C137 Preparation Stage

When the white lotus woke up, the room was still cold. No one knew when Yu Longchen had left, but the only thing that remained in his mind was the loving smile on Yu Longchen's face, and the intimate action of covering her with a blanket.

Unconsciously, he laughed out loud. It turned out that the Royal Highness had me in his heart. He only temporarily liked Mu Ruqing. Now that he did not like her anymore, I will make you like me, Your Highness...

He dressed up well for no other reason but Yu Longchen. The white lotus knew that although she could not see Yu Longchen, he must be hiding in the dark.

Therefore, she had to appear beautifully in front of Yu Longchen and make him like her even more.

He hummed a tune and went to the kitchen. He was happy. He did not care about the accusations of those people at all. White Lotus only cared about whether Xiangyi would come or not.

The white lotus was washing the vegetables. Its big watery eyes looked at the door of the kitchen from time to time, hoping to see Xiangyi's figure.

"Ah!" A woman jumped up in front of the white lotus. Her thick yellow fingers were holding the linen clothes and swinging them. She poked the white lotus' head hard with her other hand. "Little hoof, are you blind? You can't even wash vegetables. What else can you do? I thought the prince was pampering you. You want to wait for the Royal Highness? Don't look at what I look like, and don't look at whether I'm worthy or not. The princess is the direct daughter of prime minister, a lowly peasant like you. You still want to climb up a branch? Give up on this idea! "

It turned out that White Lotus was lost in her thoughts and splashed the water on the woman's clothes. It was just a few drops, yet the woman was already so angry. However, White Lotus was also used to it. These people could scold her for a day with just a few small things. So it turned out that she would tolerate it.

But it was different now. Yu Longchen had promised her. White Lotus glared at her. When I become the prince's concubine, I'll see how you die!

The woman spat out her saliva when she saw White Lotus glaring at her. A hint of disdain and anger appeared on her dark yellow face. She rolled up her sleeves. Her short and thick arms pushed White Lotus hard. "What are you doing, little hoof? Are you not convinced? Who do you think you are? It's just a servant. How dare you glare at me!"

The strength of the woman's hands was too great. Bai Lian was thin and weak to begin with, but after being pushed by her, her entire body fell to the ground, because for a moment, her center of gravity was unstable. Her hands grabbed onto the wooden basin that was washing vegetables, and the wooden basin also fell. The water soaked her clothes below her waist, and the splashing water also splashed onto her face. Her temples were all wet.

White Lotus did not speak. She only raised her eyes to look at her. She got up, got rid of the water on her hair, and stood up to twist her drenched clothes in front of her.

When the woman saw that she was ignoring her, she raised her eyebrows. She glared at White Lotus and gave him a heavy slap. "Pa!" The sound was very loud, causing the people in the kitchen to be busy. They only looked in the direction of the two of them.

The white lotus, which had just stabilized itself, fell down again. It was lying in the water, its face stuck to the ground, and the coldness that was deeper and deeper stimulated her nerves through her fair skin.

"Yo, why is it so lively?" Xiangyi walked in in wearing a pink gown. Her fingernails, which were painted with Koudan, fanned in front of her. She seemed to dislike the foul smell in the kitchen. "Don't you have to work anymore?"

Hearing this, the onlookers all lowered their heads and did the work in their hands.

The woman who hit the white lotus also stood there obediently. When the white lotus saw Xiangyi come in, it slowly got up.

Xiangyi also looked at the white lotus who stood up in a sorry state. There was a trace of ferociousness on her beautiful face, which was a bit more mean.

"What's wrong?" Xiangyi had a mocking smile on her face. She looked at the white lotus and asked the woman who was standing in front of her with her head lowered.

"Miss, her hands and feet are rough. She can't even wash vegetables. This time, she knocked over the wooden basin and wet the ground. I only said a few words to her and she retorted..." The woman had a fierce look on her face and trembled as she spoke.

"Alright, I understand. You can go back to your work first." Xiangyi waved her hand and dismissed her with a sentence. The woman gave White Lotus a warning look and went back to do her own thing.

Although it was already spring, the weather was still so cold that even breathing was moist. The white lotus was completely drenched and the skin of its mouth was turning black. It looked at Xiangyi and crossed its arms in front of its chest, shivering.

"What happened to our Miss Bai?" Xiangyi stood in front of the water stains and took a look at the white lotus.

The white lotus stood still and did not look at her.

Xiangyi had many ways to deal with her. She looked around her and said, "Let's go. I will bring you to change your clothes. If it is cold, it will not be good if the Princess comes back and blames me!"

As she spoke, she walked out. White Lotus looked at her back and hesitated. Xiangyi turned her head and was slightly angry. "Let's go! Do you want me to treat you?"

After saying that, White Lotus slowly followed.

Seeing the two of them leave, the woman smiled mischievously and turned the person beside her. "Humph, vixen. Miss Xiangyi will not let you have a good time."

"Yeah, it's all her fault!" The person beside her replied as she cut the vegetables.

The moment she mentioned the Yellow Lady, the woman who had just scolded White Lotus felt a little sad. She had been best friends with the Yellow Lady. Now that the Yellow Lady had left, it turned out that she hated Xiangyi, and now she hated White Lotus. This was the so-called bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

White Lotus naturally could not hear the sound of the kitchen. She only felt that it was extremely cold. She touched her drenched clothes and felt that it seemed to be a little hard. It was unknown if it was because her hands were too cold.

She looked at Xiangyi's collar and a collar in front of her. It looked as if it felt warm. Then it looked at its fingers that were red from the cold and the yellow clothes that it was wearing. It gritted its teeth. He thought hatefully, Wait for me to become a concubine, then wait for regret!

"Miss Bai, how are you doing in the kitchen?" Xiangyi's footsteps did not slow down, and her indifferent tone could be heard.

"Still... okay." White Lotus's teeth were chattering. In such a cold day, only she knew how it felt to walk in the cold wind while wearing wet clothes.

In the meantime, Xiangyi had already brought White Lotus around the mansion. It was obvious that they would reach the house in a while, but the house had to be cold to her! At this moment, the hottest thing on White Lotus' body was probably her eyes.

Xiangyi felt it and stopped. She turned back to look at White Lotus and opened her mouth in surprise. "I did not notice that Miss Bai was wet. Seriously, Miss did not even tell me."

As she spoke, she pushed the responsibility to the white lotus. She blamed herself for not telling Xiangyi. The white lotus stiffly blessed her body and her tone was also stiff. There was no smile on her face. "It was my fault. How could I trouble you?"

As she spoke, she pulled her clothes again. An item fell out of her belt. Before White Lotus bent her legs, which were shivering because of the coldness, Xiangyi picked it up.

White Lotus looked anxious. He stretched out his hand and wanted to snatch it. Xiangyi squeezed the white lotus tightly and teased, "What is it? Is it something shameful?"

"Miss, give it back to me!" The white lotus, which had always been as tall as Mount Tai, became anxious in front of Xiangyi, as if it had forgotten the coldness.

Xiangyi would not do as she wished. She held the thing and took a few steps back to make way for the white lotus. She became more and more proud in her heart. "You don't want to see it, but I want to see it!"

"Miss! Give it back to me!" No matter how White Lotus pleaded, Xiangyi just ignored her and slowly opened her palm.

Seeing the thing in her hand, her eyes widened and the way she looked at White Lotus changed again and again.
