I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, she went back to her room. The lady asked her and Dingxiang Ziwei to sit down.

"Madam, there is no such rule. I am a servant and cannot sit down with the master." Ding Xiang said hurriedly.

Ziwei also said, "Madam, this is absolutely not allowed. I'd better go outside and eat with everyone."

"By the way, Yu'er is no longer a slave, let her eat with you."

After Ziwei finished speaking, she walked outside and Dingxiang followed her out.

Cheng Yu stood where he was and looked at his two sisters who walked out.

"Yu'er, please sit down. I have something to ask you."

Cheng Yu said, "Madam, please ask."

"The prince said that it was you who begged for mercy, so he took some time to get all the maids accompanying me to come out. Is this true?"

Cheng Yu didn't know why the lady asked this.

It was indeed a favor she asked for.

She nodded.

Only then did Zhao Rulan burst into laughter.

"I see that the prince is interested in you, but I don't think you would agree."

Her brother would naturally marry someone of equal social status. If he took a fancy to Cheng Yu, he would definitely take her home as a concubine. Given Cheng Yu's personality, she would never dare to agree.

"Madam, I have no desire for the prince at all."

Cheng Yu just sat down and immediately stood up again.

"I didn't say anything to you. Don't worry, I know you don't want to be a concubine. If he dares to bully you, I will definitely stand by you and protect you."

Cheng Yu felt relieved.

She also thought that Zhao Rulan wanted to be the prince's lobbyist and persuade her to enter the palace and become the prince's concubine.

The prince was indeed a good man, but he wasn't good enough to make her a concubine.

The prince will definitely get married in the future. It is impossible for a man, especially an ancient man who has been eroded by the bad habit of having three wives and four concubines, to be with one person for his entire life.

Even if it does exist, it is extremely rare.

Cheng Yu would not think that a man who likes her would be loyal to her all his life.

She doesn't have that confidence.

"Yu'er, tell me, what are your future plans?"

After Cheng Yu sat down, she served food to Zhao Rulan and talked about her plans and intentions.

"...I just want to open a shop and do some small business. After my brother gets married, I want to see if my grandmother is willing to come out. If she is willing to follow me, I will serve her filially."

"Taozi said she wanted to stay with me. Please allow me to do so."

About Cheng Bin and Ding Xiang.

The story of Zhang Yuanjie and Zhu'er.

They are just some small things, Cheng Yu said. Zhao Rulan listened and didn't take it to heart at all.

Hearing that it was all about her worrying about other people, Zhao Rulan asked:

"Have you never thought about yourself? Are you not planning to get married?"

"There are no outsiders here. Tell me what kind of man you want in the future. I will definitely help you find one with a good family background."

There is no woman who will not get married. Zhao Rulan is worried that Cheng Yu will be deceived by a man outside.

Cheng Yu knew that the eldest lady might want to help her find a husband, so as to repay her for taking care of the young lady during this period of time and finding connections to rescue the eldest lady.

If she didn't say it, the lady would definitely be worried about it.

Cheng Yu said, "Madam, to be honest, I don't mean that I don't want to get married. I just want to find an honest man who treats me well and I am happy in my heart. It is enough for the two of us to live a good life together."

Zhao Rulan said: "I'll help you think about this matter."

"Yu'er, when a woman gets married, it's like a new life. It's right for a woman to have her own ideas about marriage."

"But don't easily believe the sweet words a man says. You must find out more about his family background and the kind of people his parents are."

Cheng Yu: "Yes, Madam is right, Yu'er has remembered it all."

"Come, let's eat."

Cheng Yu nodded and ate with the lady.

The wet nurse who originally fed the young lady also came out, but after Yan Jie'er drank the milk powder bought by Cheng Yu, she was very disgusted with the wet nurse. Besides, the wet nurse had been imprisoned for several months and had long been weaned.

Zhao Rulan told Cheng Yu where she bought the milk powder. She thought that she would let Sister Yan eat milk powder in the future.

If you want to buy milk powder, tell Li Niangzi and Taozi so that you can get away with it.

But Zhao Rulan is not someone you can easily fool.

Cheng Yu said that she made it herself. She used to buy it, but it was expensive, so she later bought milk and made it herself.

Cheng Yu bought some extra milk a month ago. Otherwise, if he just took milk powder from the system store and suddenly took it out, it would be discovered by Madam Li and Taozi.

Cheng Yu can do a lot of things, and when she said this, the lady didn't doubt it.

There was no need for her to go to Li Niangzi or Taozi to question them about the milk powder.

Doesn't this mean you don't trust Cheng Yu?

Zhao Rulan now has absolute trust in Cheng Yu.

Zhao Rulan said that from now on she would buy milk powder from her, and the price would be double the original price.

Look, look at the generosity of the lady.

Most customers will bargain when buying milk powder.

Not only did the lady not bargain, she even raised the price.

Cheng Yu was very happy.

Not long after lunch ended, the carriage from Prince Jing's mansion arrived, and along with it came the Crown Prince.

All I saw was the lantern with the three big characters "Prince Jing's Mansion" hanging in front of the carriage, which looked so majestic and noble.

The Jingwang Mansion became more prestigious because the Crown Prince had won many battles and made outstanding contributions.

Zhao Shiyan got off the horse and walked straight into the gate of the courtyard, feeling as familiar as if he had returned to his own home.

Dingxiang was putting makeup on the lady in the house, while Ziwei was preparing the clothes she would wear later.

After being released from prison, he did not go back to the palace directly, but had to dress up the lady properly. Even if she was getting divorced, she had to appear neat and tidy when returning to the palace and could not go back in a shabby state.

Cheng Yu was holding Yan Jie'er in the yard. When he thought that they would all leave soon, Cheng Yu felt a little reluctant.

I heard someone shouting, "Hello, Young Master."

Cheng Yu looked up and saw Zhao Shiyan walking towards her.

"His Majesty is well."

"The lady is cleaning up inside the house, it will be ready soon."

Zhao Shiyan nodded and stood in front of Cheng Yu. The servants around him left automatically, and Yan Jie'er was also taken away by Taozi.

"Will you come back to the palace with me?" He asked in a low voice, "It's not easy to do things outside. I won't treat you badly when I return to the palace."

Cheng Yu chuckled, "What the prince asked is what the eldest lady asked just now. Yu'er is doing very well outside now. If she can't get along well in the future, she will ask the eldest lady for help."

Zhao Shiyan raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you come to me? You and I are not strangers now, right?"

Cheng Yu didn't know why he asked this.

She lowered her eyes.

Zhao Shiyan sighed softly, "Why didn't you accept the things I asked Changfeng to give you?"

It would have been better if he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Cheng Yu just remembered, "My Lord, those things are too valuable. I can't accept them."

That is not an ordinary object, it is a jade pendant.

It also has his last name on it.

This jade pendant with words on it, especially one given to a woman, is basically a token of love. It would be strange if she dared to accept it.
