Beauty Scheming: Remnant King and Concubine

Chapter 3

The queen mother took her hand and said kindly: "Liang Ruo, Ai's family came tonight for one thing only, and that is to reward two maids as dowry maids for you. Among the maids who have been taking care of you these days, you have taken a fancy to her." Anyone will tell Aijia."

Ji Liangruo was overwhelmed by the flattery: "Being loved by the Queen Mother, this matter should be decided by the Queen Mother. Liangruo never thought that the Queen Mother has such a gift, and he didn't pay special attention to it."

"That's it...then Dongyue and Xun'er."

"Yes." Ji Liangruo thought about these two maids, they were a little different from the others, the Queen Mother must have chosen them long ago.Then their usefulness is probably not just for dowry...

Just thinking about it, the queen mother asked: "Do you remember that three years ago, after the fourth prince recovered from his injury, the Ai family rewarded him with two beauties?"

"Some impression." She replied.

The queen mother glanced at her, her face condensed: "You have been in the palace for so many years, you always talk less and do more, but you must have seen a lot. Aijia believes that you are a sensible person, so you don't play riddles!"

Ji Liangruo's lips trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Ai's family suspects that the fourth prince has a different intention! You are not really going to be a princess, but to help Ai's family watch his every move, especially his possible alliance with the second prince!" The queen mother looked at her, " The beauties I visited last time were named Ruixue and Chanjuan. Among them, Ruixue was sent by Ai’s family, but she didn’t find out anything—even if the fourth child really broke his leg, hehe! , I don’t know if she is really that useless, or she has already betrayed Aijia! I hope——you don’t let Aijia down..."

Ji Liangruo knelt on the ground with a plop: "This servant must live up to the Queen Mother's mission."

The queen mother raised her lips slightly, and helped her up: "This is good. As long as you are loyal, Ruji and the eighth princess will be fine."

Ji Liangruo felt cold all over, the queen mother was threatening her with her aunt and cousin?

However, she had no choice.After hearing what the queen mother said, if she didn't accept it, the queen mother would definitely get rid of her...

"Okay, the Ai family will not disturb your rest." The queen mother looked at her expression, showing a satisfied but sinister smile, "Go to the palace, if you don't understand anything, just ask Dongyue, the Ai family has trained her for many years, she I will cooperate with you well. Also, look at what Ruixue is doing, if she really betrayed Aijia, you will get rid of her!"

"The Queen Mother..." Ji Liangruo was startled, did the Queen Mother mean to let her kill someone?

Seeing her terrified look, the queen mother suddenly changed her mind: "Forget it. Ruixue has been away for three years and has gained nothing, and it is useless to stay. You will get rid of her! At most half a year, the Ai family will see the result, so that you can get rid of her." Prove that you are really doing things for Aijia! Otherwise...you know what the consequences will be!"

Liang Ruo stayed where he was, unable to react.She has already seen her end: when she is useless, the queen mother will treat her like Ruixue...

How to do?She can't swim in this muddy water!

but……

If she doesn't accept it, she will die now...

Suddenly there was a eunuch shouting outside, and she realized that the queen mother had already left.She went limp and fell to the ground.

Two maids walked in from the door, they were Dongyue and Xun'er assigned to her by the Queen Mother.

Seeing her sitting on the ground, Xun'er quickly walked over and helped her up: "Why is the princess sitting on the ground?"

"I..." She looked up at Dongyue, Dongyue glanced at her a little arrogantly, and blew out a candle in front of her with a puff.

"Ah!" Xun'er whispered, "Dongyue, what are you doing?"

Dongyue went to blow out the remaining candles again: "It's time for the princess to go to bed, so naturally the lights have to be turned off. Please wait for the princess to sleep, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Okay." Xun'er hurriedly helped Liang Ruo onto the bed, and put down the bed curtain.

There was only one lamp left in the house, so Dongyue cut off a candle and said to Xun'er, "Go back to sleep, I'll keep watch here."

"No need." Ji Liangruo said on the bed, "You all go to sleep well, lest you do something wrong in a daze at dawn."

Dongyue guessed that she was stimulated and wanted to be quiet for a while, so she agreed.
