The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Miss Lu was startled and said with a smile, "I am from the Qin Dynasty after all. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Princess Gao looked around a few times before finally settling on a skinny, dark-skinned girl in the group. She smiled mischievously, "I think this one's a good one. She'll grow fat if she keeps her hair up. We South Vietnamese don't like the frail, skinny, and skinny persona of the Qin Dynasty. And with the blue dress you picked, that'll be enough."

The two people who were called stood aside.

I'd heard that South Vietnam viewed women's appearance differently than the Central Plains, but I hadn't imagined the difference was this great. Miss Lu took a look at the dark-skinned girl. Her skin wasn't exactly fair, but her features were well-proportioned, especially her eyes, which were bright and clear. If only she were a little whiter—

"The princess?"

Her thoughts were interrupted, and Miss Lu came back to her senses and looked at Princess Gao. "Your Majesty, I want to take advantage of the fine weather today and go out for a walk." After saying this, she smiled bitterly. "I always feel bored staying in the yard all day."

Princess Gao understood. "Dali City is bustling. You really should go out for a walk and relax. You don't want to get bored in the mansion."

The little girl from Qiu Feng Zhai was taken back by Miss Tonghua at that time.

As for the remaining two older ones, Manager Zhou went to Muyangju in person. Unexpectedly, the prince, who was supposed to be at the government office at this time, was also there.

Steward Zhou stepped forward with great trepidation and said, "My Lord, this morning the Queen has selected a pair of maids for you to serve, and I have asked you to bring them to you."

The young man sitting behind the desk, wearing a purple-gold crown and a matching brocade robe, looked up and said calmly, "I see. Sixth Son, please send Manager Zhou off for me."

Two maids, one tall and one short, one white and one black, stood obediently in the hall.

"What is your name?"

The two of them lowered their heads and looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes. Finally, the tall girl mustered up the courage to bow and said, "Your Highness, I'm Erniu."

The black-faced maid followed closely behind, lowering her head and imitating him, "Your Highness, my name is Jiang Nu."

"Ms. Jiang?" Zhou Boli chewed on the name and said calmly, "I do need a maid in my room. From today on, you will stay in my room and serve me."

The tall girl looked at the black girl beside her with half surprise and half envy. It turned out that the prince liked this.

Liuzi came back and took the people away, leaving only Jiang Nu and the young man sitting behind the table in the room.

Jiang Nu lowered her head and waited for a long time without hearing a word, so she raised her head and looked at the opposite side, and unexpectedly fell into a pair of deep eyes.

The young man's throat moved, his brows softened, "Come here."

Jiang Nu took a step forward, a hint of helplessness flashing across her eyes.

That day, Grandma suddenly fell ill. Fortunately, her daughter, Sister Yao Chun, happened to be home to get something. Sister Yao Chun took Grandma home to recuperate. Sister Yao Chun felt sorry for her and used her connections to find her a job helping out in the kitchen of a wealthy family in the city.

On the way here, the middleman said that there were not enough maids sent to the mansion and asked her to help make up the number. He was afraid that she would be favored by a noble, so he specially applied a layer of black paste on her face.

Who knew that by chance, I would actually be chosen and sent to be a maid to the prince.

I have to say that the prince's vision is quite strange. He didn't choose the fair-skinned and beautiful Erniu, but chose her to stay in the house and serve. She is dark, thin and frail, and you can tell at a glance that she is not worth mentioning.

"Your Highness," Jiang Nu decided to confess, "I, a servant, was chosen because of my strength and was prepared to be sent to your kitchen to chop wood and carry water. They brought me in because they didn't have enough maids."

In short, I am a rough person, and you have misjudged me, my Lord. Please send me back as soon as possible.

"Ah."

Jiang Nu, she felt as if she was flirting with a blind man.

"Your Highness, can I go back to the kitchen?"

The purple-robed young man slowly stood up and said, "Ms. Jiang, you can only earn one hundred yuan a month as a kitchen helper. But as a maid in Muyangju, you can earn five taels of silver a month, four sets of clothes for the four seasons of the year, and you don't have to spend money on food and drink. In addition, there are extra rewards during the three festivals every year."

Jiang Nu's face flashed with a trace of struggle, and she hesitated, "Can you not sell yourself?"

"can."

Jiang Nu's heart was filled with joy. "Your Highness, what should this servant do now?"

"Sixth son, bring the scriptures here."

A thick stack of Taoist classics lay on the table, and Jiang Nu was diligently copying them according to the instructions of the Crown Prince. A noble from the palace was going to the Taoist temple to burn incense in a month, and the Crown Prince had asked her to copy a scripture every day.

At first she thought it was difficult, but unexpectedly she finished copying it in just one hour. Her familiarity with it made Jiang Nu start to ponder who she really was. Could it be that she was a concubine's daughter who was not favored by the family and was punished by her stepmother to copy various scriptures all day long?

Zhou Boli looked at the black girl sitting at the table with her eyebrows wrinkled so much that they could almost kill a mosquito, his eyes full of doting, thinking that this is how peace and tranquility in the world should be.

In the evening, a servant named Liuzi brought a big dog named Huihui to her for care. The dog was half her height.

Jiang Nu had just taken the rope Liu Zi handed over when Hui Hui pounced heavily on her and threw her to the ground. The big dog enthusiastically stuck out its tongue and rubbed its head against her chest, whimpering from time to time. Jiang Nu lay on the ground, pushing the dog's head with her hand, trying hard not to laugh.

"Huihui!"

Noticing the dog being led away, Jiang Nu got up from the ground. Seeing the prince's unpleasant expression, she shrank her neck and stood beside Liu Zi. "I know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."

The prince sighed and said, "It's nothing. It's Huihui's fault. Don't give it meat tonight."

Gray bared his teeth and said, "Woof—"

At the same time, in a small courtyard somewhere in the city.

The masked woman stuffed the unconscious maid into the carriage and got up and went into the house.

A dark-faced man with a beard was sitting in the room. When he saw the masked woman, he stood up and bowed, "Boss."

The masked woman sat down opposite him and asked, "Last time I asked you to follow Zhou Boli, did you find anything unusual?"

The bearded man's face turned grim. "We followed Zhou Boli all the way into Mount Gongga, but the terrain was so complex that we lost him halfway. It wasn't until ten days later that our brothers guarding the official road rediscovered his tracks. On his way back, several of us attacked the carriage under cover of darkness. We only managed to spot a girl lying inside, but we're not sure if it was the princess."

The masked woman nodded. "You did a good job on this matter. Now I am worried that Zhou Boli has found Princess Ning'an and is hiding in Muyang Residence."

The bearded man was worried, "Boss, aren't you in danger?"

The masked woman's eyes were calm. "This matter can't be delayed any longer. I plan to take the opportunity to go to Muyang Residence tomorrow to find out what's going on. If it's really Princess Ning'an—"

"If not, we can't stay in the Nanyue Palace any longer. Zhou Boli is too dangerous."

Tonghua was awakened by the noise. She said with a sad face, "Miss, I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I always fall asleep."

Miss Lu shook her head. "Nothing. Go outside and see what's going on. Why isn't the car moving?"
