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

The fake princess of Qiu Feng Zhai disappeared, but a new princess appeared in the mansion. The reason for this was unknown to anyone except a maid named Tong Hua.

A large copper lock was once again hung on the gate of Qiufengzhai. Tonghua followed behind Manager Zhou, looking back every few steps. Yaoli returned to Mingde Hall with her luggage. Princess Gao looked at the maid kneeling in the hall and asked, "Are you back?"

Yao Li's face turned pale. "My Lady, I know I was wrong."

Princess Gao said noncommittally, "Go down."

Yao Chun looked at Yao Li, who was obviously relieved, and sighed silently, "Yao Li, the Queen has decided to marry you off."

Yaoli's eyes widened. "How is it possible? Her Majesty..." After a moment, she collapsed on the couch without saying a word for a long time.

Tonghua followed the steward to an unfamiliar courtyard, and was greeted by a very friendly-looking maid.

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zhou." Cai He said as she handed over the small purse in her hand. "It's not worth anything. Please have some hot tea, Manager."

Manager Zhou was flattered and took it with both hands. He bowed towards the main house and said, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

After seeing off Manager Zhou, Caihe turned around and looked at the little maid named Tonghua in front of her.

"What did you do in the mansion?"

Tonghua said carefully, "I was originally a maid in charge of sweeping the front yard, and later I was transferred to work at Qiufengzhai."

"Do you know how to dress and comb your hair?"

Tonghua nodded and said, "Yes, I used to do these things when I was working at Qiufengzhai." As if she felt that her words were stealing the limelight, she immediately added, "Actually, these are not good enough. I am still better at sweeping and cleaning."

Cai He nodded secretly. She was an honest person. After thinking for a while, she said, "The princess doesn't like too many people to serve her. The Heyue Pavilion is still short of a second-class maid to take care of tea and snacks. Are you willing?"

Tonghua was overjoyed and said, "I am willing to do so. Thank you, Sister Caihe."

A smile flashed across Cai He's face. "Wait here for a moment."

After a while, Tonghua saw Caihe standing on the threshold and waving at her, "Come in, the princess wants to see you."

Tonghua held her breath, lifted her skirt and walked into the house on tiptoe, and came to the west room.

There was only a faint fragrance in the air. The interior furnishings were elegant and noble. Compared with the grandeur and luxury of Qiu Feng Zhai, it was obvious that this place had been carefully taken care of to its current appearance.

"This servant greets the princess. May the princess live long and happily."

A clear voice sounded above his head, "Get up and let me see."

Tonghua stood up straight, raised her head slightly, and looked straight ahead.

One glance and she was stunned. Sitting on a low couch was a teenage girl with skin as white as cream, a fresh face, and eyes as bright as the full moon. She was wearing a simple, bright red dress, her dark hair tied in a bun, secured only by a matching pearl-studded headband.

Even her simple attire could not conceal her noble aura.

It turns out that this is what the real princess looks like.

Lu Yun looked at the little maid in a daze and couldn't help but chuckled, "Caihe, it seems that she was scared by me. Take her down quickly."

Tonghua's face turned red instantly, and she followed him out with her head lowered.

On the way, she met Liuzi, who was beside the prince. Liuzi greeted Caihe with a smile and went in with the things in his hands.

Tonghua heard it through the window.

"I've met the princess. The master said he thought the snacks in this shop tasted good, so he sent a box back home for the princess to try."

Lu Yun opened the lid curiously and saw four kinds of snacks with different shapes and colors inside.

Long, square, round, and flat.

It has a strong salty and fragrant taste, and a light bite reveals the crystal clear red meat inside.

Lu Yun's eyes lit up. "It's really delicious. Is this breaded with ham?"

Liuzi: "My princess, you know what you are talking about. This is our famous ham pancake from South Vietnam."

The prince must really like the princess, Tonghua thought to herself. It wasn't until later that she realized that every now and then, the prince would always send a portion to the princess when he saw something interesting or delicious outside.

Cai He led Tong Hua to the back room and said, "You will live in this room from now on. It has everything you need. If you need anything, remember to tell me."

Tonghua touched the room and saw a row of brand new boxes, beds, and walls that had been finely whitewashed with lime.

Heyue Pavilion was indeed quiet. Apart from the maids who cleaned the place, there were only the two of them. Sister Caihe said that a few more maids would be sent in.

Lu Yun handed a piece of paper to Liu Zi and asked, "Have you seen the plants on this in South Vietnam?"

Liuzi took the paper and examined it carefully, then shook his head and said, "Princess, can I take this paper back to show my master?"

Lu Yun nodded, "Of course."

Seeing Liuzi hurriedly leaving with the paper, Lu Yun called Caihe and said, "The prince will probably have dinner at the Heyue Pavilion tonight. Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some more food."

Caihe responded with a smile.

Tonghua came in with a teapot to add tea for the princess.

Lu Yun found her wooden appearance somewhat adorable, and could not help but let her sit on the flower bud stool in front of her. "I heard from Caihe that you used to serve in Qiu Feng Zhai. What was your former master like? Did she look like me?"

Tonghua was apprehensive and carefully considered her words. "My Lady, she looks a bit like you, but because her face is disfigured, she often wears a mask. She's quite kind to the servants."

Lu Yun could see that she was afraid, so she picked up a piece of dessert from the table and handed it to her. "Here, don't be afraid, I won't eat people. This dessert is good, try it."

Tonghua took the dessert with a bit of timidity and put it into her mouth. The sweet taste of jujube paste made her feel less nervous and she mustered up the courage to

"My Lady Princess, do you know where the guy from Qiu Feng Zhai has gone?"

Lu Yun saw the sincerity in her eyes, sighed inwardly, and chose to cover up the truth. "She must have been sent back."

Tonghua nodded happily, "Then I'll feel relieved."

Lu Yun smiled and asked her where she lived and if there were other people at home.

Tonghua answered them all, "I am from Shu. I was sold by my parents when I was very young. By some strange coincidence, I ended up in the palace serving the nobles. When I was sold, I had a younger brother at home."

Lu Yun: "Is it because the family can't afford to eat?"

Tonghua nodded without any sadness, "Yes, sell the slaves for some food so that the family can survive."

Lu Yun was silent for a moment before she said, "What if your parents have the money to redeem you in the future? Are you willing to go back with them?"

Tonghua hesitated and shook her head. "Working in the palace, I don't have to pay for clothes and food, and I can get a monthly salary. But when I go back, if my family gets poor one day, I'll be sold, and I don't know where I'll be sold to."

Lu Yun understood the implication of her words. What a pitiful, cute, and smart little girl. "You are right."

The sun was setting slightly when Zhou Boli arrived.

She was wearing a brand new black brocade robe, her long hair was tied up on top of her head with a transparent jade hairpin, and she wore a small golden crown that was also brand new.

He sat down across from Lu Yun, his face full of smiles as he said, "Ayun."

Lu Yun: “——”

How could she not have noticed Zhou Boli's thick skin before? Ever since she regained her memory, Zhou Boli has changed his address to her from Princess, Runhui, to Ayun. Brother, your character is a bit broken!
