"Sister, I'm afraid you've been with the concubine for too long and your brain has become less sharp. Have you forgotten that the prince gave me the power of housekeeper?" Nian Shilan said sarcastically.

These words choked Li Wanting.

"I am tired, I will leave first, and will not bother you any more." Nian Shilan bowed and turned away. Yixiu had no choice but to agree.

Everyone didn't want to stay in Yixiu's room any longer, but they didn't dare to say it out loud because of the difference in status. And Nian Shilan's departure was a good start, and everyone left one after another.

"Concubine, when I entered just now, I saw Cao Qinmo was wearing the sachet you gave her. It seems that she really likes it. She has lived up to Concubine's kindness."

Songzhi smiled, looking arrogant and cute.

"Hmph, she is quite obedient. Just take her with you every day." Nian Shilan returned to her room with the help of Songzhi.

"Jixiang, have you found what I want?" Qi Yuebin looked at Jixiang expectantly, hoping that she could give him a satisfactory answer.

Jixiang was also very respectful to Qi Yuebin, not daring to overstep the boundaries. She bowed and said, "Concubine, I have tried my best to send people to look for it. The master replied that it would take another day. I will go and get it when the time comes."

"Okay."

Qi Yuebin nodded with satisfaction.

Jixiang said from the side: "Concubine, look, since you left Concubine Nian's room yesterday, she has not spoken to you at all today. Is it really worth it for you to do this?"

"It's worth it. Since I entered the mansion, I have been living a peaceful life. I am not favored, and the legitimate wife may not like me. Only the former wife can say something, but now, she is gone. For so many years, I have been alone, until the concubine came into the mansion, I felt a little happy."

Qi Yuebin couldn't help but recall how Nian Shilan looked when she first entered the mansion. She was just like herself, innocent and naive. It was as if she saw herself in the past, carefree. But now, she had to be wary of everyone else, except Nian Shilan.

The two were talking when they were interrupted by Fei Yunyan who came in from outside.

"Greetings to Concubine Fujin."

Isn't she from Li Wanting's room? Why is she here? She came here uninvited. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary.

"Get up. Why are you here, Figg? My place is remote, it's hard for you to find me here."

Qi Yuebin still looked very friendly.

Fei Yunyan felt a little embarrassed by the sudden visit. "Sister, you are joking. It is my duty to visit you. I should have come on the day I entered the mansion, but I delayed it until today. It is my fault. Please don't blame me."

Fei Yunyan's mouth was like honey, she only said nice things. Qi Yuebin was good-tempered, and naturally she wouldn't be angry when Fei Yunyan said that. But he didn't have much contact with her, and she came here suddenly today, so he should be careful.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Few people come here. I am very happy that you are here. How can I blame you?"

Qi Yuebin said with a polite smile.

Fei Yunyan also responded, but her eyes were not idle, constantly wandering around Qi Yuebin's room. How come Qi Yuebin, as a concubine, lives in such a poor environment? Not to mention the gold, silver and jade, why are the furniture she uses so shabby? Not favored? But if she is so unfavored, how come her words are so important that even Nian Shilan listens to her.

"As a concubine, why do you live in such a remote place? And the environment is also..." Fei Yunyan couldn't help but ask.

"I like quietness. Also, there are many people in this palace, so the prince's expenses are bound to be higher. As a concubine, I can only lead by example and be frugal, but it's useless."

Qi Yuebin made up an excuse and put on a helpless smile.

After hearing Qi Yue say this, Fei Yunyan also had some thoughts in her mind.

"exquisite."

He casually took the hairpin from Linglong's hand. It was very exquisite. The jade was obviously made of top-quality material. It was white, transparent, gentle and smooth.

Fei Yunyan then handed the hairpin to Qi Yuebin: "Please accept it, Concubine."

Seeing Fei Yunyan's action, Qi Yuebin finally knew what she was here for. He reached out and gently pushed the gift away.

He said bluntly: "If you want to find someone to rely on, you can find anyone. You really don't need to waste your time on me. I don't want to argue or fight. I'm used to it. But you really don't need to waste your best years on me."

Qi Yuebin politely refused just because he didn't want to have too much involvement with her. Anyone who could say such words in front of Yinzhen was naturally not a smart person. If he got involved with her, he would not know how he would die in the future. It would be better to give this hot potato to Yixiu.

Before Fei Yunyan came, she had not thought that Qi Yuebin would not accept her gift. She had been choosing for a long time in her room, and this hairpin was her most impressive gift. When she came to Qi Yuebin's room and saw the scene of her residence, she was even more certain that Qi Yuebin would accept it. After all, she didn't have such a good thing in her room, but she never thought that she would be rejected.

After being rejected, the hand holding the hairpin hung in the air at a loss, "Concubine, you..."

"I don't want it. Thank you for your kindness. Since I won't fight, how can I delay you? Please go back." Qi Yuebin smiled and said, "Jixiang, see you off."

After saying that, Qi Yuebin stood up and went to the bedroom, leaving Jixiang alone outside the hall.

"Please in, Princess." Jixiang said as he pointed in the direction of the gate.

Since they had already ordered her to leave, it would be inconvenient for her to stay here. Fei Yunyan rolled her eyes towards the house and left angrily.

"You are nothing but an unfavored concubine! How dare you give me the cold shoulder! If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. Well, there are still many days to come." Fei Yunyan said viciously, with a look as if she wanted to eat someone.

"Yes, yes, Princess, don't be angry. You are blessed by the grace of God, so you don't have to be afraid of her." Linglong fanned the flames.

As luck would have it, Cao Qinmo happened to see their conversation. She heard everything clearly. She was Nian Shilan's person, and Qi Yuebin and Nian Shilan were like sisters. She couldn't let go of this opportunity to show her loyalty. What's more, Fei Yunyan had humiliated her before, and she hated her to the extreme. So don't blame yourself for being unjust.

"Yinxiu, let's go."

"Yes."

With nothing to do, Nian Shilan was sitting in the yard admiring the flowers with Feng Ruozhao.
