After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Ning'er had a bizarre dream all night, but at dawn someone pushed her gently, and when she opened her eyes, she had forgotten everything.

She only felt a thin layer of cold sweat all over her body, her eyelids were heavy, as if she had not slept all night, and she was extremely tired.

Chuncao leaned over and whispered in Ning'er's ear: "Miss, you've got to wake up. The Marquis sent someone to deliver a letter early in the morning."

Hearing this, Ning Er barely perked up. She half-opened her eyes and asked, "What did the Marquis say?"

Chuncao gently opened the bed curtain, helped Ning'er get up from under the quilt, and replied:

"The messenger who sent back said that the Marquis received an urgent order from the emperor yesterday to go to Daonan as an imperial envoy. He didn't even have time to return to the Marquis's residence. His close confidant simply packed his bags and rode out early in the morning. I'm afraid he has already left the capital by now."

Ning Er was surprised and said, "Are you in such a hurry? The Marquis came to tell me a few days ago that he was taking a day off today. So he is going on a business trip now."

Chuncao said, "That's right. But the Marquis said that you should rest assured about the appointment with the young lady. It will still go on as planned. Someone will come to take you out after the beginning of the morning. He left Yan Ling to accompany you."

Ning'er nodded: "It's hard for the Marquis to take my little matter to heart. Of course, it's the official business that's important. But Daonan is probably thousands of miles away from the capital. I don't know when the Marquis will be back after this trip."

While the two were talking, Zishan came in with a basin and towel and helped Ning'er wash up.

Ning'er felt refreshed when the hot cotton towel was placed on her face. She complained, "I went to bed early last night, but it feels like I didn't sleep all night. I feel more tired than before I went to bed."

Lingzhi said, "Miss, you did not sleep well last night. I heard you tossing and turning and sighing several times while I was on guard. I thought you were awake, but I realized you were dreaming."

Ning'er specifically asked Zishan to put a simple bun on her hair, put pearls in her hairpin, and gave her some snacks. After changing her clothes, she went to pay her respects to the old lady.

Today, Old Madam Zhu looked a little listless. She didn't smile when she saw Ning'er coming over. She just asked her to sit for a while and didn't say much.

Ning Er knew that the old lady was worried about the Marquis, so she sat for another cup of tea and took her leave. Before she left, the old lady looked at her twice and asked, "Why are you so plainly dressed, little girl?"

Ning Er smiled and replied, "Yesterday, the maid in my room was tidying up the closet, which was full of colorful flowers and willows. I immediately fell in love with this extraordinary outfit. I picked it out and wore it for fun while the spring weather is beautiful."

The old lady looked at her carefully and found that the aquamarine and moon-white dress really made Ning'er look particularly beautiful. She nodded slightly and praised, "It really suits you. But it's better for a young girl to dress more lively on weekdays."

Ning Errou said yes and agreed obediently.

After leaving the main room, she went straight out of Songshou Hall. It was neither early nor late, just the first quarter of the morning. Outside the hall stood a maid who was about 25 or 26 years old. She was wearing a green silk vest with floral patterns, which was the attire of an unmarried girl.

When the maid saw her, she came forward and saluted: "Miss Ning, the Marquis has ordered this servant to take you there."

Ning'er thanked the elder sister, then turned to Chuncao and said, "Good Chuncao, stay in the house for me. If anything happens, please take care of it for me."

Chuncao said anxiously, "Why do you want to leave me again, young lady? I won't agree to it."

Ning Er smiled and coaxed her: "Chuncao, be obedient. We haven't informed the Madam or the Old Madam yet. If the two of us just leave the house without caring about anything, wouldn't it be troublesome if something happens? You are my closest maid. If you stay in the house, you will be the same as me."

"Besides, I have Brother Yan Ling to accompany me, and I have this elder sister with me, so what do you have to worry about?"

Chuncao saw that she was determined and could not be persuaded with just a few words, so she had to give in. However, she was still worried and kept on talking a lot.

Ning Er listened with a smile, and the maidservant beside her said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, we will definitely hand Miss Ning over to you in a good hand."

When Chuncao heard her say this, she felt embarrassed.

This senior maidservant was obviously very familiar with the Marquis' Mansion. As she led Ning'er to the front yard, little maids kept coming up to greet her or bowing from afar.

Ning'er couldn't help but be curious about her identity: "I wonder what your name is, sister?"

The maid smiled and said, "I am not worthy of being called sister, young lady. Just call me Xiang Ming." She took the initiative to explain to Ning'er, "Thanks to the Marquis' trust, he usually asked me to look after the study. He knew that young lady was going out today, so he asked me to pick you up."

Ning'er then realized that she was the head maid employed by the Marquis in the outer courtyard. No wonder the little maids were so respectful to her when they saw her along the way.

Xiang Ming was like a living partner, accompanying Ning Er through the doors very smoothly, until they reached the hanging flower door, and then asked her with a smile: "Miss, do you want me to accompany you when you go out of the house?"

Ning Er hesitated for a moment. Seeing her embarrassment, Xiang Ming said directly, "Then I will escort the young lady out. When the young lady returns home, I will wait for you here and accompany her back to Songshou Hall."

Yan Ling was already waiting outside the Chuihua Gate. Xiang Ming personally helped Ning'er onto the green silk carriage, and after they drove out of the corner gate, they changed into an inconspicuous light horse-drawn carriage.

Yan Ling drove the horse himself without asking anyone else to help. He tilted his head and said to Ning'er, "Miss, you look a little tired. Did you not get enough rest last night?"

When Ning Er woke up in the morning, there was a slight blue spot under her eyes. Zi Shan carefully applied powder to cover it up, but Yan Ling saw it at a glance. She smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't sleep well last night."

Yan Ling joked, "Miss, you haven't been out for a long time, so you're too excited to sleep?"

He pointed to the drawer under the couch in the carriage and said, "I guess you didn't have a proper meal this morning, so I prepared some snacks in the carriage. If you are hungry, you can have some. Let's set off now. Even if we walk fast, it will take at least an hour and a half to reach North City. If you are tired, you can lean back in the carriage and take a rest."

Ning Er saw how well prepared he was, and couldn't help but feel grateful: "Brother Yan Ling was supposed to go to Daonan with the Marquis, but he stayed and became my coachman."

Yan Ling laughed: "I don't know how hard it will be for you, my Lord, but I am willing to stay and drive the carriage for you, young lady."

As he spoke, he whipped the horse and headed towards the north of the city.

------

At this time, it was in the Jiaotong Courtyard of Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion.

A little girl, no older than a pigtail, ran in like a flash. Cai Tao was carrying something out, and when she saw her, she scolded her, "Why are you so crazy? What kind of person are you?"

Although the little girl was young, her eyes sparkled when she saw the painted pottery. She hurriedly went up to her and pulled her clothes, whispering, "Sister, what I asked you to pay attention to before has come true today!" Then she whispered everything in her ear.

In the boudoir of the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, Shen Ruyao was fiddling with her dressing table out of boredom, casually choosing today's hair accessories.

Suddenly the curtain moved, and her personal maid walked in. Her tone was a little excited and a little nervous: "Miss, guess what?"

Seeing her like this, Shen Ruyao could not help but gently toss the golden Ruyi gemstone hairpin in her hand and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Cai Tao lowered her voice and said, "Fu'er's grandfather saw it with his own eyes. Little Miss Shen didn't even bring any maids with her. She got on a carriage and left the house with Yan Ling!"
