The days passed like this.

Since the little mute became a legitimate person in the East Palace, her waist has also straightened up.

Qi Anze specially asked her to serve Qiao Xi, so that Qiao Xi would worry about her being bullied every day.

"Liu Su, if I eat and sleep like this every day, will I turn into a pig?"

Qiao Xi looked at the little mute showing off his handkerchief and put his chin in his hands.

The little mute waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she was the best and most beautiful person.

Qiao Xi waved her hand with a smile, picked up the embroidered handkerchief in front of her, looked at the lifelike mandarin ducks on it, and sighed unconsciously:

"Liu Su, if you have such skills, why don't you go to Embroidery Pavilion? I heard that the embroidery silver there is also very rich?"

Looking at the little mute who was about to kneel down again, Qiao Xi waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm not trying to drive you away, I'm just saying that you can make money with this craft."

Originally, this was a lesson left for her by her mother-in-law, but she had to protect her host every day and really didn't have time, so she asked the little mute to help. I didn't expect her to be so powerful.

Little Mute: "My mother gave this to me when she was still alive. Since my father sold it to Jingxuan Pavilion, I haven't embroidered it for a long time."

Qiao Xi held her hand and signaled her not to gesture at Jingxuan Pavilion.

"Your father doesn't know much about things either. With your skillful skills, you should be among the top three in Xiu Pavilion."

The little mute smiled and shook his head.

"Miss Qiao, Your Highness, please come over." Qiu Yue, the maid beside the prince, stood at the door and said.

Qiao Xi nodded, "Let's go, Liusu, let's go see what delicious food there is at His Highness the Prince's place."

Seeing the little mute packing, she put the things down and said, "Just put it here. You will continue to show off when you come back soon."

She didn't care what Qiuyue said was against the rules, she took the little mute's hand and jumped out of the door.

About two people turned around the corridor and could not see the pretty figure before a figure entered Qiao Xi's room.

After looking at the embroidery on the table, he turned around and went out.

lobby,

"Sir," Qiao Xi was stopped by the person behind him before he could say anything, "Qiao Xi meets His Highness the Crown Prince."

After making a nondescript salute, Josie sat on the chair and ate the cake.

Qi Anze: "..."

"Get ready, we are going to Jiangnan tomorrow."

"Didn't I say before that I didn't need you to go?" Qiao Xi asked doubtfully.

"The amount of rainfall in Jiangnan this time is unprecedented in previous years. My father was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it, so he sent me to provide support."

Qiao Xi said "Oh" and then thought of something, "Then what will happen to Liusu if I'm not here?"

The servants in the mansion are all snobbish. Qiao Xi's new arrival makes everyone wary because of Qi Anze's favoritism. After all, Qiao Xi's life-saving grace is very likely to become their new master.

But the little mute is different. She is obviously inferior to others in everything, but she is arranged to be a first-class maid. How can the little maid be willing to accept it after so many years, so everyone is running against her overtly and covertly.

Looking at the little girl with a sad face, Qi Anze reluctantly gave a solution.

"We must not take her with us on this trip, otherwise the servants in the palace will complain to the steward again. Well, my mother has recently become obsessed with making embroidered bags, and she just needs a careful girl."

"That's great. Tassel's female embroiderers are particularly powerful, not inferior to the embroiderers from Xiuge Pavilion."

The two of them decided where the little mute would go in just a few words.

On the way back, looking at the unhappy little mute, Qiao Xi comforted him,

"If you can win the favor of the Queen, you don't have to continue to be a maid. The embroiderer can be freed from slavery. Isn't this what your mother has always wanted?"

The little mute nodded, went back and simply packed up his things before leaving with the nuns in the palace.

Looking at the carriage getting further and further away, Qiao Xi touched his chin and asked doubtfully,

"How can the host be so sure that she is the boss of the Peace Society who is behind the scenes of the mysterious dragon?"

"Actually, I'm not sure. I've only seen a situation where I felt that a little girl with no martial arts skills would be uneasy in the territory of the Anhehui.

At that time, after guessing my identity, the first person to enter my house was not the top guy but the cleaning girl."

The first time he saw this little mute, he felt something was not right.

Too quiet, without any curiosity at this age.

"But if she is really...why didn't the madam take her with him when he escaped that day?"

"There are two explanations. One is that this is their plan. Even if I don't take her back home that day, she will find a way;

The second is...the madam doesn't know her true identity."

A few days ago, Qiao Xi was shocked when she learned about Qi Anze's guess.

The original text describes the boss behind the Anhehui as a ruthless femme fatale.

But this is not consistent with the little mute's situation.

"Don't worry, my mother is very knowledgeable about women. Even powerful women will have their prototypes revealed in front of her."

Josie nodded, she believed it.

The original text has a very high evaluation of the host's mother, the princess of the previous dynasty, and the queen of the current dynasty. She is called the female Zhuge of Huaqi Kingdom.

There is one weakness, and of course it is also fatal - she is a love brain.

The next day,

The two of them took two maids and three bodyguards, and before the sun came out, they sat on a carriage and set off on the road to the south of the Yangtze River.

Because he got up too early, Josie felt drowsy along the way.

Qi Anze looked at the girl who kept banging her head on the window frame, moved to the side, and motioned to the maid Qiuyue to sit next to her and take care of her.

He closed his eyes and meditated while the maids pursed their lips and smiled, recalling in his mind the letter written by his mother to him.

This girl is someone your grandmother and I carefully selected for you in the early years. If you don't like her, don't slack off. If she doesn't like you, don't force her.

What is the secret about this girl that makes the mother say this just after seeing the portrait?

…

"Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao, wake up, we are at the inn."

The girl opened her eyes in a daze, opened the curtains, looked at the rather luxurious inn outside, and immediately opened her eyes wide.

The food in this place is the most delicious.

The two of them went directly into Tianzihao's room. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes in front of them, Qiao Xi excitedly introduced,

"This squirrel mandarin fish is a famous dish in Yucheng. The host is great. You can try it."

Qi Anze paused and opened his mouth, but the girl retracted her hand, lowered her head and rummaged through the small bag she always carried, looking for something.

"I found it. When I left, grandma reminded me to use this silver needle to test the poison before eating." Then she started to test the dishes one by one.

After a moment, looking at the still shining silver needle, she nodded with satisfaction,

"It's ready to eat."

The two maids waiting nearby covered their mouths and snickered. In fact, this meal had been tried three times before it was placed on the table.
