Chapter 158
Under such circumstances, Xia Yechen had absolutely no reason to refuse.
He knew this matter well. Concubine Shu was not a person who would listen to discussions. In her opinion, bringing Zhou Xiaoyuan into the palace was probably the limit, so Xia Yechen, the palace maid, might have to accept them.
Helpless, Xia Yechen couldn't think of a better way to deal with this matter for the time being, so he could only accept a few people.
Sure enough, the moment he nodded, Concubine Shu returned to her previous gentle smile.
She said softly, "Yechen is such a good boy, eat more."
But Xia Yechen was not as happy as she imagined. Instead, she was a little upset. After breakfast, he stood up and left directly. Concubine Shu sat in her seat and watched him without moving. After a while, she slowly spoke: "Then Yechen must promise his mother and concubine to treat them well."
Xia Yechen stiffened and did not answer, and Concubine Shu did not press forward step by step. She just looked back at the maids.
Speaking in front of Xia Yechen, "As promised, you must take good care of His Highness and Miss Zhou. If there is any neglect, I will only ask you if I know about it."
The palace maids naturally agreed. It stands to reason that Xia Yechen should feel a little reassured by Concubine Shu's statement at this time.
But looking at the palace maids who looked obviously restless, Xia Yechen only felt tired. Without saying a word, he left with Concubine Shu's acquiescence. When he left the palace gate, Songling who was waiting saw Xia Yechen. The people behind him were also surprised.
He couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, these are... Miss Zhou will be angry."
These words came out of his mouth, and Song Ling regretted them as soon as he finished saying them. Do he need him to remind him about his master?
Sure enough, what he said
As soon as the voice fell, Xia Yechen's face turned cold and he didn't answer Song Ling's question at all. He only said: "Where is the carriage going back home? Have you been waiting outside for so long and you are in a daze?"
There was a hint of anger in his words, and Song Ling shrank his neck, not daring to say anything more.
All the way back to the palace, Xia Yechen frowned again when he saw the maids following behind him. Apparently he didn't know how to deal with these people.
However, Song Ling didn't even look at them. When Xia Yechen noticed these maids, he immediately took a step forward.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, how will these people be arranged?"
Xia Yechen choked on what he asked and glared directly at him, his expression clearly saying "Come and ask me about such a trivial matter."
It was not that Songling couldn't see what his master meant, but after he had just found out that this was someone from Concubine Shu's palace, he couldn't help but be a little more cautious, and then he hurried over to ask Xia Yechen what he wanted. How to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, this was a hornet's nest. Songling had to bite the bullet and said in a low voice: "This... arrangement is easy, but what if the empress finds out..."
"They've already entered the house, how could she know?"
Xia Yechen's tone was extremely cold, and he glanced at Song Ling with a profound look in his eyes, as if he was hinting at something.
Song Ling saw it clearly, and he understood it after a moment's thought. He nodded and said in a rescued manner: "I understand, I will take them away now."
After hearing this, Xia Yechen's eyes showed some satisfaction. He snorted coldly and left with a puff of sleeves.
Even if they brought those palace maids here, they were obviously not qualified to ride with Xia Yechen.
Therefore, until the carriage stopped, those people still huddled behind and stared at them.
When they saw Xia Yechen was about to leave, they became anxious and hurriedly wanted to follow him, but Song Ling stopped him with a quick stride.
He frowned and glanced at them: "Have you never learned the rules? Who allowed you to walk around here?"
The girls were shocked and opened their eyes in disbelief.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Song Ling ignored them and asked people to follow him, but the direction was completely opposite to Xia Yechen - and it must be exactly the same. What about the place where the master lives and the place where the servants live? Maybe it will be the same?
It was impossible for the palace ladies not to know what Song Ling knew. They all looked at each other with dissatisfaction immediately in their eyes.
A brave man stood up directly and said unconvinced: "You are so bold! Do you know who we are? How dare you stop us?"
It was probably a big joke to say that Song Ling was a servant. He narrowed his eyes. He didn't like these people very much.
For a moment, I didn’t like it even more, so I started to fight back.
"I am a servant, so why are you not? After all, I am a high-ranking bodyguard and a steward of the palace. Please tell me, what are your identities?"
When Song Ling asked, the maids became proud, thinking that Song Ling was really asking, so they assumed a arrogant attitude.
He said condescendingly: "We are the concubine Shu who has been rewarded to serve the prince. Who do you think we are?"
"Reward." Song Ling repeated the word and then sneered.
"It's just an object, but you really think of yourself
Come on, if you don't abide by the rules of the palace, then don't blame me for being rude. "
Song Ling's harsh tone really frightened the few people for a while. They looked at each other, somewhat reluctantly, but did not dare to confront Song Ling head-on. Some even looked at Xia Yechen's departure for help. direction.
But all the people on the other end had already left, and there were no traces of them. How could there be anything left? Song Ling sneered more and more in his heart and directly issued an ultimatum.
"I'll count to three. Either follow me or stand here until you don't want to. Do you understand?"
After saying that, Song Ling turned around directly.
The palace maids wanted to take this opportunity to run into the palace, but in the next moment, Songling, who had already expected it, directly arranged the escort team from the palace. They held spears in their hands and stared at them sinisterly.
Those palace maids were ambitious, but they did not dare to risk their lives on glory and wealth. After being entangled, they reluctantly compromised.
Song Ling didn't even turn around and guessed what the group of people wanted to do.
There is no doubt that there are more than one or two people who want to marry their prince, but this is the only one who can be so confident. After all, it is conceivable that Concubine Shu is also the biological mother of His Highness.
The only confusing thing is that although they are clearly the biological mother and son, Concubine Shu is unwilling to side with the prince, and instead joins forces with the Su family to put pressure.
Thinking of this, Song Ling couldn't help but feel a little sad for his prince.
But this is also a digression. Songling doesn't show so many things on the surface. Being able to lead the way is considered a special emphasis. As for other things, let's not talk about it.
Those palace maids originally thought that the palace would give Concubine Shu
Mother was trying to hold back her anger, but Song Ling didn't mean it.
He took these people directly into the servants' room.
