Qin Wan had just finished cleaning up when there was movement in the main house. Soon the lights in the opposite wing came on.
When the maid saw the candle in the main room was lit, she went forward and knocked on the door.
Xie Qing was a little drowsy in his sleep. When he heard a knock on the door, he asked someone to come in. He stood up and closed his eyes while someone helped him get dressed.
A sweet fragrance filled his nose, followed by a pair of soft little hands. Xie Qing suddenly opened his eyes, took a step back and looked at the maid: "Who are you?"
The maid knelt down and saluted: "I am the head maid serving Madam, and I am here to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Qing frowned and looked away.
The young eunuch who was serving him had just come over with his toiletries when he saw the maid and was immediately shocked: "Your Highness! I have failed in my duty!"
Xie Qing was a little more sober at this moment, and remembered that he was the one who called people in. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can leave."
The maid thought he was asking the eunuch to leave, and her face suddenly lit up. "What the master said is wrong. Which man doesn't like women? No matter how good a man's appearance is, can he be as gentle as a woman?"
The lady was indeed farsighted. The maid was still gloating over her success in gaining the Crown Prince's favor, when suddenly the young eunuch said, "What are you still standing there for? Get down quickly!"
The maid was startled, and this time she realized that she was being asked to leave!
Her eyes immediately turned red, but she dared not cry. She only lowered her head and said, "Our lords are hosting a banquet in the mansion. Please, His Royal Highness, come and have fun."
After she finished speaking, she remembered the prefect's instructions and said, "Our master said that only the governor and the co-magistrate should be summoned to accompany him."
The prefect of a state is in charge of civil affairs, and the inspector is in charge of military affairs. The two sides check and balance each other.
Xie Qing remembered the purpose of Lu Yan's journey south. In addition to investigating the backlog of cases in the army, he also had other missions. He immediately understood the purpose of the governor's visit.
He said, "I understand. You can leave first."
The maid didn't dare to stay any longer. She crawled back two steps on her knees, got up and ran out in a hurry.
