Chapter 909: Sharing the Same Room

Was he hesitating because he was afraid of being seen sleeping

Unfortunately, Jia Yin took the little fox and went behind the screen.

Mu Xu stood for a while, and then sat down, starting to eat heartily.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he lay down in his clothes, straining to hear any sound from inside.

Thus, he blushed slightly and couldn't help but speculate.

Are girls always this quiet when they sleep

He didn't know that behind layers of bedding, under the quilt, there was only a pillow.

Jia Yin had already brought the little fox into the space.

This is the safest place in the world, a world entirely under her control!

In Zilan Palace, both the masters and servants had gone to sleep.

But the Shoukang Palace remained brightly lit long into the night.

A wrinkled old grandmother, seeing her master sitting on a soft couch, the beads in his hand turning quickly, couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Though she hesitated, the advice still needed to be given. She could only grit her teeth and step forward, saying, "Your Majesty, you mustn't skip meals. The old servant has cooked a nourishing bird's nest porridge. At least have a few bites."

The Empress Dowager raised her head, looking at the compassionate expression from before, now completely different. Her eyes were filled with hostility as she asked in a hoarse voice.

"Which few families were ransacked by the Marquis of Xiting"

The old lady trembled slightly, forcing herself to calm down and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty Empress Dowager. Most of the soldiers in the Imperial Guard have been replaced. Now there are less than twenty who can still obey orders."

"Twenty people!" The Empress Dowager sneered, raising the rosary in her hand and smashing it hard onto the ground.

"What a wretch, Xin Ting Hou! To dare bring his blade down upon this humble lady again and again! Does he truly believe that because I am powerless, he can simply disregard me"

"Of course not!" The old woman crawled over, picked up the rosary beads, and held them in both hands, saying carefully, "Empress Dowager, you are brilliant. You brought Princess Kang Le into the palace long ago. You must know that she is Lord Xin Ting's precious eye, known throughout Tian Wu."

"The Dowager Empress only needs to keep County Princess Kangle in her grasp, and Marquis Xinting will certainly not dare to act so recklessly again! Even for the sake of his adoptive daughter's life, he will do whatever you command."

The Empress Dowager took several deep breaths, received the rosary beads, narrowed her eyes slightly, and after pondering for a while, said: “No, that ruthless killer is determined to regain control of Jiangbei. He wouldn't necessarily be willing to work for me just for a little girl.”

"But for now, let's probe his limits, engage him, and make him hesitant to act rashly. "

"Only when he persisted until next year, when he truly saw victory within reach, would that be the time—his time, the time of the foolish scholar from the Imperial Study, even the time of all of Heaven Martial, when their defenses were at their weakest.

"

"This empress will wipe them all out, and let everyone know who is really in charge here!"

Grandma dared not speak again, listening quietly.

As expected, after a while, the Empress's breath gradually calmed, suppressing her anger, and then ordered: "Arrange it, give Li family girl some courtesy gift for seeing me. If I am unhappy, then no one else can live in peace!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager. Please rest assured, this old servant has been in the palace for forty years, and I'm best at disciplining disobedient maids." The elderly nanny let out a slight sigh of relief and almost patted her chest in assurance.

"Go away, you're not needed here. We'll see how you do tomorrow!" The Empress waved her hand and the old nanny quickly retreated…

Jiayin slept soundly in the space, picked fruits, boiled medicine, and organized various medicine bottles and trinkets, busy as a bee.

When we went outside, it was just beginning to get light.

The little fox was sent outside the screen to take a look, then brought back an empty plate.

Mu Xu didn't know when, he had already left.

Jia Yin had been reading for a while when Shui Ling gently knocked on the door and came in to attend to her washing, changing clothes, while Shui Yun had already gone to the kitchen.

Suiling was afraid her master would suffer today, so she brought up the outfit she had prepared last night and chased after her master.

"My lady, where is that dragon-patterned pendant bestowed by the emperor Quickly find it and wear it. In case any scoundrel tries to bully you, they should at least be wary."

As she spoke, she took out two rabbit fur knee pads and skillfully tied them onto Jiayin's knees.

"That old hag is definitely going to pick a fight, and if she gets you kneeling down as punishment, at least this will keep you warm."

Jia Yin's words made Ji Xiaofu both laugh and cry. She advised, "If someone wants to pick a fight, there's no way to defend yourself. Besides, I didn't come to the palace to suffer grievances. If anyone bullies me, I will definitely get back at them!"

Shuiling hesitated for a moment before finally taking off her thick knee pads, but she still insisted on finding the dragon-patterned pendant.

She couldn't help but mutter, "Princess, please don't underestimate this. I heard Grandma He mention many times that the methods of harming people in the palace are particularly vicious! Last night, I was thinking about going to Shoukang Palace today and had nightmares all night long."

If you get bullied, Shuiyun and I would be ashamed to go home!

"Got it, got it!" Jia Yin patted her shoulder and said, "You and Shuicun should wear more clothes. It's not easy for me to put them in a difficult position, they won't be polite to you."

"You must also be careful. If you are bullied, tell me and do not suffer in silence."

"Understood, Miss," Shui Ling mumbled in response, her hands still busy and seemingly unconcerned.

In her eyes, they were slaves. A little mistreatment and grievance was nothing to them.

Only protecting the county lord is what matters!

Soon, someone came from the main hall. Jia Yin then took Shui Ling out.

While the three little foxes were left at home to guard a pile of fish and meat jerky, they didn't cause any trouble.

The third princess had two dark bluish-black patches under her eyes, and she kept yawning. When Jia Yin entered, she grabbed her arm and complained indignantly.

"I'm afraid you were bullied today, I hardly slept last night. How come you look so good, you heartless person!"

Jia Yin smiled and pulled her to sit down for a meal, comforting her: "It's not like a dragon's lair or tiger's den. Why are you so worried"

"The Empress Dowager is such a kind and compassionate person, she loves us younger generations so much. There's no way she would make things difficult for us, you're overthinking it.

Even if we were truly inconvenienced, it would only be those lowly servants acting out of their own volition, attempting to impede our closeness with the Empress Dowager.

What we need to do is tell the Empress Dowager so that she doesn't remain in the dark and think that all the maids serving her are good.

"This is also our filial piety, isn't it"

The third princess blinked a couple of times, then suddenly smiled and replied, “You’re right. As juniors, we should be more filial to our grandmother.”

Jia Yin rolled up her sleeves and placed a crystal steamed dumpling into her hand, smiling. "You're a quick learner! It's important to consider others in everything you do and try to see things from their perspective."

“As long as it’s for her good, even if we act recklessly, who can blame us two little girls We mean well!”

“Yes, kindly, we are kind!” The third princess’s eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some wonderful way. She bit into half a dumpling and was overjoyed.

Grandma Hao stood guard at the door, hearing everything from beginning to end. She was incredibly grateful that she had driven all the palace maids away earlier.

Can these words be discussed so openly

My own princess has been corrupted, corrupted!

Jia Yin and the Third Princess didn't care what she thought. After eating their fill, they swaggered off to Shou Kang Palace.

And the Shoukang Palace was also looking forward to their arrival...
