"There is only one man in the harem..." Lin Yan immediately put the blame on the emperor, and even if Zhao Yuan knew about it, he didn't dare to confront her.

"You're lying. Father is not like what you said. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, there is no need for him to say such things for an unknown palace maid!" Zhao Yuan's anger turned into an annoyed growl.

My father actually has such a ridiculous side, which is so different from the upright and majestic person in my mind who is high above the court. It is really hard to accept it for a while.

That’s fine, but it was heard by the woman in front of him, his daughter-in-law. How embarrassing it would be.

Feeling anxious, he pushed Lin Yan away, turned around and walked away. Lin Yan stood there in a daze.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Zhao Yuan was in a state of rage, and Xie Liuxu happened to come over. She heard that Lin Yan and the Thirteenth Prince were playing games outside, so she thought about it and came over happily.

He just happened to meet Zhao Yuan, who was full of evil fire.

……

Miao Yinhua almost swallowed the handkerchief in her hand. The next door suddenly became lively, which made her place seem particularly deserted and out of place. The maid surnamed Xie in the middle even deliberately talked happily about asking for water twice and the prince was very aggressive.

“It turns out that this silent Xie is my strongest competitor. I am the most embarrassed person in the entire palace now. I can’t wait and watch any longer. I must find a breakthrough from Lin Yan.” Miao Yinhua paced around the room. She originally wanted to wait and see before taking sides, but the situation now was too unfavorable for her.

"Zhuye, go and find out what Lin Yan from Xianyueyuan is doing now? Tell your sisters about this news. I don't believe that she won't be anxious after getting this news." Miao Yinhua really couldn't sit still anymore. In the end, she let Xie Liuxu become the big winner and she was so sick of it.

In the past, she was trying to protect herself in all her words and deeds, but now she is just like a fly circling around the prince.

Early in the morning, the Rui Palace was like water poured into hot oil, and everything was in chaos.

"Master Lin..." Zhiye was frowning and hesitant to speak! His mouth was so pouty that a urinal could be hung on it.

Lin Yan was puzzled. What a wonderful day! Ouch! My arms and waist felt sore and painful. These were the aftereffects of throwing snowballs hard yesterday.

I didn't want to move! But the condition of the branches and leaves was a little bad, so I forced myself to get up. "Tell me! What's the matter?"

"master!"

"It's okay, Zhiye is just overthinking it!" Green Tea stepped forward and interrupted Zhiye.

"Don't worry, just tell me and I'll judge." Lin Yan raised her arm, it hurt so much, she hoped that the Thirteenth Prince would not come to her again today to let her play with him. The concubine became a nanny, she would rather be a concubine who eats and drinks as much as she wants.

"Go ahead!" Lin Yan frowned and gave up on getting dressed. She looked at the pink dress prepared by Green Tea and felt a little reluctant to let it go. It was a pity to let that little brat dirty it.

"Green Tea, bring me that dark green cotton jacket."

"Master, the prince went to Master Xie's room to spend the night last night." Zhiye helped Lin Yan get out of bed and whispered in her ear.

"Oh! Be gentle, it hurts!" Although I don't have much affection for Zhao Yuan, why does my heart hurt when I hear Zhiye say that? I feel betrayed.

"Master, you don't care?" Zhiye's eyes widened in disbelief. How could the master still look so calm? He only cared about the pain in his arm.

"If he cares, he won't go to Xie Liuxu's room?" Lin Yan asked back! Finally, she sat comfortably in front of the dressing table.

"That won't happen!" Zhiye lowered his head and kicked his toes. He began to help Lin Yan with her hair and prepare to put on her makeup.

"That's enough. Wash up for me, my whole body aches. Green Tea, tell the kitchen to bring some delicious food, I'm starving." Lin Yan slowly stood up from the bed.

But suddenly I remembered something: "Zhiye, do you want to be with the prince..."

Zhiye was shocked and knelt down hurriedly: "Master, I don't have that intention. I absolutely don't have that intention. I just want to serve you well, and in the future, you will give me grace and let me leave the house or..."

"I heard that many personal maids are candidates for concubines. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!" Lin Yan also had a sudden idea.

Zhiye was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She wondered if her master would misunderstand that she was trying to seduce the prince and wanted to attack her.

