"How long did it take you?" Ouyang Yue asked, her voice slightly agitated.
“Well… I started looking for people to build it after I came back from Tianshan. It was finished half a month ago.” Baili Chen answered seriously. Ouyang Yue opened her mouth and couldn’t help but say, “Why did you do this?” But she was a little excited. Tianshan actually had different meanings for the two of them.
For Ouyang Yue, this trip to Tianshan was actually the beginning of her struggle and her willingness to take her relationship with Baili Chen further. It was the beginning of her falling in love. For Baili Chen, this was the place where Ouyang Yue was willing to give up everything to follow her, the place that saved his life, the place where they lived together, and the place where they had many beautiful memories. These were things that could touch both of their souls and move them both, but of course, they were different.
Baili Chen shook his head: "No, I know in my heart whether it's hard or not. To be honest, I only had to say a few words. Everything here was done by people. I didn't have to do anything. I originally wanted to let you see this surprise earlier, but there was no opportunity. Well, I think it's better to let you see it after your coming-of-age ceremony. Do you like it?"
Ouyang Yue suddenly laughed, "What do you think?" But her eyes were a little red. She was thinking about the little things she and Baili Chen had done living in Tianshan. Although life there was very simple, it was precisely this simplicity that left the deepest impression on them. There, they didn't have to face any conspiracies or schemes; all they had was simple, carefree joy. There, they even became neighbors with wild wolves, roasting game for them when they had nothing to do, listening to their indistinct wolf howls. Sometimes she and Baili Chen would stand guard by the cold pool for a day or two, sometimes even several days, making the sky their bed. Sometimes they would lie on the ground together watching the stars. Ouyang Yue told Baili Chen about the various constellations of Tianshan. The latter was quick to learn new knowledge, and later the two often looked at the sky and counted the stars. But two years had passed since they returned, and she had gradually forgotten about that place. In the capital, she simply didn't dare to think about that kind of life. If she dared to think about it, she probably wouldn't even know when she died.
"Do you like it?" Baili Chen's soft voice sounded in her ear, and Ouyang Yue's heart skipped a beat, because Baili Chen's kiss was already gently approaching, lingering on her lips, making Ouyang Yue's heart pound even more violently. She felt a pair of strong arms encircling her waist, tightly, tightly, and she couldn't help but let out a choking sound like a sob. Her eyes reddened more and more, whether from affection or emotion. Baili Chen's kiss was a gradual and progressive one, and from the beginning, he had never thought of giving Ouyang Yue any chance to escape, and Ouyang Yue had no intention of escaping now.
"Mmm..." A soft panting sound echoed in Baili Chen's ears. He stiffened and saw that Ouyang Yue had already leaned gently against his chest, breathing softly. Her red lips, which he had attacked, were as red as cherry blossoms, full and alluring. Her lips were slightly parted, and he could even see her equally red tongue trembling occasionally. The sound of his heart beating was almost about to burst out of his body.
"Damn it!" But Baili Chen cursed under his breath, as if roaring, and lowered his head to bite Ouyang Yue's lips. Ouyang Yue cried out softly, but Baili Chen swallowed her sob: "It hurts...don't..."
As Baili Chen continued to ravage her lips, Ouyang Yue's voice gradually became uncontrollable. If it were before, she would have scoffed at the idea of her making such a sound. She couldn't believe it, but at this moment, it was just like that. She was even overwhelmed with emotion. Baili Chen's gift was truly precious and had taken a lot of thought. His gift was more valuable than anyone else's. Even if it looked less valuable than a piece of clothing or an ornament, it had completely touched Ouyang Yue's heart. She wouldn't trade it for any treasure she had.
"Chen..."
Baili Chen stiffened, staring at Ouyang Yue with a stiff expression. At this moment, Ouyang Yue also abandoned her reserve and actually stuck out her tongue to gently lick and kiss Baili Chen's neck, ears, and lips. Her technique was not familiar and carried a hint of exploration, but it made Baili Chen's heart almost melt: "Yue'er, my Yue'er, you are mine, you will always be mine."
“Hmm.” In the past, Ouyang Yue wouldn’t have said that, but now she responded softly.
"Awooo!" Baili Chen roared, his body suddenly stiffening violently. He lowered his head and bit down hard on Ouyang Yue's neck. Then his body trembled violently, and he hugged Ouyang Yue tightly as if he wanted to strangle her. However, Ouyang Yue's body was just as stiff as Baili Chen's. It would be strange if she felt the abnormality in Baili Chen's body.
