Consort Shu looked at Mu Yunge with a hint of surprise: “Xiao Jiu’er, do you recognize Zi Ling?”
Hearing this, Mu Yunge immediately looked at Yan Fei, “Zi Ling? Xiao Xi, isn’t this the little palace maid who caused my allergy?”
Yan Fei glanced coldly at Zi Ling, who had grown into a beautiful young woman, and nodded to Mu Yunge, saying, “Your Highness, it is she.”
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Mu Yunge immediately looked at Consort Shu and said, “So this little palace maid is now serving Consort Shu. I remember that the Empress sent her to the laundry department.”
Consort Shu squeezed her handkerchief. Then she smiled and said, “Zi Ling’s hands are very skillful; her embroidery is quite good, so I kept her.”
Zi Ling, meanwhile, lowered her head in resentment. She had been driven out by the Empress, and in the blink of an eye, she had become a favorite of Consort Shu. What would others think of her?
Who didn’t know that Consort Shu and the Empress had been locked in a power struggle for years?!
Was the Ninth Princess afraid people wouldn’t know that she had offended the Empress, and now she had sided with Consort Shu?!
At this moment, Consort Shu suddenly stood up and said, “Xiao Jiu’er, I’m going to sit with Mrs. Qin. This time, it’s all thanks to you; otherwise, how would I have been able to see my mother?”
Mu Yunge nodded: “Please go, Consort Shu.”
Consort Shu nodded slightly, then said to Zi Ling, “Zi Ling, let’s go.”
“Yes, Consort Shu.” Zi Ling quickly stood up and stepped forward to steadily support Consort Shu.
After Consort Shu left, Mu Yunge stood up and said calmly, “Xiao Xi, let’s go for a stroll in the garden.”
Today, she would make everyone who owed Zhou Yu taste the pain Zhou Yu had suffered!
Hearing Mu Yunge’s words, Yan Fei immediately responded and stepped forward, extending his hand.
Mu Yunge placed her hand in Yan Fei’s palm and turned to Suo Tu and Suo Er, saying, “Please make yourselves at home, Your Highnesses.”
Upon hearing this, the two princes immediately nodded, “Ninth Princess, please take care.”
After Mu Yunge left, Zhou Hao and the First Prince also greeted Suo Tu, Suo Er, and his companion before leaving the pavilion together.
Once everyone in the pavilion had left, Suo Tu couldn’t help but say to Suo Er, “Second Brother, the women of the Great Zhou royal family are all truly beautiful.”
Suo Er nodded in agreement, “Eldest Brother is right. Where in our borderlands can we find such beautiful women?”
Just then, a pretty palace maid approached them with a tray.
“Please have some fruit, Your Highnesses.” The maid placed the grapes from the tray on the table.
Hearing this, the two of them nodded quickly, but their eyes darted back and forth between each other.
The palace maid seemed quite perceptive. Noticing Suo Tu’s gaze, she not only showed no shyness but also gave him a flirtatious wink.
Having seen so many beautiful women today, Suo Tu’s body was already restless. Now, after being responded to by the palace maid, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your name?”
“Replying to Your Highness, this servant is Mei’er.” The palace maid replied softly.
Suo Tu nodded and said, “Mei’er, you come and serve me.”
As a prince from beyond the Great Wall, it wasn’t unreasonable for him to have a palace maid serve him!
Mei’er immediately nodded and poured a cup of tea for Suo Tu.
“Your Highness, do you still remember Mei’er?” The palace maid asked in a low voice after handing over the tea.
“Hmm?” Suo Tu clearly didn’t remember.
Upon hearing this, Mei’er looked heartbroken and said, “So the First Prince doesn’t remember me anymore. Have you forgotten that the first time you entered the palace for a banquet, it was Mei’er who served you the wine?”
