Zhou Lingling narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and saw the dragon-patterned jade pendant on the man's waist.

Dragon pattern?

This show-off is the third prince?

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, the third prince frowned.

The young eunuch who followed him took a look at his master's expression and immediately stood up:

"You are so bold and treacherous! You don't even show respect to the Third Prince?"

Oh.

It really is the third prince.

Zhou Lingling glanced at the other person.

Well, he looks only slightly like Xiao Yan.

Not as tall as Xiao Yan.

Not as good-looking as Xiao Yan.

Swollen eye sockets and weak feet.

Although he is older than Xiao Yan, he is definitely not a person who cultivates his moral character!

The young eunuch shouted, thinking that the other party would be frightened and immediately kneel down and salute respectfully when he heard the identity of the third prince.

But why did the other party look at the third prince with a look of disgust?

"You! You are so bold!"

Zhou Lingling rolled her eyes: "Is that all you can say?"

Faced with Zhou Lingling's rudeness, the third prince did not get angry but laughed instead.

In this huge general's mansion, the little girl in front of him was the only maid he had ever seen.

In the General's Mansion, from the gatekeepers to the cleaners, all of them are men.

Apart from the two ladies in the kitchen, there was not a single woman in sight.

It is said that most of them are disabled veterans.

The third prince sneered in his heart, thinking that his ninth brother would win people's hearts by then.

"Are you here to serve Xiao Yan?"

Although the little girl in front of me is a little young, the clothes she wears are very decent.

The little face is also very delicate and pleasing.

I think he should be serving in Xiao Yan's yard.

Ah!

His ninth brother, who had remnant soldiers in the mansion, was good at choosing maids for himself.

You have good taste. In a few years, when this little girl grows up, she will definitely be a great beauty...

As the elder brother, he had come all the way here with great difficulty, but his ninth brother didn't even treat him well.

Thinking of this, a hint of ambiguous meaning flashed in the third prince's eyes.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. This prince is not so unkind."

"Since you are a servant in this mansion, how about this? While I am here for one day, you will come to serve in my courtyard. I will not bother with you about what happened today. How do you do that?"

Zhou Lingling: “…”

How about your uncle!

However, Zhou Lingling's gaze flashed across the jade pendant on his waist.

She deliberately said arrogantly: "You said you are a prince? But not just anyone is qualified to serve me."

A faint light flashed in the third prince's eyes.

He took off the jade pendant from his waist and said, "Since you are in the palace, you naturally know that these two Japanese princes and the imperial envoy have come to the Northern Frontier. This dragon-patterned jade pendant was given by His Majesty. Isn't it enough to prove my identity?"

The Yuan Dynasty had extremely strict restrictions on things that were bright yellow and had dragon patterns.

Only the emperor, empress, and crown prince could wear bright yellow auspicious robes embroidered with dragon patterns, as well as wear accessories with dragon patterns.

Other princes and nobles could only wear dark gold clothes with python patterns embroidered on them.

Ornaments with dragon patterns cannot be worn unless granted by the emperor.

But Zhou Lingling deliberately stared at the jade pendant, muttering, "Who knows if it's real or fake..."

The third prince: "..."

His patience was about to run out, so he directly threw the jade pendant in front of Zhou Lingling.

"Then you must take a closer look! Is this dragon-patterned jade pendant of mine genuine?"

"Don't continue yet!"

Zhou Lingling held the palm-sized jade pendant with dragon pattern in her hands with an innocent look on her face, looking at it seriously.

"So this is the dragon pattern..."

The third prince snorted coldly, what an ignorant little girl!

Fuguier: "Master! It feels so comfortable~"

Fuguier sighed, as if he had taken a breath of fairy air.

"You can return it to him, Master~"

Zhou Lingling was surprised, but she returned the jade pendant.

"Even if you are the Third Prince, I am not a maid in the General's Mansion!"

"You may not look good, but you have beautiful thoughts. Only a fool would do the job of serving others! So~"

"Bye, Your Highness the Third Prince~"

Before the Third Prince could recover from his shock, Zhou Lingling turned around and ran along the path she had already chosen.

Afraid of being caught up by the Third Prince's men, she even used her already somewhat effective lightness skills.

In the distance, she could still hear the Third Prince's furious voice.

