The two looked at each other and actually lowered their heads without speaking!
I suddenly felt discouraged but continued to force a smile: “Is my question hard to answer?”
“Not hard!” Shui’er honestly shook her head.
I pursed my lips, patiently asking: “Then why won’t you two answer?”
Shui’er stammered: “This servant is not refusing to answer, but…”
“But what, just say it!” Unable to bear her continuous “but”, I couldn’t help but raise my voice impatiently.
“Dare not answer!” Shui’er closed her eyes, with a look of resignation.
I helplessly dropped my face: “Alright, you two help me get ready. It’ll be too late if we delay.”
I really can’t understand what makes me look like I have a bad temper. MMD, I really want to chop down the guy ruining my reputation…
“My, my lady, your hair is done. Would you like to take a look? If you’re not satisfied, Shui’er will redo it!” Shui’er’s timid voice sounded from behind.
Don’t bother!” I know my own weight and appearance. As long as I look fresh, that’s enough!
Seeing me about to leave, the maid quickly grabbed me and said, “My, my lady, you haven’t chosen which hairpin to wear yet!”
“No need!” I quickly refused, “So many things stuck in my hair would be so heavy. I don’t want to torture my neck for no reason…”
The young maid furrowed her brows, looking troubled, “If my lady doesn’t wear anything, the others in the palace will laugh at you!”
Thinking about it, she was right. As the prince’s concubine, appearing bare-faced would indeed invite gossip. I casually glanced in the jewelry box, not finding anything I particularly liked, and instructed the person behind me, “Just pick one randomly and put it in my hair.”
“Yes!” The maid, given permission, smiled and happily selected what she thought was suitable and tried them one by one on my head.
“Okay, one is enough, no need for too many!” If I hadn’t stopped her in time, I’m sure the maid would have stuck all the hairpins in my hair at once!
The maid stuck out her tongue playfully, “My lady is naturally beautiful, any hairpin will look good!”
“Cheeky!” I rolled my eyes, laughing and asking, “What, not afraid of me anymore?”
