Old Palace Maid (2)

"Why wouldn't I dare? You are indeed old, you look older than my grandmother," Ye Lang said. This was true. If you compared this Noble Lady with the Empress Dowager, in terms of appearance alone, this Noble Lady looked older.

"You... you..." The arrogant Noble Lady was furious with Ye Lang.

"Talking to you is a waste of time. I'd better find someone to take me to the Imperial Garden. Goodbye! Oh, it's best if we never see each other again, lest I get annoyed seeing your old face!" Ye Lang said, then prepared to leave.

"Wuji, knock this brat's teeth out! I want him to know if he'll dare to be so rude again!" the arrogant Noble Lady said angrily.

Originally, her manners weren't this bad, but some things she encountered before, coupled with Ye Lang's infuriating ability, caused her to completely abandon her manners.

However, that's just her personality—arrogant and rude. If it weren't for her noble status, someone would have taught her a lesson long ago.

"Yes, Mother!!" the arrogant Young Master, now called Wuji, replied. The name was indeed suitable for him; Wuji meant having no scruples, and such a person could also be arrogant and rude.

And this arrogant Young Master was about to make a move even as he was speaking!

"Wait!" Ye Lang stopped him.

"What's wrong? Are you regretting it? It's not too late. Just kneel down and apologize, and slap yourself fifty times," the Noble Lady said.

"I don't have time for you! I just want to tell you that I have to deliver flowers and don't have time to play with you. I have to go back later! Also, even if I did have time, I wouldn't hit you. I'm giving the Emperor face; this is his territory." Ye Lang said, then slowly walked around the arrogant Young Master.

"Damn it, you're playing me!!" the arrogant Young Master roared, preparing to attack.

"Wait!!"

This time, it wasn't Ye Lang who spoke; it was the girl who hadn't said a word until now.

"What's wrong, little sister?" the arrogant Young Master asked.

"Brother, the flowers in his hand are beautiful, don't break them! Give me the flowers, and I'll ask my brother to let you go!" the girl said, her expression indifferent, without even glancing at Ye Lang.

It seems that like mother, like daughter. This girl is also an impolite person. Otherwise, why would she not stop him and want the flower in Ye Lang's hand?

"Sorry, these flowers are for my Little Cousin, there's none for you!" Ye Lang replied.

"Given to my Little Cousin? Which palace maid is it? Palace maids these days are getting more and more unruly, daring to bring people in like this." The Noble Lady said, now seemingly understanding why Ye Lang was here—it was because he had Little Cousin working as a palace maid.

This Little Cousin, a palace maid, must be quite capable to have gotten the guards to let this young man in.

"Palace maids? You're really something. Talking to you is a complete waste of my energy." Ye Lang didn't want to say anything more and simply turned and left.

"?!"

When Ye Lang slipped away, the arrogant young man who had been standing to the side pretending to be cool was immediately dumbfounded, because he found that he couldn't stop a flower-delivering boy from passing by him.

"Wuji (Brother!)! What are you doing? Why did you let him go?!" the mother and daughter said at the same time.

"..."

The arrogant Young Master remained silent, believing that his earlier action was merely a mistake and that he could certainly stop Ye Lang if he went to intercept him now.

However, he found that he couldn't even catch up with Ye Lang. Ye Lang seemed to walk in front of him like a ghost. If he was fast, Ye Lang was fast; if he was slow, Ye Lang was slow!

The arrogant Young Master tried accelerating, pushing his speed to its maximum, but he still couldn't catch up, which terrified him!

In the end, he gave up. He felt that Ye Lang was not simple, and that anyone who could enter and leave this Imperial Palace was not an ordinary person either. He should avoid encountering such a troublesome character.

"Wuji, what happened to you? Why did you come back?" the Noble Lady asked.

"Mother! That flower-delivering boy is no ordinary person. I can't catch up with him, and I can't win him over!"

"Impossible! If you can't even handle him, then he's not... How could someone like that be a flower deliveryman? There must be something wrong. Quickly inform the guards, and also tell the Emperor!!" The Noble Lady said immediately, suspecting that Ye Lang had ulterior motives.

"Yes!"

So, a search for Ye Lang began in the Imperial Palace. At that time, Ye Lang happened to be walking in a deserted place, so no one knew that they were searching for him; otherwise, the search would have stopped long ago.

This matter quickly alarmed the Emperor, who was unaware of when such a person had entered, and ordered his men to investigate.

"We've finally arrived!"

Ye Lang was very lucky this time and actually found the Imperial Garden. At this time, the Imperial Garden was still unattended. The three Noble Lady thought that Ye Lang was just making things up when he said he was going to the Imperial Garden, so they did not provide this clue.

They thought Ye Lang was going to find a palace maid. Didn't Ye Lang just say he was going to give the flowers to his Little Cousin? If he was going to give them, then he should be giving them to someone. Little did they know that when Ye Lang said he was going to give them, he was just throwing them in the Imperial Garden.

Ye Lang placed the flowers in their original spots, which remained untouched and unclaimed, saving Ye Lang a lot of trouble.

Next, Ye Lang removed the Alchemy Array from the flowerpots, intending to stay and observe. Once he confirmed that everything was alright, he would leave immediately!

With nothing to do during this time, Ye Lang set up a small stove and started barbecuing right there in the Imperial Garden...

"Roasted chicken wings, that's my favorite..."

Ye Lang was brushing soy sauce on the chicken wings, flipping them over, and humming a tune all the while. He looked completely carefree. If anyone knew about this, they would definitely go crazy.

This is the Imperial Garden! You're grilling chicken wings here?!

But speaking of which, having a barbecue in the Imperial Garden is really nice. There's no one around, the environment is great, and everything is perfect except for the emperor scolding you if you're caught.

"Huh? What's this?"

Just as Ye Lang was about to take a bite of the chicken wing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye...

"Fire!"

Right there in the Imperial Palace, while they were searching for Ye Lang, the mysterious flower deliveryman, someone suddenly shouted loudly, shifting the focus to another matter.

"If there's a fire, someone will handle it. Don't shout!" one person said, frowning. In the Imperial Palace, there are always people to take care of things if anything happens, so there's no need to worry.

"But this smoke is so thick, it seems like no one is taking care of it."

"What? Where?"

"The Imperial Garden!!"

"..."
