Lin Chunhuan, as the ace strategist of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, is just one last reincarnation away from accumulating enough points to return to the real world.
But this final one... ...
What's more, this high-quality opposite sex had a closer, savior-like intersection with Dong Ling'er.
How could you not like this!
But the fact is, no matter how outstanding the Third Prince is, even if it is just a life-saving favor.
Dong Ling'er can appreciate it, feel grateful, and even work like a slave for the Third Prince to repay his kindness. There is nothing wrong with that. The problem is?
No matter how great the kindness is, it is not worth her using her own feelings and the rest of her life to repay it.
As long as she doesn't like him, no matter whether he is a prince or a eunuch, she doesn't have to force herself to give her feelings.
Lin Chunhuan also didn't like Xiao Cen's so-called balancing.
But she disliked the arrogance of those in power even more.
Who stipulated that a maidservant must accept the prince's feelings?
What bullshit.
Fortunately, they had more important things to discuss today, so they did not discuss too much about the third prince's feelings, which were suppressed as soon as they showed signs of growth.
Xiao Cen briefly recounted what happened in the imperial study later.
Although she didn't experience it on the spot, overall, it was not much different from what Lin Chunhuan imagined. Lin Chunuan claimed that everything was instructed by her elder sister, which made it even easier for Xiao Jinan.
He was Xiao Cen's adopted son and lived and ate in the palace. It sounded reasonable to say that all his actions were under Xiao Cen's orders.
If these two people only knew how to attack and attack, but didn't know anything about Xiao Cen, maybe they would have succeeded today.
"Xiao Jinan said that he contacted the Third Prince privately on my orders, and he was immediately scolded by the Third Prince. After all, the Third Prince had accompanied me to rescue Miss Dong yesterday, and I didn't even know who he was at that time."
"I didn't even know there was a new prince in the palace."
Lin Chunhuan raised an eyebrow when he heard this. "So, the Emperor is just letting it go? Just releasing everyone and pretending nothing ever happened?"
"Originally, Xiao Jinan and Lin Chunuan were both worthy enough to be imprisoned, but Lin Chunuan was somewhat evil and created something called a firearm, which was highly valued by the Emperor. She then personally asked the Emperor for Xiao Jinan."
"Everything in the court and the palace is a mess."
Xiao Cen sighed helplessly.
That night was not peaceful.
The two talked a lot in bed, such as how this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Qian and why Concubine Qian would appear there. However, the emperor was now on guard against Xiao Cen, and even though they knew many things, they were helpless and could only take things one step at a time.
But Lin Chunhuan still didn't expect that only a few days after she entered the palace that day, the snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped. She took Dong Ling'er, who had recovered a little, to make tea in the yard.
The gurgling sound of water accompanied by the sound of melting snow is quiet but pleasant.
Qiu Shuang walked forward from the courtyard holding a hand warmer and slowly squatted beside Lin Chunhuan, "Princess, the housekeeper said there is a child outside who wants to see you."
"The child was wearing a badge from the Eastern Palace, but didn't say which master's orders he was following. The housekeeper was undecided and didn't dare to let him in rashly. So he sent someone to ask if he wanted to see the child. If he didn't want to see the child, he had the doorman drive the child away and pretend nothing happened."
Since the last time I entered the palace, the relationship between Prince Pingyang's Mansion and the Eastern Palace has become a little strange.
Although they were not close, Xiao Cen still supported the prince as always in the court.
But as for closeness, the palace has not accepted any invitations to the Eastern Palace in the past few days, no matter whether it is a formal banquet or a private party for female relatives, there is no correspondence at all.
This scene left many people who were watching a little confused.
Lin Chunhuan knew that Xiao Cen was doing this for the emperor to see. It was impossible to make the emperor suspicious. He wanted to temporarily stabilize his position and at least get through this snowstorm.
Then I can only temporarily turn myself into a lone minister.
Now suddenly a child from the Eastern Palace came, whether to meet him or not, even Lin Chunhuan was a little at a loss.
Although this is just a task for her, every choice she makes will determine her future direction. She doesn't care what will happen to Xiao Cen in the future.
But Xiao Mo is the flesh that fell from her body, it is impossible for her to not care about him at all.
If possible, she still wants to leave a better living environment for her son.
"Did the person who came here give his name?"
"Yes." Qiu Shuang nodded and said, "It is said that his name is Wuji, a boy in his teens."
Unfortunately, even after hearing the name, Lin Chunhuan still had no impression of it. Adhering to the principle of less trouble is more trouble, he was about to ask Qiu Shuang to send a message to drive the person away, but Dong Ling'er coughed twice and said, "Let's meet him."
"The situation is tense right now. Since this person dared to come here openly, no matter what his purpose is, he must be allowed in. Otherwise, it won't just be that the prince is being cold to everyone, but that our palace is afraid of the Eastern Palace."
"At most, if that person has ulterior motives, we have to chase him out with a big broom in front of everyone."
Although Dong Ling'er's body has not recovered yet, her brain has recovered quickly.
Lin Chunhuan believed that although she had been to so many ancient worlds, her mind was still that of a modern person. At times like this, she generally preferred to listen to the natives.
"Then bring it to me."
Not long after, Qiu Shuang led the little boy into the yard with a smile. Lin Chunhuan turned his head to take a look and immediately understood where the smile on Qiu Shuang's face came from.
Even she herself raised her lips slightly, "It's you, so your name is Wuji."
"My humble servant, Wuji, pays his respects to the princess!"
The person who came was none other than the boy that Lin Chunhuan had casually saved on the day when he attended the banquet in the Eastern Palace. Later, he followed Eunuch Qi to work in the Eastern Palace. At least he had a way to make a living and no longer had to do sneaky things.
Lin Chunhuan glanced at Wuji's clothes and the tag hanging on his waist, "Are you staying in the East Palace?"
"Reply to the Queen."
Although it has been a while since we last met, Wuji is obviously behaving much more properly now, and his cleverness can still be seen in the details, whether intentional or unintentional.
"Thanks to your kindness, Madam, and the goodness of Eunuch Qi, I am now doing some simple chores under Eunuch Qi."
Lin Chunhuan nodded and looked Xiao Wuji up and down. "Since you work in the East Palace, you are the prince's man. Why did you suddenly come to me?"
This time, before Little Wuji could speak, he knelt down on the wet and cold ground, which had just been swept of snow. "Your Majesty has saved Wuji's life, and I dare not lie to you."
"I work in the East Palace and heard something about the Empress. It's a matter of great importance."
"Today I have come to tell you these words, and it is my repayment of your kindness!"
