When Chaxianyu returned to the palace, her servant, Little Man, was dozing off in front of the window sill. When she saw her master out of the corner of her eye, she was overjoyed. Princess! You're finally back!

I ran into Chaxianyu's arms and cried. I thought you were going to die! What if the emperor finds out … Wuu wuu, wuu. Even if a small one had ten heads, it wouldn't be enough to cut them off!

Chaxianyu patted the little man's back to show her relief as she quickly undressed, sweeping her hands through her long hair that had finally been freed after a day of work, and walked towards the bed. Didn't you say that I was only investigating the escape route today?

Are you leaving the palace tomorrow?

Yes.

Ah?! Little Man was so frightened that he knelt down at Chaxianyu's feet and shook her wrist. Princess! You said that you would leave the palace as soon as possible if you found out … Are you sure you don't want to be full? As she spoke, two streams of tears flowed down her face.

Chaxianyu sighed and helped her up.

Chaxianyu looked into Little Man's eyes and spoke calmly. 'My mother passed away from illness, and I have been following you for fifteen years as a direct descendant of an unfavoured princess. I have made you suffer. Life in the palace is like walking on thin ice. Because of me, in this vast Profound Diao Hall, only you, a servant girl, can manage it with great effort. Even though I'm an expensive princess, royal father hasn't even seen you once …

Chaxianyu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and seemed to have made up her mind.

Over the years, there have been many questions lingering in my mind, and leaving the palace was my deliberate decision. I don't want to be a cripple who's been kept in the dark all his life.

Little Man was astonished. Princess...

I regard you as a sibling, so you don't have to worry about me. You're the same age as me, so it's time for you to plan for yourself. After I leave, Steward Feng will transfer you to Fifth Princess Li Suren's mansion to continue serving.

Chaxianyu smiled and pretended to be relaxed. If fate wills it, we would definitely meet again in the future.

Chaxianyu lightly stroked the girl's back. Suddenly, the little man lifted up his face as he choked with sobs and said, "Oh right, Princess, I just remembered that today, the administrator of the Fortune Supervisor Academy sent a hundred thousand gold …"

"What?!" Show it to me! Chaxianyu slapped her thigh and her eyes lit up, scaring herself out of her wits. Yes! Little Man, go get it right away!

Looking at the table covered in gold, Chaxianyu laughed so hard that her mouth was crooked. Ha ha-ha ha-ha ha, God help me! "I was thinking of a way to deal with that goblin.

Little Man's Weak Probe, Princess... Who are you calling a goblin?

Chaxianyu Haili tightened her grip on the bag of gold. She was an evil spirit who had strange golden eyes that even changed color when she shamelessly snatched away this princess' medallion! Chaxianyu changed the topic of conversation and asked the young man if he knew the man's identity.

Little Man tried hard to recall, and mumbled, "Princess …" Could it be that you are referring to the pavilion master of the Persephone Pavilion, Lady Xu Hong, when you said that she had golden eyes?

Susu Pavilion? Xu Hong?

It was said that this person was extremely handsome, with golden eyes that were extremely rare in the world. He was tall, had a clever brain, was a good businessman, and could be considered a wealthy person in the capital, Qin Chuan. However, he still wasn't sure if he had any relationship with the Xu family of the Four Major Clans …

He is Soul Power User? Chaxianyu only wanted to hear the part she cared about the most.

Little Man frowned as he thought back carefully. He had never heard of such a thing … However, with Young Master Hong's ability, he was already considered a top genius among ordinary people! It was understandable that he didn't have soul power …

Chaxianyu rolled her eyes. "Little Man, I didn't ask you to speak up for him."

But … But someone like Young Master Hong, when the little one heard about him, she felt as if he was a supreme deity! This was especially true of the Susu Pavilion, which was under his control. There were many rumors among the people that it would be even harder to listen to the Pavilion Master play a song than to ascend to the heavens!

Chaxianyuchie made a sound and slapped Little Man's back. Don't be so silly, Little Man! You can forget about finding anyone else until this princess has found the man I love!

The little one was speechless. She begged for mercy pitifully, as if she was a princess …

The next morning

In the capital city, Qin Chuan's most famous Zither Hall, the Fu Su Pavilion, the entrance to the grand entrance was kicked open by a rude and unreasonable young lady.

Xu Hong! Hurry up and come out!

The manservant hurriedly ran up and coaxed, "Lady, please calm down. Our Pavilion Master went out early in the morning to gather some medicine and hasn't returned yet. Why don't you go to the room this humble one prepared and wait?"

