Red lanterns hung high up, and the manor was brightly lit.
The building was magnificent, showing the noble status of the owner.
"Greetings, Your Highness! Welcome back to your residence, Your Highness!" A middle-aged man led a group of servants to kneel down and greet them in unison.
"Get up." Gao Xili said and then introduced,"This is Miss Song Xiaobei. You have to serve her carefully.”
"This servant greets Miss Song.”Everyone knelt again.
"Get up quickly. Don't kneel in front of me in the future.”Song Xiaobei saw that a few of them were about the same age as her parents and quickly helped one of the women up.
"Uncle Fu, Mother Wen, Ling Long, stay behind. The rest of you can leave.”
"This servant will take his leave."
"Xiaobei, this is Uncle Fu, the butler of the Prince's mansion. Mother Wen, my nanny. They were husband and wife, and they were in charge of the affairs of the residence. If you need anything, look for them."
"Hello, Uncle Fu! Hello, Mother Wen!" Song Xiaobei greeted.
"Hello, Miss Song!" The person Song Xiaobei was supporting was none other than Mother Wen. The couple immediately fell in love with this beautiful and cute woman.
"Linglong, from today onwards, you will take care of Xiaobei.”
"This servant will obey your orders."
Linglong was smart, quick-witted, and considerate. She had been serving his highness. Seeing that his master wanted him to serve Miss Song, it was obvious how important this lady was. "Greetings, Miss Song."”
"Alright, Uncle Fu, Aunt Wen, and Linglong, don't bow to me, and don't call me a slave or a servant. In my eyes, everyone is equal.”
"Yes, I will follow your orders."
"It's not Miss Song either. It's a little awkward. Let's call her Xiaobei.”As Song Xiaobei spoke, her stomach started singing the story of the empty city.
Everyone laughed.
Soon, the dishes were served. Song Xiaobei asked the servants to leave and said to the guard,""Sit. You guys stand, I'll sit. You guys watch while I eat. I'm not used to it.”
"We've been eating together for more than ten days. Let's eat together in the future.”Gao Xili said. In the past, he had always eaten alone, and the food was tasteless. These geniuses felt the taste of the food.
"Yes, Master." Xiao Ming and the others quickly sat down.
This time, Song Xiaobei said very little. Firstly, he was hungry, and secondly, this was the Imperial Residence. He had to be careful.
After dinner, Gao Xili called Xiao Ming to the study. After a while, Xiao Ming walked out with a happy smile. Gao Xili's face revealed a hint of craftiness.
Ling Long brought Song Xiaobei out for a walk in the yard to familiarize herself with the environment. There were many houses, pavilions, small bridges, lotus ponds, bamboo forests, and precious flowers and trees. Fortunately, Ling Long was with him. Otherwise, he might have gotten lost.
After walking one round, Song Xiaobei sat at the door and looked at the stars. The breeze carried the fragrance of flowers. Little Bug was singing, and she could even hear the croaking of frogs. Away from the fast-paced modern world and the hustle and bustle of the city, Song Xiaobei quietly enjoyed the gift of nature.
"Xiaobei, what are you thinking about? Where's Linglong?" Gao Xili saw Song Xiaobei sitting alone and asked.
"Ling Long went to do something. I'm looking at the stars. In order to study the celestial bodies, people divide the stars into many constellations, such as Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, and so on. The most recognizable one was the spoon-like one, which was the Big Dipper. The brightest one was called Polaris. Other stars would change their positions with the seasons, but Polaris would always be in that position.”
"The Big Dipper is indeed easy to recognize. That modern era was amazing. People could understand the distant starry sky.”
"There are two sides to everything. There would be drawbacks in some aspects of social progress. Although this place could not compare to the modern world, it was still quite good. It was quiet and peaceful, making people feel at ease and comfortable.”
"That's good. Xiaobei, let me show you the room."”
Gao Xili brought Song Xiaobei to the main house and approached a room. Song Xiaobei took a look. The furniture was all mahogany, and there was a large bed with carved flowers. The beige curtains were embroidered with auspicious clouds. There were a few sets of high-quality women's clothing in the cabinet, as well as shoes and socks. There were books, eyebrow pencil, and the four treasures of the study on the table. There were all kinds of jewelry and cosmetics on the dressing table. A very fine bronze mirror reflected the girl's beautiful face.
"Could it be that these things were prepared for me?”Song Xiaobei pointed at the clothes and accessories. "If you don't like these, Xiaobei can change to something else.”Gao Xili nodded.
