Presumably he did not expect King Xu to speak so harshly, the housekeeper was taken aback, and obediently complied.
Yu Linglong looked on coldly, couldn't help but smiled, and suddenly asked, "What's your last name?"
The steward lowered his head deeply, and said, "If you go back to the princess, the slave's surname is Zhao."
Yu Linglong nodded and said, "Steward Zhao, you go tell Xing Yun to hand over the key to the housekeeper, and she can stay."
Xu Wang was startled: "Linglong"
Yu Linglong ignored him and said to Steward Zhao, "Go."
Steward Zhao took a peek at Xu Wang's expression and saw that he had no objection, so he stepped back to pass on the message.
Xu Wang frowned slightly, and said: "You don't like that girl? Just throw her out, why keep it?"
Yu Linglong walked straight forward, with a hint of coldness on her pretty face: "She wants to serve you, doesn't she? Then give her a chance."
I'll give you a way to survive. If you don't go, if you insist on hitting the south wall to your death, then my sister will give you a ride!
Now Yu Linglong is completely sure that there must be something wrong with Xing Yun, yesterday she treated Xing Yun so harshly, this girl is not even afraid, she still lives in the palace and refuses to leave, what is the reason
She didn't believe in Xing Yun's performance of loyalty. If Xing Yun was only trying to cling to King Xu, then the price she paid would be too high.
What's more, she has seen Yu Linglong's tricks before, and Xu Wang's infatuation with Yu Linglong is well known. She is a little girl, and she insists on having a leg when Xu Wang and the princess are newly married. Could it be that Xu Wang has taken a fancy to it? Even if she took ten thousand steps back, she could become King Xu's man, but with a fierce concubine like Yu Linglong around, could she have a good life
Xing Yun doesn't look like an idiot, if not to seduce Prince Xu, then what is the purpose of her staying in Prince Xu's mansion? What made her willing to take the risk of being tortured by Yu Linglong to stay in Prince Xu's Mansion
After sending Yu Linglong back to the room, King Xu went to the study.
Just after taking off her makeup, someone said outside: "Qi Wangfei, the congratulatory gifts received yesterday have been counted, please have a look at them."
When it comes to money, Yu Linglong always refuses anyone who comes, the more the better, the gift she received from the palace today, she has already let Limerocallis put it away, when she heard that there is more outside, she said: "Come in."
A person who looked like a daughter-in-law in charge came in, saluted respectfully, and said, "My servant is from Wu Maocai's family, please greet the princess."
Yu Linglong hummed and said, "Get up."
Wu Maocai's family stood up and brought up a booklet: "My lord, this is the account of the congratulations. All things are stored in the two halls to the west of the warehouse. Please have a look at it."
Yu Linglong took the notebook and looked at it, she saw the small script on it, she remembered it very clearly, it was nothing more than gold and silver, jewellery, ornaments, antiques and so on, she flipped through it a bit, but there was nothing surprising.
Inadvertently raising her eyes, she saw Wu Maocai's family was hesitant to speak, as if in a dilemma, Yu Linglong asked, "What else can I do?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Linglong was so shrewd, Wu Maocai's family showed a look of sincerity and fear, and said respectfully: "Yes... it is the son of the Gan family who sent a congratulatory gift, and said that the princess must be invited to see it in person."
Rain
Yu Linglong paused, and said, "What is it?"
Wu Maocai's family said: "I don't dare to look at it." Then he offered a half-foot-square jade box carved with phoenix.
Yu Linglong opened the box, inside was a layer of moon-white silk, gently opened it, revealing the contents inside.
Two bright pearls slightly larger than chicken eggs lie quietly in the box, surrounded by delicate and soft silk and satin, exuding lustrous brilliance. What's rare is that the two pearls are about the same size, and the color and texture are exactly the same, making them a good pair.
There was a folded piece of paper next to the Pearl, Yu Linglong picked up the paper without looking at it, and threw it into the incense burner with twigs of peonies and green leaves next to her hand.
A small flame burst out from the dark red charcoal, and soon the paper was reduced to ashes.
Wu Maocai's family on the side saw it, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The concubine has just married into the mansion, if she reads this letter, she will be accused of passing it on privately, but if she doesn't bring this gift, how dare she, a servant, offend Mr. Gan.
Moreover, no one can figure out the temper of this new princess, and who would dare to figure out the master's mind privately.
Now that the concubine treated her like this, she finally let go of the worries she had been worrying about for a long time.
Yu Linglong closed the lid of the box, handed it back to Wu Maocai's family, and said: "The congratulatory gift from the Gan family should be registered as it is."
Wu Maocai's family answered "yes" and left the room.
The room returned to calm, Yu Linglong looked at the smoker rising from the incense burner with no expression on her face.
