Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

That night, Meng Xiyue slept very uneasily. She dreamed that she returned to the modern era.

Every day she watched her mother standing at the window, looking forward to the arrival of her biological father.

This is the only thing she does every day, and this is the only thought she has, and she is willing to go crazy to achieve it.

Is this the relationship she wants?

She was very vague about her so-called biological father, so vague that she didn't even know what he looked like.

He only exists in his mother's mouth, not in their lives.

It's the same with or without him, maybe they would be better off without him.

When Meng Xiyue woke up, it was already noon. She rubbed her aching head.

"Miss, the second young lady and the others are here?"

"Huh? Who?"

Meng Xiyue's eyes were sleepy and she hadn't yet reacted to who Qianxiang was talking about.

"It's Miss Qingge, and the third and fourth girls."

As Asaka said this, she took some clothes and put them on her, "He came early in the morning and I couldn't get him to leave. He's sitting in the yard now."

Meng Xiyue frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong. What were the three of them doing coming to the palace alone?

When she finished packing and left the room, she saw the three of them sitting in the yard waiting.

"Yue'er."

When Meng Yun'er saw her coming out, she hurried to greet her.

Meng Qingge sat there with the temperament of a lady from a noble family. The third girl, Meng Zirong, who had always been Meng Qingge's follower, sat beside her, very cautiously.

"Why did you come to the palace by yourself? You didn't even tell me in advance."

Seeing them, Meng Xiyue was not unhappy. On the contrary, she even missed the days when they were in Qingyun City.

"Didn't Fifth Sister say that parents don't care about you? So, parents let us see how Fifth Sister is doing in the palace."

Meng Qingge sipped the tea in her hand gently, and after a long while, she continued speaking.

"It seems that my sister is not favored. Every courtyard in this palace is magnificent, but my sister's place is a bit shabby."

Simple? Meng Xiyue laughed. Although this courtyard was not considered the best in the palace, it was elegant and delicate, with every detail carefully crafted. How could it be described as simple?

Moreover, compared with the courtyard where they used to live in Qingyun City, it is many times better.

If she hadn't noticed the flash of jealousy in Meng Qingge's eyes, she would have really thought that she looked down on this yard.

"I am just a maid in the palace. How can I live in a good courtyard?"

"Maid, but I see that there are more than a dozen maids serving here at Fifth Sister's place. Which maid is treated so well?" Meng Zirong chimed in.

"This is how well the maids in the palace are treated."

Hearing Meng Xiyue say this, Meng Zirong pretended to be innocent and said, "In that case, we also want to come here to be maids."

After Meng Zirong finished speaking, Meng Qingge immediately raised her chin, her eyes drifting towards her, obviously waiting for her answer.

Hearing this, Meng Xiyue's face instantly turned cold.

"Sure, sign the contract first."

"Indenture?" Meng Zirong was shocked, as if he had never expected to sign an indenture.

"What's so strange about this? Every maid in every family signs a contract to sell herself. I also signed a contract to sell myself before I entered the palace."

"This..." Meng Zirong looked at Meng Qingge helplessly.

Although the palace is noble, they are also decent ladies. How can they sign a contract to sell themselves? If they can climb up, it will be fine. If they fail to win the favor of the prince, they will have to be slaves for the rest of their lives.

Meng Qingge glared at Meng Xiyue and said, "Then it's okay for us to stay here for a few days, right?"

"The suburbs are not far from here, why do you have to live in the palace?"

"We want to stay here with Fifth Sister for a while longer. Didn't Sister bring us to the capital just to accompany you?"

Meng Xiyue choked. She wanted them to accompany her, but she didn't want them to snatch the prince away from her.

"I am not the one who makes the decisions in this palace. There is a housekeeper, and Nanny Ji, Miss Yin. If you want to live in the palace, you must tell them and let them report to the prince."

As soon as Meng Xiyue finished speaking, a cute female voice rang out.

"Since you are Miss Meng's sister, you can stay here if you want."

Meng Xiyue raised her eyes and saw Yin Wumei approaching her with a hint of smile between her brows.

This is to laugh at yourself.

"Who is this?" Meng Qingge raised his eyelids, acting like a host.

"My name is Yin Wumei. I am a female official beside the Queen, and now I am the manager of the Prince's courtyard."

Female official, steward, Meng Qingge curled the corners of her lips, "After all, she is still a servant?"

Looking at her pretending to be noble and knowing what she didn't, Yin Wumei's mouth twitched. Where did this weirdo come from?

She took a deep breath and replied politely, "I will only serve the Queen and the Prince."

"Okay, no need to say so much. Since we can stay here, can you arrange a yard for us?"

Meng Qingge waved his hand.

"The other courtyards in the mansion have been in disrepair for a long time and have not been cleaned. They are not suitable for the young ladies to live in. It is injustice for the three young ladies to live with Miss Meng."

Yin Wumei said, looking at Meng Xiyue, "What do you think, Miss Meng?"

"Since Miss Yin has agreed, you can stay for two days if you want. This will save me from running out of the city."

Meng Xiyue looked at the yard and said, "There are three empty rooms there, no one lives there, sisters can live there."

"Okay." Meng Yun'er nodded in agreement.

But Meng Qingge covered her nose in disgust, "That room doesn't look spacious. Are you going to share the servants' room with us?"

"There is only one main room in this courtyard, and the other rooms are all the same size."

"Then give up your room and let your second sister live there."

Meng Zirong said immediately.

Meng Qingge also looked as if it was as it should be.

"That's my room. If you're not satisfied, you can go back to the courtyard outside the city. Every room there is spacious."

"you……"

Meng Qingge really wanted to say, let’s go back, but she remembered that she came here with a mission and this was not the time to be willful.

She turned to look at Yin Wumei, "I think the yard next door is great, why don't you clean it up and let us move in."

Looking at the direction of Meng Qingge's finger, Yin Wumei twitched his mouth again and said helplessly.

"That is the courtyard of the future princess. No one else can live there."

"The future princess, that means she hasn't arrived yet. We are guests of the palace. What's wrong with staying for a few days?"

The yard was very grand and she fell in love with it at first sight.

"As Miss Meng said, if you don't want to live in Mengxi Garden, you can go back to your own home. Do you want to live in other courtyards?"

Seeing how weird she was, Yin Wumei didn't bother to pay attention to her and turned around and left.

"Whatever her attitude, she is just a servant. When we meet the prince, I will make sure he punishes this lowly servant."

"She is the legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank Jingzhao Yinfu." Meng Xiyue replied lazily.
