The one calling for help was Lei Jieting's maid. When she saw someone coming, she shouted even louder, "Help, our Second Young Lady has been bitten by a snake."
Lei Bingfu heard this from afar. She frowned and sneered. It was the first time she heard that there was a snake in the Lei Family's garden.
The secret guards quickly 'rescued' Lei Jieting and Concubine Guo.
Seeing Lei Jieting's bright dress today, Lei Bingfu almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
"This commoner greets Your Majesty." "This commoner greets Your Majesty. Thank you for saving my life."
Saving my life? Lei Bingfu raised her eyebrows and looked at the mother and daughter indifferently.
Murong Ke looked down at Lei Bingfu.
"…" The corner of Lei Bingfu's eyes twitched. He didn't want to talk to the mother and daughter at all.
She didn't want to talk to them either. It was too embarrassing! She felt that it was shameful for her to appear beside Murong Ke in such an underhanded way.
"Concubine Guo, Sister Ting, why are you here?" Lei Bingfu asked lightly.
When Murong Ke heard her speak, he had already walked to the pavilion nearby.
"Your Highness." Lei Jieting glanced at Murong Ke from the corner of her eyes. Today was the first time she had seen the current Emperor. She was slightly surprised. She did not expect the Emperor to be so young and handsome. He was the man she had always dreamed of marrying.
Lei Jieting was even more looking forward to entering the palace.
Concubine Guo looked up at Lei Bingfu and bowed with her head lowered.
"Your Highness, we were taking a walk in the garden. We didn't expect there to be a snake …" Concubine Guo whispered, hoping that the Emperor would notice her daughter.
"It's this commoner's fault for scaring Your Majesty and Your Highness," 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 could scare Concubine Guo and Sister Ting like this? "
"Your Highness, the snake is here." One of the secret guards held a snake less than half a foot long in his hand. It didn't look poisonous and shouldn't have appeared in the garden.
The snake had been killed. Concubine Guo pretended to be afraid and dodged.
"So it's this little snake." Lei Bingfu picked up the little snake with a smile. "I can't believe it scared you so much that the maid only knows how to make a fuss."
"Your Highness, we didn't know what kind of snake it was. We thought it was a poisonous snake, so we lost our composure," Lei Jieting said in a low voice.
Lei Bingfu stared coldly at Lei Jieting. "Luckily it's not a poisonous snake. If it was, the Lei family would have been killed by it."
Niangniang's words are too alarmist. Concubine Guo couldn't help but say, fearing that the emperor would misunderstand them.
"Alarmist talk?" Lei Bingfu smiled faintly. "Elder Sister Ting has been the housekeeper for some time. How does she teach the servants? Could it be that there are no old maids and maids to sweep the garden? You actually let the snake hide here? Don't you know that the Emperor occasionally goes to the garden for a walk? If someone wanted to harm the Emperor, this snake would not be as simple as a snake."
Lei Jieting's face paled. "There are usually no snakes here."
"Oh, then what a coincidence. There are usually no snakes, but when ben gong and the Emperor come for a walk, a snake appears?" Lei Bingfu looked at Lei Jieting with a faint smile. "How coincidental is this?"
"No … it's not like this." Concubine Guo finally heard that something was wrong. She anxiously cried out, "We also don't know why this snake appeared. We absolutely don't want to harm the Emperor. It's just that Elder Sister Ting also wants to enter the palace this time, so we couldn't help but want to greet the Emperor first."
Lei Bingfu made an oh sound. "I almost forgot, Elder Sister Ting also wants to enter the palace this time."
"That's right, that's right. This snake really has nothing to do with us." Concubine Guo said anxiously.
"Yiniang!" Lei Jieting frowned as she pulled on Concubine Guo's hand, indicating for her not to say anything. Lei Bingfu was very sinister. They didn't know what kind of pit she had dug for them to jump into. If they said too much, they would only harm themselves.
Concubine Guo was a little nervous. After all, she was a woman who had not seen much of the world. She raised her head to look at Lei Bingfu. She felt that this di daughter of the Lei Family was becoming more and more imposing. In the past, she didn't dare to provoke this young miss. Now that she was a concubine in the palace, her status was even higher. Even the master had to bow to her.
Lei Bingfu said with a smile, "The Emperor has already agreed to let Elder Sister Ting enter the palace with us."
"Really?" Concubine Guo's face lit up. She turned to look at Murong Ke and knelt down to kowtow. "Many thanks, Your Majesty. Many thanks, Your Majesty."
She could actually enter the palace? Lei Jieting was surprised. She had thought that Lei Bingfu would definitely do something to stop her from going.
Murong Ke had been watching Lei Bingfu from the pavilion the whole time. He wanted to see how she played with two ignorant people.
He naturally didn't believe that a snake would appear in the Lei Family's garden for no reason.
"Elder Sister Ting, go back and have a good talk with Concubine Guo. In the future, when you enter the palace, ben gong will take care of you. However, being a palace 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?" Concubine Guo's expression changed. "Who said that Elder Sister Ting is going to enter the palace to be a palace maid?"
Lei Bingfu raised her eyebrows. "Didn't father say so? To let Elder Sister Ting enter the palace to serve ben gong, if she's not going to be a palace maid, then what is she going to be? To be an aunt? She's still too young. "
Concubine Guo couldn't hold it in anymore. How could she let her daughter enter the palace to be a palace maid!
"Elder Sister Ting is the second young miss of the Lei Family. How can she be a palace maid!" Concubine Guo cried out. "Lei Bingfu, you must be doing this on purpose."
"Impudent!" Lei Bingfu's gaze turned cold. "Ben gong has already told father clearly. Those who enter the palace to serve are palace maids. What else do you think it is?"
Of course it's entering the palace to be a concubine! Just as Concubine Guo was about to blurt it out, Lei Jieting grabbed her hand. "No matter what she's going to be in the palace, it's this commoner's good fortune to be able to serve His Majesty and Her Highness."
Lei Jieting was able to keep her composure. Wasn't it just being a palace maid? As long as she had the opportunity to get close to His Majesty, it was nothing for her to suffer a little in the palace at the beginning.
"Elder Sister Ting is still the sensible one," Lei Bingfu said with a smile.
"You … You've been jealous of your younger sister since you were young. That's not what your father meant. You're up to no good!" Concubine Guo cried out.
Lei Bingfu smiled as she listened to Concubine Guo's scolding. When Concubine Guo finished, she said lazily, "Guo shi is being rude in front of His Majesty. Go back and kneel to reflect on your mistakes."
"Her Highness …" Lei Jieting finally couldn't hold it in anymore. "Concubine Guo is just too excited."
"Then go back and think about how to not be excited." Lei Bingfu said coldly.
Concubine Guo looked towards Murong Ke for help. "His Majesty, please make a decision …"
"Are you done?" Murong Ke's deep eyes looked towards Lei Bingfu.
"This concubine is done," Lei Bingfu said.
Murong Ke slowly stood up. "Then go back. Stop being so noisy."
Lei Bingfu felt that it was funny and touching. He actually allowed her to insult Concubine Guo and her daughter. Moreover, he was sitting right here. It was obvious that he wanted to let the Lei Family know that he absolutely supported her.
That was what he meant, right? She shouldn't have guessed wrong.
