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

"No!" Lin Yan was feeling upset, and suddenly she remembered something: "Wait, let them all in, and bring a pot of Maoshan black tea."

Green Tea was puzzled, but still did as she was told.

"Hello, Sister Lin!" Xie Liuxu and Miao Yinhua walked into the house one after the other with smiles on their faces.

Sister! Lin Yan was a little embarrassed by this title. She was an only child. When did she have two younger sisters?

This is the bad thing about this large and deep mansion. A bunch of people like this will appear at any time just because of the male owner's love.

"A rare guest, a rare guest, please take a seat!" Lin Yan also received him with a smile.

In the past, I had asked Zhiye to tell Miao Yinhua to come over, but those were just polite words. I didn’t expect these people to actually come.

You can't just disappear every time you come, or you'll seem out of place, arrogant, and look down on everything.

I still have to live here for a while, so I decided to make friends with them instead of offending them. That's why I put down the things at hand and deal with them.

Green Tea served everyone a cup of black tea in a proper manner.

Miao Yinhua looked at the black tea with a bit of disdain. She had heard that recently they had made a new kind of pearl milk tea, which was good for beauty and skin care, and the Crown Prince and the Thirteenth Prince praised it highly!

I thought she would treat me with milk tea, but it turned out to be just a cup of ordinary black tea. She is such a shabby person. No wonder the prince stopped staying at her place after seeing how nice we are.

But she still has not fallen out of favor. The prince is unshakable and will visit Lin Yan whenever he is in the palace.

This was what made Miao Yinhua most indignant. She came here today to take a good look at what Lin Yan had done to the prince.

He kept staring at Lin Yan's every move. She didn't talk much, was not charming enough, and her every move was very proper. There was nothing special about her!

Lin Yan faced these two familiar people who were still strangers, or familiar strangers? There was really nothing in common. They each picked up their teacups and tasted their tea awkwardly.

Miao Yinhua put down the teacup and ordered the maid Erling behind her: "Oh! My waist is so sore! Erling, rub it for me quickly. Prince..., sister, do you have the same experience?"

Lin Yan almost knocked over the teacup with her shaking hands. She curled her lips. What kind of person is this? She is so arrogant after being favored for one night. She can say anything. How can I, a virgin girl, know? I can only smile awkwardly.

"Sister, you've been favored for half a year, why aren't you pregnant?" Miao Yinhua asked proudly.

"Haha! Don't be impatient about this. My sisters are lucky. They might get pregnant soon." Lin Yan's mouth was tight. She lowered her head to drink tea. I don't care about it. One by one, I drank the tea and left quickly.

Xie Liuxu was quiet, and then lowered her head to drink tea, looking around secretly. The furnishings in the room were ordinary, but extremely comfortable. There were several more heaters than in her own room, and the fruit snacks were more exquisite than in her own room. She put her hand on her abdomen, and really hoped that if she got pregnant, she could decorate the room like this. Maybe that was why the prince came to Lin Yan's room every day.

I heard that Miao Yinhua came here yesterday but was turned away, but was welcomed in the evening. I wonder if there is any connection between the two.

Miao Yinhua laughed: "Thank you for your good wishes, sister! If that day comes, I will be the first one to send you a red egg."

Lin Yan was speechless. What kind of person is that? Even if you have a grandson, it’s none of my business.

Afterwards, Miao Yinhua began to talk about pattern patterns and showed a small embroidery shed with a tree of crabapple flowers embroidered on it. Her embroidery skills seemed pretty good, at least better than her own.

Lin Yan looked at her hands awkwardly. She could hold a pen to write and do accounting, but she couldn't hold a needle to sew things. Her hands were simply horrible. The four-legged creatures were all light, and she could even embroider a flower into a centipede running around.

Xie Liuxu was a listener as usual, occasionally interjecting a few words, making it impossible to ignore her.

Miao Yinhua is a chatterbox. She is the one doing most of the talking, which is quite relaxing for a while.

The show ended when it was almost time for dinner.

After leaving the Crescent Moon Courtyard, Miao Yinhua couldn't help but complain to Xie Liuxu in a low voice: "You are so petty and don't know how to entertain guests. You didn't even invite us to have lunch."

Xie Liuxu smiled. "Sister, I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Do you really think she's stupid? If she turns her face away, Miao Yinhua might turn against her and say that she is slandering Lin Yan, pulling them closer together and isolating herself.

Miao Yinhua felt bored. She twisted her waist and waved her handkerchief in no hurry to go back to the house to warm up. Instead, she went to the back garden. It would be so boring to stay in the room with such a snowy scene.

"I'm so tired!" Lin Yan asked Zhiye to rub her shoulders. Just after she yawned, Green Tea came to report: "Master, Guard Cao asked me to tell you something."

"Tell me!" Who is Guard Cao? Lin Yan tried hard to recall, but she didn't know this person. She couldn't help but ask, "Who is Guard Cao?"

"My master, besides caring about food, can you also care about the interpersonal relationships in the mansion?" Zhiye couldn't help but say more.

"Okay! Let's start with Guard Cao. What does he want?"

Green Tea: "Guard Cao's full name is Cao Jinlai. The prince asked him to protect your safety. He said he would be your personal guard when you go out. I came to tell you."

"So..." Lin Yan finally understood.

"He is one of the four personal guards of the prince. He is very skilled in martial arts, and many maids in the mansion secretly like him. I hope that one day I will be honored and be rewarded with him." Zhiye gossiped with a shy smile.

"You're not one of them!" Lin Yan teased.

"Master..." Zhiye's face turned red with shyness.

Green Tea stood aside, covering her mouth and laughing.

"Got it! Green Tea, let Guard Cao come in so I can see him!"

"We are still missing a manager. I wonder who the prince will send." Lin Yan said to herself. It would be best if she could take the people around her to check out the store, so that she could settle the matter.

Green Tea went out and a man in black cloth came in.

Judging from visual observation, this person is about 1.75 meters tall, with very long hands and prominent joints on his fists, which should be because he has been holding weapons all year round.

His face was quite handsome, like a jade inlaid on a hat, and his lips were as rosy as if they were painted with rouge. He came in, bowed politely, and then stood aside with his head lowered, without showing any emotion.

"My humble servant greets Master Lin." He bowed his head and saluted.

"No gift."

As soon as he raised his head, his eyes met Lin Yan's. He found that Lin Yan was staring at him, and immediately turned his eyes away somewhat unnaturally.

"My safety will be in your hands from now on!" Lin Yan finally understood why so many maids liked him. If she could get him out of the palace, he would be the best partner for her escape!

Lin Yan smiled secretly in her heart. Isn't Zhao Yuan that annoying? If she has a chance, she can try to secretly seduce Guard Cao.

"After lunch I'll go out and look at the shops in Dongzhimen."

"Yes!"

Before she could savor the moment, Guard Cao bowed and left. It only took him a blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, she could do nothing now and could not say a word to him, otherwise, she would be thrown into a pig cage immediately.
