Chapter 4 Southern Smoke

Even if he entered the palace, no one really regarded Zhao Nanyan as the master. She knows all of this. She gave birth to Zihan and gave birth to the first child in the palace, and they just regarded Zihan as the eldest lady, and she Zhao Nanyan was still Zhao Nanyan, that's all.

But on the last night in this palace, Nanyan obviously felt different. The supper made in the kitchenette began to be delivered to her courtyard, and the tea was warm, and no one cared about what she ate or drank until then—the prince never came to her anyway.

The courtyard where Nanyan lived was temporarily vacated two years ago, and before this place was full of calligraphy and paintings discarded by the prince, and only a few people came to clean it when they were free, and no one else set foot on it. Nanyan was able to marry the prince as a concubine because she was pregnant, and during those months, her food had to be carefully checked before she could take it, and the fetal pills she drank were also fried by her personal maidservant herself, and she couldn't sleep almost all night because of sorrow and anxiety - no one knows what kind of psychological torture she experienced in these months. She has today's identity because of this child, once the child is gone, she knows that her fate will go back to the past, no, even the past, she has no face to live in this world anymore.

"Miss Zhao, the prince and the concubine have returned home." Shui Yue stepped into the pavilion and was blessed, "It's getting late, the girl should rest early, the prince has gone to Concubine Shen." ”

"Got it." Nanyan answered, watching Shui Yue quietly leave the hall, for fear of disturbing his appearance, and his heart swelled with infinite emotion.

Before Zhao Nanyan became the master, she and Shui Yue were the best sisters.

She Zhao Nanyan was originally the daughter of a good family, just because she was the illegitimate daughter of the lord of the mansion and others, she would never see the light. Nanyan grew up beside her sisters since she was a child, but she played the role of a maid. The old man knew that he was sorry for Nanyan, so he often sent things to Nanyan in private, and asked his daughters to treat her well. Zhao Nanyan was sold into the Qinglou by his uncle when he was fourteen years old, and when the eldest lady in Zhao's mansion found out that Master Zhao had an affair with another woman, she slapped Nanyan fiercely. Subsequently, she was secretly taken out of the Zhao Mansion by her uncle. Actually, it's good to leave, she thought to herself. She has never liked those sisters who treat herself as the eldest lady and only bully her every day, and she doesn't like to look at the eldest mother's face and do things. Because of her identity, she can't justifiably become the third lady of the Zhao Mansion, she can only be called by others without seeing the day, and she is unwilling in her heart.

The uncle sold Nanyan into the Qinglou for ten taels of silver. Nanyan has a beautiful face, but the old bustard has never treated her badly. But when she was forced to pick up customers on the first night and struggled to resist, the bustard rushed in and slapped her hard. As long as she resists, she will be beaten. Those days were even darker, and Nanyan still remembered that he was still a little afraid. She was very afraid, the bustard asked her to pick up two guests a day, she was unwilling, there was no food, and when she was very hungry, she secretly guarded next to the maidservants, picking up their leftovers to eat, even so, it was a severe beating when she was discovered.

From that moment on, she secretly swore in her heart that she, Zhao Nanyan, would never be a subordinate from now on. She also wants to become a master, a person who does not have to worry about food and clothing, and who is watched by thousands of people.

Later, one day, taking advantage of the gap between the bustard and the other girls going out to enjoy the flowers, she secretly escaped through the small door of the green building. When she was helpless and scarred on the streets of Lin'an for more than ten days, it was Shui Yue who was the first to see her and let the old eunuch in charge lead her back to the palace. From that day on, Nanyan's life changed.

And because of their good looks, Nanyan and Shui Yue have become maids waiting for the prince.

She will never forget that night. The prince returned from the state banquet and was very drunk. That night, it was Shuiyue on an errand, and Nanyan was about to go back to rest, when he happened to see Shuiyue carrying a bowl of sobering tea to the prince's room. If she hadn't observed that Shui Yue was exhausted at this time, how could she have an idea and make a move that would change the rest of her life.

"Sister Shuiyue, looking at this posture, it is estimated that you won't be able to rest tonight, I will be on an errand for you tonight, you can go back and rest."

And Shui Yue has been on a business for most of the day, and she is already exhausted, so she just wants to hurry back to the house and sleep well, and she is overjoyed when she hears Nanyan's words, "Good sister, then I will work hard for you." ”

When Shui Yue trotted all the way back to the house, she was full of joy thinking that she had finally handed over the drudgery of being an errand at night to the hapless Nanyan, but when she remembered it later, she was so angry that her teeth itched.

Early the next morning, under the gaze of everyone, Nanyan walked out of the prince's bedroom.

Everyone knew what had happened that night, but none of them dared to talk about it openly, so they could only quietly point to Nanyan behind their backs and say a word or two.

Chu Luo also secretly appreciated a lot of things from Nanyan later, but the work of the night errand was never handed over to Nanyan.

Nanyan's appearance is naturally superior in the palace, at first the other maids looked at the jewelry and jade ornaments that the prince rewarded her, and coveted it, thinking that this Nanyan was about to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, even Nanyan herself felt so. But month after month, the will of this Jin Feng did not come down, and even the little maids who originally planned to please Nanyan ignored her, and Nanyan became more and more anxious day by day.

When Nanyan found out that she was pregnant, Chu Luo knew that he could no longer stay out of this matter.

After Nanyan became the master, her personal maid was her former good sister Shui Yue. At this time, Shui Yue still hated Nanyan in her heart, if it wasn't for her carelessness that day, she would be sitting in this hall today. Nanyan guessed Shui Yue's thoughts, so she didn't treat Shui Yue badly, she took out her jewelry, gave half of it to Shui Yue, and asked her to take care of all the affairs of this courtyard. And this Shuiyue is also a good and satisfied girl, since she followed Nanyan, she has gained a lot of benefits that she couldn't get before, so she naturally began to be loyal to Nanyan.

When Nanyan was pregnant, the prince also came to see her a few times from time to time. Later, Shen Changan entered the mansion, and the prince and Shen Changan also came to see her many times, and Chang'an also gave her a pure gold longevity lock.

If it is said that Shen Changan's existence poses a threat to Concubine Li Shushen, but here in Zhao Nanyan, it doesn't matter if she Shen Changan is there or not-she is not a woman who pays attention to love, at least not now.