"These are good. I didn't expect that I was quite pretty. Dear, when did you stab me in the head?”Song Xiaobei looked at herself in the mirror. She touched her face and saw a shiny golden hairpin in her hair.
"On the way."
"Thank you. If I bring this thing to the modern world, it will definitely cause a sensation.”Song Xiaobei took down the golden hairpin to admire it. It was exquisitely crafted, and the lotus flowers were lifelike.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it. It's very beautiful. Dear, where is your room?" "I've never seen a man's room before." Song Xiaobei put down the hairpin and asked.”
"Next door." Gao Xili brought Song Xiaobei into his room. The furnishings of the two rooms were similar, but there were more books. The brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were neatly placed, and the room was spotless.
"So clean and tidy. Dear, are you a man?" Song Xiaobei asked a funny question.
"What do you think?" Gao Xili couldn't help but laugh. He didn't even know how many years it had been since he last smiled.
"Dear, I saw a courtyard next door when I was walking. I'll stay there. It's not proper to stay here.”
"Xiaobei, are you worried that your reputation will be damaged?"
"I don't care. The innocent will be innocent."
"Then stay here. The mastermind hasn't been caught yet. I'm worried that you'll be in danger if you stay in the side courtyard.”Gao Xili said half-truthfully.
"Alright then." Song Xiaoyou said. She came here for no reason and suddenly lived with a man. She did not understand why God would make such an arrangement. If his sister knew, he didn't know what she would think.
"Good night!" Song Xiaobei and Gao Xili separated.
"Good night!"
Linglong brought her to the bathroom, and Song Xiaobei took a look at the bathroom.
The facilities in the Prince's mansion were a hundred times better than the Song family's.
Song Xiaobei took a comfortable shower and fell asleep.
……
Capital Qin Wang Fu
"Idiot! They're all good-for-nothings. Yama King's Palace roared, and the earth trembled.'Bullsh * t! Trash! He was really lucky that he didn't kill him twice.”A man's face darkened with anger.
"Master, I heard that he brought back a girl. That girl lives in the wangfu.”a guard said carefully.
"Miss? This is interesting." The man smiled. The man who never got close to women actually brought a woman home. If she was a femme fatale, then the heavens had eyes.
"Go and investigate the background of that woman."
"Yes, I am. Master, why don't we find a chance to kill him in the capital?”
"After these two incidents, he will be very vigilant. We'll talk about it later. Also, don't forget the rules.”
"Yes, sir!" The guard walked out righteously. Because the rule was that if one messed up, one would be rewarded with thirty strokes of the stick.
These were the few people that Song Xiaobei had met in Jie Yuan Village.
The man who was addressed as Lord was the Second Prince, Gao Xiqin. He had some brains, but because he was educated by his mother from a young age, he was filled with desire for power. Emperor Gao Xijie was kind-hearted, so he temporarily ignored him. Among the other Princes, the Third Prince Gao Xiji was the most outstanding. More than ten years ago, he had secretly poisoned her. His legs were useless. The Fourth Prince Gao Xixu was an idle man, spending half of his time every year traveling. The Fifth Prince Gao Xili was skilled in both martial arts and literature. He was the Emperor's right-hand man and Gao Xiqin's rival. Therefore, he would occasionally find some " fun " for his opponents in the Luocheng area. The sixth prince, Gao Xixun, was useless. Seventh Prince Gao Ximeng was not a threat.
Gao Xili knew this very well, but he didn't expect to be careless.
……
The next day, Song Xiaobei did not go out. She stayed in the Imperial Residence to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The environment here was even better than a park. All kinds of flowers were colorful and beautiful. The green grass was like a carpet. The precious trees were lush. The lotus flowers stood gracefully. The little fish swam happily in the stream. The colorful butterflies linger. Birds flew freely. The garden was full of vitality. Song Xiaobei thought of Du Fu's poem: I miss the butterflies dancing, and the orioles sing freely.
After admiring the scenery, Song Xiaobei worked with Linglong and Mother Wen. She ate with everyone and even picked a few goose feathers to make a simple quill.
After spending a day together, everyone fell in love with this beautiful Empress. She couldn't call her " Miss Song ", and " Miss Xiaobei " was a mouthful, so she couldn't call her name directly. Everyone unanimously decided to address her as 'Miss'. Song Xiaobei had no choice but to let them be. She knew that this "Miss" was not that "Miss".
"Xiaobei, why didn't you go out for a walk?”
