Because of her warm and watery personality, a cold person like Xi Jiu Er would feel 30% intimate and 70% protective of her desires.

These were not the things that left the deepest impression on her. What left the deepest impression was the natural birthmark of a peach blossom in the corner of the woman's eyes.

This was the first time the woman gave Xi Jiu Er such a clear and friendly impression.

"Ha!" It's finally filling the harem, isn't it? "In the end, a concubine is still only a concubine." Xi Jiu Er reached out to touch that beautiful tattoo, and a faint stabbing pain appeared in her heart.

The sunlight outside was especially warm, and after sneaking in, a large portion of it stopped on Xi Jiu Er's spotlessly white face, giving some warmth to her originally cold face.

Some things were destined to be buried in the depths of one's heart and no one could tell them. Some people were destined to stay in front of other people's beds and wipe their eyebrows and makeup, and they were destined to just be passersby. Even if they did appear in a glorious manner, they would only end up being lost in time.

Xi Jiu Er lay on the side on the bed, staring at the yellow light on the ground, she was momentarily at a loss.

Would he really have to wait here and watch him bring in another woman before leaving willingly?

[What am I reluctant to part with in such a big and spacious place?]

Xi Jiu Er's hands that were caressing the tattoo slightly trembled, a teardrop lightly hung on her eyelashes, sparkling and translucent like a rare treasure that had fallen from the sky.

"Help me up, I want to go out and bask in the sunlight," Xi Jiu Er said to the two maids outside the great hall as he slowly propped himself up.

The sound of footsteps could be heard outside the hall, gradually becoming clearer and clearer. A bare hand gently lifted the crystal curtain, and a young girl dressed in white hurried in with small steps. Behind her, a woman who seemed to be one or two years older than her entered.

"Imperial Concubine, this servant didn't hear it clearly just now. I came late, please forgive me, Empress!" The young lady folded her sleeves and knelt on the ground, her voice clearly filled with fear and terror.

The woman behind the young girl followed suit and knelt down as well.

Since the last time Xi Jiu Er accidentally misunderstood the maid Wan Yun, she did not trust anyone in the palace anymore. Even though she treated the maids in the palace even more generously than before, she revealed estrangement and indifference at every turn. Usually, as long as she was not involved in the ruckus and had to personally step in, she would basically just open her eyes and follow them out.

It was also because after that incident, Xi Jiu Er specially came to's side to look for the Chief Eunuch, requesting them to change out of the maids and eunuchs that were by his side.

The Chief Eunuch did not dare to disobey. He would follow beside the Emperor and hear the name of the Imperial Concubine almost every day. Sometimes he would hear it from others, and sometimes he would hear it from the Emperor.

However, without exception, His Majesty the Emperor would always be cautious about the various details of the Imperial Concubine, even going as far as asking about its daily life, and would even remind him repeatedly and meticulously.

As a Chief Eunuch who had lived in the palace for a long time, if he still could not see through the Emperor's intentions, then all these decades of observation would have been a waste.

The Chief Eunuch replied respectfully and left the hall. A few days later, he personally trained all the newcomers and brought them over for Xi Jiu Er to choose from.

Xi Jiu Er could naturally see through her thoughts, it was just that she could not understand why such an unfavoured "Imperial Concubine", which was no different from being beaten up into a cold palace, could actually cause a big shot beside Feng Qing Cheng to curry favor with him, it was quite shocking.

Xi Jiu Er was very satisfied with the new batch of people that followed. Other than a few young girls who liked to hide at the side and chat about the Ancient Palace and the rumors of the martial arts world, the palace maids and eunuchs were all very reserved and respectful, treating this Imperial Concubine with great care.

Xi Jiu Er could not help but exclaim at how the Chief Eunuch lecturer was able to cause others to respect him.

Xi Jiu Er stood up and put the furnace in his hand to the side, then casually raised his hand, signaling the two of them to stand up.

The young lady's voice was clear and bright like the sound of a mountain stream flowing Liu Shui, and also like a melodious bell used by travelers on their journey in the desert, "Does Imperial Concubine need me to finish making the Silver Ear Lotus Seed Soup?"

Xi Jiu Er's taste had a sudden change today. A few days ago, she was especially passionate, but today, she suddenly started to like the sweet food. She especially liked the Silver Ear Lotus Seed Soup made by the girl dressed in white clothes palace.

"No need, I ate enough just now. It's still stored in my stomach."

Xi Jiu Er lazily lifted her hand to cover her lips, and slowly yawned, getting up to allow people to change.

Xi Jiu Er realized that ever since she had come to Wind Nation, the weather had been clear and bright for six to seven days. It was as if she had brought warmth to this country which was famous for its cold winter weather because of him.

Xi Jiu Er still liked to lean on the hundred-year-old pine tree and read books for the first time in order to cook tea.

Xi Jiu Er got a special pardon from Feng Qing Cheng, and released all of the maids and eunuchs who were originally serving him out of the palace. She even gave them quite a bit of silver as a form of entanglement, causing everyone to kowtow one by one to express their gratitude.

She had originally thought that everyone would be released from the palace, until the second day, when Chief Eunuch came to her palace and specifically called Wan Yun to the imperial study. What Xi Jiu Er remembered most was that when she left, there was pride and arrogance in his eyes that was hard to describe, as if she wanted to demonstrate this method to her.

The truth proved that this kind of demonstration was effective, because after that day, Wan Yun had never returned. Naturally, Xi Jiu Er did not mind as well.

Just out of curiosity, or perhaps it was out of unimaginable, that Feng Qing Cheng had dealt with this woman, but on the second day, there was some news. His Majesty the Emperor stayed the entire night in the imperial study, and did not go anywhere.

He didn't know when this woman caught the attention of the Emperor and took her away in front of Xi Jiu Er. Hence, for the next three days, Xi Jiu Er waited leisurely for the Emperor to give him an order to kick him out of the palace, giving him this huge and empty palace to the new owner.

He hoped wholeheartedly that Wan Yun's happiness would be exchanged for her freedom. This kind of house that was like an empty shell, this husband that was like an empty shell, he didn't care about it, even if he was injured beyond recognition.
