After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

After turning a rouge-green screen door, you will see a lush bamboo forest. In the forest, a two-person-wide path has been paved with normal-sized water-ground pebbles for people to walk on.

Rulu was accompanying Ning'er to familiarize herself with the garden when she suddenly heard Chuncao's voice behind her: "Girl, girl."

When Ning'er turned around, Chuncao was holding a box in her hand and walked up to her quickly: "So the young lady has come here. This place is too big and winding. It took me a long time to find it."

Ning Er smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you earlier that I'll go back home after strolling around with Rulu? Why did you come looking for me so eagerly?"

Chuncao handed the item in her hand to Ning'er and shook it: "A visiting card has been handed in from the front. It seems that someone is eager to see the young lady."

"To see me?" Ning'er asked in confusion, "Who?" She just arrived here last night, so logically, few people should know about her, and who would send a note here?

Rulu took the box for her, took out the note and looked at it, a little surprised: "Look, young lady, it's the Duke of Ying's Mansion."

"Duke of England?" Ning'er was even more confused. She almost forgot who this person was. She couldn't help but ask Chuncao, "Do I know this Duke?"

Rulu said tactfully, "The Duke of Ying is the consort of Her Royal Highness the Princess. I think you have had some dealings with him before."

The eldest princess? Ning Er suddenly realized. When she first met her at the Duke Dingguo's mansion that day, she was deeply impressed by this noble and majestic royal princess. Later, she and Sister Lin had friction with the two young ladies of Lou, and it was not very pleasant, but His Highness was very magnanimous and did not make a fuss about it.

She had a pretty good impression of this... Chu Huan's "cousin".

Ning Er was surprised: "Why would the Duke of England come to see me? How did he know I was here?"

Rulu quickly unfolded the visiting card and read it carefully for her: "It says here, I pay my respects to the owner of Qingyuan Garden."

"Master Qingyuan Garden, who is that?"

Rulu whispered, "This villa is Qingyuan Garden."

Ning Er suddenly realized, "So, the owner of Qingyuan Garden is Master Chu. He was just sent to me by mistake."

Rulu had a complicated expression, and she shook her head gently: "I'm afraid that the one the Duke is really looking for is the young lady. When the master left last night, he had already ordered that everyone in the villa should only serve the young lady. I'm afraid that by now, all the servants, livestock, and houses in the villa have been transferred to the young lady's name."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly: "The so-called owner of Qingyuan Garden is Miss Ning."

Qingyuan Garden, this is the first garden built by His Majesty after he ascended the throne, and it is of great significance. His Majesty would stay here for a few days every year, and it was difficult for ordinary royal family members to even come in.

He gave it to the girl so lightly, saying only that he was afraid that she would feel like a dependent and that "it's always uncomfortable to live in someone else's house."

Ning Er was surprised and said, "Didn't I tell you that I'm just staying here temporarily?"

Rulu smiled bitterly and said, "Even if the young lady is only staying for a few days, it cannot change the fact that you are the owner of the garden." Such a generous gesture made her feel a little painful even though she was just a servant.

Ning'er and Chuncao looked at each other. What could they do? How could a girl who was not yet an adult entertain the Duke of Guo, whom she had never met before?

Ning Er said with a headache, "Go back and change your clothes for meeting the guests. Rulu, clean up a flower hall that Lingwei used to entertain guests. Make sure it is spacious. Tell Jinxin to invite the guests in first."

----

Lou Qi sat in the flower hall with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, without putting on any airs of a Duke. He felt deeply moved. He had only been to this villa once before, when His Majesty visited, thanks to Linping. He never expected that when he came again, it would be such a different world.

Although the boy who entertained him was young, he was very smart. One could tell at first sight that he was trained in the palace, but he didn't know who his master was.

He smiled and said, "Master Lou, thank you for waiting. Our master is here."

When Lou Qi turned around, he saw several maids escorting a girl towards him from the corner of the corridor. The sound of jewelry jingling could be faintly heard as they moved.

He immediately stood up and looked back. It was a very delicate girl. Perhaps she came in a hurry. Her dress was not gorgeous. She just had a flowing bun and two hairpins in her hair. But the elegance and grace between her brows was very eye-catching.

This is the treasure that Your Majesty loves more than your eyes and holds in your heart.

Lou Qi did not dare to neglect her and bowed first to greet her: "Miss Ning, Lou Qi is polite."

Ning'er was surprised by his humility. In her mind, Princess Linping was so high and mighty and unattainable. She didn't expect that her husband would be such a humble and polite person.

She bowed and said, "My Lord, I am sorry to bother you so much. I hope you will not be offended by your waiting for so long."

Lou Qi smiled and said, "Miss, you are not feeling well. Don't stand for too long. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

Ning'er saw that Lou Qi was gentle and refined, and did not look down on her because of her young age. Compared with the second master Shen, he was three points more stable, so she couldn't help but have a better impression of him.

The two of them sat down on the left and right. Ning'er nodded at Rulu, motioning her to serve tea.

Lou Qi had just calmed down and was about to explain his purpose when he saw the head maid from the Yuchen Palace smiling and serving tea to him: "Master Lou, please have some."

Lou Qi almost bit his tongue. Isn’t this Rulu who is beside His Majesty?

Seeing Rulu winking at him, Lou Qi forced himself to calm down, and then heard Ning'er ask, "Are you really looking for me, Master?"

Lou Qi smiled and said, "I want to pay a visit to the owner of Qingyuan Garden, so it must be the young lady."

Ning Er blinked and nodded, "I wonder what urgent matter has come to you that has troubled you to come here in person?"

Lou Qi took a sip of the tea and immediately tasted that it was the Mengding Fairy Tea, a new tribute this spring. A single leaf was worth a fortune and it was very rare in the world. Apart from Yuchen Hall and Ciqing Palace, it was probably impossible to find it anywhere else.

Even at the Princess's residence, the Queen Mother gave half a bottle of wine to her daughter out of pity for her. Such a precious treasure, in Miss Ning's hands, became a casual way to entertain guests.

Lou Qi was in a complicated mood. When the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind and said softly, "Let the girl know that I came here specially to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Ning'er asked in surprise, "This is the first time I've met you, so why should I apologize?"

Lou Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Young lady has a magnanimous heart, but I cannot be arrogant because of this. I am ignorant and have greatly offended young lady. I should have come to apologize earlier. But I was punished by His Majesty a while ago and was locked up in the mansion copying scriptures, so I have delayed until today."

He stood up and bowed: "If a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father and Lou Ying. It is all because my husband and I indulged her too much. The child is spoiled by nature and I have sent her to the temple. I will release her when she has calmed down and reflected on her mistakes. I beg the young lady to forgive her."

Ning'er was stunned by these words. She never thought that the princess didn't punish them, but the Duke of England was so... "reasonable" that he even admitted his fault to her. No matter how you look at it, this was too much!

Rulu, who was standing aside, felt a chill in her heart. With the family background and scheming of the Duke of England, she was so humble in front of the girl... She should reflect on her attitude.
