"Don't cry …" "It will be fine …" Qiu Xuanling used the handkerchief to wipe her tears. After thinking for a while, he said, "I see that Your Highness really likes Big Sister Yu. In the future, we will move more with Big Sister Yu. Who told us to come from the palace? I will definitely suffer more grievances. "

"Walk with her? When her father impeached my father, he was listed as having committed eleven great crimes. If it wasn't for the empress dowager's interference, allowing my 15 year old elder sister to enter the palace to serve the old emperor, my family would have been executed by now. But look at my elder sister, what kind of fate has she ended up in? He died alone in the palace in just half a year, you don't know … I've seen it before, how miserable it is! The late emperor wanted to live forever. Since the empress dowager had said 'big sister', he took her and tortured her inhumanly … If it wasn't for that old fisherman, how could my sister be in such a miserable state? Look at Yu Yan's complacent look, I wish she could die. " Ye Sujian clenched her fists and said fiercely.

"Elder sister, don't say that!" Qiu Xuanling immediately covered her mouth and looked left and right, saying softly, "I can't say, Your Highness dotes on her …."

Ye Sujian blinked, pulled her hand and whispered: "Little sister, I feel very disappointed, why are we women?"

"Mother gave birth to us because we are women, so we are women." Qiu Xuanling thought about it and said seriously.

"Sigh." Ye Sujian let out a long sigh, plucked a pear petal and placed it in her mouth to chew, then said softly: "They are all women, some of them enjoy wealth, while others have fallen into the mud."

"That's why we have to enjoy wealth and not fall into the mud. We have to endure, who doesn't have to endure?" Qiu Xuanling sat down beside her and gently nestled close to her.

The wind blew in great gusts, the branches shook, and dust clouded people's eyes.

Ye Sujian pinched a leaf and blew on it.

After Qiu Xuanling heard these words, she laughed and whispered, "Deer Seeking Melody …"

She began to sing, her melodious voice gently echoing in the wind, like a deer that had wandered into a forest of pear blossoms, unable to find its way home.

All the women in the world, who was not enduring?

As a woman, she had to endure her husband's three wives and four concubines. She had to abide by the rules of a woman, be it a man or wife, and also husband and wife, and go to court. A woman's fate was like duckweed, how many people would dare to ask for equality between men and women like Yu Yan?

Ye Mingyue rushed to the front of Yu Yan's courtyard, and directly rushed inside.

"Halt." Ah Lang who was wiping his arrows at the side stood up, and extended his hand to stop Ye Mingyue's group.

"Go and report that Madam Mingyue has arrived." The servant immediately walked up and said loudly.

Ah Lang looked at everyone and then walked up the stairs with big steps. He held onto the bronze bracelet on the door and knocked it, saying loudly, "Miss, Madam Mingyue requests an audience."

"What do you mean by 'seek an audience'?" The servant was immediately angered and went up to question Ah Lang.

The Ah Lang ignored her and stood with his back facing the girls.

"What a blockhead, I'm asking you a question." The maidservants looked at each other and ran up the steps to pull him away.

Ah Lang only shook his arm, causing all the girls to scream as they fell. Hearing these ear-piercing screams, Ah Lang only turned his head, glanced at them once, then sat back to his original position to wipe his bow and arrows.

Unlike the other women's residences, there were only two girls in Yu Yan, and only one gatekeeper. The gatekeeper was a man who didn't have to stand, but had a deck chair and a small table with a pot of tea and a porcelain bowl.

Just by looking at it like this, everyone would be able to understand …

At this time, the door slowly opened. Yu Yan walked out slowly with her sleeves held high, looking at Ye Mingyue, she smiled and asked, "Why is Madam Mingyue free to come?"

"What are you doing?" Ye Mingyue couldn't help but ask in shock when she saw that her arms were covered in mud and her sleeves were also stained with mud.

"Oh, Little White didn't listen. He fell into the pond. I just fished it out. Come in." Yu Yan turned his body and called her in.

Ye Mingyue frowned, her hand covering her veil, she slowly walked forward.

After arriving at the small courtyard, he looked around. Even though it was close to Yulixiao's place, the furnishing were far less so than Qiu Xuanling's place. There were four rooms in total, and in the courtyard, there was only a small fish pond and a few flower trees.

Nian An and Nian En's dresses were also drenched, each of them holding onto a wing of the White Peacock as they bowed towards her.

"Lady Mingyue, your blessings."

"Isn't this peacock at the Mysterious Spirit's place?" Ye Mingyue walked closer and asked curiously.

"Yeah, I saw it yesterday in the garden. It's wings were injured, so it brought it back." Yu Yan walked over slowly and squatted down. She untied the cloth on the broken wing of the White Peacock and said softly, "Nian En, bring over the herbs and wrap it well."

Nian En hurried over, then said to Nian An: "Go, make some tea."

Nian An released her hands and quickly ran away.

Ye Mingyue sat down on a chair at the side and watched as Yu Yan caressed the White Peacock's feathers lightly.

"Yu Yan, do you like the Duke?" Ye Mingyue suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Yu Yan turned her head to look at her, and laughed: "Why do you ask, Madam?"

