As expected, the rosy news in Lingbo Palace spread quickly with lightning speed. Because the status of the palace maids and chamberlains was not high, everyone had no scruples about spreading rumors. The more it spreads, the more detailed it becomes, and the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes.

Later, it was spread that the chamberlain slept in the palace maid's room every night.

Think about it and know that this is impossible.

The rules in the palace are strict, and most chambermaids and maids live in the same room. No matter how brave the chamberlain was, he wouldn't be able to go to the palace maid's room every day, let alone stay overnight every night.

It just so happens that these rumors are spread by noses and eyes, and every time they are about to die down, more explosive news will be exposed. He soon became the laughing stock of everyone.

Wei Jieyu also came out of the limelight greatly.

The maids and chambermaids did not dare to make fun of him. How could the concubines in the palace let go of such a good opportunity?

One by one, they would come to Lingbo Palace and chat. They would pretend to be careless and say a few words: "Sister Wei, a few days ago, I heard something new. It was said that the palace maids in Lingbo Palace and Waiter... Hey, let’s not talk about those dirty things.”

A trace of discomfort flashed in Wei Jieyu's eyes, and she said with a normal expression: "Why did such a trivial matter reach your ears?"

Beauty Wang covered her mouth and gave a sweet smile: "It's not like those palace maids who like to talk nonsense when they have nothing to do all day long. I also overheard it. I asked a few questions at the time, but I still couldn't believe it. Wei My sister has always respected rules, how could she allow people around her to cause such scandals? "

"Sister Wang, it's wrong of you to say this. Sister Wei must have been kept in the dark, otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a fuss."

"Yes, the news was so widespread that Sister Wei's face didn't look very bright."

Although Wei Jieyu is favored on weekdays, she behaves very low-key and cautiously. It's rare to catch such a good opportunity to taunt someone with a gun and a stick. Of course, the concubines will not be polite.

The concubines were talking to each other, but Wei Jieyu couldn't chase them away, so she could only keep her company with a stiff smile.

Soon, even Queen Xu heard about it.

When Wei Jieyu came to pay her respects, Empress Xu mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally: "Wei Jieyu, you have to take care of the people around you. To avoid making a joke and making everyone upset when they look at it."

Wei Jieyu looked ashamed: "The Queen taught me a lesson. It was because I was lax in discipline and made a joke, which made the Queen worry about it."

Empress Xu twitched the corners of her lips with a half-smile: "I don't have anything to worry about, but you should pay more attention to it in the future."

Wei Jieyu responded submissively.

…

After saying goodbye, Wei Jieyu got up and left the Jiaofang Hall.

Thinking of the chaos these past few days, Wei Jieyu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This rumor is really harmful! These days, wherever I go, I am the center of attention. It’s okay not to mention this taste!

"Empress Jieyu!"

A familiar voice sounded not far away.

Wei Jieyu came back to her senses and looked over carefully. When he saw the face of the visitor clearly, the corners of his lips suddenly raised: "Ah Shu, why are you here?"

It has been several months since Ling Jingshu entered the palace. Wei Jieyu often went in and out of Jiaofang Hall, and she often met Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile, "I'm here specially to wait for you today."

Wei Jieyu said calmly: "You are waiting for me. Is there something important?"

"It's nothing important." Ling Jingshu said with a smile: "Since I entered the palace, I have never visited your Majesty. I wonder if your Majesty is free in the afternoon?"

Wei Jieyu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you come to Lingbo Hall at any time."

Ling Jingshu thanked her hurriedly.

After Wei Jieyu returned to Lingbo Palace, she couldn't help but think about it secretly. Why did Ling Jingshu suddenly come to see her? Could it be that she has noticed something?

No, it's impossible! This matter is so secret, there is no way she would know about it.

…

After noon.

Wei Jieyu took a nap for a while, then got up and freshened up briefly.

Xinyun came in with a smile and reported: "Empress Jieyu, Lady Officer Ling has come to ask for an audience. Do you want to take her to the side hall?"

"No need to go to such trouble, just lead her directly to the palace." Wei Jieyu said without thinking.

Xinyun responded and quickly led Ling Jingshu in.

Ling Jingshu was still wearing a light green palace dress, with a pretty face, smiling and saluting.

Wei Jieyu smiled and waved: "Okay, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to pay attention to these false etiquette. Come sit and talk! Don't be a slave at every turn, just like before."

Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, without being shy, and responded with a smile: "Then I will save money today."

With that said, he walked to Wei Jieyu and sat down.

Wei Jieyu asked kindly: "You have been working as an errand in Jiaofang Palace these days, and you haven't met anyone who made things difficult for you, right?"

"There is always trouble in the open, but there are always obstacles in the dark." Ling Jingshu didn't hide it and told the truth: "However, I can still handle it, and you don't have to worry about me."

Wei Jieyu smiled and said: "You have always been smart and smart, and you have no problem dealing with several female officials. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can come to me in private."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully and changed her tone: "Actually, I came here today specifically to say thank you."

Wei Jieyu's heart moved: "It's so good, why do you suddenly want to thank me?"

Ling Jingshu took a deep look at Wei Jieyu: "If the empress hadn't deliberately arranged this to attract everyone's attention, I'm afraid there would still be rumors about His Highness the Grandson and me in the palace."

Wei Jieyu: "..."

Wei Jieyu looked at Ling Jingshu in shock and blurted out: "How did you know?"

I regretted it as soon as I said it.

When she said this, she undoubtedly admitted it.

Sure enough, Ling Jingshu sighed softly: "I was guessing at first, not sure. But now I am certain." After saying that, she stood up and bowed solemnly: "Your Majesty, you have lost your face again because of me. I have been wronged again. I, Ling Jingshu, will never forget this kindness.”

Wei Jieyu was speechless for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, "That's all. Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you. This matter was indeed arranged secretly by me."

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "Actually, the real 'mastermind' is not me. I heard the rumors, and although I was worried about you, I never thought of using such a method to help you. Someone came to beg me, so I nodded. Accepted."

Ling Jingshu: "..."

Wei Jieyu glanced at Ling Jingshu with ulterior motives: "I won't tell you who this person is, but you should have guessed it!"
