"Miss Lin, the prince ordered me to tell you a few words."

Lu Quan walked in from outside, glanced at the situation in the room, and then met Lin Wan'er's anxious eyes. He paused slightly, pursed his lips, and said: "The prince said that you were indeed wronged today, but the princess has always been like this. I hope you can bear with it."

Lu Quan lowered his head and did not see the hatred that flashed across Lin Wan'er's eyes. He continued, "The prince also said that the princess was born in the Ningguo Marquisate, has a noble status, and has been well-read since childhood. She can be regarded as a role model for women in the Dali period. I hope you will be careful with your words and actions in the future and never offend the princess again."

Lin Wan'er knelt on the ground in a daze, slowly lowered her head, and murmured, "Why is this happening?"

The prince said that he would love, pamper and protect her after she entered the palace. He also said that everyone in the palace would respect and honor her, and that their children would become the prince and princess of the palace in the future.

The prince said that Xiao Yunxi had an arrogant, domineering, and sarcastic personality, and both the old lady and the princess disliked her very much.

...

But why is it different now? The old lady and the princess both favor Xiao Yunxi, and even the prince is the same.

After a moment of silence, she chuckled, raised her head, and said seriously: "The princess is of noble birth, virtuous, and has one of the best talents and temperament. I will take the princess as my goal in the future, read the classics, history, and literature, and never embarrass the prince again."

A trace of disgust flashed through Lu Quan's heart. The princess is a royal noble lady and the mistress of the house. Why are you, a slave, targeting the princess?

You are familiar with the classics, history, and literature, but can you write your own name?

Serve the old lady and the prince well, and be respectful to the princess. Maybe you can enter the mansion as a concubine in the future. Why do you insist on picking a high branch? Aren't you afraid of falling to death?

But he didn't dare to say it.

"Miss Lin, just be aware of this. The prince said he will come to see you in a few days. If you need anything, just ask Liu'er and Qing'er to come to the front yard to find me."

Lin Wan'er nodded, pretending to smile in a friendly manner and said, "Thank you for your help."

Lu Quan glanced at Lin Wan'er inconspicuously, suppressed his surprise, and returned to the study to report to the prince.

Lin Wan'er sat in the bathtub, scrubbing herself constantly and crying as she washed.

After returning to the palace, she realized how naive and stupid she was.

In terms of birth, she was a slave and Xiao Yunxi was a princess.

In terms of appearance, she is pretty and Xiao Yunxi is absolutely beautiful.

In terms of talent and learning, although she could barely read a single word, Xiao Yunxi was no worse than the top scholar.

Argument....

No matter what, she is not as good as Xiao Yunxi.

Now even Lu Jingting began to be impatient with her. Thinking about that day in Shou'an Hall, the prince might have wanted to kill her.

But in this palace, the only one she can rely on is Lu Jingting.

I can't make a fool of myself anymore. Since everyone likes Xiao Yunxi, I should learn from her. Learn her words, actions, and ways of dealing with people...

Lin Wan'er's eyes were full of ambition. One day, the mistress of the Zhennan Palace would be me, Lin Wan'er!

Early the next morning, Xiao Yunxi came to Shou'an Hall to pay her respects and met Lu Jingting at the door.

She bowed lightly, stood aside, and waited silently for Lu Jingting to go in first.

Lu Jingting looked at Xiao Yunxi's actions, sighed in his heart, said nothing, lifted the curtain and waited for her to come in, then went to pay their respects to the old lady together.

The old lady looked at her grandson and the princess coming to pay their respects, and her face was full of smiles. She asked Lu Jingting, "It has been a while since you returned to the capital. Does His Majesty have any instructions?"

After all, Lu Jingting is a military general, it is impossible for him to stay in Beijing for so long.

"Grandma, some time ago, my grandson met His Royal Highness Prince Duan," Lu Jingting glanced at Xiao Yunxi and saw her sitting upright beside him, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.

He paused, and said in a deep voice: "From what Your Highness said, my grandson will probably join the Jinwu Guard as a fourth-rank commander."

Xiao Yunxi frowned slightly. The Jinwu Guards were the emperor's personal guards. Although Lu Jingting had been in the army for many years, he had no military merits worth mentioning. It was really too high to give him a fourth-rank commander.

What does the emperor uncle want to do?

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "You are the prince of Zhennan Palace, and the commander of the Jinwu Guards. You have a place in the capital. The emperor's grace is great. You must do your best to help His Majesty solve problems."

"Men are responsible for the outside affairs and women are responsible for the inside affairs. You and Yun Xi must work together to support our Zhennan Palace!"

Lu Jingting nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yunxi's face was cold and she didn't even smile at all.

The old lady knew that Xiao Yunxi was angry, but as the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold, and it is inevitable that couples will not quarrel.

She winked at Lu Jingting and looked at Xiao Yunxi kindly, "Yunxi, Jingting will be staying in the capital to serve in the future. I heard that Grand Tutor Xiao will also be returning to the capital today. Why don't you bring Jingting back to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion to pay your respects to Grand Tutor Xiao? We are all relatives, so we should visit each other more often."

Thinking of her grandfather, father, mother, uncle, and brothers and sisters... Xiao Yunxi couldn't help but tears up in her eyes.

In his previous life, he had hurt his relatives’ hearts time and again because he insisted on protecting the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion. He also had a falling out with his family because of Lu Ze, and he never returned to the Ningguo Marquis’ Mansion until his death.

In the past two years, my mother has been working in Jiangnan with my father, my eldest sister married far away, several of my brothers are also working outside the capital, and my grandfather is on a diplomatic mission to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has been a long time since we last saw each other.

I don’t know if my grandfather’s old cold legs are getting better.

"Yun Xi?"

Xiao Yunxi came back to her senses and smiled faintly, "Forget it, the prince is busy with official duties, I can go back by myself."

Lu Jingting stared at her red eyes and remained silent.

She was homesick.

"It's okay. After all... I haven't accompanied you back home in the past two years. I can't break the etiquette."

Just as Xiao Yunxi was about to speak, she saw Nanny Li rushing in, her face full of anxiety, "Madam, Prince, Princess, just now the maidservant next to Sister Yuan came to pass on a message, saying...said that Sister Yuan beat Nanny Wei..."

"what?!"

The old lady stood up anxiously and asked quickly: "What's going on?"

"This little maid didn't explain it in detail, so I'm not very clear about it either."

Lu Jingting's face was grim. "How can this girl be so bold that she even dares to beat up the palace's foster nanny? I'll go and see for myself!"

Seeing the old lady and Lu Jingting's furious expressions, Xiao Yunxi was no longer in a hurry to return to Feiyu Pavilion. She just sat there and waited for the result leisurely.

Lin Wan'er was making snacks for the old lady in the small kitchen. When she heard the noise, she asked Liu'er to go and find out.

I heard that it was Sister Yuan who beat Madam Wei. She was so anxious that she accidentally cut her hand with a knife. She didn't care about the pain and hurriedly pulled Liu'er, "Do you know why?"

Liu Er hurriedly replied, "I don't know either, but the prince has already gone to check it out himself. Miss, don't worry, wait for more news, and treat the wound first, it's bleeding."

Lin Wan'er had no choice but to sit down and let Liu'er apply medicine and bandage her wound.
