“Young lady, you’re teasing me again! I won’t pay attention to you!” Huier turned her face away, blushing, with a delicate smile.
“Huier, let’s sign up!” Lan Ling’er exclaimed, pulling Huier toward the eunuch.
“Eunuch, we want to be palace maids!” Lan Ling’er said with a smile.
“Oh? Quite pretty. Write down your names and wait for further notice!” the eunuch remarked, eyeing them curiously.
“Thank you, eunuch!” Lan Ling’er felt relieved, envisioning life in the palace without worries about food and clothing—a one-day adventure.
“Young lady, are we really going?” Huier questioned, surprised that Lan Ling’er seemed serious.
“Of course! Huier, quickly write your name! No, I’ll write it. I’ll be Wang Dashuang, and you’ll be Wang Xiaoshuang! Thank you, eunuch!” Lan Ling’er declared, justifying the use of fake names as harmless.
Wang Dashuang? Wang Xiaoshuang? What was Lan Ling’er plotting now?
Huier felt overwhelmed by her friend’s excitement, standing behind her in dismay.
“Stop feeling overwhelmed! Hurry, these are the palace maid clothes the eunuch brought. Quickly change!” Lan Ling’er urged, handing Huier the clothes.
“Hey! The prince’s mansion needs two maids. You two, go quickly!” a young eunuch called, pointing at them.
We?
Go to the Wang Mansion? How could they deceive me like this? We agreed to go to the palace!
“What are you hesitating for? Quickly follow me!” The eunuch was somewhat angry.
“Yes!” I wanted to escape but was pulled back by the eunuch.
“Alright, this is Lord Meng Qi! Serve him well; otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I’ll have your heads roll!” The eunuch opened the door, threatened us, and then left.
“Damn eunuch, be careful not to get hit by a car!” Lan Ling’er muttered behind his back.
“Miss, stop cursing! Look, this Wang Mansion is really something else!” Xi’er exclaimed.
“What? This eunuch is irresponsible, bringing us to this ghostly place! Xi’er, quick, while they haven’t discovered us, let’s run!” Looking at the messy grass in the courtyard, I was already scared.
“Who are you? Oh, you must be the maids brought by Hu Gong Gong! Come in quickly. First, clean up this courtyard, then tidy up the Wang Lord’s bedroom. I’m going to sleep for a while!”
