Shuxi said goodbye to her family and lied that she had returned to the palace. Her mother sent her away with tears in her eyes.

The streets were filled with beautiful flowers and were filled with tourists. However, Shuxi was surrounded by this bustling scene and didn't know where to go. In this life, she was used to living like a prince, always opening her mouth to feed others. With the Zhen Mansion and Yin Su as her backing, she did not need to worry about food and clothing, thus she did not have any ability to support herself. Fortunately, some of the techniques used in modern studies to repair cultural relics may have been of some use. Her top priority was to find a job and solve her board and lodging problem.

"Out of the way!"

"Out of the way!"

A group of elite soldiers appeared on the street. Each of them was dressed in armor, holding spears and spears as they pushed past the passersby, forming a human wall that opened up a street. The outside of the human wall was thrown into chaos. Everyone stood to the left and right. The previously bustling street area quieted down due to the battle. They stood outside the wall in an orderly manner and spoke in hushed tones. After a while, a few carriages arrived not far away. From the way the flags were being raised and their imposing manner, it seemed to be the royal family.

Shuxi was crowded by the crowd and was forced to stand by the side of the street to watch the liveliness. Only the whispers of the people beside her could be heard ?

"It is said that today is the day Imperial Concubine Xin will go to the Matriarch Temple to beg for mercy!"

"No wonder he looks so grand. It's said that this Imperial Concubine Xin's beauty can topple cities and topple nations. He's the current emperor's most beloved concubine!"

"Yeah, these past few years at the harem, she's been very powerful, so everyone has to give her some leeway. The emperor has spoiled her as lawless! "

"Isn't it so? At the beginning of the year, she spent ten thousand taels of silver to build a mansion for the Gu family. There were many discussions in the imperial court, but the emperor had used his own private money to make up for it."

"If she can become pregnant with Long Si, maybe she can take over the harem in place of the Queen in the future!"

"Yeah!" It's just that there's no movement from beginning to end! "

Yin Su's concubine? So he also loved a girl so much that he doted on her. If Imperial Concubine Xin really had a child, how would he feel pain?

When she thought of children, her heart ached intensely, feeling pain for the child that left her before the Liu Chi Palace was even born. He remembered, the pear blossoms all over the ground, Yin Su holding her, feeling her warmth ?

"Ah Xi, in the future, I hope that you can give me a little princess. She has the same appearance as you, with jet-black hair, intelligent eyes, and a lively personality. I will definitely love her while holding her in my palms! "

"Why not a prince?"

"I do not want our children to face the cruel struggle of the royal family in the future. I only wish that your child and I can be happy and live freely! "

How happy she had been back then. However, as she lay in the ice-cold Liu Chi Palace, with her blood dyed red on the bed sheets, with her heart tearing and her lungs splitting, she welcomed that tiny life that had left her body little by little. What she welcomed was a room filled with a clear coldness.

Thinking of these past events, his heart felt as uncomfortable as a knife cutting through it. He no longer had the interest to look at the so called drop dead gorgeous Imperial Concubine Xin.

The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down

The window on top of the sedan was covered by a thin, almost transparent layer of gauze, allowing one to see the Imperial Concubine Xin sitting inside. As expected, she was a beauty, the corner of her lips slightly raised, looking both beautiful and seductive.

Her eyes were also black and shiny. On her shiny forehead was a drop of tear-like blood-red jade. It lightly hung there, resonating with the beautiful accessories on her head and perfectly displaying her enchanting and gentle beauty.

Who wouldn't love such a woman? Everyone was engrossed with the sight, and their eyes widened in shock. Hexi was no exception. In the modern world, had she ever seen a beauty like a celestial fairy before? Thus, he was also lost in thought.

Another carriage passed by. Unexpectedly, a pair of solemn eyes that were like an eagle's gaze and Six-Star's eyes met. When the pair of eyes saw Liu Yue, suddenly, those ice-cold eyes looked at her as if they were sharp blades, as if they were looking at a monster in disbelief.

In a split-second, it was as if a huge hammer had heavily smashed into the deepest part of her heart. The weakest part, was it Yin Su? Did he see her?

She didn't have any extra time to think, so she ran towards the back. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that he, the emperor of the dynasty, would accompany his concubine to the temple. Coincidentally, she was spotted right in the middle of the crowd.

He only heard an anxious and panicked voice from behind, and a sharp shout:

"Stop!"

After that, the horse of the carriage was suddenly violently pulled by the reins and howled towards the sky. The official accompanying the guard immediately alighted the carriage and asked fearfully ?

"Your majesty, what happened?"

Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers kneeled down together, while the commoners also knelt down and shouted in unison.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Shuxi had already gone to hide by the corner, her heart still pounding fiercely. Fortunately, he could no longer see her. She leaned out and looked at the street in the distance. Separated by a distance, she saw him standing on the carriage, dressed in a magnificent robe, his fists clenched tightly, the corners of his lips pursed tightly, just like how he had looked when everyone was kneeling on the ground. The rows and rows of eyes were staring blankly at him, his aura was too cold, the entire street was completely silent, no one dared to breathe, and after a long time, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and he could not see clearly.

