Lingzhi did not feel uncomfortable with Concubine Yuan’s eager attention.
In the household, Concubine Yuan was smooth and slippery, she danced beautifully with long sleeves [1]. Not only did she have Lady and Old Lady’s favor, she put on no airs with the servant girls and maidservants.
And now that her present status was so, Concubine Yuan was even more respectful and currying these days.
Lingzhi was quite used to these people’s attitude, so she didn’t stop and simply watched Concubine Yuan go to the table with the tea.
She carried back a cup of tea and was about to pass it to Lingzhi when Lady Fang appeared in the entrance.
"What are you doing?" she asked with a frown.
Concubine Yuan stopped with the tea.
"Lingzhi was thirsty," she said with a smile.
"Put it down." Lady Fang glared at her as she passed by. She gave Lingzhi a look. "Didn’t I say that except for what I give you, you cannot accept anything from anyone else."