Chaxianyu snorted coldly. It seems that the rich side has quite a lot of side businesses!

Throwing the bag full of gold onto the table, Chaxianyu said calmly, Collect the money and quickly arrange for me to stay in his room. No one is allowed to disturb me.

When the attendant saw her, he hurriedly gave a meaningful glance to the bystanders. The leader of the group quickly bowed and invited Chaxianyu upstairs.

As soon as Chaxianyu entered the room, she quickly went to open the window and thought about the escape route from the window after getting the token. At this moment, the door creaked and Shier Hong, wearing a light green robe and bundled up his hair, walked in with a bamboo basket and a smile on his face. Don't open the window, you won't be able to escape.

Chaxianyu was shocked. She turned around and saw Shier Hong staring at her with interest.

What she wanted to do was to be seen through mercilessly. Chaxianyu felt indignant and her expression instantly disappeared without a trace. "Are you that confident?"

Shier Hong pulled out a chair from across from Chaxianyu and leisurely sat down. Since I'm here, I'll go straight to the point — — Today, Emperor Xun's only daughter, the Sixth Princess, Prince Xing Ning.

I dare to ask, why did Princess do this?

Chaxianyu was shocked. She reacted with embarrassment and anger as she rushed up to Shier Hong and grabbed his sleeve. "You're actually sneaking a peek at my token?!"

Shier Hong smiled happily. His cool and light fingers touched the back of Chaxianyu's hand. The bottom of his golden eyes were blue jade-like shadows. If I don't peek, how could I threaten the princess today?

Chaxianyu was shocked. You want to threaten me?!

Shier Hong chuckled as he rubbed the back of Chaxianyu's hand, which she wanted to pull back, word for word. I can help you hide your real identity, not reporting what you saw and heard yesterday, and not investigating your escape from the palace.

As for how you came to our chamber yesterday, the people told me that Princess had never practiced martial arts, but in fact … He gave Chaxianyu a meaningful look.

Martial arts were in the body, and Qing Gong was especially strong.

Chaxianyu pursed her lips stubbornly and glared at Shier Hong.

I can pretend that I know nothing of the above, but I can also provide you with many benefits. For example, my carriage, my connections, my nobility, my shops in the prehistoric era, even the number one music pavilion in the world …

So, you want my Purple Blossom Medallion?

Chaxianyu interrupted him without a trace of politeness. She crossed her arms and spoke in a mocking tone.

Heh.

Chaxianyu noticed that his eyes had turned completely green.

Although the Purple Redbud Jade Token manual was extremely precious, and there were less than 12 of them in the world, as long as one showed their tokens and did not ask for the reason, one could freely travel to any place. However, my goal is not a token.

Shier Hong suddenly lowered his head and traced the shape of Chaxianyu's lips with his finger. His tone was pitying, "What I want is you, Princess."

Chaxianyu was stunned. She quickly broke free from the man's grasp and retreated a meter away from him. Don't use such flowery words on me! Speak! Are you still not going to return the token to me!

Shier Hong smiled. As long as Princess agrees to me, from today onwards, she will be my personal servant. If it wasn't something important, I would promise Princess that I would not only offer her all the benefits, but also keep Princess's identity a secret.

Chaxianyu was a little confused. That command medallion …

I am not interested in Princess's token at all, so I will return it in kind.

Chaxianyu pondered as she began to speculate … Although he didn't understand the strange man's intentions, he had nowhere to go even if he managed to retrieve the token. Moreover, he didn't have much gold left, so he would have to find a place to fill his stomach in the future … There was food, sleep, and support. It was fine to just work here.

Chaxianyu recalled that she often tidied up the Profound Engraved Hall with Little Man and did everything by herself. This position of a caring servant …

I promise! Chaxianyu blurted out.

Very good. Shier Hong nodded, he was not surprised, from now on, you are my new servant girl.

Shier Hong? Wasn't it Xu Hong? Chaxianyu was curious.

Just as Princess called herself "Xingning" while she called herself "Chaxianyu", I also prefer my real name.

You! You even know the name my mother gave me?! Chaxianyu gasped and collapsed on the bed.

Shier Hong winked at her, being polite to her. What should I call Princess in the future?

"Hmm …" You call it envy …? Chaxianyu wrung her fingers and thought hard for a moment before she weakly suggested.

All right, let's call it Yu Er. Good name. Shier Hong smiled approvingly at Chaxianyu, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

After that — —

Yu Er, watering the flowers.

