The housekeeper shook the silver in her hand and spat at her back: "Little bitch, you want to climb up the social ladder? You have the ability, but I don't know if you have the luck to do it."

Xiangyu was so focused on planning her own affairs that she didn't hear the cursing from the housekeeper.

She stared with excitement, and her facial muscles twitched unnaturally because of excessive excitement.

Today the laundry bureau is going to deliver palace clothes to Mingyue Palace, and Xiangyu finally seized this opportunity.

Amire spoke for Xiangyu when she was punished by Wen Yuan. Xiangyu was sure that Princess Amire would definitely help her.

Even if I go to Mingyue Palace to be a maid, it is better than washing clothes in the laundry department every day.

What Xiangyu held in her hands was not palace clothes, but her future.

The laundry department is located in a remote area and it takes a long walk to get to the various palaces.

Xiangyu took a shortcut and happened to come to the vicinity of the rockery.

As I was walking hurriedly, I found two people standing and talking under the rockery.

The man was handsome and was the Prince of Ruiping, while the woman was wearing palace clothes and had her head lowered. She was a palace maid.

Xiangyu's eyes rolled and she immediately found a bush to hide under.

Her intuition was correct, and soon she saw Prince Ruiping handing an object to the palace maid.

This... a token of love?

Xiangyu bit her lips until they were almost bleeding. She was jealous and hateful, and wished she could replace that palace maid.

If Xiangyu's eyes could kill, Ji Xingyao, who was standing in a daze under the rockery, would have died several times already.

Judging from Ji Xingyao's clothing, Xiangyu guessed that she was a high-ranking maid in the palace. Xiangyu had entered the palace early and knew most of the high-ranking maids, but the face of the person in front of her was very unfamiliar.

After entering the palace, palace maids need to undergo multiple training and selection processes. No matter how good their qualifications are, they have to start as second-class palace maids. If they want to be promoted to first-class palace maids, it will take at least one or two years, and at most five, six, seven or eight years.

A light bulb went off in her head, and she thought of a possibility: could this person be the Ling'er chosen by the imperial concubine herself?

Ling'er, she had heard this name countless times in the laundry department.

The housekeeper loved to mention the imperial concubine's personal maid in her ear, intentionally or unintentionally, and her words were full of ridicule for Xiangyu.

In the past, Xiangyu relied on her status as a first-class palace maid and often acted arrogantly in front of lower-ranking palace maids, treating herself as half-master and ordering them around.

No flower lasts forever, and a tiger in trouble is bullied by dogs. Xiangyu makes a living under the care of the housekeeper, and can only be submissive and humble, not daring to say a word.

Unexpectedly, she suffered a lot in the laundry department. Not only did Ling'er replace her position, she also seduced the prince!

Xiangyu was so angry that her teeth were itching, and the fingers that were grabbing Gongyi unconsciously exerted force until the veins on the back of her hand bulged.

stab.

Suddenly there was a sound of clothes tearing.

Xiangyu looked down in panic and found that the precious cloth in her hand had been accidentally torn by her.

Her face turned pale, and she let go of her hands in panic, and her palace clothes fell to the ground.

It’s over.

This was the only thought in Xiangyu's mind.

She destroyed the palace clothes. If the nanny in charge investigated the matter, she might lose her head.

How to do how to do.

Fine beads of sweat climbed up Xiangyu's forehead, and her inner clothes were instantly soaked and stuck to her back.

In panic, Xiangyu suddenly caught sight of Ling'er not far ahead. She was holding the jade pendant in both hands, looking down at it, and walking out as she did so.

Xiangyu looked around anxiously. On weekdays, few people walked here, but now, there was no third person except the two of them.

Seeing that Ling'er was about to leave, Xiangyu hardened her heart, picked up the palace clothes on the ground in a messy manner, and ran towards Ling'er.

Ji Xingyao was not walking fast. She was looking down at the double-moon and ring-star jade pendant in her hand.

By the time she noticed the hurried footsteps behind her, she had already been knocked away by the person who came.

The jade pendant was thrown high up with great force, and then fell heavily on the bluestone.

Clang, the crisp sound of shattering broke the warmth of spring.

"!"

Ji Xingyao stretched out his hand desperately, but it was suspended in mid-air, catching only the flying jade fragments.
