Chapter 973: Chapter 933: Do You Know Prince You?

Then, he unconsciously thrust the Jade Pendant into the other person’s hand.

Of course, it’s not that Lin Yi has taken a fancy to the other person, but simply because he greatly admired the cleverness they displayed.

He also had the thought of taking this Palace Maid as someone by his side.

Of course, this person by his side is nothing more than a close Palace Maid, such a quick-witted person will be very convenient to use in the future, with some training, she would become a very thoughtful little girl.

Someone with such a keen reaction. I am not stingy with nurturing her.

The little Palace Maid, upon hearing these words, was immediately stunned, especially when she saw the Jade Pendant placed in her hand, she was completely shocked.

She never thought that the person in front of her would give her such a thing, making her heartbeat suddenly seem to hint at stopping.

Fortunately, her mental resilience was strong enough. After a moment’s shock, her heart started pounding wildly.

At the same time, her face flushed with excitement.

What does this mean? Has Lin Yi given her his personal Jade Pendant, and even asked her to find him, does this mean he has taken a liking to her?

Could she be about to rise to great heights?

Could she become a noble?

In her mind, she couldn’t help but think wildly, since there have been precedents where many Palace Maids were chosen by the king and subsequently promoted to noble status.

From being a servant to others to becoming the master that others serve, this is something they dare not even dream of.

And now, it seems right before her, seeming so close to her.

She truly couldn’t imagine what other meaning there could be besides this.

After all, this Jade Pendant is the king’s personal belonging, not something casually given away, and the meaning of that last sentence already made her heart race strongly, her face flush.

Luckily, this little Palace Maid’s appearance was certainly top-notch, and although her face was flushed, it only added another unique charm.

And this little Palace Maid also attracted jealous glances from the group of Palace Maid behind her.

Of course, they did not dare to show that look in front of Lin Yi.

It flashed briefly before they hastily concealed it, such thoughts they dared not entertain, lest they risk losing their lives.

Hence, although they were envious, no one dared to say anything.

Meanwhile, Leng Yu, upon hearing those words, was also taken aback, she didn’t understand why Lin Yi would do this.

Could it be that Lin Yi brother knows this King Yu?

But how is that possible?

However, if they didn’t know each other, why would he do this?

For a moment, she truly could not figure it out, not knowing his purpose or why he would act this way.

At the same time, when she looked at the little Palace Maid, she noticed the undisguised excitement all over her face, making Leng Yu even more puzzled.

Why would this little Palace Maid have such a reaction?

Why would receiving a Jade Pendant from Lin Yi brother cause such excitement?

Though she didn’t know why, there was a slightly sour feeling in her heart.

After all, that’s Lin Yi brother’s Jade Pendant, and she didn’t have one at this moment.

Now Lin Yi brother unexpectedly gave it casually to a little Palace Maid, how could Leng Yu not feel jealousy?

Of course, although Leng Yu felt some bitterness in her heart, she showed no trace on her face, as in the current society women are not allowed any sense of jealousy, and it’s impossible for a man as excellent as Lin Yi brother to have only one wife.

And, according to Lin Yi brother’s words, the other person already has a wife, and she is merely a concubine.

Nonetheless, she looked at the little Palace Maid’s cute face, unable to help but secretly compare with herself.

Although the little Palace Maid was pretty, compared to herself there were still some differences, just that this Palace Maid and herself were completely different styles.

Looking at her, despite being a Palace Maid in identity and attire, it couldn’t hide her elegant demeanor of a noble family’s daughter, clearly showing she was undoubtedly a girl from an exceptional family before entering the palace.

In the current society, everyone knows one thing, and that is the previous King Yu, Chen Shiren, indulged excessively in desire.

Almost every Palace Maid was a high-quality beauty contributed from various places.

Of course, due to the sheer enormity of the numbers, these small Palace Maids naturally were not under Chen Shiren’s influence.

This inadvertently benefited Lin Yi, the newly appointed King Yu, those who had relations with the previous Lao Wang have already been cleared out, and now those remaining Palace Maids are wholly innocent.

Otherwise, they would have been expelled long ago.

This immediately reduced the number of Palace Maids drastically in the Imperial Palace.

Although even the remaining half were quite numerous, enough to serve the current needs of the harem.

Previously, the base number was too large, totaling thousands, whereas normally the harem’s need for Palace Maids shouldn’t exceed a thousand. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Yet previously Chen Shiren more than doubled that number.

As for why, of course, it was to satisfy his own selfish desires.

Although he never imagined that in the end, he was directly ousted by Lin Yi.

Moreover, all the beauties he accumulated no longer have any connection with him.

After giving thanks to Lin Yi, he waved dismissively indicating they could leave, then took Leng Yu’s hand, heading toward the direction the little Palace Maid pointed.

And after those little Palace Maids left, Leng Yu saw no one around, finally began to inquire timidly:

"Lin Yi brother, do you know King Yu?"

Having asked the question, her large eyes immediately gleamed, gazing at Lin Yi’s face, seemingly waiting for him to give an answer.

Upon hearing her words, Lin Yi slightly paused his steps, turned to glance at Leng Yu with a gentle smile:

"Hehe, you didn’t ask before, so I didn’t tell you, but I am indeed familiar with this King Yu."

Upon hearing that, Leng Yu was even more taken aback, never imagining that Lin Yi brother actually knew this King Yu.
