She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Concubine Lin's expression softened a bit, but she still didn't believe that Zique's allies had any good ideas.

But there is no good way at the moment. If she really wants to put all her bets on Zique, she can't do it.

Concubine Lin did appreciate him, but after just a few days of getting along, she couldn't trust him unconditionally.

"Concubine, you don't believe me?"

Concubine Lin snorted coldly: "Zique, please tell me why I believe you."

Zique frowned and knelt down with his clothes. He looked at Concubine Lin and vowed.

"My Imperial Concubine, Zique was selected by the Imperial Concubine from that dark little room. From then on, Zique decided to follow the Imperial Concubine for the rest of her life."

After saying that, Zique handed the clothes to Concubine Lin and took a soup filled with water.

Concubine Lin looked at him with some confusion: "What do you mean?"

"My dear concubine, Zique swears on my life that you only need to wear this dress to the temple fair to pray for blessings. Just bring Zique with you and leave the rest to my slave."

This was the first time for Concubine Lin to meet such a courageous slave. After much deliberation, she finally agreed.

After all, as a slave, he wouldn't survive if something happened to his master.

Thousands of people gathered, and the emperor's favor was overwhelming. The emperor sat on a golden chariot, followed by many princes.

Every year, the palace chooses a specific time to come to the temple to pray for blessings at dawn and for the benefit of the people.

Concubine Lin sat next to the emperor and handed him a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, it's a long journey, so let's drink a cup of tea to soothe your throat."

The emperor looked at Concubine Lin with a serious expression.

"The imperial concubine has the fragrance of magnolia on her body."

Concubine Lin smiled shyly: "The fragrance of magnolia was inhaled by the servants in the concubine's special palace. I still remember that it was in the magnolia that my concubine and the emperor first met."

Many years passed by, and the emperor would still reminisce about the good memories of that year. He drank all the tea in the cup and gently hugged Concubine Lin's waist.

"Thank you for your hard work, concubine, on the harem matters."

Mo Yunzheng and his party followed the emperor. They looked at the emperor and Concubine Lin quarreling with each other and smiled lightly. They looked like they were watching a show, which made Ye Xuwan a little stunned.

Not far away, Zique was also following Concubine Lin. She was respectful and looked nothing like someone from a romantic land.

Ye Xuwan sighed inwardly, the young man really has a future.

The temple for praying was halfway up the mountain, and Ye Xuwan was out of breath before she could keep up with Mo Yunzheng.

The smell of incense in the temple was very strong, and Ye Xuwan was not used to it. She retreated out of habit and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, but it didn't help.

Mo Yunzheng turned his head, took out a sachet from his sleeve and put it in Ye Xuwan's hand.

The sachet smelled of osmanthus. For some reason, Ye Xuwan always felt that Mo Yunzheng's body smelled of osmanthus.

Ye Xuwan didn't say anything, and quietly held the sachet in her hand. When she couldn't bear the fumes, she picked it up and smelled it.

Well, His Royal Highness rarely has a warm side. Can this thing be mass-produced?

The temple was already too hot because of too many candles. The abbot in front muttered something that Ye Xuwan couldn't understand. She yawned out of boredom, but Mo Yunzheng smacked her back on the spot.

"Your Highness."

Ye Xuwan looked at him resentfully: "What's wrong?"

"You will know why I asked Zique to come over in a moment."

Mo Yunzheng's voice was low, but there was still some excitement in his tone.

The candlelight in the temple swayed, surrounding the emperor and Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin felt hot all over just standing there.

Liu Er stood beside Concubine Lin, watching the bright yellow color on Concubine Lin becoming more and more conspicuous, and her heart could not help but rise to her throat. Zique walked to the imperial concubine calmly and dropped the Tang Pozi in his hand.

Before Ye Xuwan understood what was going on, a burst of noise suddenly broke the tranquility in the temple.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! This slave deserves to die!"

Zique hurriedly knelt on the ground, as if he knew he had committed some heinous crime, his legs could not help but tremble.

Zique was already very beautiful, but now his eyes were reddish and filled with tears, and Ye Xuwan couldn't help but admire him.

Finally, I felt the expressions on their boys’ faces when they looked at the green tea.

The emperor frowned and turned around, only to see that Concubine Lin's dress was wet, and the white lining leaked out, making a large area wet.

"Zique, what's wrong with you?"

Upon seeing this, Liu'er hurriedly ran over and knelt down. He glanced at the somewhat angry emperor.

"Your Majesty, calm down. This is the eunuch I just picked. I thought he was smart, but he turned out to be clumsy."

Concubine Lin's eyes trembled slightly, as if she understood what Zique meant in an instant. She smiled and gently covered the emperor's hand.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry in front of the Buddha. Today is a special day. I think this little eunuch didn't do it on purpose, so let him be spared."

Hearing what Concubine Lin said, the emperor nodded.

"Since the noble concubine has said so, I won't say anything else. The noble concubine should go and change clothes quickly, otherwise it will be bad if you catch a cold."

Concubine Lin nodded, stood up, took Liu'er and Zique back to the guest room prepared in the temple.

Ye Xuwan looked confused, but Mo Yunzheng looked very satisfied.

After the prayers were over and the sky had darkened when they returned to the palace, Ye Xuwan took a lot of Mo Yunzheng's favorite things for dinner in the imperial kitchen. When she was about to pack up and go back to the room to rest, she was grabbed by him. Hold your wrist.

"It's getting late, and I see you haven't had dinner either, so why not have dinner with Gu?"

Ye Xuwan was stunned for a few seconds.

"Your Highness, this is against the rules."

Saying that, Ye Xuwan pulled back her hand and laughed awkwardly.

"There is no reason for a master and his servants to eat together."

Hearing this, Mo Yunzheng raised his eyebrows.

He put down the chopsticks, supported his head with one hand, and put the other hand on the table. His long knuckles tapped the table regularly, making a clicking sound.

"Little Ye Zi, you know how Gu treats you."

Ye Xuwan was frightened by Mo Yunzheng's words.

After all, he had something to hide from him.

Being asked like this by Mo Yunzheng, it would be strange not to feel guilty.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very kind to his servants. With so many servants in the palace, how can Little Ye Zi be so lucky?"

"Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness is kind-hearted and very lenient to his servants? His Royal Highness is the best master I have ever seen."

After speaking, Ye Xuwan did not forget to smile to show her sincerity.

Ye Xuwan's polite words made Mo Xinzheng's ears go numb, but unexpectedly, Mo Yunzheng never got tired of hearing them.

I saw that his mood was aroused a little, and he asked again.

"Isn't it true that you do whatever you say?"

Ye Xuwan nodded hastily: "It's necessary."
