I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 54 The Queen Occupies Nine Points
Chu Liuzheng: “…”

Is it too late for her to go back to work now?

"Young lady, are you so happy that you're silly?" Nanny Qian held Chu Liuzheng's hand affectionately, "Young lady, please come with me now. The Queen is still waiting for you."

[Hongmen Banquet! It must be the Hongmen Banquet! He calculated that the tyrant would go to Changchun Palace to visit the queen after hearing the news of her pregnancy, so he deliberately blocked me in Nongyun Garden.]

Chu Liuzheng secretly thought that he was unlucky, but he also held Madam Qian's hand affectionately and smiled lightly, "Madam, what you said really embarrasses me. I don't know which little hoof is gossiping behind my back. I don't have any tea-making skills. I just pour water into tea and taste the tea."

"How can I bring such a simple thing to the Empress to show off my folly? I am also tongue-tied and I don't know how to speak. If I really go with the nanny, it will disturb the Empress's peace for nothing, and it will be my fault."

"Besides, it's my turn to be on duty today. I just came back to get something and will go back to serve in Wenhua Hall. Please tell the queen on my behalf. I will go and kowtow to her when I am not on duty one day."

This speech was both a counter-attack and a counter-attack. It not only explained that the tea-making skill was a misunderstanding, but also gave a legitimate reason why one could not leave one's post without permission, and also implicitly used the emperor to suppress Concubine Rong.

Nanny Qian secretly thought that he was such a greedy person and she had really misjudged him before.

But she is not that easy to deal with.

The smile on Nanny Qian's face faded a little, and she immediately looked a little fierce.

"Whether it's true or not, since the queen has ordered me to come and invite you, you should come with me quickly and don't keep the queen waiting anxiously."

[Is he determined not to let her go? ]

Chu Liuzheng wanted to struggle a bit more, "But over at Wenhua Palace..."

"The Empress is pregnant, so Your Majesty will be delayed for some time when you go to visit her." Nanny Qian grabbed Chu Liuzheng's wrist without saying anything and dragged him out. "Young lady, come with me to report first. It will only take a few cups of tea, and you will definitely be back in time to take up your duties."

[Sure enough, they calculated to block me! 】

[It seems like there is no way to avoid this today! ]

If he stuck his head out, he would be cut by a knife; if he hid his head, he would also be cut by a knife. Chu Liuzheng simply struggled with his wrist.

"Madam, please don't pull. If you hurt my hand, I won't be able to make tea for the Madam. Madam, please let go. I will go with you."

Nanny Qian was really worried that Chu Liuzheng would pretend to hurt his hand and blame her, so she immediately let go of Chu Liuzheng's wrist and instead held her arm to prevent her from escaping.

Since he had decided to go, Chu Liuzheng had no intention of escaping.

It is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

She was a servant in the imperial court. Considering the fact that His Majesty sent people to look for her before, it was impossible for Concubine Rong to really take her life. She would just have to endure some suffering.

[It must be because the tyrant gave me the perfume and powder that Concubine Rong suddenly set her sights on a little maid like me! Ahhh! Tyrant, I hate you!!]

*
Huaqing Palace.

The little palace maid came in quickly and whispered two words into Xianglu's ear.

Xianglu waved her hand to let her leave, and the pressure increased a little. Concubine Rong, who was pretending to be asleep but was actually asleep, slowly opened her eyes. There was a hint of moisture in her eyes, which made this stunning beauty even more charming.

"My lady, the people have arrived."

"Bring him in when you get there." Rong Guifei slowly sat up with the soft pillow, raised her hand and gently stroked her hair, "Is my hair messy?"

Xianglu took a serious look and said with a smile, "Everything is fine. Your Majesty looks good at all times."

Concubine Rong gave her a glare and asked, "Did you just eat honey secretly?"

"What I said is the truth." Xianglu placed a pillow behind her. "There are three thousand beauties in the harem. In terms of beauty, your Majesty alone accounts for nine points. The remaining point is because your Majesty did not put on makeup and deliberately let them have it." Concubine Rong was amused by this and chuckled. She poked Xianglu's face with her fingers affectionately.

