I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

It was rare for Xu Youzhi to come to the front yard, let alone to the gate of the palace.

Many maids and servants who had never seen Xu Youzhi were secretly frightened by her appearance.

No wonder the prince followed the etiquette of marrying a wife even though he was taking a concubine. This girl deserves this honor just based on her looks.

Those who can serve as servants in Prince Yan’s Mansion are all shrewd people.

Although after the Lin family was wiped out, everyone knew that the servants who had disappeared without reason before were all spies sent by the aristocratic families into the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

But after so many years of being cautious and careful, there are no servants in Prince Yan's mansion who act like bossy people around.

The prince took his concubine in as his principal wife, and it might be said that she was even more noble than the future prince's consort.

The old woman who was talking to Zhao Chuxi was an elder in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. She naturally knew that Xu Youzhi was the daughter-in-law chosen by the late princess herself.

Even in the past, even an old lady like her who had spent her whole life in Prince Yan's Mansion had to call her "Miss Youzhi".

Not to mention that nowadays, "Miss Youzhi" has also been changed to "Miss Youzhi".

"Is Ling'er back?"

Xu Youzhi walked out of the palace with lotus steps and asked the old woman in a soft voice.

"Miss Youzhi, it's not the princess, it's a young man who wants to visit the prince."

The old woman bowed slightly, her expression respectful, and the humility in her tone was even more than before when she was talking to Zhao Chuxi.

Xu Youzhi was slightly stunned, then she looked at Zhao Chuxi and bowed like a servant:

"I greet you, sir. My master is not at home. Please go to the side hall and have some refreshments. I will inform you when my master comes back."

Although Xu Youzhi has been hiding behind the scenes these years, she is not shy when dealing with these matters.

Zhao Chuxi in front of him was wearing gorgeous clothes, and the convoy behind him was not something that ordinary people would dare to use casually. Xu Youzhi did have some vision in this regard.

However, when Zhao Chuxi heard Xu Youzhi's voice, he looked a little dazed. Now that he saw the real person, he just stood there in a daze.

He stared at Xu Youzhi with his mouth slightly open, almost drooling.

Ever since she got married to Li Mu, Xu Youzhi has been dressed like a maid, and Li Linger has tried to persuade her several times but to no avail.

He insisted that concubines were also slaves and were used to dressing like that.

However, Li Ling'er didn't understand when Xu Youzhi had ever worn a maid's clothes, but since it was just a set of clothes, she had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.

But even if it was a maid's clothes, how could it hide Xu Youzhi's peerless beauty.

On the face that always smiles like a flower, there is a teardrop mole, which adds a touch of charm to the originally immature appearance.

The old woman saw that Zhao Chuxi was like a pig and kept staring at Xu Youzhi. She frowned slightly, took a step forward, stood in front of Xu Youzhi, and said in a formal way:

"Sir, if you don't want to enter the mansion, please go back. It won't be too late for you to visit again when the princess or the prince comes back."

"How dare you! How dare you talk to my master? Hey! Master, master?"

"Get out of the way! You have no sense."

When Liu Fuquan heard the old woman's words, he was about to show off, but Zhao Chuxi, who was behind him, kicked him hard on the butt and drove him aside.

Zhao Chuxi cleared his throat, took a step forward and said:

"Zhao Chuxi wants to apologize to Miss Youzhi Hu for the servant's disrespect just now. I have come with gifts, and please lead the way, Miss Youzhi."

Zhao Chuxi frowned slightly and thought silently in his heart, "Zhao Chuxi, this palace?"

He immediately looked at the old woman beside him and said seriously:

"Aunt Fang, tell someone to open the front door."

Then he looked at Zhao Chuxi, showed a kind smile, and said respectfully:

"I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will not be so hostile to us servants. I will send someone to find the princess right now. Please move to the main hall."

Zhao Chuxi waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent, and nodded at Xu Youzhi.

He then ordered his servants to move the gifts into Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Your Highness, are you showing your power?"

