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

Although he has a good relationship with the Xu family, he is now Prince Jing, and the Xu family's Shangshu is now an important official in the court, so naturally he cannot have too much contact with him.

Although the current emperor is extremely licentious, if anyone dares to whisper in front of him that he has rebellious intentions, his position will definitely be lost.

He was not only worried about himself. If he wanted to see Chu Qingyin without interfering with the safety of others, he would certainly be willing to take the risk.

But his mother's life and the lives of the entire Xu family are in his hands, even Chu Qingyin's life. He cannot take the risk, so he can only stay peacefully in Prince Jing's Mansion.

What's more, Chu Qingyin has now become a lady of Yunjin. As the only woman of marriageable age in the Xu family, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most noble woman in the capital except for the royal family.

In the past, as a witch, no mortal dared to provoke her, and no one had the right to comment on her style of doing things.

But things are different now. Since she has come to Yun Jin and gone to the Xu family, she is a lady from a prominent family in the capital. How can she have too much contact with him, a man from outside?

Now thinking about the changes in their identities, although Chu Qingyin came to Yunjin, he always felt empty in his heart.

In the past, the two of them could still communicate with each other using notes, and he could be said to be the only man who had a connection with Yun Jin and Chu Qingyin, but now things are different.

If the news that the Xu family has found their legitimate daughter spreads to the entire Yunjin in a while, I'm afraid that even the prominent people in the capital will be unable to propose marriage to them.

"Your Highness, why do you seem to be in a bad mood these past two days?"

The chief steward of Prince Jing's Mansion is also quite courageous. He knows that Lu Yan always looks cold on the surface, but in fact he has a warm heart and will not treat his servants unfairly.

And he has made such great contributions to the entire Yunjin, he loves him from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that Prince Jing was unhappy during this period, he was also anxious.

But Lu Yan had no intention of telling others what was in his heart. He just glanced at the chief steward and said coldly:

"Have you dealt with all the troubles caused by the women my mother sent over these past two days?"

What a joke! After hearing this, the chief steward chuckled twice and immediately ran away in shame. Although Prince Jing did not directly answer his question, he could clearly feel that Prince Jing was indeed unhappy. Why was that?

He suddenly thought of the woman who appeared out of nowhere in Prince Jing's Mansion some time ago. Could she be related to a woman?

"No, no, our Highness is not interested in women. On weekdays, he is either handling government affairs or leading troops in battle. How could he have the leisure time to think about such things?"

The mist blade beside him couldn't stand it any longer:

"Then you have to treat our prince as a human being. He's only in his early twenties, which is quite late compared to other members of the royal family. He's also a man full of vigor and vitality. How could he possibly not care about marriage at all?"

"You're right. The woman we met at Prince Jing's mansion that day was really beautiful. But then again, when His Highness took him out that day, he didn't take us servants with him.

"I wonder where he sent that woman. What family is she from? How did she suddenly appear in Prince Jing's mansion?"

The chief steward scratched his head. What had happened these days was getting more bizarre than the last. He really couldn't understand the mystery of Prince Jing's Mansion.

"You don't know this, right? Our prince is the most popular in the entire capital. It's not uncommon for women to come to us and want to see Prince Jing. What are you so confused about?"

Wu Ren has always been very confident in his master.

"But how could an ordinary woman have such martial arts skills to really break into Prince Jing's mansion? You think that we, the chief stewards, who usually guard the gate, are vegetarians? You..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking. This is all His Highness's private affairs. You don't need to worry about it."

Wu Ren knew that he was in the wrong, but deep down he still believed that his prince was extremely charming, so he ran away in shame.

Although Chu Qingyin had already left, the news of his appearance in Prince Jing's Mansion that day spread throughout the palace like the wind.

After all, the palace is so big. Although they say there are many servants on weekdays, the palace is even bigger and there is no one to be seen. It is not easy to find a piece of gossip, and everyone can chat for a while. Why not do it?

"I heard a long time ago that the woman is our prince's lover. I heard she was brought from the north."

The two little palace maids sweeping the floor were chatting incoherently.

"Is this true? The North is extremely cold, how could it possibly bring beautiful women? That woman has delicate skin and tender flesh, she doesn't look like she's been exposed to the sun and wind all day long."

"Although the north is extremely cold, there are also rich people there. As long as you have money, it's definitely impossible for you to starve and freeze every day."

"You're right, but he brought Prince Jing here from the Northern Empire without a single word, and the Empress didn't even know. If Prince Jing really wanted to marry this woman, why wouldn't he have gotten the Empress's approval first?"

…………

Although this matter is becoming more and more mysterious, no one has a standard answer in their mind. It has been passed around and we still need to wait for the day when it is finally revealed that the answer will be revealed.

And it's not just Prince Jing's Mansion, the Xu family is also bustling with activity.

Because the Xu family was very kind to their servants, even too kind. The people there seemed to not recognize the feudal system and treated the servants as cooperative workers. No one had ever treated servants so well, so for slaves who had not yet found a job, the Xu family was the best place.

Being treated well also shows that most people here think that the Xu family is the best masters. Now seeing that all the members of the Xu family have been found, they are really happy in their hearts.

"Miss, what are you talking about? Do you usually apply these things?"

Chu Qingyin was really not used to being served, so she just smiled awkwardly:

"I applied two coats, is that not enough?"

In fact, she didn't dare tell them that as a high school student, it was great for her to have time to apply facial makeup on weekdays. Sometimes she didn't even have time to apply lotion after washing her face.

"Of course it's too little. You're considered a lady from a prominent family in the capital, and our Xu family is the most prominent in the capital. You must be the most beautiful among the other young ladies. How could you treat your face like this?"