Ouyang Yue encouraged herself, knowing that this day would come sooner or later. She was truly moved today. If Baili Chen had said he wanted to take her here, she probably wouldn't have refused. However, Baili Chen held her tightly for a long time, then took a deep breath and let her go. Ouyang Yue blinked, about to speak, but when she saw the intense affection in Baili Chen's eyes, she couldn't utter a single word.
Baili Chen took a deep breath: "Don't say anything, don't test my patience. I really hate that I made a promise to you. If I hadn't said it, I could have followed my heart right now and taken you right here!"
Ouyang Yue's heart skipped a beat. She gently pursed her lips and lowered her eyes slightly: "It's possible..."
"No! I want it on our wedding day. I can have you now, but that would cause you a lot of trouble. I can't do that." Baili Chen looked at Ouyang Yue seriously, but he couldn't help himself and opened his mouth to bite Ouyang Yue's face, lips, nose, neck, and ears. Ouyang Yue could feel the burning desire in Baili Chen's heart. "I... I have other ways to help you."
"Don't go! Don't play with fire!" Baili Chen shouted angrily. Ouyang Yue immediately stopped moving, but she felt that Baili Chen's lips had some kind of magic, constantly setting fire to her body wherever they touched, a fire that she could not extinguish. In the end, she remembered collapsing onto Baili Chen and then falling into the grass. Baili Chen lingered on Ouyang Yue's neck, not going any deeper, but after a long time, he let out a low roar of extreme dissatisfaction, and then lay still on top of Ouyang Yue.
"Are you alright?" Ouyang Yue couldn't help but ask.
Baili Chen remained silent. Ouyang Yue looked at him with a puzzled expression, her heart skipping a beat. At this moment, Baili Chen's eyes were very red, looking at her with a fiery intensity: "It's alright, I can still hold back." Then he whispered in Ouyang Yue's ear, "It's just that all I can think about right now is how to possess you. Don't move now, or I definitely won't be able to hold back."
Ouyang Yue opened her mouth slightly, then closed it tightly, and her eyes closed as well, preparing to play dead. She had indeed been prepared to lose her virginity, but Baili Chen's refusal made her realize that now was not the time. Their wedding was imminent, and there was no need to rush. However, men's bodies sometimes defied their understanding; many things were caused by their physical impulses. So, even if they remained in a stalemate, she would wait until Baili Chen's manhood subsided before proceeding; it was far too dangerous now.
After an unknown amount of time, Ouyang Yue felt a slight pain in her chest from the weight. Suddenly, she felt a lightness on her body as Baili Chen turned and lay down on the grass. His eyes remained fixed on Ouyang Yue, making her feel uneasy. Baili Chen then pulled her into his arms, causing her to roll over and fall into his embrace. The sight of his strong body and the way he gently wrapped his arms around her stirred a feeling in Ouyang Yue. She didn't speak, simply nestled quietly in Baili Chen's arms.
The moon was high in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly; it was a beautiful sight.
"I never knew the night view was so beautiful," Baili Chen said with a sigh. Ouyang Yue was taken aback. Had he never seen the starry sky at night before? How could this be after living here for so long?
However, seeing the look of realization on Baili Chen's face, Ouyang Yue knew that he was not lying. He really hadn't seen it. But why?
Ouyang Yue didn't ask. They would have plenty of time in the future, so there was no rush. Besides, even if she did ask, Baili Chen might not tell her. She wasn't one to force people, and he would tell her when he was willing. For now, she should just enjoy this moment of peace.
As Ouyang Yue was watching, she felt something pressing against her from behind. She struggled to sit up. Baili Chen said nothing, his face beaming with a malicious, smug, and even irritating smile. Ouyang Yue blushed and glared at him, but the more she looked, the brighter his expression became. Ouyang Yue simply glanced at him and ignored him.
Baili Chen coughed lightly and said, "This will be our secret rendezvous place from now on."
Ouyang Yue couldn't help but say, "Where would you find a rendezvous in the wild like this? I wasn't stolen by you."
"No, you are a treasure I stole, a treasure I stole by accident." Baili Chen looked very proud, but his voice was full of confidence. Ouyang Yue didn't want to talk about this with him because she didn't want to discuss it at all. She felt that she was about to lose.
