If I can seize this opportunity, then my father won't need to be so careful in trying to please my mother.
They would also receive special care within their clan.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted by this.
"Hasn't the Tiger Clan made any arrangements?"
How could they possibly get such a good deal?
The woman rolled her eyes at her.
As expected of someone from the countryside, they have no sense of propriety.
However, she still smiled and said, "The tiger clan has given birth to cubs, so those who serve them closely must avoid suspicion."
Bai Sang'er understood.
Patriarchy.
Within the family, the status of the offspring follows that of the father. In the struggle for patriarchal power, the person who serves them closely cannot be from the father's clan, so they can only be chosen from outside the family. It is better if they have no connection or business dealings with the father's clan.
Having figured this out, Bai Sang'er wrapped herself in her feathered robe and went out.
Raindrops fell in strings onto the feathers of the Sky-Piercing Bird, wetting her animal-hide sandals, but she didn't feel cold.
You cannot go to the clan chief.
Even the sub-mother who gave birth to three cubs had to find a way to speak to him, which shows that the clan leader already had a chosen one in mind, and it was not something she could change on her own.
You also cannot go to see the female concubine.
Given the nature of the concubine, she probably wouldn't accept servants. There are also rules to giving gifts: how to give them, to whom to give them, and the reason for giving them. It all depends on what the gift-giver says.
The person who gave this gift is Lord Qiyue.
Lady Qiyue is of noble status and is not someone she can presume to meet.
She was going to seek an introduction from the great witch doctor.
The great witch doctor recognized Bai Sang'er and greeted her as she approached, asking, "Why are you so soaked? Are you sick?"
"No, I... I wish to request an audience with Lord Qiyue."
Bai Sang'er looked up. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and thunder rumbled through the mountains and fields, making her heart pound.
The great witch doctor felt embarrassed. The news had only been out for half an hour, and people who wanted to get in through his connections had already arrived in droves.
"It's really unfortunate. Lord Qiyue has been staying at home and refusing visitors lately. I'm afraid he won't show up until the day he sets off."
Bai Sang'er knelt down immediately: "Please, Doctor, do me a favor."
"Oh dear, get up quickly."
The great witch doctor quickly helped him up, but Bai Sang'er couldn't get up. Her father had said that opportunities don't wait for anyone, and if you want to seize them, you have to fight for them yourself. If she wanted to climb up, she had to rely on her own abilities.
"Please, sir, introduce me to someone," she repeated, as the torrential rain lashed her face, trickling down her cheeks and rolling to the ground.
"This..." Females are usually delicate, so for her to act like this must mean she has a strong will.
The great witch doctor was satisfied, but he couldn't make a decision for Qi Yue: "How about this, I'll go ask. Of course, I can't guarantee anything."
Bai Sang'er quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Witch Doctor."
"Get up right away."
......
Qi Yue was surprised that the Great Witch Doctor would come.
Bai Sang'er?
He had an impression.
It was mainly because Mu Yunyun praised her, saying she was skilled and that the task of getting her fans was entrusted to her.
He composed himself and said, "Let her in."
A charcoal fire was burning inside. Bai Sang'er came in, dripping wet. The heat enveloped her, slightly easing her frozen body.
She knelt down close, not daring to raise her head; the heavy atmosphere seemed to envelop her like a powerful pressure.
The ancient lineage, the master of the Jiang River, is someone far beyond the reach of someone of her status.
"Are you from the Nightingale clan?"
"Yes." Bai Sang'er felt her breathing become heavy.
"The Nightingale Clan has not yet reached the high level, so your strength is probably insufficient."
Bai Sang'er's heart skipped a beat, and she crawled even lower, not daring to breathe. She forgot all the words she had prepared, and her mind went completely blank.
Qi Yue had no intention of making things difficult for her.
What are your thoughts on the Tiger Clan?
Bai Sang'er stared at the ground and cautiously said, "That's against the rules."
"How to say?"
"Etiquette and law are paramount, and there is a clear distinction between the superior and the inferior."
"She's the kind of person who doesn't care about these things."
Bai Sang'er's body was tense and trembling.
"But it's quite remarkable that you think this way."
"I dare not. The lady is destined for great things, and those below her should offer timely advice and guidance."
Qi Yue nodded without revealing any emotion, but asked one last question.
"Whom do you serve as your master?"
These words made Bai Sang'er's blood freeze instantly.
Sweat dripped from his cheeks onto the ground.
She knew that if she didn't answer this question well, all her hopes might be dashed and there would be no turning back.
Bai Sang'er's voice was humble and earnest: "One cannot serve two masters. When serving the concubine, of course the concubine should be the master. However, my father often says that one should not forget one's roots. If the master gives instructions, I will do my best without being in a difficult situation."
"Very well, get up."
"Yes."
Bai Sang'er stood up, her legs already weak.
"She's always been mischievous, so you must be careful and attentive in everything you do while serving her."
It's a success!
Bai Sang'er was thrilled and couldn't wait to go back and tell her father.
"Also, she likes to show off and is very competitive. Tell her to be careful during this autumn hunt and not to overestimate her abilities."
"Yes."
"Besides, the people around her are all troublesome; we should tell them not to cause any trouble that would make them a laughing stock."
What does it mean?
Why does that sound so strange?
Bai Sang'er couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.
She was sent to serve the concubine in order to strengthen the future friendship between the two clans, which was a common practice among clans.
But Lord Qiyue's words...
Just like... just like...
Bai Sang'er couldn't find the right adjective.
At the very least, it shouldn't be Lord Qiyue's concern to care about the affairs of the concubines' quarters.
It sounds like... like what her adoptive father said.
Her father-in-law was born into a large clan. After marrying her mother, he held a very prominent position in the clan and was highly respected among his partners. He often advised them to behave themselves and not cause trouble.
This was also what Mother hoped for, saying that there should be a distinction between superiors and inferiors, and that all matters, big and small, in the family should be decided by Father, which is called distinguishing between the inner and outer.
In the South China Sea, someone with the title of "Father-in-Law" is called "Lord." They don't have that title in the North China Sea, but their status is the same.
She then thought of the rumors.
Rumor has it that Lady Qiyue's partner is Lady Yingji, since only those of ancient bloodlines can give birth to a child. However, the Emperor Jiang clan looks down on the Jiangshui Qi clan, which is why they haven't given her a formal title. Even the Qi clan only tells the outside world that the child's mother has died.
However, for the sake of the cubs, they will inevitably need to find a substitute mother in the future.
Now you can understand it.
It would be wonderful if the female princess could become the mother of the cub.
Bai Sang'er was pleased. She gave her farewells and prepared to leave.
In that instant when she looked up, she swore, she really swore, that she had only glanced at it by chance, and caught a glimpse of a faint teeth mark on Lord Qiyue's neck.
Bai Sang'er quickly lowered her head and left.
The tooth mark had scabbed over on her neck. Bai Sang'er had no partner, but even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had at least seen pigs run.
That was clearly left after they got close, but Lord Qiyue has already formed a contract, so how could she get close to someone?
No.
Who has the guts to bite Lord Qiyue!
