Time travel, quick transmigration

Unexpectedly, she was not punished for being exposed, but was even allowed to stay in Nanxun Palace. Moreover, Shi Yan's words greatly encouraged her, and her dormant heart seemed to be awakened.

She was taken away by An Lushan and forced to practice dancing day and night, as well as learn various killing techniques. She hated that life and refused to be a pawn of such an ambitious man as An Lushan. However, she dared not disobey him and had no way to escape. Now, the noble woman before her told her that one day she could live the life she wanted and was willing to keep her. For this alone, she was willing to give her life for her.

"This servant thanks Your Highness for taking me in, and also thanks Your Highness for sparing my life."

"From now on, Aman will obey only the Empress's orders."

Shi Yan looked at the pretty girl in front of her, who still had a touch of childishness.

"Judging from your age, you should be about the same age as Xiaodie. In this palace, you just need to remember to be careful with your words and actions and pay attention to everything. As for me, there aren't too many complicated rules. As long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you unfairly."

"From now on, you will follow me by my side just like Xiaodie. If you don't understand anything, just ask Xiaodie."

"Alright, I have nothing else to say here. You may leave."

Aman kept Shi Yan's words in mind.

"Your Majesty's words have been remembered by this servant."

Shi Yan smiled slightly, amused by A Man's serious demeanor.

"You look very different now compared to when I first met you."

"Xiao Die, I'm entrusting Aman to your care. You must give her lots of guidance."

Seeing how kind and friendly Shi Yan was to A Man, Xiao Die felt a little jealous. Before, Shi Yan only had her as her personal maid, and now that there was another one, she was a little unaccustomed to it. But more than anything, she was happy for Shi Yan. It was a good thing that Shi Yan would have another caring person to serve her in the future.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this servant will take good care of Aman."

Hearing this, Aman looked at Xiaodie gratefully and gave her a bright smile.

Xiaodie smiled in response to Aman's friendly gesture.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was fairly harmonious, Shi Yan's eyes also showed a hint of relief and satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, I will escort Aman back to her residence to rest. I will come back later to attend to you and help you to sleep."

Xiao Die turned to look at Shi Yan, her eyes seeking her opinion.

Aman immediately replied upon hearing this.

“If it is to serve Your Highness to rest, then as a servant, Aman should also take on her duties. How can it be reasonable for Sister Xiaodie to leave Your Highness and take me back to my quarters to rest when my mistress has not yet rested?”

Shi Yan had already realized that A Man was a very honest person and a bit stubborn.

"No need. You've only just arrived at Nanxun Palace and are not familiar with many things yet. You should go back and rest for now. After Xiaodie shows you around tomorrow, you can come and serve me again."

"Xiaodie, take Aman back to rest."

"After you drop Xiaodie off, you should go back and rest early. With them here, you don't need to go back and forth."

Upon hearing this, Xiaodie glanced at Shi Yan, then at the two palace maids standing to Shi Yan's right.

"Ok."

"Yu'er, Que'er, you two must serve the Empress well."

As for childcare, Que'er was originally a servant in the inner palace, but Xiao Die usually took care of everything for Shi Yan, so the two of them did some cleaning and tidying work in the inner palace.

The two nodded quickly upon hearing Xiaodie's words.

After Xiaodie and Aman left, Shi Yan fell asleep with the help of Yu'er and Que'er.

Wearing soft pajamas and lying on a comfortable bed, Shi Yan, who was still wide awake, summoned 0804.

"Xiao Ba, can you find out about Xiao Huanling's situation? Is he alright? Is he injured?"

0804 has now grown into a five or six-year-old boy, with a delicate and adorable appearance. When Shi Yan first saw him, she was stunned. Now, looking at 0804's angelic face, Shi Yan still couldn't help but want to pinch his cheeks.

0804 felt a sudden tremor in her heart as she was being watched intently by Shi Yan, and her heart flew away from her for no apparent reason.

"What are you doing! Don't pinch my cheeks!"

He had been caught off guard and had his face pinched by Shi Yan several times before, which made him feel embarrassed and blush for a long time.

"Do you take me for a god? Someone who can predict everything. He's still in Luoyang, which is far away, so I can't find out anything about his situation right now."

"Are you so worried about him that you can't sleep?"

Shi Yan pulled the quilt up a little, then adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position, closed her eyes, and mumbled something indistinctly.

"I am definitely worried about him, but not to the point of being unable to sleep. I'm just thinking that I should make some plans for Xiaodie."

0804 became interested upon hearing this.

"How do you say this?"

Shi Yan murmured softly, “As you can see, Yang Guozhong and An Lushan are very favored by Li Longji. If this continues, one of them will inevitably become a powerful minister, and the other will become a regional governor with military power. The Tang Dynasty will eventually fall into chaos. Before that happens, I need to arrange a stable and peaceful life for Xiaodie in the future.”

"I plan to bestow a marriage upon Xiaodie and Xiaoshen in a while, and to provide Xiaodie with a mansion and several properties in the south. Xiaoshen is a kind and pure-hearted man, and he is sincere towards Xiaodie. He is a man worthy of entrusting one's life to. He came to me not long ago to ask for my help. When I returned from the Lishan Palace last time, I told him to wait a little longer. Xiaodie is of marriageable age, and Xiaoshen is eagerly waiting to marry her. No matter how reluctant I am, I can't delay the wedding for them any longer."

"Furthermore, if the An Lushan Rebellion breaks out, Chang'an will definitely be in chaos. I don't want Xiaodie to live in fear. It's good to entrust her to Xiao Shen. I'll feel much more at ease once the two of them go south."

Shi Yan's kindness to Xiao Die and her good intentions deeply moved 0804.

"You've thought of everything for her; she's lucky to have met you."

"Since you've already made up your mind, just do what you want."

“Your considerations are correct. Xiaodie doesn’t know martial arts and is bound to get hurt in the chaos. It’s better for her to stay far away from this place of trouble. After all, you can’t protect her forever.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan opened her eyes and looked at 0804 floating on the top of the tent.

"Yes, let's get right to it. Tomorrow I'll summon Xiao Shen to the palace to discuss it, and then I'll consult the almanac to choose an auspicious day."

Shi Yan's energetic demeanor also inspired 0804.

"Looks like I'll be attending Xiaodie's wedding soon."

"Hey, Yan Yan, why do you keep that Ah Man, whose origins are unknown, by your side? Aren't you afraid she has ulterior motives and will harm you?"

Shi Yan shook her head. "Although she was trained by An Lushan, she is not a bad person at heart. With her by my side, after Xiaodie gets married, I will at least have someone I can trust and who can be of use. She knows some martial arts. I don't expect her to protect me, but at least she can protect herself."

0804 nodded knowingly.

"I understand."

"Let's stop talking now, it's getting late, you should go to sleep."

Shi Yan couldn't help but smile as she watched 0804 urging herself to go to sleep.

"I think you're the one urging me because you want to sleep! Okay, go to sleep, don't worry about me."

0804 was embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed.

"I'm going to sleep now, goodnight!"

With a whoosh, it flew back to Shi Yan's sea of ​​consciousness to continue its deep sleep.
