I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Xiao Cui walked to the bedside helplessly and distressed. "Master, why are you so angry? Wasn't your purpose in sending the soup to the prince to get his attention? Now that your goal has been achieved, you should be happy!"

Xie Liuxu raised his head woodenly. What he was thinking was one thing, but being treated like this by the prince was another. In short, he felt uncomfortable and panicked.

Xiao Cui could only sigh in her heart and continued to persuade softly: "There is an old saying that goes, 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west, the situation changes. In terms of appearance, you are no worse than Lin Yan from the Crescent Moon Courtyard.

But she came before me and is the one who lived the longest. The worst thing about me now is that the prince pays attention to me, otherwise how could there be this scene of sending soup?

Next, not only must you not be discouraged, you must keep up the good work. As long as the prince discovers your good qualities, he will favor you. Then it will be her turn to bring you soup.

Now that the prince knows about us, we can go out and wander around if we have nothing to do. We might bump into the prince by chance. What do you think, master?"

Alas, I am also very disappointed. We are both maids, but I have to look at other people's favors. Where can I go? Everyone flatters me. Wherever I go, I have to accept people's favor and look at their faces.

Xiao Cui wants her master to be favored more than anyone else.

"That seems to be the case!" Xie Liuxu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. She used to be such a proud and arrogant person, but now she had to humbly bow down to a cheap woman who had no background and was doomed to be alone.

"Master, if we keep up the good work, there will surely be a day when we will be favored and the malicious Miao Yinhua next door will be pissed off to death." Xiao Cui said in a firm tone.

Xie Liuxu looked at Xiao Cui's expression and suddenly burst into laughter. "Pay more attention to the movements of the Crescent Moon Courtyard!"

Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief. Now that her master had figured it out, she would have hope of being proud one day. She bent down and began to clean up the messy floor.

.........

Lin Yan now turns a deaf ear to what is happening outside and focuses on serving Uncle Zhao.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Zhao Yuan. He promised not to torture her, but he started to torture her again.

The cup of water was either too hot or too cold, and most importantly, it all went into her stomach. She was now feeling very uncomfortable with her bloated stomach.

"Burp!" Lin Yan burped water in an ungraceful manner. She really wanted to splash the water in her hand onto his face regardless of the consequences.

Zhao Yuan didn't know whether he was really thirsty or had been tortured enough, but he didn't complain about the last glass of water and took a sip. "The water temperature is just right!"

Lin Yan no longer cared about his comments. Her fair face wrinkled into a ball: "I want to go to the toilet."

Zhao Yuan nodded!

Lin Yan ran away in a hurry.

Zhao Yuan's lips curled up and he smiled secretly. Why didn't he find Lin Yan so interesting before? He wanted to resist but didn't dare to, so he pouted angrily.

I felt so comfortable that I squatted in the bathroom and didn't want to go out. I didn't get any benefit, and I got myself into trouble. How could I feel depressed?

"Master..." Green Tea reminded.

"Got it!" Lin Yan came out dejectedly, thinking that Uncle Zhao had left out of boredom. Who knew that the uncle just moved to another place and lay down on his own couch.

"It's still warm here!" Zhao Yuan sighed with his eyes closed.

Lin Yan was slightly stunned. How could this person know that she had come out without even opening his eyes? But since that was the case, she might as well give it a try. At worst, if he disagreed, he would just leave. Then she wouldn't have to wait on him.

"Your Majesty, I have a little idea!"

"Oh, tell me about it!" Zhao Yuan opened his eyes calmly. The woman's eyes suddenly sparkled and moved.

"Look, I eat your food, drink your drinks, and use your things all day long. I feel embarrassed."

"Well, you finally have a guilty conscience!" Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Yan with amusement. How come this woman figured things out after a trip to the bathroom?

"Well, well, I want to go out and do some small business, is that okay?" Lin Yan planned to pawn the pearls Zhao Yuan gave her to a pawnshop for a current account, so that she would have the capital.

"Oh! What kind of business can you do?" Zhao Yuan continued to ask, suppressing his temper. In fact, he was a little angry in his heart. His woman didn't stay at home properly, but was only thinking about going out to show her face. Where would he put his face?

"I can make a special food, black pearl milk tea, which is especially delicious. Women can drink it to beautify their skin, and men can drink it to be energetic." Lin Yan got close to Zhao Yuan's head, intending to promote it in front of Zhao Yuan first, and then, with his name, she would definitely be able to open up the circle of powerful people in Beijing.

