Chapter 141 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (19)
Lang Yue turned a blind eye to Jing Li's visits to her residence. Every time Jing Li came, Jing Jing would wait outside.
Seeing Jingli come out so quickly today, with obvious anger on his face, Jingjing quickly followed.
"Your Highness."
Jingli turned around, her face full of gloom: "Did you see the palace maid who ran out just now, sister?"
Jingjing nodded as she thought of that pale yellow color.
"Investigate her and find out where she comes from."
"Yes," Jingjing agreed first, then asked, "Did this palace maid do something wrong?"
Jingli angrily said, "She actually sneaked into our palace servants' living quarters and even made Xiao An help her retrieve her kite! How dare she!"
Jingjing said helplessly, "She did make a mistake by coming here, but it was Xiao An's wish to help her pick up the kite!"
Jingli knew this, of course, but he couldn't compromise.
"Xiao An can't have any intentions! If Xiao An has any intentions, then it's her fault! If she doesn't come, how can Xiao An help her!"
Jingjing was about to say something more, but Jingli had already turned away and wouldn't look at her.
"In short, there's something wrong with this woman. I want her to leave this palace! I never want to see her again!"
Jingli originally wanted to tell her to disappear, but she was afraid that if the words got out, her subordinates would misunderstand and kill the palace maid, so she only told her to leave.
Jingjing assumed he was angry and agreed, then coaxed him a couple more times.
Only Jingli and 6058 knew that Jingli's anger this time was not unreasonable.
In the first world, 6058 detected advanced intelligence beyond the world's level, so an automatic detection function was added to the observer system.
This feature didn't work in the previous world, but it triggered an alarm when Jingli stepped into his living quarters today.
The only stranger present was the little palace maid dressed in a yellow palace gown.
The moment the alarm sounded, Jingli thought about many things.
Why did this palace maid suddenly appear? Is it related to what approached Yu An yesterday?
Is this a test of a pseudo-world consciousness, or a warning?
But in any case, this palace maid cannot be kept.
He once again donned his arrogant and unreasonable disguise, crushing the kite to pieces.
To find out where this system came from, we need 6058 to step in.
Jingli could only use her temper as an excuse to divert attention to the palace maids.
Whether Jingjing will investigate or not, Jingli doesn't know, but this matter will definitely reach Langyue's ears today. Whether Langyue goes along with Jingli or uses this incident to discipline her, she will definitely find out who this little palace maid is.
As long as this little palace maid comes within 6058's range of power, 6058 can control her system and thus use the system to find out more things.
only……
Jingli lowered her head helplessly.
Because of what he said in a moment of desperation today, the little trust he and Yu An had painstakingly built up might collapse again.
We need to think of a way to salvage this situation.

The next morning, Jingjing appeared at the living quarters with two servants. She covered her mouth and said something to the steward, who then came over and took Yu An there.
The group arrived at Yu An's small house together.
"Xiao An, His Highness asked me to bring this."
She took out a brand new kite.
“His Highness was angry yesterday and said some unreasonable things. He threw a huge tantrum when he got back.” Jingjing shook her head with a smile as she thought of Jingli’s appearance yesterday. “By the time his anger subsided, His Highness had already been confined to his quarters. So, I had no choice but to bring this apology myself.”
Yu An knelt down respectfully and accepted the kite.
"I'm so sorry to trouble you, Lady Jingjing, but the kite from yesterday didn't belong to Xiao An, this..."
"Your Highness is giving it to you, so please accept it."
Jingjing, entrusted by Jingli, often took care of Yu An, and was not estranged from him.
"It doesn't matter whose kite it is; what matters is that Your Highness has probably broken your heart."
Yu An lowered his head. Jingjing was always good at talking, so he just listened to what she said and didn't necessarily mean what the young prince meant.
His gaze fell on the kite.
Although the kite is made of high-quality materials, it is clear that the person who made it is not skilled and it is very rough.
Two little figures are drawn on the wings of the kite, and the strange symbol is still written on the figures.
Jingli said that it meant "fish and peace".
Yu An thought, "This kite is so clumsy, I wonder if it can even fly."
He ultimately gave up the idea of giving the kite to the palace maid.
"His Highness said that Xiao An should fly the kite properly, so that he can play with it with you next time he comes."
"Xiao An understands."
Yu An waited from mid-spring to mid-summer.
The time for flying the kite had passed, and Yu An carefully put away the ugly kite.
Jingli never came back, and the little palace maid disappeared without a trace.
·
Jingli was confined to her quarters by Langyue.
As he had expected, Langyue learned of what had happened in the living quarters.
But to his surprise, the little palace maid was actually the Seventh Princess—someone from Jingyu Palace.
The current emperor has many sons, and the seventh princess is the only princess at present. She is only five years old and is at the most adorable age, which makes her very popular with the emperor.
That little palace maid is only seven years old this year. She is mute and has been with the Seventh Princess since she was a child.
The kite was made by the little palace maid herself. That day, she wanted to try flying it first. If it flew well, she would bring the little princess to play with it. However, the kite flew up to an old tree and was then trampled to pieces by Jingli.
The palace maid and the kite were minor matters, but the Seventh Princess was heartbroken for a long time after learning about it.
Upon learning the whole story, the Seventh Princess's birth mother, Consort Yingyue, brought the Seventh Princess and her maid to Langyue Palace that very day.
Jingli naturally caused another scene, and only after 6058 captured the system did he reluctantly admit his mistake.
Looking at the Seventh Princess's tear-streaked face, he felt deeply apologetic. He picked out a few interesting trinkets from the ones Zeng Yuan had found for him and handed them to the little girl, softening his tone:
"Yu'er, don't cry. Your brother will give you an even prettier kite, how about that?"
The seventh princess grabbed the toy that Jingli had given her, and that's when she stopped crying.
The feud between the two children came to an end.
But Jingli's attitude towards the little palace maid remained very firm.
Lady Yingyue didn't care much; she was just a palace maid, and she had plenty of others like her in her palace.
Moreover, it was indeed this palace maid who went to the living quarters of the Langyue Palace servants first, something that was taboo in the palace.
Now that Langyue has not pursued the matter, Yingyue is also willing to do the Third Prince a favor by sending the girl out of the palace.
But the antics in the scene are also a fact.
"Has your mother ever told you what to do with the things you like?"
Jingli bit her lip: "I don't like it."
Lang Yue shook her head: "I don't think you know that the more you favor that servant, the harder it is for her to survive."
Jingli lowered her head.
Of course he knew, but things happened so suddenly that he couldn't think about it. He also had no way to tell Lang Yue about these things.
“From today onwards, except for classes, you shall stay indoors. Jingjing, he is not allowed to step out of the house again.”
From this day forward, Jingli was placed under house arrest for three months.
It was worth it to confine a palace maid for three months and get rid of her with a purpose and a system.
