This scenery made her feel a lot clearer, after entering the Shao Hall, she had someone prepare hot water for bathing, sat down and rubbed her eyebrows, Si Wei brewed tea and handed it to her, she took it and casually tasted a few mouthfuls, put it on the table, hooked her lips, "This afternoon, find some time to send the prepared gift boxes to each institute with Si Yu, I heard that your family is in Cen State, take the opportunity to go back and visit."

  Si Wei was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and said with joy, "Thank you, Consort Ce, I'm deeply grateful!"

  At this time, the hot water was almost ready. Chu Lianruo had Si Wei serve her as she bathed, and afterwards, when she got dressed and went to the bedside, she said to Si Wei behind her, "As long as you do your best, in the future it won't just be these small favors."

  Si Wei heard this and said firmly, "I have read some books. The concubine was unwilling to marry the King of Feathers at that time and ran away from home. I felt desperate about my future, so I couldn't help but feel resentful when I was arranged to serve by the concubine's side. But now, the concubine has made me deeply convinced. I will definitely serve the concubine well and have no second thoughts!"

  At that time, Si Wei thought it was the concubine who was scolding her. It wasn't until much later, when she looked back on it, that she understood what the words meant.

  Chu Lian listened to the plea without any particular expression, only saying, "I need you to help me with something." She leaned in close and whispered a few words in her ear.

  Si Wei bowed his head respectfully and carefully, then bent down, "This matter will be handled properly by the slave, you must be tired too, let the slave serve you to rest first." After Chu Lian lay down, he put down the gauze curtain and quietly retreated.

  Chu Lian's body was weak and tired, but her mind was exceptionally clear. She thought a lot, unknowingly falling asleep, and when she woke up it was already dusk. She sat up, feeling dry mouth and throat, and her words were slightly hoarse, "Come in."

  The silk screen outside was thinking of fish, and from behind the landscape painting screen, a maid walked over, "Concubine, you're awake. I'll help you get up."

  "Ah, let someone pour a cup of tea first." Si Yu replied, turned around and went outside to instruct. Chu Lian Ruo lifted the embroidered brocade quilt, got out of bed, and Si Yu had already walked in, picked up the clothes prepared on the small table by the bed, and waited for Chu Lian Ruo to dress.

  After she finished dressing, Mei Zhuang brought in tea and bowed slightly, "Concubine, please have some tea."

  Chu Lian glanced at Mei's delicate and elegant appearance, saying, "Put it on the dressing table."

  Responding with a sound, Mei Zhuang then put the tea cup on the dresser and stepped down.

  While combing her hair, Chu Lian picked up the tea and took a few sips, paused for a moment, "Who brewed this tea?"

  Si Yu thought it was the tea that wasn't brewed well, and since she was punished that time, she became extra careful in her words and actions. She replied softly, "It's usually Si Wei who brews the tea, but at noon Si Wei went out, so it should be Mei Zhuang who brewed it. If Ce Fei doesn't like the taste, I'll have someone re-brew a cup."

  "It's not necessary." Chu Lian put down the teacup, not because it wasn't good, but because it was too good. She subconsciously fiddled with the coral earrings, and Mei Zhuo's skilled massage technique combined with today's tea, after a while, she raised a faint smile that seemed to imply something.

  The candlelight in the room was dim and flickering, she glanced at the deep blue sky outside the window, if it were as she thought, some things would be twice the result with half the effort.

  The next day, Chulian had her early meal. Everything in Xunzhou was exquisite, including breakfast. She was having silver ginkgo porridge when Haitang came in and said, "Concubine, Madam Meng has arrived."
