Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

The maid quickly held back her tears and wiped her face hurriedly.

The King of Qi stared at the face that looked very similar to Su Rao. He felt an inexplicable heat rising in his heart and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up the maid.

The maid was stunned at first, then instinctively hugged the King of Qi's neck, and the two of them entered the nearest room.

The door was kicked open rudely, and a series of unspeakable things happened.

Afterwards, even though that face was extremely similar to Su Rao, King Qi always felt that something was missing.

If I could possess Su Rao herself, the excitement and satisfaction would be doubled.

At the same time, in Shoukang Palace, Princess Yi and Princess Qi were enjoying lunch with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother deliberately asked Su Rao to serve at the side, doing the same thing as the palace maid, as if she was intentionally making a comparison.

Su Rao obediently served the Queen Mother the food, and every movement was gentle and delicate.

The Queen Mother wanted to take the opportunity to find fault and teach her a lesson, but she found that Su Rao's performance was impeccable and could not find anything to criticize.

Princess Qi served the Queen Mother a bowl of lotus seed soup, but the Queen Mother frowned.

The old maid at the side was about to step forward to help, but Su Rao had already taken the lead and gently picked out the green core in the center of the lotus seed with a silver spoon - that was the source of the bitter taste that the empress dowager most hated.

She gently placed the processed lotus seed porridge in front of the empress dowager, who snorted, "You have really mastered the art of pleasing others."

There is a sharp irony hidden in this sentence, implying that Su Rao uses her beauty to please others.

But Su Rao seemed to be unaware of it. She just smiled lightly and said gently, "Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment, thinking that this woman was really shameless. Where did the compliment come from?

The lunch finally ended, and Princess Yi found an excuse and was eager to leave.

The entire afternoon, the Queen Mother never stopped criticizing Su Rao, and she felt nervous for Su Rao just by watching her.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not obstruct them any further. She just nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, please retreat and have a rest."

After saying that, she glanced at Su Rao with a slightly cold look, especially this charming woman, who always made her feel unhappy.

Before Su Rao left, she looked back at the Queen Mother and said softly, "Queen Mother, your constitution is cold, so it is better to use less ice."

After saying this, she turned around and left lightly.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and her face returned to that cold expression.

"Is this goblin cursing me?" she muttered unhappily.

The old nanny standing by knew the empress dowager's thoughts very well. At first, the empress dowager did not like Prince Yi's concubine, but gradually she became satisfied with her service.

The Queen Mother had complicated feelings towards Su Rao, including disgust but also a bit of admiration. Perhaps even the Queen Mother herself could not figure it out.

"Look, old slave, she really cares about you." The old maid whispered to comfort her.

The Queen Mother snorted to express her disdain. Who cares about her concern?

……

Su Yi, Su Rao and Princess Qi walked out of Shoukang Palace together. The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry.

"It's still early, why don't we find a place to sit down and chat?" Princess Qi suggested, with a hint of intimacy in her tone.

The Princess of Qi had helped them before, and now she had taken the initiative to invite them, so it seemed inappropriate to refuse.

Su Yi smiled and nodded in agreement: "It's all up to Princess Qi to arrange."

The Princess of Qi led them to a resting place she often visited. It was a pavilion built by the water, elegantly decorated, with tables and chairs, and a pot filled with the best tea, waiting for their arrival.

Knowing that Su Rao had not eaten lunch, Princess Qi specially prepared some exquisite snacks.

The three of them sat around an exquisite sandalwood table, on which were placed several plates of snacks. The aroma filled the air, and the sounds of laughter and tea were intertwined.

"This is the green tea I picked this morning from my small tea garden. You two sisters may want to taste some and feel the freshness of early spring."

The Princess of Qi held the kettle herself and skillfully poured the light green tea into the delicate porcelain cup, then gently pushed it in front of Su Rao and Su Yi.

Su Rao slightly opened her red lips and took a sip. The fragrance of tea instantly bloomed in her mouth. It was fresh yet mellow. It was indeed a rare and premium tea.

"This tea has a unique flavor and a long aftertaste. The princess's craftsmanship is truly extraordinary." Su Rao nodded approvingly.

Upon hearing this, Princess Qi's eyes sparkled with love and pride for tea art. "This tea is not only made with exquisite ingredients, but I also made it myself, from picking to frying. I put a lot of effort into every step."

"The princess is truly talented and wise, which is admirable." Su Yi admired sincerely, secretly sighing in his heart that the Princess of Qi not only had a noble status, but also had extraordinary taste and cultivation.

Although she did not have an in-depth understanding of the Prince of Qi's Palace, she knew that the Princess of Qi had a weak constitution. The Royal Concubine in the palace specially sent her confidants to help with the chores in the palace, allowing the Princess of Qi to enjoy a rare period of leisure.

The imperial concubine's action may be out of concern for the health of Princess Qi, or a subtle dissatisfaction with her failure to give birth to a child. The outside world can only speculate and has no idea.

In order to avoid touching on sensitive topics, Su Yi cleverly changed the subject and mentioned her expertise in embroidery.

She took out a small handkerchief from her sleeve, which was embroidered with lifelike butterflies. The colors were colorful and the craftsmanship was exquisite, which made Princess Qi marvel again and again.

Su Yi smiled and said, "This is what I made recently. My sister's craftsmanship is even more superb. The little yellow duck purse that I gave to Princess Changle a few days ago was her masterpiece."

Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, Su Rao suddenly felt abdominal discomfort and urgently needed to find a place to relieve herself.

Upon seeing this, Princess Qi immediately ordered the palace maid beside her, instructing her in a gentle tone to lead Su Rao there.

Su Rao followed the footsteps of the palace maid, walked through the winding corridor, bypassed the carved stone pillars, and stepped into a quiet courtyard.

In the small courtyard, an ancient plum tree is quietly blooming, the air is filled with a faint floral fragrance, and the simple toilet is hidden behind the plum tree.

As they walked, Su Rao felt unprecedentedly tired. Since the afternoon, her physical strength seemed to be constantly being consumed. Perhaps it was due to the excessive sunlight or the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, her body gradually showed signs of discomfort.

Her mind became fuzzy and she had trouble focusing.

Su Rao tried hard to half open her eyes, her gaze fixed on the palace maid leading the way in front of her, and a sense of uneasiness arose in her heart.

"Your Majesty, the toilet is over there, please be careful where you step." The maid's voice was calm and gentle, and everything seemed normal, but Su Rao caught a glimpse of something strange in this calmness.

There was nothing wrong with the palace maid's behavior, but Su Rao's intuition told her that things were not simple.

People have three urgent needs. Su Rao endured the discomfort and quickened his pace.

When washing her hands, she deliberately scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face, trying to dispel the inexplicable feeling of drowsiness.

However, a severe dizziness suddenly hit her, her body shook involuntarily, and finally she fell to the ground weakly.

Seeing this, the seemingly loyal maid raised her lips slightly, and a barely perceptible sneer flashed across her face...
