Ling Yunche was on duty today and brought Ruyi a piece of heavy news. Ruyi's father Narbu was sent down to control floods. While inspecting the river and repairing water conservancy projects, he stepped on air and fell into an ice cave. Now his body has been salvaged and it has been confirmed that he died in the line of duty.

"I don't believe that my father is gone like this." With tears in her eyes, Ruyi banged her body against the pillar of the cold palace in grief, trying to relieve her suffocating feeling.

Ling Yunche didn't know how to comfort her. He just felt that he deeply understood her pain, and his own mood also fell to the dust.

Ruyi pleaded, "Ling Yunche, Ling Yunche, please help me go home and check if it's true. I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

Ling Yunche had no choice but to switch shifts with other guards and leave the palace to go to Ulanala's mansion to find out the truth.

Wei Yanwan happened to come to the cold palace at this time to return the silver to Ling Yunche. Seeing Ling Yunche's hurried steps, she asked curiously, "Brother Yunche, is there anything urgent?"

Ling Yunche was afraid that Yan Wan would delay his work, so he shouted at her impatiently, "I have an errand and need to leave the palace. Please leave quickly."

Wei Yanwan walked alone on the road back to Xianfu Palace, and the more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. Her mother favored her younger brother, and when she entered Xianfu Palace, she was not only not happy for her, but she even asked for more money.

After her father left, only Ling Yunche from the neighboring house treated her better, and she naturally thought that she should marry Ling Yunche. She worked hard to please her master, but Ling Yunche not only did not make progress, but his attitude was not very good recently.

Yanwan thought about her own way out and felt confused about the future, so she couldn't help but shed tears.

Not far away, a yellow figure walked over.

With tears in her eyes, Yan Wan knelt down hurriedly: "This servant pays respects to the emperor."

Hongli exempted her from the formalities and took the initiative to answer, "I have seen you in Xianfu Palace. Are you with Concubine Yu?"

"Your Majesty has a good memory. I just happened to pass by here and did not mean to disturb Your Majesty." Yan Wan lowered her eyes, afraid that her appearance would offend the emperor.

"What's your name?" Hongli felt a sense of familiarity with the little palace maid in front of him and wanted to say a few more words to her.

"Your Majesty, my name is Wei Yanwan."

"Graceful as the moon, graceful as spring." Hongli thought her name was interesting.

"Your Majesty's poem is so beautiful, but it's a pity that I don't understand it." Wei Yanwan showed an expression of admiration to the emperor at the right time.

Hongli was very pleased: "You look quite smart, have you never read a book?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, although I am a bondservant of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner, my father died early and I don't have any ambitious brothers. Since I was young, I have only learned from my mother to do chores to support the family and never had the opportunity to study." Wei Yanwan said dejectedly.

"You are very sensible. You have known how to support a family since you were young." Hongli praised.

"In reply to the emperor, without a good family background, I can only support my family on my own."

"What a great ambition. The status of a family depends on what the elders have left behind. If you work hard on your own, you can also fight for a good family background." With just a few words, Hongli already admired the little palace maid in front of him.

Ambitious, smart, hardworking, filial, and beautiful!

"Your Majesty, I am a weak woman, and the only thing I can do is to prevent my mother from starving to death. As for competing for family status, I really don't know how." Wei Yanwan asked sincerely. The path pointed out by the Supreme Emperor was right.

"Enjoy yourself tonight, and enjoy the good times." After leaving this poem, Hongli left.

Wei Yanwan took note of it silently and prepared to go back and ask the eldest princess what it meant.

Hailan and Ye Xin had been standing under a roadside tree for a long time. In this life, she saw this scene while strolling in the Imperial Garden.

She listened to their conversation again carefully, and a sneer crept up the corners of her mouth. Ruyi's young man was in love with many men, but she couldn't let her love look so ridiculous, so all the emperor's women took the initiative to seduce the emperor.

Ruyi also lacked a reason for Ling Yunche to stand on the moral high ground and accuse Wei Yanwan, so she found that reason for her.

Looking at Yan Wan, who was only as tall as Hongli's chest at the age of fourteen, Hai Lan thought of the night when Hongli violated her. She was only fifteen years old.

Hailan came out and called out, "Yanwan."

Wei Yanwan turned around, and her expression of doubt turned into joy in an instant: "Master," she skipped to Hailan and held Hailan's arm.

"Why is your body so cold? Let me help you back to the palace. Now you are a pregnant woman, why don't you take care of yourself?" Wei Yanwan turned into a nagging girl, carefully supporting Hai Lan as they walked.

Hai Lan grabbed Yan Wan's hand and put it into her heater cover. "I was just about to go back, and when I saw you talking to the emperor, I waited for you."

"Master, why don't you come out when you see the emperor? All the masters in the palace are looking forward to meeting the emperor by chance." Wei Yanwan felt that her master really didn't care about the emperor. The favor in this palace was the foundation of his status.

"I think the emperor seems to like our little Yanwan. Let's observe what he means." Hai Lan decided to tell Wei Yanwan directly and make preparations early.

Wei Yanwan was shocked and knelt down in front of Hai Lan, "I dare not."

Hailan helped Wei Yanwan up: "He likes you, what dare you not do?"

Hai Lan analyzed carefully: "Enjoy this evening, the first two lines of Yan Wan and Liang Shi are, we are married and in love. He pointed out the way to advancement for you is to become a concubine. But at present, you are still too young, he is just interested in you, not to the point of really wanting to marry you."

Hailan asked: "Yanwan, what do you think?"

Wei Yanwan was very confused, and Hailan's words directly broke her mood. Who wouldn't want to be a concubine and live a life of wealth and glory? But she had a childhood sweetheart, and she instinctively wanted to escape from such a big thing.

Hai Lan did not force Wei Yanwan to express her opinion. She just held her hand and put it into the hand warmer cover, saying, "Our Yanwan is still young. As for marriage, wait a few years until your horizons are broadened and your aesthetics are fixed before deciding. If Yanwan wants to marry the emperor, I will naturally help Yanwan regain his favor. If Yanwan wants to leave the palace and marry someone else, I will ask the queen to grant you a marriage."

"Thank you, my master." After hearing Hai Lan's words, Wei Yanwan felt half relieved, and her future path had a new direction.

Ever since she last met Hongli in the Imperial Garden, Yanwan has been avoiding Hongli. Before she thinks things through, she doesn't dare to show her face in front of Hongli.

It was just that Concubine Hui was favored by the Emperor, so the Emperor came to Xianfu Palace more often. Therefore, there appeared in Xianfu Palace the scene of the master and servant walking around the Emperor together.

At first, Yan Wan saw Hai Lan's indifferent attitude towards Hong Li and thought that her mistress was a lonely person. But when she saw her mistress acting like the little daughter of the Empress, the chatterbox of the Imperial Concubine, and the lively and enthusiastic Concubine Chun, Yan Wan didn't understand.

Now when she saw the emperor, she felt so confused that she couldn't laugh.
