"Nonsense!" Mammy scolded sternly: "Your mother has passed away, but you are the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's house. How could I not send someone to inform you?"
"Then what should I do now?" Leng Shuang said eagerly.
"Leave this matter to me." Grandma smiled and said, "I'll help you prepare a gift. You wait here for me first."
After saying that, grandma twisted her waist and left.
Leng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief after watching her grandma leave. She stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The maid looked at Leng Shuang's pale face and asked with concern: "Miss, would you like a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Leng Shuang shook her head, glanced around, and when she saw nothing unusual, she whispered: "It's okay, let's go."
She always felt that she seemed to have missed something, but she couldn't catch it, so now she was eager to find evidence.
"Miss……"
Leng Shuang raised her head, her eyes full of coldness: "Shut up, I told you, I am Leng Shuang, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhen Guo. You are not allowed to call me miss."
The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over: "I know this, miss. Please forgive me."
Leng Shuang frowned and turned to leave.
She had just taken a few steps when she saw Gu Tingyu looking at her not far away.
Her eyes averted for a moment, she lowered her head and saluted Gu Tingyu: "I have met the prince."
"Leng Shuang." Gu Tingyu called lightly, his eyes falling on Leng Shuang, "You haven't recovered yet, why did you get to the Royal Garden?"
"Your Majesty, I have recovered. Today is my father's birthday. I come to visit my sister."
Leng Shuang lowered his head, hiding the hatred in his eyes.
Gu Tingyu said lightly "Oh", then walked around Leng Shuang and walked towards the pavilion.
Leng Shuang stood there, watching Gu Tingyu's figure getting further and further away, and finally disappeared.
"Miss, let's go quickly, we will be grounded if we stay too late." The maid reminded Leng Shuang in a low voice, hoping that she would wake up and stop thinking about those unrealistic dreams and leave quickly.
"No, I just want to see what's different here."
"Miss, you'd better go back first. If the master asks, we won't be able to withstand his thunderous fire."
"No, I just want to come and see," Leng Shuang's voice suddenly became sharp, "I want to see what kind of magic this woman has used to seduce the prince."
"Miss!"
"Let's go in." Leng Shuang said through gritted teeth.
She must pry that vixen out of the prince's heart.
The two of them walked towards the pavilion one after another, but as soon as they reached the door of the pavilion, Leng Shuang's body suddenly froze. Her hands were held tightly, and her nails were embedded in her flesh, but she felt no pain at all.
.
Her eyes widened and she stared at Leng Xue sitting on the chair.
"Miss, are you okay?" Maid Xiaomei supported Leng Shuang and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I was just blown by the wind, it's not a problem." Leng Shuang tried her best to control herself and not reveal any flaws, but her hands still couldn't stop shaking and tears couldn't help flowing down.
"Princess," the maid Xiaomei saw Leng Shuang crying and was a little panicked. She didn't understand why the young lady cried suddenly.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just remembered the past and felt uncomfortable for a while." Leng Shuang sighed softly, wiped away her tears, turned to the maid and said, "Let's go."
"Miss, the prince is still waiting for you inside." Xiaomei advised.
"Since he is inside, please leave me alone and leave me alone." Leng Shuang waved her hand and walked in.
Xiaomei looked at Leng Shuang's back and hesitated to speak.
In the pavilion, Leng Xue was lazily leaning on the soft couch, holding a book in his hand, reading with gusto.
She glanced at Leng Shuang, then looked at Gu Tingyu: "Your Majesty, are you not going to attend our banquet this time?"
"My king is in poor health and should not be tired."
Leng Xue raised her eyebrows, put down the book in her hand, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip: "I see, in this case, I will go to congratulate the emperor on behalf of Prince Rui's Palace."
After hearing this, Leng Shuang cursed secretly in her heart, "You are a shameless person and you are just pretending."
Leng Xue stood up and bowed to Gu Tingyu: "Your Majesty, I leave you."
Gu Tingyu raised his hand and responded lightly. After Leng Xue left, he turned and walked towards the pavilion by the lake. He wanted to sit there and take a look at what was different here.
As soon as Gu Tingyu came closer, Leng Shuang noticed that his expression was a little strange, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Tingyu ignored her and walked straight forward, then stood at the railing of the pavilion, overlooking the entire capital.
"Leng Shuang," Gu Tingyu's eyes fell on Leng Shuang, and he said in a calm tone: "Do you think this palace is beautiful?"
"The imperial palace is the symbol of the Nine-Five Supreme Being, so it is naturally extremely beautiful." Leng Shuang said softly.
Gu Tingyu nodded: "Well, you are right, this is indeed a good place. If you are free someday, I will take you to visit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Leng Shuang was extremely happy. She didn't expect that His Majesty would actually take her on a trip. This was simply her honor.
Leng Shuang was secretly happy. She followed Gu Tingyu along the way and saw many beautiful scenery, and these scenery were not something ordinary people could see. She really envied Leng Xue. She could actually have so many beautiful scenery. If
Like Leng Xue, she also married the fourth prince. I'm afraid these beautiful scenes have long been hers.
Thinking of this, she immediately shook her head. No, she must not think like this. She is already the concubine of Prince Rui's Mansion. No matter what, she cannot do anything that exceeds the rules. She is not just the concubine of Prince Rui's Mansion.
