Ruan Nanny quickly said: “Alright, alright! As long as you’re fine!”
I said with a panicked expression: “Nanny, please don’t say that. It’s still uncertain whether this will happen.”
Ruan Nanny quickly comforted me: “You can be at ease about this.”
In the inner palace with three thousand beauties, the emperor only favors the empress. Whatever the empress agrees to, the emperor will definitely not refuse!
Ruan Nanny looked at me amusedly: “Silly girl, why would I lie to you?”
I looked at her with a smile: “Thank you, Nanny!” Her speaking up for me in front of the empress was completely unexpected.
A mysterious time travel, I was already feeling depressed, getting married so quickly was something I never even imagined, so what should I do next?
At this moment, my brain was completely in chaos…
Seeing that most people in the room had dispersed, I quickly tore off the big red bridal veil, and when my vision cleared, I finally felt a bit more at ease!
Thinking about what I would face next, I began to feel restless. I simply stood up and carefully examined the room’s design. At first glance, the room’s layout was extremely simple, but the materials were exquisite.
On the tea table to the east, red candles were burning with a crackling sound, filling the room with a festive atmosphere.
I caught sight of the white jade wine pitcher on the table corner, and a thought quickly flashed through my mind.
I’m a coward. Whenever problems arise and I don’t want to face them, I choose to escape…
And perhaps alcohol could be a good way to resolve my current predicament!
If I get drunk, I won’t have to think about anything, won’t have to be afraid, and won’t need to worry about how to face the upcoming awkwardness…
I’m not afraid of post-drinking consequences.
After drinking an entire pitcher of wine, my inner fear became even more apparent. After downing the last drop, I shouted loudly towards the door: “Someone, bring me another pitcher of wine!”
The door opened, and I thought a maid had been sent to attend to me. I ordered: “Go, bring another pitcher of wine for this madam!”
After waiting for a while with no response, I couldn’t help but turn around, and I saw a figure swaying before my eyes. I squinted, trying to see clearly, but the face kept moving, seeming familiar yet not quite remembered. I impatiently told the person to leave: “Hey, why are you still standing there? Didn’t you hear me tell you to bring wine?”
“Wine?
After a long pause, the other party finally spoke, trying to suppress their anger, speaking word by word: “You damned woman, you actually secretly drank the entire pitcher?”
“Wrong!” Although my eyes couldn’t see clearly, my ears were fine. I laughed and waved my index finger in front of his eyes: “I didn’t secretly drink, I drank openly and aboveboard! Hehe…”
As soon as the words fell, my legs went soft, and I swayed to one side. In my muddled state, I felt someone supporting me, and a low curse seemed to sound in my ear: “Damn it, just wait until you wake up, and I’ll deal with you!”
With a fearless smile at the corner of my mouth, I contentedly leaned against something unknown and fell asleep comfortably.
The little maid nodded and said: “Yes, the Crown Prince instructed this servant to change my name to Shui’er!” Seeing my face turn from white to blue, she anxiously asked: “My lady, do you… not like it?”
“No!” I gritted my teeth, squeezing out two words, my face turning iron-blue as I asked: “Where is the Crown Prince?”
“The Crown Prince is drinking tea in the front hall. Should this servant go and call him over?”
“No need, you can all leave!”
I lazily yawned, gesturing for the two to retreat.
“Huh?” The two maids were stunned simultaneously, eyes wide, looking at me in confusion.
I pulled the blanket and lay down again, closing my eyes and instructing: “I want to sleep a bit more, you can wait outside.”
Sorry everyone, for making you wait so long. I’ve been too busy today and only now have time to write, I’m sorry…
That guy is definitely doing this on purpose.
“But…” The two young maids looked at each other, with a hesitant and troubled expression.
“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?”
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!”
