Xuexue was in a daze, it was this call that woke her up.
"Oh my! Zi Xia! You little girl, what are you shouting about so early in the morning, not letting people sleep properly."
Xuexue suddenly sat up from the bed, her head topped with a ssy bird’s nest.
As if it wasn’t ssy enough, she reached out and scratched a few more tis.
Outside the door, Zi Xia’s shouting voice ca again: "First Miss, don’t sleep, sothing’s happened."
"What exactly happened? Can you say it all at once?"
"Soone from the Imperial Palace is here."
"If they co, they co, what’s the big deal?"
Given the War Prince’s esteed status, people from the Imperial Palace ca regularly.
Xuexue thought it was very normal, she really didn’t understand why Zi Xia made a fuss about it.
Outside the door, Zi Xia yelled again: "No, First Miss, they ca specifically to invite you."
"Invite ?"
"Yes! The Empress sent soone to invite you to the palace."
The Empress? Xuexue tilted her head and thought, she never had any dealings with the Empress, why is she inviting her to the palace?
"Okay, got it."
"Creak."
At the sa ti, the door was gently pushed open by Zi Xia.
Behind her, the maids holding toiletries gradually entered the room.
Since this was Xuexue’s boudoir, Long Yi did not dare to barge in, he just stood properly with the guards outside the door.
Zi Xia carefully placed the items in her hands on the table, then looked at Xuexue worriedly, and said, "First Miss, the Empress suddenly inviting you to the Imperial Palace, could it be nothing good?"
Xuexue got out of bed, first washed up, then sat in front of the dressing table, looking indifferent: "Who cares! The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge, worrying is useless."
"Is Miss really going to the palace?"
"It’s not a matter of whether I want to or not, but since they have co for , can I not go?" Situtu Xueer couldn’t help but give Zi Xia a sidelong glance, isn’t this just nonsense?
"True, Miss, you should be a bit careful, the Imperial Palace isn’t like the outside, you can’t just act as you please there, misspeaking even a word could cost you your head."
"It’s not that frightening, don’t listen to other people’s nonsense."
Before long, under Zi Xia’s skillful hands, Xuexue’s ssy long hair was styled into a particularly popular coiffure of the ti.
"Oh my! Once First Miss is dressed up, she’s breathtakingly beautiful, Second Miss is nothing in comparison."
In the past, when Auntie Tang was alive, Situtu Qinger had a great reputation for being the top beauty in the Capital, talented and virtuous, a paragon of virtue and beauty, refined and courteous, you na it, she had it all.
Now that Auntie Tang is deceased, Situtu Qinger not only fell from a Legitimate Daughter to a Concubine-born Daughter, but her reputation plumted, especially after the theft at the Celestial Master’s Mansion spread, her na in the Capital was further tainted.
During that ti, she hid in the General’s Mansion, not daring to step outside without necessity.
Xuexue laughed: "Why bring her up? It really spoils the mood."
The person in the mirror smiled as bright as a flower, without the slightest displeasure.
Zi Xia knew that First Miss was joking with her.
"Miss looks really happy."
"Mm."
Indeed, these days, with the General’s Mansion’s finances in her hands, everything was progressing smoothly.
Surely Situtu Qinger can’t eat or sleep well.
Thinking of these things, naturally, Xuexue was happy.
She’s just a small woman, without great ambitions, only here for revenge, as long as the enemy doesn’t live comfortably, she’s in a good mood.
After everything was tidied up, Zi Xia finally opened the door and brought Long Yi in.
