The Xiang family has always been an aristocrat in the Fan Kingdom, and there have been three queens and two generals in their ancestors. Xiang Shaoya is the mainstay of the Xiang family of this generation, hereditary to the position of Bo Yihou, and he has been appointed as a general before he turned 30. He married Fan Jun's eldest daughter, Princess Yanyuan, and the husband and wife respected each other like a guest. They had two sons and a daughter. Five years ago, Princess Yanyuan passed away due to illness, and Xiang Shaoya has never married again.

On weekdays, he likes to live in a tent, sleeps and eats with soldiers, and doesn't often go back to the house. Now Xiang Shaoya's mansion lives with his mother and his concubine Mrs Zhang, Mrs Zhang has two children under her knees. Xiang Shaoya also has a concubine, the Chu family, the Chu family is the most favored, and he lives with Xiang Shaoya in the camp on weekdays.

More than two months ago, when Xiang Shaoya returned to the mansion, he started arguing with the Prime Minister about whether to send troops to Yu Kingdom. But every time he felt that the trick was seen through, the Prime Minister was always one step ahead of him, and Xiang Shaoya couldn't help suspecting that there were spies in the house.

Zichen told me these things. On the second day after I took over the task, he came to take me around the house, and told me what he saw.

"I follow the master on weekdays, and I don't go back to the house often, so I may not know much. But you can find me if you need anything." He smiled at me friendly.

As Zikou said, he is a handsome and kind boy, the man she likes the most at her age.

I nodded and asked, "Since you don't always live in the mansion, why doesn't the general let Steward Xu come to investigate?"

"Butler Xu was brought to the Xiang family by the old lady. If Butler Xu finds out that there are spies in the house, he will definitely alarm the old lady. The general does not want to alarm the old lady."

After a pause, Zi Chen laughed again, showing his two canine teeth: "Besides, Steward Xu is strict and protective, so he definitely doesn't want to believe that there is something wrong with his servants."

I looked at him and said lightly, "Maybe he's not a slave either?"

Zi Chen was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "You mean..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the quarrel in front of him. I looked up and saw that the source of the quarrel was Chu and Zhang.

Surrounded by a group of nuns and maidservants, Zhang's youngest daughter was rubbing her eyes and crying loudly. Zhang claimed that it was Chu who pushed her daughter. Chu looked at Zhang with a cold face and said nothing.

I heard that Ms. Zhang is a capable and pungent woman, and she is very generous and domineering because there is no wife in the house. But Chu's temperament is lofty and indifferent, and he never pays attention to Zhang's.

One of them relies on having children, and the other relies on being favored, but they are evenly matched.

Mrs. Zhang satirized Mrs. Chu for not being able to have children, Mrs. Chu didn't seem to hear it, until Mrs. Zhang popped out a sentence - a woman who can't keep a queen is really embarrassing to her parents.

At this moment, Mrs. Chu was looking at Mrs. Zhang. Her facial features were originally full of heroism, but Mrs. Zhang shivered when she glanced at her so coldly.

"My parents died for the country, and you can blame them at will?"

Zichen said softly to me: "Chu's father and brothers are under the Lord Hou, and they are all loyal. Now she is the only one left in the family."

Mrs. Zhang stared and was speechless, Mrs. Chu looked at her little daughter with a sneer, and said, "You are so good at acting at such a young age, you really look like your mother." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhang turned blue , and left with his maidservants.

Mrs. Zhang lost her temper and sent away all the maids and nuns around her.

Father Wang is such a beautiful concubine, this scene is really familiar.

Seeing Mrs. Chu walking towards us, Zichen and I bowed our heads in salute. Chu's footsteps stopped in front of us, she quietly asked: "A new maid?"

Zichen said respectfully: "You are the personal maid of Mr. Ji, Ah Zhi."

Chu's eyes flicked between us, and her tone became a little bit harsh: "You are as usual to please girls."

This was a bit inexplicable, but she didn't say any more, and left with her maidservants. Zichen and I looked at each other, he shrugged and said with a smile, "Little Madam Chu has such a temperament."

This does not seem to be simply a matter of temperament.

"You don't seem to have a good relationship."

"...Little Madam Chu really doesn't like me very much."

"why?"

"I don't know, maybe I think I'm too detached? But Mrs. Chu doesn't like many people, and I'm not the only one." Zi Chen was quite helpless.

After a pause, Zichen said: "As for the matter between the wives, I don't really understand, just be careful not to interfere, the general hates house fights the most."

I nod.

Afterwards, Zichen still had his affairs to attend to, so I didn't bother him. I walked around the mansion by myself for more than five days. Fortunately, there were quite a lot of servants in Xiang's mansion, and they liked to chat on weekdays, which made it convenient for me to collect information.

The Prime Minister puts eyeliner around Xiang Shaoya, if it is just a small servant, it is of no value, the only ones who are close to Xiang Shaoya in the mansion are his followers, the housekeeper, the old lady, Mrs Zhang and Mrs Chu and their personal maids, let’s take a look sub reduced a lot. The reason why Xiang Shaoya invited Ji Yu, an outsider, to investigate was probably because he was afraid of disturbing others, and he was afraid that rumors would hurt his peace.

