The group of people kowtowed and thanked Shen Lianxin immediately and took the things given by Shen Lianxin.

"Thank you for showing us the way. We will definitely go to Yuncheng!! We won't let you down!"

After this little episode, we finally got close to the capital!

There is someone waiting at Shili Pavilion outside the city! !

"General!! Princess! Crown Prince's Consort! I have been waiting here for a long time in compliance with your majesty's order!!"

Gu Dingbei returned the greeting, "Thank you, Eunuch Liu!"

"Your Majesty has granted Jingyuan as the General's residence in order to honor the General's achievements. I, this old servant, will lead the way for the General!"

Eunuch Liu leads the way, and the convoy follows!

Jingyuan is a famous manor in Kyoto. It has a large area, beautiful scenery and an impeccable geographical location.

It has always been owned by the royal family. It was once considered a royal manor outside the palace. The best thing is that there is a natural hot spring in the garden, which is the best choice for beauty and body care.

Until the previous dynasty, a famous powerful minister emerged, second only to the emperor. In order to show his trust and favor to him, the emperor granted him Jingyuan as a private villa.

After that, the dynasty changed and the powerful official was confiscated, and all his huge assets were put into the state treasury. Jingyuan has been abandoned ever since, with no one living there.

So, no matter how hard you fight or how hard you play, you can never beat the royal family.

This time, Jingyuan was given to Gu Dingbei, on the one hand to show the emperor's favor and reward to him, and on the other hand to warn him that no matter how powerful he is, he is just a minister. Like the previous owner of Jingyuan, no matter how powerful he is, he can still do whatever he wants to you.

The royal prestige cannot be challenged!

When we arrived at Jingyuan, it was indeed gorgeous and grand!

In Kyoto, where every inch of land is valuable, it is quite a luxury to have an area halfway up the mountain.

Because it was given to Gu Dingbei as a reward, the emperor was so kind as to renovate it in advance.

Living in Jingyuan now feels like living in a castle.

The courtyard where Shen Lianxin lived was still called Huatingyuan. Because she was used to it, she immediately changed its name to the same as the palace.

Princess Chaoyang chose Xilanyuan, a place with beautiful scenery not far from Gu Dingbei.

There were even more courtyards that were empty. Shen Lian thought that with such a large courtyard, the servants brought from the palace might not be enough.

Fortunately, among the people the princess gave her, there were several experienced stewards who had worked as housekeepers in the palace for many years.

Shen Lian was thinking about buying a few more capable servants to do the rough work.

It’s better to have your own people serving you personally.

Unexpectedly, the imperial edict came right after I arrived.

She was an old maid in the palace, who brought about ten young and beautiful girls to the general's mansion.

"Crown Princess!" She first bowed to Shen Lianxin politely.

Then he bowed even more to Princess Chaoyang, "Your Highness!"

Princess Chaoyang raised her eyelids and glanced at Shen Lianxin. It was obvious that the people in the palace gave her, Princess Chaoyang, more face.

Seeing that Shen Lianxin's expression remained unchanged, he also lost interest in disappointment.

"Well, get up and talk!"

"According to the Imperial Concubine's order, the General and his wife have come from afar and have no base in Kyoto. I'm afraid that they may not have enough manpower in such a large Jingyuan. So, the Imperial Concubine asked me to pick some capable maids and send them over."

He introduced them with a smile, "This is red dye, blue dye, yellow dye, green dye, indigo dye, purple dye, orange dye, ink dye, crimson dye and bamboo dye!"

“These girls are proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are good at singing and dancing, and they are also good at making tea and composing poems! This Mo Ran is an expert at massage!! Jiang Ran and Zhu Ran are the best at chatting and making people happy, hahahaha!!”

"Ah! Um, quickly greet the Crown Princess and the Princess!!"

Several girls are so charming! !

"Crown Princess! Your Highness!"

Shen Lianxin was speechless. What a name? If I didn't know, I would have thought she opened a dyeing factory!

And these women, are they sure they are here to help her? They are so soft and flirtatious, they are obviously here to seduce her!

What kind of work can this do?

She didn’t know the imperial concubine in the palace, but she couldn’t offend her. She had just arrived and was causing trouble. Shen Lianxin was secretly complaining! Was she trying to use the beauty trap to win over Gu Dingbei?

It wasn't show on his face, he forced a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes!

"Thank you, Madam Concubine, for your consideration! Thank you, Madam."

Princess Chaoyang rolled her eyes at the maids and said angrily, "You all look like foxy girls. I wonder what you can do here?"

The old nanny smiled awkwardly. Princess Chaoyang was notoriously domineering and she didn't dare to offend her.

He quickly took his leave.

Looking at these girls, Shen Lianxin frowned. This weak little girl would probably not be able to do the rough work in the garden outside, and keeping her around would only cause trouble for her.

Princess Chaoyang seemed to be enjoying the show. Anyway, she had enough servants under her, and they were all her own people, so she didn't need to worry about this.

It would be fine to put her next to Gu Dingbei, since Gu Dingbei ignored her anyway. Of course, she didn't want Gu Dingbei to have another woman, but she was happy to make things difficult for Shen Lianxin.

"I wonder what my sister is going to do with these people?" Princess Chaoyang was a little gloating.

Shen Lianxin looked at her and asked, "Princess, what do you think?"

"The one who can do massage should be given to the general. The general is busy, and having someone who can do it can help him relax! The one who can coax people is also good. Let him grind ink in the study room. How about that?"

Shen Lianxin would have to be crazy to place all these people around Gu Dingbei.

It’s not that he was afraid that Gu Dingbei would be seduced away, but these people were not from good backgrounds and they might be the emperor’s spies.

Besides, it's not necessary to bother Gu Dingbei with such a small matter.

"Life is short and hard. Why think about men all the time? The one who knows how to massage! Come on, give me a couple of massages to test your skills!"

When Mo Ran heard this, he immediately stepped forward happily and started to massage Shen Lianxin. The Crown Prince's Concubine had tested her skills, and if she passed, she might be allowed to give massage to the Crown Prince directly.

Of course he had to seize this opportunity, and Mo Ran pressed the button extremely carefully and seriously.

"Hmm! You know what, it's really comfortable!" Mo Ran practiced massage skills for several years and even studied Chinese medicine. He is very accurate in finding acupuncture points.

The strength of his hands is not small, and he has practiced it like a martial arts. His professionalism is far higher than that of many modern Chinese medicine clinics.

Shen Lianxin felt so comfortable after being pressed twice that she wanted to sleep. It was really a good skill, Shen Lianxin was very satisfied.

"Not bad, not bad!! From now on you will serve in my room, and Qiyue will be in charge of you!! Your cooking skills are really good!! Princess, do you want to try it?"

Princess Chaoyang was speechless. Shen Lianxin was really enjoying herself. She wasn't afraid that Mo Ran would end up on Gu Dingbei's bed one day. What a stupid woman! Princess Chaoyang complained in her heart.

Mo Ran agreed, and was happy in her heart. Being by the side of the Crown Prince's wife, she would have the chance to see the Crown Prince. She would also have many opportunities.

"What talents do you guys have?"

Several people looked at each other, then stepped forward.

"I can play the piano"
