is difficult for ordinary people to see.

Could it be... just this one?
How could Lord Chongguo give her such a precious thing?
Liu Yue also noticed it, and she was also surprised, "Duke Chong's gift is too expensive! Do you have friendship with Duke Chong?"

"No." Chu Luoyi shook her head.

Riliuyue was sent out early by her to buy medicine the day before yesterday, so she didn't even know that she met Chong Guogong on the road.

She just did a small favor, the gift from Lord Chongguo didn't have to be so expensive.

The more Chu Luoyi thought about it, the more she didn't understand.

The original owner did not know Chong Guogong before, she only had such a relationship with Chong Guogong, how could he recognize her?

really weird!
Besides, she didn't do it to help him, but to save the shopkeeper.

After all, the seafood is sold by the elder brother, if it causes chaos, it will also affect the reputation of the elder brother.

"Liu Yue, when did Lord Chong Guo send it over?" Chu Luoyi asked.

"Around noon, the servant saw that you were fast asleep, so she didn't call you, and took it on her own initiative." Liu Yue said, her voice lowered, her face turned slightly pale, "Princess, did this servant do something wrong?"

"No, I'll just ask." Chu Luoyi shook her head, her phoenix eyes flickered slightly.

In other words, if Duke Chongguo wanted to send it, he should have sent it immediately after returning to the mansion.

But one day and one night later, sending her off after she returned to the palace meant that he had been watching her and knew when she would return to the palace.

In an instant, Chu Luoyi shuddered.

This Lord Chongguo definitely doesn't want to be so simple on the surface, at least he definitely won't be that kind of ignoring world affairs, otherwise he wouldn't be staring at her silently.

"Mo Qian." Chu Luoyi called into the air.

She remembered that the dark guard's hearing was very sensitive, and Mo Qian should be able to hear it.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Mo Qian appeared in front of her eyes, clasping her fists and saluting.

"princess."

"Did you know that there are people around the palace today?" Chu Luoyi asked.

Mo Qian was taken aback, "Is there anyone around the palace?"

how come?He followed the princess all the time and didn't feel any strangeness at all.

"The subordinates have never noticed any outsiders." Mo Qian clasped his fists in salute, and asked doubtfully, "What did the princess find?"

"It's nothing, I'll just ask." Chu Luoyi pursed her lips, her eyes froze for a moment.

Even Mo Qian didn't notice that Chong Guogong was really unusual.

Chu Luoyi glanced at Li, and ordered, "Take it into the treasury of the government and register it in the gift book."

"Yes." The servant girl saluted, turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly thought of something, Chu Luoyi called out again, "Wait a minute."

She got up, came to Yu Xiao, picked it up and handed it to Liu Yue, "Leave this in our courtyard."

In the future, maybe she will ask Chong Guogong for something, and it will be easy to handle things with this Xiao.

No matter what kind of calculations Chongguogong had, she couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up thinking about it.

there is always a solution to a problem.

"Yes." Liu Yue saluted.

At this moment, the guards came leading the embroidery room steward.

"Princess, the steward of the embroidery room wants to report to you about the tailoring of the clothes." The guard cupped his hands.

"Ah."

Chu Luoyi nodded slightly, her eyes suddenly became sharp, she glanced at the embroidery room steward, and asked, "Say."

"Princess, we have to count the size of maids and guards in the palace every year, and cut winter clothes. This year is also here, and we need your allocation." The embroidery house manager smiled and rolled his eyes twice, showing shrewdness.

Chu Luoyi didn't speak, slowly picked up the teacup with her fair and slender fingers, took a small sip, and said softly, "Speak."

"We need to cut three winter clothes for each maid, four for the guards, and the clothes of several of our stewards. This year, several of our stewards are discussing to drive out the clothes for a year. The total is 1 taels." The steward accompanied She smiled, but she looked down on Chu Luoyi in her heart.

What can a princess who has never been in charge of common affairs know?
How much silver he wants is not a matter of two sentences?

At the beginning, when he said that he wanted to check the account book, he often sent it over, but she didn't see anything from checking it.

But it's just verbal talk, nothing.

"1 taels?" Chu Luoyi repeated, the corners of her bright red lips were slowly raised, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Yes, that's right, it's 1 taels." The steward of the embroidery room nodded repeatedly.

"Heh." Chu Luoyi sneered.

He really dared to speak, the palace only has more than 100 servants, if they make clothes, they are all coarse cotton clothes, not to mention three maids and four guards, even if they all have four, 100 taels of silver is more than enough.

In the side concubine's courtyard, there are three clothes in January, all of which are silk and satin, and they are only a few hundred taels anyway. Counting her courtyard and Mu Jinchuan's courtyard, 1000 taels are more than enough.

1 taels!

Ah!
The steward really took her for a fool.

"Are you sure it's 1 taels?" Chu Luoyi raised her eyes, her voice was cold inch by inch, her aura was strong and oppressive.
