too affected even if I lived outside the palace. 。“What do you mean not greatly affected Do you intend to spend your life as a worthless kept woman A woman’s most important thing is her reputation, w...In the court of Nan Yue, among the civil officials, only the left minister Yin Qi could stand against the chief minister Xiao Chenghe. However, the Xiao family was a renowned clan with a history spanning centuries, having produced two empresses and one noble consort, while Yin Qi came from humble origins. Therefore, Xiao Chenghe was undoubtedly the most powerful and influential civil official in the court of Nan Yue.

As the foremost scholar and role model for all writers, Xiao Chenghe placed great importance on his reputation. Therefore, he married only twice in his life, having one son and one daughter from his first wife, and two daughters from his second.

As the only legitimate daughter of the Xiao family's eldest branch, Xiao Changyue's status in the circle of noblewomen in Fenghuci City was self-evident. In addition to her proficiency in poetry, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she was known as the first talented woman from a young age. It is also rumored that a talented woman like Xiao Changyue will surely enter the palace one day.

Entering the palace Xiao Yunqin yawned and curled her lips, coldly listening to the two maids in the kitchen discussing the situation of the Xiao family. She sneered inwardly, with Xiao Changyue's ambition, how could she possibly look up to the almost puppet emperor in the palace

When the two maids had finished their gossip, Xiao Yunqin called over one of them. "You, come here and help me with something."

The maid trembled and curtsied, then followed Xiao Yunqin to a secluded area. Only then did Xiao Yunqin speak, "I have a question for you. If you answer well, this silver will be yours."

The maidservant glanced at the face value of the silver note, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face, "Miss Xiao Er, you just ask, I will definitely know everything and tell you everything."

Xiao Yunqin nodded slightly, her eyes filled with disdain, "After everyone settled down last night, did the kitchen cook the soul-reviving soup"

The maid thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head. "This post station isn't very large, so the kitchen is usually managed by me and two other sisters. After the group led by King Wuxuan arrived yesterday, there was a special cook assigned to handle their meals in the kitchen. Although I haven't dealt with food myself, I have been serving in the kitchen and haven't seen anyone make that絕子湯 (jùzi tāng)."

"You really think so Truly not" Xiao Yunqin seemed somewhat disbelieving.

"Really not, this servant girl once worked in a big household and also boiled ginger soup for the master. Ginger soup takes one or two hours to boil. If it were at an inn, this servant girl would have no reason not to know." The maid said confidently.

Xiao Yunqin fell silent for a moment, handed the silver note to the maid, and then waved her away. Martial King Xuan hadn't given that woman the abortion pill This was simply unthinkable for Xiao Yunqin.

Smoke curled lazily, the morning train station was very quiet, only the aroma of food gradually wafted from the kitchen.

Qin Luoyan got out of bed because she smelled the fragrance of the cooked food. She tidied her clothes and walked to Qin Yisheng's bed, seeing that he seemed to be sleeping soundly. She didn't intend to wake him up and was about to turn around when Qin Yisheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"Did I wake you" Qin Luoyan asked with a smile.

Qin Yisheng shook his head dumbly, not saying a word. He wouldn't let her know he actually hadn't slept all night.

"Come on, let me take you for breakfast." Qin Luoyan didn't mind his silence. Besides, she knew what he was thinking. In order to survive, he would do everything possible to avoid angering the "master," even though Qin Luoyan had never treated him as an object.

But because of long-term oppression, this six-year-old child learned to endure and be cautious. The former Qin Luoyan, when bullied by classmates, was not the same as him

Qin Luoyan helped him dress and took his hand out of the room, heading towards the kitchen. Although it was still early, the people at the station were already very busy.

The wagon train would only stop at the relay station for a short time. It was said that after a quick breakfast, they would be back on the road, so many soldiers were already packing up their things.

For Qin Luo Yan who roamed between the stations, almost all the soldiers chose to ignore her, some even directly showed disdain on their faces.

To this, Qin Luoyan responded by standing tall and walking with composure. As for Qin Yisheng, who was already feeling insecure, he felt the unfriendly gazes around him and buried his head even lower.

"Halt!"

A sudden, soft cry came from afar.

Qin Luo'yan raised her head and saw two women standing under the peony tree in the distance. One of them was the woman who had seen her embarrassed last night outside the carriage.

Perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed, Qin Luoyan's face unconsciously flushed red, but she still didn't let go of Qin Yisheng's hand.

"Are you two alright" Qin Luoyan pulled Qin Yisheng behind her, instinctively adopting a protective posture.

Xiao Changyue, accompanied by Xiao Yunqin, walked over gracefully. With every step she took, the jade foot-shaker on her head would slightly collide, producing a pleasant chime. Such a jade foot-shaker, one alone, would be enough to support an ordinary family for several generations.

"Little sister, don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We just think you've been working hard serving the Young Master, so we specially prepared some gifts for you." Xiao Changyue smiled very gently, her every gesture embodying the elegance of a lady from a noble family.

It's a pity that such tenderness fell into Qin Luo'yan's eyes and became ulterior motives.

Qin Luo'yan knew her place. She was merely an awkward presence beside King Wuxuan. In King Wuxuan's words, she was nothing but a toy, a plaything, not worthy of the attention of those who had long held positions of power.

And the two women in front of her, they actually took the initiative to find her. Although she didn't know who they were, she could tell with her toes that they definitely weren't there out of goodwill.

Qin Luo Yan remained silent, pulling Qin Yi Sheng back a step, "You're too kind. I am the Wang Ye's person, serving the Wang Ye is what I should do."

"You lowly wretch, you have no shame! My elder sister gave you a gift to save face. How dare you act so arrogant" Xiao Yunqin curled her lips. She secretly disapproved of Xiao Changyue's cautious nature, but it was just a maid; killing her would be nothing. Could King Wuxuan punish her for getting rid of a maid

"Those who don't work don't get paid. We still have things to do, so we won't disturb the two of you." Qin Luoyan pulled Qin Yisheng and walked backward. She really didn't want to have a conflict with these two people. When you're under someone else's roof, it's always yourself who suffers if something goes wrong.

Xiao Changyue's face turned pale. This was the first time she had encountered someone who didn't even bother with basic politeness. Previously, every woman she met would fawn over her, afraid of angering her.

Xiao Yunqin, however, couldn't stay calm. She took two steps and caught up to Qin Luoyan, blocking her way. She sneered, "Things my elder sister gave you, you have to take them whether you want to or not!" As she spoke, she reached out to grab Qin Luoyan.

Qin Luoyan wanted to protect Qin Yisheng, but she couldn't dodge in time and was caught by Xiao Yunqin on the shoulder. Xiao Yunqin smiled, then pulled hard, tearing open a gap in the clothes on Qin Luoyan's shoulder.
