Yi Xin as a concubine

Xin Baoer was awakened by a palace maid.

In a daze, I saw a woman bending over and standing at the head of my bed with her head lowered. I was so scared that I sat up with a start.

I got up too quickly and felt a little dizzy, and almost fell back into the quilt.

"Girl, are you okay?" The woman seemed concerned but actually asked with disdain.

After she recovered, Xin Baoer could see the woman in front of her clearly. She was wearing a light pink palace maid's costume and was neatly dressed. She was undoubtedly a palace maid.

But Xin Baoer still asked softly: "Who are you?"

"I am a damned servant. I frightened the young lady. I am the maid assigned to take care of you."

The voice was neither humble nor arrogant, but it made people feel uncomfortable listening to it. Xin Baoer was a person who was very sensitive to other people's emotions, so she nodded slightly and then looked at her with a smile.

"I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no sound in the room. I... I..." The little palace maid became more and more nervous under Xin Baoer's calm gaze, and the tone of her voice was not as formal as at the beginning.

"Don't be nervous, what's your name?" Xin Baoer still smiled and asked very gently.

"My lady, my name is... Vanilla."

The young palace maid was still a little nervous. She didn't know why. The person in front of her looked delicate, thin and weak, and had no aggressiveness at all.

But she just sits there casually, with clear eyes, a calm and peaceful temperament, looking at you with a smile, which makes people feel ashamed for no reason and unconsciously hide all the dark and dirty thoughts.

The little palace maid shook her head, suppressed the strange thoughts in her mind, and bowed her head respectfully waiting for her new master to lecture her.

"Xiangcan, we are quite predestined. When I was at home, my personal maid was called Lancao."

Vanilla smiled reservedly and politely.

"So in the next month, let's take care of each other. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Xin Baoer smiled as kindly as she could, and there was even inquiry and comfort in her eyes, but Vanilla felt a little cold on the back of her collar, and her legs went weak and she knelt down with a plop.

"Yes." He responded with a trembling voice. He didn't dare to say another word. He just knelt there and nodded continuously.

At this moment, Xin Baoer felt that she might have some dark thoughts.

When she was at the Xin family, the family lived in harmony and peace. She felt like she was living in warm water every day, immersed in love from the inside out. She could not have any bad emotions except joy and gratitude.

The Xin family cured her fear and anxiety, allowing her to gradually move from a person with severe social anxiety to someone who fits in with the crowd in just a few months.

But it was not until today that she realized that the tragic experiences in her previous life had eventually become an indelible scar in her heart. This scar had never been healed, it had simply learned to hide, or found suitable soil for it to hide.

It hides when she is calm and peaceful, but once she is provoked and threatened, it will break out of the ground like a monster out of a cage, full of dark and evil aura.

Xin Baoer looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground in a daze, and suddenly smiled. It was not the curved smile as before, but more like a sign of release, struggle, and confession.

The little palace maid was so amused by Xin Baoer's laughter that she couldn't even keep her kneeling posture. She collapsed to the ground, not daring to even breathe.

Xin Baoer laughed enough, pulled her stiff cheeks, and turned into the gentle and quiet girl again.

"Get up, it's time for dinner, what's the meal plan?"

Xin Baoer asked in a calm tone. Since she had already seen the most evil side of him, she was too lazy to pretend anymore.

Xin Baoer doesn't mind scaring this kind of person who is so arrogant but can't see her own identity. If this can make her behave herself in the next month and not hold her back, it would be a good idea.

"Reply... Miss, unless there are special circumstances, we eat at the charity hall. If it is late or you are sick, you can ask me to get it back." When Xiangcao heard Xin Baoer's question, she did not dare to be perfunctory and answered respectfully.

"We just got here and we don't know anyone. If we ask for special treatment at this time, we'll become sitting ducks. Let's go together and you lead the way." Xin Baoer stood up quickly and took care of herself while talking.

"Yes," Vanilla replied.

