Yu Qingli raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were majestic without anger, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, gentle yet with a hint of coldness. "Oh? Tell me, what crime have you committed?"

Shu Yi's voice was hoarse, and she spoke with a sense of grievance, "This servant shouldn't have failed to recognize her own master. She shouldn't have followed His Highness here without her consent. This servant was given to Her Majesty by the Queen Mother. Naturally, I belong to Her Majesty in life and her ghost in death."

Murong Feng felt unhappy when he heard this, and looked at Yu Qingli with a bit of dissatisfaction, "Okay, I brought Shu Yi here, if you have any problems, just come to me, why bother a maid."

This tactic of sowing discord was really well used. Yu Qingli could almost see the faint smugness in Shu Yi's downcast eyes. Did she seem to think that by doing so, Murong Feng would become irreconcilable with her? Perhaps he thought too highly of her!

Yu Qingli suddenly laughed, walked over to pull Shuyi up, and pushed her into Murong Feng's arms. She smiled and said, "What is Your Highness saying? Why don't I understand a single word? I came here today because Sister Zhenzhen said that Your Highness seems to have taken a fancy to Shuyi, so I came to see what's going on."

In a word, Yu Qingli successfully removed herself, and also let Murong Feng know clearly that even if someone cared, that person was Yu Zhenzhen and not her, Yu Qingli.

As Yu Qingli spoke, she took Shu Yi's hand and said, "Miss Shu Yi, don't be afraid. It's a good thing that you have caught His Highness's eye. We are all very busy on weekdays, and sometimes we are worried that we haven't taken good care of His Highness. We are feeling anxious. It's such a coincidence that you appear. Moreover, His Highness seems to like you very much. Today, I will make a decision. How about you become a maidservant?"

This divine unfolding situation left Yu Zhenzhen and Chunyi somewhat bewildered. What was going on? Didn't Yu Qingli have a special liking for Murong Feng? Why would she be so generous as to give Shuyi to Murong Feng as his concubine?

Before Shu Yi could speak, Murong Feng felt a little embarrassed. If Yu Qingli was here alone, it would be fine, but now Yu Zhenzhen was here too. Taking in a maid in front of these two women made him somewhat concerned about the power behind them.

Murong Feng then said, "Qingli, what are you thinking about? I just asked her to come over to serve tea and water because I thought she was smart. How come you have other ideas when it comes to me?"

"Your Highness, this is all for your own good! Speaking of which, Your Highness has never had a caring maid by his side. Although those servants are also diligent, they are not as meticulous as women. Many things are better left to women. Does Your Highness think I am joking?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not! Your Highness, when the Queen Mother gave Shuyi to me, she specifically instructed me to find a good future for her. For this girl, the best future is to marry a good husband. After much thought, I think it would be better for her to stay in the mansion rather than to let her suffer in the future. She is surrounded by familiar people, and her husband is such a modest gentleman. He will not treat her badly. However, it is not too long since my husband and my sister got married. If we hold a grand ceremony at this time, it would be somewhat inappropriate. So for the time being, let Shuyi be a maidservant. When there is a chance in the future, it will not be too late to clear her name!"

Murong Feng was obviously moved. Ever since Mei Hong's death, he felt that there was indeed one less beautiful woman by his side. And when he saw Shu Yi for the first time, he felt that she would become that beautiful woman. There was a feeling about this woman that was very familiar to him.

But since this matter was brought up by Yu Qingli, Murong Feng felt a little unhappy. He couldn't even figure out Yu Qingli's thoughts. Wasn't she jealous at all and didn't care at all?

But the most important thing is Yu Zhenzhen's opinion. After all, Prime Minister Yu is standing behind her. If she offends Yu Zhengsha for a maid, it would be a loss.

Murong Feng's gaze fell on Yu Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, what do you think?"

Yu Zhenzhen now understood a bit of Yu Qingli's intention. Instead of making a big fuss, it would be better to remain calm and do a favor. Besides, Murong Feng was not a reckless person. The fact that he fell in love with a little maid so quickly this time only showed that this maid was indeed extraordinary.

Well, since Yu Qingli doesn't care, why should she, a concubine, care so much? Besides, she is just a maid in the final analysis. In terms of status, she is still below herself.

Yu Zhenzhen then followed Yu Qingli's words and continued, "I will listen to my sister in everything. My sister is the mistress of the house, so she will handle these matters!"

Yu Qingli clapped her hands and said, "Your Highness has heard it, and Zhenzhen also agrees. In this case, Your Highness should accept Shuyi. It can be regarded as a great favor to this concubine!"

