“Your Grace, the imperial concubine is coming.” Lyuyou came in and said.
“Imperial concubine?” At this time, Tang Xia thought of Lengmei.
“It’s me.” Zui Linglong walked in lightly. She smiled and made a salute. “Greetings, Your Grace.”
“Please sit down.” When Tang Xia saw Zui Linglong, she became extremely cautious. After saying that, she told people to serve tea. “Why do you come to see me?”
Seeing Zui Linglong, she couldn’t help thinking of a lot of words, such as smiling face tigers, honey-mouthed and dagger-hearted, hiding a dagger in a smile, and so on.
Although she had seen many people and had a lot of experience, she would be exhausted to deal with this kind of femme fatale. If she could, she really wanted to send the guest away and said goodbye to Zui Linglong immediately.
“What are you talking about? Do you mean that if I don’t have anything, I cannot come to see you?” Zui Linglong glanced at Tang Xia and smiled sweetly with a handkerchief covering her mouth.
“Ha-ha, my bad.” Tang Xia smiled awkwardly, but she was depressed and confused. Although she felt bored when she had nothing to do, compared with talking to Zui Linglong, she would rather drink tea while counting the ants.
She could not come to her for no reason. Tang Xia kept hypnotizing and reminding herself that this woman was terrible. No matter what, she could not be deceived by this woman’s sugar-coated shells and sweet words.
“Hey, what kind of tea is this? How fragrant!” Zui Linglong smelled the tea as if she was enjoying it.
Tang Xia glanced at her and said with a reluctant smile, “It is ordinary flower tea.”
With a sigh, Lyuyou was amused by her queen, but she had to restrain. She complained inwardly, “Your Grace, how could you chat like this as if she has never seen it before?”
“Oh, you are really good at this. Maybe someday, you can teach me how to make tea?” Zui Linglong’s hand trembled, but she immediately became calm and the smile on her face was sweeter…
“I didn’t make it. If you like, I can lend the maids to you for some days.”
As time went by, Tang Xia became more impatient. Since she never had a good opinion in Zui Linglong, Tang Xia tried to restrain herself, but she could not keep chatting with her.
“Alas! It seems that you do not like me!” Zui Linglong covered her chest sadly, pressing her eyes with the handkerchief.
“No, you overthought it.” Tang Xia impatiently drank the tea and felt awkward to chat with her!
Zui Linglong looked upset, but she looked at Tang Xia calmly and straightly. She firmly said, “No, I can feel it.”
“Since you can feel it, you should leave quickly!” Tang Xia screamed in her heart while Zui Linglong slowly lifted the cup of tea and took a sip…
“Cough.” Tang Xia coughed, covering her mouth, and glanced at Lyuyou.
Lyuyou felt it and quickly patted Tang Xia’s back. “Oh! Your Grace, are you feeling cold? I’m sorry, but imperial concubine, please leave.”
Zui Linglong put down the cup and put on a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at Tang Xia and said, “So, please take care and I am leaving first.”
“See you.” Tang Xia covered her mouth, waving her hand with a weak look.
“Oh, one more thing I want to say.” When she was sent away, Zui Linglong mysteriously said, “I have a hunch that you and I will be nemisis.”
Then she lifted her feet and lightly left.
“How dare she! What does she mean for that? Did she just start a war against you?” Lyuyou tore the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Zui Linglong’s back sharply and mercilessly.
“I don’t know.” Tang Xia shook her head, looked at Zui Linglong’s thin and enchanting figure with a complex look, and felt confused.
“Forget it, pack up these and let’s go back.” Tang Xia had no mood to feel the sun outside. She waved her hand and left. Her people would clean up.
“Yes.” Lyuyou commanded the eunuchs and palace maids to neatly pack up their things. When they caught up with Tang Xia, she rejected them.
“I want to walk alone.”
Along the palace road, Tang Xia went to the Royal Garden. She sat in the pavilion among the flowers, carefully recalling the words of Zui Linglong.
Tang Xia had a hunch that Zui Linglong didn’t say that for no reason. Today, they had shown the claws to each other. For someone who was silent in ordinary days but seemed to be behind everything, Tang Xia felt terrified.
Just like when she was outside the palace, she could earn herself so much fame, and persuade Chu Tiankuo to marry her. Could such a woman, who was called saintess by people, be a simple little person?
Zui Linglong had framed and slandered her along with Lengmei before, but she was able to protect herself and made Lengmei be blamed. And the rumors…
How could Lengmei draw such a big picture alone and cause such a significant impact!
