Since the Maid Du had no other choice, he could only go down.

It was true that Wang Pei was Empress Dowager Wang's nephew, but that nephew was born into a concubine as well. Wang Pei's mother was a Maid by her big brother's side, and while her big brother was drunk, he crawled onto Master's bed. Who knew that she was so lucky, that he became pregnant in one go, and even gave birth to Wang Pei later on.

It was a pity that this person was a lifesaver. He had died before he had been able to enjoy life for even a few years.

Wang Pei was not valued by his father or Aunt Di, he did not have a biological mother to remind him, and from childhood to now, he had no idea how much he had been spoiled by the servant girls.

Lady Wang was waiting for her husband to die so she could separate her useless son from the family. If it wasn't for the Empress Dowager Wang looking after him from time to time, he probably would have already starved to death on the streets.

The Princess Changze had taken a fancy to him as a hoodlum, so sometimes, rogue methods were much easier to use than a gentleman's methods.

Lin Shu's days in the palace were much smoother than what she had imagined, so she paid respects to the Empress Zhang on the second day, and stayed in the Tzu Ning Palace the rest of the time. Every time evening came, the Empress Dowager Wang would pay respects to the Empress Dowager Wang, and when he had time, Ye Wen would also call her over.

It was a pity that Lin Shu's playing skills were too poor. After Empress Dowager Wang called her out twice, she also did not get called out again.

In everyone's eyes, Lin Shu could be considered to be completely out of favour. After all, with the Princess Changze as a precedent, everyone only felt that being by her side during the day was the most favoured way.

In the beginning, the concubines had also sent their little gadgets to Lin Shu, but gradually, no one thought of Lin Shu anymore.

Lin Shu was happy to be at ease as well. Everyday, she would copy the scriptures in the west wing and serve Tou'er who was in charge of attending to the flowers in Tzu Ning Palace.

That day, however, Suqin hurried in and said in a small voice, "Miss, Princess Changze left the palace. Just now, a servant found out from a servant that Princess Changze had left in such a hurry that even Esteemed Empress Dowager couldn't keep her. Tell me, what is Princess Changze up to?

These days, Princess Changze had already made them nervous from running out of the palace from time to time. Now that Princess Changze had not entered the palace for more than half a month, was he planning something?

Lin Shu's subordinates also stopped in their tracks, and said in a low voice: "What excuse did she use to come out of the palace?"

Actinin Qin looked around, seeing that all the nearby palace maids were focused on attending to the flowers and herbs in their hands, she said: "Said that Master King Rui and Princess Rui are not in the capital, and there is no one taking care of the King Rui Palace, since it's the new year anyway, she has to go back to take a look." Back then, the empress dowager had already said that King Rui and Princess Rui were similar in the past years. Why is it that this year, Princess Changze is only thinking of returning, do you know what Princess Changze said? "

She paused before gritting her teeth. "Princess Changze only said that she previously thought that Esteemed Empress Dowager had no one by her side to accompany her. Now that you're here, she can finally relax and return …" "Everyone knows that Esteemed Empress Dowager loves Princess Changze so much that her eyes are like eyeballs. Now that you've left the palace, you might as well apply ointment in front of Esteemed Empress Dowager."

Lin Shu laughed, "If she doesn't do that, then is she still a Princess Changze? Forget it, let her be. We can't afford to mess things up for now. "

In this period of time, she had been dreaming about her mother's death in her previous life and would often wake up in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Empress Dowager Wang didn't stop her from writing letters, so he would write to her mother every three to five days.

After she finished attending to all the expensive peony flowers, just as she was about to leave the greenhouse, she saw Man Jing standing at the door, smiling at her.

Man Jing was a first-rate palace maid to the Empress Dowager Wang. Although he was young, he was smarter than others, and was also more beautiful than others.

Seeing that, Lin Shu immediately called out: "Sister Man Jing."

Man Jing nodded her head and smiled as she walked in. The young palace maids by the side went up and greeted her respectfully, then she laughed: "There's some red bean porridge in the afternoon, you guys can go down and use it.

One by one, the palace maids departed, all the while feeling overjoyed.

Man Jing said with a smile: "I wonder if Fourth Miss is free?"

Lin Shu nodded and replied softly, "Of course I'm free." Speaking of which, she had not talked to Man Jing for too long after entering the palace.

"I have something that I want to say to Fourth Miss." After saying that, Man Jing looked at Actinin Qin who was behind Lin Shu with a smile.

She led Lin Shu to the small stone chair in the flower room and sat down, then said: "Although I am a servant, I have been in the palace for a while now, and have climbed up step by step for these few years. I think that you are extremely accurate in looking at people, if I'm not wrong, Princess Changze probably does not like the Fourth Miss too much right?"