Because it was lunchtime, there were quite a lot of people coming and going on the road, some in groups, some alone, and most of them were talking and laughing.

Xiangcao seemed to be unaware of the things around her. She carefully held the lantern and led the way for Xin Baoer. The newly-married master and servant walked quietly towards the charity hall.

"Bao'er, it really is you. I looked like you from a distance. Luckily I hurried a few steps, otherwise I would have missed you."

Zhao Xian trotted over and said happily, then looked around and saw only a palace maid following him. He didn't see anyone else, so he frowned and asked.

"Why are you alone? Are your roommates difficult to get along with? Do they bully you?"

Seeing her new best friend's serious face and the look of eagerness to stand up for her, Xin Baoer's heart, which had been occupied by the gloom, gradually warmed up.

"No, I'm not that easy to bully. I just overslept. Fortunately, Vanilla called me, otherwise I would have gone hungry tonight."

Xin Baoer smiled and held Zhao Xian's hand, and with her other hand she tried to calm her down. In the end, she made her laugh so she let go.

"Your name is Vanilla, right? Let me tell you, Bao'er is not in good health. You have to take good care of her from now on. If she gets sick, you will suffer."

The way Zhao Xian scolded people was so fierce and aggressive that it was not intimidating at all and made people laugh instead.

But Vanilla didn't dare to laugh. She raised her head and quickly glanced at Xin Baoer, who had been silent all night, and answered "yes" very obediently.

"Your little maid is quite obedient, but mine is not bad either, and her name is nice too, Yingge." Zhao Xian was very satisfied with Xiangcao's tact and turned to talk about his own maid.

Xin Baoer looked around and asked in confusion, "Where is your little maidservant?"

"I asked her to go to Lingxiuyuan to look for Ayu. With her cold personality, if I don't look for her, no one will be willing to have dinner with her."

"Thank you!" As soon as Zhao Xian finished speaking, Wei Yu's cold voice came faintly.

Zhao Xian stuck out her pink little tongue in a funny way, pretending to be pitiful, and looked at Wei Yu with resentment. If you didn't know, you would have thought that she was dumped by Wei Yu.

Xin Baoer was amused by her own wild thoughts.

"Ayu, don't blame Xian'er. She knew to send someone to look for you. We were standing next to each other, but she didn't even call me."

After saying this, he looked at Zhao Xian with an even more aggrieved attitude.

Being stared at by the beauty with such grievance, Zhao Xian felt goose bumps all over his body and hurriedly explained.

"I didn't look for him anywhere. I went there in person, but someone left first and didn't even think of waiting for me."

Zhao Xian was halfway through his speech when he miraculously reacted and began to fight back in a tea-like manner.

Wei Yu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth as he watched the two of them talking back and forth, acting endlessly.

"What's wrong with you two? Are you addicted to acting?"

"I can't help it. In the less than two hours since we separated, I have learned a new skill to survive here - acting."

Zhao Xian's originally joking tone gradually became weak, and his tone was full of genuine grievance and helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yu's eyes turned cold.

"It's only the first day and I'm already exhausted. There's still a month left, how am I going to get through it?"

Zhao Xian leaned softly on Xin Baoer, and his expression could only be described as having lost all hope in life.

Xin Baoer rubbed Zhao Xian's head like an older sister, and looked at Wei Yu. Seeing that she also looked annoyed, she knew that Wei Yu's experience was not very good either.

She looked at the three palace maids standing together and calmly ordered, "You three go to the dining hall and prepare dinner first. We will be there soon."

"But..." Zhao Xian's maid Yingge was about to say something when Xiangcao, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, forcibly pulled her away.

Xin Baoer watched the three people walk away whispering to each other, smiled indifferently, then pulled her two friends to sit down at a stone table not far away.

"It seems that the first meeting is not a pleasant one!"

Zhao Xian nodded dejectedly when he heard that, and the impatience in Wei Yu's eyes deepened.
