Yan Qiqi looked at the retreating figure, the waves in her eyes flowing slightly, and then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Yan Qiqi was awakened by the sound of footsteps while she was sleeping.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Xia Bei leading several maids and boys in. The maids carried bedding and daily necessities, and the boys carried furniture such as beds and tables into the yard.

Yan Qiqi didn't show any surprise at this. She sat up slowly, stretched her body, and beat her sore shoulders.

It's really uncomfortable to sleep on this roof, and it's a world of difference compared to a soft bed.

Yan Qiqi flew down from the roof and landed in front of Xia Bei.

If you want to live better in this ancient world, you must make yourself stronger.

So when she has nothing to do, she will practice martial arts. Naturally, Qinggong is also one of her exercises. As the saying goes, if you can't fight, run away.

Although her current Qinggong is far inferior to that of Yin Tianjue, climbing up trees and walls is not a problem and she can do it without any external aids.

When Xia Bei saw her coming down, he quickly raised his hands and saluted, "I'm here to see Wang, Tan, and Tan to serve as my concubine."

I'm used to calling her Princess, and it's really hard to change my name for a while. It's really awkward to call her 'Concubine Tan'.

Yan Qiqi rolled her eyes and ignored the word 'concubine'. Her eyes fell on the things held by the maid and the servant, "Did Yin Tianjue ask you to bring these things?"

It sounds like a question, but it's actually a matter of determination.

"Uh..." Xia Bei's eyes flashed slightly and he immediately shook his head, "It's not the master, it's the subordinates who thought that the conditions in Yueluoyuan were too bad, so they asked the general to bring some things here."

"Oh, really?" Yan Qiqi looked at those things with a half-smile, "You are quite brave. You dare to do these things behind your master's back. Aren't you afraid that your master will blame you?"

How could Xia Bei dare to do these things without his permission.

She knows the few followers around Yin Tianjue best. You Dong and Zuo Xi will not go into details. They only follow Yin Tianjue's orders.

As for Xia Bei and Shang Nan, who are usually carefree and glib, in fact, at critical moments, the first thing they think of is their master. No matter what Yin Tianjue does is right or wrong, they will never go against it.

So these things were undoubtedly brought here by Yin Tianjue.

A look of uneasiness flashed in Xia Bei's eyes, and he said with a little embarrassment: "After all, we have known each other for so long, there is no reason not to help you when I see you in trouble."

"Really?" Yan Qiqi glanced at him, without saying anything, and cupped her hands meaningfully, "Thank you very much."

"Ahem, Concubine Tan, you don't have to be polite." Xia Bei raised his hand to his lips and pretended to cough, "Look to see if any of these things are missing. If you are missing anything, tell your subordinates and they will help you get it done.

"

Yan Qiqi glanced at those objects and shook her head, "No need, these things are enough."

She could fall asleep on the roof, so there was nothing she couldn't accept.

Afterwards, Yan Qiqi stopped talking and just looked at Xia Bei thoughtfully.

Xia Bei was a little frightened by the sight, and felt a chill on the back of his spine. He couldn't help but touch his cheek, and said with a guilty conscience: "Concubine Tan, is there something on my face?"

"No." Yan Qiqi slowly looked away from him, forget it, he was loyal to Yin Tianjue, no matter how hard she tried to coerce him, he would not tell her a word.

Why would the old man look at him like this if it weren't for you? Xia Bei secretly wiped the sweat from his body, and his tense heart relaxed a lot.

I'm really afraid that if the princess asks about the master, if he accidentally lets it slip, the master won't skin him off, so it's better to spend less time with the princess.

Xia Bei said quickly: "Concubine Tan, my subordinates still have things to do. If you are missing something, just ask someone to do it, or let someone inform me, and I will definitely help you do it."

"Well, you are busy." Yan Qiqi did not stay with him, and waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

The maids and servants cleaned the house, arranged the things inside neatly, and then left.

On the bg, I just took off my shoes casually, pulled the quilt over my body, and fell asleep.

She had barely slept on the roof. She was so sleepy now that she had better catch up on her sleep.

Yan Qiqi woke up after not knowing how long she slept. She got up in a daze and wanted to wash up.

With his eyes closed, he shouted: "Come here, get me some face wash."

After waiting for a while and no one came in, Yan Qiqi remembered that she seemed to have been demoted to Yueluoyuan.

There was no maid here at all, only two servants, who still watched her to prevent her from escaping.

Yan Qiqi sat up, looked at the dilapidated house, and had to accept the reality.

She is now a concubine.

Forget it, make enough food and clothing by yourself.

When I came here yesterday, I saw a well in the yard and I didn't know if it could be used.

He pulled the wrinkles on his clothes casually and walked out of the house.

