Today I went to the fourth prince's house to pay New Year's greetings. Jing Yu took it very seriously, so he packed it carefully.

The dull color of the past has faded away, replaced by a bright red color. It loses the usual coldness and has more youthful vigor, which makes the already handsome face look even more attractive.

Even Ah Zhi rarely said a few nice words about Jing Yu.

"At this time, I think your situation is pretty good. Those toad-like men outside are really catching a lot of them. If you serve them, that will be the most extreme tragedy."

Qian Xue thought of Jing Yu's plan at that time and asked her to serve her eldest uncle.

That man was just as disgusting as a toad. She couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it.

She couldn't help but look at Ah Zhi and smile, without revealing the little secret joy in her heart.

At almost noon, Jing Yu took Qian Xue to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The two of them went to visit the fourth prince together. The fourth prince accepted the ceremony lightly and dismissed Qian Xue with just one word.

"The fourth prince's concubine needs someone to talk to right now, so please go and accompany her."

De Hai, the chambermaid who had been standing beside the fourth prince, immediately walked to Qian Xue and said with a smile that he would take her there.

Qianxue did not dare to look up at the fourth prince, but thanked Dehai in a low voice, then followed Dehai out with her head lowered.

It wasn't until the door was closed that the fourth prince showed a joking smile.

"I can't understand you more and more. If you say you care about her, you still haven't given her a title. If you say you don't care, you really have to take her with you wherever you go."

Jing Yu didn't wait for the fourth prince to offer him a seat, so he naturally found a seat and sat down.

"Your Highness is not an outsider, and I will not say false words."

The fourth prince frowned slightly and looked at Jing Yu with interest.

"Of course the maid can take her wherever she goes. If she is given the title of concubine, it will be embarrassing to take her out to meet people on many occasions."

Jing Yu spoke directly, without even a redundant modifier.

On the contrary, the fourth prince couldn't help but shake his head because of his confident appearance, "What you said is really unpleasant."

Jing Yu was unmoved. He was just telling the truth to someone he trusted. Moreover, the fourth prince only thought what he said was unpleasant and did not say that what he said was wrong.

Jing Yu did not answer the fourth prince's words, but instead turned to look outside, "When will Wen Boyuan come?"

The fourth prince glanced at him lightly and followed his words and said: "It should be here soon. His family is thinking about letting him go back to recognize his ancestors these days. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him."

Dehai was leading Qianxue to the residence of the fourth princess. He smiled kindly along the way and talked to Qianxue about some things to pay attention to in a gentle tone, without any hint of arrogance or contempt.

However, Qianxue was not comforted by his friendly attitude. She knew that this chamberlain named Dehai was a personal servant of the fourth prince. Now that he came to guide her, he would really lose his face.

She felt nervous and her body couldn't help but become a little stiff.

Dehai seemed to have discovered something and said with a smile: "Miss Qianxue, please don't be nervous. After all, the princess is still the senior sister of Mr. Xiaojing."

Qianxue nodded blankly, "Thank you, sir, for your advice."

"In previous years, Mr. Xiaojing would celebrate the New Year with our Highness, but this year the Crown Princess is pregnant, so we can't have fun together."

Qianxue listened quietly, and Dehai continued to smile to calm her emotions. "Master Xiaojing is not married yet, but it would be good for the girl to chat with the princess and relieve her boredom."

Listening to Dehai's words, Qianxue felt a surge of surprise in her heart. With her status as a princess, if she wanted to find someone to chat with to relieve her boredom, so many other ladies would break their heads and try to squeeze in. Why was it her turn? Is it on such a maid?

However, Dehai's expression and words were sincere and kind, and it really didn't look like he was teasing her.

Qianxue couldn't help but feel a little fond of the fourth prince. Such a noble person did not dislike her as a humble slave.

The two walked through the entire verandah and soon saw a courtyard gate.

When the people on duty outside saw that the person coming was Dehai, they immediately ran in to report.

After a while, a maid with a gentle smile and a decent manner came out and walked to the two of them.

Dehai told the maid a few words, then turned and left.

"This is Zicuckoo, the maid who serves the prince and concubine. She will take you to see the prince and concubine next."

Dehai turned around and told Qianxue, then turned and left.

"This must be Miss Qian Xue. The imperial concubine is taking a nap. Please follow me to the side hall to sit for a while and eat some fruit snacks. When the imperial concubine wakes up, I will lead the girl there."

Like Dehai, Zijuan is very easy-going and has no faults in dealing with others.

"Thank you, Miss Zicuckoo." Qian Xue thanked her hurriedly. How dare she disturb the imperial concubine's lunch break.

Qianxue sat in the side hall for less than two-quarters of an hour, carefully eating only a small piece of pastry, when Zijuan came to call her.

As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw a graceful and dignified woman. Qianxue was intimidated by her strong aura. She lowered her head in a hurry, not daring to take another look. She stood still in the hall and gave a flowing salute. , Don’t dare to be lazy even a little bit.

A somewhat lazy female voice sounded leisurely, unlike the gentleness of a lady in the imperial capital. The slightly lower tone exuded an irresistible majesty.

"Are you brought by Ayu to chat with me today?"

Qianxue hurriedly replied: "My servant Qianxue, today I am coming with my young master to pay New Year's greetings to the fourth prince."

The fourth princess seemed to nodded, and then looked at Zijuan, "It's true that Ayu didn't inform me in advance even if he wanted to bring someone here, so I didn't even prepare a meeting gift."

"I'm scared. I'm lucky enough to be able to see the prince and concubine. How can I dare to accept your gift?" Qianxue was so nervous that she almost kowtowed.

"Zicuckoo, go get a big red seal and bring it over." After the fourth prince ordered Zicuckoo, he looked at Qianxue again, "Stop kneeling, sit down and talk to me."

Qianxue encouraged herself and stood up from the ground. She didn't dare to look around, so she found the chair closest to her and sat down.

Zicuckoo came back soon and stuffed a thick red seal into her hand.

Qianxue didn't dare to refuse, so she could only accept it, but the red envelope seemed a bit hot in her hand.

She naturally knew that the princess would not care about the money, but what could she bring to such a noble person?

Seeing that she accepted the red seal, the fourth prince's concubine started chatting, "Your name is Qian Xue. A Yu has mentioned you to me. I just don't know, has he ever told you about his previous affairs at the border?"

Qian Xue shook her head honestly and waited for the fourth prince's story.
