Chapter 40 Pretend to be Xiaolian

Cheng Zifei stopped and watched Sima Tu disguise herself as her. Everything was ready. She let Sima Tu stay here and wait, followed the marks of the drawings and went to the south courtyard.

As shown in the drawing, the only junction of this lotus garden is a courtyard in the south. After passing through an arch, there is a courtyard with red eaves and blue tiles. Cheng Zifei walked over gently. She didn't know which yard it was, but according to her conjecture, it must be the place where Murong Xiuyuan lived.

The yard is beautifully built, which is completely different from the emptiness of the lotus garden. The rows of glazed eaves are colorful and beautiful in the sunshine. Although there are many houses, I haven't seen half a person. Cheng Zifei walked slowly along the corridor under the eaves and listened carefully to the movements in each room, as if there was no sound.

It's really strange. If it's the place where Murong Xiuyuan lives, there should be at least a maid, right? Why is there no one?

Cheng Zifei walked through a corridor and smelled a seductive fragrance of rice, and she accelerated her pace. If there is a good meal, there will be someone. She quickly followed the fragrance of rice and came to a lobby.

The people in the hall were stunned when they saw her. One of the men in blue Confucians stood up, looked at Cheng Zifei and asked strangely, "Xiaolian? Why did you come here today? Didn't you go to the lotus garden to serve the princess?

"Yes." Cheng Zifei's heart turned sharply. Is there any other way out of Heyuan? She only saw this exit and went wrong? Shouldn't Xiaolian come here to bring her food? After a pause for two seconds, she didn't know the people in front of her, only to adapt to the changes. The princess was too bored in the lotus garden, and the food she sent was not suitable. Let me find some delicious food.

One of the young men immediately became shocked: "Well, the princess is really precious! The cook in the prince's courtyard made it. Don't you think it's delicious?

Another good-looking man also answered with a smile and said, "Little Lotus, next time the princess thinks it's inappropriate, will you bring it and exchange it with us? We are all tired of eating in our yard!"

These two speakers are young and only 20 years old, but their bodies and momentum are both first-class. Cheng Zifei looked around secretly and understood where she had broken into. These men are all people with restrained eyes and unique skills. Obviously, this yard should be the place where Murong Xiuyuan is a master.

Is it to prevent people from entering and leaving the lotus garden at will by placing these masters in the place adjacent to the lotus garden? Murong Xiuyuan is really thoughtful! Cheng Zifei praised in her heart, and she already had a plan in her heart. She bowed slightly to the older man who started talking: "I don't know if I'm late? But is there any better food? Do you want me to change my taste for the princess?

The man in charge of the matter pondered for a moment and looked at Cheng Zifei with a little doubt. Cheng Zifei was secretly shocked. Did she say something wrong? In fact, when she came out this time, she thought she could go to Murong Xiuyuan's yard and ask him for a boat or something, not to find food. But when I came here, I encountered such a situation, so I had to randomly say that the food was not suitable.

The man pondered for a while, pointed to a young man in white beside him and ordered, "How can the princess's daughter eat the same coarse food as us? You accompany Miss Xiaolian to the kitchen and ask Aunt Wang to make some delicious things for the princess.

"Yes." The young man in white nodded, smiled at Xiaolian, and gestured, "Miss Xiaolian, come with me."

Cheng Zifei blessed the man again and went out with the man in white without saying a word. She should have thanked him, but she didn't know who the person was in charge and couldn't call him, so she had to salute as a thank you, and she didn't know if the man would be suspicious.

The young man in white didn't say much and didn't say anything all the way. He just took her to the kitchen and asked her to wait outside: "Miss Xiaolian, wait here. I'll just tell Aunt Wang. Or, if the princess has any special requirements, can you talk to the kitchen?"

Cheng Zifei shook her head. She didn't know the names of ancient dishes. How could she order any dishes? Just wait outside. If you can return to Heyuan smoothly this time, you must be alert next time you come out and can't wear it here again.

The young man went into the kitchen and said to the cook Aunt Wang, then turned around and withdrew. She smiled at Cheng Zifei and said, "Miss Xiaolian, why don't you wait here?" I'm going back to eat. I came back late, and they took all the good dishes.

Cheng Zifei replied with a smile, "Thank you."

The man was no longer polite and nodded and left.

Cheng Zifei stood outside the kitchen and smelled the fragrance of vegetables in the kitchen. She was really hungry. As she turned around and looked around, she thought about how to find Murong Xiuyuan and get a boat or something?

She was frowning and suddenly felt someone approaching behind her. Just as I wanted to turn my head, I pressed my body again. Now that she pretends to be Xiaolian, Xiaolian should not be so alert. Gradually, she felt that the man was approaching, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger. The person who approached gave her a very familiar feeling, which was clearly the cold breath of Murong Xiuyuan!

