Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

They agreed with the old painter that he would deliver the paintings to the foot of the mountain three days later, and they would pay him the balance. Then they called a carriage and returned to the villa.

Yu Zhaoyi took the rouge from Lin Xuejian's hand, looked at her cheerful expression, and glared at her lovingly, "Have you thought it through?"

She nodded without hesitation and shared everything that happened today with Yu Zhaoyi.

When Yu Yan said that she would stand up again, Yu Zhaoyi also smiled.

Well, Yu Yan is actually a rare talent. Although the imperial city is full of talented people, what if Qixia really needs him in the future?

Yu Zhaoyi believed in Buddhism, believed in cause and effect, and believed even more in her teacher. There must have been a reason why he personally came out to protect Yu Yan.

When we returned to the imperial city, it was in late autumn. The fallen leaves had begun to turn slightly yellow, and the scenery along the way was also very beautiful.

When Lin Xuejian opened the carriage curtain, she could see Yu Yan walking in front of her.

As if sensing her gaze, he turned around and looked at her. They smiled at each other, and then she lowered the curtain.

Seeing the haggard Yu Zhaoyi, she hurriedly lowered her head and restrained her smile. The emperor had recently favored another concubine, so Yu Zhaoyi returned to her carriage.

She squatted down and comforted her, "It's okay, my lady. When we return to the imperial city, I will come up with many interesting things to help you attract the emperor's attention again."

Yu Zhaoyi patted her head and smiled faintly, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine now."

She was not a woman who liked to fight, but in the deep palace, if you didn't fight, you would die.

In the blink of an eye, winter came again. The north wind was howling, and the Jiuchong Palace seemed even more desolate. The careless Lin Xuejian did not close the stained glass window properly, and a strong wind blew, blowing the window open suddenly.

The snow drifted into the warm house and immediately turned into water when it landed on the ground. Lin Xuejian hurried over to close the window again.

Yu Zhaoyi sat in front of the bronze mirror, surrounded by two little palace maids, who were dressing her up. Today, she was finally summoned by the emperor again.

Hearing the sound, she turned around and looked at Lin Xuejian. If a young palace maid in another palace made this mistake, she would inevitably be scolded by the ladies, but not here. Anxian Palace was the warmest and most harmonious place in the palace.

"Reckless girl~" Yu Zhaoyi was in a good mood. She smiled and clicked her tongue.

After closing the flower window, Lin Xuejian turned around, ran towards her, and called her coquettishly: "My Lady~"

After everything was cleaned up and the door was opened, Yu Yan was among the eunuchs waiting outside the hall.

He nodded and bowed to Yu Zhaoyi, then looked up at Lin Xuejian behind her. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.

There was no chance to exchange pleasantries. Lin Xuejian helped Yu Zhaoyi onto the sedan chair, and everyone escorted her to the emperor's bedroom.

One of them stood on the left side of the sedan chair, and the other stood on the right side. Lin Xuejian secretly glanced at Yu Yan and found that he was also looking at her.

Although she was a little shy, she still managed not to look away. Yu Yan finally became stronger, gained some flesh, and his face looked more energetic. It was great.

She wanted to ask him if he had received the dried apricots that she had asked another eunuch to send him a few days ago. She also wanted to ask him if he had charcoal to burn since winter was coming.

If not, she could give him some. She had saved the charcoal that Yu Zhaoyi gave her and was reluctant to use it.

Of course, she learned her lesson and didn't really freeze herself. She and other little sisters pooled their money to buy cheap charcoal, and huddled together to warm themselves by the fire, which was quite nice.

She cared about him very much. Recently, there were rumors in the palace that he had become the chief eunuch's dog, very black-hearted, and would do anything.

But no matter how the rumors spread, she knew that he was not what others said he was. He was a very good person.

Yu Zhaoyi was sent to the emperor's bedroom, leaving only Lin Xuejian and a few palace maids waiting outside the door.

Before leaving, Yu Yan deliberately walked behind the other eunuchs, and while no one was paying attention, he quickly stuffed a box of rouge into Lin Xuejian's hand.

He killed a man for Wuyang, and Wuyang rewarded him with money. He also killed the three people who had bullied him. Wuyang provided evidence for him, and no one discovered it.

Cruel and ruthless, full of tricks, this is what Wu Yang admires about him. Wu Yang said, welcome to hell, Yu Yan.

But gradually, Wu Yang found that he could no longer control Yu Yan. He grew up too fast, and after a period of misfortune, he won the favor of the emperor.

Another year, with natural disasters and strange things happening everywhere, in spring, during the rainy season, many places were severely flooded, and people had to be sent to repair damaged dams and manage disaster relief.

This task fell on the experienced Yu Yan. He was temporarily appointed as the commander in charge of flood control. Everyone said that as long as he successfully completed the task this time, he would be able to make it.

After leaving, no one knew when he would be able to come back. Yu Yan finally found an opportunity and asked Lin Xuejian to meet him at the lotus pond in Anxian Hall.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Lin Xuejian put on the rouge given by Yu Yan and wore the butterfly hairpin given by Yu Zhaoyi. The agreed time was midnight, but she was already impatient and arrived at the lotus pond much earlier.

At that time, there was a light drizzle, which created ripples in the lotus pond. Yu Yan, holding an umbrella, had been waiting there earlier than her.

Seeing her coming, he walked towards her quickly and held an umbrella for her. He could see that she was dressed up carefully. Yu Yan smiled gently, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were full of water. Lin Xuejian was at a loss for words and could only utter two words: "She's so beautiful."

In this year of Yu Yan’s purest love, even kisses were trembling.

He lowered his head and kissed those beautiful red lips. He said, "Wait for me to come back."

The two people hugged each other in the rain, with the umbrella thrown aside long ago. They talked about their longing for each other for so long. In this deep palace, with someone to accompany them, they seemed not so lonely anymore.

Yu Yan took Lin Xuejian by the hand and just sent her to the door of Anxian Palace, she saw Yu Zhaoyi rushing towards them aggressively. The little palace maid holding an umbrella behind her followed her in a panic, fearing that she would get wet in the rain.

"You are so good, Yu Yan, you meet my Xue Jian secretly without any status or status!" Afraid that her voice would be too loud and attract the attention of someone, Yu Zhaoyi deliberately lowered her voice and brought the two people back to the palace.

Yu Zhaoyi was sitting in front of the desk, while Yu Yan and Lin Xuejian were kneeling on the ground in a neat row.

Lin Xuejian's eyes rolled around and she stole a glance at Yu Zhaoyi's slightly serious face, ready to put on a playful smile to get away with it, but before she could open her mouth, she was seen through and Yu Zhaoyi glared at her.

"Don't talk!" She glared at Yu Yan again, "Tell me, when will you give Xuejian a legitimate status? Are you really going to treat her so unclearly?"

There are many concubines in the palace, and the emperor turns a blind eye to them. If she asks the emperor to arrange a proper marriage for the two of them, it will not be difficult.

She wants to express her attitude now.

Yu Yan still felt that he was not worthy of Lin Xuejian. He wanted to climb higher and have more so that he could protect her and not let others find out that she was his weakness.

But she couldn't stand the murderous look in Yu Zhaoyi's eyes, so she coaxed and kicked her, "Don't tell me you think that now that you have the chance and have become a Dusi, you don't want our Xuejian anymore, do you?"
