Su Qingci only took a casual glance and realized that those were the clothes of the women of Fengyuan Country, not the clothes worn by the women of Nanchang Country.

The colors are bright and colorful, and there are small and exquisite bells and some delicate and beautiful pendants hanging around the waist.

There are forehead pendants, headscarves that cover the face, or wide gauze cloaks, exotic bracelets and necklaces, etc.

The colors are gorgeous and dreamy, and the skirt is fluttering.

Some sets are embroidered with mysterious patterns, like ancient talismans.

However, these clothes were mostly considered inappropriate by the women of Nanchang.

As for the dresses, they either expose the chest or the waist, or they are like see-through clothes, with a long slit between the legs, which can be exposed at any time when walking.

In addition, there are more clothes.

Because the people of Fengyuan were good at riding and shooting, in order to make it easier to ride a horse, the skirts were changed into pants.

And now that the weather is cold, it is even more inappropriate to wear skirts that expose the skin, so clothes and pants become the best choice.

Su Qingci sneered. What did Yan Xuanye mean by this?

Did he really treat her like a bird in his cage?

The clothes prepared for her were the same revealing dresses worn by dancers. Did he want her to be like those exotic dancers, wearing this dress and posing for him, hoping for his favor?

Or does it mean that from now on, her clothing, food, and even everything else will have to be decided by his words and actions?

A feeling of humiliation came over me.

Thinking of this, Su Qingci stood up angrily, knocked over the clothes held by the maid with one hand, and even stomped on them twice.

The two maids knelt down in panic, not knowing how they had angered her.

Before coming to Su Qingci to serve, Yan Xuanye had already ordered and warned them to serve her well, not to have any second thoughts, and not to make her angry.

"I don't want to wear the dress from Fengyuan. It has holes everywhere. If you don't know, you might think that Your Highness can't afford to buy clothes, so you choose to dress me in this brothel-style dress."

"Go and change me some clothes from Nanchang. I want the best material and the most exquisite style."

She really didn't want to wear the clothes of Fengyuan Kingdom. Putting on such clothes would not only make her lose her usual dignity and composure, but also mean that she had abandoned propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and would use her beauty to seek the favor of the person who was harming her.

However, she was deliberately taking out her anger on them.

She knew that her every move would be reported to Yan Xuanye by Lu Feng. Her goal was to make Yan Xuanye hate her, get tired of her, and then let her go quickly.

In response to her inexplicable temper, Lu Feng just said calmly, "I will prepare it right away. Madam, please take a bath first, and the clothes will be delivered later."

Su Qingci raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

Aren't these normal clothes?

It's despicable that they had to use something like this to trample on her dignity.

Su Qingci was soaking in the bath tub, playing with the flower petals in the tub out of boredom.

Outside the tent, Yan Xuanye was ordering people to search each tent, fearing that a few undercover agents or spies from Nanchang State might have sneaked in.

He had finally captured Su Qingci and didn't want any more accidents to happen.

Su Qingci had nothing to do, so she soaked in the bath for a while longer. Listening to the non-stop footsteps outside the tent, she felt a little annoyed. She got up and walked out of the bathtub, and without letting the maids dress her, she changed into a new dress.

There were two maids guarding the door of the tent. Su Qingci put on her outer robe and walked to the door to take a look outside, but the two maids immediately stopped her.

"Madam, you cannot go out without His Highness's permission."

Su Qingci snorted in his heart. Did he really treat himself like a pet bird? He couldn't even go out.

"I won't go out. I'll just lift the curtain and see what's going on outside," she said.

The two of them did not try to stop her, but they looked quite nervous, as if they were afraid that she would sneak away when they were not paying attention.

Outside the tent were a group of northern men wearing armor and holding weapons. Each of them looked extremely rough, tall and strong, and looked difficult to deal with.

There is absolutely no way to fight head-on, it seems... I can only use my wits to defeat him.

She thought of Lu Feng, who was also a Han woman and seemed to be highly valued by Yan Xuanye.

But if she was really a woman from Nanchang State, why would she surrender to Yan Xuanye?

I don’t know if he was threatened like her, or if he did it voluntarily.

If Lu Feng was also threatened and had to work for Yan Xuanye, perhaps they could form an alliance and work together to find a way to escape.

Moreover, Lu Feng seemed to be good at martial arts. As long as she could escape and take her letters and keepsakes to Puzhou City to report the news, they could be saved.

Not only Lu Feng, but also the female guards who kidnapped her together with Lu Feng.

She had to observe carefully to see who was the useful person and not alert the enemy.

Thinking of this, she lowered the curtain.

The two maids standing by her side exhaled as she moved.

These two maids were girls from Fengyuan Kingdom. They only knew a little Central Plains dialect with an accent. Yan Xuanye deliberately asked them to serve her.

He clearly was worried about her and had maids from Nanchang serve her, fearing that she would harbor delusions and instigate others to run away with her.

But if she were served by a maid from Fengyuan Kingdom, there would be no need to worry about her wanting to run away.

Not only was there a language barrier problem, but these maids from Fengyuan Kingdom would not listen to her at all. They were only loyal to Yan Xuanye.

Su Qingci lay on the couch and thought for a long time before she slowly fell asleep. However, she was not very sleepy in the first place, and she was in someone else's territory, so she did not sleep well.

When she was half asleep, she felt someone hugging her, and she dreamed of Lu Huan, so she had no idea that it was the enemy's embrace, and she even rubbed against it.

She hugged his strong waist and called softly, "Ziyi, why did you come back just now?"

The tenderness in his heart suddenly disappeared. Yan Xuanye lowered his eyes and looked at her coldly. Seeing that her brows were relaxed, as if she had dreamed of something happy, he became angry.

He held her jaw with his right palm and bit her red lips hard. When he heard Su Qingci's painful gasp, he gave up biting and started plundering frantically.

The gentleness in his eyes was gone, replaced by jealousy.

Su Qingci woke up suddenly. First, she was bitten hard, and then she was kissed all over. It was as if the oxygen between her lips and teeth had been robbed away, and she was almost suffocated by the kisses.

She kept struggling, but Yan Xuanye simply clamped her hands above her head, making her unable to move or resist.

Su Qingci groaned in pain, and when she felt her breathing getting weaker and weaker, Yan Xuanye finally showed kindness and spared her.

Su Qingci leaned against the corner of the bed and breathed deeply. Large amounts of air rushed into her nasal cavity and lungs. She rested for a while before she felt better.

Yan Xuanye, on the other hand, seemed to be fine. He looked at her with dead eyes, coldly admiring her ugly appearance of being in a state of disgrace and weakness.

Su Qingci didn't understand what was wrong with him. When Yan Xuanye was about to bully her again, she felt that her anger had reached its peak.

"Snapped!"

Yan Xuanye, who was about to pull her over and continue punishing her, was suddenly slapped hard on the left cheek.
