The little girl immediately stopped crying when she heard the cat's footsteps.His red and swollen eyes looked towards her.

After seeing Mao'er's rough maid's clothes, she immediately turned cold, her dirty and pretty little face turned cold, and spoke like a frightened tiger cub, baring its teeth and claws, "Go away! Don't tell anyone!"

Cat: "Uh... who are you?"

"I am the fifth lady of the Huaining Prince's Palace." Lingqian glared at Mao'er.

The cat understood.

I heard that the youngest daughter of King Huaining is a crybaby, crying day and night for the princess to be her mother.

But after the princess gave birth to the fourth and fifth ladies, she died of postpartum hemorrhage.

The fourth young lady is very normal and accepts that she has no biological mother.But the fifth lady kept making troubles and insisted on having her mother.

In order to appease her, King Huaining, who was originally going to be alone for the rest of his life, also prepared to renew his relationship.

Now is the time to choose a concubine. The rich ladies from all the major families have submitted their invitations to the Duke's Mansion, and they don't mind coming over to be the stepmothers of their five children.

It is not difficult to understand, not to mention King Huaining's unparalleled appearance, his power in the court that can cover the sky with one hand, and his wealth, no one can resist.

King Huaining had only one request for his step-princess, and that was for the fifth lady to accept it.

If the Fifth Young Lady does not accept it, no matter how outstanding the other party is, even if His Majesty offers marriage, King Huaining will not agree to it.

The fifth young lady suddenly became the target of being chased by everyone.

It is not difficult to understand why he is hiding here for now.

"I promise not to tip you off. But it's too cold here. Fifth Miss and your servant should go to the room first to take shelter." Mao'er stretched out his hand towards Lingqian.

Lingqian looked at her, and then at her hands... The originally extremely vigilant expression gradually relaxed.

"What's your name?"

"Cat."

"Mao'er... Mom loves cats and cats the most." Lingqian put her dirty little hand on Mao'er's palm and ordered: "Wait for me to wash up."

"Okay." Cat smiled and picked her up. She looked like she had a chubby face, but she was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left in her body. She was as light as if she had hugged a kitten. She didn't even have any bones on her butt. Meat makes people feel distressed, "Didn't Fifth Miss eat well?"

"After washing up, let's go out to a restaurant. I have money." Lingqian took out a 10 tael banknote from her purse.

Cat's eyes widened instantly, "This is too, too much!"

"And this." Lingqian took out a few more gold beads from her purse.

"..." Cat was completely speechless.

She is indeed a young lady from a wealthy family!
Half an hour later, Mao'er was walking down the street holding Lingqian's little hand.

Mao'er had no memory and no impression of the capital, so he was very excited to see the bustling market.

"Mao'er, how old are you this year?" After leaving the palace, Lingqian's mood was obviously much brighter, and her eyes were shining like the stars in the sky.

For beauty, there is no distinction between age and gender. Simply liking her is enough to make her very happy. Mao Er feels that she is very honored.

"I don't remember much. Look at your body, you are fifteen or sixteen years old?" Mao'er is not sure, because some people may be skinny and skinny throughout their lives, with no ups and downs...

In the Yunji Restaurant not far from them.

A man as handsome as a god stood by the window, looking in the direction of Lingqian and Mao'er.

He Rong followed his master's gaze and was shocked, "Miss Fifth! Why is she on the street?"

"Go check that maid." Yang Xuanling was more concerned about Mao'er.

Xiao Wu, who couldn't even be touched by him now, actually took the initiative to hold that girl's hand...

"Yes, Your Majesty." He Rong immediately took the order and went out.

"Miss Fifth, do you want to eat roast duck?" Mao'er said and his mouth started to water.

Lingqian also moved her index finger, her eyes glowing green, "If you want, I want to eat two." "Okay, here are two big roast ducks. The boss will chop them up for you." Mao'er took a golden bead. , handed it to the landlady.

After the lady boss finished weighing them, she gave them some scraps of silver and said, "Pack them away right away. Our store is having an event today. If you buy two roast ducks, you will get a gourd of hawthorn stuffed wine."

"Thank you, boss lady. But we are two people, can you give us another gourd?"

"Okay." The landlady took another pot, "Is this your sister? She's so pretty, just like the one in the painting."

"she"

"Well, she is my sister, Sister Mao'er." Lingqian said quickly.

Mao'er was stunned for a moment and looked at Lingqian.

It wasn't until the proprietress handed her the chopped duck that she came to her senses and said, "Thank you, proprietress, and congratulations on getting rich."

"Thank you for your kind words~ Have a good meal and come back next time." The landlady greeted warmly.

"no problem."

Mao'er took the fattest duck leg and handed it to Lingqian, "You must be starving."

Lingqian took it unceremoniously and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Yang Xuanling, who was standing by the window, saw this scene, his eyes became deeper and deeper...

The two of them ate while shopping. They finished two plump roast ducks without even realizing it.And the hawthorn wine given by the landlady was just melted without any greasy taste.

"Sister Mao'er, let's go find my mother?" Lingqian said to Mao'er.

Mao'er was still thinking about whether it was time to return home. After all, the eldest lady had been out for a while, and maybe people in the mansion were looking for her.

"Miss Fifth, want to see the princess?"

"Well, I miss my mother so much." Lingqian took her hand, her eyes full of hope and prayer.

Mao'er was the most soft-hearted. He looked into her eyes and said, "Okay, let's go find the princess."

"Thank you, Sister Mao'er, you are the best." Lingqian's face was filled with a hearty smile.

Mao'er finally came back to her senses and immediately grinned... What did she just promise?
……

Having money is good.

Lingqian opened her mouth and bought a carriage, driven by Mao'er, driving her towards the outside of the capital.

The cat was a little uneasy.But she is a slave, and she must do whatever her master asks her to do. This is the first rule of being a slave in the Huaining Palace.

She just listened to the fifth lady and went to find the princess. She definitely didn’t encourage the fifth lady to run away from home!
Woohoo~ She can’t help herself!

Lingqian climbed out of the carriage happily, holding a bag of soft and sweet yam and jujube cake in her hand.

"Sister Mao'er, let me eat it for you."

"No, no need, I'm still full from the roast duck."

"Then I'll eat first."

"Yeah." Cat could see that she had a huge appetite. She was so thin and had been hungry for who knows how long. She was really pitiful.

"Fifth Miss"

"Don't call me Miss Fifth. Call me sister or Lingqian outside. Otherwise, how can we be like sisters?"

"Sister... sister?"

"Well, yes."

"Well, sister, do you know where the princess's tomb is?" Mao'er thought she was going to the cemetery of Princess Huaining.

Lingqian replied: "That tomb is fake, my mother is still alive."
