Chapter 174 (1/2)

Chapter 8.18 – G.o.ddess of the Harem

Su Wan coming out from Xinzheku was already the best news to Yan Yunuo, but what Yan Yunuo didn’t expect was that Su Wan’s return to the Shangfu Bureau was actually to get her belongings because she had been given the position of being Beauty Yan’s personal maid by His Majesty.

“Everyone will not be together in the future, but you can often go to Jinfangzhai to see me, Beauty Yan will also welcome you.”

Su Wan packed her things in the room while speaking softly to Yan Yunuo with a smile.

In just one night, such a big change took place. Su Wan had come out, Yuqing changed from a palace maid to a little lady.

In the back palace, there were legends and stories every day.

Beauty Yan?

Yan Yunuo still felt unused to such a form of address, but the rules in the back palace were strict and she would have to call her as such when she saw Yan Yuqing again.

At this time, Xu Bingyue’s mood was also very complicated. She had long felt that Yan Yuqing had deep thoughts, unlike Yan Yunuo and Su Wan, who were easy to cheat. But she didn’t expect that that girl would really step over her master to get promoted, flying up to the tip of the branch overnight.

Teh: The double “that” is perfectly acceptable in English grammar and I thought it felt appropriate here

She was quite capable!

However, the Emperor has so many women. Even if she was favored now, can she be favored for a lifetime?

Besides, the Emperor…

Xu Bingyue hasn’t seen yet what His Majesty looked like. But Xu Bingyue couldn’t help but feel sweet feelings when thinking of Chen Shengbei’s appearance in her heart. No one in this world could compare to Brother Chen’s brave and das.h.i.+ng appearance.

Especially the appearance of him wearing his guard uniform with a sword on his waist, just like the peerless heroes written in the picture book she had seen when she was a child.

Unfortunately……

Xu Bingyue’s eyes dimmed and a somewhat complicated gaze swept over Su Wan’s body. Unfortunately, the hero in her heart was her fiance. This world really was unfair.

“Bingyue? Bingyue?”

Su Wan’s voice interrupted Xu Bingyue’s train of thought. It turned out that she was thinking too much at a moment and stared at Su Wan for too long, which caught Su Wan’s attention.

“Bingyue, what are you looking at?”

“Oh, I was….. I was looking… at your jade pendant!” Xu Bingyue pointed to the jade pendant that Su Wan had always carried on her waist. She peeked at Su Wan’s reply to Chen Shengbei that day, so she naturally knew that this jade pendant was a token of their engagement.

“Sister Xiaowan, your jade pendant is very beautiful! Bingyue also likes it very much. Can you tell me where you bought it? I want to buy one too.”

Xu Bingyue stared at Su Wan’s jade pendant with twinkling eyes, her tone genuine and sincere.

“This jade pendant ah.”

Su Wan’s gaze became softer again and her tone became more gentle: “This was what I had on me since I was a child, and it’s a very important….. token.”

“So it was like this! Since it is so valuable, you must keep it well, Sister Xiaowan!”

Xu Bingyue stared at Su Wan’s jade pendant again, noting down the approximate shape of the jade pendant in her heart. She knew that she could not rush it. Even if Su Wan had returned, she still could not marry Chen Shengbei right away because she was in the back palace. She still has a long time to prepare and there will be many opportunities.

Su Wan pretended not to see the emotion in Xu Bingyue’s eyes. She caressed the jade pendant, her eyes revealing a warm, tender smile. The image of her smile was an extreme eyesore to Xu Bingyue……

Jinfangzhai.

When Su Wan came to Jinfangzhai with her belongings, the maids in the palace were cleaning the courtyard.

“Sister Su!”

As soon as Su Wan entered the door, all the inner palace maids stepped forward to pay their respects. The people of the Jinfangzhai had heard in the morning that their master’s personal palace maid was called Su Wan. Although they had never seen Su Wan, she was wearing a sapphire blue palace uniform that symbolized that she was a senior palace maid, which constantly reminded others of her ident.i.ty.

“Everyone has worked hard.”

Su Wan nodded at the people in the yard and then gently asked, “Where is the master? Is she resting?”

“Replying to Sister Su, the master is playing chess in the hall!”

Oh?

Su Wan nodded and ordered a little maid to put her things away, and she quickly walked through the door of Jinfangzhai.

At this time, Yan Yuqing was wearing a bright crimson palace dress and was playing chess with a little palace maid.
