“Well… this subordinate will go fetch the medicine right away. Please wait a moment,” Imperial Physician Liu hesitated but ultimately agreed to Mei Siyu’s request. After all, it was common for concubines to request such medicine from imperial physicians, though this was his first time, making him somewhat uncomfortable.
After obtaining the medicine, Mei Siyu thanked the physician and happily returned to the Yangfeng Palace. “Miss, where did you go? Liu Gongong was looking for you earlier,” Xiao Rou said, taking the medicine bottle.
“What did he want?” she asked softly, picking up a lychee and eating it inelegantly, completely disregarding a lady’s image.
Xiao Rou handed her the new clothes sent by Liu Gongong as her answer. Her mistress had become more cheerful, which was heartening, but her eating manner was hardly befitting an imperial concubine! If the Emperor saw her like this, he would surely not praise her elegant demeanor.
“Wow, such a beautiful dress! Was this sent by him? I didn’t expect a eunuch to have such good taste!” Mei Siyu’s pink face showed surprise, looking adorably cute. She asked Xiao Rou to help her change, loving the outfit so much that when she put it on, it fit perfectly, as if tailored just for her.
“Miss, the dress is not just from Liu Gongong, but the Emperor’s intention. He hopes you’ll wear it to the banquet.”
Mei Siyu’s attitude fully expressed her love for the dress. Under Xiao Rou’s care, she bathed and dressed, sitting before a bronze mirror, allowing her maid to style her hair and apply makeup. After careful preparation, a pure and ethereal beauty emerged!
With curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a touch of cinnabar between them, cherry-like pink lips, smooth hair hanging behind her ears, a jade hairpin, she looked fresh and elegant. Wearing a white and pale yellow floral dress with diamond-studded hem, a golden jade pendant on the right side, lotus-shaped earrings – she looked breathtakingly beautiful.
Xiao Rou, always by her side, was also stunned: “Miss, you’re so beautiful! So transcendent, like a celestial fairy, not a mortal woman.”
“Oh, I think I could be even more beautiful,” Mei Siyu boasted playfully, sticking out her tongue at Xiao Rou, who couldn’t help but smile. Her mistress was mischievous yet pure, with beauty in every gesture.