The rope on this well was covered with dust and looked like it had not been used for a long time.

Yan Qiqi had never played with this thing before, and she became interested for a moment. She first put the bucket down, and then slowly shook it up.

When the bucket was about to emerge from the well mouth, the rope broke with a "prick" sound, followed by a bang and the sound of the bucket falling in.

Yan Qiqi raised her head and looked into the well, and sighed: "Did I make a mistake? I can't even wash my face with some water."

Raising her hand to touch her face, could it be that she was told to stop washing her face and stop asking for her face?

The corners of Yan Qiqi's lips twitched. She didn't expect that she was quite optimistic. She had reached this point and she could still entertain herself.

He laughed lightly to himself and walked towards the door.

As soon as she arrived at the door, the boy at the door blocked her way, "Tan, Tan, concubine, His Highness told you not to go out."

"Ha!" Yan Qiqi smiled sarcastically, "If I don't go out, what will I do if I eat, drink, and wash my face and take a shower?"

The boy said: "At noon, someone came to deliver the food. But you were asleep and could not be disturbed, so I took the food back. As for washing, there is a well in the yard. Concubine Tan, you can dig it yourself."

Pick."

"Who told me to take the food away?" Yan Qiqi frowned, her voice a little impatient, "I'm hungry now, please hurry up and ask someone to bring food and a bucket of bath water."

"Tan, Concubine Tan." The young man was a little unsure, "If Concubine Tan wants to eat, she has to wait until night. And if Concubine Tan wants to use water, she can just dig it herself. If the well is broken, there is nothing we can do about it."

, I can only wrong my concubine Tan."

"What you mean is that you won't let me eat, bathe or wash my face!" Yan Qiqi raised her eyebrows, and a hint of anger emerged.

The two boys raised their eyes and glanced at her, then lowered their heads and said nothing.

Judging from the tone in which these two young men spoke to her, they most likely did not dare to offend her. The reason why they had the courage to say these things must have been under the instigation of someone. Who it was, there was no need to think about it carefully.

Yan Qiqi was immediately furious. Yin Tianjue really got into trouble with her and had to force her away.

Huh! It's impossible to force her away with this little trick.

If she had no food, wouldn't she be able to find it by herself? She raised her feet and walked out.

"Concubine Tan, you can't go out." The two servants immediately blocked her way.

Yan Qiqi's eyes narrowed suddenly, "Why not? I'm hungry now and have to go out to find something to eat. You'd better get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"This..." The boy's expression changed, but he still whispered, "You really can't go out..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Qiqi quickly clicked on them a few times and stood there like a wooden man.

Yan Qiqi shook the hem of her skirt and walked away with brisk steps.

She knew the way to Prince Rui's Mansion very well, and within a moment, she took a small path to the kitchen.

Because she often cooks food for Yin Tianjue and is a frequent visitor in the kitchen, everyone who works in the kitchen knows her.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw her coming, and immediately saluted her, "See Tan, Tan is my concubine."

"No need to be polite, you can just be busy with whatever you are supposed to do and don't worry about me." Yan Qiqi was used to calling this concubine and wandered around the kitchen without changing her expression.

The fact that the Crown Princess was demoted to a concubine had spread throughout the palace, so they naturally knew about it.

Everyone present sympathized with Yan Qiqi. Not long ago, the two were extremely affectionate, but now they were in this situation.

Everyone deeply regretted this, but it was not something their servants could ask about, so they all went about their own work.

"Master Liu, process a white sand fish for me." Yan Qiqi rolled up her sleeves and ordered a middle-aged man standing not far away.

"Okay, I'll do it for you right now." Chef Liu immediately took a fish and started peeling it.

"Princess, after His Highness eats the fish you cooked, he will definitely return your position as Crown Princess to you. I still believe in His Highness's feelings for you." It would be easier to call her Princess.

Yan Qiqi paused with her hands, raised her face and said with a smile: "Master Liu misunderstood, I didn't cook it for him. I was hungry, so I came to the kitchen to find something to eat."

While he was talking, he had already cut onions and ginger and put them on the plate, as if nothing was wrong.

Chef Liu was slightly startled, as if he had thought of something, and sighed softly, "Alas..."

I really don’t know what happened to Your Highness, who managed to get so many women into the palace and demoted such a good princess to a concubine.

Alas, the affairs of the masters are either something he can interfere with as a servant, or he can complain about the injustice for the princess.

At this time, a maid took the stew out of the stew pot.

"What is this?" Yan Qiqi raised her head and looked.

The maid said: "Go back to Concubine Tan, this is blood bird's nest porridge."

"Really? I happen to be hungry. Give it to me and let me put it on the bottom first." With that said, Yan Qiqi brought it over and was about to pour it into the bowl.
