Chapter 1178 [The Glory of Tang Dynasty 5]

At this moment, Murong Linzhi accidentally tilted the cup in his hand, and a few drops of clear water jumped and landed on Cui Caiping's skirt like naughty elves.

Cui Caiping was secretly delighted. She felt that this was a godsend! This way, she could show her arrogance and contempt for others even more vividly. Moreover, if the emperor saw this scene, he would definitely not choose her.

So, Cui Caiping raised her hand without hesitation and slapped Murong Linzhi hard. This slap seemed to be very powerful, but in fact it was just a show, without any real force. In order to make the slap look more realistic, Cui Caiping also smeared some red powder on her hand in advance. When she finished, a red mark appeared on Murong Linzhi's face, as if he had been hit hard.

Cui Caiping looked at Murong Linzhi smugly, and said unyieldingly: "You think you can touch me? Do you know that this skirt of mine was specially prepared for me by my aunt? How dare you dirty it? Can you afford the compensation?"

Although Murong Linzhi didn't feel much pain on her face, she knew that she had accidentally spilled water on Cui Caiping's skirt, so she quickly apologized to Cui Caiping: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, please forgive me."

Seeing such a red slap mark on her sister's face, Shen Zhenzhu hurriedly said, "Miss Cui, I'm really sorry, Lin Zhi didn't mean it, please forgive me."

"If it wasn't intentional, then it was intentional." Cui Caiping said this deliberately.

Murong Linzhi held Shen Zhenzhu and said to Cui Caiping, "Miss Cui, I can compensate you for the clothes."

"This dress of mine is worth a fortune, and I only have one. You can't afford to compensate me. Forget it. I'm just unlucky to have met you." Cui Caiping said.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei slowly approached, and their presence seemed to bring a bit of tranquility to the originally noisy scene. Emperor Xuanzong's eyes were sharp, and he noticed Cui Caiping's arrogance and domineering at a glance, while in sharp contrast, Shen Zhenzhu was neither humble nor overbearing and talented.

At the same time, the cynical Li Tan was wandering around the Hundred Flowers Garden in the palace. He was full of curiosity about the selection event, after all, this was an important moment for the emperor to select concubines for him and his brother Li Chu. So, while eating dates, he leisurely climbed up the palace wall to take a peek at the beauties participating in the selection.

However, accidents always happen inadvertently. Li Neng's feet suddenly slipped and he fell to the ground like a puppet that lost its balance.

As luck would have it, at the moment when Li Neng fell, Murong Linzhi and Shen Zhenzhu happened to pass by. Murong Linzhi was a woman proficient in medicine, and her keen observation allowed her to quickly notice the surrounding scene - the ground full of date pits and the unconscious Li Neng.

Murong Linzhi hurried forward, carefully checked Li Neng's condition, and felt his pulse. Soon, she found that the reason why Li Neng fainted was because the date pit was stuck in his throat. So, she decisively asked Shen Zhenzhu to help Li Neng stand up, and then slapped him hard on the back a few times.

The slapping was indeed effective, and with a "pop" sound, the pit was successfully spit out. Li Tan also regained consciousness at this moment and slowly opened his eyes.

Li Neng slowly woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, his vision gradually became clear. The first thing that came into his sight was a beautiful and gentle face, staring at him with a concerned expression.

That was Murong Linzhi, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was happy for his awakening. A strange feeling surged in Li Tan's heart, as if he was struck by lightning, his eyes were involuntarily attracted to Murong Linzhi, and he could no longer look away.

Li Neng stared at Murong Linzhi infatuatedly, and for a moment he even forgot where he was. He calmed down and finally came to his senses, and asked quickly: "Miss, who are you?"

Murong Linzhi smiled slightly and replied softly, "My name is Murong Linzhi, please don't be too polite, sir."

When Li Neng heard this, he was even more delighted. He hurriedly asked, "Miss Murong, your name is so poetic and picturesque. I wonder if I can have the honor of meeting you?"

Murong Linzhi smiled shyly and said, "Sir, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary person. How dare I trouble you to praise me like that? As for our acquaintance, it is all fate. If we are destined to meet, we will meet again."

After saying that, Murong Linzhi turned and left, leaving Li Neng staring at her back, his heart restless for a long time.

In the dark, Cui Caiping saw all of this. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Murong Linzhi was indeed a good person, but it was probably difficult for her and herself to become friends. Li Dan seemed to be Murong Linzhi's official match, so the two of them were quite a good match.

Shen Zhenzhu felt anxious when she saw Murong Linzhi being harassed by Li Tan. She quickly grabbed Murong Linzhi's hand and left in a hurry.

Along the way, Shen Zhenzhu said with lingering fear: "This palace is too dangerous, especially Cui Caiping, she has an aunt Yang Guifei, we have to be careful. Lin Zhi, it's all my fault that I was useless and failed to protect you."

Murong Linzhi comforted her, "It's okay, Zhenzhu, it was just a slap in the face. It doesn't hurt now, you see." As she spoke, she smiled mischievously.

Shen Zhenzhu looked carefully and found that the mark on Lin Zhi's face had completely disappeared. She couldn't help but wonder, "Lin Zhi, what happened? I saw that the injury on your face was quite serious before, how come it disappeared so quickly?"

Murong Linzhi touched his cheek and answered thoughtfully, "I also find it very strange, especially Cui Caiping. Her behavior is really hard to understand. The slap seemed to be very hard, but in fact I didn't feel any pain at all, and the so-called mark was actually just some rouge. I just wiped it off."

After hearing this, Shen Zhenzhu was shocked and asked, "What? It's just a red powder? Then what is Cui Caiping's intention?"

Murong Linzhi shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know either. At present, I can only be sure that Cui Caiping should not have any ill intentions towards us, but I really can't figure out the purpose of her doing this."

Shen Zhenzhu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I seem to have heard from others that Cui Caiping likes Prince Guangping. Do you think she did this for Prince Guangping?"

Murong Linzhi frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "That's possible, but we are just guessing at the moment. We have to observe the specific situation further."

Shen Zhenzhu nodded in agreement. "Well, you are right. No matter what, let's take it one step at a time and see what Cui Caiping will do next."