Liu Fuquan, who was kicked, tiptoed to Zhao Chuxi's side and reminded him carefully.

However, Zhao Chuxi ignored him. After the Prince of Yan's Mansion opened the main gate to welcome guests, he followed Xu Youzhi into the mansion.

At this point, if Liu Fuquan still cannot see the situation clearly, then all these years of his life will have been in vain.

I know that Zhao Chuxi must have taken a fancy to this little maid in Prince Yan's Mansion, so I'm afraid the focus of this visit to Prince Yan's Mansion will have to be shifted.

Liu Fuquan already had a plan in mind. For a young eunuch like him who had entered the palace at a young age, sharing the worries of his lord was his whole life principle.

Not long after.

Zhao Chuxi sat in the first seat in the main hall of the palace, drinking cup after cup of tea.

Xu Youzhi led him into the main hall and then disappeared.

Zhao Chuxi originally was self-respecting of his status and didn't say much, but after not seeing Xu Youzhi for such a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient and his anger rose inexplicably.

With his ability to read people's expressions, Liu Fuquan naturally knew what Zhao Chuxi was thinking.

Just as the maid was pouring tea for Zhao Chuxi, Liu Fuquan did something naughty with his hands. He shot a stream of true energy at the teacup, spilling the scalding tea on the maid.

Then, without waiting for the maid to speak, she started to curse:

"You clumsy thing, if you burn my master, you won't have enough heads to chop off even if you have ten."

Zhao Chuxi frowned slightly, looked at Liu Fuquan, and heard him say:

"Fortunately, my master is kind and will not argue with you. Please go and ask Miss Youzhi to come over. My master has something to ask her."

When Zhao Chuxi heard this, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After giving Liu Fuquan an appreciative look, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, looking forward to Xu Youzhi's arrival.

When Liu Fuquan saw that Zhao Chuxi approved of him, his guess became even more certain, and he was so proud that he no longer concealed his voice.

Seeing that the maid was still cleaning up the spilled tea and was not looking for Xu Youzhi, she shouted at him:

"Let others clean up this place, why don't you go!"

The little maid was frightened by the shrill voice, and she trembled. She nodded in a tearful tone and trotted out of the main hall.

The other maids and servants in the hall were all silent, with their heads lowered and not daring to make the slightest sound.

They were not stupid and they saw through Liu Fuquan's intention, but they also knew their identities and did not dare to remind them.

Whoever the prince is, he will be the future emperor.

It is not uncommon in history that the emperor fell in love with the wives and concubines of his ministers. It is not their place to interfere in the affairs of their master's family.

Liu Fuquan glanced at the other servants in the hall and cursed them inwardly for having no tact at all. Then he pointed at a maid at random and ordered her to clean up the tea that had just been spilled.

However, after waiting for a long time, Xu Youzhi still did not show up.

Liu Fuquan understood the impatience on Zhao Chuxi's face and shouted sharply:

"Is this how you entertain guests at the Prince of Yan's Mansion? Besides, my master is just an ordinary guest?"

He then pointed at the maid standing at the door and raised his hand to send out a stream of true energy.

The true energy was like a blade, not only cutting off the hair around the maid's ears, but also leaving a thumb-long blood mark on her neck.

The little maid felt pain in her neck, but she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make any sound, and let the blood flow into her collar, for fear of disturbing the distinguished guest.

It has to be said that Prince Yan has managed the palace with military discipline over the years. Although the palace is a bit lifeless, in terms of rules, it is slightly inferior even to the imperial palace.

"Go and call Miss Youzhi quickly. My master has something to ask. If you delay my master's business, don't blame us..."

Liu Fuquan was a shrewd man, and although he showed off a bit, his reasons were sufficient, and he did not dare to overstep the mark when addressing Xu Youzhi.

It can be said that Xu Youzhi will be his master from now on.

However, before he could finish his words, he heard a woman's gentle voice coming from outside the hall:

"How are you doing?"
