Chapter 70 (2/2)
The reason for his actions was unknown.
“Everyone may sit.” Fu RuoQing was indeed a beautiful woman. When those pair of seductive eyes stare at you, they seemed to be inviting something. However, if you looked carefully at her eyes, you’d see that they were without any waves and were carrying some kind of profound secret.
Jing Yue didn’t want to be noticed by the Consort G.o.ddess. She searched for a seat at the farthest back to sit before hanging her head down in silence as if she was transparent.
Fu RuoQing leisurely caressed the crease on her cuff and said, “Today, I’ve invited everyone to come here. Firstly, because there is a batch of scented tea sent as a new tribute in the palace. The flavor is pretty good so I took this tea out and let everyone have a taste. As for the second reason, naturally, to see how everyone’s studies in palace etiquettes are.”
“Many thanks for Consort G.o.ddess’ favor.” Everyone bowed and said.
“Someone! Take the tea.” Fu RuoQing slightly raised her white hand. Those cardamom-painted fingers in particular, really attracted everyone’s gazes.
A group of extremely beautiful maids entered and offered the tea. Everyone was stunned by their beauty when they saw those maids.
A maid had wanted to pour the tea for Fu RuoQing, however, she lifted her hand to block the maid. She lifted her eyes and swept her gaze over everyone before clearly saying, “Who can come and pour the tea for me?” Once Fu RuoQing’s words landed, everyone’s eyes were showing happiness.
Everyone sat, each straightening their backs. In their hearts, they were looking forward to be called by Consort G.o.ddess.
“Jing Yue, come here and pour the tea for me.” Originally, Jing Yue was still trying to find out what kind of scented tea the tea was, she had wanted to open her mouth and ask Ning XiangYuan beside her when Fu RuoQing suddenly called her name.
“Me?” Jing Yue pointed at her own nose. She lifted her gaze and saw Fu RuoQing wearing a gentle smile staring at her. Jing Yue suddenly felt helpless, despite hiding far at the back, why did she still not let her go and continue to bite?
