Chapter 9: Disfigured Palace Maid vs. Cold-blooded Emperor
Yu Yao did not notice the shock of the men in black. She got on the carriage and smiled faintly at Ye Beichen, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Respectful and reserved.

The carriage is spacious and has a pleasant light pine scent, which is fresh and natural, like the moist air after the rain, making you feel relaxed and happy.

Ye Beichen raised his eyes slightly, caught a glimpse of her reserved look, and curled his lips lightly, "Sit down, don't be reserved."

Yu Yao sat upright on the left side of the carriage, with her head slightly lowered, secretly glancing at Ye Beichen.

I thought to myself: You are the supreme ruler, the emperor of the Daye Dynasty, and I am just a lowly palace maid. How could I not feel awkward riding in the same carriage with you?

Ye Beichen glanced over and saw her frowning, wrinkling her nose, the corners of her mouth moving silently, and a look of great interest in her eyes.

This woman was plotting against him in her mind.

He took a glance, then looked away and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage started slowly and soon drove into the main street of the capital, heading towards the imperial palace.

Half an hour later!
The carriage entered the palace and finally stopped on the left side of Shenwu Gate.

The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Ye Beichen got off first.

Yu Yao followed him down as well.

Maybe she got out of the car too quickly and accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and almost fell to the ground.

She was startled, but luckily she managed to steady herself in time, but she still looked a little embarrassed.

She suddenly felt so ashamed and like she was socially dead.

Eunuch Fu, who had been waiting here for a long time, was about to step forward to greet them, but when he heard the noise, he stopped abruptly and looked towards Yu Yao.

This girl is so unruly. Where did the emperor bring her from?

Huh? Why does she look so familiar? Isn't this the little maid in Concubine Zhao's palace?
How come she came back from outside the palace with the emperor and even got on the emperor’s carriage?

Ye Beichen curled his lips slightly, and an imperceptible smile flashed across his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He took off the mask on his face and threw it at Eunuch Fu.

"Arrange her to serve in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and take care of my daily life!"

Eunuch Fu knew that the emperor was referring to Yu Yao. He glanced at her, then retracted his gaze after a moment and said respectfully, "I obey your order."

Ye Beichen quickly walked away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing His Majesty leave, Eunuch Fu turned his gaze to Yu Yao again and walked over.

"Miss Yu is so lucky, please come in!"

He had a smile on his face, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and led the way.

Yu Yao didn't know what the good fortune that Eunuch Fu was talking about was, but it was obvious that he was referring to the fact that she was brought back to the palace by Ye Beichen and rode in the same carriage.

"I don't deserve it. Thank you for your help, sir!"

She did not explain and soon followed Eunuch Fu into the palace.

She followed Eunuch Fu all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and finally went around to the back hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. She walked along the path in the corner and opened a small room under the beam.

Eunuch Fu then stopped and gestured to Yu Yao: "Miss Yu, this is your residence."

Yu Yao was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted and turned to ask Eunuch Fu: "Excuse me, sir, am I the only one living in this room?"

Eunuch Fu smiled and nodded, "Of course the girl lives alone, there is no one else."

Seeing that Yu Yao looked a little panicked, he added, "Don't worry, there are people living next to you, serving His Majesty, and they also have separate rooms."

Yu Yao heaved a sigh of relief, and the panic on her face faded away.

The treatment for serving the emperor is indeed different. In other palaces, there are no palace maids with their own rooms.

Even the Queen's Fengyi Palace is like this.

Of course, there are exceptions for some elderly maids, who are qualified to live in a room alone.

Yu Yao didn't know that those who lived here were all palace maids.

The purpose is to serve the emperor at night. No one else is qualified to live in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

She didn't know all this, and Eunuch Fu naturally wouldn't tell her the truth, as it was all arranged by him.

If you are able to ride in the same carriage with His Majesty, it is only a matter of time before you sleep with him.

Even if the appearance is damaged, it doesn't matter, as long as His Majesty likes it.

"Miss Yu, you should just follow Miss Zhuxiang from now on. Miss Zhuxiang is in charge of His Majesty's daily life. If you have any questions, you can ask her."

Eunuch Fu said again.

