Chapter 001 Let's go together

  "Really?" Xue Lengyu exclaimed with a delighted smile: "Xiao Feng has a boyfriend now?"

  "Boyfriend?" Xiaofeng retorted: "What's a boyfriend?"

  "Hehe." Xue Lengyu covered up and said, "It's just a male friend with a special relationship, like a fiancé or a childhood cousin."

  "I don't have it." Xiaofeng's face suddenly turned red.

  "It's normal if you have one." Xue Lengyu said with a smile: "A big and beautiful girl like you, it's normal to have someone."

  "You're dead." Xiaofeng was furious and made a gesture to hit: "Leng Yu, why are you talking nonsense."

  "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more." The girls of this generation have thin skin, and Xue Lengyu didn't dare to joke around like she used to with her classmates. Seeing Xiao Feng's face turn bright red, she quickly became serious: "What is this embroidery? Mandarin ducks? It looks really good."

  Xiao Feng said: "Ah, mandarin ducks playing in water."

  The maid beside Xiaofeng chimed in, "Xiaofeng's hands are really skilled. The embroidery she does can be sold for a high price to Su Danni outside the second gate."

  It turned out to be a part-time job. Xue Lengyu understood and smiled: "Xiao Feng, you're really amazing. You look beautiful and your hands are skilled. I don't know which young man is so lucky to find you as his wife. That's something to laugh about even in dreams."

  Xiao Feng said: "Leng Yu you're really something, never a serious word, hateful to death."

  Xue Lengyu couldn't help but laugh as she arrived in ancient times, and it was only at this moment that she truly smiled with joy. Without worries, without having to carefully consider every word, nor needing to hide anything. Just like Xiaofeng, such a little girl, her face would flush red with just one glance, how adorable.

  After lunch, Leng Yu had quickly become familiar with several maids and young servants in the courtyard, chatting idly and basically understanding the dynasty she was in.

  This is a country that has been shrouded in mystery throughout history, the Mo Kingdom. The royal family of the Mo Kingdom bears the surname Li, and the master he serves now is none other than the kingdom's second prince, one of the top contenders for the throne, Prince Mu.

  The world we are in now is basically peaceful, although it's inevitable that countries will have a wary eye on each other. However, due to various reasons, they restrain each other, so no country dares to initiate war first. The surrounding countries are also diverse, with the exotic Shu Wu, the matriarchal Luo Yu, and the Murong Dynasty where both men and women can be called kings. Large and small, it's like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, chaotic and disorderly.

  Xue Lengyu pretended to be naive and ignorant, not knowing anything, which greatly satisfied the self-esteem of the young maids and servants in the courtyard. She listened until she couldn't remember some things, then glanced around and quietly changed the subject.

  It's enough to know roughly, Xue Lengyu thought that he didn't plan to participate in politics and didn't want to unify the world, so it wasn't necessary to know these things so clearly.

  After lunch, Xue Lengyu took a nap and woke up feeling refreshed. She didn't know what time it was, but as she lay in bed, her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of how to make money grow after leaving the Wang Manor. The door was lightly knocked on.

  Xue Lengyu suddenly sat up in bed and asked, "Who?"

  "It's me." Xiao Feng said at the door.

  "Oh, Xiao Feng, wait a minute." Xue Lengyu felt relieved in his heart, put on his outerwear, tied the belt while opening the door.

  "You're still sleeping." Xiaofeng's face was filled with admiration as she looked at Xue Lengyuan, who had just woken up.

  "What's wrong?" Xue Lengyu adjusted her clothes and picked up her shoes, she now completely regarded Xiaofeng as one of her own. Unlike the girls in the Wangfei courtyard, who seemed kind but had unknown intentions hidden in their hearts. And this Xiaofeng, was probably because of her simplicity and lack of schemes, that's why she stayed in Fengyuan.

  "The king has returned." said Xiaofeng.

  "Really?" Xue Lengyu's heart skipped a beat: "The king has returned, won't he be looking for me?"

  "King Yan has also arrived." said Xiao Feng.

  "Yan Wang Ye?" Xue Lengyu was taken aback: "What kind of person is this? Why are they called by this name? Are they a fierce and intimidating person?"

  "It's not King Yan of Hell, but rather Flame of Fire." Xiao Feng said: "King Flame is our king's older brother."

  "Oh." Xue Lengyu suddenly realized, so it was Li Mu's older brother, that should be called Li Yan. The name wasn't bad either, but adding the two words "Wang Ye" behind it made it sound strange. After a moment's thought, she said, "That doesn't make sense, even if that Wang Ye Yan came, what does it have to do with us? You're calling me, aren't you supposed to be telling us to go and serve him?"

  "It's not us, it's you." said Xiaofeng.

  "What?!" Xue Lengyu was shocked in her heart: "I don't even know that Inflaming King."

  "You didn't say you knew him." Xiaofeng said: "It's said that King Yan brought back two beautiful women, as beautiful as celestial beings, on his southern tour this time, and they were specially sent to thank the king. The king prepared a banquet in the evening to entertain King Yan and express gratitude. Both the queen and Consort Die will attend, and you are now the king's personal maid, so Shuli Daren said that you should also serve by the king's side."

  Xue Lengyu's heart was bitter, like having eaten rhubarb: "Xiao Feng, has something like this happened before?"

  "What kind of thing?" Little Frost asked innocently, not understanding.

  Xue Lengyu said: "It's... it's the king treating his friends and letting us serve them."

  Xiao Feng thought for a moment: "It seems not, but although Maple Garden has maids, the ones who serve the prince are all young men. However, Leng Yu, you're different, you were sent by the princess, so naturally the prince will look at you differently."

  Xue Lengyu sighed, not knowing whether Xiaofeng was comforting herself or if she was really that simple. She didn't want to think about why Li Mu had invited his brother to dinner - was it because his brother had sent him a woman, or was it the two countries' most beautiful women? With such a meal, and with Wangfei and Diefei joining in, could they really create a warm and harmonious atmosphere?

  "Don't sigh, go quickly." Xiaofeng looked up and down at Xue Lengyu, making sure she was dressed properly, before pushing her out: "The king is currently in the hall talking to King Yan, you should go wait in the dining hall first."

  "Xiao Feng." Xue Lengyu thought for a moment, without much hope, and said in a pleading tone: "Can you come with me? I'm scared to go alone."

  "Me?" Xiaofeng pushed Xue Lengyu out while laughing: "Has the king not let me serve you, do you think anyone can attend this banquet? My good girl, just go quickly, what's there to be afraid of? With so many people, can the king still eat you? When you come back, I'll massage your legs and waist for you, okay?"

  Hehe, thank you everyone. Bookmarks and recommendations have both reached 100 again. I've been quite busy these past few days, but the two chapters of 3,000 words that I promised will be made up during New Year's.