He shook his head and gave a self-deprecating smile. With a bitter smile, he turned around and returned to the carriage. Although there were tens of thousands of people surrounding him, his back was so lonely amidst the bustle.

Trembling, the guard quickly pulled the curtain shut. The soldiers also returned to their senses and began to drive the passersby away.

The large group of people left, and the crowd dispersed as well. Only then did Six-Star's heart, which was beating so fiercely, gradually calm down. As if she was dreaming, she actually saw Yin Su. This heart that was riddled with scars from his injuries, after being separated for so many years, the moment it saw him, the pain was still extremely intense. This person was a mischievous existence in her heart. Whether it was love or hate, he was deeply ingrained. Even she herself could not shake him.

However, she was no longer the same Shuxi from before. After living another life, she understood power, money, and emotions. What you want, what you can pay, and what you can bear, are all related to these three things. She would not be so foolish as to sacrifice everything for her feelings.

There was no point in thinking about it. At the moment, the most important thing was to find an inn to settle down and then find a job to support himself. After she came out of Zhen Mansion, her parents had given her some silver and told her to send some servants for her to use. Although it would be enough for her to live for a while, it would definitely not be a long term plan.

When the woman at the inn saw a single woman and said that she wanted to find a job, she immediately introduced her to her husband with great enthusiasm ?

"Miss, I do have a job introduction. See if I can do it."

"As long as it's a proper job, then forget about the fireworks. Look at my age and appearance, I can't do it either." This was the truth. Shuxi was now disguised as a woman with her hair combed, dressed in simple village attire, and had dark yellow skin that appeared after putting on makeup. On the streets, meeting Yin Su scared her. She dressed up like this to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

The inn's auntie sized her up and asked.

"Married?"

"Yes, I did. I passed away due to illness three years ago." She spoke without thinking and her expression was one of dejection.

"He is also a pitiful person. The job I recommended to you is to become a servant of the Feng Mansion. Do you know about this Feng Mansion? The richest man in the capital. Look at the shops on the streets of Tian City? Nine out of ten are from Feng Family. "

Shuxi had indeed noticed that on the street just now, there was a flag hanging above every shop. There was a single word written on the flag: So that's how it was. But what she found strange ?

"Since the Feng Family is so rich, why can't we find a maid? Do you think someone like me can go? "

Inn auntie smiled dubiously

"If you want something like this, then you want something like this."

"Oh? What do you mean? "

"You really haven't heard of it? This head of Feng Mansion, everyone called him Young Master Feng. "

She had only spoken one Young Master Feng before she stopped. With a tone of voice and an indescribable ambiguity in her eyes, she pulled Hexagram closer. She hadn't even said the second sentence when her face turned red and she spoke in a low voice.

"Young Master Feng is the renowned Flower Young Master. Whenever there is a beauty, he does not let go of any of her. He can make a bed for her."

The innkeeper leaned forward, blushing even more.

"According to the girls who had some sort of relationship with him, the Young Master Feng was extremely convenient. These girls, after having followed him once, have no regard for other men, crying and shouting and wanting to go back to his bed. "

"It is said that many girls are unable to get out of bed even on the second day. His martial arts will make you want to die."

The inn auntie acted as if she had experienced it for herself. Her eyes lit up and she almost drooled.

"You know, among these girls, there is a secret message that everyone only wants to follow Young Master Feng. As long as you follow them once, you will be satisfied for the rest of your life."

A black line appeared on Six-Star's head as he asked.

"What does that have to do with me looking for a job?"

The inn's aunt had an expression of "she doesn't know anything"

"Anyone that looks pretty would think about how to climb onto the bed of the Young Master Feng. Who else would do their job properly? Those who went to bed were all secretly jealous. Who would be able to do their job properly? Feng Mansion's butler became anxious. No one has been working in this house for a whole day, so the butler said that if we were to find a servant again, we must find one that looks ugly. "

So it was like this.

"Isn't the butler afraid that Young Master Feng would get tired of beauties? When did his taste change drastically? When did he fall for the ugly girl?"

Inn auntie laughed out loud

"Miss, don't daydream. There are many ugly girls who share the same thoughts as you. Some are from families, and some are from bad families, but they all go to the Feng Mansion to be maids. Let alone going to the Young Master Feng's bed, you can't even see their figures. According to the Young Master Feng, he can only see beautiful things. "

"Miss Liu, if you work properly in Feng Mansion and don't want to go astray, there is no problem in making a living here. Feng Mansion is rich and has always been good to servants. In the future, I will save up some money and find a good family to marry to. "

Since it was like this, Shuxi happily agreed to the inn's auntie.