"Thank you, sir. I understand!"

Yu Yao couldn't help but wonder if Zhuxiang was easy to get along with. Eunuch Fu didn't know what she was thinking, and after giving her a few more instructions, he left.

In the afternoon, Yu Yao met the palace maid Zhuxiang that Eunuch Fu had mentioned.

The palace maids in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were different from those in other palaces. Their clothes were light blue, which made their skin look white. Their waistlines were very thin, and their cuffs and hems were embroidered with small flowers.

In addition to the clothes, the palace maids' hairstyles were all the same, with two hairpins.

Zhuxiang looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face like a lotus, almond eyes and rosy cheeks, skin like jade, and a graceful figure. She was a standard beauty.

He just had a cold face and seemed difficult to get along with.

"Your name is Yu Yao?"

Zhuxiang looked her up and down, her eyes like X-rays, coupled with her condescending attitude and arrogant behavior, made Yu Yao feel a little uncomfortable.

That attitude is just like looking down on others.

Although Yu Yao felt uncomfortable, she didn't show it on her face and said calmly, "Yes!"

Zhuxiang pointed to a bundle on the table and said, "Those are all yours. Take them back. If you are missing anything, tell me."

Seeing Yu Yao nod, she asked again: "Can you read?"

"Yes!" Yu Yao replied.

Zhu Xiang glanced at her, then threw a booklet into her hand and said sternly, "It records the emperor's schedule and living habits. Take a good look at it and remember it well!"

Yu Yao took the booklet that Zhu Xiang threw over, flipped through it briefly, and nodded slightly, "Remember it!"

"The emperor gets up at 3 p.m. every day. As his maids, we have to get up earlier and serve him in advance. Do you understand?"

Zhuxiang's eyes fell on Yu Yao's face and she spoke coldly again.

Yu Yao lowered her eyes, which meant that she had to get up before the morning, so she might as well not sleep.

Of course, I just think about this in my mind.

"I understand!" Yu Yao nodded slightly.

Zhuxiang thought that she would show reluctance when she heard that she had to get up before the hour of Yin, but unexpectedly, she did not show any special expression.

He actually looked up to her.

"Okay, pack up and go serve the emperor."

Zhuxiang said this arrogantly and left.

After taking only two steps, she paused, turned her head and said to Yu Yao: "You'd better cover the scar on your face, so as not to scare the emperor!"

She didn't care what Yu Yao's mood was and left quickly.

I don’t know what the Emperor was thinking. He brought an ugly girl with a disfigured face back to the palace and kept her by his side to serve him.

Yu Yao looked at Zhuxiang's receding back, thinking about what she said before she left, and her hand unconsciously touched her left cheek.

There are all kinds of items in the system mall, and there must be ointment for removing scars.

But the impression of the original owner's disfigurement has long been deeply rooted in people's minds.

Ye Beichen also knew that rashly restoring his appearance would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Although there is a good medicine in this world that can restore one's appearance, it is not something that a little palace maid like her can obtain.

Let's wait a little longer and see if we can find an opportunity for Ye Beichen to reward her.

With the emperor's reward, there would naturally be no suspicion.

After thinking for a while, Yu Yao bought a fragrance pill, an adjustment pill, a skin beautifying pill and a wonderful pill from the system mall.

The fragrance of the deodorant pills radiates from the inside out, and will change its scent according to the preferences of the male protagonists from all walks of life.

Adjustment pills can improve various body defects and achieve a perfect and beautiful figure.

Skin beautifying pills can improve the skin. Although the original owner had a good foundation, she was a palace maid after all. She usually did a lot of rough work, so her skin was a little rough.

The function of the wonderful pill is to improve a certain special part of a woman, making men unable to stop.

Yu Yao’s mission is not only to give birth to a child, but also to ascend to the throne.

She was just a lowly palace maid, and she couldn't do without Ye Beichen's love.

After doing this, she had almost used up all her points.

Fortunately, giving birth to a child would earn points, which made Yu Yao eager to sleep with Ye Beichen so that she could get pregnant as soon as possible.

She quickly returned to the house, quietly swallowed the pills she had bought, tidied up, and went to the front hall to serve.
