"Ding! New task released: The first step to gaining Xiao Yuan's trust—become Sixth Princess's personal maid to facilitate contact with Xiao Yuan. Reward: 300 points!"
I rubbed my forehead, "So am I supposed to develop a relationship with him, or is it about getting promoted?"
"Both," the system chirped happily. "In this position, you can help him avoid the Crown Prince's schemes. By the way, be careful; the Crown Prince's spies will soon come to test you."
"What spies?"
Just as I finished speaking, a gentle voice said, "Li Sister, Sixth Princess wants you to come help organize the poetry collection."
"Organize the poetry collection?" I turned to the maid who spoke; she was a gentle-looking young lady who introduced herself as Du Ruo.
"System, check this person," I silently requested.
"Du Ruo, a spy planted by the Crown Prince beside Sixth Princess. In the Original Work, she is responsible for monitoring Sixth Princess's every move and gathering intelligence for the Crown Prince's rebellion."
Sure enough, there was a problem! However... since I knew she was a spy, couldn't I turn this around and use it to my advantage?
The survival rule in the workplace: when encountering a mole sent by the rival, either avoid them or play along. Clearly, in this situation, the second option was more suitable.
"Thank you, Sister Du, for leading the way," I said with a sweet smile.
On the way, Du Ruo frequently probed, "I heard Li Sister is new? How did you gain the princess's favor so quickly?"
I feigned innocence, "Maybe it's because I'm good at tidying things up?" After a pause, I added, "But I really enjoy organizing things, especially various documents and letters..."
Du Ruo's eyes flickered.
"Ding! The protagonist's acting is quite good!" the system praised. "She's already taken the bait."
Upon arriving at Sixth Princess's chamber, Liu Wanting was flipping through a poetry collection. Xiao Yuan was also there, standing nearby with a serious expression.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness and to Lord Commander," I said respectfully as I bowed.
"There's no need for formalities," Sixth Princess said gently. "I heard you're good at organizing? These poetry collections are a bit scattered; could you help me reclassify them?"
I glanced at the poetry collections on the table and nodded inwardly. This was a test to see if I could uncover any hidden secrets.
"System, what's wrong with these poetry collections?"
"These collections contain correspondence between Sixth Princess and various ministers; the Crown Prince wants to take this opportunity to inspect them," the system explained. "Du Ruo is here to monitor how you handle these letters."
I see! This was just like common workplace "fishing enforcement," where a superior intentionally gives you sensitive documents to see if you'll peek or leak information.
"I dare to ask," I pretended to seriously flip through the poetry collection, "is it organized chronologically or by content?"
A glimmer of appreciation flashed in the Sixth Princess's eyes. "By content, I suppose. The poems... should be kept separate, and the others... should also be kept separate."
I immediately understood. "Yes, I understand."
As I began to organize, I noticed that Xiao Yuan had been observing me from a distance. This Lord Commander, could he also be here to test me?
To appear more natural, I started humming a tune while sorting. Hmm... let's go with "Little White Boat," after all, they wouldn't understand it anyway.
"What are you singing?" Xiao Yuan suddenly asked.
I jolted and nearly dropped the letters. "Replying to you, my lord, this... this is a nursery rhyme from my hometown."
"A nursery rhyme?" He pondered for a moment. "Quite unique."
Seeing that Xiao Yuan was interested in my song, I quickly changed the subject. "Lord Commander, please don't mind me; I just wanted to find some fun to make the sorting more lively."
"Lively?" Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow. "This official would like to see how you manage to make it lively."
Great, this Lord Commander was determined to keep a close watch on me. I sighed inwardly but maintained a serious demeanor as I continued sorting.
