This is really embarrassing.

Shangguan Zimeng tried hard to maintain a fake smile on her face. Fortunately, she had learned it in modern times. Everyone can provide service with a smile.

Yan Kaiyu tilted his head and looked at her with interest. Without saying anything, he said, "One thousand taels of silver."

Nani?

Shangguan Zimeng shook her head after hearing this. It seemed like it was time to show off her acting skills again. She squeezed out a few tears pitifully, and said in a sobbing voice: "I am a weak woman. Even if you sell me, you won't get that much money."

When Yan Kaiyu saw her so charming and lovely, he felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart.

I felt dry mouth and tongue for a moment, so I swallowed, picked up the teacup, and prepared to take a sip to relieve the irritation, but found that there was no more.

"Then work in my house and pay back the one thousand taels of silver."

Shangguan Zimeng knew that the wages of maids in ancient mansions were very low, and she cried again, "How long will it take me to pay off this debt?"

"This king doesn't care."

"Then what do you want me to do in your house?"

Yan Kaiyu pretended to be thoughtful and embarrassed. He called the housekeeper over and winked at him, saying, "This girl will work in the mansion in the future. Is there any vacant job for her in the mansion?"

The butler saw the look in his own prince's eyes and understood what he meant.

Besides, he had also heard about what happened last night. Based on his understanding of his own prince, he must have fallen in love with the girl, but due to the prince's status, he did not make it clear.

Then let me, an old man, lend you a helping hand. After all, being able to become the steward of Prince Yan's Mansion requires some ability.

"Reporting to the prince, no more."

"Is it really gone?"

Butler Liu pretended to think for a moment and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, I am getting old and confused. Now I remember that there are indeed no vacancies in other places, but your courtyard is the only one that is missing a bed-warming maid."

Yan Kaiyu was shocked: This old man is really bold, I just want her to serve me, but I don’t want her to be a bed warmer.

"That's it."

"Indeed."

Butler Liu was very proud in his heart, and said, "Your Highness, I can only help you up to this point. The rest depends on your luck."

Yan Kaiyu looked up at her and frowned, worried that she would disagree.

Shangguan Zimeng lowered her head and frowned, worried that he would not agree.

Being a bed warmer maid sounds very exciting. Besides, I can see a handsome guy every day and sleep in his bed. It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Yan Kaiyu, please agree quickly. I advise you not to be ungrateful.

"I'm just afraid she won't agree."

Hearing Yan Kaiyu say this, Shangguan Zimeng immediately became anxious, fearing that he would refuse her to be his bed warmer: "I agree! I agree a million times!"

Yan Kaiyu: I'm just being polite. There really are such good things in this world.

Butler Liu: This girl looks smart and clever. If something happens between her and the prince at night and she gives birth to a child, she will enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, his old face turned red and he smiled secretly with his lips pursed.

Yan Kaiyu really didn't expect her to be so direct, so the matter was settled reluctantly.

Seeing that Butler Liu was still laughing, he thought of a way to send him away and ordered: "Go to the street yourself and buy her some material for making clothes."

"Yes, my lord, I will take my leave."

As Butler Liu went out, he sighed in his heart that it seemed that the prince really liked this girl. In fact, there were materials for making clothes in the mansion, but they were a bit old and the styles were not very new.

It seems that I have to look all over the city for new styles of silk today to ensure that the prince will be satisfied.

Inside the house, a servant came to report that someone from the palace had arrived and was waiting in the main hall. Please come over immediately, Your Highness.

"understood."

He looked at Shangguan Zimeng with pity, who still had traces of tears on her face, and felt as if she had magical powers, and wiped them away for her uncontrollably.

Both of them blushed.

Yan Kaiyu just said: "It's not proper to cry so much. I'm afraid that you will be seen by outsiders and lose the face of my palace."

Then he left angrily and went to the main hall.

"Where are the outsiders?"

Shangguan Zimeng muttered softly, touching her hot face. He just touched her and she was so happy.

At this time, a group of maids came in with various dishes and placed them on the table.

One of the leading maids said respectfully, "The prince has instructed that if he sees you come back, he will immediately order the kitchen to prepare a meal. Please enjoy your meal."

