Sweetheart

Luo Jin was called up early in the morning to serve tea. She yawned and sighed in her heart: Even if she traveled through time, she could not escape the fate of a worker. How pathetic.

She traveled into a novel called "Liu Feng Zui" and was a maidservant of the supporting actress, Princess Chai Jing of Dongyuan Kingdom. This character had no sense of existence in the book. She only remembered that when Chai Jing was killed in the end, all the maidservants around her were sent away with her. She estimated that this would be the same fate.

She had to find a way to save the princess so that she could survive.

Luo Jin made tea, put it on a tray and brought it into the house.

The second prince Chai Heng, who was sitting next to Chai Jing, was not in a hurry to drink tea. He took out a pearl flower from his pocket and said, "I bought it outside. Although it is not worth much, it is really beautiful . Do you think I will give it to Miss Huaying? Will she be very touched?"

Chai Jing pouted and said, "Didn't you take me into consideration when you were choosing a gift? What kind of taste do you have? It's so ugly! Ugly and worthless. Even if she said she liked it on the surface, she must have disliked it in her heart, right?"

Chai Heng looked at the pearl flower in his hand with some sadness, "It's really so ugly... Then I'll give it to you?"

"Bah! What an ugly thing? I don't want it!" Chai Jing saw Luo Jin standing aside and said casually, "Give it to her!"

Chai Heng sighed and handed the pearl flower to Luo Jin, "Give it to you!"

Luo Jin didn't expect that he would have an unexpected gain, and hurriedly took it and thanked him. She saw that the pearl flower was made of pearls and the base was pure gold. Although Chai Heng and Chai Jing both thought it was not worth the money, it was more than two years' salary for her.

[I didn't expect these two big grudges to be so nice! ]

Chai Heng and Chai Jing were suddenly startled and looked at each other. They both heard that the voice came from the little palace maid serving tea beside them.

They looked at her at the same time.

However, they saw Luo Jin holding back her smile and looking down at the pearl flower in her hand, without saying anything.

[It can be worth several dozen taels of silver, right? I made a small fortune!]

Now the two of them saw clearly that Luo Jin did not say anything, but this was indeed the voice coming from her, and there was no one else around.

Both of them were born in the royal family and received various strict educations since childhood, so they would not be without scheming. Although they were surprised for a while, they quickly restored their superficial calmness tacitly.

Chai Heng continued to say what he wanted to say, as if what just happened had not happened, "I will explain to my father tomorrow and ask him to grant me a marriage with Miss Huaying! I have been pursuing her for five years, and she finally fell in love with me. It is true that sincerity can move mountains and open rocks!"

Luo Jin suddenly turned his eyes to Chai Heng.

[Guess why she suddenly showed her affection to you? Isn't it because she is pregnant and wants to make a fool of you? She is pregnant with the child of the enemy's prince, and sooner or later she will surrender to the enemy and kill you! ]

Chai Heng and Chai Jing took great effort not to show any abnormality in front of Luo Jin. Because it was too hard to bear, Chai Jing waved her hand and let Luo Jin go first.

[Ah? You are off work now? It's good to be off work! 】

【The two things I love most in life are receiving bonuses and getting off work. I have both of them at once. I am so lucky! 】

Luo Jin ran away happily.

Chai Jing: "..."

Chai Heng: "..."

Chai Jing looked at the maids guarding the door. These people had not shown any strange expressions since then.

She called a maid over and told her: "Repeat everything you just heard?"

The maid was stunned, "Ah?"

Chai Jing pretended to be angry, "What? You didn't serve attentively? You were distracted, right?"

The maid knelt down hurriedly, "I was not distracted! I remember!"

She hurriedly repeated everything she had just heard, even restoring the excited tone of Chai Heng when he was about to propose marriage.

Chai Heng waved his hand awkwardly, "Go down...all of you go down!"

He then closed the door, his face becoming solemn, "She didn't hear those words! Only the two of us heard them!"

"Why? Did we do something special? Luo Jin has served me for five years, and I have never heard such a sound."

"I guess... we may have heard her inner voice inadvertently, and she herself probably didn't realize it. But... she seems to know something we don't know!"

Chai Jing frowned, "I'll go find her and ask her clearly!"

Chai Heng quickly stopped her, "The voices heard inadvertently are the real ones. If she knew it, she would be on guard. Would she still tell the truth? How can we judge whether what she said is true or false?"

Chai Jing sat back and thought for a while, "You just gave her the pearl flower, right? As for me... I asked you to give it to her. The common point between us is that we did something to make her happy. Maybe this is a condition... I still have to test it carefully."

Chai Heng nodded, "You are her master, you have a way to test it out. But as for Miss Huaying... what she said can't be true, right?"

His expression was a little frustrated.

