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.