[Wow! Concubine Rong's smile is more beautiful than any flower, she really deserves the title of the most beautiful among all the beauties.]

Chu Liuzheng, who had just been brought in, was a little infatuated.

It was too late last time, and Concubine Rong was wearing a veil, so Chu Liuzheng didn't get a clear look at what this concubine, who was famous for her beauty, looked like.

This time she finally saw her clearly. In her two lifetimes combined, she had never seen a woman more beautiful than this imperial concubine.

Every facial feature is exquisite, her skin is fair and flawless, needless to say, but the most important thing is her unique temperament.

She is charming yet innocent, and her appearance is extremely charming. Her upturned fox eyes are particularly clear, just like a red fox drinking from a spring and lying in the snow. She is very smart and makes people sigh at her sight.

[Nuwa, I want to look like this in my next life! ! ]

Chu Liuzheng was obsessed with looks in his previous life, and he has not been able to change this habit in this life.

Her worldview is influenced by her five senses, and that's what she is talking about.

She likes all beauties.

Of course, it is the kind of love that comes from pure appreciation, just like when you suddenly see a beautiful vase or a beautiful piece of jewelry on the street and can't help but stop and take a look.

[The tyrant also looks quite evil. If he stands next to Concubine Rong...hiss——a feast for those who like beauty! I really want to see it!!]

No matter how excited and roaring he was in his heart, Chu Liuzheng didn't show a single clue on his face, and bowed politely: "Your servant Chu Liuzheng greets the queen, may the queen be blessed with good health."

"Xianglu, do you think my eyebrows are a little light? Would it be better if you draw them again?" Concubine Rong seemed not to have noticed Chu Liuzheng, and looked left and right in the crystal mirror that Xianglu was holding.

This mirror was a tribute from a foreign country, there are only two of them in total.

One side is in the Wanshou Palace, the other side is in the Huaqing Palace, and there is not even the Changchun Palace.

Concubine Rong liked this mirror the most. Firstly, it reflected her honor and favor, and secondly, this mirror could reflect even the strands of hair clearly, which was much more convenient to use than a bronze mirror.

"Your Majesty just took a nap, and maybe your eyebrows were rubbed on the pillow. I will add some for you right away." Xianglu waved to the little palace maid to come over with a mirror. She went to the dressing table to get the black ink, and bent over to draw eyebrows for Concubine Rong.

Anyone who has ever put on makeup knows that drawing eyebrows is a delicate job. If you want your eyebrows to look natural and beautiful, you have to take the trouble to draw them one by one.

The palace maids saluted by taking a small step back, stretching their upper body straight, and squatting with their knees bent. It looks good, but it requires a high level of stability in the lower body and core. It's okay to squat for a while, but if you squat for a long time, those who haven't practiced it will definitely get leg cramps.

Since she was transferred to serve tea in front of the emperor, Chu Liuzheng had not practiced etiquette for a long time. However, after only a cup of tea, her legs began to tremble involuntarily.

[Damn it! Back then, the old woman deliberately made things difficult for me and made me squat for half an hour. I managed to hold on, and that’s how I was successfully transferred to the Changchun Palace Library. I don’t believe I can’t hold on.]

Chu Liuzheng gritted his teeth and tried to tighten his core and hold on.

[I must not give Concubine Rong an opportunity to lash out at me. Several maids before me were punished in this way. If they cannot squat steadily, it is considered disrespectful to the Concubine. They will be slapped in the face at the very least and beaten with a stick at the worst. Chu Liuzheng, if you don't want to be beaten, then hold on! ! ]

Time passed by little by little, and the tea that had just been served had lost its heat.

Chu Liuzheng almost gnashed his teeth when he finally saw Xianglu finish drawing the eyebrows for Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong withdrew her gaze from the mirror with satisfaction, turned her head to look at Chu Liuzheng, as if she had just discovered that there was someone here, and opened her mouth slightly: "Ah, when did you come?"

Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and Chu Liuzheng forced a smile: "May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
