As soon as she walked out of Zixiao Palace, Tao Ti raised her hand and patted her chest, breathing a little sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the special circumstances, she wouldn't be willing to lie, let alone lying to such a gentle and gentle sickly beauty like Pei Yan.

Oh, this feeling of guilt...

"Princess, are we still going to pick that locust flower?" Linglong glanced at the dark sky and reminded her softly.

Tao Ti suddenly came to her senses and said without hesitation, "Go, I must go. Let's go for a walk. While the sky is still bright, let's pick them quickly and steam them at night. Let me tell you, this steamed locust flower

The flowers are so fragrant, and only in spring can you taste such fresh flowers all year round. In addition to steaming sophora flowers, we can also fry sophora flowers and make omelette..."

Listening to the Crown Princess talking about the various ways of making Sophora japonica, Linglong's guardedness gradually dissipated a lot, and her usually expressionless face became a little warmer.

Before she was sold into the palace, her grandmother would pick fresh locust flowers in the spring and cook porridge and cakes with her family. It was such a good time.

——

Under the sophora grove, which is as white as snow, Tao Ti raised her little head and directed the little eunuch to pick flowers.

"Yes, yes, the ones over there are fresh. It doesn't matter if you cut off the whole branch. It will grow back next year."

"Be careful, pick slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Looking at the sophora flowers gradually filling the bamboo basket, Tao Ti knelt down, held a handful of flowers in her hands and sniffed them, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

Suddenly, she felt as if someone was looking towards them.

Tao Ti raised her eyes and looked around. When she saw the two figures standing in the corridor not far away, the smile on her face froze.

In the corridor, standing in front was a man wearing a sapphire blue brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist, with a handsome face and an upright posture. Behind him was a slender eunuch with droopy eyebrows.

The master and servant were looking towards them.

Although Tao Ti couldn't see the expression on his face clearly from a distance, she recognized the man's identity at a glance——

The Third Prince Pei Changzhou.

That scumbag who treated the original owner Pua and pushed her to commit suicide step by step!

The good mood of picking flowers disappeared in an instant, replaced by anger rising in my heart.

She pursed her lips angrily and cursed in her heart: Look, you scumbag still has the nerve to show off!!

Pei Changzhou also noticed that Tao Ti had seen him. Thinking of what Pei Lingbi had said to him a few days ago, his heart moved slightly.

He was about to raise his hand to wave to Tao Ti, but before he could raise his hand, Tao Ti turned her head decisively and never looked at him again.

Pei Changzhou frowned, was he really angry?

But it doesn't matter if he's angry. Anyway, this stupid woman is very easy to coax. As long as he says a few nice words, she will obey him obediently.

Thinking of this, Pei Changzhou adjusted his collar a little and walked towards the locust tree forest confidently.

The eunuch behind him was startled and lowered his voice to remind, "Master, this is the East Palace."

Pei Changzhou curled his lips and said disdainfully, "What's wrong with the East Palace? I just wanted to say hello to my sister-in-law. It doesn't matter even if the prince finds out. He has always been gentle and tolerant and won't take it to heart."

Just when Pei Changzhou was about to reach the locust tree forest, he saw Tao Ti leading Linglong and the little eunuch picking flowers in the other direction.

Although he was only about ten meters away, she looked as if she hadn't seen him. She didn't even give him an extra look, and walked away in a clean and tidy manner.

Looking at the petite figure gradually disappearing, Pei Changzhou's handsome face darkened.

What does this woman mean? She is shameless, right?

She had only been married to the East Palace for a few days, and yet she dared to be so cold to him...

Pei Changzhou felt a burst of anger in his heart. Could it be that this woman had really switched sides to Pei Yan as Lingbi said?

No, this is absolutely not possible. Even if he has only used her as a pawn, she can only be a pawn in his hands and belongs to him alone!

Thinking of this, a sinister look appeared in Pei Changzhou's eyes, and he had to find a way to bring this chess piece back together.

****

Bad luck, bad luck!

Tao Ti returned to Yaoguang Hall in depression. She was happily picking flowers, but her mood was completely ruined by the scum.

Zi Shuang came out with a warm voice, and when she saw Tao Ti's face was calm, she first asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" and then glared at Linglong with raised eyebrows, "Did you make the master angry because you didn't serve the master well?

!”

Linglong looked at Zi Shuang calmly and said nothing.

Seeing that Linglong didn't speak, Zi Shuang just thought that she didn't take him seriously, and her tone became even more aggressive, "Why, you are still not convinced even after I say a word to you? You are still glaring at me, you cheap maid has quite a temper!"

Linglong said lightly, "Aren't you also a slave?"

Zi Shuang choked and retorted, "Are you worthy of competing with me? I have been with the master since I was eight years old, and you have only been with the master for a few days!"

