Shui’er looked disappointed, “I’m just concerned about you. Ask Zui’er and Zi’er if your behavior isn’t weird.”
The two other girls nodded in agreement, their eyes showing concern…
I pulled at the corner of my mouth, “Alright, I’m doing this just to quickly find a princess consort for you. What’s so strange about that? Don’t think I’m desperate for the position of side consort. Even if you make me the main wife, I might not even want it! So, you three, stop worrying about me!”
“Why?”
Shui’er asked incomprehensibly, “What’s wrong with being a side consort?”
You might become empress later, or at least a noble consort.
“Empress, I’ll be governing the country!”
I scoffed, “What’s good about being empress? Having to watch your husband embrace other women every day, feeling unhappy but having to pretend to be broad-minded, constantly scheming – I’d be crazy or have brain problems to want such suffering!”
Shui’er blinked her butterfly-like long eyelashes, looking conflicted, “But if you don’t want to pretend to be broad-minded, why are you going to such lengths to match the prince with another woman?”
I smiled and answered, “Because only by helping them can I leave smoothly!”
“Leave?”
The three girls immediately rushed forward, grabbing my arm nervously, “Madam, where are you going?”
“Naturally, to where I should go!”
I slightly pulled at the corner of my mouth to prevent them from asking endlessly, then continued, “Alright, since Shui’er doesn’t want to stay, let Zi’er stay to take care of things. Time is running short, let’s go to the kitchen to prepare food!”
Just after walking two steps, I suddenly remembered something and turned back to instruct, “There’s a rose bouquet I carefully packaged in the room. Later, remember to hold it in your hands. When you see Miss Qinghan, give it to her. If she asks, say it was instructed by the prince!”
Zi’er’s gaze unconsciously looked into the room…
Due to time constraints, I simply said, “Don’t ask so much, just do as I say!”
Zi’er was the most sensible among the three girls. Hearing me say this, she nodded and stopped asking questions.
