Chapter 317 Meeting the Emperor Part 2

Under the expectant eyes of Eunuch Ding and the Emperor, Ling Jingshu raised her head, her clear and bright beautiful eyes full of pleading: "I know that I am dull and not suitable for serving in the palace. I entered the palace before because of the favor of the Empress, and I could not and dared not refuse. Now the Empress no longer needs me. I beg the Emperor to allow me to leave the palace and return to the Ling family."

The Emperor: "..."

Eunuch Ding stared at Ling Jingshu with a look of disappointment.

What a fool without eyes! The Emperor's meaning has been revealed so clearly, but he didn't understand it!

At this time, how can you say such a depressing thing! Isn't this sincerely annoying the Emperor?

Of course, there are some things that the Emperor must never say. Otherwise, it will damage the face and dignity of the Emperor. As the Emperor's confidant, Eunuch Ding stood up without hesitation at the critical moment.

"Nonsense!" Eunuch Ding frowned and scolded: "No matter what the reason was, since you entered the palace, you are a member of the palace. What kind of place is this palace? How can you come and go as you please? Hurry up and apologize to the emperor!"

The emperor did not get angry, nor did he speak, still looking at Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu's heart sank again.

This emperor who still has lustful hearts really fell in love with her! She deliberately pretended to be stupid and said something to provoke him, but he actually endured it.

If she really let go, the only thing waiting for her would be the road to the dragon bed!

Be calm! You must be calm!

Ling Jingshu forced herself to suppress the surging anger in her heart, squeezed out a panicked look, and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy: "I was just talking nonsense! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please show me mercy!"

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth with a bit of reserve: "Forget it! Considering that you are young and impulsive, I will forgive you this time. You also heard what Eunuch Ding said just now. This palace is the most noble place in the world, and the rules are the most stringent. Since you have entered the palace, you must abide by the rules of the palace. Don't always think about leaving the palace."

"No matter how good the Ling family is, how can it compare to the palace?"

The last sentence, the tone is particularly gentle.

Ling Jingshu gritted her teeth in her heart.

This old man with a heart full of **** is simply disgusting!

What is the most stringent rule, what is not to think about leaving the palace. If he is really willing to let her out of the palace, it is just a matter of words. No matter how big the rules are, they are not bigger than the emperor.

In the end, he has no intention of letting her go!

"Your Majesty is right." Ling Jingshu lowered her head slightly, avoiding the emperor's gaze: "It is my honor to stay in the palace. I have committed a serious mistake and I am ashamed to appear in front of your Majesty. Please send me to the laundry room or the kitchen to do some heavy work. I am willing and have no complaints!"

The emperor frowned in displeasure.

Eunuch Ding's mouth twitched a few times.

Is Ling Jingshu really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? The emperor has put down his airs and personally given her a step. If she doesn't climb up the step, why would she do any heavy work? It's so stupid!

"Lady Ling, you misunderstood the emperor's intention."

Eunuch Ding forced a smile and coaxed her in a pleasant manner: "Before you entered the palace, you were a rich girl from the boudoir. You were raised in luxury since childhood. You are good at elegant things such as playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are also good at growing peonies. It would be a great humiliation to punish you to do heavy work."

After saying that, he bowed to the emperor and smiled: "Your Majesty, I dare to suggest that Lady Ling stay in the Purple Palace to serve. Although there are many palace maids around the emperor, there is no one as talented and intelligent as Lady Ling. She doesn't have to do any heavy work on weekdays. It's enough to accompany the emperor to talk and relieve his boredom."

This statement was exactly what the emperor wanted.

The emperor's brows relaxed and he nodded with a smile: "What you said makes sense, let's do as you say!" Eunuch Ding still knew his mind best!

Eunuch Ding suppressed his complacency and responded respectfully. He looked at Ling Jingshu again with a smile on his face: "Lady Ling, why don't you kneel down to thank God for His grace!"

When the time came, Ling Jingshu's surging anger calmed down instead.

If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided!

The emperor has already spoken, and she can't dodge and refuse anymore. If she wants to stay, then stay! Act according to circumstances and be careful in everything. At worst, she still has one last "amulet".

Even if he is the emperor, he can't force a woman who suffers from a "strange disease" and can't get close to any man.

...

Ling Jingshu took a deep breath and knelt down to thank him.

She has a slender figure, and her posture is still graceful when she kneels down.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the beautiful and tender girl like a flower, and was in a good mood: "Okay, no need to kneel anymore. Eunuch Ding, you should give orders now, and have someone prepare a place for Ling to live."

Eunuch Ding responded with great enthusiasm: "I obey your order."

The emperor was quite sympathetic and said: "Ling's rank remains unchanged, and a few palace maids are assigned to Ling. The flowers and plants in the Purple Palace are also given to her to take care of. She has been in the sky prison for two months before, so she should rest for five or six days before going on duty."

Eunuch Ding smiled and agreed one by one. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

The emperor really looked at Ling Jingshu differently. This honor and favor was something that an ordinary female official could not afford.

Eunuch Ding led Ling Jingshu out of the Purple Palace, and his smile was much more friendly and easy-going than before: "Congratulations to Ling, you are favored by the emperor and stay in the Purple Palace to work, but it is a good thing that others envy but can't envy."

Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart and responded humbly: "I'm new here and I don't know anything about the rules in Zichen Palace. Please take care of me and give me some guidance, Eunuch Ding."

"Taking care and giving guidance is out of the question." Eunuch Ding smiled like a chrysanthemum: "If there's anything Miss Ling doesn't understand, just ask me."

After a pause, he hinted pointedly: "In the final analysis, we are all slaves serving the master. There is only one thing we have to do, which is to serve the master with all our heart and make the master happy. This is the nature of our slaves. separated."

"With Lady Officer Ling's intelligence, if she can serve the Queen well in the Jiaofang Palace, she will definitely be able to serve the Emperor well in the Zichen Palace."

Ling Jingshu resisted the urge to slap that ambiguous smiling face and twitched the corners of her lips.

In Eunuch Ding's view, Ling Jingshu had understood his hint and felt quite happy.

At this moment, a tall and slender young man walked towards him.

Eunuch Ding raised his head and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Wei, you are finally here."

Wei Yan smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, then his eyes passed over Eunuch Ding and landed on the girl behind Eunuch Ding.