Tao Ti was already a little annoyed, but now that he heard the two of them arguing, he became even more annoyed. He glanced at Zi Shuang angrily and said, "Okay, stop arguing. It's none of Linglong's business. Zi Shuang, you go down first. There's no need here."

You took care of me."

Zi Shuang was still a little reluctant, but Tao Ti had a straight face, so she had to step back first.

Tao Ti looked at Linglong on one side and said warmly, "Zishuang has always been with me, but I didn't control her well. Don't take what happened just now to your heart..."

Linglong lowered her eyes and said, "Master, don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

Tao Ti nodded, "Take two palace servants to wash a pot of Sophora japonica flowers, and let's steam some Sophora japonica flowers to eat in the evening."

After Linglong retreated, Tao Tizheng slumped down on the couch, staring at the roof and thinking in her mind——

Judging from the current performances of Linglong and Zishuang, she prefers Linglong who doesn't talk much but works hard. As for Zishuang, she is a bit noisy and likes to stir up trouble...

Maybe Zi Shuang is really dedicated to her master, but judging from her current behavior, the chance of cheating her master seems to be greater.

Forget it, let's just observe her for a while longer? If Zi Shuang continues to behaving like this, then you can consider whether to stay or leave her.

She turned over and thought about Pei Changzhou again.

I have to say that the scumbag is pretty good-looking, and that's right. Emperor Zhaokang and Empress Zhou are both good-looking, so the chance of giving birth to an ugly monster is not high.

But what did he mean when he started walking towards her? Why, seeing that she was not dead, he still wanted to fool her again?

Tao Ti cursed hard in her heart and made up her mind to take a detour when seeing Pei Changzhou in the future and never have anything to do with such a scumbag again.

However, facts have proven that flags cannot be set randomly——

In the afternoon of the second day, when Tao Ti was humming a little tune to adjust the fillings for Sophora Flower Buns, Zi Shuang came over mysteriously and said, "Master, I have something important to report."

Tao Ti didn't even raise her head, "What's the matter?"

Zi Shuang's eyes flickered, she glanced at the other palace people beside her, and lowered her voice and said, "For this matter... Master, should you go to the palace with your slaves?"

Tao Ti frowned slightly, "...?"

After thinking for a moment, she put down what she was doing, wiped her hands dry, and walked into the hall with Zi Shuang.

The hall was quiet, and the master and servant were facing each other.

Tao Ti poured a cup of tea and took a few sips. She looked at Zi Shuang and said, "There is no one here now. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There are still steamed buns waiting on the stove."

Zi Shuang reached out and touched it from her sleeve, then took out a letter, bent down and held it to Tao Ti respectfully with both hands, "Master, this letter."

Letter...what letter?

Tao Ti's eyelids suddenly twitched, and her imagination widened. Apart from being a wedding bride, does she have any other vestments? For example, being a beautiful undercover agent or something like that?

She took the letter with a serious face, but there was no signature on the cover.

"Who sent this?"

"Master, it's..." Zi Shuang didn't say her name, she just stretched out her hand and made a three sign.

Tao Ti was slightly stunned, "...Pei Changzhou?"

Zi Shuang smiled ambiguously and nodded.

After quickly reading the content of the letter, Tao Ti's frown could kill a fly.

Did this Pei Changzhou eat a copy of "The Complete Collection of Local Love Stories"? Disgusting! Greasy!

After adjusting her mood a little, Tao Ti put the letter on the table beside her, turned and looked directly at Zi Shuang, "How did you get this letter?"

Zi Shuang originally wanted to take credit, but when she looked up and saw her master's serious look, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

After a silence, she said cautiously, "Master, this letter was given to this slave by Hu Jin, the eunuch next to the third prince. He asked the slave to deliver it to you, master."

Tao Ti narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "How many benefits has the Third Prince given you, and you want to harm me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Shuang's face turned pale and she said in panic, "Master, what are you talking about? What is good and bad? I am loyal to you, how can I harm you?"

Tao Ti saw her eyes twinkling, showing that there was something wrong in her heart, and her tone became even colder, "Isn't this harming me? If what happened today is known to others, how will others see me? How will the prince see me?"

Zi Shuang met the cold eyes and felt her legs weaken. She immediately fell to her knees on the ground, trembling, "Master, calm down, slave, slave..."

She couldn't figure out what was going on. In the past, the master received a letter from the third prince, which looked like a treasure. Why was he so heartless now?

Looking at Zi Shuang kneeling on the ground, Tao Ti pursed her red lips. Yesterday, she thought about giving her another chance, but she didn't expect that today she would step on the thunder and blow herself up.

I dare say that the original owner kept a spy by his side.
