"I'm sorry!" A deep, pleasant male voice rang out above Cui Xiang's head.

Shiyi bent down, picked up the overturned food box, and handed it to Cuixiang.

Cuixiang then raised her head, about to continue her tirade, when she suddenly froze.

Before her stood a stranger, but an extremely handsome man holding a food box and offering it to her. Although he looked unfamiliar, he was wearing the black servant's uniform of the Prince Yun's mansion, so he must be a new servant in the mansion.

Although he was dressed as a servant, he still exuded a noble aura, especially his sharply defined features, which made Cuixiang unable to look away.

Cuixiang quickly smoothed her hair and said to the man in front of her, "It's alright, it's alright. May I ask your name, brother, and which courtyard you work in? I've never seen you before."

Shiyi paused slightly, then looked at the food box and gestured for Cuixiang to take it back.

Seeing that the servant in front of her probably didn't understand her status in the Yun Prince's Mansion, which was why he was cold to her, Cui Xiang took back the food box and said with a smile.

"You're new here, aren't you? You don't know me yet. You can call me Cuixiang from now on. I'm Consort Shen's head maid, and I usually work at Qiushui Garden. This year—"

"Eleven, who are you talking to? Miss is leaving the manor, so hurry up and bring the carriage to the front gate to wait."

Before Cuixiang could finish introducing her age to Shiyi, she was suddenly interrupted.

When Shiyi turned around, he saw Qing'er. Upon hearing what Qing'er said, his eyes lit up. He nodded to Qing'er, turned around, and quickly left, disappearing into the corridor in no time.

Only then did Cuixiang realize that the person who had interrupted her and Eleven before they could finish their conversation was Qing'er, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

At this moment, Qing'er also realized that the person who had almost clung to Eleven and was flirting with him was none other than the arrogant Cui Xiang.

"Oh, it's Sister Cuixiang! Did you just come from the sheepfold? Why do I smell a pungent odor?"

Don't be fooled by Qing'er's usual crying and dull-wittedness in front of Mu Jin; that's just because there's a comparison. She can still stand on her own in public.

Not to mention that she was a maid from the General's Mansion, and recently she had followed Mu Jin, who had transmigrated from another world, so she had also picked up some of Mu Jin's temperament.

When Cuixiang glared at her resentfully, Qing'er walked over calmly and smiled at Cuixiang.

"Has Sister Cuixiang taken a liking to someone from our Cuizhu Courtyard? Oh my, she's so gentle and considerate, I'm practically drooling! Everyone should see her, tsk tsk tsk, she's even more beautiful than those colorful turkeys!"

Cui Xiang was so angry at Qing'er's words that she almost choked.

Before Cui Xiang could even finish her sentence in her anger, Qing'er continued, "What a pity, even the coachman who drives our princess's carriage wouldn't like someone as flirtatious as you."

After recovering, Cui Xiang laughed sarcastically, "You keep calling her 'Princess Consort,' but everyone has seen how the Prince treats her. Which princess consort was sent to Hanshan Village like that convicted slave? What's there to be so smug about?"

Qing'er turned around and smiled, then slowly said, "Cuixiang, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to gossip about your master's private affairs."

Before Cuixiang could retort, he continued, "Whether she is favored or not, my young lady is at least a principal wife. At the very least, her family is still in the General's Mansion. As for your concubine, she is just a concubine in the end. Her family is still there, but... what about the underworld?"

Qing'er gave her a huge smile and left, humming a tune.

"You!" Cuixiang glared at Qing'er angrily, her lips turning white from biting them, but she could only helplessly watch Qing'er leave gracefully.

In Qiushui Garden, Shen Qianqian was having breakfast with the help of her maid. Guangfu stood beside her, seemingly discussing something with her, when Cuixiang returned with red eyes.

I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Cui Xiang blurted out, "I just ran into Qing'er, who is by the Princess's side, in the outer corridor. She spoke rudely to me, saying that I was influenced by bad company and that I was stupid as a pig. But I can't tolerate her insulting the concubine."

After saying that, she started to sob.

Shen Qianqian put down her porridge bowl and went over to Cuixiang to comfort her, asking, "Why did you argue with her? What did she say?"

Between sobs, Cuixiang said, "She said... she said the concubine was nothing more than a lowly concubine living under someone else's roof, and that the princess was of noble birth, her family in the general's mansion, while the concubine's family was in the underworld!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qianqian's eyes immediately reddened as she glanced at Guangfu, gave an awkward smile, but her delicate hands clenched tightly together in her sleeves.

"Qing'er is right. My family has already passed away. I came here to rely on my cousin. My status is not high enough for the princess. Let's not get close to them anymore. Don't cry."

Cui Xiang looked at Shen Qianqian with a disappointed expression and said coquettishly.

"Consort! How can you boost others' morale while diminishing your own!"

Shen Qianqian forced a smile, while Guangfu, who was standing nearby, felt as if his heart was being torn apart when he heard Cuixiang's words.

He stepped forward and said, "Cuixiang is right. The position of Princess Consort was stolen by Mu Jin. We will take it back one day. Don't be sad..."

When the General and Mu Yan left the capital, they left Mu Jin with a lot of silver. In addition, Su Yi gave her more than 200,000 worth of rare items recently. Now Mu Jin is a wealthy woman who doesn't lack money.

After a few days of doing nothing at the Prince Yun's mansion, Mu Jin felt extremely bored.

Qing'er couldn't stand Mu Jin's behavior, so she suggested that Mu Jin go for a stroll in the streets and recommended the most talked-about theater at the time, "Zui Yue Lou". Mu Jin was feeling bored, and when she heard Qing'er's suggestion, she and Qing'er immediately changed into men's clothing and left Cui Zhu Courtyard.
