Chapter 428 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
I saw the new female official getting closer and closer holding a melon.
Shi Li was stunned and felt the hairs on her body stand up.
This can't be a coincidence!
A few hours ago, she was craving for honeydew melon cakes.
As a result, only a few hours later, the newly appointed female official brought over fresh honeydew melon?
there is only one truth!
She was being watched.
"Your Highness, my name is Xin Tang. I am a female official who has just passed the selection process and will be working in Chengyang Palace in the future."
The pretty girl had no idea what Shi Li was thinking, and she knelt down and saluted politely.
Shi Li looked at her with difficulty, "Melon..."
"The Western Regions have just sent tribute to the palace, and I just happened to bring it for you, Your Majesty."
Xin Tang was calm and collected. He looked up at Shi Li and said softly, "It's cold today, and honeydew melons are cold in nature. Your Majesty, please don't eat too much."
Threat!
This is definitely a threat!
Shi Li narrowed her eyes and looked at Mi Gua as if she was looking at a time bomb.
This honeydew melon was definitely used by Qi Changchuan to warn herself not to be extravagant and wasteful, and not to think that she could imitate Yang Guifei and have lychees delivered thousands of miles away just because she became the empress dowager.
She doesn't want to eat honeydew melon and honeydew melon cake anymore...
After being melancholy for a while, Shi Li forced a smile to Xin Tang.
"Okay, the Ai family knows."
Then, Shi Li glanced at the palace maid standing beside her and said, "Your Majesty has been working hard all day. Please take the melon to His Majesty on my behalf."
The smile on Xin Tang's face froze instantly.
The maid also showed a look of surprise, "Your Majesty is not..."
The maid was halfway through her words when Shi Li gave her a warning look and she reluctantly walked up to Xin Tang and took the melon.
When Xin Tang handed over the melon, he glanced at Shi Li silently, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Shi Li sat on the chaise longue very calmly, watching the melon handover ceremony, as if she saw her bright future.
Look how capable she is. She gave the honeydew melon to Zhou Chenghao, so that no one can find anything to blame her for.
After sending the time bomb away, Shi Li finally felt relieved.
I was tired of watching the snow, so I just let down the curtain and lay down to sleep.
Only when she was eating and sleeping did Shi Li feel like a pampered queen mother.
How could she know that Zhou Chenghao's mouth twitched when he saw the honeydew melon brought by the palace maid.
How can he be...
"Your Majesty, please accept this token of Her Majesty's kindness." The palace maid was very good at speaking.
Zhou Chenghao looked at her silently, and finally nodded helplessly, "Okay."
In Chengyang Palace, the young empress dowager fell into a deep sleep accompanied by the rustling sound of snow pressing down on bamboos.
It seemed like a long dream.
The dream is full of fragments of my childhood, scattered here and there.
When I woke up, I had forgotten everything in the dream.
Shi Li sat up with the help of the bed, and immediately a fox fur coat that smelled fragrant and warm appeared on her shoulders.
At the same time, Xin Tang said gently: "Your Majesty, be careful not to catch a cold. Wait a moment before getting up."
Isn't this a bit too gentle and thoughtful?
Shi Li turned around and saw her former palace maid standing not far away with a smile on her face. She did not even rush forward and was speechless again.
Silly girl, do you know that your position is about to be lost?
Who can resist such a sugar-coated bullet?
[It seems that Xintang treats the anchor very attentively. What if the anchor is wrong? ]
[I agree with the above, the anchor should not be paranoid, you are not a threat to Qi Changchuan at all~]
[Host, let's just be a good mascot. No one will want to talk to you, don't panic~]
Shi Li: I really would thank you!
After relaxing on the soft bed for a while, Shi Li got up and it was time for dinner.
There are only two things left in life: eating and sleeping.
When I walked to the table, I saw a plate of honeydew melon crisps neatly placed among the many dishes.
She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help it and secretly looked at Xin Tang.
She was washing her hands and preparing to serve the food, and did not notice Shi Li's peeping.
Could it be... that I am really overthinking it?
Qi Changchuan didn't mean anything against her?
Was yesterday a misunderstanding?
Shi Li finally began to have some doubts, and hesitantly sat down, saying softly: "I am dining alone, so next time there is no need to be so extravagant, and you can use half as many dishes as possible."
Xin Tang happened to be walking over with his hands cleaned, and nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Your Majesty, please see what you like and have the kitchen prepare it tomorrow. The rest can be removed."
The girl's voice was pleasant and gentle. Shi Li felt relieved when she heard it, and became more and more certain that she had been overthinking before.
however.
The next day, it was the turn of the ladies from both the inner and outer courts to enter the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager. The facts dealt her a heavy blow.
