Chapter 776: Chapter 776_1

Xiaoqing quickly covered her mouth, looking around to make sure no one is present, she then whispered, "Rest assured, Sister Nan Feng, now that I’m here, I’ll protect you from the contemptible individuals inside."

Nan Feng only nodded in response.

However, when they returned to Siyuan, the repressed side of Xiaoqing’s personality suddenly came bursting out.

"My goodness, Sister Nan Feng, this backyard is so large; this is the first time I’ve ever seen such a huge vegetable garden, not to mention the fruit trees."

"My goodness, Sister Nan Feng, everyone here is male, and you’re the only female..."

Nan Feng quickly stopped her from proceeding, "Xiaoqing, just consider them as good sisters."

"Yes, yes. But Sister Nan Feng, I still think the Emperor is too much. No matter what, he should have assigned a few palace maids to you. Instead, he just threw you in with these eunuchs. If your brother Ye knew about this..."

"Hasn’t he assigned you to come here? After all, what’s the point of him assigning palace maids that I’m not familiar with, I would just think of them as spies from the Emperor."

While Nan Feng was speaking, she gathered the eunuchs outside and introduced Xiaoqing to them.

Xiaoqing grew up with boys since her childhood, so she quickly bonded with the eunuchs after she arrived here.

Nan Feng then arranged for Xiaoqing to share a room with her.

She has been so lonely and having Xiaoqing in the same room with her gave her a sense of security.

When Xiaoqing asked Nan Feng about her future plans, Nan Feng responded, "Of course, I am waiting for Ye to return."

"Wait forever?"

"Yes, always," Nan Feng said, looking at Xiaoqing, "I don’t know whether it was right or wrong for you to come here. I always feel that this palace is full of traps. I’m afraid that one day you’ll suffer with me."

Xiaoqing shook her head, "No problem. I’m just a servant, no matter where. As long as I have food and shelter, that’s enough. Besides, my life is cheap. When Master Dragon gave me to you, he said that my life belongs to you. If you fall into a trap, I’ll jump into it with you."

...

The next day.

Nan Feng took Xiaoqing on a tour of the garden.

"Sister Nan Feng, there are so many beautiful women over there," Xiaoqing pointed to the garden.

Nan Feng quickly slapped Xiaoqing’s hand away, "Don’t point randomly, they’re all the Emperor’s concubines, each and every one of them ranks above me, don’t offend them."

"But, it looks like they’re welcoming you. Look, it seems like they’re all walking towards us."

"There’s a reason," Nan Feng explained the rumors in the palace to Xiaoqing.

"These palace women are really quite bored, they can believe in such things?" Xiaoqing said in surprise.

She was from a small place too, so she had never heard of such things.

Today, Consort Jiang came as well. Since Consort Jiang was the first to approach Nan Feng, and her status is second only to the Dowager Empress, no one dared to contend with her, so they let her approach Nan Feng first.

"Greetings, Consort Jiang," Nan Feng bowed to Consort Jiang.

"You may dispense with the formalities," Consort Jiang smiled. Then looking at Xiaoqing next to Nan Feng, "Oh, who is this?"

"Consort Jiang, this is Xiaoqing, my servant, she came from outside the palace," Nan Feng replied.

"So she was your servant before you entered the palace?" Consort Jiang asked.

"Yes," Nan Feng answered.

A strange expression crept onto Consort Jiang’s face, "The Emperor found her specifically for you, right? So, the Emperor... he’s really kind to you, Lady Nan Feng. Look, you always say that the Emperor only treats you with basic respect, but now he’s even found your old servant for you. You have no idea how difficult it is for a servant to enter the palace."
