Not to mention that Xiao Zheng is not a nosy person. Unless it is a matter of principle, Xiao Zheng does not like to interfere in other people's lives. Of course, even if he had the intention at this moment, he probably wouldn't have the ability.
He was wearing the work clothes Momochi Mitsui had prepared for him, and his status in the palace was low, even lower than that of a full-time palace maid. Since he had to adapt to his status, he was naturally not qualified to compete with a young woman who was dressed luxuriously and accompanied by two palace maids.
Xiao Zheng knew that this was not a place where he could pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. If he's not careful, a group of real tigers will tear him apart.
"Who?" Xiao Zheng tilted his head and asked Bai Di Sanjing.
"Villain." Baidi Mitsui's brows and eyes were full of coldness.
Villain
A hint of amusement flashed across Xiao Zheng's lips. Is he a villain in spirit, or does his status not be enough
If it was the former, Xiao Zheng felt that Ling Lai, who was not favored, could still endure it. If it's the latter, that's really annoying.
The dignified niece of the emperor, in ancient China, was a serious contemporary of the prince. If she was a little more powerful and popular, even the prince would favor her. Princes who have no inheritance rights have to fawn even more. But when we got here, someone stood at the door and shouted. In ancient times, execution at Lingchi would have been considered light.
"Princess Yoshiko. What do you have to do with His Highness the Prince?" Even though Baiji Mitsui said this, he still went up to her with a very humble attitude.
Turns out he was a princess
Xiao Zheng knew the rules in the Japanese palace, and most princesses were not members of the orthodox royal family. But he was born from a side relative. However, because the father's generation is powerful and the next generation is favored, the title of princess is given.
For example, Princess Yoshiko in front of her is the granddaughter of the Emperor's cousin. When it comes to status, he is naturally inferior to Prince Ling Lainei. Even based on her seniority, she still had to address Ling Lai as aunt. But looking at her current posture, she didn't have any respect for Ling Lai. He clearly came here to find trouble.
"Your Highness the Prince?" Princess Fangzi sneered, her face full of disdain. "Does the royal family recognize her as His Royal Highness? She is not qualified to attend every external event, right?"
Baichi Mitsui did not want to get entangled with him, but still asked humbly: "Princess Fangzi, what do you want to do with His Highness?"
"It's nothing. It's just that the pot of flowers she gave me last time withered. I want to ask if she is playing tricks on me. Or is she deliberately making me look embarrassed?" Princess Fangzi said in a deep voice. "Others don't bother to talk to her. I kindly accompany her to the garden and bask in the sun, but she is kind enough to give me a pot of dead flowers. What, do you think I am easy to bully?"
"The flower was carefully cultivated by His Highness. Before giving it to the princess, he repeatedly told her that it needs careful care. Now that it is necrotic, how can it be blamed on His Highness?" Although Mitsui Momochi is a servant, he does not allow his master to be taken care of. People are so humiliated. When it's time to argue, she won't be soft-spoken. "Your Highness has been raising her for three years without any problems, but she died of necrosis when she arrived at the monarch's house. Can't you blame Your Highness for this?"
"Old woman!" Princess Fangzi shouted angrily. "Are you insinuating that I don't know how to grow flowers?"
"The old woman just thinks that the princess has wrongly blamed His Highness." Baiji Mitsui said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Princess Fangzi was very angry, but she didn't know how to fight back. He just glared at Baiji Mitsui for a few times, gritted his teeth and said: "Just wait, I will make you look good!"
"Princess, please go slowly." Baidi Mitsui bowed his head slightly and greeted Princess Fangzi respectfully.
The group of people left aggressively, and Xiao Zheng slowly stepped forward and whispered: "It seems that the quality of life of His Highness is not as good as that of a commoner like me."
"So His Highness needs Mr. Xiao's help." Baidi Mitsui said in a gentle manner. "As long as this can be accomplished, Mr. Xiao will be His Highness's great benefactor. If you need anything in Tokyo in the future, Mr. Xiao can just ask."
Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
After wandering around the upper class, Xiao Zheng gradually realized that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, backup was essential. Especially in the top circles, force often cannot solve all problems. Only a truly powerful force can make itself invincible.
Of course, strong force can at least ensure that you live long enough. He would not die under a conspiracy that was not carefully planned.
Enter the exclusive residence of Prince Ling Lainei. As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a pond of about 20 square meters of flowers and flowers. A few red carps were swimming in the pond, which was crystal clear. The flowers are in bloom, and the fragrance is fragrant, which is very pleasant.
"It seems that Prince Ling Lai is a person with good taste in life." Xiao Zheng praised sincerely.
"It's just fun in the midst of suffering." Baiji Mitsui said implicitly.
"Do you want to enjoy the hardships? Or do you have to work hard to gain more experience?" Xiao Zheng lowered his voice, and a hint of amusement appeared on the corner of his lips.
Baidi Mitsui didn't say much, he just extended his hand to lead Xiao Zheng into the main hall.
In the main hall, Prince Ling Lainei, who was sitting in a wheelchair and wearing plain clothes, had been waiting for a long time.
She applied a little pink and white, and there was a hint of landscape color between her eyebrows. What's more, he has picturesque features and graceful temperament. A waterfall of black hair was pulled back casually. The skin is white and tender, and the temperament is outstanding. If a pair of bad legs hadn't delayed her, she would have definitely been one of the best among people, a descendant who could bring glory to the royal family.
It's a pity that one pair of legs ruined her life. Even a junior from the branch dared to scream at her door. It cannot be said that I am not aggrieved, nor can I say that I am not helpless.
"Your Highness the Prince." Xiao Zheng walked forward very politely and said hello with a smile.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Xiao." Ling Lai pushed the wheelchair herself, without needing the help of others. He slowly came to the table and said with a calm smile. "Mr. Xiao, I just made you laugh."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said. Then he showed a look of confusion. "A mere princess dares to shout at the door of His Highness the Prince. Isn't it too much to bully others?"
"It doesn't matter." Ling Lai shook her head gently. "Why should I argue with a junior?"
Xiao Zheng gave a thumbs up and said: "His Royal Highness is indeed broad-minded and admirable."
Ling Lai smiled and said: "Every step of the palace is filled with murderous intent, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed. Rather than being broad-minded, it is better to say that you are compromising."
"His Royal Highness has a profound realm." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Ling Lai raised his eyes slightly and asked slowly: "Is everything ready, Mr. Xiao?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded. "The only thing missing is His Highness the Prince."
After a brief pause, Xiao Zheng asked in confusion: "But I still have a question."
"Mr. Xiao, please speak." Ling Lai said with a slight smile.
"The person you brought in killed Ito." Xiao Zheng asked with a calm look. "How will you explain it to your mother afterwards?"