In the afternoon, Gao Xili came back from outside. The guard at the door told his master that the young lady had been staying in the residence.
"Cultivate your body and absorb the essence of heaven and earth.”
The two of them started chatting. Gao Xili was a very good person to chat with. He also liked to chat with Song Xiaobei about the world, the land, and the modern world.
The next morning, after her exercise, Song Xiaobei took a comfortable hot bath. She felt refreshed.
In front of the dressing table, Song Xiaobei said to Ling Long, who was combing her hair,""I'm going to the streets later. Linglong, come with me.”
"Miss, what do you need? Linglong, go buy it." Exquisite asked with a smile.
"I'm not buying anything. I'm looking for a job." Song Xiaobei said with a smile.
"Looking for a job? Miss is looking for a job?" Exquisite didn't understand.
Song Xiaobei spun around in front of the mirror. The person in the mirror was dignified, generous, and passionate. Okay. "Brother Jinzi, I'm here," she said to the mirror. Be good, wait for this sister to bring you home." He then winked at Exquisite and smiled."Yes, clothes are given to you, food is given to you. If you're not used to it, labor is the most glorious.”Then, he picked the simplest hairpin and put it on his head.
"Miss wants to marry Brother Jinzi?”
"Yes, I want Brother Jinzi to accompany me to find my man.”
"Ah?" Exquisite was shocked and her heart was in a mess. She was anxious for her master. Wangye, something big has happened. Quickly take the young miss home. She seems to have someone she likes, and not just one.
After Song Xiaobei and Gao Xili finished their breakfast, they went their separate ways. Xiao Ming stayed by Song Xiaobei's side as her personal bodyguard. Song Xiaobei smiled when she saw the carriage that Xiao Ming had prepared for her.
"Are there any girls who take the carriage to look for a job?”
"Young miss, it takes 35 minutes to walk from the wang fu to the main street, or even an hour.”
"It's fine." Song Xiaobei said as she walked. She thought about how she had survived the military training in university.
Song Xiaobei and the two of them chatted and laughed as they walked down the street. She was very confident in herself. With the wisdom and knowledge of the 21st century, finding a job was no big deal. It was still at his fingertips.
Song Xiaobei stayed outside until it was getting dark before returning to the residence.
At the dining table, Song Xiaobei pouted and looked unhappy.
"Xiao Ming, am I beautiful?" Suddenly, she asked.
"Miss is very beautiful."
"What do you think?"
"Miss is very beautiful." The guards said in unison.
"Dear, if I'm not lying, am I beautiful? Do you have any charm?"
"Beautiful like a fairy, with boundless charm."
"Then why doesn't the shop owner want me?"
Song Xiaobei was very depressed. She had stayed outside for a day, but she had not gained anything.
The guards were secretly happy, not that they didn't want it, but that they couldn't afford it. The noble master drew her portrait with great care and made all the shop owners on the street open their eyes wide to recognize the person in the painting. He gave them a serious warning that they must not hire the person in the painting. Otherwise, they would bear the consequences.
Xiao Liang and the others had secretly done these things overnight.
Song Xiaobei found dinner boring.
"Linglong, am I beautiful?" Song Xiaobei looked at herself in the mirror.
Ling Long walked up and said,"Miss is really beautiful."”
"I found the reason. Tomorrow, comb my hair into the simplest bun and find me a set of your clothes.”Song Xiaobei looked at herself and Linglong in the mirror and understood what was going on.
The clothes Song Xiaobei wore in the village were too old and did not suit her, so she did not bring them along.
The next day, Song Xiaobei and Ling Long were dressed exactly the same. She left the house happily. When he returned, he was even more depressed.
For the first time, she doubted her own value. Not to mention finding a job, he was even rejected when he wanted to rent a shop.
"Dear, are there many beautiful girls in Beijing?”As soon as Song Xiaobei said that, she immediately thought of Su Xiaoxiang's dignified beauty and Ling Long's peerless beauty. She quickly said,""There's no need to answer. I know a lot. Forget it, I give up." Song Xiaobei didn't dwell on it anymore, and the matter of work was left unsettled.
Exquisite was overjoyed. At some point, he had understood the meaning of "Brother Jinzi". She also wanted to shout,"Brother Jinzi, I like it so much. Brother Yinzi, I like it too." Let's fall in love.
The guards saw that the young miss was in low spirits and wanted to tell her the truth. Seeing that their master was smiling beside the young miss, they decided to let the secret rot in their stomachs.