At this point, Shu Yi's stay or departure had been decided, but Shu Yi knelt on the ground again, tears welling up in her eyes, and her face was full of grievance.

"My Lady, I know I was wrong. Please don't chase me away!"

Yu Qingli's face suddenly darkened. She looked down at the maid crawling on the ground, feeling a sense of disgust for no reason. "Shuyi, didn't I already tell you? I'll let you become His Highness's maid and take good care of His Highness's life from today on. What? Are you not satisfied?"

"How dare I be dissatisfied? It's just that I've just arrived at the mansion. If I were to be transferred now, I'm afraid it would cause gossip and trouble."

Yu Qingli knew in her heart that Shu Yi clearly didn't want to leave her side. If it were before, she might have considered it a little, but since she knew her evil ambitions, she didn't want to keep such a dangerous person by her side.

So Yu Qingli's face darkened, and she said coldly, "I will naturally take care of the servants in this mansion. Miss Shuyi is unwilling to serve His Highness. Could it be that you think the status of a concubine is too low? Are you asking me to give up the position of the Prince's Consort to you?"

"I don't dare! I don't dare!"

Shu Yi begged for mercy repeatedly. Seeing this, Murong Feng thought, "If Shu Yi really doesn't want to do it, let's just leave it at that. I can't learn to force others."

Shu Yi's eyes were filled with gratitude, but Yu Qingli found it annoying. She snorted coldly, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I forced her? Even if she was sent to the palace by the Queen Mother, so what? Once she enters the Prince's Mansion, isn't she a servant? If I want to transfer a servant, do I need their consent?"

"This……"

Yu Qingli's words made Murong Feng feel embarrassed. Although he knew in his heart that this matter was caused by himself, and he did have a special feeling for this palace maid named Shuyi, but Shuyi didn't seem to want to be with him. If that was the case, why did she behave so ambiguously towards him?

It's really annoying!

"Your Highness, I am the prince's consort. If I can't even arrange a small maid to satisfy my needs, then I don't want to be the prince's consort! Please give me a letter of divorce so that I can return to Jiangnan!"

"Qingli, why are you doing this? She's just a palace maid. You can arrange it however you want. Why are you saying such angry words?"

Yu Qingli sneered in her heart. She was not saying this in anger, but she knew that if she didn't say this, Shu Yi would definitely continue to cling to her and stay by her side. Although she was not afraid of this maid, she didn't want to see someone who wanted to kill her hanging around her all the time.

Seeing Yu Qingli's attitude, Murong Feng sighed and said, "Well, if that's the case, from today on, Shuyi will serve in my courtyard!"

Shu Yi wanted to say something, but Murong Feng glared at him coldly, "What? You won't obey my orders? You must remember your status. A servant is a servant. Even if you were sent by the Empress Dowager, you are still just a servant!"

Shu Yi bit her lip and didn't say anything else. She just said in a muffled voice, "Yes!"

Seeing this, Murong Feng nodded in satisfaction, put his arm around Yu Qingli's shoulders, and said soothingly, "Okay, Qingli, don't be angry. This is all my fault. The weather is nice today. How about I go out for a walk with you later?"

"That's fine, but I don't want to go to that Jinxiu Villa again, lest His Highness leave me idle and ignoring me again."

Murong Feng laughed, "Okay, okay, everything is up to you! It's still early, you should rest for a while before going."

"No, I got up late this morning, so I'll go out early. I'll go change my clothes. By the way, do you want to dress as a man today?"

"She should wear women's clothes. Even if she wears men's clothes, it can't hide her beauty."

"Your Highness will make fun of me. Please wait a moment, I will come soon."

After Yu Qingli finished speaking, she took Xiluo away. After turning around, the shyness and joy on her face were replaced by indifference and ridicule. These people wanted to laugh at her. They really underestimated her!

After Yu Qingli left, only Murong Feng and the others were left in the dining room. Yu Zhenzhen suddenly felt awkward, not knowing whether to leave or stay. When she was about to say goodbye to Murong Feng, Murong Feng ordered, "Shu Yi, go down first. I have a few words to say to the concubine."

Shu Yi turned and left. Chun Yi, who was standing beside him, felt something was wrong, so she quickly and quietly retreated, even closing the door for them.

Murong Feng's gaze fell on Yu Zhenzhen's face. Although his eyes were calm, Yu Zhenzhen felt a little frightened for no reason. She shuddered involuntarily as if she was falling into an ice cellar.

Neither of them spoke, but one looked at the other coldly and gloomily, while the other was trembling with fear and on guard.
