Someone dismissively curled their lips and said: “Hmph, as if you understand!”
“I… I don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand! The god of love has never favored me, and I no longer have any fantasies or hopes about love…”
After speaking, I gloomily picked up the teacup, poured myself some water, and drank it, only to spit it out the next second. I cursed: “Damn, is this cold water something a person should drink!”
Qi Chenxuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “Have you seen anyone come to change the hot water since you entered the room? After a night, how could it not be cold? Did you expect it to heat itself?”
“Who says water left overnight can’t maintain its heat?” I was angry. Damn it, what kind of broken time and space is this, not even having a thermos!
Someone raised an eyebrow with interest: “So, you have a way to keep water hot?”
“Of, of course!” I raised my head and spoke loudly, though one could hear that the deliberately raised voice was somewhat lacking in confidence! In modern times, keeping water hot is not difficult at all – just use a thermos. However, in ancient times, if he asked me to demonstrate on the spot, where would I find such things…
Fortunately, a knock came from outside, and a middle-aged man’s voice rang out: “Your Highness, the servants are already in the front courtyard. Please proceed with the madam!”
The servants, suddenly called together, didn’t know what major event had occurred. They whispered to each other, making the front courtyard noisy…
Only when Qi Chenxuan pulled me out did the chaotic scene quiet down. Everyone lowered their heads, their expressions both nervous and uneasy!
Qi Chenxuan cleared his throat, with an air somewhat like a national leader giving a report: “I’ve called everyone here mainly to announce something. From now on, all matters big and small in the residence will be handled by the side consort. Everyone just needs to follow her instructions. Especially Manager Zhao, if there’s anything, discuss it directly with the side consort. No need to ask me first! Is everyone clear?”
Oh, so this is my “inauguration” ceremony! Standing at the front, receiving everyone’s respectful yet surprised gazes, I suddenly realized that this feeling wasn’t bad at all…
