Volume 1: The Abandoned Wife Makes a Comeback Chapter 13: Even the Prince Can Accept It

  A man's face!

  Xue Lengyu suddenly woke up with a start, her reaction was quick, she stretched out her foot and kicked against the stone wall, shrinking into the hot spring. She grabbed the towel on her head and covered her chest.

  Xue Lengyu had seen such a test before. If a man suddenly breaks in while you are taking a bath and you only have one towel, where should you cover? The correct answer is to cover the man's eyes, but now this situation is obviously unrealistic.

  The man by the shore didn't speak, so Xue Lengyu could only shrink back to the center of the lake and stammer: "Y-you... who are you? How dare you trespass on the princess's territory?"

  Not wearing clothes is lack of confidence.

  "The queen's place?" Li Mu slowly opened his mouth: "It turns out that in this palace, there is still a place that belongs to the queen, not mine."

  He said the Wang Fu was his. Xue Leng Yu's body had shrunk into a ball, but her brain wasn't muddled. She quickly grasped this point and blurted out: "Are you Prince Mu?"

  Li Mu did not answer, but instead asked: "Who are you?"

  Xue Lengyu cursed Lan'er in her heart, but all she could say was: "This servant is from the Wangfei's residence."

  "What's in the princess's house?" Li Mu thought for a moment: "How come I've never seen you before?"

  The maids in the princess's house were numerous, but Li Mu felt that he should know them all.

  "The slave is just entering the palace today." Xue Lengyu could only say.

  Li Mu suddenly remembered: "You are Xue Lengyu?"

  "How did your lordship know my name?" Xue Lengyu was surprised, she was just a small maid in the mansion, how could his lordship possibly know her name.

  Li Mu Dao: "The Wang Fei's Mochun Garden, is it the one you renamed?"

  Even this is known? Xue Lengyu was surprised again, and hurriedly said: "That's just a casual remark from the slave, who knew that the princess liked it, so she changed it."

  "Want to chat?" Li Mu murmured, "The fragrance of April in the mortal world has vanished, I don't know when it will reappear here. Such a good phrase, can be casually spoken by a young maid like you?"

  Xue Lengyu really wanted to sigh, but the Crown Prince was acting as if he wanted to have a poetic duel with her, which was quite inappropriate at this moment.

  Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, Xue Lengyu also knew that at this time, he couldn't show any expression. The man in front of him was the highest authority in this mansion, and he had the guts to provoke him, but he couldn't afford to do so. With just one casual word from him, his little life would be forfeited.

  "The slave is a fool with a thousand thoughts, and must have gotten careless and bumped into you." Xue Lengyu said cautiously: "Your Highness, may I ask to withdraw first and let the slave get up, and then return to Your Highness's words."

  Ke Li didn't have any intention of going out to let Xue Lengyu put on clothes, and instead said coldly: "In this mansion, which thing is not mine? Do you want me to leave?"

  Is this a blow to the man's self-esteem, feeling belittled? Xue Lengyu couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sky, but her tone didn't dare to be even slightly disrespectful: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I don't dare ask Your Highness to withdraw, it's just that men and women are different, please understand my difficulties."

  Xue Lengyu spoke with her head down, but her eyes darted up cautiously. She was always watching the prince's mood changes to determine how she should respond.

  Against Xue Lengyu's expectations, after hearing her words, Li Mu's expression suddenly changed, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said indifferently: "Put on clothes? Is it inconvenient to put on clothes?"

  Xue Lengyu was taken aback and didn't understand what he meant by saying that.

  Is it inconvenient to take a bath after putting on clothes?

  Xue Lengyu didn't react for a moment and stupidly said: "This slave doesn't understand what Your Highness means."

  "I don't understand." Li Mu said, "Since you don't understand, then there's no need to understand. However, you're not bad either, your appearance is a bit similar to Wen Mo's. Go back and tell the princess that I'm busy tonight, maybe tomorrow."

  After finishing speaking, Li Mu turned around and left. The young man who followed behind him also followed out of the yard without looking back. Not a single extra word was said. Leaving Xue Lengyu alone in the water.

  Li Mu left, Xue Lengyu suddenly felt relieved, but didn't dare to stay any longer. She quickly got out of the water, put on her clothes in a hurry and rushed towards Wang Fei's house.

  All the way, Xue Lengyu was thinking about Li Mu's words. Was it that he himself had become stupid after hitting a stone when crossing over? What did his sentence mean? Listening to his tone, he should have understood it. But until now, he still didn't understand.

  Xue Lengyu hastily returned to the Wangfei's courtyard, the house was quiet and empty, so she directly entered the room that Lan'er had taken her to in the morning.

  As soon as I entered the house, I found Lan and Ju sitting on chairs, each holding a cup of tea in their hands, chatting away.

  Xue Lengyu's eyes darkened, and it turned out that Lan'er had returned early, not at all like what she said, and would still go back to find herself. What exactly was going on here that she didn't know about?

  Xue Lengyu's expression suddenly changed, and instead of scolding him as she had intended, a smile spread across her face as she said, "I'm back."

  Lan'er and Ju'er naturally saw Xue Lengyu return. As soon as she pushed the door in, their faces changed a bit.

  "Ling Yu." Chrysanthemum was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "How did you come back so soon?"

  Xue Lengyu smiled and said: "I soaked for a while, saw that Lan'er hadn't come, and also felt a bit tired. If I continued to soak, I would have fallen asleep, so I came back."

  "Didn't you see anyone?" Lan'er asked straightforwardly, unable to hold back her curiosity.

  "Oh, I see." Xue Lengyu said calmly.

  "Who did you see?" Chrysanthemum coughed, but Orchid still asked.

  "Ah, Lord Meng." Xue Lengyu said as he gazed at Lan'er's expression.

  Lan'er wasn't very surprised, but rather delighted: "You saw Prince Wang?"

  Lan's attitude made Xue Leng feel at ease: "I've seen him, I didn't expect the prince to be so young and handsome."

  Lan'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, I didn't deceive you, did I? Wang Ye is the dream lover of countless people in the palace. Leng Yu, you're really lucky."

  At this point, Xue Lengyu would have guessed five or six parts even if he was stupid. No wonder the princess was so particular about her appearance and was so generous and kind, and kept emphasizing that she was a person from her house, no matter what, she had to lean towards her.

  It's said that the wealthy and powerful are not benevolent, and indeed it is so. It turns out that the queen saw that she couldn't win back the king's heart, so she thought of finding a young and beautiful maid to send over to win him over. Anyway, in the palace, no one can be the sole favorite, rather than letting Butterfly Consort be the favored one, it's better to cultivate a loyal confidant.

  This abacus is really well-made by the princess.

  Xue Lengyu wasn't a fool, after all, she had traveled through so many things and thought for a moment before saying to Lan'er: "Lan'er, has the princess rested? I have some matters I want to discuss with Her Highness."

  Something came up tonight, so the update is a bit late.
