Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 4: Teaching a Lesson to the Traitor
Zhao Yuanqing stared at Liuli coldly. She looked very strange. He thought she had started to have infidelity after coming to Cui's family. Could it be that it had already started now?
She scolded, "What's going on? You're so flustered!"
Liuli quickly regained her composure, picked up the tray, and said with a smile, "I was startled when I saw the princess. Princess, why did you come out?"
Liuli's intimate attitude was the result of Zhao Yuanqing's indulgence in the past. The two maids grew up with Zhao Yuanqing since childhood. They were master and servant in name, but in reality they were almost like sisters.
Zhao Yuanqing did not attack Liuli immediately. She wanted to see who was behind her.
"Come out for a walk for nothing, what have you two been doing?"
Liuli raised the tray and said, "The peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain are in full bloom. Let's go make peach blossom pastries for the princess. Princess, have you forgotten?"
Zhao Yuanqing recalled and it seemed that this was the case, but she didn't want to eat the peach blossom pastry. It was Liuli who boasted in front of her that the peach blossom pastry was an extremely elegant dessert and that Mr. Cui also liked it, so Zhao Yuanqing wanted to try it.
Then, Liuli dragged Wen Xing to go together to make it. This peach blossom pastry was very troublesome to make and would take at least two hours.
Zhao Yuanqing came to Yuzhen Temple for meditation and only brought two maids, Liuli and Wenxing. Unfortunately, they were not at home today, so Zhao Yuanqing got into trouble.
Liuli walked up to Zhao Yuanqing, raised the tray and said, "Princess, please take a look at this peach blossom pastry I made."
There are six chess piece-sized pastries on the wooden plate, shaped like peach blossoms, very delicate and cute.
Zhao Yuanqing glanced at her twice, showing no interest, and stared at Liuli with burning eyes.
Liuli's heart was pounding, and the uneasiness she felt was even stronger. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Princess, isn't this peach blossom pastry good?"
Zhao Yuanqing waved his hand and threw the tray to the ground, "Not good!"
Liuli was startled and fell to her knees with a plop. "Princess, what did I do wrong? Please tell me!"
Wen Xing also knelt on the ground, "Please forgive me, Princess!"
When Zhao Yuanqing saw Wen Xing, he remembered how she died for him and said, "Wen Xing, it's none of your business. Get up!"
Wen Xing stood up confusedly.
A flash of jealousy flashed in Liuli's eyes, and she said unconvincedly, "Princess, I am only thinking about you, why don't you ask me to get up?"
"How have you ever considered me? Can you explain it in detail?"
"The princess admires Mr. Cui, so I went to inquire about Mr. Cui's hobbies and collect his words and deeds for the princess. Isn't this considering the princess?"
If Liuli had not been Cui Hao's concubine in her previous life, Zhao Yuanqing would still believe her words, but now, Zhao Yuanqing only sneered.
"Really? Are you trying to find out about Cui Hao for me, or are you simply attracted to him and want to hear about him?!"
Liuli was terrified. Could it be that the princess knew something? She quickly kowtowed, "I didn't do it! I dare not! Please, Princess, investigate!"
Wen Xing also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Princess, Liuli would never dare to have such thoughts. How dare a lowly slave like her dream of Mr. Cui? Princess, please understand!"
Little did she know that when Liuli heard the word "lowly slave", her anger grew even stronger. She was just of a lowly birth, but she was not inferior in any other way.
Zhao Yuanqing stared at Liuli coldly until her head was covered in blood. Then he said, "Alright, forget it this time. Get up!"
After saying that, she turned around and entered the house.
Wen Xing stood up to support Liuli, but she shook her hand away and said angrily, "No need for your fake kindness!"
Wen Xing was also a little annoyed, but they grew up together and always had a bit of sisterhood. She pulled Liuli aside and whispered, "Tell me the truth, do you have feelings for Mr. Cui?"
"Princess, you think of me like that too? I tell you, absolutely not!"
"There's no best, Liuli, you must not do anything stupid, otherwise you will lose your life!"
Liuli shook her hand off, "I said no, then no!"
The two whispered a few words, quickly packed up and went into the house. Wen Xing made tea and Liuli made the bed.
Zhao Yuanqing sat at the table, closed her eyes and thought. After a while, a faint fragrance came to her. She opened her eyes and saw Liuli lit a piece of spice and put it in the incense burner.
The name of this spice is agarwood. Liuli said it is Cui Hao's favorite incense, so Zhao Yuanqing also uses it every day.
These spices were brought by the Hu people. During the Daqing Dynasty, when the economy was developed, many Hu people came from the Silk Road, leading camels and carrying spices and rare treasures to Chang'an to sell them to the dignitaries of the Daqing Kingdom.
Zhao Yuanqing admired Cui Hao. In order to win his favor, she inquired about his hobbies and did whatever he did.
But that was in the past. In her previous life, when the Wumeng people tortured her, they would press the lit charcoal directly on her body, burning her into scars. So now when Zhao Yuanqing saw the spices, she only felt a burning pain on her body.
She said, "Destroy it."
Liuli turned around in surprise, "Princess, you don't want to order anymore?"
"No."
Liuli extinguished the incense, then picked up a gold-threaded incense ball, lit a small piece of water benzoin and placed it inside. "Princess, use this. The fragrance is lighter."
Zhao Yuanqing flew into a rage and threw the incense ball to the ground. "Didn't you understand what I said? I'm not going to order any more spices!"
Liuli said unwillingly, "But Princess, Mr. Cui's favorite is the spices of the Hu people. You are so fragrant, Mr. Cui will definitely like you."
"Like your ancestor! Do I need his love? Don't you understand what people are saying?"
Zhao Yuanqing kicked Liuli to the corner of the wall, and she hit the wall with a "bang" sound.
Wen Xing was terrified and said hurriedly, "The princess said she won't light incense, so then don't. Liuli, quickly apologize to the princess!"
She was giving Liuli a way out, fearing that Zhao Yuanqing would kill Liuli.
But strangely, Liuli still didn't give up. She kowtowed and said, "Princess, this is really for your own good. Now all the young ladies in Chang'an City are burning incense. If you don't, won't you fall behind them? Where is your dignity?"
Zhao Yuanqing frowned. Was Liuli willing to sacrifice her life just to make her burn incense? She remembered her previous coma and wondered if there was something strange in the incense. No, she had to take a look.
"Since you care so much about me, I'll spare you today. Give me the incense ball!"
"Yes!"
Liuli was overjoyed. She picked up the incense ball and placed it next to Zhao Yuanqing.
Zhao Yuanqing picked it up and smelled it. It had a faint fragrance, nothing special. Liuli stared at her motionlessly, her heart pounding.
"You two go down, I will rest for a while."
"Yes."
Liuli and Wenxing went out and closed the door.
Zhao Yuanqing took out the spices from the incense burner and incense ball, looked at them for a long time, but could not see anything.
At this time, Zhao Yuanqing knew nothing about spices, and Liuli had the final say on what kind of incense to order.
Later, Zhao Yuanqing learned a little about spices, but only the basics.
Let’s go back to the palace first. There is the Crown Princess in the palace. She knows about spices and can help me take a look.
Zhao Yuanqing picked out some of the spices, wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his arms.
"Somebody come!"
"What do you want, Princess?"
"Pack up and return to the palace!"
"yes! "
Liuli and Wen Xing packed up their things and went to find a carriage, and Zhao Yuanqing returned to the palace.