"What dares to fool this prince!"

"It's best not to let this prince catch you, otherwise I will break your legs..."

"What are you still doing here, you idiot? Go find Qizhu!"

Zhou Lingling burst into laughter.

The third prince, huh, really thinks he is that important.

Auntie is busy!

I'm still here to serve you. The keys are two dollars each. Do you want a pair?

It seems that I can’t come to the general’s mansion recently, for fear of being caught by that person.

These princes and nobles all like to keep secret guards, otherwise they won’t be able to defeat one if he suddenly appears out of nowhere.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lingling ran away even faster.

A certain guard from the real General's Mansion was taking a nap on a tree branch in a courtyard when a gust of wind blew past him...

What Zhou Lingling didn't know was that the "three-legged cat" lightness skills she learned from Fugui'er's secret book were already very rare in the world today.

Her speed was too fast and attracted the attention of the palace guards.

"Who is being so presumptuous in the General's Mansion?"

Passing by a courtyard,

Two teams of palace soldiers surrounded them and stopped the man.

When they saw that it was Miss Zhou, they were all surprised and put down their swords and guns.

"Miss Zhou? Why are you here?"

The big kitchen was on the west side. Zhou Lingling had just turned left along the main road in the front yard. She was about to reach the big kitchen, but unexpectedly she met the third prince coming from the west wing halfway.

He was so panicked that he had already run past the kitchen and reached the warehouse at the back.

The warehouse is an important place in the general's mansion. All year round, there are at least two teams of soldiers patrolling day and night.

Seeing that the two captains were familiar faces, Zhou Lingling panted, covered her stomach, and found a flower bed to sit down.

I ran too fast and got a belly full of wind.

"Don't mention it. I just went to the kitchen to ask Aunt Sun for some buns, but I ran into a psychopath on the way and he insisted that I become his maid!"

"I haven't been here since then. I just ran and ended up here."

The two captains of the palace guards who were about to continue patrolling looked at each other, told their men to continue, but stayed behind.

"Do we still have such talents in our mansion?"

Miss Zhou has been in and out of the general's mansion quite often in the past few months. The general and the military advisor have even specifically instructed that Miss Zhou can move freely in the mansion.

"That man is quite brave..." said a captain of the palace guards.

None of their generals could say this.

In their eyes, Miss Zhou was like their general's biological sister, a young lady.

Who has the nerve to let her serve as a maid?

The other one, who was calmer in temperament, started thinking.

"Miss Zhou, you're not talking about the one who lives in the west wing, are you?"

"The one from the west wing?"

Zhou Lingling pretended not to know: "Who is it?"

The captain of the palace guards lowered his voice and said, "You haven't been at home these past few days. I didn't know that the court sent an imperial envoy, the Third Prince, to summon our general back to the capital."

"The border is in chaos right now. Why are they causing trouble?"

It has been more than ten years, and we have not seen their general return to Beijing.

Now I remember it.

The northern border has been through such a difficult time in recent years, but now we have water and food, and we finally see hope.

Their general doesn't want to return to Beijing!

"Oh my god! Could that psychopath just now really be the Third Prince?"

Zhou Lingling covered her mouth and laughed secretly, but her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, full of surprise.

"Is it possible that I have offended the Third Prince? I'm not going to cause any trouble for the General, am I?"

The two captains of the palace guards curled their lips together.

One of them said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Zhou. If you keep going along this road at the same speed as before, you will reach the military advisor's courtyard in half an incense stick. The military advisor won't let those people come to the front yard."

Another said, "Yes! If you are really worried, Miss Zhou, you can stay in the mountains for a few more days and come back after they leave."

This is their general's fiefdom!

Who cares if he is the emperor or the prince? Can they allow outsiders to bully their own people in their general's mansion?

The suggestions of the two enthusiastic brothers coincided with Zhou Lingling's plan.

She thanked the two men sincerely and ran away quickly.

Half an hour was almost up, she didn't even get to eat her buns, and she almost ended up working as a maid!

unlucky!

"Oh, by the way, Fugui'er, what's the trick with that jade pendant just now?"

While running just now, Fuguier didn't say a word.

When it opened its mouth, it burped a little.

Zhou Lingling: “…”

"Master, I seem to have recovered a little bit..."