Chai Jing sneered slightly, "If she is pregnant, is there no way for us to find out? Don't worry, she and I are good sisters, and I will find a chance to confirm it for you next time. But right now... I am more interested in that girl Luo Jin."

...

Luo Jin returned to her room. She lived in the maid's room, which was small, low, and a little damp. There was no furniture in the room except a table and a cabinet. There was not even a stool, so she could only sit on the bed.

She had heard before that maids could be released from the palace at the age of twenty-five. She is seventeen years old now, and after working for another eight years, she can leave the palace and live freely. If she is lucky, the princess will reward her with some valuable things, and she can retire directly.

Of course, the premise is that she has to save the princess's life. If the princess died, she would probably be finished too. She was not the protagonist, and she did not have the halo to save her life.

Just as she was thinking about it, Nanny Zhao pushed the door open and put a pear wood stool next to her table, saying, "I happen to have an unused stool in my room, and I have nowhere to put it, so I'll put it here for you to use!"

Luo Jin was startled, and quickly stood up to thank her, "Thank you, Nanny."

"No need."

Nanny Zhao came out of Luo Jin's room and went directly into the princess's room.

"I have given the stool to Luo Jin as the princess ordered." Nanny Zhao bowed and said.

"Did you hear any strange noises?" Chai Jing asked, "You are my most trusted person, and you will definitely not lie to me."

"I just heard her say thank you, nothing else."

"Really?"

"I swear on the lives of my whole family!"

"Alright, go down!"

Chai Jing frowned. It seemed that not everyone could hear her voice in a way that won her favor. There must be something else she didn't expect.

She stood up and walked out of the room. After standing in the yard for a while, she saw Luo Jin coming out of the room. When he saw her, he happily bowed.

"I have to go out for a while, you follow me." Chai Jing said to Luo Jin.

Luo Jin was stunned. Although the princess sometimes went out, she never let her follow. Usually, it was Madam Zhao and several senior palace maids who followed and served, and it was not her turn.

She had to obey her master's orders and had no right to choose. She could only respond, "Yes!"

"We have to wear casual clothes this time... dress up as ordinary people." Chai Jing continued.

She did not listen to Luo Jin's thoughts again, thinking that perhaps these thoughts were time-limited.

Luo Jin responded, "Yes!"

She had clothes in her closet that she wore before entering the palace, which could be used.

Chai Jing waved to Nanny Zhao, "Find a piece of clothing for her, don't let her dress too shabby."

Nanny Zhao responded and walked to the room at the corner. After a while, she took out a set of clothes and handed it to Luo Jin, "Take this one, it should fit you."

Luo Jin took the clothes and was a little bit unbelievable.

This is a top-quality brocade skirt with a peony pattern embroidered on it with gold thread. The fabric alone is worth at least several hundred taels!

[Is this something you are lending to me? You are not giving it to me as a gift? It is so expensive...]

Chai Jing could not help but smile slightly. Sure enough, this little money-grubber! As long as you give her something valuable, she will open up immediately.

"The pattern of this dress is too old-fashioned. This princess doesn't like it. It's a reward for you if you can wear it." Chai Jing said.

[You really gave it to me! I'm rich, I'm rich...]

[With such a spendthrift... kind-hearted master, I can achieve financial freedom in advance!]

[Don't let her die...]

[Hey, how can I let her know that her future sister-in-law is a villain? She will definitely not believe it if I tell her directly, right? It seems that she and Qin Huaying are childhood sweethearts.]

Chai Jing: "..."

This girl has a rich inner drama.

Chai Jing also changed into her casual clothes. This time she wore a white gauze dress, which was quite simple and elegant.

The coachman was Chai Jing's personal bodyguard. He also changed into his casual clothes and drove the carriage in the yard.

"Get in!" Chai Jing pointed at the carriage.

"Me?" Luo Jin pointed at herself, "I... I can just sit in the front..."

Chai Jing frowned, "Do you... dislike this princess?"

"I dare not."

[Hey, what's wrong with her today? ]

[The princess is moody, be careful, don't make her angry. ]

Luo Jin could only get on the carriage and sit carefully in a corner.

Chai Jing rolled her eyes at her, "What? Is this princess a cannibal? Why are you sitting so far away?"

Luo Jin could only sigh in her heart and sit closer.

"Today is the fifteenth," Chai Jing said, "The Grand Tutor's Mansion invites a troupe to perform on the fifteenth of every month, and I sometimes go to listen to the opera. The eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Qin Huaying, is my good sister, and I went to find her."

Luo Jin just replied lightly, "Yes."

[We have to find a way to let the princess find out that Qin Huaying is pregnant! ]

[This villain must be dealt with, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ]

[But I'm just a little palace maid, what can I do? ]

[I have to be careful and not bring hatred to myself. With my identity, anyone can crush me to death...]

[I don't know if this princess is smart...]

Chai Jing smiled.

This princess... seems to be quite smart, right?
