7. Throw yourself in the arms
In the Lingyun Palace, after Xuedie and the two other palace maids had learned the etiquette for ten days, they were summoned by Concubine Ling.
"Slave, please see your Majesty." She knelt down and saluted.
Concubine Ling looked her up and down and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, empress." Xuedie stood up and stood there respectfully.
Concubine Ling took a sip of tea and then spoke again: "Tomorrow, you will go to serve the king. I hope that you can serve the king well and with all your heart. Don't do things you shouldn't do and don't say things you shouldn't say.
,Understand?"
"Yes, I understand. I will obey your empress' teachings." Xuedie naturally understood the deep meaning of her words.
"As long as you understand, why are you the one I chose? If you listen to me, I will not treat you badly." Concubine Ling looked at her.
"Yes, I obey my command." Xuedie saluted.
"Go down." Concubine Ling waved her hand and ordered.
Xuedie stepped back. She knew that Concubine Ling must have said these words to every palace maid. Concubine Ling's intention was very obvious. She warned them not to have any wrong thoughts towards the king, and also hinted that they were being used by her.
Since she can't escape, she will stick to her duties and take care of her business. She will neither care about nor ask about other matters.
When she finally came back, Xuedie walked in with a tea cup. Wang was reading the memorial and didn't seem to notice her at all.
She walked over and put the teacup away silently, then stood quietly.
As soon as she came in, Qi Ye glanced at her appearance and recognized her immediately. He suddenly put the memorial in the book aside and stared at her with a certain amount of consideration in his eyes.
Xuedie stood there motionless with her eyes and nose, nose and heart. As long as Wang didn't tell her, she would never admit it.
"The king's woman is scary, but the king's maid is not scary?" There was a trace of ridicule on his thin lips.
"Back to the king, this slave was chosen by the Ling Concubine. You cannot disobey your orders. If the king doesn't like your service, I will go back." She immediately knelt on the ground. She couldn't ask for more.
"Go back?" Qi Ye suddenly raised her chin with his hand, and the corners of his lips curved into a slight smile, "Wang always welcomes women who throw themselves into his arms."
"Your Majesty, I don't have a slave, and I don't dare to." He threw himself into his arms, but it was too late for her to escape.
"Don't dare, do you think the king doesn't know what you are thinking?" Qi Ye suddenly reached out and pulled her hard into his arms.
"King." She struggled hard to break free, but was restrained by him and remained motionless.
"If you really don't want to serve the king, there are many ways to evade it. I, the king, would like to know, aren't you afraid of ending up like Ziyi?" Not long ago, you said you didn't covet glory and wealth, but in the blink of an eye, you became the one by your side.
Palace maid, isn't it ironic?
"This slave is just an insignificant palace maid. Concubine Ling has chosen this slave, so this slave has no way to disobey her. However, this slave will never repeat the fate of Ziyi, because this slave has no thoughts about the king and does not dare to have any thoughts. She just abides by her duty.
Serve." Xuedie returned calmly.
"Really? The king really wants to know how you abide by your duty and serve. Don't you know that accompanying the king to bed is also a kind of service?" Qi Ye slid his fingers back and forth on her face.
She really doesn't look outstanding. The only thing that stands out is her eyes, which are clear and translucent without any impurities.
