In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chu Qingyin hurriedly explained:

"How is that possible? How could I fire you?"

101 with a crying voice:

"I'm telling you, we signed a contract. If you break it, I'll... I'll..."

Chu Qingyin asked:

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm about to explode, wuwuwuwuwuwu..."

This 101 appeared with Chu Qingyin, so if Chu Qingyin needed it, it would appear, but if it was not needed, it would disappear. So when she said this, it was scared.

Chu Qingyin hurriedly comforted it:

"That's not what I meant. I meant, if I don't help the Zhenbei Army anymore, will I still be able to see you?"

The 101 on the opposite side suddenly whimpered:

"How can I not see you? Host, you scared me to death. I thought you didn't want to do this anymore. If you don't want to do this anymore, I'm going to explode. Of course you can see me. I was born for you. Until you don't want to continue working in East City Express, I will always be by your side."

Chu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief, comforted 101, and continued to ask:

"Does that mean I can leave a will to keep in touch with Yun Jin?"

The Zhenbei Army, Lu Yan, and even the barbarians from Yunjin now have a special meaning in Chu Qingyin's heart.

"That's the theory."

Chu Qingyin was finally relieved, so she quickly comforted 101:

"I'm sorry for scaring you today. Go on vacation now. I won't bother you anymore."

Chu Qingyin tossed and turned in bed, thinking about what 101 said, feeling happy.

Now she is just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Her mother has been away since she was a child and she has no one to accompany her.

Now that she had Lu Yan to chat with her, she found that she seemed to have regarded Lu Yan as a very good friend.

In the dead of night, Lu Yan's bracelet was still placed close to his body in his inner clothes. In order to prevent the bracelet from breaking, he placed a box in his inner clothes and covered it with thick cotton.

Without Lu Yan knowing, a note appeared in the box.

"Thank you."

The next day, Lu Yan had just gotten up when he saw five strange maids, as beautiful as flowers, coming to serve him in the room.

He didn't understand, so he quickly called his former personal guard Wu Ren. Wu Ren scratched his head:

"Your Highness, this is something the Empress and His Majesty have discussed. You are so young and haven't been in the palace, so you don't even have a concubine. This is someone the Empress has carefully selected. They are from clean families and good looks. Please accept it, Your Highness."

After the introductions, they all bowed, which was quite proper.

"Slave Chun Xing."

"Servant Xia Lan."

"Your servant Qiuyu."

"The servant Dongxue."

"Your servant...Yuanxiang."

Lu Yan's face suddenly turned dark:

"I don't want them, I don't need them, just send them all away."

But the mist blade next to him was a little shocked:

"You are actually Yuanxiang? I didn't expect the Queen to go to such lengths to get Yuanxiang alone. She must have spent over a thousand taels."

Not only Wu Ren, but also Xiao Yun, the personal maid beside Lu Yan, could not help but sigh:

"Miss Yuanxiang's name is better seen in person than heard of. She is indeed graceful and charming. But the Empress dared to secretly bring such a prostitute to her place."

Lu Yan understood that his mother was really afraid that he was not interested in women, so she called everyone here.

"My Jingwang Mansion can't support these girls. Please talk to my mother and send them back."

Hearing Lu Yan say this, these girls suddenly showed expressions of fear:

"Your Highness, please take us in. We were all carefully selected by the Queen, and there's nothing wrong with us. If you don't take us in, I'm afraid the Queen won't be able to keep us!"

They looked like they would be blown away by the wind, and looked at Lu Yan, who was kneeling on the ground one by one, as beautiful as a flower, without any pity at all.

Especially Yuanxiang, it seemed that she had stayed in Yuanxiang Pavilion for too long and heard a lot of unpleasant words on a daily basis, but after hearing these words, she looked unmoved at all.

The Queen Mother really put a lot of thought into this. Not only do all of them look good, but they also have different styles. She wants Lu Yan to open up to the world.

But looking at them, Lu Yan felt very annoyed. Normally, he never interacted with these women. Now, looking at them, he always felt that he was sorry for the witches and didn't want to accept them at all.

Although he has nothing to do with the witches now, he has reserved a place for them in his heart. Although these things were personally selected by his mother, he would always feel uncomfortable if he accepted them, whether as his concubines or his maidens.

"Well, Wu Ren, take them and settle them down first. My palace is spacious, so finding five rooms should be enough. From now on, you are not allowed to move around freely in the palace. You will not be short of food and clothes, and don't come to me on your own initiative."

Chun Xing was happy here. She was finally able to stay in the palace. If she left the palace, she might not be able to live a good life.

But Qiuyu was frowning. His Highness didn't let them move around. Although they stayed, if they couldn't see His Highness for a long time, who knew what the situation would be like in the future!

So she shyly raised her eyes to look at Lu Yan:

"Your Highness, if something happens, can't I... go out?"

Lu Yan looked up and said calmly:

"If anything happens, report it to the guard at the door. Don't show up at the palace unless it's something important. You begged me to keep you here, so don't give me any more advice now."

The tenderness that usually appeared in Lu Yan's eyes and brows was completely gone at this moment.

"Yes."

Qiuyu quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.

After a long time, Yuanxiang glanced at Qiuyu indifferently without saying anything.

However, Wu Ren watched them on the road and let them live in the same yard.

"The world is going downhill. It's really unusual now. Even something that a butcher in the mountains can get close to can enter Prince Jing's mansion."

Although their looks and figures were indeed not as good as Yuanxiang's, each of them was a concubine's daughter of a low-ranking official. Even if they could not be called noble ladies, they were still girls from good families.

As for Yuanxiang, she was not even a slave, but just a lowly prostitute. Before she was even put up for auction, she had already been secretly taken away by the Empress.

Yuanxiang ignored them as they were mocking her. Qiuyu, thinking about the setback she had just suffered, felt unhappy, but she couldn't afford to offend others, so she came over and started provoking them:

"Don't think that just because you learned those seductive skills in Yuanxiang Pavilion, the prince will let you be his concubine! Forget it! Even the queen wouldn't let a lowly woman like you be her concubine. It's better for you to pave the way for us now. If we become successful in the future, we can still give you a meal."