, but Princess Rui, she is the wife of the prince.
Leng Shuang took a deep breath to stabilize her mind, then raised her feet and followed Gu Tingyu, walking into the pavilion step by step. But at this moment, Leng Xue's voice rang: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Leng Shuang stopped and looked in Leng Xue's direction, and was stunned at the sight.
I saw Leng Xue standing outside the pavilion, luxuriously dressed and with a pretty appearance.
Her mind exploded instantly, and Leng Shuang suddenly remembered that Leng Xue once said that if she could become a princess, he would give her all the scenery here.
Her face turned pale and her body shook involuntarily.
"Your Majesty," Leng Shuang suppressed the fear in her heart, slowly knelt down in front of Gu Tingyu, and said respectfully, "Princess, my servants should not disturb your pleasure."
Leng Xue smiled and said: "I am also bored with my free time. I happened to meet the prince, so I came over to chat with him."
Her voice was gentle, but with a hint of arrogance, as if she were a condescending princess.
She walked slowly to Leng Shuang's side, bent slightly, leaned into Leng Shuang's ear, and lowered her voice and said: "Actually, the scenery here is quite good, and it's more suitable for talking. What do you think, sister?
"
"Sister," Leng Shuang's voice was mixed with a hint of sobriety, "I just miss my parents, so I come here to worship, but..."
"It's a pity that your parents are gone," Leng Xue said quietly, "This place was your mother's favorite place when she was alive, so I brought you here."
Leng Shuang raised her head, with crystal tears hanging from the corners of her eyes: "Princess, I know you have always treated me well, but I am not worthy of stepping into this place. Please, I miss my parents."
"Haha," Leng Xue smiled sarcastically. She reached out and patted Leng Shuang's shoulder, comforting, "Don't be sad. Although this place is your mother's favorite place, I believe your parents are well-informed and hope that
You're doing well."
Hearing this, Leng Shuang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Thank you, Princess, Princess. You have put so much effort into taking care of me these years. I..."
She raised her head and was about to express her true feelings to Leng Xue, but she found that Leng Xue had already sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and eating snacks. She was extremely jealous in her heart, but she still had a look of gratitude on her face and said:
"Princess, I really don't know how to repay you."
"No," Leng Shuang shook her head, "We are all a family, there is no need to be polite."
"Princess," Gu Tingyu stood outside the pavilion and said after a long silence, "Princess is so kind-hearted. I don't know how to thank you. Please take me in."
"You are a smart boy, I will remember everything you said to me." Leng Shuang smiled, "If you are sincerely good to me, I will definitely live up to you."
"Princess," Gu Tingyu walked into the pavilion, took Leng Xue's hand, and said seriously, "I will not let you down."
"Really?" Leng Xue seemed a little surprised and looked at Gu Tingyu in disbelief.
Gu Tingyu nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Leng Xue, and said, "This is the letter my mother and concubine asked me to give to you. Burn it after you read it."
"Okay, I understand."
"Well, that's good. You go back first. I'll blow some air here." After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he left. Leng Xue stared at the letter in her hand, her lips curling up with a cold arc.
"My lord, are you really not considering having a concubine?" Leng Shuang followed Gu Tingyu and asked tentatively.
"Do you think I will accept a concubine?"
"No." Leng Shuang said decisively.
Gu Tingyu smiled: "That's right."
"I was just scaring you," Gu Tingyu continued, "If you still call me by my name in the future, maybe I will change my mind. After all, I have an agreement with the princess."
"Okay," Leng Shuang nodded, "I understand."
"Well, you go down first," Gu Tingyu nodded, and then said, "I'll take a rest in the imperial garden."
"Then I'll go first," Leng Shuang blessed herself, then turned and left.
"Your Majesty," just as Leng Shuang left, the guard at the side couldn't help but remind him, "This girl is..."
Gu Tingyu frowned: "The control is too lenient. Do I still need to report my private affairs to you?"
The guard was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this is not what I mean. I am just worried that your Majesty will be deceived by that girl."
After Gu Tingyu heard these words, he turned back sharply and glared at the guard with evil eyes. The guard trembled all over and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times: "Your Majesty, calm down your anger! Your Majesty, calm down your anger!"
Gu Tingyu's eyes narrowed, then he snorted coldly and strode away.
The guard waited until Gu Tingyu walked away, then he breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and complained to Gu Tingyu's back: "What the hell, isn't it just a concubine? What's there?
Remarkable!”
After Gu Tingyu returned to the room, he saw Leng Yue sitting at the table. She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Tingyu and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a little sleepy. I'll take a nap first. If you want to leave, please leave quickly."
"Yeah." Gu Tingyu hummed indifferently, turned around and left.
As soon as Gu Tingyu left, Leng Yue immediately changed her face. She walked to the door and looked at the man in the yard through the window. She secretly resented that the position that should have belonged to her was now occupied by Leng Xue. What a shame.
Damn it.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her eyes red.
"Leng Shuang," Leng Yue suddenly called Leng Shuang, "do you know what to do?"
Leng Shuang immediately understood what Leng Xue meant. She nodded and said, "I understand." This chapter has been completed!
