That evening, the nanny beside Concubine Liu led two people to Jingqing Palace.

When she saw Qiao Shinian and Wen Jiu coming out together, the maid smiled and said, "This old servant greets His Highness the Thirteenth. Today, this old servant has come to pass on a message from the Imperial Concubine."

"What?" Wen Jiu asked.

The nanny cast her eyes on Qiao Shinian and said respectfully, "The queen said that the song Miss Qiao sang that night was very good. She had never heard it before and didn't know that Miss Qiao had such a talent. So she wanted to ask Miss Qiao to teach this dance and song to the dancers in the palace."

"I am short of manpower and I am afraid I will reject the imperial concubine's kindness." Wen Jiu said coldly.

The nanny was in no hurry to leave. She just smiled and looked at Wen Jiu with a respectful attitude: "Your Highness, please rest assured. We are responsible for the girl's safety. The imperial concubine said that it is not in vain for the girl to work hard. She will pay her fifteen taels of silver a day as a teaching fee until she teaches the dancers."

Qiao Shinian looked at the kind-looking man in front of him. To be honest, judging a person by his face is the fastest way. However, when his face cannot tell whether he is good or bad, he can only rely on his own observation.

She wanted to say that this nanny looked like a good person, but how could an old woman who had lived in the palace for so long, and seemed to be the imperial concubine's confidant, be a good person!

Fifteen taels of silver a day, that’s one hundred and fifty taels of silver in ten days. This imperial concubine was not stingy and she also solved her own safety problem.

The conditions seemed very good, but based on the current relationship between Wen Jiu and the imperial concubine, she didn't believe that there was no trap.

"I told you, she is my personal maid. If she leaves, who will I ask to serve me? Don't tell me you want to send someone to me. I only want her." Wen Jiu waved his sleeves, "Chunxue, see you off."

"Your Highness Thirteen, the Imperial Concubine also said that Miss Qiao has become very popular and is coveted by many young masters. You still have to consider Miss Qiao. Are you sure you can protect her all the time?

The Imperial Concubine admired Miss Qiao's skills, so she wanted to ask her to teach. By the time the dancer had learned, the young masters' interest would have almost faded."

Wen Jiu turned around and said, "Chunxue, see the guest off."

"Madame Li, please go back." Chunxue took two steps forward and acted as if to see the guest off.

Nanny Li's smile remained unchanged. "I am sorry to bother you today. I will come back another day."

The next day, Wen Jiu got up early and went to college.

For several days in a row, Wen Jiu followed the same rules to study the course he had given up before, and he did not give up even if he was laughed at.

In Qiao Shinian's opinion, if Wen Jiu didn't end up getting slapped in the face and reversed, it would be a shame for him to endure humiliation for so long.

Wen Jiu went to study, and Qiao Shinian was still accompanied by the spring snow.

Spring brought a touch of warmth to the Zhou Imperial Palace. The flowers bloomed, the grass was green, and the whole place looked full of vitality.

Warm wind blew on her face, and Qiao Shinian walked briskly. She asked curiously, "I'm curious, how will the master behind you come out? Is he going to wait until Wen Jiu has learned everything before he comes out?

Or, was he coming out when Wen Jiu’s life was in danger?

When is the right time?"

Watching Qiao Shinian jumping and skipping, Chunxue lowered her head and spoke after a long while: "His Highness respects and loves you. It is not a wise decision to put him in danger."

Qiao Shinian turned around and walked backwards, looking at Chunxue, his smile becoming brighter and brighter, "Go tell that person to either come out and teach Wen Jiu as soon as possible. Or let Wen Jiu take me with him, and the two of us will live in Zhou Country in my own way. If you don't want to help, then don't come and make decisions!"

"I will inform you, my Lord." Chunxue replied.

"It's only two intersections away. I'll walk back by myself. Please bring back today's chicken feed." Qiao Shinian turned around and looked at the empty aisle.

This place is so remote that no one wants to pass by. The means used by the Zhou royal family to embarrass Wen Jiu are really primitive.

Looking at Qiao Shinian's receding back, Chunxue turned and walked towards the imperial kitchen.

This world is very primitive and ancient, and there are not many delicious foods to eat. Although there are many cuisines in the banquets held in the palace, there is still a lack of seasoning.

No chili peppers, no ginger, onions or garlic.

There was also a shortage of fruit, so why couldn't they grow their own fruit? She saw that the temperature in Zhou Country was very suitable for growing some summer essential fruits such as grapes and watermelons.

There are also apples, mangoes, dragon fruit, strawberries, bananas and pineapples!

Why do we have to wait for others to pay tribute before we can eat it?

And the rice here tastes terrible.

No wonder there is nothing to eat when there is a natural disaster. It’s because the grain production at the source is not good.

"But I can't bring rice here. Zhou will be Wen Jiu's enemy in the future. If I bring modern grain seeds here, Zhou will be the powerful one in the future."

Qiao Shinian murmured, thinking about what to bring next time, so that he could meet his current needs but also not let Zhou Guo get them.

She kind of wants to eat some cold cucumber salad, so maybe bring some cucumber seeds and peppers next time.

Well, with chili peppers and peppercorns, you can make hot pot.

Wen Jiu has great ambitions, which reminds her of a great emperor. So she will bring some military strategies written by ancient people to help Wen Jiu become a strategist so that he can avoid taking detours.

Suddenly someone grabbed her neck and then covered her mouth with a cloth.

"Who the hell is this! Let me go!"

The next second she was put into a bag and lifted up.

"Hurry! Don't let anyone find out!" The shrill voice startled Qiao Shinian.

The voice was obviously that of a eunuch.

"let me go!"

She was being held tightly, and had a vague feeling of being weak and powerless.

She was extremely panicked. There was a drug on the handkerchief that covered her mouth and nose just now. The more excited she was, the faster the blood flowed and the faster the drug took effect. That was why the eunuchs did not cover her mouth.

Chunxue walked out from the corner and watched Qiao Shinian being carried away from afar. She remained silent and turned around after a long time.

She didn't know who kidnapped Qiao Shinian, but accidents happening to Qiao Shinian often best stimulated Wen Jiu's potential.

If Qiao Shinian was always around, Wen Jiu would always be like a child and never grow up.

If something happened to Qiao Shinian, whether he lived or died, it would be a good thing for Wen Jiu. At least Wen Jiu would not live in mediocrity anymore and would not have to wait in vain.

There is no need for mercy and kindness in the deep palace, and weakness is a fatal injury.

Chunxue lowered her head. In fact, she had just arrived at the palace half a year before Wen Jiu returned to the palace. At that time, she had just come out of the secret guard camp.

There were two other people who came out at the same time as her. One was Xiaoyu, who had not been discovered by Wen Jiu and Qiao Shinian at all. The other one followed that adult, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive.

Qiao Shinian tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart. She could hardly hear any other voice except the footsteps below her. It was conceivable that she was now taken to a place as remote as Wen Jiu's residence.

who can that be?

As Qiao Shinian thought about it, he felt sleepy and his whole body almost went limp.

She bit her tongue to stimulate her brain nerves, wondering if what was written in the novel was useful? Was it true that pain could alleviate the effect of the drug and keep people awake?

"Throw her here first, and the adults will take her out of the palace later." The voice that came and went in his ears made Qiao Shinian realize that he was now being taken to the first destination.

The black cloth on her head was not of good quality, and she could still see the light and blurry buildings outside.