The two sat in the cave for a while and looked at the starry sky. Then Baili Chen escorted Ouyang Yue back to the princess's residence and immediately returned as well. Ouyang Yue lay down on the bed, feeling somewhat dazed, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Ouyang Yue got up and dressed as usual, then went to pay her respects to Princess Shuangxue. She dined with Princess Shuangxia and Xuanyuan Chaohua. Just as they put down their chopsticks and were about to chat, a servant came in and said, "Little Princess, there is a woman outside named happy Mama who requests to see you."
“Mama Xi, what brings her to see me? Please come in.” Then she turned to Princess Shuangxia and Xuanyuan Chaohua and said, “Grandmother, this Mama Xi took good care of me when she was in the General’s Mansion. She is also the General’s Mansion’s personal maid.”
Princess Shuangxia nodded. At this moment, Madam Xi, dressed in a dark brown robe, walked over with very steady steps. Xuan Yuan Chaohua was slightly taken aback when he saw her. This old woman was quite remarkable. Her hair was neatly combed, her eyes were very bright, and she looked shrewd and capable. Especially the way she walked. With his years of martial arts experience, he could tell that Madam Xi was skilled in martial arts, and not just any martial arts. At least she should be stronger than ordinary self-defense martial arts. This made him curious. Was this old woman brought in by Old Madam Ning from the Ning family? She had been with Old Madam Ning for so many years. Could it be that the Ning family trained her to protect Old Madam Ning?
"This servant greets Princess Shuangxia, Princess Mingyue, and General Xuanyuan." Mama Xi bowed deeply, and Princess Shuangxia waved her hand, saying, "Rise."
"Thank you, Princess." After saying this, Madam Xi stood aside.
Ouyang Yue said, "What brings you here today, Aunt Xi?"
Madam Xi looked at Ouyang Yue and fell silent. Princess Shuangxia understood immediately and said to Ouyang Yue with a smile, "Alright, you can go back now. You don't need to stay here."
Ouyang Yue immediately stood up and bowed to Princess Shuangxia, saying, "Yes, Grandmother." However, she had some doubts in her heart. "Mama Xi, come along."
"yes."
Xuanyuan Chaohua frowned slightly as he looked at Granny Xi and said to the attendant beside him, "Keep an eye on this old woman and see what she's up to. If she's found to be harmful to Yue'er, kill her without reporting back."
"Yes, Master."
Bringing happy Mama to Liuyun Pavilion, Ouyang Yue dismissed all the servants except Chuncao. happy Mama knelt on the ground and remained silent. Ouyang Yue looked at happy Mama for a while before saying, "What is it? happy Mama, just tell me."
Madam Xi looked up at Ouyang Yue and said, "This servant begs the princess to take me in?"
"Take her in?!" Ouyang Yue was taken aback. This Granny Xi was an old servant of Old Madam Ning, someone who had always been very influential and had a good personality, rarely offending anyone. She was a person of status and influence in the General's Mansion, and quite adept at interpersonal relationships. Even now that Old Madam Ning was dead, her position in the General's Mansion wouldn't be greatly affected. In fact, because of Old Madam Ning's death and the fact that Granny Xi had stayed by Old Madam Ning's side for so long without getting married, Ouyang Zhide wouldn't make things difficult for Granny Xi; in fact, he would be very friendly to her. Could it be…?
"Isn't happy Mama living a good life in the General's Mansion?" Now, the General's Mansion is completely managed by Concubine Liu. Originally, Old Madam Ning had planned to elevate Concubine Liu, but because she died too suddenly, this matter became difficult to handle. Elevating her to the status of the principal wife would also require a banquet. Ouyang Zhide naturally couldn't do it openly at this time, but firstly, he had a very good impression of Concubine Liu, and secondly, this was Old Madam Ning's wish before her death, so as her son, he would naturally try his best to fulfill it.
It's very likely that Consort Liu is now in complete control of the General's Mansion. Could it be that as soon as Old Madam Ning died, Consort Liu has already shown her true colors and started targeting the elderly?
Seeing Ouyang Yue's expression, Mama Xi immediately said, "It's not what Princess Mingyue thinks. I left the General's Mansion on my own initiative, wanting to follow Princess Mingyue from now on."
"Oh, what does this mean?"
Madam Xi looked at Ouyang Yue, but her eyes flickered: "This is the master's order."
"Master? Who is your master!" Ouyang Yue exclaimed in surprise. This person actually had another master, no, another real master. Old Ning was not the person that Xi Mama served wholeheartedly at all. Xi Mama was originally Old Ning's personal maid when she was in the Ning Mansion. She had been by Old Ning's side for at least thirty or forty years. Who would go to such lengths? Moreover, according to what she said, Xi Mama had always been very attentive and caring towards Old Ning. Ouyang Yue really couldn't accept the idea that she was a spy.
