Luo Peiyu: ...That's terrifying, isn't it?
Can anyone tell her why a princess can wield so much power?
He Lianjue, as the master of the house, didn't see anything wrong with keeping a private army of five hundred men.
Luo Peiyu suddenly realized that she and her sisters had underestimated Xie Shi.
Zhao Jinxiu was right; the eight beauties, including Luo Peiyu, were indeed unwilling to accept defeat.
How could they possibly be willing to accept this?
Being a prince's concubine, while not a noble position, certainly brought real benefits.
They lived in fine clothes and enjoyed a life of wealth and comfort.
They no longer had to worry about being bullied at will, nor did they have to worry about dying silently in the inner palace for offending some noble person.
All they had to do was serve the King of Yue well, and if they were lucky enough to give birth to a son or daughter, they could completely change their lowly fate!
If it weren't for defying fate, why would they have gone alone to Lingnan, a place feared by everyone?
On their long journey, Luo Peiyu and her companions had plenty of time to consider their options.
For example, how will the Princess of Yue treat them after they arrive in Yuezhou?
The most basic tactic is to simply show your face and openly tell everyone that she dislikes these vixens who try to seduce her husband.
A mid-level tactic involves feigning kindness while exploiting loopholes in the text to deliberately place them elsewhere to "serve" the King of Yue, rather than having them personally attend to him.
The most sophisticated tactic would be to bring them all into the backyard, throw out a lure, and incite them to fight amongst themselves.
As for her, the princess, she only needed to sit back and watch the tigers fight, letting Luo Peiyu and the others suffer injuries on all sides.
Therefore, when they finally arrived at the Yue King's residence, Princess Xie of Yue said that they were not surprised at all that they were asked to work at some academy or medical clinic.
I knew it all along.
Some of them were even secretly pleased: Princess Xie is nothing special.
Among the various ways wives dealt with concubines, Princess Xie chose a moderate approach, neither too aggressive nor too passive.
Not too stupid, but not too clever either!
Luo Peiyu and the others were prepared. They pretended to struggle for a while, and then happened to run into an acquaintance, Zheng Yurong, before agreeing.
Luo Peiyu and her group had a simple idea: they would first show compliance, and then, after they had gradually gained a foothold in the Prince Yue's mansion and secretly built up a network of connections, they would make further plans.
However, Zhao Jinxiu's words extinguished the raging fire burning in Luo Peiyu's heart.
She never dreamed that Xie, the Princess Consort of Yue, was not one of those ordinary noblewomen.
Her status in the Yue King's mansion was in no way inferior to that of the Yue King himself.
She has a private army, and her husband trusts her completely. If anyone tries to play tricks, tsk tsk, Xie Shi doesn't even need to lift a finger; her female soldiers would probably take that person's life!
In Lingnan, it's incredibly easy to make someone die silently.
"...Never mind, I'd better just listen to the princess and be a good teacher!"
Luo Peiyu was somewhat desperate.
But she had already come to Lingnan. Even if she couldn't become the King of Yue's concubine, she still had to find a way to survive.
Moreover, she wanted to live a good life!
Hmm, this Zhao Jinxiu in front of me even has the tattoos that exiles have on their faces, yet she seems to be doing quite well.
Perhaps, becoming a teacher isn't entirely without hope.
Luo Peiyu tried her best to comfort herself.
When it was time for class, she mustered up her courage and stepped into the classroom, which was full of students.
She stood on the podium, looking down at the students with exceptional clarity.
As Zhao Jinxiu had said, the students were both boys and girls.
There are more boys, about thirty.
There were only five women.
However, with five female students, the atmosphere in the classroom changed completely.
The male students varied in age, but they were all quite robust, some even sporting beards, looking like strong, powerful, and domineering warriors.
In any other situation, Luo Peiyu would not have dared to share a room with so many martial artists.
But in the classroom, when she stood on the podium and scanned the room, she found that those crude soldiers had no lewdness or greed in their eyes.
There wasn't even a hint of frivolity in it.
They only have respect for teachers and for knowledge!
respect!
Once a wealthy heiress, now fallen from grace, she finds herself respected by a group of men.
Luo Peiyu had to admit that at that moment, her soul was deeply shaken.
It seems that something has changed.
Not only Luo Peiyu, but the other beauties, whether in the academy or the clinic, all went through the same psychological process.
Gradually, they stopped fantasizing about changing their fate by relying on men, and began to settle down and rely on themselves in a down-to-earth manner.
Teaching, saving lives.
A slender, petite figure moved among the strong and powerful soldiers.
They were not looked down upon or harassed; instead, they received gratitude and respect they had never received before.
"Life like this is actually pretty good!"
"Yes, Princess Xie is truly a remarkable woman!"
"...Suddenly I feel a bit of admiration for her."
"Stop talking, go to sleep, you'll be busy tomorrow."
Every day is busy and fulfilling, and very meaningful.
The eight beauties fully integrated into the Yue King's mansion and began to establish themselves on their own merits.
Xie Yuan disposed of the beauty bestowed by the emperor "on his own initiative," but she did not act too presumptuously.
When she wrote to Helian Jue, she casually mentioned it.
She never forgot that her relationship with Helian Jue was more than just that of husband and wife.
Even married couples should be mindful of boundaries.
There are some things that Helian Jue doesn't really care about, but Xie Yuan can't act too presumptuously.
Just like those beauties, Helian Jue could choose not to have them, but Xie Yuan couldn't make arrangements for Helian Jue.
Now, Xie Yuan can exploit a loophole—Helian Jue is not here, and she is indeed short-handed.
However, while loopholes can be exploited, they cannot be left unrepaired.
Xie Yuan's solution was to write a letter to Helian Jue afterward.
Helian Jue: ...What beauty? She's clearly a spy sent by the Emperor!
My husband, Yuan, is the most reliable. He makes the best use of everyone and gets these people to work!
"Well done!"
Helian Jue couldn't think of a better word than these four characters.
In his letter to Helian Jue, Xie Yuan also mentioned Xie Rou—who was the concubine of the King of Yue, appointed by the emperor.
Xie Yuan's treatment of Xie Rou was not as direct as his treatment of the other eight beauties.
"Wait for me to come back!"
Helian Jue's reply was simple and direct.
He knew Xie Yuan's predicament, and Xie Rou's matter was a humiliation that Helian Jue had suffered in the past, which he needed to resolve personally.
Xie Yuan received Helian Jue's reply and was completely relieved.
Everything depends on the prince's return!
