I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Even though Liu Zhirou had never met Chuntao's parents, she was more or less familiar with the cruelty of this era. But at this moment, she couldn't help but feel sad for the innocent girl beside her.

But what is more important now is to figure out why the girl who calls herself Cuizhu came to Chuntao and told her the news.

Liu Zhirou's eyes were very gloomy, as if a storm was gathering. She hated trouble, but trouble always appeared in her life one after another.

But she still calmed down and comforted Chuntao with kind words before letting Tanxiang send her downstairs to rest.

In the past, most of the contacts with the Liu family were handled by Chuntao. As a servant of the Liu family, it was easier for her to communicate with the family.

However, after such an incident, Chuntao's mood was obviously very unstable. Liu Zhirou did not dare to take any risks, so she had to call in Ruyi, the palace maid who had been arranged to sweep outside.

This Ruyi had served Liu Zhirou in the Weiyang Palace. At that time, she did not trust the maid assigned to her by Concubine Xian very much, so she did not use this person.

But at the moment, it seems that this little girl is smart but has no other options, so some less important things can perhaps be left to her.

Ruyi was called in and felt extremely nervous.

Ever since she followed Liu Zhirou, she knew that Liu Zhirou was no ordinary master, and was definitely not the naive and innocent woman who relied solely on luck as rumored in the palace.

So during this period of time, she has been very careful. Her and her sister Jixiang's identities are quite awkward. If they are Xianfei's people, Xianfei will not care about them. If they are Liu Zhirou's people, the other party will not trust them.

Liu Zhirou saw Ruyi come in and didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

"Your servant greets the queen!" Ruyi immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Get up!" Liu Zhirou said indifferently.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Ruyi stood up.

"I have something for you to do. This thing may slightly violate the palace rules, but it is not very dangerous. If you do it well, I will reward you handsomely. If you do not do it well, you will definitely be punished." Liu Zhirou said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, if you have any orders, I will do it even if I die!"

Liu Zhirou's recent behavior reflects one fact: she does not trust Ruyi that much, so she put such an obviously taboo handle into the hands of Ruyi, a palace maid who might be a subordinate of Concubine Xian.

In this way, if she could successfully complete the task assigned by Liu Zhirou, she might be able to find another ladder to climb up.

Liu Zhirou looked at Ruyi's expression and knew very well that this Ruyi was not a simple little girl, but it was precisely this complicated side of her that she was attracted to.

Liu Zhirou tried a few more times casually to make sure that this guy would not sell her out over a small problem. Then she told her the identity of the eunuch bribed by the Liu family and asked her to deliver a letter written by Liu Zhirou herself to the Liu family.

This kind of thing is against palace rules, but almost every concubine does this, and the emperor has always turned a blind eye and has never punished anyone for this matter.

When Ruyi heard this, she immediately felt relieved and agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, you can go down now!" Liu Zhirou waved her hand.

Ruyi retreated respectfully, and Liu Zhirou then picked up the cup on the table and drank tea.

At this moment, light footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside, and then a person walked in from the door.

Liu Zhirou put down the teacup in her hand and looked up. It was Tan Xiang who had just sent Chuntao back.

Tan Xiang was actually a very useful maid, but she was sent by the Queen Mother after all. Liu Zhirou was not sure whose side she was on, so she did not dare to tell her many confidential matters.

But this kind of news itself cannot be concealed.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Liu Zhirou asked calmly.

Tan Xiang glanced at Liu Zhirou, then walked up to her and bowed, saying respectfully, "Madam, a eunuch just came over and said he was here to deliver something."

Liu Zhirou raised her eyebrows. The old lady and Zhao had just left, so why did Liu Ming send someone to deliver something? But she still said calmly: "What are you sending?"

"Two pieces of cloth were sent, saying they were for making clothes for you," Tan Xiang replied.

Liu Zhirou's expression changed slightly, and then she nodded.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can go down first!" Liu Zhirou waved her hand.

Tan Xiang bowed and left.

After she left, Liu Zhirou picked up the book next to her and started reading. Her mind had already flown elsewhere and she didn't even notice the hesitant look on Tan Xiang's face when she came in just now.

After a while, Ruyi came in with a tray.

"Your Majesty, this is the cloth that the eunuch just sent over!" Ruyi put the tray on the table.

There were two pieces of cloth in the tray, one blue and one pink.

"Has the letter been sent?" Liu Zhirou asked casually.

"It has been sent out." Ruyi lowered his head respectfully.

Liu Zhirou reached out and touched the fabric, and was immediately surprised. Although the fabric was ordinary, it was soft and silky, and felt very comfortable. The color was also very beautiful, and one could tell at a glance that it was excellent material.

Liu Zhirou carefully examined the two pieces of cloth, and then asked Ruyi: "What do you think of these two pieces of cloth?"

Ruyi looked at Liu Zhirou and whispered, "Although these two pieces of cloth are ordinary goods, the workmanship is very exquisite. They should be top-grade goods, and the price must be high!"

"Is that so... Then tell me, how much are these two pieces of cloth worth?" Liu Zhirou asked with a smile.

"If it is just a piece of cloth, it is of course not worth much, but the cloth sent by this eunuch is obviously used to make clothes. The material of this cloth is very rare, it should be made of a rare silk in southern Xinjiang. Although this kind of cloth is not the top silk, it is also the best among the best, and the price should be very high!" Ruyi analyzed seriously, and she smiled shyly when she said this: "I used to be the attacker in the previous game, so I can recognize some cloth."

Liu Zhirou nodded secretly in her heart. This Ruyi was truly amazing and quite knowledgeable and versatile.

"I've taken a look at these two pieces of cloth. They're very suitable for me, but I don't know if the size is right. You go out first. I need to measure the cloth. I haven't practiced for so many days, so my hands must be unfamiliar with it." Liu Zhirou said casually.

"Then I'll go first!" Ruyi turned around and went out, closing the door.

After Ruyi left, Liu Zhirou quickly shook out the two pieces of cloth and pieced the patterns together in various ways. After training, her hands were very fast and she quickly realized the message Liu Ming wanted to convey to him.

Something really happened at home.