Yu Er, make some tea.

Yu Er, prepare the ink.

Yu Er, the top student.

Yu Er, this young master is tired, dance to help this young master enjoy.

"..."

In less than a day's time, it was almost sunset. Chaxianyu was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. She was angry, but she didn't dare to say anything. She lowered her head and obediently followed Shier Hong's orders. She ran up and down the hall, but her master's demands were getting more and more outrageous …

Chaxianyu rubbed her plate angrily as she screamed in her heart, "What audacity!" She actually called the princess back and forth! He had gone against the heavens! Chaxianyu, ah, Chaxianyu, it's fine if you don't end up being pampered in the palace, but even people outside the palace have to bully you …

Yu Er?

Chaxianyu was still trying her best to vent her feelings when she was shocked by Shier Hong, who had appeared silently.

She quickly turned around, trying to force a smile on her face as she put on an act to curry favor with him. Young Master, do you have any instructions for me?

Shier Hong didn't say anything. He quietly looked down at Chaxianyu and slowly raised his hand, touching the girl's cheek without any warning.

The delicate skin of the girl flowed between her fingers like a thin layer of gauze.

Excited, Chaxianyu stammered to stop them. Ah, young master, young master, Yu Erwan has not finished washing yet …

Was he wronged?

Eh?

Shier Hong held Chaxianyu's face and looked deeply into the girl's dark eyes. He was going to be my servant girl and act like a princess.

Chaxianyu's reaction was fast as she quickly laughed dryly. She did not feel wronged at all! Anyway, when I leave the palace, I have to do my best to support myself. Speaking of which, I have to thank the young master for taking me in!

Shier Hong pursed his lips, as if trying to figure out the credibility of his words.

Chaxianyu felt uncomfortable being stared at. She smiled coyly, while Yu Er … Did Yu Er have something on her face?

Hearing this, Shier Hong's tone of voice returned to its usual teasing tone. Did you hit your nose when you jumped in the window yesterday? I went to pick the yam. He lifted his chin towards a bamboo basket at Chaxianyu's feet. He then grinded the six plants in the cupboard and applied them before going to bed. Tomorrow would be fine.

Chaxianyu was stunned, so you went to pick the herbs...

And the forehead. Shier Hong lifted his hand to lift the hair on Chaxianyu's forehead. He stared at it attentively. There was a abrasion on her forehead. Don't forget to apply it as well.

"..." Chaxianyu bit her lower lip, not knowing what to do. "Thank you, Young Master Xie, for your concern …"

Shier Hong stood up and was about to leave when Chaxianyu grabbed his clothes.

Young master! Chaxianyu lowered her head with a troubled look on her face. Shier Hong was puzzled.

Young master, you didn't keep your promise, so you agreed to return my token.

Shier Hong suddenly came to his senses. He took out a jade bag from his front pocket and waved it in front of Chaxianyu.

This?

Before Chaxianyu was overjoyed, she quickly put the jade bag back into the secret pocket on her clothes. She said calmly, "I'll give it to you when I need it."

You're not keeping your promise! Chaxianyu stomped her feet angrily. She was about to say something, but her eyes turned red before she could do anything.

Silly Yu Er. Shier Hong shook his head. He held Chaxianyu's hand and followed his lead, moving all the way until he finally touched the cloth at his chest.

Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Therefore, you only need to do one thing, and that is to control me.

Shier Hong suddenly tightened his grip on Chaxianyu's hand, causing her to wince in pain.

As long as it's what you want, I can get it for you. So, please give it your all. For some reason, Chaxianyu felt that the current Shier Hong was extremely dangerous. She tried her best to retreat, but the man's hand remained as motionless as a boulder.

— With all your strength, let me belong to you only.

Chaxianyu only felt that the hand that Shier Hong was grabbing at this moment was covered densely in sweat, it was cold and sticky, and under the fabric that she touched, her warm chest was like a small beast that was hibernating, it was burning hot, fresh and short, like a flame that was burning in the surroundings, and it was about to burn her hand.

Chaxianyu came back to her senses and struggled to push Shier Hong away. In a panic, she took the herbs into her embrace. "I, I'll make the medicine!" He quickly escaped.

Shier Hong stood there for a long time looking at the direction Chaxianyu disappeared in.

After which, he lowered his head in silence and sized up the hand that had grabbed the girl's delicate hand. The corner of his mouth pulled out a trace of ridicule …

Too impatient … "Is that so?"
