Chapter 308: Thoroughly Prepared (1/2)
Cai Ling was very satisfied with Bai Luochu’s reaction. She opened up the wardrobe and started taking out the best-looking dresses. After rummaging around, she couldn’t find any special or fresh designs and was only able to find a passable green lotus dress. After sizing Bai Luochu up, Cai Ling felt that it was fine and started to dress her mistress up.
Bai Luochu didn’t wish to disappoint Cai Ling and had no choice but to change. As someone who was used to wearing clothes meant to facilitate easy movement, Bai Luochu nearly tripped over when she tried walking in the dress.
“Can I wear something else? I can’t even walk properly in this dress! My hair feels so heavy that my neck is about to snap from the weight!” Bai Luochu wanted to make use of this opportunity to take off the accessories Cai Ling meticulously placed on her head.
How would Cai Ling allow Bai Luochu to do as she please? Cai Ling immediately persuaded, “Mistress, stop complaining about it! Most of the aristocratic young ladies in the capital city are wearing the same thing as you. There are plenty of other private boats on the lake and we cannot allow a ‘young master’ from the general’s residence to attend the First Prince’s invitation.”
“I can’t even walk properly!” Bai Luochu wasn’t willing to give up.
Cai Ling knew that Bai Luochu would use this excuse and she prepared a countermeasure while she was dressing her up. “Mistress, This servant will bring you all the way to the entrance of the general’s residence. After you board the First Prince’s residence’s carriage, you wouldn’t need to walk around for a period of time. After alighting the carriage, His First Highness will naturally be there to help you. His First Highness promised this servant that nothing will happen to you. Mistress doesn’t have to worry.”
Seeing that there was no other choice, Bai Luochu could only agree so as to avoid Cai Ling from sprouting more nonsense.
On Pei Rumo’s side, the First Prince’s residence was bustling with activity as they got ready for the appointment.
“The Drunk Immortal Inn shouldn’t mess it up, right?” Pei Rumo was afraid that something might go wrong and this wasn’t the first time he asked Zi Su this question.
Zi Su was almost annoyed by Pei Rumo’s constant questioning but she managed to remain patient. “Please do not worry about the food. The Drunk Immortal Inn has always been reliable and the moment this servant brought out the title of the First Prince’s residence, they reassured this servant everything will be in place. Right now, they should be preparing the dishes.”
Even though Zi Su had already given her assurance, Pei Rumo didn’t feel at ease. He quickly sent someone to check up on the Drunk Immortal Inn. He even told the person to remain there to ensure that nothing went wrong with the preparations.
When Pei Rumo looked at Zi Su from the corner of his eye, he grew suspicious, “What are you laughing at? Why are you shaking your head?”
