Just as Nian Shilan thought, she smiled slightly and turned to look outside the house. There was a woman cleaning the courtyard. Songzhi also noticed it. She exchanged glances with Nian Shilan and went out to call the woman in, "You, you, come here!"

Hearing the shout, the woman put down the broom in her hand and ran over, "What do you want, young lady?"

"Follow me in!" Songzhi looked arrogant, which could be seen from the way they were dressed. One was the master's personal maid, and the other was a servant who did rough work, the lowest servant.

Songzhi brought her to Nian Shilan and bowed, "Concubine." The woman next to her lowered her head and stood behind Songzhi, not daring to speak.

"What's your name?" Nian Shilan asked.

"This servant is Baojuan."

"How about letting Baojuan serve my sister from now on?" Nian Shilan smiled at An Lingrong.

"Just follow your arrangements, sister. I'll obey you in everything." An Lingrong smiled and lowered her head again. Her long eyelashes looked particularly beautiful.

"Baojuan, you don't have to do rough work anymore. Just follow Miss Lingrong and serve her." Nian Shilan said to Baojuan, but there seemed to be other meanings in his eyes.

"Yes, thank you, Concubine, thank you, Concubine." Baojuan knelt aside and kowtowed to express her gratitude.

Nian Shilan played with her slender white fingers, her tone cold: "If you work hard, you will get benefits. If I find out that you didn't take good care of Miss Lingrong, don't blame me for punishing you."

"Yes, I will do my best." Baojuan was so scared that her waist bent a little more.

An Lingrong, who was sitting next to her, also widened her eyes in shock. Ever since she knew Nian Shilan, she had the impression that she was only gentle and easy to talk to. She had never seen Nian Shilan have such a vicious side.

On weekdays, Nian Shilan treated the servants very well. However, she was Baojuan! In the last life, she was the one who betrayed Nian Shilan and became Yixiu's person. This time, she must not be schemed against by this person again!

Then, Nian Shilan immediately changed her attitude, "You scared my sister, don't be afraid, if the servants don't discipline her like this, she won't obey."

"Yes, Lingrong has learned from you."

"It's getting late. I'm going back home. You should take a rest, sister." Supported by Songzhi, Nian Shilan stood up and left.

"Farewell, sister."

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival...

Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and all the princes, concubines, and the emperor gathered together in the Qianqing Palace.

"The emperor is here!" Li Dequan shouted.

"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor." everyone said in unison.

"Please sit down. Today is a family dinner. There is no need to be so restrained." The emperor waved his hand with a smile. The usually majestic emperor became very friendly at this moment.

Yinsi suddenly stood up and picked up the wine glass, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, your son would like to offer a toast to Your Majesty." The emperor also smiled and took a sip of wine.

Upon seeing this, Yinzhen said sarcastically, "Oh, eighth brother's house arrest has been lifted." Upon hearing this, Yinsi also noticed Yinzhen's eyes on him.

He smiled hypocritically and said, "Yes, thanks to Fourth Brother."

The two brothers have their own ulterior motives. On the surface, they appear to be friendly and respectful to each other, but in reality, there is a lot of hostility between them and neither of them will give in to the other.

"Shilan, come, eat this." Yinzhen brought a plate of fine grapes to Shilan.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shilan said coquettishly.

Yixiu sat aside and watched all this. In front of everyone, the prince actually favored her to such an extent.

The Seventeenth Prince, Yinli, who was standing by, also noticed all this and said jokingly, "I haven't seen you for a long time. My brother is so caring. This sister-in-law seems to have never seen this before."

"Haha, no way. You kid, maybe you will grow up to be more caring than your brother. You can tell at first glance that you are a romantic man." When he said this, everyone in the room laughed, even the emperor who was sitting on the upper seat.

"You have never met this sister-in-law. She is the sister of Nian Gengyao, your fourth brother who just got married not long ago. In the future, I will find a good marriage for you." The emperor looked at Shufei, and the two looked at each other and then at Yinli.

Yinli was not happy to hear this, "My son doesn't want to get married. With so many women, he can't take care of them all. How can one person live happily?"

"You kid, you know how to enjoy yourself the most." Yinzhen looked at Yinli and said.

"I guess this must be Prince Guo." Nian Shilan stood up, with mixed feelings in her heart. If Yinzhen could be as loyal as Prince Guo, then... Alas, this is human nature and it cannot be changed.

"Yes, hello, sister-in-law." Yinli was also very polite.

"You are really talented and beautiful." Nian Shilan praised him and sat down next to Yinzhen...

……

Prince Yong's Palace.

"Ruyi, look, the moon is so beautiful tonight." Feng Ruozhao sat alone on the couch, looking out the window. He didn't know why such beautiful moonlight had a sense of desolation.

"Yes, Princess, it is beautiful, but it is getting late and you should rest." Ruyi stood aside, but could see her master's sadness.

Feng Ruozhao shook his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the moon. "Under the same moonlight, some people are singing and dancing, while others are sad alone. Alas, he probably won't remember me at this moment." Jixiang, who was standing aside, felt so distressed to see his master like this.

She stepped forward to comfort him, "Princess, don't worry. How could the prince not remember you? He just promoted you, how could he not remember you? Maybe the prince has been busy these days and didn't come to see you."

"Knock knock knock." The door rang.

"Ruozhao, are you asleep?" Qi Yuebin's voice came from outside the door.

"Yes, sister. Jixiang, go and open the door." Feng Ruozhao ordered, immediately wiped away his tears, and prepared to welcome Qi Yuebin.

"Greetings to Concubine Fujin." Jixiang opened the door and bowed. Qi Yuebin walked into the room with a smile, "Sister."

"Sister, why are you here so late? It's even more dewy." Feng Ruozhao said with a smile, holding Qi Yuebin's hand.

"Sit down quickly."

"I knew you weren't asleep, so I thought of coming over to see you." Qi Yuebin sat down.

"Jixiang, go serve tea to the concubine." Feng Ruozhao ordered. The hot tea was placed in front of Qi Yuebin, and she sighed, "Hmm, such a fragrant tea. Unlike my tea, the prince felt it had a musty smell after taking a sip." As she spoke, her tone became a little sad.

"Oh, sister, what are you talking about? I usually can't bear to drink these teas. They are carefully preserved so that they don't smell moldy. Alas, we live in the same room, and Concubine Nian drinks the best Snow-Top Green Tea every day, but we don't have that blessing." Feng Ruozhao sighed, but she was not jealous, because Nian Shilan had helped her out of a difficult situation.

Alas, it was just fate that a cup of tea made the two of them so sad.
