During the reign of Emperor Tianyuan Yan, Qingge followed Qingxiao. He was mature beyond his years. Although he was only thirteen years old, he always had an aloof and arrogant demeanor. Therefore, apart from Qingxiao, few people made friends with him.

Today, Qing Xiao gave him a beggar and asked him to find out the man's identity and teach him the rules and etiquette.

Looking at the dirty girl in front of him, Qingge's heart, which had never wavered, softened rarely. He reached out and took the girl's hand without any disgust at the dirt on the girl's hands.

The girl seemed very afraid of him. Her big round eyes revealed fear, and even her hands, which he was holding, were shaking slightly.

Knowing that this was the maid chosen by the eldest lady, Qingge did not dare to neglect her and kept reminding herself in her heart not to displease the eldest lady and the young master.

He squatted down for a rare time and showed a relatively gentle smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. The lady who brought you back asked me to take you to clean up."

The girl's big round eyes lit up instantly, like a lit candle, illuminating the surrounding environment.

She seems to really like Qingyun.

Seeing that she was no longer afraid, Qingge finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He has plenty of ways to deal with bad guys, but he is powerless against a young girl who is ignorant of the ways of the world.

The girl was very dirty and smelled bad. As she had not eaten enough for a long time, she was short and weak. She was five years old, but only as tall as a three-year-old. Only her big, bright black eyes stood out.

The hand that Qingge held in his hand was also thin and small, which made his heart soften even more.

The maids were called to wash the girl first, and then change her into a simple dress. When the girl came out again, she was no longer as shabby as before. If she could gain some more flesh, people would believe her even if she said she was someone's rich daughter.

But the girl seemed to dislike the attention. She pulled at her clothes awkwardly and lowered her head, not daring to look up.

Qingge squatted down again, and his cold tone softened, feeling a little awkward.

"But this dress doesn't fit?".

The girl hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head, "No, no, it's just..."

"Just what?".

The girl looked at him cautiously and said, "I...I want to see...Miss..."

The girl's voice was so soft that Qingge could only hear it if she was very close to her.

After understanding the girl's thoughts, he nodded and said, "Of course you can, but you have to learn the rules first."

"Learn the rules?" The girl seemed confused, her big round eyes full of confusion.

"Well, only those who learn the rules well can stay with the lady."

Although she didn't understand, the girl nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I will learn the rules and stay with the lady."

Qingge smiled, handed the person over to the housekeeper, and went to investigate the girl's background.

The more I investigated, the more I felt sorry for the girl, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

The girl's original name was Yuan Yuan. She was the daughter of an ordinary vegetable farmer and the only child in the family.

Life was originally very peaceful, but the vegetable farmer's wife was murdered by gangsters when she returned to her parents' home to visit her relatives, and the vegetable farmer remarried.

The second wife didn't like his ex-wife's child, and the vegetable farmers also disliked Yuan Yuan more and more, so they joined forces to sell the child to a human trafficker.

However, the human trafficker later offended someone and died, and the children in his hands became beggars on the streets.

Being young and a girl, Yuanyuan’s life as a beggar was not easy. Fortunately, she had the help of other little beggars and managed to survive. Later, she was spotted by Qingyun by chance.

After investigating and confirming that it was indeed an accident, Qingge reported the result to Qingxiao.

Afterwards, this maid became the last of the four maids around Qingyun, and had her own name, Dongxue.

Qingge also watched Dongxue grow from a skinny little girl to the well-behaved and lovely young woman she is today, and the more she watched, the happier she became.

He also contributed a lot to feeding the food, and gave a lot of money to the kitchen. Otherwise, the kitchen wouldn't have informed Dongxue as soon as there was something delicious.

Of course, Dongxue didn't know all this. In her eyes, Qingge was nothing more than a serious guard, who was cold and difficult to approach.

In the Tianyuan Yan year, Qingyun took Dongxue to attend the spring banquet at the residence of Minister Chu, but after returning in the evening, Dongxue never dared to leave her room again.

Qingge knew the reason at the first time, but before he could kill someone to take revenge, Qingyun had already avenged Dongxue, so he could only hate himself for his incompetence.

The next day, Qingyun issued a strict order in the mansion, forcing no one to mention the matter again, and the mansion remained silent for the time being.

But as time went on, Dongxue couldn't stay in the room all the time.

That day, she happily went to find Qingyun with the kite, but was told that Qingyun was not in the house. She had to sit alone on the steps in disappointment, staring at the kite in her hand in a daze.

"Isn't this Dongxue who is beside the princess? How dare you come out?"

"Who said it wasn't true? After something like that happened, she has no shame at all."

"That's right, they say it's Young Master Chu's fault, maybe she just failed to get close to a rich and powerful person and is biting back."

"Hmph, who cares if she is or not? If it were me, I would have been ashamed to live in this world long ago."

"In that case, then you guys go to hell."

A cold voice sounded from behind, frightening the two maids. When they turned around, they met Qingge's eyes full of murderous intent. They were so scared that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so quick to speak. I know I was wrong, I beg the guards to let me go."

The other maid was also frightened. She reached out and grabbed Qingge's clothes, her eyes moving and her movements coy.

Qingge felt disgusted when she saw this and kicked the man away.

Without paying any attention to the two men's pleas, he said coldly: "The princess has ordered that gossipers should not be allowed in the Prime Minister's Mansion. So I will sell you two out today."

"No, no...", the two maids were dragged away with terrified faces.

Dongxue sat and watched the whole thing without any change in expression, except for a bright smile when she looked at Qingge.

He moved his sitting butt to the side and patted the seat next to him, "Come here."

Qingge was stunned for a moment, then sat stiffly beside her. The tips of her ears were slightly pink, but she didn't dare to look up at her. She could only smell the sweet fragrance of the girl, indicating that she was right beside her.

I heard the sweet and soft voice of a girl, "Thank you, Brother Qing."

"No...no..., I'm just...enforcing the law impartially."

Dongxue smiled and said, "I know, but I still want to thank Brother Qing."

She suddenly felt that this guard was not as cold as she saw him.