Cheng Zifei secretly shouted that she was bad. Did she pretend to be Xiaolian?

"Xiaolian, does the princess want to try a light meal?"

Murong Xiuyuan's voice was very flat, and there was no joy or anger, but Cheng Zifei felt that it was more difficult to deal with. She hesitated for a moment, turned around and saluted, "See the prince. The princess may have stayed bored in the lotus garden, so she sent slaves to find something else to eat.

"Oh? Is it boring?" Murong Xiuyuan's eyes were tightly locked on Cheng Zifei's face, and he didn't see anything wrong. However, he doesn't know much about the taste of Cheng Zifei. Maybe it's really that woman wants to change her taste, right? Only Xiaolian is familiar with the path in the lotus garden, and he also has many things he doesn't like about this little lotus.

At that moment, Murong Xiuyuan loosened his eyebrows and ordered faintly, "In this case, you can ask the small kitchen to order food for her every day in the future. Don't come here again!" If there is anything in the princess, remember to report it to the Black Hawk at any time.

"Yes." Cheng Zifei responded and saw that Murong Xiuyuan did not like this little lotus. She was relieved and took the opportunity to make her request: "Your Majesty, the weather is hot. The princess wants to go boating in the lotus pond. I don't know if it's okay?"

"She is elegant!" Murong Xiuyuan snorted and stared at her and said coldly, "Let's send the food to the princess first. In the afternoon, I will visit the princess in person."

Cheng Zifei was shocked, and the blessing should be: "Yes." He took the food basket handed over from the kitchen and went back along the original road.

Wait for Cheng Zifei to go far away, Murong Xiuyuan frowned and walked to the yard she had just passed by and asked the man in charge, "Cui Hong, what do you think is wrong with Xiaolian?"

Cui Hong's heart trembled and bowed and said, "Xiaolian, although she has served the Snow Concubine for many years and usually doesn't come out in the lotus garden, we have seen it when we come out occasionally. Xuefei doesn't like us stinky men the most, so Xiaolian rarely comes to our yard. It's surprising that they will come to us to beg for food today.

Murong Xiuyuan heard the word "Xuefei" and hummed, "What's so strange about this? She is serving the princess now, not the old woman! The princess wants to change her taste, and there is nothing abnormal.

"Yes." Cui Hong's head was lower. He looked at the tip of Murong Xiuyuan's shoes and whispered, "It's your subordinates who are too worried. Please punish him."

Murong Xiuyuan looked impatient and hummed, "When will I punish you? It's good to be careful. But this little lotus, I didn't see anything strange. In the afternoon, I will visit the princess in the lotus garden. You can go with me. If there is something wrong with Xiaolian, the old woman must have left a password.

Cui Hong answered respectfully: "Yes. There are many treasures in Xuefei's yard, but they are all handed over to Xiaolian to keep. Isn't it too weak?

"You don't have to worry about this. You know Xiaolian well. In the afternoon, see what's wrong with her. The old woman has not appeared since she disappeared. This time, Xiaolian has a mutiny, and maybe the old woman has come back!" Murong Xiuyuan's expression was extremely disgusted, as if he hated Wen Xue.

Cui Hong dared not speak any more and bowed his head to answer.

Sima Tu was in the hospital for a long time and never saw Cheng Zifei come back. He couldn't help but be anxious. On the one hand, he was worried about Cheng Zifei, and on the other hand, he was worried about taking water beads. A man couldn't sit still and ran outside to wait. While in a hurry, I saw Xiaolian disguised as Cheng Zifei, coming with a food basket in her hand.

Sima Tu greeted it with joy, took the basket and said, "How about it? Are you all right? Did you get back the food? It smells so good!"

Cheng Zifei smiled, and there was a little more softness on Xiaolian's face: "It's okay, don't worry. Let's eat first. After eating, we have to prepare.

"What are you going to prepare after eating? Have you already brought the boat? Sima Tu opened the food basket in surprise and put it on the table one by one: "It smells so good. Cheng Cheng, you are awesome. You got so much delicious food as soon as you went out!"

"Don't be happy too early." Cheng Zifei handed him chopsticks and sat down. She frowned and said, "In the afternoon, Murong Xiuyuan will come here to see the princess. Don't show anything. I pretend to be Xiaolian and can get there, and the princess you pretend to be can also get there.

Sima Tu's hand holding chopsticks immediately stopped, and his face stiffened: "Is this the prince of the palace you mentioned by Murong? Then we'd better eat quickly and change our makeup after eating! It's better for you to be the princess yourself.
