Upon hearing this, the maids outside the courtyard also looked at Xianglong with envy.
Inside the room, Xianglong heard these words and instantly felt an overwhelming sense of confidence spreading through his chest.
Yes, she comes from a scholarly family and is not the same as these lowly maids. She has served in the general's study for so many years. If it weren't for the second concubine's obstruction, she might have become a concubine long ago, or even the official wife.
Moreover, this young lady is really naive. Does she really think I'm here to help her?
Given this, why doesn't she make some plans for herself?
Inside the main house.
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she frowned.
Seeing this, Zihe walked over, picked up the teapot, poured Xie Lingqin a cup of tea, and handed it to her, asking, "Miss, are you still worried?"
“It’s not worry, it’s frustration.” Xie Lingqin raised her eyelashes slightly, looked at Zihe, and her eyes darkened. “I don’t know how to do embroidery.”
ah?
Zihe was clearly startled.
Although I had heard that the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion not only had a powerful mother whose name is still remembered, but also a marriage agreement with the Prince Xian, I did not mention her.
However, having spent these past few days by her mistress's side, she had witnessed many of her mistress's unique qualities, and it was precisely because of this...
How could I not know how to do this kind of handicraft embroidery?
"Why are you frowning? It's true." Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe's deep thought and didn't intend to hide it.
"Uh, no, it's fine too." Zihe lowered her head slightly, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Xie Lingqin took a sip of tea and looked at Zihe again, "Can you do it?"
“This servant…” Zihe was clearly somewhat helpless, “This servant only knows how to wield a sword and cook.”
"Alright." Xie Lingqin waved her hand. "Actually, I didn't have much hope for you."
Zihe...
Was she rejected by the young lady?
"Well, Miss, the lessons will begin tomorrow, and you don't know this..."
Xie Lingqin chuckled.
What she was worried about wasn't that Zihe didn't know anything, but that the original owner really did know these things. It was just that Xie Lingyu had overshadowed her before, and she was timid and afraid of causing trouble, so she deliberately hid them. But even so, her embroidery skills were still presentable.
Therefore, tomorrow, she absolutely cannot, not at all.
Raising her hand to touch her brow, Xie Lingqin stared at the incense burner outside the window, which had been tidied up and was now walking out. She clicked her tongue and said, "This incense burner has a good figure. If it weren't for her less-than-ideal face, she could really be considered a beauty."
Zihe followed Xie Lingqin's gaze and looked out.
Amidst the evergreen and pink flowers in the courtyard, Xianglong, dressed in a pomegranate-red flowing robe with gold embroidered patterns, was smoothing her hair as she walked towards the main house.
Of course, Zihe didn't think Xie Lingqin was genuinely praising Xianglong; instead, she felt that her mistress's words were some kind of trap.
So, when she saw Xianglong walk in, Zihe stepped forward and said, "Miss Xianglong, you've finished getting ready so quickly."
Xianglong smiled faintly and nodded, then looked at Xie Lingqin again, "Young Miss..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Lingqin gently waved her hand at Xianglong, "You can go and rest today. You can go out for a stroll if you want."
"Miss..." Xianglong was clearly surprised, but after the surprise, a faint joy was hidden in her eyes.
The maids in this general's mansion can't just go out shopping and have fun whenever they want.
However, Xie Lingqin waved her hand, covered her lips, and looked extremely sleepy. "Well, I'll take a nap. Besides, you're new to Qingshui Pavilion, so you can get familiar with it."
Before closing her eyes, Xie Lingqin secretly gave Zihe a wink.
Zihe naturally understood and stopped bothering Xie Lingqin, then withdrew with Xianglong.
"Zihe, Miss seems quite easy to get along with." Xianglong walked out with Zihe, trying to find some breakthrough from Zihe.
Zihe smiled and nodded gently, "Yes, Miss is very kind to us servants. A few days ago, she even gave us some of the gifts that Prince Xian sent."
Upon hearing this, Xianglong raised his hand and patted Zihe's shoulder in a seemingly affectionate manner, "Then, I'll go back to my room now and get some embroidery patterns for tomorrow."
"Miss Xianglong, please take your time," Zihe said politely as she saw her off.
Xianglong then quickly left the courtyard.
While Zihe appeared to have slipped into her own room, she had actually secretly followed him.
...
Xie Lingqin fell into a deep sleep, and when she woke up again, the setting sun had already dyed the sky red.
As Xie Lingqin had predicted, Xianglong went to report to the Second Madam as soon as she left Qingshui Pavilion.
When Zihe returned to report, her face was filled with resentment. At the end, she felt very sorry for Xie Lingqin, "Miss, how did you live in this General's Mansion before?"
Xie Lingqin glanced at her, a faint light flickering in her eyes, "However you get through it, that's how it goes..."
It's just that it's over.
"Did Second Aunt instruct Xianglong to do anything?" Xie Lingqin asked again.
Upon hearing this, Zihe became even more furious. "Second Aunt actually had Xianglong drug you!"
"Heh." Xie Lingqin wasn't surprised and sneered, "Only Second Aunt would come up with such a despicable method."
“However, Miss…” Zihe’s expression was not good, “That incense burner is really no good. When it returned to Qingshui Pavilion, it actually replaced the medicine. I thought she had a change of heart, but it turns out…”
Xie Lingqin lightly brushed her brows, her expression calm. "So, she switched to poison?"
"Miss, you expected this?"
