Chapter 8.17 – G.o.ddess of the Harem
Shangfu Bureau.
When Yan Yunuo was busy with the work she had on hand, she saw Xu Bingyue stealthily returning from through the back door, still wearing an inner servant’s uniform.
“Bingyue, why did you go?”
Yan Yunuo quickly walked to Xu Bingyue, took her hand and dragged her to a corner, and whispered, “Where on earth have you been? Liao Siyi was still looking for you earlier!”
“What?”
Hearing Yan Yunuo’s words, Xu Bingyue’s face changed: “Sister Yunuo, what should I do? Quickly, save me.”
“Now you know to worry? I’ll help you deal with it. Now, explain what you’re doing dressed like this? Do you not want to live anymore?”
Yan Yunuo looked at Xu Bingyue worriedly. She didn’t care about working in her place, but she was worried about the safety of this sister. After Su Wan’s accident, Yan Yunuo didn’t want anything to happen to the people around her again.
“I……”
Xu Bingyue’s gaze flashed: “I went out to meet a friend. He is in the front palace, so I can only change into the inner servant’s uniform and get in.”
“You – this girl – is so courageous!”
Yan Yunuo shook her head and sighed, then raised her hand and gently patted Xu Bingyue’s shoulder: “Fine, quickly change your clothes before anyone sees!”
“Yes, I got it!”
Xu Bingyue hurried back to her room. When she was changing her clothes, she saw the token that Chen Shengbei gave to her. Her eyes softened and she carefully held the token in the palm of her hand. She felt that the token still seemed to hold Chen Shengbei’s warmth, and Xu Bingyue couldn’t stop herself from blus.h.i.+ng…
Three days later.
When Xu Bingyue came to the north guard camp again, Chen Shengbei had already been waiting for a long time.
“Sister Bingyue, this is my reply to Xiao Wan, and also this.”
Chen Shengbei put a small bag of broken silver on Xu Bingyue’s palm: “These are for your hard work.”
Seeing the silver handed over by Chen Shengbei, Xu Bingyue’s pretty face became cold: “Did Brother Chen treat me as an outsider? I’m Sister’s Su Wan’s good little sister, how can I take Brother Chen’s silver? What kind of person do you think I am?”
“This……”
Seeing Xu Bingyue getting angry, a look of embarra.s.sment also flashed past Chen Shengbei’s handsome face. He has never believed that there will be any true sisterhood in the back palace, but now it seems that the relations.h.i.+p between Xu Bingyue and Su Wan was really good.
Chen Shengbei remembered Su Wan telling him in her reply that she had a few particularly good sisters in the back palace and that Xu Bingyue was one of them.
“Don’t be angry, I was rude. I apologize.”
Chen Shengbei looked at Xu Bingyue apologetically. Seeing that he took the initiative to apologize to her, Xu Bingyue smiled and blinked her pretty eyes: “Forget it, I will forgive you this time! But just this once, okay! ~”
If any other man was in his place, the crisp voice trailing off coquettishly would have already evoked some feelings in them, but unfortunately Chen Shengbei was born slow in the feelings department, so at this time, he did not notice Xu Bingyue’s special intentions towards him……
After coming out of the guard barracks, Xu Bingyue hummed a little song along the way. It seemed to her that Brother Chen was a little closer to her today. She didn’t believe that with her methods, she would lose to Su Wan, who was more dead than alive in the Xinzheku.
The two people can communicate now but can’t see each other. When Su Wan can’t endure anymore in the Xinzheku someday, she can take the opportunity to comfort Big Brother Chen, and what comes after will be as natural as flowing water.
With a happy mood, Xu Bingyue cheerfully returned to the Shangfu Bureau from the back door again. This time she was not seen by anyone. After she returned to her room and changed her clothes, Xu Bingyue carefully took Chen Shengbei’s letter and put it under her pillow. She didn’t have to rush to deliver the letter. It’s fine to let Su Wan wait a few more days, hmph hmph.
After tidying herself up using the reflection from the bronze mirror, Xu Bingyue slowly walked out of the side room where she lived in a water-blue palace dress. The moment she stepped out, she saw Yan Yunuo’s brilliant smile that almost seemed to s.h.i.+ne.
“Sister Yunuo, what happened? Why are you so happy?”
