“Is there something else?” I have a quirk where I can’t sleep if someone is nearby. Seeing the two standing at the bedside unwilling to leave, I had to open my eyes and ask with patience!
After looking at each other for a while, Shui’er who entered first hesitantly said: “But my lady, you need to pay respects to the Emperor and Empress in the palace today. If you’re late, it might not be good.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, I immediately threw off the blanket and jumped out of bed, my face falling, looking at the two with an extremely grievous glare: “Such an important matter, why didn’t you two remind me earlier?”
Being glared at, the two maids simultaneously lowered their heads: “We thought my lady knew, so…”
Know? I would know, my foot…
Seeing the two standing, I rubbed my forehead in pain and helplessly scolded: “What are you standing around for? Hurry and help me get dressed!”
“Yes!” The two then nervously raised their heads, fumbling to help me dress.
“Oh my god!” Nine out of ten buttons were wrong, and I couldn’t help but wail.
“Sorry, sorry. I was too nervous, so…” The two maids realized their mistake, their faces turning red, and they hurriedly said: “Sorry, sorry, this servant will help my lady button up properly.”
After a while, I tentatively asked: “Are you afraid of me?”
The two maids answered in unison: “No!”
“No?” I pursed my lips, not believing their response: “If you’re not afraid, why are your hands still shaking?”
“This servant, we are just nervous!” After finally buttoning the last button, they replied tremblingly.
“Nervous? Why are you nervous?” I frowned in confusion.
“Be-because the Crown Prince instructed that my lady has a bad temper, and we should be careful. If we make my lady unhappy, he will send us out of the mansion!”
Damn, ruining my reputation.
The maid named Shui’er spoke while observing my reaction, only slightly relieved when she confirmed I wasn’t about to lose my temper!
Damn it! I knew it!
That bastard Qi Chenxuan is ruining my reputation from the very first day…
To completely overturn the wrong impression he’s created about me, I had to adopt a soft approach, smiling at them: “So, do I look like the person your Crown Prince described?”
