The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 266 Plum Branches

Fortunately, it was winter and the clothes were thick, otherwise it would be embarrassing to go out for a walk in those gauze skirts because the summer clothes were thin.

After getting the clothes ready, Qin Liuse took the maid outside to pick the newly opened plum blossoms.

Originally, Qin Liuse wanted to fold it herself, but Qingqing and the others didn't want her to stand on the stool and stopped her.

Qin Liuse could only direct them from below, "Pick off a few branches that are in better bloom. It's cold over there, pick some over there to add some life."

Qin Liuse and his servants made quite a lot of noise in the yard, which attracted all the maids and eunuchs in the yard.

Some were standing on the veranda, others on the steps in the yard, all watching to see what they were about to do.

Qingqing stretched out her hand, stood on tiptoe, and finally reached the wintersweet branch.

I moved them to several places and picked down a few of the best-looking ones.

Zijin was already holding a bottle in his hand, so Qingqing inserted the plum branch she had picked into the white porcelain bottle, then jumped down, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright! We can go now."

Qin Liuse nodded and led Qingqing and Zijin out.

As they were walking on the palace road, soon Aunt Mingyue caught up with them from behind.

Looking at Aunt Mingyue, Aunt Mingyue nodded to Qin Liuse, indicating that things had been done.

When they were in a less crowded place, Aunt Mingyue leaned close to her ear and said, "The word has been spread, I'm afraid they will take the bait soon."

Qin Liuse curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, then led Qingqing, Zijin and others straight to the northwest corner of the imperial city.

Qingqing was holding the vase filled with plum blossoms and walking behind Qin Liuse.

Along the way, whenever there was no one around, she would discuss this quietly with Zijin. In fact, Qingqing was the more anxious, "Zijin, do you think they will take the bait?"

Zijin didn't show it on his face, but he was anxious inside, afraid that they wouldn't take the bait.

Qin Liuse walked a half step slower, smiled and said to them, "This is called Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing to take the bait will be caught. If it doesn't work this time, let's try again next time."

Qin Liuse has always been open-minded.

As they walked, Aunt Mingyue said to them, "We have to walk slowly and give them some time."

Qin Liuse laughed after hearing this. Maybe this was the truth.

So he slowed down his pace, and when he went to the northwest corner, he turned and took a look around Zhou Cairen's house.

I brought her some supplements. In about one or two months, Zhou Cairen is about to give birth, so she has hardly gone out in recent times.

She didn't have that many sisters in the palace, so she was very happy that Qin Liuse came to see her.

However, Qin Liuse had something on her mind that she hadn't yet done, and she couldn't sit for too long. After saying a few words, she led the maids and continued to walk towards the northwest.

There is a Ci'en Temple in the northwest, but on the way to Ci'en Temple, you must pass by the Cold Palace.

When they were almost at the cold palace, Qingqing and Zijin were very nervous.

Qin Liuse walked while touching her belly and praying in her heart, hoping that the baby in her belly would bless her this time and make her successful in one go.

I can’t say, maybe the baby in my belly sensed it.

Qin Liuse walked to the door of the cold palace and stopped at the door for a while. When she was looking around, she heard a voice from behind, "Who is here? How dare you disobey the emperor's will? Are you going to visit the concubine who committed a crime?"

Qin Liuse faced the door of the cold palace with a smile on her face, but the moment she turned around, she regained her indifferent expression.

Qin Liuse turned around and looked at the eunuch from the Shanggong Bureau who was walking towards them aggressively and wanted to capture them.

He smiled and said, "What are you talking about, eunuchs? Who said we are going to this cold palace?"

The eunuchs, who had received a tip-off and were about to catch the perpetrators red-handed, looked at each other in surprise for a moment.

"Zhaoyi wants to go to the cold palace to visit Liu Baolin, so what is she doing here?"

Qin Liuse walked towards them slowly, pointed in the direction of Ci'en Temple and said, "We were just going to Ci'en Temple to give the plum blossom branch in this bottle to the nun. When we passed the cold palace, we felt a little tired because of our big belly, so we stayed for a while to rest."

"I didn't go in, how can you accuse me of going to the cold palace?"

It is possible that this person has not yet stepped into the cold palace. Without solid evidence, there is really no way to arrest him.

Several eunuchs looked a little embarrassed. They were too anxious and spoke without waiting for anyone to come in.

However, Qin Liuse had not originally planned to go in. He was just acting as a bait to lure out the spies in Zhaoyang Palace.

She had guessed long ago that the person behind the scenes was very smart and cunning, and would not easily show up in person to catch them.

He hadn't had much hope of staying here in the first place, hoping that it would work in one go, so when he saw that only a few eunuchs came, Qin Liuse was not discouraged.

After speaking to them, he took his leave and gave a few purses to the eunuchs.

The eunuchs were a little amused and helpless. They came here to arrest someone, but they didn't expect to end up receiving the purse of a nobleman.

However, for a while, everyone had a very good impression of Qin Zhaoyi. They didn't expect that even though they almost wronged her, she was still so kind and gave them gifts.

So on the way back, I only said good things.

Qin Liuse wasn't lying when she said she wanted to go to Ci'en Temple, she really wanted to see the nun.

He did not go there and did not stay for long. After giving the plum branch to the nun and burning incense, he immediately set off back to Zhaoyang Palace.

She walked slowly along the way. The imperial physician told her that she should get a proper amount of exercise every day. Qin Liuse walked all the way, thinking that walking back and forth like this today would fully satisfy her exercise needs for today.

When they returned to Zhaoyang Palace, Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Baoer had already caught the spy.

Qin Liuse and the others had just left, so the two of them pretended to go out as well.

Sure enough, the spy went out to spread the news immediately.

As soon as Qin Liuse walked in, Xiao Fuzi ordered people to close and lock the door of Zhaoyang Palace to prevent anyone from running out.