Madam Xi's eyes flickered: "Your Highness, you know my master, and he would never harm you."
Ouyang Yue's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her, but could it be true? Their lifespans were all different.
Just then, a servant outside announced: "Your Highness, Miss Dongxue has suddenly requested an audience outside the door, saying she wants to see you."
"What? Dongxue is here too." Ouyang Yue couldn't help but think to herself. What kind of day is this? These two actually came to see her together. But she still said, "Bring her in."
A moment later, Dongxue walked in dressed in a black outfit. Chuncao's eyes reddened as she looked at Dongxue, and she was somewhat excited. After all, she had spent a long time with Dongxue. Although Dongxue was a bit aloof and didn't talk much, there was still affection between them. Dongxue looked at Chuncao, and her eyes warmed for once, but then she turned her head away and knelt on the ground with a "plop": "Dongxue greets Master."
"Master? What do you mean by that!" Ouyang Yue raised an eyebrow.
Dongxue looked up and said seriously, "Reporting to Master, Dongxue has just received a mission from the organization, which is to permanently protect Master's safety. As long as Master agrees, Dongxue's life will belong to Master from now on, and everything will be done according to Master's orders."
"This is a protection mission, my life is at stake. What's going on here? Explain yourself."
Dongxue slowly said, "Reporting to Master, the organization has already issued a mission. From the moment this mission begins, I am now your person, and everything belongs to you. From now on, I will only obey your orders. The mark of the First Killing Alliance has been cut off from me."
Ouyang Yue frowned and said, "But you still accepted the mission from the First Killing Alliance. How can I trust you?"
“Reporting to my lord, the First Assassin Alliance has never failed a mission. Regardless of difficulty, everyone in the organization will risk their lives to complete it. Dongxue's last mission in this life is to protect my lord's safety and to undertake a mission directly assigned outside the organization. Therefore, Princess, you are now Dongxue's only master, and Dongxue has no connection to the organization anymore.” Ouyang Yue didn't speak, only frowned as she looked at Dongxue. Her words seemed abrupt and unrelated, but Ouyang Yue understood the meaning behind Dongxue's statement.
The First Assassin Alliance is obligated to complete every mission they receive. The mission's initiator tasked Dongxue with protecting him for life. For this reason, Dongxue has successfully left the First Assassin Alliance. Since this is a lifelong mission, Dongxue can no longer belong to the First Assassin Alliance. When carrying out missions, the priority should be the person being protected. If the First Assassin Alliance interferes, it would affect the case handlers. Furthermore, if the First Assassin Alliance gives instructions, should the case handlers listen to the First Assassin Alliance or the case handlers? What if there is a conflict between the two sides?
Therefore, when Dongxue accepted the mission to protect Ouyang Yue, she did not contact the First Killing Alliance at all. However, this time, her mission is to protect Ouyang Yue forever, so naturally she has to sever ties with the First Killing Alliance in order to better protect Ouyang Yue and avoid being controlled by the First Killing Alliance.
Ouyang Yue looked at Dongxue and fell silent. Chuncao looked at Ouyang Yue with some anticipation, as did Dongxue. Chuncao knew a lot about Dongxue's situation. Although she couldn't understand Dongxue's actions at first, she was moved by Dongxue's sincerity. Moreover, Dongxue's dedicated care for her over the past period had also touched Chuncao deeply. Now that Dongxue was by her side to take care of Ouyang Yue, she felt like a fish in water and was naturally full of anticipation.
“But I cannot keep you here, because I cannot determine the credibility of your words,” Ouyang Yue said slowly.
Everyone in the room was stunned. They hadn't expected Ouyang Yue to refuse. Dongxue had been by her side for so long, and they thought she would be very happy to welcome her back. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
Dongxue was also taken aback and couldn't help but say, "Master, why? Dongxue will do everything in her power to protect your safety and will never have any disloyal intentions."
Ouyang Yue looked at Dongxue calmly, which startled Dongxue. She suddenly reached out and pulled open her clothes. Chuncao was stunned and exclaimed, "Dongxue, what are you doing?"
However, Dongxue had already taken off her clothes and turned around. The three people in the room gasped. Dongxue's entire fair back was covered with crisscrossing scars, which were still bright red and were probably fresh wounds. Her once beautiful back was ruined by these scars, and almost a third of her back was covered with these ugly scars. Ouyang Yue's expression changed: "Is this the proof you mentioned of leaving the organization?"