The more Tang Xia thought about it, the more she felt that Zui Linglong was unpredictable! She must be a cunning and terrible woman! Even if she did not cause the death of Lengmei, her hands could not be clean.
Sighing, Tang Xia felt that she had fallen into a terrible trap.
There were so many dangers outside, but she still could not get the key to advance, and she couldn’t overcome Chu Tiankuo after such a long time. She was stuck here and wasting time!
She had thrown herself into Chu Tiankuo’s arms, and they almost did it, but he had not fallen in love with her! Humph! When he swore and declared ownership of her to everyone, he looked so tough and affectionate! It turned out to be fake! It was all deceptive!
The more she thought, the angrier she became. She tore a flower into pieces angrily, leaving a lot of red petals.
At this moment, Little Orange, who served Chu Tiankuo, came over to find her.
“Yo, Your Grace, I finally find you.” Little Orange came over and took a salute and he waited, bending. When he saw the petals on the ground, he came up and asked with anxiety,
“Who irritated you and made you upset? Who was so bold? Please tell me; I will bring him to you to vent your anger.”
Tang Xia was amused, but she said inwardly, “The one who makes me angry and plays with my feelings, Chu Tiankuo. Can you help me with that?”
Looking at the angry Little Orange with a look of resentment, Tang Xia smiled and dispelled a lot of depression in her heart. “Alright, tell me why are you looking for me?”
“Whoops, I’m so careless that I nearly have forgotten the emperor’s order.” Little Orange deliberately took two slaps and said shamelessly, “His Majesty invites you for dinner.”
Tang Xia fell silent. The person she just swore in her heart asked her to eat. Could she regard this as an apology from him? Tang Xia raised her eyebrows and felt satisfied. Then she went with Little Orange.
However, she didn’t expect that when she entered the door, she saw foreign ministers as well. Tang Xia paused, and then she took a salute calmly to the guests, and then accepted the salute of the foreign minister.
After she sat down, Chu Tiankuo gave an introduction to both sides.
“Oh, this is the queen of Your Majesty. It’s a great honor to see you.” The foreign ministers looked at Tang Xia with amazement, and then they looked down and couldn’t dare to look at her again.
Tang Xia smiled gracefully but felt somewhat inexplicable. She didn’t know what Chu Tiankuo was doing. Why did he call her in during the conversation with the ministers?
Being so elegant, Tang Xia silently sat next to Chu Tiankuo, listening to him and the ministers talking about things. She felt so bored.
Chu Tiankuo and the minister talked happily, and they drank a lot of wine. Tang Xia did not stop them. When Chu Tiankuo stood up, she helped him when he swayed, but something happened suddenly.
“My queen.” Chu Tiankuo was flushed and totally drunk. Looking at Tang Xia in a confused manner, he suddenly hugged her with his arms and pushed her down in the eyes of the public.
They fell to the ground in the exclamation of everyone, but Chu Tiankuo’s big hand was under her head to protect her. His whole body, like a mountain, fell on her heavily, and his sculptural and handsome face attached to hers.
Tang Xia was shocked and almost frozen in an instant. “Oh my god. This is too sexy!”
Her face quickly turned red. When she was about to push Chu Tiankuo, he seemed to be dissatisfied and kissed her on her lips, tilting his head. As if he was punishing her, he kissed her heavily and made a loud sound.
Crash! Some maids, who looked at this scene with stunning looks, could not hold the bottles in their hands, and suddenly dropped them to the ground.
Tang Xia’s face was red like firing charcoal. As if she got help from God, she pushed away Chu Tiankuo and climbed up.
“Hah, haha, Your Majesty and the queen are really in good moods.” Foreign ministers smiled at Tang Xia awkwardly and turned back to exchange looks with their companions as if they were saying, “Yes, I understand. We are all men.”
Tang Xia flushed because of shame. She said something and left people to help before she walked away hurriedly.
However, before long, Chu Tiankuo was sent to her palace by the eunuchs and maids.
“We are sorry, Your Grace. His Majesty had been drunk and calling your name, so we have to send him to you.”
Tang Xia anxiously looked at the eunuchs and maids walking out, and then she had to take off Chu Tiankuo’s clothes by herself.
“I am having a headache.” Chu Tiankuo was drunk, so he muttered in pain.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Xia nervously touched Chu Tiankuo’s forehead. When she just wanted to call someone, Chu Tiankuo suddenly pulled her back. After dizziness, she fell under Chu Tiankuo.
Before she could scream, he covered her mouth. She even had not begun to struggle and he had dragged her into hot sex. She had to give up.
Then, it was a crazy night…
