With Ming Xi's agreement, Xu Jinbei's mood instantly brightened. Thinking of Bai Luo Mountain, he felt that he should bid farewell first so that it wouldn't be too hasty when he got ashore.
Not long after he left, Lei Bingfu appeared. She didn't bring any other maids and came to the deck alone.
"Rou 'er, Young Master Ming Xi?" Lei Bingfu's facial features were very delicate and sweet. She wasn't the aggressive and dazzling type. When she spoke, her eyes curved and she looked very cute.
However, Ming Xi knew that Lei Bingfu wasn't as naive and ignorant as she looked.
"Eh, it smells so good." Rou 'er's delicate nose twitched as she looked at the food box in Lei Bingfu's hands.
Lei Bingfu smiled and said, "These are some dried fish that I made myself. They're all made from fresh fish. Take it, you can have it as a snack on the way."
"Thank you." Rou 'er accepted it without hesitation and smiled sweetly at Lei Bingfu.
Ming Xi looked at Lei Bingfu indifferently. He didn't really understand this girl. From her way of doing things, she should be a person with deep and complicated thoughts. However, the way she acted revealed a sense of openness and carefreeness.
"Do you need something?" Ming Xi looked at her coldly. He had an indescribable feeling towards this Lei Bingfu who was about to become a beauty. It wasn't dislike or wariness, but he felt that she was a complicated person.
"There's nothing important. I just want to talk with you guys. Is that alright?" Lei Bingfu said with a smile. She had been able to become a favored concubine in the past, and all the princes and princesses in the palace had been coaxed by her. She had always had good luck with children. As long as she was willing to put in the effort, the children in front of her would be no problem.
However, she felt that this Mo Mingxi was more difficult to deal with. After all, he was the son of Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao and was much smarter than the average child.
Fire Phoenix glanced at her. "I don't think we have anything to say to you."
Lei Bingfu looked at Ming Xi and smiled. "You already knew that I disguised myself as a maid and asked my mother for me. Do you think that you like me a lot?"
"Who likes you?" Fire Phoenix rolled her eyes. "Ming Xi wants you to serve Rou 'er."
"You're traveling alone, and you don't even have a guard by your side, let alone a maid. It's obvious that you don't like having others following you. Since you're willing to make an exception for me, doesn't that mean you like me?" Lei Bingfu waved her hand and asked seriously.
Ming Xi looked at her indifferently, "So, you're willing to be our maid?"
"Of course not." Lei Bingfu smiled mischievously. "Although you are of noble status, I have no place by your side. My goal is to enter the palace as a beauty."
"You still know that I'm of noble status?" Ming Xi smiled faintly. He had not expected Lei Bingfu to be so honest, actually directly saying that her goal was to enter the palace.
Lei Bingfu's eyes shimmered as she smiled faintly. She lowered her head to look at the exquisite and handsome Ming Xi. "How many people in this world dare to call themselves the same as the original Imperial Highness, Ming Xi? And how many people can make Master Xu and Lord Bai treat them with such respect? Besides you, there is no one else."
"Oh, since you're so clear, aren't you afraid that I won't let you achieve your goal?" Ming Xi lightly asked.
"I'm afraid." Lei Bingfu nodded. "Otherwise, why would I be here trying to curry favor with you?"
Ming Xi did not get angry. Instead, he laughed. He really did not see how Lei Bingfu was trying to curry favor with him. "Sending a few dried fish is enough to curry favor. Don't tell me you want me to help you enter the palace?"
"Didn't you appear at the banquet today because you wanted to see me?" Lei Bingfu casually sat down on the ground. "Yesterday, those pirates were hired to kill me. I'm sure you've heard the reason. It's because when I was young, a stinky monk gave me two prophecies. It was originally a happy matter, but it was exaggerated. Coincidentally, I'm entering the palace for the concubines this time, which makes some people feel that I'm an eyesore. They think that if they get rid of me, they can live in the palace without worries."
"Do you know who wants to get rid of you?" Ming Xi asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I don't know. I'm naturally beautiful, and there are many who are jealous of me. Who knows what kind of people are using filthy methods to frame me behind my back. Hmph, don't let me know in the future. I definitely won't let them off." Lei Bingfu's words were so lively that it was impossible to dislike them.
Hearing this, Ming Xi wanted to laugh. "You're quite confident in yourself."
"If a person doesn't even have confidence in themselves, then how lowly is their life." Lei Bingfu proudly raised her head. She was never someone who would easily admit defeat. As long as she set a goal, she would eventually achieve it.
"Then you've come to find me today because you want me to not hinder you?" Ming Xi lightly asked.
Lei Bingfu looked seriously at this delicate child. "Will you? To tell the truth, I'm not a good person. I do things based on my own methods. In the future, when I enter the palace, I will definitely protect myself like this. Young master Ming Xi, why don't you help me? In the future, I will definitely repay you. "
"You want me to help you?" Ming Xi acted as if he had heard a joke. This Lei Bingfu really dared to open her mouth.
"Princess Ming Yu is still living in the palace. Two years ago, the emperor said that Princess Ming Yu is the only heir to the throne. In the future, when Xiu Nu enters the palace, Her Highness the Princess's situation will definitely be worrying. I can help her." Lei Bingfu had spent her entire life in the palace. How could she not see where Ming Xi's previous wariness towards her came from?
It was none other than for her little sister.
"What you say makes sense. However, what's the difference between you and other people? If you enter the palace, don't you want to have your own child? " Ming Xi lightly asked. He did not care for Murong Ke's position, but Ming Yu was different from him. Ming Yu was destined to live in the capital, and that originally belonged to her.
"I want to." Lei Bingfu said. In her previous life, she did not have her own child until her death. Instead, she helped someone else's child become the emperor. She had been the empress dowager for a few years and knew that the emperor did not have many days of comfort in the palace. If she had her own child in this life, she would definitely not let him have such a hard time. "Don't worry, I know my own limits."
Ming Xi lightly said, "I still don't trust you."
"Then what do you want?" Lei Bingfu was not angry. She did not need Ming Xi's help, she just wanted to make things easier for him.
Lei Bingfu was right about one thing. With Xiu Nu entering the palace, Ming Yu's life in the palace would definitely not be so peaceful and simple. He naturally believed that Sixth Uncle could protect Ming Yu, but Ming Yu could not be protected until she grew up without knowing anything. She needed to learn how to protect herself.
The girl in front of him was very smart. She knew how to live a better life in the palace.
"We can talk about conditions." Ming Xi's eyes flashed with a faint light.
"What conditions?" Lei Bingfu's eyebrows twitched. She was clearly talking to a child, but she felt like she was bargaining with a cunning fox.
