Shen Ruoyan did not hide what Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan encountered at the Imperial College.
"The implication of Prince Shun's mansion's move is unclear. My Lord, you must be on guard." After Lu Jing came back, Shen Ruoyan instructed him.
Now Lu Jing obeyed Shen Ruoyan's every word, mainly because the last incident with Eunuch Liu had a huge impact on him. He deeply realized that it would be impossible for the harem to be without a knowledgeable woman.
So he readily agreed, "Don't worry, Madam. I will be careful."
Shen Ruoyan smelled a hint of abnormality from the actions of Prince Shun's mansion. In the past, after talking to Lu Jing, she would definitely find an excuse to urge him to leave quickly, but today, she made an exception and asked him to sit down and drink tea.
"Have you noticed anything unusual while on duty recently, Lord?"
Lu Jing now entered the palace. Although he was also on patrol, he had the opportunity to be in the presence of the emperor. This was the reason why many people wanted to join the Fenglin Guard.
Eunuch Liu was just a eunuch, but because he was the emperor's close attendant, even the favorite concubines in the palace did not dare to act pretentiously in front of him.
As long as you can catch the emperor's eye and gain his trust, you will be second only to him and above everyone else. Who wouldn't be tempted?
When Lu Jing joined the Fenglin Guard, countless people secretly blushed with jealousy! Lu Jing was so excited that he couldn't even sleep well. His mind was full of thoughts about becoming a popular figure in front of the emperor and being able to call the shots!
Unfortunately, reality was like a sudden rainstorm, crackling and hitting him.
Although he joined the Fenglin Guard, no one dared to assign him important tasks because of his poor martial arts skills and physical strength. However, because he was personally appointed by the emperor, others did not dare to cause trouble for him.
In this way, Lu Jing became the only distinguished idler in Fenglinwei.
The place he patrolled every day was inside the palace. Because he was worried that even if an assassin lurked in from outside, he would not be able to stop it, so Lu Jing never even went to the important checkpoints.
The daily patrols were either to check whether the flowers in the imperial garden were blooming well, or to help a palace master find cats and dogs. Anyway, all the chores fell on his head. It was not heavy and did not require any force, so it was quite leisurely.
Others looked down on him, but Lu Jing's own mentality was extremely positive. When Shen Ruoyan asked him about it, he pretended to be serious and recalled: "Today, the wall paint on the Qinghui Pavilion side fell off. I discovered the hidden danger in time and reported it. Oh, and the weeds on the east side are overgrown and affecting the appearance. I also reported it..."
He thought for a long time, and all he said were unimportant little things.
It was a world away from what Chen Ruoyan wanted.
However, Shen Ruoyan was not impatient, but listened carefully to everything. She even asked Lu Jing to repeat what she did not hear clearly, and took it very seriously.
This greatly satisfied Lu Jing's desire to share. Others looked down on these trivial matters, but the safety of the palace was closely related to these matters.
Therefore, he never underestimated himself. Instead, he felt that the things he did were also very important. Others did not understand because their realm had not reached his level. Otherwise, why were they not praised by the emperor?
Lu Jing shared these thoughts with Shen Ruoyan, and then looked at her expectantly.
Madam, you are listening so attentively, you must think I am amazing, right?
Shen Ruoyan's expression was a little complicated, but Lu Jing looked like this, as if any disdain she showed would seriously undermine his self-confidence.
Never mind, do one good deed a day.
"Your Majesty is truly wise and foolish. No wonder the Emperor values you so highly." Her eyes were gentle, filled with affirmative strength. "Your Majesty, you must continue to persevere, so that those people will be impressed and regret it too late."
"Of course!" Lu Jing almost patted his chest to guarantee his ambitions. To him, having support and having no support were two completely different mentalities.
When I was fighting alone, I relied purely on self-brainwashing.
Anyway, he has been suppressed and educated by the old lady in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years and has never been recognized. He has become accustomed to it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so immersed in Fang Rou's gentle embrace.
And now, there is another person who recognizes him, Shen Ruoyan. Compared with Fang Rou, Shen Ruoyan has a good family background and broad knowledge. For Lu Jing, being able to get her approval is truly satisfying.
Therefore, he is now very motivated and feels that the palace cannot function without him!
Shen Ruoyan smiled and asked, "Hasn't Qinghui Pavilion just been renovated? Why is the wall peeling off?"
She feigned confusion, but Lu Jing replied directly, "It's more than just one piece. There are quite a few! Yeah, I'd have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. That place was just renovated, how could there be so much wall plaster missing?"
He was careless and didn't realize how strange it was that Shen Ruoyan, as the mistress of the backyard, knew so much about Qinghui Pavilion.
Although he was a little surprised, Lu Jing felt that Shen Ruoyan was worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. She had broad knowledge and even knew so much about the palace!
"Maybe those workers cut corners. Yes, I have to report this matter too!" Lu Jing muttered to himself, frowning as if he really thought this was a big deal.
And Shen Ruoyan looked at him quietly, without even having the chance to utter the explanation he had prepared.
She laughed silently. Fortunately, Lu Jing did not inherit the mantle of Marquis Changning. If he had gone to the battlefield, Dasheng would have been in danger...
Lu Jing was worried about something, so after leaving Shen Ruoyan, he went to the study alone and did not go to any of the concubines' courtyards.