"Yes!" Dongxue replied earnestly.
Ouyang Yue's heart skipped a beat. Because of her past life's work, she knew that some special organizations would have their members tattooed with unique symbols, whether through perming or other methods. These symbols were often part of their organization's identity, especially in this era. And Dong Xue, as a woman, was incredibly ruthless. Dong Xue's actions were already ruining her future. This act declared that she would never marry. No one wants their wife to have scars like centipedes crawling all over her body, destroying a third of her skin. Women love beauty, and even the smallest damage is a source of worry. Dong Xue's actions certainly showed her sincerity.
Ouyang Yue fell silent. Dongxue's expression was tense. Through her interactions with Ouyang Yue, she understood that her master was a very resolute person. If she was serious about something, it was incredibly difficult to change her mind. And if she showed even the slightest distrust, it was hard to stay by her side for long. That's why she was so nervous, even more so than when she took on life-or-death missions. It turned out that after Ouyang Yue sent Dongxue away, she didn't immediately return to the organization. Instead, she stayed at an inn in the capital for five days before leaving. During those five days, she had been pondering a question: should she really leave like that? Undeniably, she had developed feelings for Ouyang Yue—a master-servant bond. Ouyang Yue could be domineering and ruthless towards enemies, but she was also incredibly kind to her own people, especially protective of them. Dongxue unconsciously compared Ouyang Yue to the organization. Could that organization, which had helped her grow but also gradually made her cold-blooded and ruthless, be compared to this woman? The answer was definitely yes.
As a member of the organization, she knew all too well how sinful it was to betray it. But she was fed up with living on the edge of death every day. Even seeing her master with a group of scheming women felt much better than being in the organization. In the organization, they were experts who had grown up through killing; they were all cold-blooded animals. She felt no sense of belonging there. So even though she had thought about what would happen if she went back, Dongxue made the decision. She applied to leave the organization and come to Ouyang Yue's side.
She didn't expect the organization to agree so readily, but it destroyed her organizational mark. However, that didn't matter to her at all. From the moment she joined the organization, she never thought about living a normal life or getting married, so destroying her back was nothing. When the wound was almost healed, she had already set off to come over. But why couldn't her master accept her?
Ouyang Yue gave Dongxue a deep look, then looked at Mama Xi: "Mama Xi, what I hate most is betrayal. Given Mama Xi's behavior, do you think I would accept you?"
Madam Xi remained calm and simply said, "From the beginning, I have never belonged to Old Madam Ning. I come from the Bai family."
"The Bai family, the Bai family that is the fifth of the five great families?" Ouyang Yue was taken aback.
Madam Xi nodded and said, "That's right, I was the spy that the Bai family planted in the Ning family back then."
Ouyang Yue was shocked. The Bai family, the most inconspicuous of the five great families, actually had the ability to arrange for Mama Xi to be in the Ning family all these years without anyone noticing. This was truly...
Mama Xi said, "I was specially trained since I was a child. After entering the Ning Mansion, I came to the side of the most favored young lady in the Ning Mansion at that time. As a result, I learned a lot of information. Not long after, I was valued by the young lady, who was also the old lady. Then she took me with her to the General's Mansion, where I have been staying ever since."
Ouyang Yue squinted and said, "Oh, what was the task the Bai family gave you back then?"
Madam Xi replied earnestly, "At that time, my task was simply to keep an eye on the Ning family and the old lady, and then pass on some messages. Over the years, the Bai family has never issued any decrees."
“Oh, then how can I trust your madam Xi?” Ouyang Yue laughed. “But I am curious, who exactly is your master?”
Madam Xi's eyes lit up and she said, "This servant's current organization is the Seventh Prince."
...
A silence fell over the room. Spring Grass and Winter Snow stared wide-eyed, while Ouyang Yue squinted. In truth, she had a vague idea. Ever since Mama Xi mentioned that she was from the Bai family, she had considered this possibility. The Bai family was the maternal family of the former Empress, the mother of the current Third Prince Baili Zhi and Seventh Prince Baili Chen. Due to the death of the former Empress, the Bai family had been declining and was now ranked last among the five great families. If it weren't for the fact that they were still giving the former Empress some face, the Bai family would have long been swallowed up or surpassed by other families. Even so, the Bai family's strength was still far greater than that of the previous dynasties.