"How did Sister Man Jing know?" Lin Shu was a little stunned, she could not help but feel astonished. This Man Jing stayed by Empress Dowager Wang's side everyday, and whether it was in front of the Empress Dowager Wang or the palace maid, she treated her extremely well. She even said that in the future, he would treat Princess Changze as his own aunt.

Man Jing said with a smile, "Compared to having a demon, I know better than anyone what character Princess Changze has. When the Old Prince Rui passed away, the empress dowager doted on the Princess Changze and sent him to live in the palace from time to time. She would even dare to contradict the empress dowager's words.

"She told Esteemed Empress Dowager that she wanted to marry and was afraid that Esteemed Empress Dowager would be lonely, so she wanted to bring an obedient and intelligent girl from the aristocratic families to accompany her. Originally, Esteemed Empress Dowager didn't agree, but said that girls were the treasures of their parents, so how could she bear to send their children to the palace?" Because of this, the Princess Changze advised the empress dowager for a few days. At the time, I felt that something was amiss, and now I'm even more certain of my guess. "

"Princess Changze seems to treat Fourth Miss quite well, but sometimes, when you look at Fourth Miss, your eyes are filled with scheming. I don't know what exactly Princess Changze is scheming, nor do I know if a little girl has any good tricks up her sleeve, but I know that Princess Changze and Fourth Miss aren't going to fight, so I don't know if my words are true?"

Lin Shu looked at her for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "Since Big Sister Man Jing is telling the truth, then I will also tell the truth, what you said is correct. Not only is Princess Changze and I not against each other, I can even say that … "Enemy." In his previous life, the Princess Changze killed his mother, and in this life, he even tried to kill his mother.

"Then I have a method to make Fourth Miss lose his favor in front of the empress dowager. Is Fourth Miss interested?" After saying that, Man Jing did not care about the amount of money on Lin Shu's face. Instead, she picked up the tea Gu by the side and took a sip before slowly saying: You and Princess Changze are enemies, and I am too.

With this, Lin Shu became even more shocked, "Sister Man Jing …."

In her opinion, although Man Jing was a palace maid, if there was someone in the world who would do this to her, even the Empress Zhang would have to give her face, let alone the palace maids and Internal Service s, who would not be respectful to her?

Once, when Lin Shu accompanied the Empress Dowager Wang to play Playing Leaf, Empress Dowager Wang even asked the Empress Zhang to help him find a good partner to marry Man Jing off. With such an honor, how many people in the Palace could possibly have such a talent?

However, at that time Princess Changze was interrupting them, saying that Man Jing was still young and was not in a hurry. After Empress Zhang had listed a few people, didn't Princess Changze say that she was born with a short and fat stature, like a small potato? That was to say that her eyes were small and her smile was gone, and with her teasing, Man Jing's marriage was brought to light.

Thinking of this, she realized that something was wrong.

A trace of ridicule surfaced on Man Jing's normally gentle face, "The Princess Changze was always selfish, but because Wang Pei gave her a purple crystal, she agreed to give me to Wang Pei as a concubine and even mentioned me in front of the empress dowager. If I hadn't gained the empress dowager's favor, she wouldn't be able to say such words, and would have already become Wang Pei's concubine."

"Yesterday, when Wang Pei came to the palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager, he even held my hand and said a lot of things, wanting me to wait for him. He would welcome me into the palace in a few months … At that time, I pretended to be calm and asked Wang Pei, saying that Esteemed Empress Dowager naturally had her own plans for my marriage. Esteemed Empress Dowager even had a choice in mind, but Wang Pei said, So what if Esteemed Empress Dowager had a choice in mind? Then, when Princess Changze says something nice to persuade, won't Esteemed Empress Dowager still give me to her? He adds that after doing such a great thing for Princess Changze, Princess Changze still has evidence in his hands, so he's no longer afraid of you going back on your word. "

Thinking about Wang Pei's fat head, big ears, and lustful look, she felt disgusted, but he suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said: "When I asked him what it was about, Wang Pei was unwilling to say anything. He only said that by the beginning of next year, everything would be revealed to the world. "I'm just afraid that by that time, it will already be too late."

She didn't really want to work with a ten-year old girl, but it seemed that she had no other choice other than Lin Shu. Empress Dowager Wang's ears were also soft, someone had to help her speak a few sentences.

Lin Shu's mind was racing. Wang Pei? Was it the impotent bastard that gave birth to a nephew in the Empress Dowager Wang? What could he help Princess Changze with …

Thinking about it, she felt that she did not have any clues, "Then what does Sister Man Jing want me to do?"

Man Jing subconsciously glanced at the door, seeing that there was no one at the door, she said, "I want you to tell the empress dowager that Princess Changze is pregnant!"