"You just went, why did you leave?" Ye Mingyue stared into her eyes and asked.

"Mm …" I don't want to meet you. " Yu Yan still smiled and said calmly.

"Why?" Ye Mingyue stood up, and quickly walked to her side and asked.

Yu Yan took a light breath and said softly: "Madam's hands are better now, right?"

"Thanks to you, I didn't die." Ye Mingyue's face immediately changed, and said coldly.

"Well, if I had known that the balm could attract such a ferocious bee, I wouldn't have let it fall there." Yu Yan laughed and kneeled down, hugging the White Peacock that was struggling wildly in pain, she gently caressed its wet feathers.

Ye Mingyue frowned, she understood what Yu Yan meant, Chen Yao was not right, but Yu Yan was also wrong, if they lost the ointment, wouldn't they all be in trouble?

Ye Mingyue was the daughter of a merchant and had been raised in a deep room. The only thing she was interested in was the sound of the pipa, she knew that her father's wish was for her to marry a high ranking official of the imperial court. But she did not care, as long as she had the pipa, it was fine. She did not expect to meet Yulixiao, and she actually fell head first into his hands.

She had never been jealous of Chen Yao, but she was actually jealous of him now. How could she be this calm?

"May I come into your room and have a look?" Ye Mingyue looked into the room.

"Go, do as you please." Yu Yan nodded.

At this time, Nian En had already brought the medicine over. Seeing that, he quickly put the herbs down and led Ye Mingyue in.

The room was simple and crude. There was a screen made out of ink. It was very quiet and peaceful. The pear blossom wood imperial bed was a good thing, the wood was hard to come by, in addition to the bookshelves, books were piled high with books.

She walked over, grabbed a book, glanced at it, and said in surprise, "Your master is looking at this?"

Oh, our master only reads two kinds of books, one is the country's code law, the other is the miscellaneous book. Master says that she cannot be on the stage, and can only read idle books, and cannot compare with you, Madam. Nian En hurried over and answered respectfully with a slight bow.

"You're really clever, she has a good girl." Ye Mingyue looked at her and said softly.

"Thank you for your praise, Madam." Nian En bowed again.

"What is this?" Ye Mingyue picked up a branch on the table again and asked curiously.

"The Empress has no business playing with flowers." Nian En looked at the branch and said softly.

"Yu Yan is really a weirdo." Ye Mingyue put down the branch and then took out her needle and said softly: "This is not bad, she made it?"

"Our master can't even get a needle through. This was made by this servant and Nian An." Nian En covered her lips and laughed, then took out a scented bag that Yu Yan had barely made halfway from her basket for her to see, "This Empress has already used half a month.

Ye Mingyue looked at it and asked curiously, "What does she know how to do?"

"Nothing can be done." Yu Yan entered, chuckled and said softly.

"Why does the Prince like you?" Is it because you will wait on him at night? " Ye Mingyue was extremely curious.

Nian En coughed dryly. Yu Yan also felt awkward, Ye Mingyue kept saying that Yulixiao liked her.

"I don't get it." Ye Mingyue sat on the side of the table, stared at her, and said softly: "Big Sister Yao and I have waited on him in the valley for two whole years, and Sister Yao has even waited on him for more than three years.

"Madam Mingyue has misunderstood …" "Perhaps it is because she does not like me …" Yu Yan did not know how to answer.

"Mrs. Yao is here." Nian An shouted from outside.

The two of them turned to look, Chen Yao was also blocked outside by the Ah Lang, and was looking inside.

"She's afraid that I'll hit you, but I won't." Ye Mingyue stood up and stared at Yu Yan: "I love your highness, love him to the bones. I don't mind how many wives he has, but you can't monopolize him and use fox like methods to seduce him. We are all women. Please give us a way out. Otherwise, if you lose your favor in the future, your days will be difficult to bear. "

She was a civilian after all, unlike the other girls from the officials who had deep thoughts. She spoke so straightforwardly, which surprised Yu Yan.

At this time, Chen Yao had already entered. She looked at Yu Yan, went over and held Ye Mingyue's hand, and said softly: "Go back, your health is not well yet."

"Send the two ladies off." Yu Yan asked Nian En to send them out while she stood at the door to watch on her own.

Chen Yao walked into the courtyard and turned to look at her, then said in a soft voice: "Yu Yan, although the prince has fully recovered from his injuries, his injuries back then were truly too severe. Sometimes, you should also advise him not to be too unrestrained, as he is our man after all.

"Madam, please." Nian An was unhappy and shouted softly.

Chen Yao swept a glance at her, and then walked out together with Ye Mingyue.

After the courtyard door closed, Yu Yan slowly turned around. She went to the wardrobe to change into clean clothes, and walked over to the copper mirror and stood there for a long time.

"Empress?" Nian En came in and put away the dirty clothes. "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Whatever." Yu Yan laughed, sat down, and gently combed her long hair.

"Why is the birthmark on his forehead becoming even redder?" Nian En looked down and asked worriedly.

"Is that so?" Yu Yan moved closer to the mirror.

"In this month, the birthmark is much redder than before." Nian En took out the handkerchief and wiped her forehead, and became more worried, "Could she be sick?"
