There was a tight silence in the study. Qi Zhen pinched his eyebrows and sighed softly. After a while, he said: "I remember that my mother sent a nanny to the Xueyuan, right? From today onwards, let Linglong learn the etiquette and rules of the palace from her nanny, tell me She will always have a crown princess enter the East Palace in the future, and we cannot tolerate her jealous temperament."

After hearing this, the steward felt a chill in his heart and thought that he was really unlucky today. Whoever did what His Highness ordered would offend Miss Shen.

Now His Highness is saying that Miss Shen is jealous, but in the final analysis, this jealous temper is the result of Your Highness's pampering. Among all the men in the world, there are only a few men of some status who have countless wives and concubines, especially the royal children in the capital. , there are very few who don’t have countless wives and concubines, and have several beautiful wives, or who don’t visit flower houses.

Because His Highness has a cold temperament, Miss Shen has been the only one living in the house for many years. Miss Shen has been the only favorite in Nanyuan for three years. If she leaves the East Palace now, she will be favored by others, no matter who. Not willing to give in.

According to the steward's opinion, Mei'er is a royal concubine, so if she is beaten, she will be beaten. The master will definitely not feel sorry for her at all, otherwise he would not send her back to the palace.

I am asking Miss Shen to learn the rules now because I am afraid that Miss Shen will become domineering after this incident. When the Crown Princess comes in, she will wantonly compete for favor in the East Palace and break the rules.

After all, the princess that His Highness likes is not Miss Shen.

Although the manager knew that this was definitely not a good job, he could only obey his master's instructions without disobedience, and he did not dare to say anything.

The steward resigned from the study and went to the snowy courtyard.

When he stepped into the snow courtyard, Linglong and three maids were in the inner room.

Aunt Qingzhu had just disciplined the servants in the courtyard and was about to go into the inner room.

Linglong left the house this morning, which made Qi Zhen angry. After he left the snowy courtyard, grandma went to the courtyard to punish the slaves in the snowyyuan who had loose rules and did not treat their master well.

In this nanny's view, Linglong's temperament cannot be suppressed by a slave. When she was in Nanyuan, it was fine with only two personal maids, Luoxia and Qiu Shui, but once she arrived at the East Palace, it was different.

In this palace, if the master cannot suppress his slaves, he may be eaten alive if he loses his favor one day. Even if he is favored and cannot suppress his slaves, it is very easy to cause big trouble.

Although Aunt Qingzhu was sent from the Queen's palace, the Queen's intention was already clear when she was beaten and left the palace.

Now that she is at Linglong's side, she will be Linglong's grandma in charge in the future. From now on, she will surely experience both prosperity and loss, so naturally she hopes that Linglong will be well.

Mammy thought that if the prince ascended the throne in the future, Linglong would still be the head of the first palace no matter how bad she was. If Linglong was still favored by then, then the mama in charge of the concubine would naturally be decent.

With such hope, she naturally bothered to plan for Linglong

The eunuch in charge stepped into the snowy courtyard and happened to see grandma stepping into the threshold.

He hurriedly shouted: "Mommy, stay!"

Upon hearing the sound, Mammy looked back and saw that it was the eunuch in charge of the East Palace. She smiled and said, "What gust of wind brought you here, but what business does Your Highness have with Miss Shen?" She then stepped into the threshold with her other foot.

The steward originally thought that if he met Aunt Qingzhu outside, he would just inform her of His Highness's instructions, and she would tell Shen Linglong, so that he would not offend Miss Shen.

But when he saw the nanny stepping into the inner room and making a show of welcoming him in, the steward knew that his plan had failed and he had no choice but to follow her.

After he stepped into the inner room, the first person to speak was Luo Xia.

Luoxia walked out from behind the screen in the inner room and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, steward, you have to go. I wonder if your highness has anything to say?"

The steward secretly glanced at the screen and could vaguely see Shen Linglong's figure falling on the screen.

With a smile on his face, he replied: "It's not really an important matter, but His Highness thought that Miss Shen might have never learned the palace rules at home, so he ordered the girl to learn the rules from Aunt Qingzhu from now on. "At this point, Luoxia's expression had changed slightly, and she faintly noticed that something was wrong with what the steward said.

Qiu Shui, who was beside Linglong behind the screen, also walked out at this time.

"My young lady has learned the rules of the palace at home."

The steward was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this maid was so reckless, but he smiled and said: "It's good to have learned it before. If you learn it again now, you can save some effort. Your Highness also told the old slave to let Miss Shen learn from Aunt Qingzhu. "Girls' Commandments". The East Palace is no different than a girl at home, the rules are very strict."

After saying this, he paused and thought of what Qi Zhen had told him to tell Linglong. He thought that this job was really offending, but he still followed Qi Zhen's words and said, "His Royal Highness said that there will always be a crown prince entering the East Palace in the future. This girl is I’m afraid the jealous temperament will make it difficult for the Crown Princess to get along with her.”

As soon as these words came out, the sound of porcelain falling to the ground suddenly sounded from behind the screen.

Linglong stared blankly at Zha Zhai who had dropped his hands, then stood up and walked out.

"What did the steward just say? I didn't hear it clearly. Could you please say it again, steward?" She walked out from behind the screen, went to the steward, and asked softly.

Although the voice was soft, it was trembling.

Luoxia looked on with distress in her eyes.

If you didn't listen to the truth, how could the tea cup just fall to the ground by mistake?

