As soon as he heard this voice, Zijin recognized her immediately. She was not the fifth prince's concubine now - who was Zhong Ling?
When Zhong Ling called her, Zi Jin quickly lowered his head and wiped away his tears.
In the attic, Zhong Ling had already stepped on the stairs and ran down the stairs with a creak and a creak.
Zi Jin turned around and just wanted to hug him with a smile like before.
But in a blink of an eye, he looked at the fifth prince Yu Xin with his eyebrows slightly furrowed in the attic.
Zi Jin was stunned, and he bowed his head respectfully and said: "My slave, Zi Jin, has met the fifth prince and the fifth prince's concubine."
Zhong Ling hurriedly supported Zijin and said angrily: "Sisters, why are you and me doing this false courtesy? It seems that we sisters are inseparable!"
Zi Jin smiled, and just as he was about to answer, the fifth prince Yu Xin slowly came down from the attic.
Standing next to Zhong Ling opposite Zijin with his hands behind his hands, he said seriously:
"You can't say that. You were sisters before. It didn't matter whether you talked, laughed, or saluted.
But now you are the master and she is the servant. How can a servant not be polite and greet his master when he sees him?
You still have to abide by the rules in the palace!"
Zijin was slightly startled and glanced at the fifth prince secretly.
She knew that the fifth prince didn't like her from the beginning, so she replied more carefully:
"What the fifth prince said is that rules are rules, and rules cannot be omitted or abolished.
You still have to do it when you need to salute, and you still have to ask when you need to say hello."
The fifth prince raised his lips slightly, revealing a strange smile.
Zhong Ling, however, looked disapproving. He waved his hand towards the fifth prince and said:
"No matter what the rules are or not, I told her not to let Zijin bow to me in vain, so she doesn't have to bow to me!
Even if it’s the palace rules, I don’t care!”
The fifth prince smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Okay, okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, that's fine!"
"That's not bad!" Zhong Ling turned around with a smile and took Zi Jin's hand.
Zi Jin pursed his lips and chuckled, feeling deeply happy that Zhong Ling could meet someone who cared for her, loved her, and cherished her as much as the fifth prince.