The Bai family mansion, which had almost disappeared from everyone's sight, suddenly reappeared—no, it reappeared right in front of her. This showed that the Bai family mansion was far more complex than outsiders thought. Even before Baili Chen was born, this madam Xi had already been arranged to enter the Ning family mansion, which also demonstrated the power of the Bai family mansion at that time. Ouyang Yue couldn't help but ask, "Then who was your original master?"
Madam Xi's face showed a look of longing and admiration: "It's the Empress, the former Empress."
Ouyang Yue's heart skipped a beat. This former Empress... She looked intently at Mama Xi. Mama Xi meant that although she came from the Bai family, her former masters were the former Empress and Baili Chen, indicating true loyalty. She wouldn't be foolish enough to harm someone Baili Chen loved or cared about, so she would undoubtedly be equally loyal to Ouyang Yue. In truth, if Mama Xi were from the Bai family and not the former Empress's person, Ouyang Yue wouldn't have felt at ease. However, this situation made Ouyang Yue consider keeping Mama Xi around.
Back in the General's Mansion, she noticed that Madam Xi often helped her, intentionally or unintentionally, and had even saved Ouyang Yue. Due to various reasons, Ouyang Yue did have a good impression of Madam Xi. Moreover, Madam Xi had served Old Ning Shi for many years with all her heart and soul. She had also witnessed Madam Xi serving Old Ning Shi, and it wasn't all out of a mission. She was a kind and righteous person.
"Very well, you can stay here for now." Ouyang Yue didn't give an absolute yes, but Dongxue and happy Mama knew that Ouyang Yue had approved of them, but still needed to observe them for a while. They immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.
Summer has arrived, and the wedding of Ouyang Yue and Baili Chen is scheduled for early autumn. In the days to come, both the royal family and the princess's residence are very concerned about the wedding of the seventh prince, Baili Chen, and Ouyang Yue. This important event for the seventh prince has attracted much attention in the court and among the common people.
Half a month before the wedding, Bai Lichen's Prince Chen's mansion had already been decorated. On this day, Leng Sha and the chief steward Bai Heng came to see Ouyang Yue.
Inside Liuyun Pavilion, Ouyang Yue sat on a high seat, while Leng Sha and Bai Heng stood in front of the hall. The two immediately bowed and said, "Your subordinates/servants greet Princess Mingyue."
"Get up. What brings you here today?" Ouyang Yue asked directly, without further ado.
Bai Heng was a rather handsome, refined middle-aged man, though his appearance was somewhat ordinary. His smile, however, was quite appropriate. He respectfully replied, "Princess Mingyue, this servant was ordered by the Seventh Prince to compile a list of the personnel, courtyards, and some important matters of the Chen Prince's residence for your review. The Seventh Prince instructed that if Princess Mingyue finds anything inappropriate, please speak up first, and he will send someone to handle it." As he spoke, Bai Heng couldn't help but scrutinize Ouyang Yue. He was actually quite curious about this Princess Mingyue. As the Grand Steward of the Chen Prince's residence, he naturally knew how much the Seventh Prince valued her, and today he saw that she was indeed exceptionally beautiful.
"Oh, it was ordered by the Seventh Prince. Let me take a look." Bai Heng immediately responded, handing over the roster, and added, "This roster mainly shows the personnel changes of the Chen Prince's Mansion, as well as several important courtyards. The Seventh Prince was worried that Princess Mingyue might not be familiar with them, so he wanted her to familiarize herself with them first. I am quite familiar with these servants. If there is anything you have any questions about, Princess Mingyue, please tell me directly, and I will do my best to answer your questions."
Ouyang Yue nodded, her eyes curving into a smile. The Chen Prince's Mansion had a large number of people when it was first built, so not all of them were old servants whom Baili Chen had worked with. Baili Chen's actions were to let her get familiar with the place first, so that when she married into the Chen Prince's Mansion, she wouldn't be looked down upon or laughed at by some servants because she was unfamiliar with the place, or even bullied by some powerful servants. Of course, this possibility was extremely small, but Baili Chen was just in case and was thinking of her in every way.
Ouyang Yue lowered her head and opened the register. The register initially listed the main courtyards of the Chen Prince's Mansion, such as the main courtyard, guest courtyard, and kitchen, as well as several important scenic spots and roads within the mansion. The register was very detailed, but Ouyang Yue read it quickly, a slight smile playing on her lips. This Baili Chen is truly meticulous. She then looked at the list of personnel in the Chen Prince's Mansion. Having just turned a page, Ouyang Yue stopped, a strange expression appearing on her pale face, which she quickly concealed.
