Chapter 2330 Palace Maid
It was Lei Jieting's maid who shouted for help. When she saw someone approaching, she shouted louder, "Help, our second girl has been bitten by a snake."
Lei Bingfu heard this from a distance. She frowned and sneered. This was the first time she heard about the snake in Lei's garden.
The secret guards quickly "rescued" Lei Jieting and Aunt Guo.
Seeing Lei Jieting's bright outfit today, Lei Bingfu almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
"A civilian woman has met the emperor." "A civilian woman has met the emperor and thanked him for his life-saving grace."
A life-saving grace? Lei Bingfu raised her eyebrows and looked at the mother and daughter with an indifferent expression.
Murong Ke lowered his eyes and looked at Lei Bingfu.
"..." The corners of Lei Bingfu's eyes twitched slightly. He probably didn't want to pay attention to the mother and daughter at all.
She didn't want to care either, it was so embarrassing! She felt embarrassed when she appeared next to Murong Ke in such an unflattering way.
"Aunt Guo, Sister Ting, why are you here?" Lei Bingfu asked calmly.
Murong Ke heard her speak and already walked to the pavilion next to her.
"Empress Hui." Lei Jieting glanced at Murong Ke. Today was the first time she saw the current emperor. She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the emperor was so young and handsome. He was the one she had always dreamed of marrying. man.
Lei Jieting was even more looking forward to entering the palace.
Aunt Guo raised her eyes and glanced at Lei Bingfu, bowed her head and saluted.
"Concubine Hui, we were walking in the garden, but we didn't expect there would be a snake..." Aunt Guo whispered, hoping that the emperor would notice her daughter.
"It's the daughter's fault that frightened the emperor and the empress." Lei Jieting said softly.
Lei Bingfu looked at them with a smile and asked the two secret guards next to her, "Did you catch the snake? What kind of snake was it that scared Aunt Guo and Sister Ting like this?"
"Mother, the snake is here." One of the secret guards held a snake less than half a foot long in his hand. At first glance, it was not a venomous snake, and it should not appear in the garden.
The snake had been killed, and Aunt Guo feigned fear and avoided it.
"So it's this diamondback snake." Lei Bingfu picked up the little snake with a smile, "I actually scared you so much that the maid can only make a fuss and scream."
"Mother, we don't know what kind of snake this is. We thought it was a venomous snake, so we lost our composure." Lei Jieting said in a low voice.
Lei Bingfu looked at Lei Jieting with cold eyes, "Fortunately it was not a venomous snake. If it was really a venomous snake, the Lei family would have been killed by this snake."
"Your Majesty's words are too alarmist." Aunt Guo couldn't help but said, fearing that the Emperor would misunderstand them.
"Alarmist?" Lei Bingfu smiled faintly, "Sister Ting has been a housekeeper for some time. How does she teach her servants on weekdays? Could it be that there is no mother-in-law and maid sweeping the garden, so she actually let the snake hide here? You guys I don’t know that the emperor occasionally walks in the garden. If someone wants to murder the emperor, this snake is not as simple as a snake."
Lei Jieting's face turned pale, "There are usually no snakes here."
"Oh, what a coincidence. There are no snakes on weekdays, but when I and the Emperor came for a walk, snakes appeared?" Lei Bingfu looked at Lei Jieting with a half-smile, "How much of a coincidence is this?"
"No...it's not like that." Aunt Guo finally realized that something was wrong and cried out anxiously, "We don't know why this snake appeared. We definitely didn't intend to kill the emperor, but Sister Ting also didn't do it this time. I had to follow him into the palace, so I couldn't help but want to come to pay my respects to the emperor first."
Lei Bingfu snorted, "I almost forgot that Sister Ting is going to follow me into the palace this time."
"Yes, yes, this snake really has nothing to do with us." Aunt Guo said anxiously.
"Aunt!" Lei Jieting frowned and took Aunt Guo's hand, signaling her not to say anything. Lei Bingfu was a very insidious person. She didn't know what kind of hole she had dug for them to jump into. They talked too much. It will harm yourself.
Aunt Guo was a little nervous. After all, she was a woman who had never seen much of the world. She looked up at Lei Bingfu and felt that the legitimate daughter of the Lei family was becoming more and more majestic. She did not dare to provoke this eldest lady before, but now She was already the empress of the palace, and her status was so transcendent that even the master had to bow to her when he saw her.
Lei Bingfu said with a smile, "The Emperor has agreed to let Sister Ting enter the palace with her."
"Really?" Aunt Guo's face was filled with joy. She turned to look at Murong Ke, knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Can he actually enter the palace? Lei Jieting was surprised. She thought Lei Bingfu would trick her into not going.
Murong Ke kept looking at Lei Bingfu in the pavilion, seeing how she was playing tricks on two ignorant people.
He certainly didn't believe that snakes would appear in Lei's garden for no reason.
"Sister Ting, go back and have some sweet words with Aunt Guo. When you get to the palace in the future, I will take care of you. However, being a maid in the palace is different from being at home. You have to get used to it." Lei Bingfu said with a smile. .
"What did you say?" Aunt Guo's expression changed, "Who said Sister Ting is going to enter the palace and become a maid?"
Lei Bingfu raised her eyebrows, "Isn't that what father said? Let Sister Ting enter the palace to serve me, not to be a palace maid, then what should I be? As an aunt, she is still a little immature."
Aunt Guo couldn't sink anymore. How could she let her daughter enter the palace and become a maid?
"Sister Ting is the second daughter of the Lei family, how can she be a palace maid?" Aunt Guo shouted, "Lei Bingfu, you must have done this on purpose."
"Presumptuous!" Lei Bingfu's eyes turned cold, "I have made it clear to my father that the ones who come into the palace to serve people are palace maids, otherwise what do you think they are?"
Of course, entering the palace as a concubine! Aunt Guo was about to blurt out when Lei Jieting grabbed her hand, "No matter what you do in the palace, being able to serve the emperor and the empress is a blessing for a common woman."
Lei Jieting can keep her composure, isn't she just a palace maid? As long as she had a chance to get close to the emperor, it didn't matter if she had to suffer a little in the palace in the first place.
"Sister Ting is still sensible." Lei Bingfu said with a smile.
"You... you have been jealous of your sister since you were a child. How could your father mean this? You have no good intentions!" Aunt Guo shouted.
Lei Bingfu listened to Aunt Guo's scolding with a smile. After she finished scolding, she said lazily, "The Guo family has no status before the emperor. Go back and kneel down to think about your mistakes."
"Your Majesty..." Lei Jieting finally couldn't calm down anymore, "My aunt is just too excited."
"Then go back and think about how to stop getting excited." Lei Bingfu said coldly.
Aunt Guo looked at Murong Ke for help, "Your Majesty, please make the decision..."
"Are you done?" Murong Ke looked at Lei Bingfu with deep eyes.
"My concubine has finished speaking." Lei Bingfu said.
Murong Ke stood up slowly, "Then go back, noisy."
Lei Bingfu felt funny and touched in her heart that he actually allowed her to seduce Aunt Guo and her daughter, and he was sitting here, making it clear that he wanted the Lei family to know that he absolutely supported her.
Is that what he meant? She must have guessed right.
