Chapter 2 Cannon Fodder Palace Maiden X Young Prime Minister (2)
Lingjiu didn't know what Lingshan was thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She just wanted to have a good sleep now. She had been working all day and was really tired.
Lingjiu and Lingshan are both second-class palace maids. Although they are relatively tiring in their lives, they do not need to serve Lian Lian in close proximity. Lingjiu is quite satisfied with this.
But she soon couldn't feel relieved because it was her turn to watch tonight. Even with the original owner's memory, Lingjiu still dozed off.
"Yingjiu!"
"Lingjiu is here, I wonder what the Empress has to give?" Lingjiu stepped forward and bent slightly, bowed to her and asked, her voice was a little cold.
"No gift! Lift your head!" Concubine Lian was leaning on the bed lazily at this time. When she heard her voice, she couldn't help but look up at her.
As a concubine in the palace, Lian Fei was born in a noble family and had a good observation ability, so she naturally noticed Lingjiu's abnormality.
The original owner is a little palace maid. Although his personality is a little confused, he is still a little nervous in front of Concubine Lian. Every time he sees Concubine Lian, he will tense his nerves.
I was afraid that I would make a mistake and be rejected by Concubine Lian, so my attitude was inevitably a little restrained.
But Lingjiu is different. Lingjiu does not have the awe of the original owner for Concubine Lian. Even her respectful attitude is only superficial, not from the heart.
Secondly, Lingjiu is now acting too calm and her voice is emotional. Concubine Lian can naturally feel the difference between her and the original owner.
While this made Concubine Lian feel a little alert and a little suspicious of her.
This is not because of the suspicion of Concubine Lian. If the woman in the harem is not cautious, she will not even know if she loses her life in a daze.
The reason why she fell out of favor before was not because of His Majesty's "loving the new and getting tired of the old", it was not because she was not cautious enough, so she ended up now, and it was no wonder that others would be blamed.
"You are responsible for the night watch today?" Although Concubine Lian was suspicious of her, she looked at her calmly.
"Yes!" Ling Jiu said respectfully, with no expression on her face.
"You don't need to watch tonight. You go down and rest. If there is something, I will call you." Concubine Lian looked at her for a while, and didn't know what she thought of, and waved her hand to signal her to go down and rest.
"Yes, Empress!" Ling Jiu responded with a respectful look on her face and retreated. The speed was so fast that Concubine Lian was a little shocked.
Concubine Lian was obviously angry with her. Could this Lingjiu be so brave today?
She said she was sure that she wouldn't have to watch the night. She should be grateful to her. She wouldn't be so obvious if she could no longer help, right?
Could it be that when Lingjiu saw that she was out of favor, she didn't take her master seriously?
After a while, after Concubine Lian calmed down, she was no longer angry.
This Lingjiu is indeed different. As their master, she has some understanding of their temperament.
Although this Lingjiu was a little confused in the past, fortunately she had never made any big mistakes and had a simple personality, so she didn't care about her.
But today's Lingjiu was a little wrong, and she couldn't help but become bolder. Her temperament seemed to be more straightforward than before, and she was not concealed.
However, she did not feel any malice from Yanjiu, so she did not ask someone to interrogate her on the spot.
Of course, another most important reason is that Lian Fei does not want to ruin her reputation as a "kind" because of Ling Jiu.
Concubine Lian knew very well that she would rather offend a gentleman than offend a villain, so she was quite generous to the people around her.
I don’t ask them to thank her, at least don’t resent her, she doesn’t want to follow in the footsteps of Zhang Jieyu.
Concubine Zhang was also a concubine who had been favored for a while, but because of her arrogant temperament, she was quickly lost.
Although Zhang Jieyu was like her and was not sent to the cold palace, her palace maids and eunuchs were offended by her. She just fell out of favor and died of illness not long after.
This is the consequence of offending the "little man", so Concubine Lian pays special attention to this point. She treats the people below with generous and fairness in normal times.
So even though she has fallen out of favor, the palace maids and eunuchs under her command have not been disrespectful to her or putting in trouble.
Of course, although there was the result of her deliberately "management", Lian Fei herself was indeed not a cruel person. She would not punish the people below at any time and vent her anger on the people around her.
"Miaotong, let Lingshan come to see me!" The next day, Concubine Lian ordered Miaotong, who was her personal maid and confidant, and had been with her since childhood.
"Yes, Empress!" Although Miaotong was a little confused, she still responded respectfully and went out to call people.
When Lingshan was brought up, she was very nervous. She didn't know what Lian Fei had to ask her for? Could it be that Lingjiu's words were heard?
Lingshan then comforted herself and said, "No, if it were the "dream" that Lingjiu said that day, she would have asked her to find them."
Thinking of this, Lingshan felt a little calmer, but her head was still lowered, waiting for Concubine Lian's instructions.
"Lingshan, I asked you, what's wrong with Lingjiu recently?" Even the concubine didn't talk long and asked straight to the point.
When Ling Shan heard this, her heart skipped a beat, her face turned slightly pale, and she subconsciously clenched her small fists.
She quickly thought about how to deal with it. She neither wanted something wrong with Lingjiu, nor did she dare to lie rashly, for fear of losing her life if she accidentally did.
"What? Isn't it convenient to say?" Seeing this, Concubine Lian's face turned cold and her eyes narrowed slightly. Ling Shan's heart was under even more pressure.
"Grandmaster forgive me! I am just thinking about how to answer." I didn't dare to delay the time, so I continued to say, "Lingjiu seems to have said less in the past two days, and I am not sure about the specific situation."
"Then do you know why she suddenly did this?" Lian Fei asked again, staring at Ling Shan tightly, trying to see if she was lying.
Lian Shan and Ling Jiu have a good relationship, so she also knows that Ling Shan will hide something from her in order to protect Ling Jiu.
According to her observation just now, Lingshan really concealed something from her, but she didn't know what she had concealed.
"I don't know very well!" Ling Shan shook her head and didn't dare to tell the truth. After all, the "dream" mentioned by Ling Jiu is really a bit rebellious. If someone knows it, it will be troublesome.
"You really don't know? Hum?" Lian Fei sneered, stood up and walked to Ling Shan, and looked at her from a high place.
"I really don't know. I hope the Empress will forgive me!" Ling Shan was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Concubine Lian!
"Okay, get up! When people see it, I'm afraid I think I'm so mean." Seeing this, Concubine Lian's face turned dark. Are these two people angry at her?
