I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

Cangxu waited downstairs, leaving the master and servant to reminisce inside.

For Zhu Luo, the worry was still lingering in her heart.

She couldn't truly invest her emotions because she wasn't Shen Zhuluo at all.

But having reached this point, her identity is no longer something she can control.

Why did Xiao Mingyan bring the Shen family to her? Was it out of kindness or did he have other motives?

However, the most important thing right now is to get past the maid.

The little girl was excited for a long time. After she was calmed down, Zhu Luo cautiously probed, "Following the military camp all the way, I was exhausted. It's amazing that you could recognize me at first glance."

Banxia stared wide-eyed at her face, looking her up and down. "Miss has lost weight, but you left the mansion with Madam when you were ten years old to go to the border town. In the six years that have passed, you have grown up and become even more beautiful."

"Six years? That's a long time; things must have changed."

Banxia smiled and said, "Even if things change, your eyes will never change. Miss's eyes are the most beautiful. I have served you since I was a child and I will never forget them. Even the Empress praised you back then."

"Queen?"

"Yes, that's why when the Crown Prince was being selected for the imperial concubine selection, the people from the palace specifically instructed the old lady to make sure you were included, that is..."

Before Zhu Luo could process what was happening, she pressed on, "What is it?"

Banxia snorted coldly and complained bitterly, "It's the Second Miss. Everyone in the Shen family is focused on her. Look at how smug she is. If you didn't know better, you would think she's the Crown Princess now! She's just the daughter of the mistress that the master keeps outside. What's so great about her?"

Zhu Luo gasped.

Isn't this a typical plot from a domestic drama novel?

She became more and more excited as she listened.

“A mistress? Tell me more, uh… I’ve been away for a while, I’ve almost forgotten about things at home, hehe.”

Banxia looked worried, her eyes full of heartache: "Logically speaking, it's a good thing that Miss has forgotten the past, so as to save her from trouble."

“It’s alright, I can handle it,” Zhu Luo patted her shoulder. “Your young lady is no longer the little girl she used to be. She’s seen all sorts of things. Go ahead and tell me.”

Gossip is a must. If that girl on the battlefield really had some injustice, she wouldn't mind avenging her. That's a basic quality of a time traveler, right?

“What Miss says is true. Now that you’re back, it’s better to know her well. When Madam was pregnant with you, Master kept Qi outside the house. The following year, she gave birth to the second young lady. On the eve of your tenth birthday, Master brought Qi back to the mansion. She was ranked above Madam and was to be a secondary wife. Qi’s elder brother, General Qi, has made many outstanding contributions and is a very popular figure in the court. His daughter is the fifth prince’s fiancée.”

"fiancée?"

Zhu Luo remembered that it was General Qi's support that allowed Xiao Mingyan to escape.

However, the credit for this Northern Expedition belonged to General Qi.

"Yes, the palace has spoken. Qi's status cannot be changed. The lady is resolute and immediately decided to divorce the master. The divorce agreement was obtained by General Su. After that year, I separated from the young lady. This separation lasted for six years. Waaah."

The little girl hugged her and started crying again.

Tired from talking, the two decided to rest.

Zhu Luo asked, "Has Banxia brought any change of clothes? All her clothes have been torn and damaged along the way, and there isn't a single decent one."

Banxia hurriedly took out her bundle: "Yes, yes, I brought several sets with me. Let me help you change, Miss."

Zhu Luo laughed and said, "I've grown a lot taller in six years, can you still imagine my size?"

"I have always thought of you, Miss. Year after year, you have grown up in my heart. Yes, you are just as I thought, and even more wonderful."

Banxia pursed her lips, her eyes brimming with a smile.

She was looking at Zhu Luoying's full and rounded chest.

Zhu Luo puffed out her cheeks with a smug look: "That's what I think too."

Dance students shouldn't be fat, but she still has a great figure.

"Hmm? Miss, where is your longevity bracelet?" Banxia noticed the problem.

"What kind of bracelet?"

"It's the one that Madam wore on your wrist since she was little. Did you put it somewhere else?"

Zhu Luo's heart sank.

She simply took the bundle from the girl, but did not take her belongings.

"Haha, the bracelet, I'm afraid I lost it on the battlefield when I was fleeing."

Banxia exclaimed in shock: "It's fallen!"

"It's alright, they're just material possessions," Zhu Luo comforted her.

"How can that be? That was made by Madam Yao using the essence of heaven and earth and all kinds of plants, and she personally put it on you. It's a priceless treasure. Miss, where did you drop it? I'll go find it for you!"

Zhu Luo stared in disbelief and hurriedly held Banxia down: "It fell on the battlefield and might be buried in some mass grave. It's gone forever. Since it was refined by the energy of heaven and earth, returning to nature is like returning to its origin. Don't think about it."

So many days have passed, the bracelet must have been either buried or taken away.

Banxia felt very guilty: "It's all my fault. If I had come out to find you sooner, Miss wouldn't have gone into such a dangerous place."

"Never mind, there's no point in thinking about it. Just help me put it on, I like this one." She casually picked out a bra, which, according to the locals, is called a "liangdang," a vest-style bra, somewhat like a camisole today.

While picking them out, she noticed something interesting: "Did you sew all of these, Banxia?"

"Yes, it was all sewn by me, stitch by stitch, without any help from anyone else."

Zhu Luo thought she had misunderstood: "I didn't doubt you. I just think it's so beautiful. If we sell it in the live stream and add some cultural elements, it should sell well."

Banxia was confused: "Miss, what are you saying? What do you mean by selling? This is an inner garment, how can it be shown to outsiders!"

Zhu Luo snapped out of her reverie: "That's not what I meant. It's just like how clothing stores sell clothes."

"A tailor shop? Miss, you mean you're worried you won't have any nice clothes to wear when you get back? Don't worry, the Empress has sent several boxes of brocade, just waiting for you to come back and decide on the style."

Zhu Luo felt dizzy: "Let's go back and talk about it then."

She touched the delicate embroidery and began to make a plan.

This is authentic ancient costume. Wearing Hanfu is popular now. If it is promoted, it will definitely sell well with the existing craftsmanship.

There were two beds in the guest room, and Zhu Luofei grabbed Banxia and squeezed into the same quilt with her.

Besides wanting to know about Shen Zhuluo's background, she also wanted to know about Xiao Mingyan.

Along the way, her mind was filled with questions. Banxia was her personal maid and her best encyclopedia of the Great Liang Kingdom.

They chatted all night long, and finally went to sleep close to midnight.

In a daze, Zhu Luo was dreaming again.

This time it was even more outrageous. She dreamed of a nobleman wearing a golden crown, walking towards her with the Xuanming Sword in his hand and a hairy, dripping human head in his other hand.

As she approached, a human head was suddenly displayed in front of her.

It was Xiao Mingyan.

She would never forget those dark circles under her eyes, no matter what.

She woke up with a start.

At that moment, Cang Ming's voice came from outside the guest room: "Miss Shen, are you ready? His Highness requests your presence."

She jumped out of bed and, barefoot, asked through the door, "Where is the Prince? Has he said what he wants?"

Cang Xu hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Your Highness originally planned to go to Chenjia Town, but... Your Highness is ill."
