Sudiya is an exotic beauty.

She has long, slightly curly black hair, emerald-like eyes, and skin whiter than milk.

Just like her name, it means the best and the best on the grassland.

Unfortunately, fate is unpredictable.

When she was born, when her parents happily gave her this name, how could they have imagined that her future fate would be so rough?

If being poor but beautiful is like the sin of possessing a treasure, then Sudiya, as the daughter of the tribal chief, born in the war-torn Beirong, meant disaster.

Qin Yaoguang thought about her past and felt pity for her.

Such a beautiful woman, now wearing a coarse cloth dress that wrapped herself tightly, with her shoulders hunched and her head buried, standing as stiff as a log.

The war destroyed her entire life. Her father and brothers were killed in front of her, and she and her mother were abducted.

Not only her family, but also the tribe was doomed to be destroyed as all the young and strong died and the women, cattle and sheep were taken as spoils by the victors.

Because of her youth and beauty, she was abducted and presented to the largest tribal leader on the grassland. He then gave her as a gift in order to win over the officials of the Da Jing Dynasty.

She is not a person, but a precious gift.

When the nobleman got tired of playing with her, she was sold to a brothel because of her excessive beauty and the mistress became disgusted with her.

That was the last bit of surplus value in her, and it was all squeezed out.

Once upon a time, she thought that this was how her life would be.

At most, in three to five years, she would die from an unexpected pregnancy or from having offended some important person.

Unexpectedly, a most ordinary banquet for the entertainment of nobles became her lifeblood.

In Sudiya's heart, the eldest princess in front of her is both a noble person who can help her and can also put her to death at any time.

Brothels are places with the most information channels.

A drunk man dares to say anything.

Their disdainful comments also revealed their shameful desire to please their prince consort to love this beautiful princess who had been alone in her boudoir for ten years.

He was just afraid of the eldest princess's reputation, and was afraid that it would get to her ears and cause trouble, so he didn't dare to say much.

Therefore, Sudiya was well aware of the eldest princess's vicious reputation.

What's more, among all the women who were rescued with her in Zhuangzi, she was the only one who was recalled to the Princess's Mansion.

Teach her how not to be afraid?

She wrapped herself tightly because she was afraid that the princess would mistake her for a gift and give her away again.

In that case, it would just be another cycle of fate.

Qin Yaoguang looked at Su Diya for a moment and roughly guessed some of her thoughts.

"Sudiya," she asked slowly, "are you proficient in five or six languages ​​of the Northern Rong tribes?"

The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, with many tribes and different languages ​​in each place.

If she hadn't had the experience of moving among various tribes and had a good talent for languages, she would never have been able to learn it.

Sudiya shuddered in her heart and replied in a low voice: "To answer Your Highness the Princess, I know seven."

She didn't understand why the eldest princess asked this.

She didn't even realize that this was the only wealth left to her from the past that she couldn't bear to look back on.

"Can you hear and speak?"

Qin Yaoguang asked again.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qin Yaoguang nodded with satisfaction and said gently, "Su Diya, I am very optimistic about your language ability and would like to have you join the Honglu Temple as a female official. Are you willing?"

Sudiya looked up suddenly.

A dazzling light suddenly bloomed in those beautiful emerald eyes.

Honglu Temple?

Having traveled around the capital, she certainly knew about the Honglu Temple.

But, being a female official?

Being a lowly person, her greatest wish was to meet a good man who could redeem her.

Even if he is not a good man, as long as he can redeem himself, being bullied and neglected in the rear house is better than having a pair of beautiful arms slept by thousands of people in a brothel.

When she raised her eyes, she saw Qin Yaoguang looking at her with warm eyes.

Sudiya hurriedly lowered her head, realized her gaffe, knelt down hurriedly, and opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Of course Qin Yaoguang wouldn't bother with her about this impoliteness.

She could understand Sudiya's feelings very well.

I can't believe that such a good thing would happen to me.

"Go with Madam Deng and change into a suitable dress," Qin Yaoguang said slowly, "When the officials from the Honglu Temple come, they will examine you again."

"As long as you are telling the truth, you will go to the Honglu Temple for me and serve as a good official."

Qin Yaoguang did not understand the language of the Beirong tribes.

But the Da Jing Dynasty had fought with the Northern Rong for decades, and there were many people in the Honglu Temple who knew how to do it.

For interviews, you have to let people with the right professional background come.

"Yes."

Su Diya finally understood that Qin Yaoguang was not joking.

She had no way to repay him, so she knelt on her knees and kowtowed three times to Qin Yaoguang.

The force was so great that it turned his forehead blue.

If the room wasn't covered with thick Persian carpets, she would have bleed from the force she had used.

"Silly boy."

Qin Yaoguang sighed softly, stood up from his seat, and helped her up personally.

Then he gently brushed Sudiya's forehead with the silk in his hand and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Sudiya was completely dumbfounded.

How could such a noble person as the Princess touch her vile body?

She stood there in a daze, her chest filled with sourness and tears burst out without warning.

Sudiya once thought that she had shed all the tears in her life on the day her entire clan was wiped out.

After that, no matter how miserable she was, she gritted her teeth and endured it silently, refusing to shed a tear that represented weakness.

until today.

She could hardly control her emotions during Qin Yaoguang's gentle questioning.

Does it hurt?

For many years, no one has ever asked her: Does it hurt?

Looking at Su Diya, who was crying but holding her hands tightly to resist crying out loud, Qin Yaoguang handed the silk to her and her voice was like the spring breeze in March.

"Good boy, cry if you want to, and your life will be better from now on."

Just a few words broke Sudiya's heart.

It made her cry bitterly.

Her thin and slender body rose and fell, and her crying moved all the servants standing inside and outside the room.

Even if they didn't know her experience, they could hear it from her crying.

Aunt Deng pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, walked up to her and said, "Come on, come with me to change clothes."

Even if the eldest princess allowed it, Sudiya was overstepping the boundaries by crying like this.

After Su Diya left, Guyu replaced Qin Yaoguang's cup with plum blossom tea, which has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression.

She was worried that her master would be affected by Sudiya's emotions, so she simply brought up another matter.

"Your Highness, I have been watching Hanlu for several days and I think she is a capable person. Nanny Deng also said that she has been trained well enough."

Guyu asked, "Do you think we should let her serve you tomorrow?"

Qin Yaoguang agreed.

After Bai Lu went to Zhufeng Courtyard, most of her personal service tasks fell on Guyu, leaving her without anyone to serve whenever something happened.

Just as they had finished talking about this, Chunfen came to report: "Your Highness, my aunt-in-law has handed in a letter and is already at the side door."

Why is the eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion here for no reason?
