Chapter 48 Are the requirements for becoming a maid so high now?
Just do it!
Zhai Rong turned and went to the Regent's Palace.
After getting off the carriage, she walked straight to the grand gate and knocked on the handle a few times.
A woman dressed in black opened the door.
She wore her hair in a high ponytail, was tall and slender, and looked at Zhai Rongyu with a cold and aloof expression, saying, "Who are you looking for?"
Holy crap! Are the requirements for becoming a maid so high now?
[And her uniform is so unique!]
[Cool, she's got that killer vibe!]
To be honest, although Brother Huaixu has a bit of a bad temper, his taste is absolutely impeccable!
[And they even dressed up the maid like this~]
[You've got some fun!]
Zhai Rongyu, her eyes sparkling, chuckled and said, "I'm looking for your Regent, could you please inform him, sister?"
Her soft, sweet voice was clear and pure.
Hua Ying looked down.
The girl's delicate face was adorned with shallow dimples, and her eyes sparkled with laughter like stars, making her look almost unreal in the sunlight.
She was stunned for a moment, then became somewhat annoyed after realizing what had happened.
"The prince does not see female guests."
With that, he slammed the door shut.
Zhai Rong's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
What, is a bad temper a characteristic of the Regent's Palace?!
She pouted and then banged on the pull ring again.
Hua Ying opened the door again, not looking at Zhai Rongyu, but coldly saying:
"I advise you not to waste your time."
"I've seen plenty of women like you."
"She thought she could get close to the prince because she was pretty."
"How dare you troublemakers lay a finger on the prince?"
"Give up on that idea as soon as possible!"
He was about to close the door again.
How attractive is she?
[A source of trouble?]
Zhai Rongyu's lips curled up more and more as she listened.
She raised her hands to press down on both sides of the door, her face beaming with joy, and said:
"Sister, you're so good with words!"
"It's truly rare to find someone as perceptive as you, who can both refuse a guest and then praise them!"
"I admire someone as talented as you!"
She leaned closer and asked mysteriously, "So, how much is your monthly salary?"
"Can I bring you to my Taoist temple?"
"The terms and conditions are negotiable!"
Hua Ying glanced at her speechlessly, then tried to close the door with both hands, but found that she couldn't close it no matter what she did!
A storm raged within me.
Who would have thought that this seemingly frail woman possessed such profound inner strength!
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhai Rongyu with a cold expression.
This person is no ordinary individual!
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time and her expression was somewhat unpleasant, Zhai Rongyu quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to curse you to become a nun."
"I work nine to five at my Taoist temple, and I return to secular life after get off work."
"You can get married normally, it won't affect anything."
Hua Ying suddenly raised her voice: "No matter what tricks you try, it won't work!"
Zhai Rongyu lowered her head and sighed.
[Sigh, it seems Brother Huaixu gave too much.]
Well, I really can't compete with them in terms of financial resources.
As the two remained locked in a stalemate, a lone figure passed by in the corridor.
"Miss Zhai?"
"How did you come?"
He approached excitedly.
The savior is here!
He won't have to clean the stables anymore!
Hua Ying turned to look at him. "You know him?"
The figure stepped forward and tugged at her sleeve, whispering, "This Miss Zhai cannot be stopped; the master will surely see her."
Hua Ying frowned as she looked at him. "Definitely?"
Are you so sure? What makes you so confident?
The figure scratched his nose and gave an embarrassed smile.
"Well, in short, we just can't stop them!"
He opened the door and let Zhai Rongyu in. "The master is in the study. Miss Zhai, please follow me."
"Thank you~"
Zhai Rong stepped inside, but before leaving, she still lingered, leaning close to Hua Ying and saying, "Think carefully about what I just said. The doors of the Taoist temple are always open for you!"
"Taoist temple?"
Upon hearing this, the lone figure was greatly surprised and looked at the flower-like figure, saying, "You want to become a nun?"
Seeing that Hua Ying's face had darkened again, Zhai Rongyu quickly pulled Zhi Ying away.
Sigh, these days, it's so hard to find talent!
The figure led Zhai Rongyu toward the study.
As he glanced at Zhai Rongyu's profile, he thought to himself: I wonder if Miss Zhai still remembers that I flirted with the master.
Since returning from the flower-viewing banquet at the Gu residence, the master has seemed to be in a very bad mood.
He's locked himself in his study handling official business and hasn't come out yet.
Although he didn't know why, his intuition told him it was related to Miss Zhai.
Otherwise, how could he have been punished by cleaning the stables just for mentioning "Miss Zhai" and still not been able to "get away with it"?
Now, Miss Zhai has actually come to our door in person!
Perhaps if the Lord is in a good mood, he will not punish him anymore!
He stared at Zhai Rongyu with a maternal smile.
Hehe, whether you can regain favor depends on you, Miss Zhai.
Zhai Rongyu met his gaze and felt a chill run down her spine.
What kind of look is that?
Who's outside?
Jun Ce's indifferent voice came from the study.
The two stopped outside the door, and the lone figure bowed and replied, "Reporting to the master, Miss Zhai has come to visit."
After a long silence inside, someone said, "Come in."
The lone figure stepped forward and pushed open the door, secretly delighted.
Hehe, he was right after all.
The Lord refused to see any visitors during these days.
As soon as Miss Zhai arrived, she said, "Come in."
Hey hey hey.
There's definitely potential!
As soon as Zhai Rong entered, she saw Jun Ce sitting at his desk with a tall stack of memorials in front of him.
He was dressed in a black robe, and his handsome features appeared even more profound and three-dimensional in the interplay of light and shadow. Beneath his raven-feather eyelashes, a pair of dark eyes were fixed on her.
Zhai Rongyu's heart skipped a beat.
What's wrong with these two, master and servant? Why are they both looking at me so strangely...?
Jun Ce glanced at the lone figure grinning foolishly at the door, his eyes narrowing, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Ah? Oh! This subordinate will take his leave now!"
Realizing what was happening, Zhiying quickly stepped out of the room and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.
Only two people remained in the room.
The air became quiet for a moment.
Their gazes met in the air, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Why is that shadow closing the door?!
I'm not here to do anything shady with him...
Jun Ce put down his brush, crossed his fingers on the table, and leaned back in his chair with a slightly languid air, his eyes revealing no emotion.
"Does Miss Zhai need something from me?"
Zhai Rongyu seemed a little nervous for some reason. She swallowed and said, "Hehe, it's nothing, nothing."
"I just want the Regent to write two words for me."
"That's it?"
Is that all?
Zhai Rongyu felt that the person in front of her seemed to have suddenly become colder.
She obediently added, "Then it was carved into a plaque and hung at the entrance of my Taoist temple."
[To ward off backstabbers.]
Jun Ce slightly raised his chin and tapped the memorial on the table with his index finger. "A single word of mine is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
So expensive?!
[Are you trying to rob me outright?!]
Zhai Rongyu was completely devastated.
Seeing that she was getting a little agitated, Jun Ce sat up, his deep eyes curving into a slight arc.
"How does Miss Zhai plan to repay such a great favor?"
