I traveled through time and space to become the mistress of a royal palace. My daily routine is to a

Song Qingwan learned Lan Xiaoxiao's identity from Yan Yu. It turned out that she was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Chu, the daughter of Yan Chengen, and the queen's niece.

"No wonder you're so arrogant, this girl seems to like you very much."

"Miss Song, why are you making fun of me like this? How can the Yan family and the Lan family get married?"

Yan Yu is the nephew of Concubine Shun, so it is naturally impossible for him to marry the daughter of the Lan family, so Lan Xiaoxiao is destined to have unrequited love.

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the gate of Prince Huai's mansion. The servants in front of the gate naturally knew Yan Yu, and hurried over to greet him.

"Master, you are here."

Yan Yu pointed at Song Qingwan next to him and said to the servants.

"This is your prince's fiancée. She will be your master from now on."

Song Qingwan didn't want to reveal her identity, but now Yan Yuquan has told her.

"It's the princess. I was blind and didn't recognize you. Please forgive me, princess."

"Don't blame you. Let's go find Ajin. Is he home?"

"Yes! Yes! I will take you there right away!"

Led by servants, Song Qingwan and Yan Yu came to Zhao Huaijin's study.

Along the way, Song Qingwan discovered that the decoration of Prince Huai's Mansion was very simple, there were very few servants, and it looked similar to the Yan family's villa.

I wonder if Zhao Huaijin's concubine is pretty or not? Song Qingwan thought so.

"Awan? Why are you here?"

When Zhao Huaijin saw the two people coming in, he put down the book in his hand and went to greet them.

"Of course I'm here to see His Royal Highness Prince Huai. Is His Royal Highness busy?"

"No, I'm just reading a book about etiquette when I have nothing to do."

"Oh? Why do you want to read this kind of book?" Song Qingwan was puzzled.

"To prepare for marrying you. I'm afraid something might go wrong."

Yan Yu was a little unhappy. Was he being ignored directly?

"Cough...cough..."

Zhao Huaijin seemed to have just seen Yan Yu. He rolled his eyes, thinking that bachelors just have no vision.

Song Qingwan then remembered that there was Yan Yu, a light bulb, so she stopped hanging out with Zhao Huaijin and found a seat to sit down.

Zhao Huaijin and Yan Yu also sat down, and Yan Yu took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.

"This is what I found out. The man in black doesn't seem to be able to speak, so I can't get anything out of him."

"Mute?"

Zhao Huaijin took the paper, unfolded it, read the contents carefully, and slowly frowned.

"I don't know, but no matter how we interrogate him, he won't say a word."

Song Qingwan was a little curious, so she took the paper and began to read it slowly.

It contained information about the man in black's various behaviors and the process of his interrogation, but apart from the fact that he was certain to have received special training, there was almost no useful information.

"But the tongue was cut?"

Yan Yu shook his head. He had thought about Song Qingwan's guess before and had verified it, but the man's tongue was indeed still there.

As long as he doesn't open his mouth, nothing can be asked of him, which means it's useless to catch him.

But Song Qingwan remembered that when the men in black retreated that day, they had simple verbal communication with each other.

Then there is only one possibility, that this person must be a killer who has been trained since childhood. He is used to being tortured, so he can hold back and remain silent.

"I came here today to remind Ah Jin that the other party is definitely not simple. This kind of warrior cannot be trained by Lan Chengan alone."

Zhao Huaijin nodded. He understood what Yan Yu meant. Although his father directly killed the people from the second branch of the Lan family, he did not shake the foundation of the Lan family.

In other words, this was just a warning to scare the emperor, and he didn't really want to get rid of the Lan family.

The person who truly holds power in the Lan family is the eldest branch of the Lan family, Duke Chu, who is also the queen's father.

"I understand. Keep the man in black for now. Don't let him die. Maybe he can be useful in the future."

"it is good"

Song Qingwan returned the paper to Zhao Huaijin and took out the jade pendant from her arms.

"Does Your Highness Prince Huai recognize this object?"

Zhao Huaijin took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully for a long time, and shook his head.

"There's nothing special about this jade pendant. Where did Awan get it from?"

Song Qingwan looked up at the sky in silence. It turned out that Zhao Huaijin didn't remember anything at all. Poor Zhong Xuejiao had treasured it for ten years.

"This is what Zhong Xuejiao gave me. Isn't this what you gave to others?"

"Who? Zhong Xuejiao, the girl from the Zhong family?"

"correct."

Zhao Huaijin looked incredulous. He looked at the jade pendant again and then put it on the table.

"Awan, believe me, I really don't have any impression at all."

"At the palace banquet ten years ago, Miss Zhong was always thinking about you."

"I seem to have an impression of what you said, but we were all children at that time. I just saw that she was timid and cried again, so I gave her the jade pendant to play with."

Song Qingwan understood. So that was the case. Maybe this kind of thing was nothing in modern times, but in this feudal ancient times, Zhong Xuejiao might have regarded it as a token of trust.

Seeing that Song Qingwan didn't say a word, Zhao Huaijin thought she was angry, so he walked forward anxiously.

"Awan, what I said is true. I only love you."

"Pfft, I know, I'm just teasing you."

Song Qingwan stretched out her finger and pointed at Zhao Huaijin's forehead, what a fool.

Yan Yu always felt that Zhao Huaijin was like a child in front of Song Qingwan. Is this the man in love?

"After we get married, you will be the mistress of this house, the only mistress."

"What about your concubines? Are they also considered masters?"

Zhao Huaijin suddenly became serious. He stood up solemnly and called all the servants over.

"This is the princess. You should all recognize her. She will be the only master in the backyard of this palace from now on. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty?" The servants responded one after another.

Zhao Huaijin didn't have a concubine. This was Song Qingwan's biggest surprise. Zhao Huaijin was almost twenty years old now. Could it be...

Song Qingwan approached Zhao Huaijin with a suspicious look on her face and observed him. Hmm, he had stubble and an Adam's apple...

"What are you doing?"

Yan Yu understood Song Qingwan's doubts. He couldn't help but lower his head and laughed. It was really funny to see Zhao Huaijin being humiliated in front of Song Qingwan.

"If you have any hidden illness, you can tell me and I will help you cure it."

"What hidden disease?"

"Hey, it's okay if you're embarrassed to say it, but I won't despise you. At worst, I can just keep a few male favorites in the future."

Zhao Huaijin finally understood. Was Song Qingwan doubting his ability?

"I'm not. I don't have any hidden illness. I'm in good health!"

"Explanation is covering up. I understand. I understand."

Song Qingwan squinted her eyes and patted his shoulder to show that she was very generous.

Zhao Huaijin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. How could he explain this?

"Ayu! Get out of the way."

Yan Yu covered his lips with his fist and walked out of the room in silence. He had a feeling that Zhao Huaijin had been fooled again.

Yan Yu was right in his guess. Song Qingwan did it on purpose. She just wanted to take advantage of him but couldn't find a legitimate reason.

After a while, Song Qingwan touched Zhao Huaijin all over and said with satisfaction that she trusted Zhao Huaijin.

But Zhao Huaijin was very happy and didn't realize at all that he was being taken advantage of.

Poor kid, isn’t he afraid that Song Qingwan will sell him!
