After Da Yan Xi entered, from now on her affairs will be specially served for Chu Yi Cheng this king. Whatever is related to him, all must be done by her. She has almost become his personal maid.

  Ever since Yan Xijun became the personal maid of Chu Yiceng, no matter where he went, as his maid, she naturally followed him everywhere. When he got out of bed, she had to wait on him by his side. When he ate, she also had to wait on him by his side. Even when he slept, she still had to wait on him by his side.

  What annoyed her the most was that when he went to sleep with his concubine, he also made her wait at the door. Even if she couldn't see, she could still hear, right?

  Although she had experienced this kind of thing before, but hearing the ambiguous voice coming from inside still made her feel embarrassed and blush.

  This makes her feel extremely painful and uncomfortable. It turns out that being a concubine is not as easy as it seems.

  She had long known from rumors that King Jing was a romantic, fond of beauty and color. But she did not expect him to be so romantic. Not only did he want his concubines to attend to him every night, but one was not enough; sometimes he would summon two or three. It was simply more extreme than his brother, Emperor Chu Yixuan.

  It's been more than half a year since Zui Chao Yan Xi waited in the imperial palace. She had never heard of Chu Yi Xuan summoning several concubines to attend him at night before. This time, she was given a new experience.

  Actually, in comparison, Yan Xikun only felt that Chu Yixuan was much better than Chu Yicheng. In the imperial palace, he rarely saw him go to other concubines' places. He either stayed in his own Ganquan Palace or in his own Zhengyang Palace. He didn't have the same lust for beauty as other emperors did.

  It's been so long since I left the palace. This is still the first time I thought of him. I don't know if he's doing well in the imperial palace.

  He should be doing well, after all, he has Yang Qixue by his side. He loves her so much. With her around, he won't feel lonely, will he?

  That great fire will turn the Sweet Spring Palace's Sweet Temple into ashes. Everyone would think they're dead, minus themselves. Probably no one would feel like something is missing. On the contrary, those 'women' in the harem would definitely be very happy. After all, she was once a favored imperial concubine, even if it was deliberately promoted by him.

  "What's on your mind? You little scoundrel. Don't you go in and attend to His Majesty?"

  A sharp, acidic and piercing voice pulled Yan Xijun back to reality. Standing in front of him were three heavily made-up women, the same three women that Chu Yicheng had invited tonight.

  They've all come out. I guess that's the end of it. Just now, I was just lost in thought and didn't notice what was going on inside. Didn't expect it to be over so soon.

  The woman who was just ordered around was none other than the arrogant Rong Furen from the mansion. Taking advantage of King Jing's repeated summoning her to 'serve' him in bed for several months, she became complacent and regarded herself as half a master of the Wang Mansion.

  She thought the future queen's position was hers for sure. So she gradually became arrogant and overbearing.

  These days, she saw the young master bring back this little girl from who-knows-where. Not only is she beautiful and well-behaved, but also deeply favored by the young master. He always keeps her by his side and even lets her be his personal maid. Anyone with discerning eyes can tell that sooner or later, she will become the young master's 'woman'.

  But what Mrs. Rong feared most was that once this girl became the king's concubine, she would still compete with her for the position of queen consort, which would be a disaster. She was afraid that the king would really give the position of queen to her.

  So Mrs. Rong didn't have a good face when she saw Yan Xijun, and she disliked her from the bottom of her heart. She was just afraid that she couldn't compare to her.

  Yan Xijun saw them and instinctively bent her knees to pay her respects, then was about to enter the house when she felt a sense of clarity in her heart. It had been a month since she arrived at the mansion. Not only did Rong Furen envy her, but more than half of the women in the mansion envied her as well. They all thought that she had gotten a good job and was able to serve by Wang Ye's side every day, which was a great blessing.

  If I had a choice, Yan Xijun would rather not have this kind of lousy thing.

  She didn't want to offend others, but there were people who wouldn't let her be at peace, especially Mrs. Rong.

  "Stop right there." Mrs. Rong saw her ignoring herself and got angry in her heart. She looked at her with a cold smile and said, "You cheap girl, I'll tell you something. Don't think that just because you're serving the king now, you can get arrogant. You're not even the king's woman yet. Next time, show some respect."

  "Yes, Mrs. Rong is right." Yan Xijun said respectfully with her head bowed. She just wanted to let the matter drop and didn't want to get further entangled with them. Besides, it's easy to make enemies but hard to resolve the grudge, so why bother making more enemies for herself?

  Being able to live in peace and safety at the King's Palace is her greatest wish now. She doesn't want to get herself involved with those jealous and petty-minded women. The jealousy between women is too terrifying. She has already experienced it once, and she doesn't want to go through it again.

  Mrs. Rong saw that her words had frightened her, and she coldly sneered in her heart. She was just a little maid after all. In the end, she was still afraid of herself. It seemed that her worries were also unnecessary.

  Madam Rong was pleased with herself, a sly smile spreading across her face as she pointed at Yan Xiu Jun's forehead with her bright red index finger: "You know now, that's good. Don't think about being the master. You were born to be a servant girl. So you should do your best to fulfill your duties as a servant girl."

  "Yes. I know."

  "Hmm, then go ahead and take care of things." Madame Rong smiled complacently as she left. One of the other madames followed her out.

  "Yan Niang, don't take her words to heart. Mrs. Rong has always spoken like that." Jing Fu Ren comforted, holding her hand.

  Yan Xijun pulled her hand out of hers and said, "It's getting late, please go back and rest, Madam Jing. I also need to attend to the young master."

  "Okay, I won't bother you then."

  After Madame Jing left, Yan Xikun slowly walked inside. In fact, after such things, she didn't need to 'serve' him much. There were specialized maids and slaves who would help him clean his body. She only went in to hand him a cup of tea for rinsing his mouth and chat with him for a bit.

  After going in, he was already dressed up and had changed into clean clothes. Yan Xijun saw for the first time that someone loved red-colored clothes so much, and it was a man.

  "What are you lingering at the door for tonight?" Chu Yicheng said as he looked at her after she came in.

  Yan Xijun saw him lazily reclining on the 'bed', with his shirt collar not properly adjusted, revealing a large area of skin. She hastily poured hot tea and handed it to him, saying irritably: "It's still those wives of yours who are making things difficult for you."

  "Oh. How did they bully you." Chu Yicheng savored his tea and asked with interest.

  "What else can be difficult? What difficulties are there between masters and servants? You should know best."

  Good. He's been insulted. He's been compared to those 'women'. Since she said he would make things difficult for others, now he'll make things difficult for her to see.

  Chu Yicheng put down the tea in his hand and beckoned to her with a finger: "Come over and help me massage my legs. I'm exhausted from just now."
