The Imperial City of Kyoto has clear skies
The sky is clear in Kyoto.
In Nanyang Hou's Mansion, Shihan was wiping the table in Yaoying Pavilion.
Mu Xingze's servant Jiwen came in and said, "Miss Shihan, Madam asked you to go to Chu Yuyuan."
Shihan was a little panicked and asked, "Did Madam say anything?"
"No, Madam told you to put down what you are doing and go immediately," Ji Wen said.
"well……"
Shihan put down the rag in her hand and left Yaoying Pavilion.
In Chu Yuyuan, Mrs. Jiang Zheling, the Marquis of Nanyang, was pruning flowers in the hall.
"This slave has met Mrs. Hou."
Shihan knelt down, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.
Jiang Zheling didn't look at her and continued pruning the flowers seriously, as if she didn't hear her.
After a while, she put down the scissors in her hand, handed them to her mother who was following her, and said, "Okay, let's get up."
"yes."
Shihan stood up slowly, still lowering his head.
Seeing her submissive look, Jiang Zheling knew that even if this girl could get Xingze's favor, she wouldn't be able to achieve anything.
"Madam, the bird's nest is ready. You can go in and use it first." Another nanny came over and said.
"Yeah." Jiang Zheling looked at Shihan and said, "You can come in too."
"yes……"
Shihan followed Mrs. Hou into the house and came to the main hall.
Jiang Zheling took the bird's nest handed over by her grandma, used a spoonful of it and put it down again, and asked: "How is the little marquis lately? What have you been busy with all day?"
"To tell you what Madam, the young Marquis spends all day studying in his study, and occasionally practices shooting," Shi Han said.
"You know very well." Jiang Zheling said.
Shihan immediately knelt down, not knowing how to reply or whether he should be clear or not.
Jiang Zheling glanced at her, such a stupid person was not worthy of being Xingze's concubine.
"I heard that that night... the young Marquis took possession of your body?"
"Madam... it is Shihan's blessing to be able to serve the young Marquis." Shihan said quickly.
"The young Marquis told me today that he wants to take you as my concubine, what do you think?" Jiang Zheling asked.
Shihan's mind went blank, and she thought for a long time before she spoke: "I don't dare to accept the little Marquis's promotion. I just want to be a girl, accompanying the little Marquis, and I am content."
Jiang Zheling nodded, "You still understand the rules. You should tell your young master this, so as not to make your young master think that it is me who is getting in your way."
"Yes, I will definitely explain it to the young marquis." Shi Han said.
"Well, you should get up first." Jiang Zheling said.
"yes……"
Shihan stood up timidly, never daring to raise her head to look at Mrs. Hou.
"On weekdays, you are the only girl serving in Yaoying Pavilion. It is really hard work. I will ask Mother Cui to give you two or two months of silver every month." Jiang Zheling said.
"Yes...thank you, madam." Shihan secretly rejoiced.
Seeing the smile on her lips, Jiang Zheling felt a little contemptuous. She sneered secretly and said, "Although you are serving in Yaoying Pavilion, you must also remember who brought you into the house."
"Yes, I am extremely grateful for Madam's kindness." Shi Han said.
"That's good, okay, you can go back."
"yes……"
Shihan left Chu Yuyuan and returned to Yaoying Pavilion happily.
At this time, Mu Xingze had finished practicing his spear and was sitting in the study drinking tea, covered with sweat.
"Little Marquis, you are back. Please go and boil some hot water for you to wipe your sweat." Shi Han said.
"Wait a minute, Madam just came to see you, what was it about?" Mu Xingze asked.
Shihan smiled and said: "Madam said, Yaoying Pavilion only has one slave girl to serve, and I want to give my slave two or two months of silver increase every month."
Mu Xingze raised his head and glanced at her, "It's just two taels of silver, why are you so happy?"
"Of course, I have never seen so much silver before," Shihan said.
"That's all, go and boil the water." Mu Xingze said.
"Yes." Shihan nodded, thinking of what Madam Hou said, and then said: "Little Marquis, I am very happy to be with you and serve you. I am not worthy of being your concubine, so please Xiao Hou
I will make this servant perfect."
"That's all, as long as you are happy." Mu Xingze said and picked up the book on the table.
"Um."
Shihan smiled happily, and Mu Xingze was also a little dazed. This girl was so easily satisfied.
People who work hard for survival are probably more likely to achieve happiness than people like them. To put it bluntly, Shihan was kind to him and caring in every way, not because she liked him, but because he was the little marquis.

At Prince Heng's Mansion, Qian Lingshuang's health has improved a lot and he is willing to go out for a walk when the weather is fine.
"Miss, I see that your complexion is much better. Look, how good it is. In the past, you refused to take medicine properly and almost collapsed your body." Juanzi said.
"Humans, as long as they have vision, they can live." Qian Ling said happily.
"My dream is that the young lady will be healthy and free from any illness." Juanzi said with a smile.
At this time, a young man ran over and said: "Prince Princess, Master Qian is here and has brought you some supplements. He is waiting for you in Ouxiang Courtyard."
"Brother is here? Okay, I understand, I'll go back now."
Qian Lingshuang walked in the direction of Ou Xiangyuan, his pace getting faster and faster.
"Miss, please slow down and be careful where you step," Juanzi reminded.
"Brother came here today. Maybe he has something to say. I must rush back early before the prince finds out." Qian Ling said happily.
Entering the gate of Ou Xiang Yuan, Qian Lingshuang was surprised to find that Zhao Yi and Qian Lingyuan were drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard.
"Ah Shuang, you're back."
Zhao Yi stood up, helped Qian Lingshuang sit down at the table, and said, "Why are you so anxious? Don't worry, my uncle will stay and have dinner with us today."
Qian Lingshuang smiled and looked at Qian Lingyuan, "Brother, is it true?"
"Yeah." Qian Lingyuan nodded and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Brother, I heard that my grandfather was unwell some time ago. Is he feeling better now?" Qian Lingshuang asked.
"Grandpa's health is no longer serious. He's just getting old and had a cold some time ago." Qian Lingyuan replied.
Qian Lingshuang nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."
"Uncle, Ah Shuang is still recovering. In a few days, I will take her back to the Shangshu Mansion to see the old Shangshu and his father-in-law." Zhao Yi said.
"In that case, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for this." Qian Lingyuan smiled and cupped his fists in greeting.
"No, why should my uncle and I be so polite?" Zhao Yi said.
"Master Shizi, you and my brother are chatting first. I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare some good dishes." Qian Lingshuang said and stood up.
"Well, you go ahead." Zhao Yi nodded.
Qian Lingshuang walked towards the kitchen, and Juanzi asked in a low voice: "Miss, why is the master sick? How come you don't know?"
"I just came back in such a hurry. If I hadn't said so, the prince might have become suspicious and suspected that my brother and I were secretly exchanging information behind his back." Qian Lingshuang said.
"So that's it."
