Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 742

Qin Yi looked up at Cai Yi with a smile and said, "Yes, I'm honored to be serving Her Highness."

After saying that, Qin Yi lowered her head and embroidered a few more stitches. Then she asked casually, "Cai Yi, where do you come from? Have you been into the Palace since you were a child?"

Hearing Qin Yi's question, she took a glance at Yun Shang who was asleep and said softly, "I'm from the Jin City and I didn't come to the Palace until I was seventeen years old. I was eliminated at the second round of the selection, so I stayed in the Palace as a maid."

"Ah... So you are a candidate of the beauty selection? But how could you be eliminated? I think you are even better in appearance and personality than some of the concubines I have seen." Qin Yi looked at Cai Yi with a bit of pity on her face.

Cai Yi smiled with self mockery and said, "I'm not as good as you said. I was not being chosen probably because of my humble background. My father is just a county magistrate, and I'm the daughter of his concubine. When I took part in the selection, I was already seventeen years old, a little older than the other candidates. So, being eliminated was within my expectation."

Qin Yi nodded and continued to embroider.

Cai Yi was also curious about Qin Yi, so she asked, "How did you become Her Highness' maid?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Well, when Her Highness, the little princess of the State of Ning, was only eight years old, she was framed by a traitor and her palace caught on fire. His Majesty was so angry that he punished all the servants in her palace. Then His Majesty asked her to select some new servants and I was lucky enough to be chosen by Her Highness."

"So you've been with Her Highness for almost ten years?" Cai Yi were a little surprised.

"Yes, it's been almost ten years. When I first met Her Highness, she is just a little girl. Now she is going to be a mother. How time flies!"

After the two of them talked for a while, Yun Shang, who was lying on the couch, let out a groan, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Yi knew that Yun Shang was about to wake up. She quickly put the embroidery aside, walked to the couch and whispered, "Your Highness, are you awake?"

Yun Shang frowned. After a long time, she opened her eyes and closed them again. "What time is it?"

Qin Yi hurriedly replied, "It's almost five o'clock."