I really don't have such an idea. In Prince Rui's Mansion, everyone tacitly knows that being a maidservant means that if I climb into the prince's bed, I will be dead soon. I only have one life, so I should cherish it.

"Master, I swear to God..." Zhiye was so scared that he knelt down with a bang and raised his finger.

The sound was so crisp that it made my knees hurt. Lin Yan was so scared that she squinted her eyes.

"Look how scared you are! It was just a joke! Green tea, ask the kitchen to serve some delicious food! Hurry, I'm starving!" Lin Yan didn't expect that her joke would make the maid swear to the sky.

Green Tea originally thought that her master would be disheartened, heartbroken and jealous after knowing this, but she did not expect her master to be unusually calm and even say such words to Zhiye.

I only wanted to eat delicious food, and I didn't know what words to use to describe my master. Forget it, I'll worry about it myself and go out to ask around. Fortunately, my master didn't misunderstand me. There's nothing wrong with being careful and cautious.

The branch climbed up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately...

What the master said made sense. The only thing that made people uncomfortable was the attitude of the people in the yard over there. They walked with a swagger and looked arrogant.

You're even comparing yourself with me. You were only favored for one night, and I heard that the prince left in the middle of the night. Why are you so proud?

The maid who was busy in the kitchen also began to curry favor with her master. She felt as if she had been marginalized overnight and was almost punished. She had better protect herself!

Lin Yan didn't think about these things. She just wanted to run away and keep a distance from Zhao Yuan. Moreover, Zhao Yuan had a strange temper and often got angry for no reason and would pinch her neck at any time.

By the time the princess arrives, I will still be a virgin, which will be a great life-saving talisman and the greatest support for my escape.

Lin Yan opened the wooden box on the dressing table. Inside were the ten South Sea pearls, about the size of her little finger and each one was round and smooth.

From Lin Yan's modern professional perspective, each of them is of top quality.

In fact, you can live a good life with a few hundred taels of silver, but this is only possible if you have someone to support you and don't get cheated by scammers.

Green Tea couldn't help but shook her head. Her master was so naive and ignorant of the world. As a maid, I felt really tired watching her.

But Zhiye's worries are not unreasonable. By following Master Lin, they will be branded with her mark. They will prosper together and suffer together.

"Master, I have something to say to you." Green Tea filtered the words over and over in her mind and spoke solemnly.

Lin Yan's expression also became serious. She put the pearls back into the box and looked at Green Tea seriously: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Green Tea knelt down straight, and the sound of her knees hitting the ground made Lin Yan tremble. Why do they like to kneel down at every turn?

"Please forgive my offense first, Master."

Lin Yan raised her hand to signal her to continue: "It's okay, go ahead."

“This servant knows that the prince likes the master very much now.

Although I was angered by my master several times, I have never really been angry with him.

But, Master, I still want to advise you that sometimes you should be more gentle and don't really get into trouble with the prince."

She paused here, looked at Lin Yan with a calm expression, and seemed to have made up her mind: "How many men's favors can last forever? I like you now, but who can guarantee how long this kind of love will last?

Children are the last guarantee for the long-term survival of the backyard. If the master does not take this opportunity to get pregnant with a little master early, then if the prince does not like the master anymore, what will the master do?

The master has no family, no backing, and a bad fortune says that if the prince doesn't like the master, all the servants in the mansion will neglect the master. Now, if you want to eat something, you can only watch others eat it.

Even if the new princess doesn’t attack the master, the master will still have a hard time, and everything he eats, wears and uses will change.”

"Besides, Master Xie has already gained favor with your help. If she gets pregnant first, even if the prince doesn't like her, her position in the palace will be secure.

If the master falls out of favor in the future, she will definitely step on him a few times, and no one in the mansion will be soft-hearted enough to help the master."

Thinking of a concubine that she used to serve, she continued, "If it's just like this, she can still survive.

However, the women in the backyard are all tigers. With the help of the prince, they can send poisoned wine and white silk at the very least, or beat them to death directly at the worst. It is not impossible. "

"Let me think about it, you get up first!" Lin Yan stepped forward to help Green Tea up, sat back on the stool, and took out the pearls again and rolled them up in her hands.

