Zijuan, who was outside the door, didn't dare to make a sound when she heard the laughter inside. She witnessed how Linlang died with her own eyes, and prayed to God that she would never have to serve the Sixth Princess.
But fate seemed to be torturing her intentionally. She was eventually assigned by the Queen Mother to serve the Sixth Princess. Bai Lingling in the room suddenly realized that there might be someone eavesdropping outside the door.
The maid pushed open the door like a vengeful ghost, and she sat on the ground, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. How could the suspicious Bai Lingling believe that the maid was asleep?
So she pretended to go back to the room and closed the door, but in fact she came out of the room and stood outside the door, staring at the maid.
Zijuan heard the sound of the door closing and was about to open her eyes, but suddenly she received a gaze from behind that made her hair stand on end. Only then did Zijuan realize that the Sixth Princess was testing her.
She tried to slow down her breathing and ignore that gaze. Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Bai Lingling let down her guard, opened the door and walked into the room.
Even so, Zijuan didn't dare to open her eyes. After a while, a maid woke her up, and she pretended to have just woken up early and opened her eyes.
She pretended to be surprised and looked at the maid who saw her and said, "Ah, what should I do, sister? I fell asleep."
The maid patted her hand and comforted her: "It's okay. The Sixth Princess came out and didn't see you. I'm sure the Sixth Princess won't blame you. She is so beautiful and kind."
Zijuan didn't care what the maid said at all. She just ran away as if escaping, leaving the maid standing there looking at her in surprise.
Bai Lingling in the room had a somewhat neurotic custom plan. Ye Jiuge, as a hostage, must need comfort.
Since I am so considerate, it must be very easy to accomplish this task, so that I can recruit Ye Jiuge to my side.
Bai Lingling was lost in thought when a knock on the door came and she asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Who is it?"
The maid from before said outside the door: "Your Highness the Sixth Princess, the Queen has summoned you. Let me and your servant go there."
Bai Lingling almost bit her teeth off, but she had to respond with a smile.
"Excuse me, please tell the Queen to wait for me to get ready and then go see her."
The maid bowed outside, said yes, and then retreated.
Shen Yue was watching the teacher's evaluation of the second prince. The words "progress" caught Shen Yue's eye and she nodded with satisfaction. Then Bai Lingling tidied herself and entered Shen Yue's bedroom.
"Lingling pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen."
Chen Yue gave Bai Lingling a symbolic support and she was about to respond.
"Thank you, Queen."
The woman on the phoenix chair glanced at Ruyi, who immediately understood and pulled out the stool and said, "Princess, please take a seat."
Bai Lingling smiled softly, nodded and did it.
"I wonder what the Queen wants to do by summoning Lingling at this hour?"
Shen Yue placed the rice paper in her hand on her lap, looked at Bai Lingling with a smile and said, "Lingling, I called you here today for no other reason than that I hope you can stay away from your second brother."
Bai Lingling forced herself to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out of her mouth when she heard this. She covered her mouth with her handkerchief and said, "Queen Lingling, will you know why?"
Shen Yue thought Bai Lingling would nod in agreement directly, but she didn't expect that she would still have questions. The smile on her face faded.
"Yu'er's teacher praised his recent progress in his studies, so I hope he can study more recently. Please don't bother him."
Bai Lingling looked at Shen Yue with a twisted smile and said, "I wonder if Second Brother knows about this?"
Shen Yue frowned slightly and said with a bit of firmness in her tone: "He doesn't need to know. The most important thing for him now is his homework, not just hanging around his sister every day without any intention of making plans for the future."
Under Bai Lingling's wide sleeves, the handkerchief was tangled into a mess, which was enough to show her mood at the moment.
"But what if Jinjin doesn't obey?"
Shen Yue didn't expect that even after she had said so much, Bai Lingling was still so tactless. Her face immediately darkened, and she told Bai Lingling in a half-persuasive, half-threatening way.
"Then you might have to move back, but I believe Lingling is someone who doesn't know the current situation, right?"
Bai Lingling agreed with a grim face. What else could she do? It was already difficult for her to live her current life. If she was sent back, she would probably collapse. She could only agree for the time being.
Shen Yue nodded in satisfaction and raised her hand to signal Bai Lingling that she could leave. Bai Lingling left the Queen's bedroom without even responding.
Bai Lingling walked out with a somewhat ferocious look on her face, thinking that when she recruited Ye Jiuge, she would definitely be executed first.
…
Bai Jinjin on the side had already walked to the gate of Ye Jiuge's palace but closed the gate abnormally. Bai Jinjin knocked on the gate in confusion. A young eunuch opened the gate and saw that it was Bai Jinjin, and immediately looked embarrassed.
"Your Highness, Young Master Ye is not seen at this time."
Bai Jinjin was stunned. No one was there at this hour? But it was dinner time.
"If anything happens to me if you let me in, I will take responsibility for it."
After hearing what she said, the young eunuch felt relieved and opened the palace gate. Bai Jinjin also told the young eunuch when she stepped in.
"If he blames you, just say that the Ninth Princess forced her way in and couldn't stop her. Got it?"
The eunuch nodded hurriedly and closed the palace gate.
"I understand, Princess, please feel free to do as you please."
Bai Jinjin nodded in satisfaction, ran straight to the rockery behind and rushed to Ye Jiuge's bedroom, opened the door and said casually: "Brother Ye, I came to see you."
What was more embarrassing was that after opening the door, not only Ye Jiuge but also his two sisters who lived among the common people were there. Bai Jinjin's eyes immediately turned into small dots, and her fingers trembled as she looked at Lou Jingyue and Ye Jiuge.
"Ye, Brother Ye! What are you doing!"
Ye Jiuge, who was drinking tea, knew that the eunuch at the door could not stop her. Seeing her push the door open, he was not very surprised and just said calmly: "Have some tea."
Bai Jinjin really wanted to faint. There were two beautiful women sitting opposite him, and he was actually drinking tea?
Lou Jingyue, who was sitting across from her, was surprised to see Bai Jinjin so soon. Qingfeng, however, lost his composure and stood up, angrily saying to Bai Jinjin, "Hey, don't you know you should knock before entering? How can you be so impolite?"
Bai Jinjin was stunned by the scolding. She was used to suddenly breaking into Ye Jiuge's room, but this was the first time she was scolded like this. The beautiful woman was surprised.