"Really?" Zhao Yuan raised his hand just enough to play with Lin Yan's hair. "It sounds good, but I don't know how it tastes. You have to make it and let me taste it first!"

"No problem, wait for me, I'll go to the kitchen now." Lin Yan didn't expect Zhao Yuan to be so easy to talk to. She was so excited that she completely ignored the cold tone and stern expression on Zhao Yuan's face when he spoke.

Lin Yan secretly calculated in her heart: It seems that as long as I know how to control myself, my life will be very easy in the future. She happily took the maid to the kitchen, and the cook was shocked.

Lin Yan explained her purpose. The cook immediately understood and prepared all the ingredients Lin Yan needed, then left and enthusiastically closed the kitchen door.

While Lin Yan was busy in the kitchen, Old Thirteen and Miss Sun Xiaoguo, the daughter of Duke Yu, arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion one after another.

"Third brother! I'm here!" Old Thirteen ran over excitedly. Zhao Yuan was slightly stunned. This kid was too fast! He had only been home for less than an hour.

"Welcome! Have you brought your rations?" Zhao Yuan asked bluntly. He was planning to consummate his marriage with Lin Yan tonight, but he didn't expect this guy to come and interfere. He really didn't want to see him.

"I brought it! But you can't be stingy. You must let your precious concubine play with me for a while." Old Thirteen smiled and took out a blue purse from his sleeve and shook it.

Zhao Yuan's eyelids twitched: "What does this kid want to do? We must find a way to get rid of him."

"Since you know that she is my precious concubine, how could I agree to lend her to you to play with me. Besides, my concubine is your sister-in-law after all. Isn't it inappropriate for you to talk like this?" Zhao Yuan said seriously.

"I know, don't worry, I'm not going to eat your concubine, why are you so stingy that you won't even let me see her? I just asked her to play snowballs with me, look how nervous you are." Old Thirteen said. "I just think your concubine is interesting... I brought all my personal guards with me."

Zhao Yuan's eyelids twitched: "Why? Are you thinking about her..."

The father-in-law who was serving outside stood at the door, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yuan raised his eyes and asked.

The eunuch came in hurriedly: "Your Highness, Miss Sun Xiaoguo from Duke Yu's Mansion wants to see you!"

"Okay! Let her come in quickly." Zhao Yuan laughed and glanced at Old Thirteen, ready to watch his fun.

Old Thirteen frowned, stood up and ran behind the screen in the study: "Third brother, I'll hide for a while, help me get rid of her!"

"Why should I help you like this? She's your fiancée. Spend more time with her now so that we can have a deeper relationship in the future!"

"At such a young age, you're even more nagging than the housekeeper. Whoever wants to marry you can do so. I don't want to agree! If you don't help me, I will go to the emperor and tell him about you, saying that you bullied me." The Thirteenth Prince pouted, looking so annoyed. He had finally thrown a tantrum and gotten his father to agree to let him go out and play for a few days, but how come that unlucky guy found out?

Zhao Yuan's eyelids twitched and he pursed his lips in silence. What kind of people are these? It seems that they can't be sent away for a while. If she just wants to play snowballs with him, he can still consider letting Lin Yan play with him for a while.

"Hello, Prince Rui! Sorry to bother you." Sun Xiaoguo bowed politely. Although he was only twelve years old, he was like a little adult, doing things in a methodical manner. It was a troublesome thing to have him in his room.

However, based on the principle of "a friend's death is better than my own", Zhao Yuan decided to help Sun Xiaoguo.

"Miss Sun, why did you decide to come to my house today? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Everyone is betting on your concubine. Although I am not talented, I also want to save some pocket money. Can I have a chat with your concubine?" Sun Xiaoguo expressed his purpose in a clear and loud voice.

This made Zhao Yuan different from Old Thirteen who was hiding behind the screen.

Zhao Yuan pursed his lips and smiled secretly: This time, Old Thirteen is being sentimental. But these two really look like a couple, and they are both interested in my concubine.

Old Thirteen, who was hiding behind the screen, suddenly felt very uncomfortable. It felt like he was the one who got tricked. The other party was not coming for him at all this time. He didn't know why, but he felt a little lost.