What Green Tea said makes a lot of sense. In ancient times, concubines were just toys that the powerful and wealthy used to reward at will. No one would care if they died.

When the princess entered the palace, she could not survive for more than one episode in the backyard. A concubine who was not favored was worse than an ordinary maid. She was also destined to be a star of misfortune.

She didn't want to share a man with so many women, nor did she want to be one of Zhao Yuan's concubines in his backyard, hanging around a man all day and competing with a bunch of women in his backyard. It was not like playing football.

After finally being reborn, it’s better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!

But after just a few days of comfortable life, how could I have lost my mind and forgotten the horror of this era? I touched my neck and felt a dull pain from the pinch marks.

You must never go against Zhao Yuan, and you must try to please him when necessary.

It's impossible to escape. If you are caught, death would be the least you can do.

That was why she was waiting, waiting for the new princess to come in, asking for grace, and leaving with honor.

So I have to speed up my plan to escape. Money, money, can't you just fly into my hands?

……

Green Tea breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that her master had taken her words to heart.

The red mark on the master's neck was so obvious that Green Tea was really worried about the master. He would not really live beyond this month! This was also the reason why she said those words to Lin Yan regardless of everything.

"Master! Dinner is here!" The little maid came in happily to report.

"Oh!" Lin Yan closed the makeup box and looked at the maid busy setting the table. She suddenly felt curious again.

He approached Green Tea and whispered, "Green Tea, you and Zhiye have been helping the prince change his clothes for a long time, right?"

Green Tea was puzzled. What does this have to do with eating? She nodded.

"Then, does the prince have any natural reaction?"

"What natural reaction?" Green Tea asked back in confusion.

"A natural reaction is a natural reaction!" Lin Yan didn't know how to explain it to her.

Green Tea was confused and shook her head. Did the master really understand? Was it because she had said it in vain?

"Forget it! Let's eat! Fill our stomachs first!" Lin Yan waved her hand, sat down at the table, and started eating a crystal clear shrimp dumpling.

"It really doesn't delay your meal at all!" Zhao Yuan's voice floated out from Lin Yan's head like a ghost, with a hint of blame in his voice.

Lin Yan immediately stood up nervously and swallowed the shrimp dumplings in her mouth. If she continued like this, she might not live for more than a month.

He stood up, bowed, and stood aside.

Zhiye hurriedly set the table, feeling much happier than Lin Yan. "Let you show off, the prince has come to our master's room again!"

Green Tea brought hot water and helped Zhao Yuan wash his hands and sit down. Stepping aside, Green Tea looked at her master and muttered in her heart: The master's ability is really something that others can't learn. He often makes the prince angry and walks away, but he never loses favor.

She is really beautiful. Others may not know, but she and Zhiye know very well that the prince has never touched her. She is already inferior to Xie Liuxu.

So, what exactly did the prince like about their master? Green Tea really couldn't figure it out.

"The food here is still the best!" Zhao Yuan sighed, glancing at Lin Yan who was well-behaved and ready for battle, still with her head down and no expression on her face.

Xie Liuxu was in a state of mixed feelings. She thought the prince had finally discovered her good side, but unfortunately, after turning her into a woman, he left without any lingering feelings and left in the middle of the night.

Feeling a little disappointed, she kept asking Xiao Cui to find out. It seemed that the prince had returned to the study and did not go to Lin Yan's room. Only then did she feel secretly happy until morning.

After breakfast, I heard that the prince had come to Lin Yan's room again. It was obvious that he was treating me as a substitute. I was so angry that my hands were shaking.

All good mood gone.

With a crackling sound, things in the room fell to the ground.

"Master, don't do this!" Xiao Cui hurried to close all the doors and windows. She had just been favored and she was already angry. If others knew about it, they would definitely take advantage of her. It was a case of previous convictions.

"Xiao Cui..." Xie Liuxu hugged her and started crying.

"Master, you are already one step ahead of the neighbor! This morning, all the servants were much more enthusiastic towards the people in our house. Take your time. The prince narrowed his eyes for a moment. You must keep up the good work. Slowly, the prince will find your goodness and really have you in his heart. Master, you should take care of your body now. As long as you are pregnant, Master Lin will not be as glorious as you."
