"What's your name? How old are you this year?" Zhuo Ye looked at the cute and smart little girl in front of him and asked.
"Miss, my name is Qiao Ling, and I am fourteen years old this year." The little girl smiled sweetly at Zhuo Ye, her big eyes sparkling with curiosity that could not be concealed.
She can't blame her for being curious. Prince Rui, who has not been with women for many years, actually brought a woman back! This news has shocked the entire Prince Rui's palace! How could she not be curious about this new owner...
"Qiao Ling? Ha, he really lives up to his name." Zhuo Ye chuckled.
Fourteen years old... If it were in modern times, she would be a carefree middle school student! She could also act coquettishly in her parents' arms and make her temper... What an evil old society! She suddenly felt guilty for employing child labor.
, Zhuo Ye thought depressedly: If I had known better, I would have chosen someone older...
Qiao Ling's eyes slightly curved, and she said with a generous smile: "Thank you, Miss, for the compliment." After a pause, she said thoughtfully: "Miss, you have been traveling all day, so you must be a little tired, right? Please prepare some hot water for a bath first.
I want to relieve my fatigue?"
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhuo Ye nodded.
"It's not troublesome, it's the right thing for a slave to serve a young lady."
Zhuo Ye was a little uncomfortable with her title of lady and slave, so he hurriedly said: "I'm not a lady, and you don't have to call yourself a slave. I'm not used to it."
Qiao Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Qiao Ling, go prepare water for the girl." Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhuo Ye's words, she was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhuo Ye saw that she was just stunned for a moment and immediately changed her title. He couldn't help but sigh to himself: This girl is really not an ordinary smart girl...
Seeing Zhuo Ye nodding, Qiao Ling hurriedly turned around and left.
After Qiao Ling prepared the things for bathing, Zhuo Ye still used the excuse of being ticklish to send Qiao Ling out who was about to help her take off her clothes.
Qiao Ling didn't force herself, and said considerately: "Qiao Ling, go and help the girl prepare some desserts. It's still early for dinner. The girl may feel empty after taking a bath, so she might as well fill her stomach with some food first."
"That's fine." Zhuo Ye nodded, and then added: "Just leave the tea in the small hall when you come back. I didn't call you, so you don't have to come in."
"Qiao Ling knows." Qiao Ling said with a smile. After that, he turned and left.
Zhuo Ye took off her clothes and got into the tub, leaning against the wall in a daze. She couldn't figure out why Feng Linche insisted on her coming to Prince Rui's Mansion. Was he afraid that she would hurt Feng Linge by staying in Prince Jin's Mansion? But, don't
To say that she doesn't have that heart means that even if she really has some intentions, she doesn't have the ability, right? She believes that Prince Jin's Mansion, which has few guards and servants on the surface, must be hiding a lot of masters secretly. She doesn't even know how to do martial arts.
, what is he worried about?
Or is he afraid that she will find an opportunity to do something secretly? But obviously... these days, he doesn't seem to be wary of her, and during those days in Zhanzhou, Feng Linge was looking for her all day long...
And his attitude towards her was also inexplicably tight. Although he trapped her and made her suffer a lot, but thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to really feel sorry for her. Although he said that she was his wife
She was a servant, but she was treated like a wealthy lady. Where did he come from when he fell to the ground singing?
Suddenly, a "creak" sound brought Zhuo Ye back from his thoughts. It seemed that someone opened the door? Could it be that Qiao Ling was back? But didn't he tell her not to come in without calling her?
