"You got up so early, and I was frightened just now when I entered the room."

Ye Qingyi laughed at once and said, "What are you afraid of? Who else dares to bother us in this Mansion now?"

Hua Yue thought for a moment, "This is true. The Lady now is not what she was before. Even if Concubine Yun wants to do something, she has to consider it. But the Second Miss and the Third Miss will not give up so easily. Those two did pick on your excellency for many times before when they found that you knew little about kong fu. I am afraid that with what your excellency have done yesterday, the two misses will surely find the opportunity to pick on you again."

"What you said is right, Miss. But I'm afraid that the Second Miss and the Third Miss will not be reconciled with you. Lady. It is better to be more careful."

Ye Qingyi knew that Hua Yue was worried about her. So, she had to practice harder. In this case, in the future, facing whoever came to trouble her, she would not be afraid!

"Yes, what you said is right. I remembered." Ye Qingyi replied.

"Well, your excellency is making fun of me. Hum."

Listening to Ye Qingyi's playful tone, Hua Yue was a little embarrassed. Since eldest Miss fell dow last time, she really got her personality changed. Ye Qingyi looked at Hua Yue who was pretending to be angry, and she smiled, "Okay, it's not early. It's time to have breakfast. I'm hungry."

"Okay, I am going to take breakfast for you, my Miss. You can go back to your room first."

After saying that, Hua Yue went to take breakfast. Ye Qingyi thought about what Hua Yue had just said: Hua Yue was right. Surely, Ye Hongling would not be reconciled. So, Ye Qingyi must be stronger. It is nobody but only yourself that can be relied on. If you lean against a hill, it would collapse someday. If you lean against a person, he might run away someday. Only yourself is reliable!

After eating breakfast, Ye Qingyi went to the backyard to practice martial art again. Hua Yue stood by and looked at her, feeling a bit puzzled. “What kind of martial art is my lady practicing? Why have I never seen it before? But it seems very powerful.”

It was normal that Hua Yue had never seen Ye Qingyi's martial art. In fact, if anyone knew Taekwondo here, Ye Qingyi would really be stunned. In the previous life, she had got the tenth Dan of the Black Belt, but now she only was at about the third Dan. This body was really weak. Having been practicing for only a while, she was a bit unable to stand it.

Hua Yue looked beside her. Although Hua Yue didn't know what kind of kung fu it was, it looked very beautiful when her miss was training. While seeing, Hua Yue felt tempted and itching in her heart, and she couldn't help but reach out hands and follow the movements of Ye Qingyi. From the corner of her eyes, Ye Qingyi just saw Hua Yue following her own gestures. Although Hua Yue's gestures were not right sometimes, Ye Qingyi didn't expect that Hua Yue could keep up with her movements.

"Hua Yue, do you want to learn it?"

"I do!" After hearing Ye Qingyi asking her, Hua Yue nodded in a hurry. Of course, she wanted to learn. If it weren't because she was a little servant girl, she wouldn't have any chance to learn it. When her Miss asked her, her eyes naturally lightened up.

"If you want to learn, you can look carefully and follow me. I will teach you step by step. But learning martial arts is very tiring. If you can't bear it, then don’t start." Ye Qingyi's tone was very serious. Learning martial arts was not as simple as what others thought. The pains that should be taken could only be felt by learners themselves. Comparing with stopping halfway, it would be better to give up at the beginning.

"No, I will study hard and will not stop halfway! I also want to have the ability to protect you from being bullied by others!" Hua Yue solemnly said to Ye Qingyi, with firmness in her eyes. Ye Qingyi couldn't help being touched when she saw it. What had she done to deserve such a loyal girl?

After getting Hua Yue's reaffirmation, Ye Qingyi began to teach Hua Yue seriously. Although Hua Yue was not very smart, she had some talents on martial arts. Ye Qingyi taught it once, and then Hua Yue could almost acquire it, which made Ye Qingyi really gratified.

Apart from being gratified, Ye Qingyi had a little bit envy. In the past, when she first learned Taekwondo, she almost irritated her coach to death because she often failed to meet her coach’s requirements, and she almost gave up Taekwondo. But fortunately, she finally insisted on it. Thanks to her persistence at that time, otherwise, she would have had to find somewhere to cry today.

But there were other four girls in this Picturesque Pavilion, and all of them were loyal. If they were cultivated, they would be able to do things for her in the future. Wouldn't it be better? Thinking of this, Ye Qingyi said to Hua Yue while stopping her movements.

"Hua Yue, go and call Yue Shuang and others here. I have something to say."

Hearing Ye Qingyi's instructions, Hua Yue stopped. Ye Qingyi found that Hua Yue's forehead was sweating. It seemed that this girl also needed a lot of training. It was not enough to rely on her  poor physical condition.

"Yes, your excellency, I am going."

After speaking, Hua Yue ran to call for Yue Shuang and others. Hearing that it was the call of the Miss, the four rushed to the backyard.

"Greetings to your excellency." said Yue Shuang et al.

Seeing the four kneeling in front of her, Ye Qingyi frowned a bit. Although they were the servants, they were all human beings, but they had to behave so humbly. And when their master was upset, they would be beaten and scolded, which would not only damage their dignity, but also hurt their body. Although it was said that people were divided into various grades and ranks in the ancient times, she could not accept it.

"Well, get up. From now on, people in my Picturesque Pavilion, will only kneel down for the heaven, the earth, and your parents! Do you remember?"

"Yes, this slave’s remembered!" The four answered obediently.

"Don’t call yourselves slaves any longer. I gave you your names, and you must learn to call your own names. Your father and mother sent you to serve others but did not let you lose your dignity!"

"Yes! Yue Shuang’s remembered!"

"Yes! Xing Yu’s remembered!"

"Yes! Xue Qing’s remembered!"

"Yes! Wu Miao’s remembered!"

"Very well, that's the way it is." Ye Qingyi nodded with satisfaction. Only in this way could they  be regarded as her people. "Today I call you to come here for nothing else. You all know the rules of my Picturesque Pavilion, and you also know my identity in General's Mansion. Many people in General's Mansion dislike or even hate me, and no one knows how they are planning to kill me behind my back. So, as a person of my Picturesque Pavilion, you must also acquire martial arts!"

"But Miss, we know nothing about martial arts, and as servant girls…"

This Yue Shuang seemed to be a little more clever and bolder than the other three. Although all the four wanted to practice martial arts, there was no master to teach them and they had neither energy nor time to learn.

"Don't worry about it. I will teach Hua Yue and Hua Yue will teach you. Presumably, you saw it yesterday. Although my skills in performing kung fu is not excellent, you can at least protect yourselves if you learn it."

"Thank you for giving me a chance, your excellency." The four extended their gratitude to Ye Qingyi.

Hearing Ye Qingyi's words, the four were overjoyed. They not only had a good boss, but also a good master of martial arts. Some of the girls were bought by a large family from their father and mother to be maids. In addition to their daily hard work, they often be beaten and scolded. They four enjoyed the greatest luck to have met such a good master.
