Chapter 281
Unsurprisingly, this peach color news in the Ling Bo Palace spread rapidly with lightning speed
-Because the status of the palace maids and chamberlains was not considered high, the crowd had no qualms about spreading rumors
The more the rumors spread, the more detailed, the more outrageous
In the end, the rumor has become that the chamberlain sleeps in the house of the palace maid every night
Think also know that this is impossible
The palace rules are strict, the chamberlain and the palace maid mostly two people live in a house
The chamberlain is a great courage, but also can not run to the house of the palace girl every day, more likely every night, stay overnight
These rumors are rumored to have a nose and eyes, every time to calm down, will be exposed to more powerful news
Soon became the laughing stock in everyone’s mouth
Wei Jieyu also greatly out of the “wind” back
Palace maids do not dare to make fun of, the palace concubines will not let go of such a good opportunity
One by one, they took turns to come to the Lingbo Hall, and after chatting a bit, they would pretend to care about a few sentences without thinking: “Sister Wei, a few days ago, I heard something new
It is said that the palace maid and chamberlain in the Lingbo Hall
Eh yo, that kind of dirty thing is not to be mentioned”
Wei Jieyu’s eyes flashed with a hint of uneasiness, and she said with a normal expression, “This little matter, how did it also reach your ears”
Wang Meiren covered her mouth and let out a delicate laugh, “It’s not those palace maids, who have nothing to do all day and love to chew their tongues
-I also overheard it, and asked a few questions at the time, I still can’t believe it
Sister Wei has always emphasized rules, how could she allow her sidekicks to cause such a scandal”Sister Wang, you’re wrong to say that
Sister Wei must have been kept in the dark, otherwise, she wouldn’t have made this such a commotion”Yes, the rumors are spreading, making Sister Wei’s face not have much luster”
Although Wei Jieyu was usually favored, she acted in a low-key and cautious manner
It’s rare to catch such a good opportunity to mock a few sentences, so of course the concubines won’t be polite
Several concubines were talking to each other, Wei Jieyu could not expel them and could only accompany them with a stiff smile
Soon, even Empress Xu heard about this
When Wei Jieyu came to ask for peace, Empress Xu intentionally or unintentionally mentioned: ”Wei Jieyu, the people around you, you also have to control some
So as not to make jokes, so that everyone looks also disturbed”
Wei Jieyu looked ashamed, “Your Highness is right
It’s all because of my concubine’s lax discipline, making jokes and letting the empress follow the trouble”
Empress Xu tugged at the corner of her lips with a smile, “There is nothing for this palace to be bothered about, however, in the future, you-” Wei Jieyu answered coyly
After asking for peace, Wei Jieyu got up and left the Pepper Room Hall
Thinking of the flurry of disturbances in the past few days, Wei Jieyu couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile
This rumor, it really is harmful!
These past few days, everywhere she went, she was the center of attention
This taste, don’t even mention it!Auntie Jieyu!”
A familiar voice sounded not far away
Wei Jieyu came back to her senses and looked over with a fixed gaze
When she saw the face of the visitor, the corners of her lips instantly raised, “Ah Shu, why are you here”
Ling Jingshu had also been in the palace for a few months
Wei Jieyu came in and out of the Pepper Room Palace from time to time, and she and Ling Jingshu met from time to time
Ling Jingshu walked forward, made a bow, and smiled, “The slave girl is here today specifically to wait for the Empress”
Wei Jieyu didn’t move and let out an oh, “You purposely waited for me, is there something important?”There is nothing important”
Ling Jingshu smiled and said, “Since the slave girl entered the palace, she has never paid a visit to the empress
I wonder if Your Highness has any free time in the afternoon?”
Wei Jieyu laughed, “There’s no harm in you coming to the Ling Bo Hall at any time”
Ling Jingshu busily thanked her
After Wei Jieyu returned to Lingbo Hall, she couldn’t help but secretly ponder
Why did Ling Jingshu suddenly come to her?
Could it be that she had already sensed something?
No, it couldn’t be!
This matter was so secretive, there was no way she could have known about it
After noon
Wei Jieyu took a short nap and got up to freshen up a bit
Xin Yun smiled and came in to report, ”Auntie Jieyu, Lady Ling has come to ask for an audience
Should the slave girl lead her over to the side hall?”There’s no need to be so troublesome, directly lead her to the bedchamber”
Wei Jieyu said without thinking
Xin Yun responded and quickly led Ling Jingshu in
Ling Jingshu was still wearing a light green palace dress, with a plain face, smiling and saluting
Wei Jieyu smiled and waved her hand: ”Alright, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to pay attention to these formalities
Come and sit and talk!
Don’t talk like a slave, just like before”
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, not being coy, she smiled and answered, “Then I’ll save the more today”
Saying this, she walked over to Wei Jieyu’s side and sat down
Wei Jieyu affectionately asked, “You have been working in the Pepper Palace these days, you have not encountered any people who have made things difficult for you!”There’s no overtly making things difficult, but there’s always tripping in the dark”
Ling Jingshu didn’t hide it and told the truth: “However, I can still cope with it, Your Highness doesn’t have to worry about me”
Wei Jieyu laughed, “You’ve always been smart and clever, so you’ll have no problem dealing with a few female officials
If you encounter anything you can’t solve, there’s no harm in coming to me in private”Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words”
Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully and changed her words, “In fact, I came here today specifically to say thank you”
Wei Jieyu’s heart stirred, “For good reason, why do you suddenly want to thank me”
Ling Jingshu looked deeply at Wei Jiyu: “If it wasn’t for the fact that Your Highness deliberately arranged this to attract everyone’s attention, I’m afraid that rumors about His Highness the Taisun and I would still be circulating in the palace right now”
Wei Jieyu: ” “Wei Jieyu looked at Ling Jingshu with a stunned expression and blurted out, “How did you know?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it
By saying that, she was undoubtedly admitting it
Sure enough, Ling Jingshu sighed softly, “I was originally guessing and didn’t dare to be sure
However, now it is certain”
Saying this, she stood up and made a bow in an upright manner, “Your Highness has lost face and suffered for my sake
This favor, I, Ling Jingshu, will never forget”
Wei Jieyu was dumbfounded for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, “That’s all, since you guessed it, I won’t hide it from you
This matter, indeed, was secretly arranged by me”
After thinking about it, she smiled and said, “In fact, the real ‘mastermind’ is not me
When I heard the rumors, although I was worried about you, I didn’t think to help you with such a method
It was only when someone came and begged me that I nodded my head and agreed”
Ling Jingshu: ” “Wei Jieyu gave Ling Jingshu a glance with ulterior motives, “Who this person is, I just won’t say it, you should have guessed it!”
