At the same time, a plain and low-key green-covered carriage drove into the side door of the palace.

Liuzi was standing in the corridor. As soon as the carriage appeared from the door, he hurried to meet it, followed it step by step to the center of the yard, and opened the curtain with his own hands.

A silent, amiable, pale, thin woman walked out.

"Six sons."

"Miss Caihe."

Muyang Residence.

"Your servant Caihe greets the prince." Caihe knelt down and saluted the person in the upper position.

Zhou Boli: "Please pay more attention to it, Miss Caihe. Liuzi will also assist you."

"Your Highness, there is no need to say more. I will do as you say." After saying this, she knelt straight down and kowtowed to the ground. "I also ask Your Highness to keep his promise and ensure that my young lady is safe and sound."

"do not worry."

Liuzi then stepped forward, helped her up, and led her to a house at the back.

"Miss Caihe, my master did not intend to hide it." Liuzi hesitated, and finally said it.

Cai He said softly, "Sixth son, you and I are both servants. Servants have no right to discuss matters between masters."

"You're right, I was worrying too much." Liuzi was disappointed, bowed, and turned back.

"Why do you look so grim?" Zhou Boli glanced at him. "What did Miss Caihe say to you?"

Liuzi sighed, "She didn't say anything. I was just worried about my master."

Zhou Boli's expression was indifferent. "Oh, tell me, what are you worried about for me?"

Liuzi spoke with difficulty, "Master, what if, what if. What if the princess never forgives you for deceiving her?"

"I accept your good words."

Liuzi, huh, what did he say?

Zhou Boli stared at the document in his hand. "First, the princess is magnanimous and will avenge her grudges immediately. Secondly, I have created several opportunities for her to confess, but she refused to accept. Finally, even if she is unwilling to forgive me, as you said, we have a lifetime. I can wait. We will get married and have children. Even if she dies, I will still have a place by her side."

After hearing these words, Liuzi felt sour in his stomach, and his expression was indescribable. "Master, how did you do it?"

Zhou Boli finally raised his eyes and opened his thin lips slightly, "Are you itching for trouble?"

Liuzi turned around quickly and disappeared into the house.

The next day, Miss Lu dressed up and went to Mingde Hall with Yaoli and Tonghua.

Princess Gao smiled lovingly, "My child, didn't I tell you that you don't need to come and pay your respects to me? We in South Vietnam don't have the same rules as in the Central Plains."

Miss Lu sat down next to the seat and said humbly, "It is precisely because the elders are sympathetic that the younger generation believes that they should take the initiative to serve as a token of their gratitude."

"What a good child." Princess Gao seemed to have realized something. "Unlike that rascal I gave birth to, who was hiding things all day long, and I don't know what he was doing."

A trace of dejection flashed across Miss Lu's face, and she forced a smile and said, "Your Highness and the Prince are mother and son. Even if there is something that cannot be said in front of outsiders, the Prince will never hide it from Your Highness if you ask about it in private."

Princess Gao sighed, "I know the news that the Crown Prince brought a girl back home a few days ago has been circulating in the palace, and you must have heard about it too. Speaking of which, I also want to meet this person, but Bo Li is very protective of her, and Mu Yangju is under his control to keep a tight rein. But don't worry, you are the Crown Prince's Consort of our Nanyue Palace, and no matter how many other girls he brings back, they won't be able to surpass you."

Miss Lu's expression relaxed as she stood up and saluted. "I thank you, Your Majesty. As long as the prince is happy, it doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances."

Princess Gao was indeed very pleased. "This incident also reminds me that after the national mourning is over, you and Boli will get married. But now Boli doesn't even have a maid in his house. It just so happens that Old Zhou said he will bring a group of people to the mansion tomorrow. Then you can come with me to pick out some. You can keep two for yourself and pick two more to send to Muyang Residence to make it more impressive."

On the way back, I ran into the prince.

Miss Lu was overjoyed and said, "Meet the prince."

Zhou Boli stopped and asked, "Did the princess just come out of Mingde Hall?"

Miss Lu nodded and looked curiously at the person behind him. "Sir, who is this?"

When the man saw her looking at him, he lowered his head even more.

"Nothing, I just went to pay my respects to my mother. Princess, take care."

Caihe realized that a pair of eyes were following her back, so she walked more than ten steps away before raising her head.

"Girl, what's wrong?" Tonghua didn't understand why the girl kept staring at that man.

Yaoli gritted her teeth and said, "Fox spirit."

Miss Lu retracted her gaze. "I just thought she looked familiar." She took a few steps and then stopped. "Yao Li, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to ask Miss Yao Chun for some loose beads to make a necklace?"

Yao Li was obviously stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and nodded hurriedly, "Look at this servant's memory. If the young lady hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it."

Back at Qiufengzhai, Miss Lu picked up the handkerchief in the bamboo basket that she had just embroidered a few stitches on.

Yao Li hurried in, half jealous and half gloating, "Young lady, I've heard that the maid we just met is called Caihe. She was bought by the prince to serve the one in Muyang Residence. Yao Chun said that the queen got very angry last time because the prince brought some unsavory people into the house. This time, I didn't dare to hide the matter of buying a maid from the queen. Now this Caihe is kneeling outside Mingde Courtyard."

As Miss Lu listened, her hands kept moving, the silver needle shuttled back and forth on the flower frame in her hand. If Yao Li paid close attention, she could see that the stitches in her hand were messy.

No wonder they had searched for Caihe for so long but couldn't find any clues about her. It turned out she had been hidden. Now she appeared openly in the mansion.

One possibility is that the one from Muyangju is the real one.

Another possibility is that Zhou Boli cannot tell who is real between Mu Yangju and her, and needs someone to help him tell the difference.

Of course, the worst-case scenario is that he knew he was an imposter the entire time, and Cai He's appearance was intended to throw us off balance and expose our identities. Princess Ning'an had already been found and hidden by them.

No matter which one it is, the current situation is very unfavorable for them, and she urgently needs to leave the house to find out the situation.

Housekeeper Zhou entered with a dozen maids of all ages and sizes and stood in the open space in front of the house.

"My lady, everyone is here."

Princess Gao nodded and first turned her attention to the four or five girls leading the group. According to the information on the roster, they were all around sixteen or seventeen years old and all very striking in appearance. She then cast her eyes on the little girls standing at the back, most of whom were around thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Princess, is there anyone you like?"

Miss Lu pretended to look carefully and said, "Madam, I think the ones wearing blue and gray are both good-looking and look well-behaved."

Princess Gao laughed. "You child, I told you to choose your own servants first, but you chose others first. The two you mentioned are indeed good in every way, except for their appearance, which was chosen according to the preferences of the people of the Qin Dynasty."
