"Sister Lin Shuang, the Princess Consort must have exhausted herself healing the Third Prince's injuries. She must be bathing or resting now. Please wait a while before going," Bai Lu pleaded with Lin Shuang, hoping she would stop herself from doing anything foolish.
Lin Shuang glanced at Ji Fengyao's door, thinking that Hei Xiao was inside, and said unwillingly, "But what about the Third Prince's diet..."
"Sister, you've been with the Princess for so long, don't you understand her temperament? The Princess is always very attentive to the sick and injured, and she will make arrangements when the time comes." Bai Lu held Lin Shuang tightly, preventing her from getting away.
Lin Shuang dared not openly reveal her thoughts, but Bai Lu insisted on stopping her, so she could only nod and say, "That's right, the princess must have something important to tell you if she only brought Xi Que along."
Bai Lu frowned slightly upon hearing this:
Sister Lin Shuang is trying to sow discord between her and Sister Xi Que.
Is this implying that the princess only values Sister Magpie and not her?
“Sister Xique and the Princess grew up together since childhood, you could even call them sisters. The Princess probably doesn’t want us to think she’s using us as cannon fodder, so there are some things she doesn’t ask us to do, like deliberately provoking the royal family. She’s never let us do that, because she’s afraid we’ll be scared and suffer losses,” Bailu analyzed carefully, trying to persuade Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang, however, didn't seem to care, merely raising the corners of her lips. On the surface, she feigned an approving smile, nodded, and turned to go inside. In her heart, she thought: "Silly girl, only you would think like that. When it comes to provoking others, it's always someone else who walks right into the princess's trap. Xi Que, driven by her bandit nature, charges in without any prior planning!"
Seeing Lin Shuang's stubbornness, Bai Lu's eyes flashed with deep disappointment.
Shang Beiyu listened to the two maids' roundabout conversation and felt extremely resentful:
The young female bandit didn't spend much time in the temple, and he didn't have much time to spend with her either.
He really wanted to slap that annoying little brat to death!
Finally, as evening approached, someone came to the door.
The magpie carried a food box full of vegetarian dishes and walked over with unprecedentedly small, palace-like steps. She knelt down with an extremely upright and respectful attitude and took out the pastries and vegetarian dishes from the food box, placing them out one by one.
Then, with a polite but stiff smile, she said in a gentle and soft voice, "Your Highness, this is a nutritious meal prepared for you by my young lady herself. Please enjoy it."
Bai Lu's face contorted in surprise: Is this thing really a magpie? Or is it some kind of monster in disguise?
Lin Shuang: "..."
What are the princess and the magpie up to now?
Shang Beiyu glanced behind Xique but still didn't see Ji Fengyao. He patiently and "weakly" asked, "Where is your young lady? Why isn't she here?"
“Hehehe…” Xi Que awkwardly pinched her pinky finger, gave a coy and shy laugh, and her voice became more and more affected: “My young lady said that His Highness the Third Prince is an outsider. Since my son-in-law is not here, it is inconvenient for the young lady to spend so much time with His Highness, for fear of gossip.”
What are you saying? This little bandit is not the kind of person who is bound by rules and dogma!
But why is she avoiding seeing him?
Could it be that Xiao Chen said something to the little bandit girl, making her suspicious and unhappy?
Shang Beiyu's heart sank to the bottom:
He finally managed to drive Shang Xiye out of the capital and then drove away Shang Dongyang;
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
"Since you've come to my doorstep and deliberately blocked my way, I have no reason not to accept you," Shang Beiyu thought through gritted teeth, his hands clenched tightly under the thin blanket.