"thank you."

After simply expressing her thanks, Shangguan Zimeng couldn't hold back when seeing so many delicious foods. She had actually been hungry for a long time.

So, she began to frantically grab the food on the table without caring about her image. It was truly a delicacy. It was so delicious.

When the maids saw her eating like that, they all covered their mouths and laughed. They were not mocking her, but they thought her eating style was quite interesting.

When they saw her eating like this, they also felt a little hungry.

After a frantic meal, my stomach was finally satisfied.

The maids also happily left the room with the remaining leftovers.

Shangguan Zimeng was so full from eating that she walked back and forth in the room, thinking.

Does he like me already?

Otherwise, why would he give me such a precious jade pendant?

Oh, by the way, I just didn't have time to apologize to him for the jade pendant. Forget it, I'll talk to him after he comes back.

I've been busy all night and I'm so sleepy.

I sat in the chair and rested for a while, and fell asleep without realizing it.

Not long after, the door was pushed open and Yan Kaiyu came in. Seeing that she was already asleep, with soft snoring, she looked very sweet and adorable.

"I just went out for a while and you fell asleep directly. It seems that you were really exhausted last night."

When I held her in my arms, she felt so light and soft.

He gently put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He looked at her lingeringly one more time, then stopped disturbing her and quietly left.

……

After sleeping for about two hours, Shangguan Zimeng opened her hazy eyes, stretched lazily, and felt that this sleep was very comfortable.

"woke up?"

Shangguan Zimeng looked back and when he woke up, he was no longer wearing white clothes, but a black dragon robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, a green brocade belt around his waist, and a priceless jade pendant.

Although there was a hint of coldness between his brows, in Shangguan Zimeng's eyes, it was hot.

Seeing him dressed so luxuriously, Shangguan Zimeng asked in confusion, "Are you going out?"

"Bring her clothes."

"Clothes? What clothes?"

A servant brought the clothes that had been prepared long ago, holding them in both hands and presented them to her.

"Put on."

"why?"

"Enter the palace."

"What!? Entering the palace? I won't go."

When Shangguan Zimeng heard the words "enter the palace", she instantly woke up.

Why did he suddenly enter the palace?

Yan Kaiyu ignored her, grabbed her hand and pulled her up: "If you don't want to change, I don't mind changing it for you."

"I'll change."

Yan Kaiyu smiled with satisfaction, let go of her and walked outside, and ordered: "Help her change her clothes."

"Yes."

There were two maids beside them, one holding clothes on a plate, and the other holding jewelry on a plate.

He stepped forward and bowed, "Princess, please change your clothes."

"Princess? You are mistaken. I am not."

Although I really want to be.

The two maids looked young, perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old at most, and they looked at Shangguan Zimeng with some embarrassment.

"I'll change. Come on, help me put it on."

A moment later, accompanied by the envious eyes of the two maids, Shangguan Zimeng walked to the bronze mirror.

A pure, graceful, elegant and refined beauty appeared in the bronze mirror.

"It is indeed stunningly beautiful."

Yan Kaiyu came in at some point.

"I've met the prince."

"You guys go down first."

"Yes."

Seeing that they had all left, Shangguan Zimeng asked, "Why did you suddenly come to the palace? Did something happen?"

She thought of the plot in the TV series, where a high-ranking minister was suspected by the emperor and summoned to the palace, where he was either thrown into prison or hacked to death...

Ah, I dare not think further.

What if Yan Kaiyu was hacked to death, wouldn't she become a widow? It didn't seem right either, since they hadn't even married yet, and they weren't actually husband and wife.

But just now those two maids called me princess.

"It's nothing serious. The Xiyue Kingdom's envoys will arrive in Beijing in three days. The emperor summoned me for this matter. Also, I haven't seen my mother for many days, so I came to the palace to pay my respects."

"That's it, it'll be fine."

"Do you hope that something happens to this king?"

"How could that be? I wish you were alive and kicking every day."

Yan Kaiyu frowned, obviously not understanding what "jumping around" meant.

"When do we leave?"

"We can set off now."