"Humph! Logically speaking, since you've already asked me, I'm embarrassed to refuse you, but my concubine is busy in the kitchen right now, and I don't know when she'll be done!"

"It's okay. I don't have anything to do. I just ask you to allow me to wait for her here."

"It's not a big deal. De Fuzi, please sit down and pour tea for Miss Sun."

Sun Xiaoguo then noticed that there was a cup of tea on the seat next to him. It was obvious that someone had just been there and left at some point, but the cup on the table had not been taken away yet.

Old Thirteen was speechless. Why didn't this woman leave when she came? Should he hide in there or go out?

It's a dilemma.

Sun Xiaoguo is a well-known villain who hangs around in the big mansion all year round. She is also the future Princess Thirteen of the Prince's House and is taught by the wife of Duke Yu every day.

Such things have happened many times. Since Prince Rui did not drive him away, it means that either the visitor has left or has hidden away.

Who cares? Just achieve your goal. I just heard the maid telling me that the life and death of a concubine had caused a sensation in the whole capital, and my fiancé also participated in the betting.

His hair hadn't even grown out yet, so he might have been tricked by his brothers. That's why he hurried over here to find out what was going on. After all, fate was something mysterious, and no one could predict it accurately.

The Thirteenth Old Man stood behind the screen with a depressed look on his face. He was the one who came here first, so why did he have to act like a thief now? She, on the other hand, was sitting comfortably on a chair, drinking tea and chatting.

Zhao Yuan felt extremely amused in his heart, and suddenly thought of his greedy concubine. Her purpose in making Laozai milk tea was to open a shop outside. It would be better to do it today.

Glancing around, these two guys are just right, why not start collecting money from them?

This would satisfy her wish and prevent her from showing up in public, killing two birds with one stone. It would make up for what I had just done to her.

Zhao Yuan was quite satisfied with his idea. He could invite other princes and their families to come tomorrow. Each of them was a big fat sheep. The more he thought about it, the better it was.

Zhao Yuan decided to promote Lin Yan to a concubine with a title. From now on, there will be one more concubine Lin in the mansion.

"De Fuzi, go and see if Aunt Lin is ready. If she is, ask her to bring the food to the flower hall in front. There are two diners waiting to taste the special delicacies she made herself." Zhao Yuan ordered.

"Is there another one?" Sun Xiaoguo asked back.

"Come out, Old Thirteen. Miss Sun is not interested in you." Zhao Yuan shouted with a smile.

Old Thirteen had no choice but to come out from behind the screen, pinching his nose. "Third brother, you are so mean!"

"How am I not nice enough? Did I promise you anything?"

Old Thirteen thought about it and it seemed so! It was also very uncomfortable to stay behind the screen all the time. He walked out reluctantly.

"By the way, you also know that my family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. You can't eat my food for free!" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Third brother..., you are even more stingy than the prince." The Thirteenth Brother was prepared. He took out a wallet from his sleeve and put it on the table.

“This is my meal money!”

Sun Xiaoguo had not expected that the Rui Wang Mansion would treat guests in such a way. He was asked to pay for the meal on his first visit. Seeing that Old Thirteen had become accustomed to it, he opened his eyes wide with disbelief.

Should I leave or stay? Sun Xiaoguo was a little hesitant.

Prince Rui also noticed her hesitation and said, "Miss Sun, this is your first time here, so I'll treat you to this meal."

Sun Xiaoguo grinned. From now on, no matter what, he could not easily approach Prince Rui, as if he had entered a den of thieves.

I don't know what rare food his concubine made that made him dare to ask for money so unscrupulously. He is not only stingy, but also mercenary. He doesn't have the bearing and style of a prince at all. There is really no harm without comparison. He is far from his own Thirteen.

Old Thirteen kept glancing at Sun Xiaoguo, fearing that she would criticize him again. But today, she was only focused on the tea, and while she was relieved, she also felt uncomfortable.

He pretended to be old and straightened his chest.

Zhao Yuan's eyes were always on Old Thirteen. His performance was so interesting.

Lin Yan suddenly received news that there were two diners waiting to taste the food, and she looked puzzled.

The milk tea with black pearls had a pleasant aroma. After taking a sip, it still had that familiar taste, and it felt like traveling back to the modern times. Thinking of this, many ideas came to her mind. As long as she borrowed Zhao Yuan's help, she would definitely make a lot of money. She couldn't help but laugh out loud with pride.
