Lingzhi quickly assured him, "Don't worry, I'll follow you into the palace and won't run around!"
Seeing that Xiao Qingyun was still hesitant, Lingzhi said again: "It's too boring in the mansion. Your Highness, can you take me to the palace to have a look?"
"Okay." Xiao Qingyun said briefly.
Lingzhi thought it would take some time to talk, but she didn't expect Xiao Qingyun to agree so easily.
Suddenly I felt like I had been trapped.
But I am still happy to be able to enter the palace and see it for myself!
Lingzhi put aside those distracting thoughts and began to think about what kind of clothes to wear when entering the palace and what other etiquette was required?
Xiao Qingyun walked silently in front, Lingzhi followed behind him, and the two kept a distance from each other.
Thanks to Xiao Qingyun, Lingzhi met ten beauties along the way.
Concubine Zhang was playing the zither as they passed by.
Xiao Qingyun seemed deaf and turned a deaf ear to nothing.
Lingzhi ran over patiently and listened for a while. When the song ended, she handed the flower branch in her hand to her and said, "You play the piano really well!"
Lady Li was dancing under the crabapple tree, her delicate figure faintly visible through her gauze dress.
Xiao Qingyun was like a blind man, not looking around.
Lingzhi was so amazed by her beauty that she clapped her hands, sprinkled flower petals on her body, and praised her: "Your dancing is outstanding."
Lady Liu twisted her ankle while chasing a butterfly and was about to fall on Xiao Qingyun.
Xiao Qingyun dodged to the side in two steps, and the beauty almost fell to the ground.
Lingzhi rushed forward and held the beauty's delicate waist: "The road is not smooth, my beauty, please be careful."
"Ahhh~ There's a bug!"
Lady Cui screamed and rushed towards Xiao Qingyun.
Lingzhi laughed and opened his arms, letting the beauty hide in his arms. He hugged the beauty with one hand and calmly swatted the insect to death with the other hand.
Before returning to her room, she met several beauties who had problems such as lost purses, falling into water, and broken kite strings.
Naturally, she helped each of them equally and gave them the best words of praise.
Then, amid their grateful thanks that reached tears, they followed Xiao Qingyun back home with peace of mind.
…
…
After the last incident, Lingzhi originally thought that concubine Ye Wanning would be more restrained.
But she underestimated the heart of a woman blinded by jealousy and hatred.
Ye Wanning did not let Xia Qinghe go, but instead became even more aggressive.
Before dawn, Xia Qinghe, the new bride, was asked to stand outside the door and wait for her, the concubine who was equivalent to the main wife, to get up, and then she would greet her and serve her tea.
When eating, he would also ask Xia Qinghe to serve him by his side, and kneel down to serve her tea after the meal.
Xia Qinghe had to copy the Women's Commandments every night under the supervision of two maids and was not allowed to go out.
Even going to the toilet is subject to strict restrictions.
Lingzhi had nothing good to say about this.
As the saying goes, "Seeking benevolence brings benevolence." When Xia Qinghe chose this path, all of this should have been expected.
In the evening, Lingzhi passed by the ancestral hall and saw Concubine Ye lecturing Xia Qinghe, who was kneeling in the hall as punishment.
"You were born a lowly child. Being able to enter the palace as a concubine is already a blessing for you. How dare you dream of anything else?"
"If you dare to seduce the prince again, I will strangle you to death with a piece of white silk..."
Lingzhi shook his head and walked away.
But before she could return to the yard, Xia Qinghe caught up with her.
"Lingzhi, stop!"
Lingzhi stopped and looked back at her.
Xia Qinghe walked up to Lingzhi and said condescendingly, "I have something to ask you. Come with me to my yard."
Hearing her commanding tone, Lingzhi didn't want to spoil her: "Sorry, I'm busy. If you have anything to say, please talk here!"
"you……"
Xia Qinghe was on the verge of exploding, but she managed to hold back her anger and said, "I know you're living well in the palace, but don't forget who the master is!"
"You are a helpless maid, like a rootless duckweed floating in the backyard. It is better for you to choose a good tree to live in and join forces with me."
"I believe that with your wit and my planning, we will be able to firmly capture the heart of Regent Xiao Qingyun!"
Xia Qinghe looked at Lingzhi so seriously that she got goosebumps.
Lingzhi shook her head: "I'm not interested in the drama of competing for favor in the harem. You should find someone else to cooperate with!"
"Lingzhi, don't be so self-inflated and forget yourself. You are not that great!" Xia Qinghe shouted.
That's funny.
Lingzhi raised her eyes and looked at her: "I am just a little maid, and I have never thought of myself as something great. But you, when you really have a place in this mansion, come and teach me a lesson!"
Xia Qinghe knew that Lingzhi had seen Ye Wanning scolding her just now, so she clenched her fists and looked at Lingzhi fiercely.
Her clenched hands were so tight that the joints had turned slightly white, showing how much strength she was using.
Lingzhi didn't want to argue with her anymore and said calmly: "I have something else to do, I'll go first."
As she said this, she prepared to bypass Xia Qinghe and leave.
Xia Qinghe suddenly reached out and grabbed Lingzhi's hand, her eyes full of malice.
"Bitch, I can't deal with that bitch Ye Wanning, but can't I deal with you?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and was about to slap Lingzhi in the face.
But the action was interrupted by a sharp shout: "Stop!"
Xia Qinghe looked behind her in panic and immediately saw Xiao Qingyun and Butler Zhou with ashen faces.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Qingyun strode over with a cold face, and when he saw Lingzhi covering her face, a storm suddenly rose on his face.
Suddenly the air around me became several degrees colder.
"I didn't hit her..."
Xia Qinghe panicked, tears welled up in her eyes, and she hurriedly explained.
