Chapter 28: Strange Servant Girl (1/2)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

In the previous life, An Rushuang remembered Princess Anyang had held the flower banquet to the end no matter how few people attended it. Princess Anyang loved flowers, peony in particular. It was now mid-April when peony flowers were in full bloom.

Princess Anyang was not a timid person who in the last life brought a garden of peony flowers out to share with local people for appreciation.

How could she cancel the flower banquet? It was still early. Even if it was because of a lack of visitors, it was too early to make a final decision.

An Rushuang was indeed confused.

Seeing this, Mingyue couldn’t help saying angrily, “Humph, how could she go back on her own words? No wonder no one comes here. Let’s go! We still have Princess Mingxi’s invitation!” She did say all these words without a second thought, which might offend both Princess Anyang and Princess Mingxi if her words were being maliciously used by others.

Even Xianxian wanted to seal her mouths in case she said something even more shocking and unexpected.

“Mingyue, stop joking around. I know you can’t wait to attend Princess Anyang’s banquet. Just be patient, okay?”

Saying so, An Rushuang turned to Luoxia and said, “Since we’ve arrived, could you please do us a favor to inform Princess Anyang of our presence? Even if we could not attend the flower banquet in Changchun Garden, it’s still good to see Princess Anyang in person. In this case, our efforts to travel here in the morning mist could be worthy.”

“True enough. Could you please do us a favor?” echoed Xianxian.

Hearing this, Luoxia couldn’t help slightly frowning. Obviously, she didn’t expect they would insist on paying a visit. After a while she said, “Yes, and it’s my duty to inform Princess Anyang of everything. But we do not have a place for tea, so I’m afraid ladies, you have to wait here for a moment.”

Lu Mingyue had never been treated as such. She looked coldly at Luoxia. If she was not held tightly by Xianxian, she would have already left.

There must be something wrong with the servant girl called Luoxia.

Thinking so, An Rushuang was extremely confused, but she didn’t show it out; instead she said slowly, “No worries. We’ll wait here.”

When Luoxia left, An Rushuang asked the guard called Chang Sheng in confusion, “May I ask whether she was the maid serving Princess Anyang?”

Hearing An Rushuang’s question, Hong Yu smartly went forward and gave Chang Sheng some money.

However, Chang Sheng quickly declined and said with his head shaking, “Sorry, I cannot accept this.” He was so anxious that his face blushed, which made everyone laughing. Although Chang Sheng was tall and strong, his response was indeed cute and funny.

Hong Yu also smiled and tried to force him to take the money, “This is a reward from Miss An. Just keep it.” Saying so, Hong Yu thought this time he would take the money. However, he refused it anyway.

“I cannot take credit for what I did not do. Sorry for that,” said Chang Sheng determinedly.

Slightly frowned, Chang Sheng stepped backwards and performed coldly, rejecting An Rushuang’s “reward”.
