Quick Wear: Another day when the villain is paying for it

Li De is a shrewd man. The emperor is talking about him, not the new personal maid.

His eyes rolled around in circles and he walked to Xu Ning with a smile.

"Madam Xu, please go away. You don't have to work any more."

Xu Ning was still angry: "No, I'm not hungry now."

Even though he was turned down, Li De was not angry and continued to speak kindly:

"Madam Xu hasn't tasted our food yet, it's first-rate. If you don't go now, the people below will share it, and you'll have to wait until night to eat again."

As expected of an old man who stays by the emperor's side, he speaks to the point.

Xu Ning's expression relaxed, and she touched her stomach and nodded: "Now that Manager Li mentioned that, I am indeed hungry."

"Miss Xu is too polite. From now on, we will serve the emperor together. Just call me Li De."

Li De had sharp eyes. It was obvious that the emperor was interested in this palace maid. In his opinion, she would at least be a concubine. If he flattered her now, he would gain a lot of benefits in the future.

"Manager Li can also call me Xu Ning."

Li De just smiled and didn't respond.

The two of them arrived at the dining area and walked to the door. Li De suddenly slapped his head:

"I forgot that my godsons have something to ask me. Miss Xu, you eat first. I'll come back later."

Without giving Xu Ning a chance to react, he ran far away with the dustpan.

Xu Ning: Alas...

What's the urgent matter?

Away from Xu Ning's sight, Li De slowed down his pace and walked towards the imperial study.

On the way, he met a young eunuch, who greeted him:

"Godfather, didn't you go out to eat? Why are you back again?"

Li De knocked him on the head with a dustpan and warned him: "Don't ask about certain things, remember that."

The young eunuch felt wronged: "...I know, godfather."

Li De didn't want to see his crying face: "Okay, is His Majesty in the Imperial Study?"

"Inside, I just went in an incense stick ago."

"Okay, then go down."

"Oh."

"Oh, right." Li De reached out and grabbed him again, reminding him, "Remember, don't mess with that Lady Xu. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you."

The young eunuch didn't understand, but nodded: "I understand, godfather."

"Go ahead." Li De waved his hand at him and went towards the imperial study.

When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he took a deep breath, leaned forward and knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, Lady Xu has gone to eat."

After waiting for a while, a man's voice came from inside, "I know."

Only then did Li De step back, stand outside the door a few steps, and wait dutifully.

Inside the palace.

Mo Jinghuai sat behind the desk, holding a brush in his hand and correcting memorials, and did not move for a long time.

The image of the little palace maid is all in my mind.

He put down his pen, rubbed his forehead, and called the secret guard: "Go and check Xu Ning's information. The more detailed the better."

A dark shadow flashed by, and only an extremely cold "Yes!" could be heard in the hall.

After dinner, Xu Ning asked about the time and decided to return the same way.

So that the troublesome man won’t use this as an opportunity to play tricks on me.

As soon as she went out, a green figure rushed over and hugged her arms.

"Ningning, why did you come out just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time." She said angrily.

No, who are you?

Xu Ning pulled her hands away and looked at her face.

She was wearing the uniform attire of a palace maid, had a pretty face, and a pair of upturned, squinting eyes, which made her look a little cunning.

I seem to have seen it before, but I'm not familiar with it.
