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

Most of the maids who were favored by this lady had different fates in the future.

Or they are released when they reach the age of 24 or 5.

Or she could stay and marry someone to be a housekeeper.

Some of them become mistresses, who can serve the mistress and win her favor.

Cheng Bin saw that Dingxiang was so beautiful that he was sure to keep her for the master of the Lu family.

He didn't dare to think too much.

Cheng Yu looked at his brother and said, "None of the maids in front of our eldest lady will become concubines."

"In the future, you should find a decent family to marry. Being a concubine means you can't raise your own children. That's not possible."

Cheng Yu was just looking for an excuse to tell his brother this.

After talking for a while, I heard hurried footsteps coming from the front.

"Yu'er, Yu'er, the prince is leaving soon."

The one who called her was Dingxiang.

"Sister Ding Xiang, isn't the prince going to have lunch at the Lu family today? The mistress told us in advance yesterday, and she bought some good ingredients this morning."

Ding Xiang stood steadily, but her eyes glanced at Cheng Bin who was standing next to Cheng Yu, and then looked at Cheng Yu.

"He said he had some official business to attend to and had to hurry back to the troops."

"Then you call me, this is..."

Ding Xiang whispered, "The Madam asked me to tell you something. I don't know what it means, but she just said that the prince will be leaving soon, so you can rest assured."

Dingxiang didn't know what this was about.

But Cheng Yu was happy.

It’s still the lady who knows her and understands her…

"Brother, aren't you familiar with Dingxiang? How come you didn't even bother to say hello to her after seeing her?"

Cheng Bin was not that embarrassed at first, but he just heard his sister say that she wanted to marry Ding Xiang to him.

Why is it so hard to think about these words and this matter?

When I thought about it, I felt extremely uncomfortable, as if I had the same thought.

"Hello, Miss Dingxiang."

Cheng Bin shouted hesitantly and with a bit of stuttering.

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, when did you become a stutterer? You didn't talk to me like this before."

Cheng Bin's face turned even redder.

Look at the way Dingxiang looks at her brother, no one dislikes her. She will ask later if Dingxiang can really marry Cheng Bin, and let Cheng Bin follow the eldest lady in the future.

Then they, brother and sister, can be together.

As for her father, we'll think of a way later.

Cheng Yu left with Ding Xiang. As the prince was leaving, the lady prepared some things for him, such as clothes, shoes, knee pads, and some hats and socks to keep warm.

When the two of them went over, the lady was calling Ziwei to pack up those things.

"Brother, don't think I'm nagging. If mother were here, she would have prepared these things for you a long time ago. Now that mother is not here to help you, you don't even think about getting married. You keep putting it off. When will you be able to settle down?"

Zhao Shiyan said softly: "Don't worry about my marriage. I came here today and saw that you are doing well. I have nothing to worry about."

Cheng Yu had just stayed in the house for a while, but was frightened by the prince's words and ran out.

I didn't hear what the lady and the prince said afterwards.

But now listening to what the prince said, it seemed as if the lady said nothing and the prince knew nothing.

She suddenly became a little anxious.

If Zhao Rulan wanted to leave the Lu family smoothly, it would be impossible for her to do it on her own.

When necessary, we have to borrow the help of the prince.

Even if the prince cannot take action now, he still needs to know what kind of people the mother and son of the Lu family are. What they are used to doing is deceiving people.

Zhao Rulan didn't say anything else. In fact, she was afraid that she would cry if her brother cared too much about her, so she pretended and called Dingxiang over.

"Lilac, come with me to the sewing room and take a look at Ziwei. She is so slow in preparing such a small amount of things."

Cheng Yu wanted to follow, but she saw Zhao Shiyan looking at her.

That means, with scrutiny...

After Zhao Rulan disappeared, Zhao Shiyan sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, and saw that it seemed to be out of water.

Zhao Rulan was talking to her brother while the maids and servants were in the outer room.

At this time, Cheng Yu and Ding Xiang also came. Ding Xiang followed the lady to the sewing room, leaving Cheng Yu alone.

"Pour some water..."

The man's indifferent voice came.

Cheng Yu quickly stepped forward and poured a glass of ice water. This was a tea drink prepared in the small kitchen. Ice cubes were added to the brewed tea. It tasted cool and was very refreshing.

"My Lord, please have some."

"I asked you to take good care of the lady. Answer me, but did you take good care of her..."

"My Lord, I..."

What happened? Why did she feel her legs go weak and she wanted to kneel down?

There is no better way to describe Zhao Shiyan than being intimidating without even getting angry.

"Tell me the truth." Zhao Shiyan said, "You have very little time. The lady will be out soon."

"The old lady is a fool, Lu Zhaowen is a scumbag, their family is so poor that they have to eat the dowry of the eldest lady, and the scumbag Lu has a mistress outside and wants to bully the eldest lady, but the eldest lady is not afraid, she bravely fought back..."

What Cheng Yu said was really quick and concise.

Zhao Shiyan frowned, "This Lu family really knows how to bully people."

"My Lord, you shouldn't have brought any gifts for the old lady this time. They are all so expensive. It's really cheap for her."

Zhao Shiyan stared at Cheng Yu with deep eyes, as if he was observing her, or thinking about something.

"Why are you afraid of me?"

"Your family is in the palace. If you follow me, you can go back to the palace, and when you give birth to a boy or girl, you can become a concubine. It will be better for you to stay in the palace for a long time and be with your family, isn't it?"

Why is this guy still thinking of making her his concubine?

Cheng Yu did not dare not to answer. Instead of pretending not to answer, it would be better to just speak up.

I thought that the prince was not the kind of person who would force others to do things.

"I am just a servant. It is my honor to have your attention. But I really don't want to be a concubine. If everyone is like you, that would be the best. But who can guarantee that the future mistress is kind and generous? Another thing is that I will only marry someone I like, even if that person is a beggar on the street, I am willing to do that."

Zhao Shiyan raised his eyebrows with a hint of mischief.

"You can marry a beggar on the street, but you have to choose carefully when choosing a noble official."

Cheng Yu didn't understand and looked up.

"I don't like any high-ranking official..."

Zhao Shiyan snorted, "You are blind. I think you might as well dig out your beautiful eyes."

How cruel! He tried to dig out her eyes as soon as she opened her mouth.

Cheng Yu closed his eyes subconsciously.

Fortunately, at this time, I heard the voice of the lady coming out.

"I told you yesterday to prepare in advance, but it seems you forgot about it again."

It happened that at this moment, Zhao Shiyan spoke in a deep voice, but his voice seemed a little low.

He approached Cheng Yu and whispered in her ear, "Bring back all the things I sent to the old lady, and bring them back intact. And tell me, I said so."

It was visibly that Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly lit up and his spirits were high.

"Yes, Your Majesty."
