Chapter 874 (1/2)

After nightfall.

As usual, the maid of honor came in with a incense box and a piece of incense. Wu Qiao, dressed as an ordinary servant girl, stood next to Lian Yueyue, and her eyes fell on the maid of honor.

Suddenly, she walked over with a smile, grabbed the maid's wrist and said with a smile, ”sister maid, let me come and give me the rest.” She could not help but break off the maid's hand and took the two pieces of incense left in her hand.

The palace maid looked at Liang Guifei and Lian Xiangyue in a panic. ”This, this man...” how dare you be so casual in front of her.

But seeing that the imperial concubine and the princess did not say anything, she had to step down and say nothing.

After lighting the incense with a smile, Wu Qiao leaned the box close to the tip of his nose and took a deep breath. The result was good——

”Cough, cough, cough...” she tried too hard and sucked the accumulated incense ash in the box into her nose. As a result, a layer of incense ash was spread on her nose and mouth.

Seeing the ashes on Wu Qiao's face and nose, the maid quickly took out her handkerchief and said, ”I'll wipe it for you.”

”No, no, I'll do it myself.” Wu Qiao took the handkerchief in the maid's hand and wiped his face carelessly.

Lian Xiangyue shook her head and said, ”you, rash, bumped into the mother imperial concubine and didn't apologize quickly.”

Wu Qiao lost his handkerchief in a panic and hurriedly knelt down on his knees. As a result, because he was too reckless, he accidentally bumped into the palace maid. The palace maid was stunned and knelt down with a painful expression on her face.

”Damn the slave, damn the slave!” Wu Qiao was so frightened that he kowtowed quickly, and the innocent palace maids had to kowtow together.

”Just get up. Don't knock. When you go back to Hengqin palace, you'd better go back to your laundry. At first, Princess Ben saw you simple and honest and pulled you to her side, but she didn't want to. You're still stupid. Just quit.”

”Yes.” Wu Qiao stood up with tears of gratitude and went out with the palace maid.

Outside, she began to cry. The palace maid was stunned and asked, ”what are you crying for?”

”Sister Gong, you heard that my princess thought I was stupid and refused to keep me around. I have to go back to the laundry to wash clothes. It's a good day. It hasn't been a few days yet.” As she spoke, she shed tears pitifully. Then she hugged the palace maid and fell on her shoulder. She couldn't help crying.

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, raised her hand, patted her on the shoulder and said, ”don't cry. The princess is kind-hearted. She must be just angry for a moment. When the anger disappears, she will keep you around.”

”Really?” Wu Qiao held her shoulders in both hands and asked excitedly.

The maid of honor flashed a touch of embarrassment on her face, twisted her shoulder, motioned Wu Qiao to take away her hand and said, ”I can't tell whether it's true or false. After all, it's your princess. In short, you don't have to worry too much. I didn't get very angry when I saw the princess just now.”

”Well! Then I'm much more relieved. ” There was a simple and innocent smile on her face.

”Then I'll go first. I have something to do. I can't delay here too long. If I miss something, I'll be punished.” Said the maid in waiting.

”What's your sister's name?” Wu Qiao asked again.

”Lotus and Wuhu.” She answered and left.

As soon as LianWu left, Wu Qiao immediately recovered his usual expression and quickly approached the hall.

”How? See what? ” Lian Xiangyue asked.
