The following day, Lanqin specially selected two palace maids who were outstanding in appearance and had graceful figures. After giving them detailed instructions, she sent them to Qin Mo and Lu Changkong's rooms to serve them.
Qin Mo spent his days reading and writing indoors, rarely venturing out of the Yuanmingyuan Garden except when invited to the Siyi Study. He didn't even notice the beautiful palace maid who had inexplicably appeared in his room.
To test Qin Mo, the palace maid deliberately brought tea to the desk, but tripped and almost fell less than a foot away from it.
Qin Mo was startled and instinctively reached out to help her up, but the palace maid fell right into Qin Mo's arms, wetting his clothes with the tea.
The palace maid gazed at Qin Mo with tender affection, sending him flirtatious glances.
Seeing that the palace maid was unharmed, Qin Mo immediately got up and released her.
The palace maid exclaimed in surprise and rushed to Qin Mo's side, pulling at the tea stains all over his clothes. She said apologetically, "Young Master Qin, it was all my fault for getting your clothes dirty. Are you burned?" As she spoke, she put her hands on Qin Mo's waist as if she wanted to check if he was alright.
Qin Mo was startled and took a few steps back, his face flushed with embarrassment as he waved his hand and said, "No...it's nothing...I wasn't burned. Miss, you should check yourself first."
The palace maid, of course, couldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. Smiling, she approached Qin Mo, reached out and tugged at his clothes, saying seductively, "Young master, there's no need for such formality. This is what we servants should do. It was my carelessness that caused your clothes to get dirty. Why don't you take them off now, and I'll wash them and return them to you..."
When Qin Mo saw the palace maid trying to unbutton his clothes, he angrily shoved her aside and moved to the other side of the table. His ears were bright red, but he still firmly said, "Miss, please go out first. I can handle this myself. From now on, let the servants do things like serving tea..."
The palace maid wanted to get closer, but Qin Mo's stern gaze stopped her.
The palace maid was worried that Qin Mo would really be angry, so she had no choice but to leave in a huff. However, all of this was seen and recorded by the eunuchs outside.
Meanwhile, a beautiful palace maid was sent to Lu Changkong's room. Upon seeing this, Lu Changkong simply skipped all the fun activities like strolling in the garden or fishing. Instead of waiting for the maid to come to him and test the waters, he would tease her whenever he had the chance. As a scion of a noble family, teasing the pretty maids in his room from time to time was a common occurrence for him, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior.
On this day, when the eunuch came to investigate, Lu Changkong was teaching a palace maid to write. He hugged the maid from behind, holding her hand and laughing as he scribbled on the paper with a pen.
The fragrance emanating from the palace maid captivated Lu Changkong, and one hand involuntarily crept up her slender waist, making her feel both ticklish and coquettish. She turned and pushed Lu Changkong away, blushing with anger, and said, "Young Master Lu, you're so naughty! You said you were going to teach me to write, but you're teasing me instead..."
Enraged by the beauty's words, Lu Changkong's fighting spirit was ignited. He flung aside his pen, lifted the palace maid's chin with his hand, and laughed, "This young master is teaching you to write, but writing requires strength. Your wrists are weak, your waist is weak, I'm adjusting your posture..."
The palace maid smiled and said, "Young Master Lu is quite amusing. This is the first time I've heard of practicing calligraphy starting with the posture of the waist... Then where else do you need to practice?"
Lu Changkong chuckled, understanding the maid's meaning. He pulled her into his arms, grabbed her wrist with a smile, and said, "There's a lot to practice. Why don't I teach you step by step..."
The two then chased and played around, laughing and joking. The eunuch, not wanting to watch any longer, shook his head and left.
Lanqin was basically aware of the situation of the two, and secretly felt very disappointed in Lu Changkong. Bechuk, on the other hand, was very pleased. Qin Mo had never allowed any palace maids to serve him closely, maintaining a distance, which showed that Qin Mo was an upright and honest man. Bechuk was even more attracted to Qin Mo.
