Chapter 601
Zhen Qiao is a servant of the Prime Minister's family and has been following Lou Ce. Twelve years ago, Lou Ce's high school champion was favored by the emperor and entered the imperial court to serve as an important official in the household department. Since then, Zhen Qiao has joined the Prime Minister's Mansion to serve Lou Ce took care of the flowers and trees in the mansion.

Zhen Qiao's deed of selling herself is in Lou Ce's hands. Back then, Lou Ce bought her from a prostitute in the West City of the capital, and then placed her in the mansion to work with the butler of the Prime Minister's mansion.

She has always been obedient and well-behaved, and she will never cause trouble outside.

So these years, Zhen Qiao has won the housekeeper's favor, and the monthly silver in the mansion has risen again and again, which is more than a hundred times better than those vagrants and beggars outside the prime minister's mansion!
This time Lou Ce sent Zhen Qiao to the General's Mansion, it was considered a drunkard's intention.

Ling Xiao glanced at Zhenqiao's woman's bun, and said with a smile: "Where's your family? Are they still in the Prime Minister's residence? Do you want me to ask them to come together?"

The whole family needs to be tidy!
And without my family by my side, I have no energy in doing anything.

Zhen Qiao reached out her hand to caress the peony and jade hairpin on the hairpin, and said with a smile: "There is something that I must confess to Miss."

"Huh?" Ling Xiao listened attentively.

Zhen Qiao smiled shyly: "I'm not actually a woman. I'm just used to this kind of dress. In essence, I'm still..."

She seemed a little embarrassed.

Ling Xiao asked considerately: "Are you... a man? Do you like dressing up as women?"

Zhen Qiao hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's almost what it means."

Ling Xiao's curiosity was immediately aroused by the other party: "In this world, it is more convenient for men to walk outside. Why do you pretend to be a woman, and it is not easy to do things?"

Zhen Qiao's expression did not change, and she replied calmly: "Miss, I have been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion took good care of me. I don't need to socialize with those stinky men, so I also have the permission of the Prime Minister's Mansion to dress up as a woman." of."

Ling Xiao nodded clearly.

Can't tell, this guy is actually a costumed version of a lady boss?
It's been a long time.

Ling Xiao took Zhen Qiao to the next yard. This garden was the peony garden left by General Mu's deceased wife. It had long been abandoned and no one cared about it.

The original owner was a simple-minded person, she only knew how to run after the second prince all day long, she wished she could tie herself to the waistband of the second prince's trousers, and didn't care about the things left by her late mother at all.

Now it's Ling Xiao's turn, Ling Xiao didn't notice this peony garden at first, it was Lou Ce, he deliberately reminded himself, and promised himself a sincere heart.

Zhen Qiao got Ling Xiao's order to observe and check around in the peony garden, and said with a smile: "Miss, some potted peonies have dried up, and it's not easy to rejuvenate them."

"Then what is your opinion?"

"I know a peony lady in the capital, and I have dealt with her before. All the peonies in the Xiangfu garden are bought from her!"

Zhen Qiao smiled respectfully but neither humble nor overbearing: "I can buy some peony varieties from Mrs. Peony, and within three months, I can tidy up the garden in Miss's mansion."

Ling Xiao saw that the other party was so professional and his attitude was unpretentious, so he agreed.

"How much money is needed, you report to me in advance."

Zhen Qiao was slightly taken aback, and smiled considerately: "Miss, you don't need to give money. The money for buying peony flowers has already been arranged by Mr. Xiang. I just need to go directly to Mrs. Peony to pick up the goods."

This time it was Ling Xiao's turn to be a little surprised and puzzled.

"Lou Xiang? Did he premeditate?"

Otherwise, why send yourself a florist to tend the peony garden left by your deceased mother?
Zhen Qiao suddenly took out a delicately embroidered brocade handkerchief from her pocket, and carefully handed it to Ling Xiao.

"Miss, Master Xiang gave it to me before, saying that if Miss is tired from visiting the garden, I will take this to wipe your sweat."

Ling Xiao immediately took the Jinpa cautiously, and glanced at it carefully.

There is a cluster of rich and gorgeous peonies embroidered on the Jinpa. The variety should be Yaohuang. The color is bright, and the buds are just blooming. The embroidery is exquisite and the stitches are dense and orderly.

On the end is a piece of embroidery boutique that can be called a work of art.

Ling Xiao put away the brocade handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Okay! The Lou Xiang has a heart, I have been taught."

Zhen Qiao didn't meddle in her own business.

This is what Lou Ce ordered her to do. After completing the task, she began to tend the long-abandoned peony garden in the backyard of the General's Mansion.

Soon, General Mu received the news from the backyard and rushed to Yinbing Xiaozhu immediately.

Ling Xiao sat in front of the window of the Nuan Pavilion, rolled up the bamboo curtain, revealing the square red sandalwood desk, on which were placed some delicate pens, inks, paper and inkstones and a beautiful blue and white jade porcelain vase.

There is a bouquet of fresh and elegant jasmine flowers in the vase, which smells delicious!
General Mu saw his precious daughter leaning against the window, holding a thick book in her hand, and was slowly flipping through it.

The bright sunlight fell down, outlining Ling Xiao's beautiful and picturesque outline.

It really is a quiet time.

General Mu thought of the rumors circulating outside, so he deliberately coughed lightly to attract Ling Xiao's attention, then he strode to the window and said with a smile: "Ling Xiao! Last time in Baihua Villa, you really put that second The prince hit?"

Ling Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "How could Daddy know?"

General Mu said with a hearty smile: "This matter has spread throughout the capital. Although it is not known to everyone in the streets and alleys, there were so many men and women who participated in the Hundred Flowers Fair that day, and many of them are old acquaintances from our General's Mansion."

Gossip among old acquaintances was inevitable, and it naturally reached General Mu's ears.

Ling Xiao replied indifferently: "He bullied me, does Daddy think I should beat him?"

When General Mu heard this, he immediately frowned, and asked displeasedly, "Why did he bully you?"

Ling Xiao parted his long black hair, revealing the wound on his forehead, and replied solemnly: "He had an argument with me that day, and he pushed me to the ground, and I accidentally hit the debris on the ground, scratching my forehead! "

"The Second Prince doesn't care about me at all. Instead, he chases after Xiao Mingxue, the head of the Yuefu of the Jiaofang Division, and flirts with Xiao Mingxue in various ways..."

When General Mu saw the wound on Ling Xiao's forehead, his heart ached terribly, and he asked worriedly, "Are you okay? That brat is really ungrateful! I think I was still in front of His Majesty to give him a good word, otherwise he would have His Majesty drove him to the western fiefdom!"

Ling Xiao had already applied high-quality wound medicine, and the wound had scabbed by now.It should not leave any unsightly scars.

Ling Xiao smiled calmly: "Father! I'm fine! Can you do me a favor?"

General Mu's expression changed, and he asked with concern: "What's the matter? As long as I can do it, I will do it for you!"

Ling Xiao smiled, the original owner is really lucky to have a father who is so protective of the original owner.

It's a pity that General Mu in his previous life rescued his daughter's favorite fiancé on the battlefield. In order not to disappoint his daughter, General Mu fell into the enemy's trap and was pierced by thousands of arrows!
Ling Xiao turned pale, and replied, "Father! I don't want to marry the Second Prince. He has someone in his heart. If he marries him, my daughter will definitely not be happy."

General Mu seemed to be taken aback. In the past, this willful baby girl would be steadfast in her affection for the young and handsome Second Prince, chasing after him fiercely!
