Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 057 You Are Not Allowed to Stop Unless I Tell You To

Xie Yun went to Changqiu Palace in person. The two nobles lived here. Originally, they had their own residences, but they were too lonely after entering the palace, so they wanted to ask Yin Ji to live together.

But the unfavored concubines were worse than slaves. They could not even see Yin Ji, let alone ask for mercy. In the end, Xie Yun met them and passed the message on their behalf.

The matter was not difficult to handle, but what Xie Yun saw was a deadly loneliness. She did not dare to think how long she could last if she and the two nobles switched places.

So she had to leave here, even if she would die of malaria in southern Yunnan in the future, she had to leave here.

As for Yin Ji...

She had given him the opportunity to be willful, and it was enough for her to stay by his side for so many years.

The two nobles knew that someone would come, and they had been waiting at the door for a long time. They did not have enough charcoal, and it snowed today, and their cheeks were already red with cold.

Seeing Xie Yun coming, they immediately smiled and came to greet her from a distance: "Oh, why did Aunt Xie Yun come in person?"

Concubine Lin grabbed Xie Yun's hand: "I thought Aunt was busy and didn't come this year."

In previous years, Xie Yun came in person to send off the New Year's blessings because there were only these two concubines in the palace, but this year there were so many more people, and she shouldn't come for both emotional and logical reasons.

But Xie Yun still came.

The two were very surprised and surrounded her to thank her.

Xie Yun didn't respond. She came here mainly to avoid Yin Ji who was angry. Although she also wanted to make their future life less sad, this point was not worth mentioning. She didn't think it was necessary to be thanked for such a small effort.

"The two noble ladies, please accept the reward first."

Concubine Lin and Concubine Zhang knelt down hurriedly. Xie Yun read the list and helped them up: "This year, the emperor showed mercy and rewarded a few baskets of red charcoal and some plain brocade cotton wool in addition to the regulations. If the noble ladies have time, they can make some clothes and quilts to kill time."

The two looked at each other and were a little moved. These things were obviously not rewarded by the emperor. Yin Ji had never looked at them straight, so how could he know that what they lacked was charcoal and cotton clothes?

But the most taboo in this palace is to talk too much, so the two could only hold back their emotions and thank them again.

The palace maid Xiaocao brought tea up. The tea leaves were very ordinary, but Xie Yun still drank most of it. After thanking her, she spoke again: "I heard that Concubine Hui is a lively person. You two might as well go to Jiuhua Palace for a walk when you are free."

This was to point out the way for them.

They were originally people around the queen mother. After they were not liked by Yin Ji, they lost their value. So even if they had a hard life after entering the palace, the queen mother didn't even look at them.

But they still had the label of Changxin Palace on them, and they couldn't find another way out.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "It's not that we haven't been there before. The Doubao girl in Jiuhua Palace didn't let us in, saying that Concubine Hui was resting."

The words were polite, but she disliked them in her heart and didn't want useless people like them to drag Concubine Hui down.

Xie Yun didn't care: "If you can't see her once, go twice. If you can't see her twice, go three times. Compared with the days to come, what is this little face now?"
