In Yunqing Garden, Su Xiaoman quickly raised her hand and pinched her ear, saying with a wronged look on her face: "Don't hit me, don't hit me."

Chen Yun said angrily, "I asked you to record in the court, but you muttered and shouted the next. What do you want to do?"

Su Xiaoman pouted and said with tears in her eyes: "I didn't murmur, and I didn't do it on purpose. I was really scared!"

"Shocked? I think you've been comfortable for too long, and you don't know what it means to be trembling with fear and treading on thin ice!"

To Chen Yun, Su Xiaoman had been cautious and restrained at all times during the year she had been in his house. No matter what happened, she was able to remain calm and was not the kind of person who would be frightened.

Su Xiaoman felt aggrieved, so she asked, "You won't be scared?"

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at her and said, "Of course."

Su Xiaoman continued: "That's it, you are a grown man and you are scared, so why can't I be scared?"

Chen Yun raised his foot and slowly approached her, saying, "I am truly frightened by you. You can disappear from my sight out of thin air, and return to the courtyard without anyone noticing. It's really scary."

Su Xiaoman was stunned. What was going on? Was the NPC's brain too useful?

She took two steps back, blinked her eyes, and pretended to be innocent: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I am just a little girl. You have seen it all. I am scared by a memorial. How can I be so powerful? Otherwise, don't bring me into the palace in the future, and don't let me record it, so that I won't make you angry again."

Haha, you really gave her face?

You still dare to negotiate with me?

Good, excellent!

I will definitely punish you severely this time!

Are you timid? Then practice!

Chen Yun: "Your performance this morning was so wonderful. You really don't need to come to the palace anymore. I will bring back the records when I return from court, and you can read them to me."

Su Xiaoman: ???

[Brother, I am just a woman, why do you always treat me as an employee? ]

Chen Yun continued, "Also, in order to train your courage, from today on, you will come to my room at night and keep watch for me."

Su Xiaoman:!!!

"No, my Lord, I am a concubine, not a slave, why should I keep watch all night?"

Chen Yun bent down slightly, put his face in front of Su Xiaoman, smiled frivolously, and whispered: "Yes, you are a concubine, and it is normal for you to spend the night in my room. But who can know whether you are sleeping on the bed or kneeling outside the screen?"

"No, no, no." Su Xiaoman said flatteringly: "I know I was wrong, I will definitely change in the future, let me go back to my room."

Chen Yun smiled faintly and said, "If you keep making noise, I will fine you three months' salary."

When Su Xiaoman heard about the fine, he immediately shut up.

[Okay, okay, you better not sleep too deeply. ]

Chen Yun shook his sleeves, pushed the door open and walked out, saying to the maid in the courtyard: "Help the concubine change her official uniform. Without my permission, the concubine is not allowed to leave my courtyard."

"Bah!" Su Xiaoman muttered in a low voice with her hands on her hips.

Xun Kang had a look of shock again: [What's going on? Is she going to be favored exclusively? I've offended the concubine before, so I have to behave well in the future to make her happy! ]

*

Chen Yun finished his work in the study. When he looked up, it was already dark, so he got up and prepared to go back to his room.

When Xun Kang saw it, he immediately sent someone to inform Su Xiaoman.

When Qiao'er reported to Su Xiaoman, she was leaning on the chaise longue in Chen Yun's room eating lychees.

[Tsk tsk tsk, coming to Chen Yun's room is not a bad thing. I have never seen these kinds of fruit snacks in my own room.]

When Su Xiaoman heard that Chen Yun was coming back, in order to show that she was obedient and to get a chance to go back to sleep, she hurriedly got up, straightened her clothes, held the plate of lychees that Qiao'er had peeled, and stood at the door to greet Chen Yun.

After seeing Chen Yun, she bowed respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Then he handed over the plate of lychees and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Please eat."

Chen Yun frowned slightly, not hearing anything she said. She looked well behaved, so there shouldn't be any problem.

As soon as he took the plate of lychees, Su Xiaoman pulled his arm and asked him to sit on the warm seat. She knelt down at his feet and took off his shoes for him, saying:

"Your Highness, you have been tired all day. Let me help you take off your shoes and rest your feet."

At this time, Gu Jinxiu's tender voice came from outside the door: "Cousin, cousin, I just heard that you were back when I arrived at the study. I made soup for you~"

Chen Yun opened his mouth and was about to reply to her.

But Su Xiaoman didn't want Gu Jinxiu to know that she was in this room. She was just here to play the game, but she didn't want to get involved in the house fight.

In the original setting, Gu Jinxiu was the Princess of Jing. She had no money, no friends, and no power. Cui Lan was enough for her to bear. Now, if she had offended both Gu Jinxiu and the Grand Empress Dowager, how difficult would her life in this palace be!

She immediately got up and covered Chen Yun's mouth.

He lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk. My life is hard enough. Don't let her know I'm here. I don't want her to have nothing to do and come to deal with me every day."

Chen Yun threw her arm away, turned his head to stare at her, and said word by word: "You! You actually used the hand that just grabbed your shoes and socks to cover my mouth!!"

After saying this, he seemed to be still unsatisfied, and made two "Pooh" sounds on the spot, then wiped his mouth vigorously with his hand.

I’m dying. My chance to go back to my room and sleep is gone again.

"Cousin, are you in the room?" Gu Jinxiu's voice was getting closer.

Chen Yuncai didn't bother to care about Su Xiaoman. He put on his boots, shook his sleeves and walked straight to the door.

[Where are you hiding? Where are you hiding? Where are you hiding? ]

Su Xiaoman muttered to herself as she looked around, then quickly walked to the closet and opened the door.

Cuilan?!

Yes, Cuilan is hiding in the closet.

For the first time in her life, she saw Cuilan grinning at her and whispered, "What a coincidence, have you eaten?"

Eat your head!

Su Xiaoman didn't have time to think about it, and got in sideways: "Move to the side, leave some room for me."

The two of them spent a long time adjusting their posture in the not-so-spacious closet before they were able to sit steadily.

Chen Yun only heard the sound of the closet and someone muttering behind him, and didn't know Cuilan was also in there. He snorted and laughed, then opened the door.

Gu Jinxiu stood in front of the door with a food basket on her shoulder, pouting and said, "Cousin, what are you doing in the house?" Then she was about to go into the house.

Chen Yun held the door with one hand, not wanting to move away. He just said coldly, "You are an unmarried woman, how can you come into my room so casually at this late hour?"

Cuilan had been sitting in the closet for the entire afternoon and was feeling cramped. Her legs were numb and she kept twisting her body.
