The little girl was sad for a while, then immediately became cheerful again, smiled with a dimple on her face, and looked at her sweetly.

"So I can understand you!" She nodded to affirm herself.

Lin Zhihe suddenly felt that he had found a confidant and a soul mate, and couldn't help but hug her and hold her in his arms.

Although the little girl was a little surprised, she lay obediently in her arms, stroking her back from time to time.

"What's your name?"

The little girl lay in her arms, her voice muffled, "My name is Chunyue"

They were chatting nicely just now, but when I asked her name, the girl immediately became reserved.

"Chun Yue from the Clothing Department, right?" Lin Zhihe couldn't help but pinch her chubby little face.

"Yes" the little girl is very well behaved.

"Hey, you dead girl, why are you hiding here instead of going to work?" A sharp voice came from somewhere, with a very bad tone.

When Chunyue heard this, he stood up immediately like a catapult. He wanted to run but stopped instead. He was panic-stricken and very anxious.

"Hey, you dead girl, you are here. If you don't play nicely here, I will skin you alive!" The voice came from a distance, hurried and nervous.

As the steps got closer, Chunyue felt more and more at a loss, with a feeling that a disaster was about to happen.

Her hands and feet couldn't help twitching, and tears were about to fall as she waited for the nanny to speak.

The nanny sounded quite old and had a harsh voice. She must not be a good person.

"You damn bitch..." The nanny pointed at Chunyue, but stopped immediately when she saw Lin Zhihe.

Lin Zhihe had just returned from outside the palace and had not had time to change into the dress of a royal concubine, so she was just wearing casual clothes.

The nanny looked at the woman in casual clothes and felt relieved that she was not a queen from the palace. However, she couldn't help but look at Lin Zhihe's face a few times.

"You bastard, if I don't punish you for a day you will go crazy. Why are you hiding here playing? Do you want to die?" The nanny's voice was so sharp and piercing that it made Lin Zhihe's head ache.

Chunyue became even more frightened when she heard this. She knelt on the ground and cried loudly without saying a word.

Seeing Chunyue crying in fear, the nanny became even more proud. She bent down and stretched out her hand to grab Chunyue's ear.

But he was directly blocked by Lin Zhihe.

Seeing Lin Zhihe blocking her, the nanny did not get angry. Instead, she looked at Lin Zhihe's face in surprise and suspicion.

“Excuse me, who is this girl…” The more the nanny looked at her, the more she felt something was not right. Her voice became weaker and she held on.

This was beyond Lin Zhihe's expectations.

She thought that the nanny would start to humiliate her like in the novel, and Lin Zhihe would fight back. The nanny would again laugh at Lin Zhihe for not knowing her own weight, and then Lin Zhihe revealed her identity. The story ended with the nanny being dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, this nanny is quite tactful and humbles herself when looking at a suspicious person like Lin Zhihe.

That’s right, this is a real harem, not the cool novels she reads.

Every eunuch servant living in the palace has eight hundred minds and is very good at observing people's words and expressions.

The nanny was still bowing and waiting for Lin Zhihe's answer, but Lin Zhihe just found it boring.

"Names are not important in the harem. Who remembers whose name? I recently got a new title, which is quite interesting. Do you want to hear it?"

Lin Zhihe thought he was very pleasant and amiable, but after hearing what she said, the nanny became even more frightened than the kneeling Chunyue.

A feeling of panic and regret appeared on her pale face. Every wrinkle was twitching. She tried hard to force a smile but it was uglier than crying.

The maid fell to her knees with a thud, and kept kowtowing on the ground, "I was blind and didn't recognize the noble concubine Chen. It was my fault. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

As if kowtowing was not enough, the nanny started slapping herself in the face, and the crisp sounds echoed within the walls.

"This slave deserves death! This slave..."

“Stop, stop, stop!” Lin Zhihe quickly reached out to stop him.

She really didn't like the nanny in front of her, but she didn't hate her to this extent.

"Your servant..." The nanny seemed to think that Lin Zhihe was not fanning him hard enough, so she fanned him even harder.

Not only did his face swell up instantly, but blood was already seeping from the corners of his mouth, flowing down his chin.

Liu Li told her that there were only two imperial concubines in the harem, so the status of an imperial concubine was of supreme honor, truly second only to the emperor.

There are countless eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and their lives are as insignificant as those of ants. Not to mention the imperial concubine, even someone like Hepin can casually dispose of anyone she dislikes.

That's why they walk on thin ice every day, wishing they could keep their eyes and ears open.

She had just been canonized, so it would make sense for her to use the maidservant in front of her to establish her authority.

At least that's how it looks in the maid's eyes, so the nanny in front of her feels that she is in big trouble.

Lin Zhihe shook her head helplessly. She really couldn't stay in this place anymore, she had to leave quickly.

She grabbed Mammy's hand and said, "It's not a big deal. There's no need to be like this."

The nanny was a little surprised. She knelt there in astonishment, looking at Lin Zhihe.

"I have offended the Imperial Concubine, I deserve death!"

"I...I didn't say I would punish you."

Lin Zhihe pointed at Chunyue who was also surprised and said, "This little girl, treat her well and don't hit her again. If I know that you hit her again, you will be dead."

Nanny answered repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely treat Chunyue well!"

She couldn't help but touch Chunyue's little face again, "I live in the Vermillion Bird Palace. If you need help in the future, come to the Vermillion Bird Palace to find a eunuch named Liu Li. He will bring you to see me. Remember?"

Chunyue nodded and blinked.

"I'm going back to the palace, you guys should go back too."

After saying that, Lin Zhihe turned and left, no longer looking at the two of them.

There was a figure standing not far away. I didn't know when he had been standing there, but it must have been a while.

He didn't come closer, just looked at Lin Zhihe.

"Master, what's wrong?" Liu Li leaned against the red wall with a smile on her face.

"That little girl," Lin Zhihe pointed at Chunyue, "if she comes to you, help her."

Liu Li narrowed her eyes and looked at the two people opposite her.

The two men were still kneeling on the ground, looking at Lin Zhihe's back with respectful expressions, motionless.

After being pointed at, the nanny became even more flustered and her body trembled.

Liu Li smiled even more, "I'll remember that."

The two of them walked towards the Vermillion Bird Palace one after the other without speaking.

Before entering the main gate of the Vermilion Bird Palace, Liu Li suddenly said, "If the master likes her, I can bring her to the Vermilion Bird Palace."

Lin Zhihe waved his hand and stepped over the threshold.

"What did they say over there?"
