78 Little Maid Exaggerates (1/2)

Even before the sun was up, Pei Nan had already arrived at the Thousand Flower Pavilion. He was in his court official uniform. It could only mean one thing. He came over to see Pan Yu Mei before heading off to court.

Chu'mei was at the door to greet him. She didn't immediately announce his arrival. Pei Nan could already guess that Yu Mei was still sleeping. Usually he would use that against her but not this morning. Seeing how upset she was last night, he decided to let her sleep in this once.

”Your highness! What brings you here so early in the morning.” Chu'mei asked surprised. This was the first time in her life that Pei Nan was coming over without notifying them beforehand. She had no time to react or urge Yu Mei to get ready. Most likely her lady was wrapped like a dumpling in bed.

[CHu'mei, think of something. If his highness finds out that my lady is still in bed, would he throw a fit?] Panic was written all over her face but who was Pei Nan? He would not let her feel assured. Why? Because she was the reason he couldn't see Yu Mei in the morning. If she had done her job and woken her lady up in the morning, he wouldn't have to be standing her depressed. To think he woke up extra early to come over. All the effort wasted.

”Is she still asleep?” he asked.

”Xiaojie is…” Chu'mei didn't know how to answer to him.

”Forget it. When she wakes up, make sure she drinks this ginseng soup.”

The maid standing behind Pei Nan walked forward with a tray. Chu'mei quickly took it from her.

”I thank your highness on behalf of my lady.”

Pei Nan didn't say anything else as he turned around to leave. A second later, he turned back. ”Tell Consort Pan that in the afternoon she must go to the Empress's tea ceremony class. There is no but. I want her to use this time to become closer with my mother.” He gave Chu'mei a death glare. ”Make sure she goes or else it'll be you who gets punished.” He warned before taking a leave.

She waited for him to disappear.

”Huh? Me again?” Chu'mei stomped her feet. How unfair was this? If her lady refuses to go, she was the one to be punished? What kind of logic was that?

Chu'mei let her lady sleep until her heart was content. Luckily it was only an hour more after Pei Nan left.

Yu Mei woke up in a good mood as she sat down for breakfast. Her bright happy eyes soon turned.She frowned confused. [What is this?] She strangely glared at the yellowish orange liquid in front of her.

By now Chu'mei had learned her lady's every facial expression. If she was correct, her lady would open her mouth in three seconds to ask and complain. Good thing Chu'mei caught on quick. Yu Mei's mouth slightly opened but was quickly cut off by Chu'mei's quick words.”It's ginseng soup. Drink up. It's good for your body.”

”But I want meat.” she complained.

Yu Mei picked up her spoon and took a sip of it. She scowled. ”It's bitter.” She pushed the bowl far away.

”Xiaojie, this morning his highness stopped by to give you this ginseng soup. If his highness hears that you didn't drink it, imagine how sad he would be. If I was his highness, my heart wouldn't be able to take it.” Chu'mei put her hand on her heart, acting like she was truly hurt for Pei Nan.