As Zichen said, under Steward Xu's rule, the old lady was strict and generous, and the atmosphere in the Xiang family was always good, and theft and fights rarely happened. Every servant and servant who entered the mansion was innocent and seemed to have nothing to do with the prime minister.

I was thinking silently, when I was passing through the Fuchu garden, I heard a burst of piano sound. Looking up, in the garden is a woman dressed in light yellow twill brocade, with a hairpin inlaid with fine South Sea pearls in her hair, and a little bright cinnabar on her forehead. She lowered her eyes and carelessly stroked the guqin in front of her. Standing beside them were nine maidservants, all dressed in blue, standing respectfully.

I hesitated for a while, and was about to take a detour, but I heard the woman's indifferent but majestic voice: "Which family's maid is so inappropriate, you can hear my zither?"

She was still playing the qin, without looking at me from the beginning to the end, but besides her maidservants in the huge garden, I was the only maidservant.

So I blessed my body and bowed, saying: "I dare not."

She smiled, raised her beautiful eyebrows, with a cold meaning: "Why, why don't you kneel down while apologizing? Your master has raised you to have a big temper."

Just when I was about to speak, a voice sounded: "The princess blamed me so much, but I don't know if it's Ji Yu or His Royal Highness the Seventh Princess of Qi?"

I turned around and saw Ji Yu walking over. He was dressed in purple, holding a folding fan in his hand, which was painted by the late eccentric Mo Qianqiu. There was an unfathomable smile in his beautiful phoenix eyes.

The woman finally raised her head and looked at me with surprise in her eyes. She stood up slowly and walked in front of me. Slightly raised her chin, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, she said casually: "So you are the new maidservant of Mr. Ji, who used to serve the Seventh Princess of Qi. Then tell me, I will marry you." She, who is more beautiful?"

She stood in front of me so that I could see her beauty clearly. At that moment, I understood who she was, the Princess Yuzhuang of Fan Country—Su Cheng.

Jiang Qiqi, the Seventh Princess of Qi State, Su Cheng, Princess Yuzhuang of Fan State, and Mrs. Wei Guoxin are beauties with considerable reputations. It is rumored that Su Cheng is a very arrogant and conceited woman, and her beauty and talent are worthy of such conceit.

Such a woman probably cannot allow herself to be different from others.

In all fairness, Su Teng is really beautiful, her face is as fair and delicate as porcelain carefully carved with a ruler, and her confident and aloof temperament from the inside out makes her look unattainable.

So I smiled, and said lightly: "The Seventh Princess died when she was the most beautiful, and Her Royal Highness will grow old one day. But the beauty of the Princess still exists in the world, and the beauty of the Seventh Princess has disappeared. How to compare have to?"

Su Cheng was silent for a while, hummed softly, and said, "You can really talk." His eyes turned to the fan in Ji Yu's hand, and he raised his beautiful eyes, a little surprised.

"Mo Qianqiu's painting?"

"Deer Mountain Snow Removal Map."

"Three thousand taels of gold, I want your fan."

Ji Yu hooked the corners of her mouth, as if laughing. This expression made Su Cheng a little unhappy. She pursed her lips and looked at Ji Yu, waiting for Ji Yu to bid. Ji Yu smiled and said, "Some people think Mo Qianqiu's paintings are priceless, while others think they are worthless. Buying paintings is originally for liking. If you insist on putting a price on it, it will be a disgrace to this liking."

Su Cheng's eyes flickered, his expression became gentler, and he said lightly: "Young Master Ji is indeed out of the ordinary, then, how can you give up your love, Young Master?"

He spoke a lot more politely, but he was still persistent and strong.

Ji Yu's eyes fell on the guqin on the stone table behind Su Cheng, and she smiled lightly: "I heard that the princess's piano is an antique, and the sound is excellent, and the princess can't put it down. Can I borrow Ji Yu to play it today?"

Su Cheng turned his head to look at the guqin behind him, then glanced at the fan in Ji Yu's hand, thought for a while, and agreed to Ji Yu.

I resigned knowingly and left the garden quickly. When he was leaving, he heard two zither sounds, and Ji Yu's soft and watery voice: "The princess's "Yangchun Baixue" just now is perfect in terms of fingering, but why is this relaxed and lively piece played so lonely?"

When I looked, I saw the unconcealable surprise and an inexplicable emotion in Su Cheng's eyes.

Zikou said that both Lingshang and Changle's piano skills were taught by Ji Yu himself, but they are not as good as 70% of his own. After listening to their ensemble that day, such a wonderful piano sound is only 70% of Ji Yu's level. I think that in nearly a hundred princes, no one's piano skills are higher than his.

I think Ji Yu has achieved his goal.

Su Teng, the owner of Yuzhuang County, has a special status in Fan Kingdom. She was originally the eleventh daughter of the current King Fan. Because of an agreement between King Fan and Lord Guangcheng some years ago, Su Cheng was adopted by Lord Guangcheng's family to be raised by him since he was born. Mr. Guangcheng regards her as the apple of his eye, and King Fan loves Su Teng very much. Coupled with her talent and beauty, her status is actually higher than that of any princess in Fan Kingdom.

With Su Cheng's help, even if the prime minister obstructs him in every possible way, Ji Yu will definitely be able to meet Fan Jun.
