Chapter 31: The scheming of the palace maid
"The slave didn't throw a hug to His Highness, the slave just fell by accident."
"I accidentally fell, why didn't you fall somewhere, but fell into His Highness's arms?" She looked at me and sneered: "It seems that you saw that Your Highness pampered Mrs. Ben in the dormitory last night and pampered me, so you thought that Your Highness would also look at you differently?" β
My face turned pale: "No." The slave didn't think so. β
"Really?"
Seeing that she seemed to be about to have a seizure, I lowered my eyes and said softly: "Madam, the slave maid knows her identity very well, and she only does her own duty when she follows Madame's side, and the slave and maid never dare to be favored by His Royal Highness, please Madame must believe in the slave maid." β
Listening to me say so deferentially, Yao Yingxue had no room to attack, and she glared at me for a while before slowly letting go of her hand.
"Okay, Yue Qingying, you'd better do what you say, otherwiseβdon't blame Mrs. Ben's subordinates for showing no mercy!"
"Yes."
I leaned over again, and then I slowly stood up with the door frame, my two legs didn't seem to be my own, plus the cold water on my head and face, the wolf was unbearable, and Yao Yingxue waved her sleeves in disgust: "Get out!" β
It wasn't a long walk from her mansion to my room, but it was a particularly difficult part of the way, and I stumbled several times and was about to fall to the ground, and my hands could only hold firmly on the rough wall and stumble back.
Just as I was walking to a narrow passage, I suddenly saw a beautiful figure walking towards me at the end of the red wall, and when she walked in front of me, I gave her a blessing with difficulty: "Miss Jin Qiao." β
She didn't seem to even see me, and walked straight ahead, and I passed her.
But as soon as he took two steps, he heard a quiet voice behind him: "I can't see that you are quite scheming." β
I was stunned, looked back at her, and saw that she also turned back slowly, and her dignified and pretty face was a faint expression, just like this late autumn weather, cold and quiet.
I smiled: "Miss Jin Qiao is talking to the slave?" β
"Could it be that there is a second person in this Shangyang Palace who can play with the dignified Mrs. Yingxue?"
"Toying?" I laughed dumbly: "Is Miss Jin Qiao joking with Qingying?" Qingying is just a slave maid, how dare she play with the wife of the dignified son? β
She smiled, walked over to me step by step, and said, "The Third Highness has been looking for a candidate for this lady for a long time. And I was born in a merchant family, and I am a concubine, so I don't have this blessing. Although I don't know why His Royal Highness canonized her as a lady as soon as he came, but snubbing her these days is to see her temperament and whether she is qualified to be a woman of the prince. β
As I listened to her words, my heart grew heavier and heavier.
"If it weren't for you," she walked up to me and looked into my eyes: "Privately withhold the silver that Mrs. Yingxue gave to Gonggong Liu, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness would have already seen that she was only a first-class red and green lotus, where would she have such an opportunity to go to the dormitory to accompany her?" β
I was taken aback and looked at her with wide eyes.
