Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

The carriage left the capital and headed southwest.

After walking for most of the day, the dull atmosphere in the carriage became a little depressing. Yunling quietly raised her eyes and looked at Cui Qiyan, who was leaning on the carriage with his eyes closed several times.

"Ask whatever you want."

Cui Qiyan seemed to have an extra pair of invisible eyes, and his sudden voice startled her.

Yunling saw that his eyes were not open and he was still in the same posture. If they were not the only two in the carriage, she would have suspected that someone else said what he just said.

The silence was broken, Yunling cleared her throat and asked, "Slave, can I ask where our destination is?"

"Yuzhou." Two words came out of Cui Qiyan's mouth.

Yunling didn't have much idea about places other than the Duke's Palace, so she asked in a low voice: "Is Yuzhou far from the capital? How long does it take to get there?"

Cui Qiyan slowly opened his eyes, "This method will take four days."

Yunling heard the implication in his words, "It's the servant who has slowed down the prince's schedule."

"Don't call me Prince during this trip. When I leave the capital, my identity is Nie Zengqian, the Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Cui Qiyan warned her out of fear that she would get into trouble.

Yunling was stunned. The thing that allowed him to change his identity and go to do it was probably not an ordinary errand. As for what she knew, it would be useless to ask. He would definitely not tell her.

"Then what do you call me, sir? Sir?"

"what ever."

After that, the two of them were silent for a while, until Ji Bai stopped the carriage when it got dark.

"Master, the inn has arrived."

Yunling stood up and opened the curtain for Cui Qiyan, letting him get off first, and then followed him.

After riding in the carriage for a day, all the bones in her body were stiff. As soon as she came out, she felt refreshed. I haven’t had time to feel it more, Cui Qiyan

She walked straight into the inn, and she and Ji Bai followed him from left to right.

The inn was deserted, and they saw no one when they entered. Once inside, a short man stumbled out.

"Young man is the postmaster here. May I ask who this lord is?"

Cui Qiyan took out his badge from his body.

Yi Cheng took a closer look and immediately saluted, "I have met Lord Nie."

"Prepare three rooms for us, and bring some hot water and food." Cui Qiyan took back his badge.

"Yes, yes, Master Nie, please follow me upstairs."

The three of them followed him upstairs. Yi Cheng walked in front and opened the door of a room, went inside and lit the candle. "This place is simple and simple, but this one is considered to be the best. I have wronged Master Nie."

Yunling took a quick look and found that the room was not as spacious as the one she and Meng Dong lived in the Duke's Mansion. The furniture was also a little older, and the edge of the only table was polished and rounded, without any edges.

Cui Qiyan didn't care at all, "When working outside, you don't pay attention to these things."

"Master Nie is a good official at first sight. Please sit down for a moment and the food will be here soon."

Then Yi Cheng pointed out their residences to Yunling and Ji Bai, and then went down to prepare.

Ji Bai turned around and went back to put away Cui Qiyan's things.

Yunling stood aside not knowing what to do, as if these things were of no use to her.

Cui Qiyan pointed to a bundle on the stool, "Take it out and make a pot of tea."

Yunling consciously went over to open the bag and saw that in the box inside was a complete set of tea sets and a few bags of the tea he often drank. Unexpectedly, he didn't care much about the environment where he lived, but he brought these things with him all the way.

She took out the tea cup and tea and said, "I'll go right away, sir. Please wait a moment, sir."

she arrived

She found Yi Cheng downstairs and asked him to take her to the dining room to boil water.

Yi Cheng looked at the exquisite tea cup in her hand and couldn't help but sigh, "Master Nie deserves to be from the capital. Everything he uses is so beautiful."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Ling unintentionally and thought to himself: With such a beautiful maid when he goes out, Lord Nie doesn't look like a master who can handle practical matters.

Yunling just smiled and said nothing.

There were two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, in the dining room, both of whom were busy.

Yi Cheng shouted to the woman: "Mr. Sun, help this girl boil some hot water."

Mrs. Sun was tall and round, and she turned around with an impatient expression on her face. She was startled when she saw Yunling clearly, "Young lady is the distinguished guest tonight? She is so beautiful."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man who was shaking the spoon next to her also looked over. Grandma Sun raised her arms and slapped him heavily on the back, "What are you looking at? You are probably older than this girl's father, so you are not ashamed. Work quickly and be careful not to neglect the distinguished guests."

The man groaned and shrank back. He didn't dare to look back. He just complained: "You bitch, I was just curious to take a look. What are you talking about?"

"You two are going back to fight. The adults are waiting upstairs, so be smart!" Yi Cheng said loudly.

"Girl, follow me." Mrs. Sun narrowed her eyes into two slits as she smiled.

"Thank you." Yunling followed her to the next cubicle, where the smell of oil smoke was smaller.

"The water in the urn is the mountain spring water that was just delivered this morning. It is most suitable for making tea." Grandma Sun took a ladle of water and showed it to her.

Yunling nodded, "Aunt Sun, go and do your work. I'll do it myself."

Just fine. "

"Okay, call me if you need anything." Grandma Sun poured the water back, put down the ladle and walked out.

Yunling boiled water to make tea herself, and the whole process was done by others. Cui Qiyan seemed to be the most picky in this aspect, and he could taste every slight difference.

Tea was delivered and meals were prepared.

Cui Qiyan had three simple dishes and one soup. After eating a small portion of each dish, he put down his chopsticks, raised his head and said to Yunling and Ji Bai: "Take the things away and go back to rest. We have to continue our journey tomorrow morning."

"The slaves retire."

"Young man, if you're not tired, I'll clean it up for you."

Yunling and Ji Bai spoke at the same time, showing their loyalty to their master.

Cui Qiyan lowered his eyes and looked at Yunling's legs that were eager to step back, and waved his hands fiercely, "Get off, don't be an eyesore."

Ji Bai was confused and didn't know what he said wrong.

Yunling ignored this and was the first to exit the room and find her own room. Her room was smaller, but a meal was also served on the table. She finished eating while it was hot, fetched some water, freshened herself up, and lay down on the bed.

However, the bed board beneath her was too hard, and the bedding still had a musty smell that had not been exposed to the sun for a long time. She was curled up, very tired, but not sleepy. She was half asleep and half awake all night, but when she was about to fall asleep, she was awakened by the crowing of roosters in the backyard. She endured it, but finally gave in to the rooster's crowing, which was louder than the previous one, and sat up from the bed.

Yunling packed up and yawned and walked out of the room. Unexpectedly, she almost bumped into Cui Qiyan as soon as she came out. She woke up immediately and stifled a mid-yawn, "Shi... Master, are you up so early?"

Her pair of apricots were filled with tears, very

He obviously didn't look awake. This was the first time Cui Qiyan saw her like this. He turned away and said, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

"Slave, I can't sleep. I'm going to make tea for you."

Cui Qiyan said no more and walked downstairs.
