Xiang Cao immediately bowed after hearing this, âThis servant spoke too much. Concubine, please forgive me.â
Concubine Rou waved her hand before turning her gaze back onto Luo Qing Chen, âWhat you said just nowâ¦â¦is it true?â
âThis servant isnât entirely sure, but after being with Concubine Li for some time, my eyes are quite good.â Luo Qing Chen pursed her lips as she said, âAs long as the concubine gives Qing Chen some time, Qing Chen will definitely be able to give the concubine an answer.â
âGood, this one will believe in you.â Concubine Rou looked at Xiang Cao on the side and said, âGo to the clothes washing department and tell them that the Righteous Declaration Palace wants this maid.â
âConcubineâ¦â¦â Xiang Cao wanted to say something, but she knew that she had made Concubine Rou unhappy, so she could only purse her lips and say, âThis servant will do it now.â
Concubine Rou gave a nod. She didnât forget to add, âAfter youâre done, go report to the internal affairs department.â
âConcubine, be assured, this servant knows what to do.â Xiang Cao gave a bow before turning to leave.
When she passed by Luo Qing Chen, she didnât forget to stomp her foot, âDonât be so proud.â
âXiang Cao.â
âThis servant is going, concubine.â
Concubine Rou watched Xiang Cao leave. Only when she was gone did she shake her head and say, âThis one normally spoils her too much, so she has a bit of a willful temper.â
âItâs clear that the concubine is kind.â Luo Qing Chen blinked before saying, âConcubine, please be assured, Qing Chen used to do some dirty things for Concubine Li in the past, but this servant has a firm mind. This servant wonât do things that will put peopleâs lives in danger.â
âSuspicious people arenât useful and useful people arenât suspicious.â Concubine Rou looked at her, âThis one summoned you to this oneâs palace today not to pursue the past.â
âI can guess that even if this servant didnât tell the concubine the truth, the concubine would have at most rebuked me and sent me back to the clothes washing department.â Luo Qing Chenâs lips curled slightly, âThis servant wouldnât have received twenty paddles.â
âQing Chen, since you are entering the Righteous Declaration Palace, you should know that everything that you say and do will represent this one and the Righteous Declaration Palace.â Concubine Rou looked at her with a gentle look, âDonât speculate on your masterâs thoughts in the future, understood?â
âQing Chen understandsâ¦â¦â
â
Xiang Cao, who came back from the internal affairs department, arranged a room for her. It was the furthest and most remote room.
Although it didnât look messy, it was filled with dust.
âAlthough I donât know what magic soup youâve fed Concubine Rou, I am accurate in judging people.â Xiang Cao gave a cold snort, âI know what you were like in the Harmonious West Palace. You can trick the concubine, but you canât fool me.â
Luo Qing Chen revealed a smile after hearing this, âYouâre saying that the concubine is dumber than you?â
âYouâ¦â¦â Xiang Cao pointed her finger at her, âIâve never said this and donât slander others. The concubine is kind, but Iâm not. You better watch yourself.â
As soon as her voice fell, Xiang Cao flicked her sleeve and turned to leave.
Luo Qing Chen was able to tidy up the room after an afternoon of cleaning.
She even made a few improvised racks to hang her clothes on.
But since Xiang Cao didnât like her, she wouldnât help her get new clothes. She should take care of it herself.
After all, she was now a maid of the Righteous Declaration Palace. If she still wore the robes of the clothes washing department, it wouldnât be right.
On the way to the embroidery workshop, Luo Qing Chen was thinking about the eighth prince. She never expected to be stopped by Song Nan Mo.
Then there were gasps from all around.
âPlease stop.â
