In the eyes of those within the Imperial Palace, even if Li Leqing wished to make friends with a commoner, it should be with an Academic Palace Disciple, not the maidservant of an Academic Palace Disciple—it would be shameful for the Royal Family if word got out.
"So it is. I've been careless."
Li Leqing lowered her face and gently brushed the flowers in the flowerbed, speaking with a hint of melancholy, "Please, Li Ang, help me pass a message to Cui Qiao. I am very sorry, and I won't do this again."
The atmosphere became oppressive for a moment. Indeed, in a sense, Li Leqing, as Princess Guanghua, didn't have many friends at the Academic Palace.
Ji Linglang always followed the etiquette of social hierarchy to the letter, keeping even casual conversations within bounds. Qiu Feng, the daughter of the Imperial Physician, cared more about Li Leqing's health, as her family had been specially instructed by the Emperor and Empress to take good care of Li Leqing.
