On the way there, Bai Jing continued to read his book. I felt a bit awkward after being caught peeping at him. But the carriage was only that big, and there were only the two of us in it, so I could only close my eyes and take a nap.
In the end, what I didn't expect was that due to my habit of taking a nap, as well as the fact that I just ate a lot, I fell asleep while leaning against my bed. Even after the carriage swayed, I was still sleeping soundly.
In the dream I returned to the modern day, the white scenery has returned to normal, I feel very happy, very happy.
I was still in the carriage when I woke up, but there was no sign of Bai Jing, but he was wearing the cloak that Bai Jing had left today. I grabbed his cloak and felt a surge of honey in my heart.
I lifted the curtain and found that he was already inside the Duke Palace, Xia Shui was still guarding outside the carriage, seeing that I had come out, he was extremely happy, "Young miss, you're finally out."
"How long have I been sleeping? When did I arrive? Why has no one woken me up?" I asked as I got out of the carriage.
Xia Shui carefully supported me, and then said, "I've been back for two hours now. Her highness said that Miss had slept soundly, and told us not to wake you up for now."
"Oh, let's go back. Right, where is the prince?" I looked at the cloak in my hand.
"The prince has some matters to attend to." Xia Shui answered me, and went forward to support my hand.
"Then his cloak." I've always been troubled.
"The Prince said, 'Miss, please wash up and return it to him.'" Xia Shui said softly, then looked around, "Miss, could it be that you're drooling while sleeping?" Xia Shui's face was filled with worry.
I looked at my clothes and looked around again. "I'm not wet, and I don't like to drool in my sleep." I wondered.
"But when the Prince said it, he felt very angry." Xia Shui said.
"He's angry. Didn't he get angry a lot? What's more, if he dislikes her, then he shouldn't let me do it. Now he dislikes her again and again, he's being hypocritical." I curled my lips.
"Miss, keep your voice down. After Grandma went back, you started losing control of yourself again." Xia Shui reprimanded me.
"It's fine, there's no one here." I subconsciously looked at my surroundings before calming down.
"Miss, you really are." Xia Shui said helplessly.
"Miss, are you alright?" Just as Xia Shui and I were about to return to our own courtyard, the butler suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bowed to me.
"Aiyo, you scared me to death! Butler, what's the matter?" I asked with a start.
"The things that Miss bought today have been delivered to your courtyard. Please take a look and deal with them." The butler replied respectfully.
"Alright, I'll be troubling you, Butler." I agreed and sped up my pace to return to my own courtyard.
There were boxes and boxes all over the courtyard. They were all the jewelry that he had picked today, as well as some rouge and cosmetics, and things that belonged to girls. A set of clothes was also brought over. I opened it and saw that it was the red one I had chosen.
I waved at the maidservants who were still waiting in the courtyard. "Alright, I'll be troubling you. You can go back now." In the end, those people didn't move at all.
"Miss, the butler told us to come to the courtyard for Miss to order.
I have counted six people, adding Xia Shui, there are already seven. I feel that normally, Xia Shui and I are more than enough. There was nothing to do.
"No need. You guys go back. Do whatever you did in the past. I don't need anyone here." I declined.
"Since we're already assigned to Miss's courtyard, we'll be Miss's men. Please accept us, Miss." A pretty girl in the middle came up to me and begged.
I looked at Xia Shui with some difficulty, and tried to find a way, when the butler came in.
As if I saw my savior, I hurried to welcome him. "Butler, it's good that you're here, look, my courtyard doesn't need that many people. It's enough with Xia Shui, you should let them go back."
"Young miss must be joking. According to the etiquette system, given young miss' status, you should have a little girl and a little servant girl." The butler smiled.
"But look, I really don't need that many people in the courtyard to have one main room, two rooms, and a kitchen." I pointed to the yard.
"I was careless. When Prince comes back, I will tell him that Miss is going to be the Crown Prince's Palace's direct daughter. It's not appropriate for her to stay here." The butler nodded.
"No, that's not what I meant. I think this courtyard is very good, and I really like it. How about this, I'll leave three for the people, and you can bring the rest back. I don't need that much either." I panicked and quickly gave in.
The butler nodded: "Alright, I'll do as Miss says."
"Thank you, Butler." I said happily to the butler.
"Miss, if you say so, then I will die." The butler was flattered.
"Then Miss will choose those who have good eyesight to stay behind."
I looked at the few people that were sent over and the young maid who was kneeling down looked at me expectantly. She looked at me as I pointed at her and said, "She." When the maidservant heard that I was left behind, she seemed to be very happy. I frowned. "I don't have anything good here, so why does she want to stay?"
Xia Shui was a little anxious at the side. Seeing that she looked like she had something to say, I looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, can you also keep Cui Zhu and Yingchun?" Xia Shui's eyes were pleading.
"Of course it's okay. I was just worrying about who to pick. If you said it would be like this, then I would believe it too." I smiled.
"Thank you, Miss." Xia Shui excitedly knelt down towards me.
"Thank you, Miss." From the group of people, two more people kneeled down with their heads lowered. They should be the two people Xia Shui picked.
"Alright, everyone else can return with me." The butler spoke to the rest and then bowed to me. "I will also take my leave."
"Steward, take care." I nodded.
After the group left, I sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and looked at the three people who were still kneeling.
"Yes." The three of them said in unison and stood up, but all of them lowered their heads.
"Don't keep your heads down, I can't even see your faces anymore. Tell me your names." I took a walker from a box on the side table and played with it.
"Servant Cui Zhu." He was a little fat, but he looked cute and his eyes were clean. It was obvious from one look that he was a little girl with a pure heart.
"Your servant greets the spring." Yingchun and Cui Zhu were slightly thinner, but they were also a little short and looked like they were slightly malnourished.
"This servant is Hong'er." Finally, the girl who begged me to keep her.
"Why do you want to stay? I'm not interested in any benefits. I saw unwillingness on the faces of the others just now." I asked curiously as I looked at the little girl.
After all, this little girl is a little too abnormal. I am still not the master of the prince's mansion, and the other maidservants are all unwilling to serve me. She is the only one who keeps moving forward.