Although she hadn't read many ancient poems, Yu Linglong guessed the meaning of Gan Lin's gift of pearls the moment she saw the pair of pearls.
The king knows that the concubine has a husband, so I give the concubine double pearls.
She didn't need to read the note, and she didn't want to read it. His devotion had never had anything to do with her.
A faint fragrance lingered in her nose, Yu Linglong withdrew her thoughts, and called out in a deep voice: "Ling'er."
Ling'er came in in response: "What is the princess' order?"
Yu Linglong's eyes fell on the set of red gold sewing boxes given by Mrs. Shi in front of the dressing table, and a cold smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Keep an eye on that Xingyun, if there is anything wrong with it, take it down immediately!"
…
Xingyun didn't make her wait for long, and the next night, she was tied up and sent to Yu Linglong's room.
King Xu left the house but did not return, Yu Linglong was dressed in a crimson Shu Brocade dress with gold engraved peony pattern, sitting upright at the head, looking at Xing Yun with a cold expression on his face.
Xingyun had suffered a great loss under Yu Linglong's hands. Seeing this situation, he knelt down with a plop, and cried: "Princess, please spare this servant, I know I was wrong."
"I know I'm wrong?" Yu Linglong sneered, "I'm tired of hearing that."
Didn't Xingyun keep saying that he knew he was wrong last time? It's only been two days. Didn't he commit another crime
Ling'er on the side stepped forward and kicked Xingyun, kicking her to the ground at once, then turned her head and said to Yu Linglong: "Princess, someone saw her sneaking around outside the prince's study, she must have evil intentions! No! Let her go easily!"
After hearing this, Xingyun immediately called out for grievances: "Princess, I am wronged by this servant, this servant just wants to see if the prince has any orders, so then"
Yu Linglong snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If the lord has an order, he will naturally let people in. It's not your first day as a maid, don't you even know the rules?"
Want to use this nonsense to fool her? Xing Yun really underestimated her!
Xingyun was paralyzed on the ground, the makeup on his face was in a mess from crying, but his hands were tied again, and he couldn't even wipe it off, so he could only beg for mercy with tears in his eyes: "Your servant is really wronged! Princess, please forgive me, woo woo "
Yu Linglong had already sent away everyone outside, so she wasn't afraid of her crying, and when her crying became quieter, she opened her mouth in a leisurely manner.
"Tell me, who sent you to monitor the prince?"
These words were like a thunderclap, Xing Yun almost stopped breathing in fright.
Impossible, the princess has only been married for two days, how could she know her identity? She obviously didn't reveal any flaws, how could the princess know her plan
The princess must be cheating on her!
Thinking of this, Xingyun cried more and more miserably: "Princess, slave... I don't understand what you mean. I really just serve the prince and concubine wholeheartedly, and I have no other intentions!"
Seeing Xingyun desperately showing his loyalty, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yu Linglong's mouth.
I want to cover it up!
At first, she just doubted Xingyun's identity. If she was just an ordinary servant, she would definitely not dare to provoke her, the new princess, but Xingyun not only provoked her, but also dared to speak out against her, which aroused her suspicion .
If it wasn't for someone to back her up, how could a little servant have such courage
Apart from Yu Linglong, the master of this mansion is Xu Wang. With Xu Wang's temperament, he would never let a maid come to test her, and he has no reason to do so.
So, who is the mastermind behind Xingyun
Xu Wang asked Steward Zhao to drive away some suspicious people, but Xing Yun refused to leave, preferring to give up the power of the housekeeper, but also to stay in Xu Wang's mansion, so what is her purpose
A small servant who neither wants the favor of the master nor the power of the housekeeper, but is willing to stay as an ordinary maid, then there is only one possibility: there is someone else behind Xingyun.
But today, Xing Yun was caught outside Xu Wang's study, confirming Yu Linglong's guess that Xing Yun stayed in the palace to monitor Xu Wang's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Yu Linglong really felt that Xu Wang was quite a sad person, every day he was surrounded by a group of people openly and secretly, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were watching his every move.
Perhaps, this is the reason why he wants to disguise himself.
Glancing at the aggrieved Xingyun, Yu Linglong took a sip of her tea and said flatly, "I don't want to talk? Would you like me to help you?"
Hearing Yu Linglong's words, Xing Yun couldn't help shivering greatly, and the arm that was stabbed that day suddenly felt a dull pain.
Xing Yun gritted his teeth, struggled to get up from the ground, knelt down towards Yu Linglong, his forehead touched the ground heavily, making a muffled bang bang.
Her voice was full of tears, and she also had a bit of shame in her tone. She sobbed in a low voice: "Princess, please forgive me. In fact, this servant... this servant really admires the prince and wants to be by his side forever. That's why..."
She speaks hesitantly, with a desire
