Jiaochu

After Wu'er left, Weiyang Palace added two new maids, one named Linglong and the other named Gui'er. The former is one year older than the latter, has a more outstanding appearance, and is more clever. Although the latter looks a bit stupid, he is serious and practical in his work and has great strength. Other maids may not be able to lift a bucket of water with both hands, but she can lift it with one hand. After Ye Lingxi accidentally discovered this matter, she felt that the other party was a good young man who practiced martial arts. After a few days of After observing, she felt that this little palace maid could be used, so she asked Bell to bring her here alone, and she wanted to inspect it in person.

Guier was watering the flowers in the yard when she heard someone calling her, so she walked over with a kettle for watering the flowers. Before she could reach the bell, Linglong rushed in front of her with a smile on her face and called Lingdang sister, and Lingdang asked her He went to light the tea stove and took Guier away without saying much to her.

After Ye Lingxi asked Guier some questions, Linglong came over again and went directly into the room to say that the tea stove was ready. Lingdang scolded her for not knowing the rules. Before she could say a few words, she cried aggrievedly.

"Why are you crying? Who let you in? This is the palace, not your home. You can go wherever you want and don't back down!"

With the sound of the bell, Linglong retreated, lowering her head and slowly moving out.

Two days later, Ye Lanchen came to Weiyang Palace for dinner.

Linglong dressed up specially and deliberately fell down to attract attention. When Guier went over to help her up, she looked delicate and weak again.

Pearl glanced over with a warning look, and Linglong lowered her head guiltily.

"Father, Lingxi is hungry." Ye Lingxi puffed up his snow-white cheeks, making both Ye Lanchen and Concubine Lan laugh.

After dinner, Ye Lanchen and Concubine Lan talked for a while and then went to the imperial study.

Linglong stood by the window and peeked. The next moment, Lingdang came into the room and said, "The princess asked you to come over, let's go."

When the bell brought the person over, Ye Lingxi was practicing calligraphy and did not even raise his head to look at Linglong.

Linglong stood there with her head lowered, feeling uneasy inside. Her legs were numb from standing, and she couldn't help but ask: "Princess, is there anything wrong with the slave?" Lingdang scolded sharply, "Princess didn't ask you who asked you to speak." Hehe's tone also seemed cold, " Wait until the princess asks you before you speak."

After standing for another quarter of an hour, Linglong couldn't help but secretly move her numb feet.

Ye Lingxi glanced forward, wrote the last word, put down the brush and asked, "Does your foot still hurt?"

Linglong replied flatteringly: "Thank you for your concern, Princess, my servant is fine now."

"Is everything okay?" Ye Lingxi said a little surprised, "Is it okay so soon?"

Linglong showed a guilty look on her face, but nodded anyway. She probably thought that Ye Lingxi was easy to fool because she was young. Some people thought so before.

"What do you think of my father?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Linglong was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out what this question meant.

"The princess is asking you something, why don't you tell me quickly," said Lingdang.

Linglong said hurriedly: "The emperor is wise and brave, and loves the people like a son. It is truly a blessing for me to meet the emperor once in my lifetime."

"Have you read the book?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Linglong said: "When I was young, there was a teacher who lived next door. I studied with him for several years and can recognize some words."

"Do you know what Huang Liang Yi Meng mentioned in this book means?" Ye Ling said sharply.

Linglong hesitated and couldn't answer, "Slave...slave..."

"Don't you know this? It's a good thing that you have studied in school." Lingdang said, "Some people like to daydream. They always want to reach the sky in one step and don't know how to stay safe and do things in a down-to-earth manner."

Linglong looked embarrassed and defended in a weak voice: "Slave, I didn't..."    "It's fine if you don't. You have to abide by the rules of the palace when you enter the palace. There are so many people in this palace who want to fly up a branch and become a phoenix. The last thing is The end will not be good." Ye Lingxi said, "Father dislikes unruly people the most. If my mother and concubine were not here today, my father would not want to lose his temper. Otherwise, you would not be able to stand here and talk to me now. Speak."

Linglong was shocked when she heard this, and quickly promised that she would never have second thoughts, and would work steadily in the future and serve her master and empress with all her heart.

"It's a blessing for you to listen to what I'm telling you. If you don't listen, you won't be able to blame anyone else if you regret it in the future."

"Yes, I understand. I will definitely keep the princess's teachings in mind."

"Go down."

"The slave retire."

Linglong took a few steps and then stopped.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Linglong turned back and said, "What the princess just said to the slave was all good advice. The princess can have such insight at such a young age. The slave really admires it. There is something that I think it is better to tell the princess."

"Say it," Ye Lingxi said.

Linglong mentioned a person to Ye Lingxi, who was also a palace maid who entered the palace with her. Her appearance was not only the most outstanding but also one of the best among these palace maids. Before assigning errands, Linglong and she lived in the same room. The other party's conversational temperament was not inferior to that of a lady, and Linglong could feel that the other party was extremely ambitious and would never be willing to be a little palace maid.

Ye Lingxi asked where the palace maid was working, and Linglong replied that she was assigned to the imperial tea room.

To be assigned such a good place as the imperial tea room, this palace maid is by no means a scheming person.

The next night, Lingxi came to the imperial study room with a food box to deliver snacks to her father. After entering the courtyard, she looked around but did not see Yan Fei. She thought that he would not be on duty today, but the next moment she saw a palace maid carrying a table. She walked out of the tea room with a teacup in her hand. She was slim and graceful. Although she lowered her head slightly, she could still tell that she was a beauty.

After handing the tea to Xiao Anzi, the maid returned to the tea room.

After serving tea, Xiao Anzi stepped out and welcomed Ye Lingxi in. On the way, Ye Lingxi asked the palace maid named Furong. Xiao Anzi understood and reassured her that he would take a good look at her.

After a while, Ye Lingjue also came over.

Since the last time they stared at each other, the relationship between the two seems to have become a little awkward.

To show sincerity, Mingyue, the new king of the Yue clan, was going to come in person to sue for peace. Ye Lanchen was wondering who to send to greet him, so he called Ye Lingjue to ask for his opinion.

Ye Lingjue suggested that Yan Jiang, the leader of the Long Shadow Guard, go to greet him. After giving his reasons, Ye Lanchen nodded in affirmation.

Ye Lingxi lowered his head and ate the cake.

Ye Lanchen thought about it and decided to let Du Liang go too.

Ye Lingxi lowered his head and ate the cake.

By the time the two of them finished their discussion, there were only two pieces of pastry left on the plate. When she reached out to get another piece, Ye Lanchen smiled and said, "It seems Lingxi is hungry."

Eunuch De said very discerningly: "I will go to the imperial kitchen and ask them to bring lunch."