He obviously heard it sincerely and refused to believe it, so he insisted on asking again.

The steward has never met a woman from the harem like Shen Linglong. The women next to her often have a delicate heart and can understand everything at once, but this Shen Linglong seems to be confused about the meaning behind her words.

In fact, how could I not understand? I just didn’t want to believe it, so I had the chance to ask again.

The steward thought that the temperaments of the two girls of the Shen family were really different. The Shen family's concubine's deep and discreet temperament seemed like she was born to belong to the deep palace, but the Shen family's concubine's temperament was really not suitable for raising. At the palace gate palace.

In the palace, I was used to seeing the kind-hearted eunuchs in charge, and it was rare that I felt some pity. I wanted to give the girl in front of me some encouragement, and I sighed in my heart.

He said: "Your Highness is a person who attaches great importance to rules. Yesterday, the girl allowed the maid to slap the person given by the imperial concubine. Although the maid was at fault first, the girl's behavior will inevitably make the girl feel jealous. His Highness's temperament, the girl should be I understand. Besides, there will always be a Crown Princess entering the East Palace in the future. If you go beyond the rules and teach the servants of the East Palace, in the final analysis, you are not justified. Your Highness is also thinking about you. I am afraid that the Crown Princess will enter the house in the future and there will be no room for girls. This is why Let the girl learn the rules and control her temper in advance."

The eunuch in charge thought he was doing Linglong's good, so he gave her a few words of kindness.

Little did he know that his words and every word were like sharp knives piercing Linglong's heart.

The name is unfair and the words are inappropriate.

Linglong's face turned pale.

Luoxia panicked when she saw it, and was about to open her mouth to smooth things over when she saw Linglong holding on to the wooden edge of the screen and replying with a forced smile: "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. Linglong understands."

The eunuch in charge was also a little surprised. He thought that Miss Shen might not be able to bear His Highness's words and might even cry.

But he didn't expect that the Shen girl would actually respond with a smile today.

Although he was surprised, he couldn't say much. He just said that he had something to do and had to leave first.

"Mommy, please go and see this father-in-law off." Linglong still smiled, and said Aunt Qingzhu at the same side.

This mama was as surprised as the eunuch in charge. Although she had only been around Linglong for a short time, she could still see that this concubine of the Shen family only had His Highness in her eyes and heart.

His Highness said such hurtful words, and Mammy thought that due to Linglong's temperament, she might become cold-hearted, or even shed some tears, but she didn't expect that she could actually say these words with a smile. .

Mammy couldn't see it, but Luoxia and Qiu Shui could clearly see that their lady was not smiling. She was obviously crying, but she didn't dare to shed tears.

The steward and the nanny left the inner room and walked outside the courtyard.

Qiu Shui looked at Linglong's eyes that were flushed but she was holding on to a smile, and felt very distressed and said, "Young lady, just cry if you want to."

Linglong shook her head, still holding tears in her eyes, and said in a very soft and weak voice: "How dare I cry? If I don't cry or make trouble, he will already think that I am of low origin, unruly and jealous. If I cry, So what should we do?”

After Linglong finished speaking, she felt as if all her strength had suddenly been released, and her body slid down the screen.

"Miss, be careful." Luoxia and Qiu Shui said in unison.

They all thought that Linglong was going to fall to the ground, and they both hurriedly raised their hands to help Linglong.

Unexpectedly, Linglong grabbed the wooden edge of the screen and stood up.

"Did he never regard me as his wife?" Linglong murmured.

These words fell in the ears of Qiu Shui and Luo Xia. Qiu Shui felt angry and was about to scold Qi Zhen for being heartless, but Luo Xia pinched her and signaled her to shut up.

Luoxia looked at Linglong's pale face and said warmly: "How could it be possible? His Highness always loves girls. I think it's because the palace maid named Mei'er was given by the imperial concubine, and His Majesty himself said that he wanted to take her as a concubine. That's why His Highness behaves like this. Besides, it's just to learn the rules. The girl is so good at following the nanny to learn it, and it will be useful when she enters the palace with His Highness in the future."

Linglong lowered her eyes and said nothing. Looking at her expression, Luoxia knew that she had not listened.

He could only continue to persuade: "What the eunuch in charge just said makes sense. Your Highness is the prince, and he will also be the Supreme One in the future. There will definitely be more women around the prince in the future. Miss, if you are really jealous, If you deliberately make yourself feel wronged, the days to come will only be more difficult. Besides, His Highness's temperament is definitely not to like jealous women."

Luoxia also wanted to use the words of the eunuch in charge just now to remind Linglong to look away and not be locked in by the affection in her heart and eyes.

Linglong loosened her hand that was holding the wooden edge of the screen, looked down at the palms that had several red marks from tightly clenching the wooden edge, and said in a low voice: "Yes, he doesn't like jealous women."

After saying this, he wiped away the tears in his eyes and said: "That's all, it's good to learn the rules. Go and ask grandma to come over."

Luoxia breathed a sigh of relief, said hello, and hurriedly went to invite Aunt Qingzhu.

She thought her master had overheard her words and heard her words, but she didn't know that Linglong had heard her words word for word in her heart, but she had never really thought about it.

If Luo Xia had paid more attention just now, he would probably have noticed that the eyes that were always as bright as the moon in his memory, always smiling brightly, became dim for the first time at that moment.

It’s just that Linglong herself hasn’t really noticed it yet.
