It was a pleasant surprise for Lin Jiuqing to meet Lin Qingqing outside the palace.

But this matter was too private, and she couldn't share it with others, so she could only digest it silently.

Yingyue was quite curious. After coming out of the teahouse, she tilted her head to look at Lin Jiuqing: "Madam, are you familiar with the proprietress just now? Did you know her before entering the palace?"

Lin Jiuqing glanced at her and said with a smile, "Yingyue, it's dangerous to know too much."

Yingyue's smile faded and she immediately said, "I won't ask any more questions."

She had been with Lin Jiuqing for too long and was too relaxed, so she became a little gossipy.

These people only listen to their master's orders, do whatever they are told, and never ask why. She has violated a taboo.

Seeing how nervous she was, Lin Jiuqing quickly said, "Don't be nervous. I don't mean to scold you. It's just that this is a little secret between me and His Majesty, and it's not appropriate to tell you."

After hearing this, Yingyue felt a warm current flowing through her heart, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. I understand everything."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and patted her shoulder, and then the group got up and returned to Lu's house.

Before resting, Lin Jiuqing specifically instructed: "I may have guests visiting me in the next few days, so please pay attention and entertain them well when the time comes."

When Yingyue heard this, she became suspicious and guessed that the visiting friend might be the owner of the teahouse today.

Lin Jiuqing ignored the turmoil in the court and lived a carefree life in his own small courtyard.

Three days later, the visitor she mentioned really came.

Lin Qingqing was still wearing her veil, and was accompanied by Mr. Liu.

The two of them walked together, looking like people from two different worlds. Lin Qingqing was dressed in silk and silk, showing her wealth and nobility, while Mr. Liu was dressed in coarse linen and looked like a poor man.

Lin Qingqing's eyes were full of reluctance, while Mr. Liu's eyes were full of curiosity.

Yingyue came out to greet the two of them personally, and said politely, "Sir, Miss, please come in."

That Mr. Liu followed Lin Qingqing and couldn't help but say, "This Miss Lin is so impressive, and the servants in the mansion are all very impressive."

The maid who just greeted them didn't look like an ordinary person.

Lin Qingqing rolled her eyes and thought to herself: His Majesty loves her and sends the best people to her, so naturally, the people around her are the best.

But he said lightly: "She is not an ordinary person, be polite to her, and don't offend her."

"Other than that, we can interact normally."

Lin Jiuqing is not suitable for playing tricks on her. Anyone who plays tricks on her will end up badly.

Young Master Liu nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After a pause, he couldn't help but say, "You're obviously very happy to come to your friend's house, why are you acting so reluctant?"

Lin Qingqing glared at Master Liu fiercely: "I told you long ago that we are not friends but enemies. Can't you remember?"

Young Master Liu: “…I’ll remember that.”

After a moment's silence, he asked again, "Then you brought me to see your enemy. What if she also hates me because of you?"

Lin Qingqing stopped and glared at Master Liu more fiercely: "Then you'll just have to pray for good luck. Being hated by her is like being named by the King of Hell."

Young Master Liu: "...So scary? Then I must be careful. I wonder if the wild fruits I picked today will suit her taste."

Lin Qingqing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she turned around and walked inside.
