Several days passed, and Chen Yi remained unaware of the changes both inside and outside the palace. Regardless, life in the courtyard was rather relaxed.
The days were leisurely, almost as if there was no need to prepare for leaving the Capital City.
Min Ming moved into this small courtyard. As a Qingguan woman, she accepted her fate unusually quickly; she was softer than anyone else, except when protecting Min Ning. Her demeanor was naturally gentle, fitting her soft and plump white flesh.
She became a maid of the residence, and indeed took her role seriously.
Chen Yi rose early to prepare breakfast. However, upon getting up and stepping out of the hall, he saw Min Ming fetching water and pouring buckets into the water tank. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her fair, plump arms. When she saw Chen Yi, she withdrew slightly. He nodded at her, and she continued fetching water.
With Min Ming around, many tasks in the household no longer required Chen Yi's attention.
