Chapter 13 was barely acceptable.
After being told that by Murong Jing, Su Mowan drifted off to sleep.
I woke up in the morning with a blanket covering me.
Looking around again, it was empty.
She sat up abruptly and saw that Murong Jing had already dressed and was sitting upright in his wheelchair.
"Your Highness, why didn't you wake me up?" Su Mowan asked awkwardly, her heart pounding.
Sharing a bed with someone you don't know well is really uncomfortable.
What shocked her even more was that she had actually fallen asleep next to such a complete stranger last night.
She's sleeping soundly!
Murong Jing glanced at her and said coldly, "I am not your servant, why should I summon you?"
Su Mowan had no reply and could only silently get up.
The sky outside was just beginning to lighten; it was time to leave.
She put on her boots and was about to leave when she noticed that Murong Jing was staring at her.
"Your Highness, I shall take my leave now," Su Mowan said, forcing herself to speak.
Murong Jing frowned and sized her up, saying unhappily, "How can you go out looking like this? Change your clothes first!"
Having said that, he called out towards the door, "Come in!"
Su Mowan stared in disbelief as several maids filed in, carrying toiletries and clothes.
"Consort Su, please allow me to help you with your toilette," a beautiful maidservant said, bowing to her.
Before Su Mowan could react, she was surrounded by her maids and they began to wash and dress her.
Once everything was finished, a maidservant came forward with clothes in her arms.
"Consort Su, this servant will help you change your clothes."
Su Mowan turned around and glanced at Murong Jing, only to find that he was still staring intently at her.
“Your Highness…” she stammered.
Murong Jing asked impatiently, "What is it now?"
"Could you... excuse me for a moment?" Su Mowan asked, her face flushed.
Changing clothes in front of him is really too much to ask.
Upon hearing this, the four maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
Murong Jing turned his back and coldly uttered two words: "Troublesome."
Upon hearing this, the maids immediately sprang into action, skillfully helping Su Mowan change her clothes.
After she finished dressing up, Su Mowan couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
She wore a lotus-colored silk dress, embroidered with colorful brocade, and covered with a blue satin embroidered jacket.
Is this such a formal attire meant to be worn from now on? It seems a bit too elaborate.
Murong Jing turned around, his gaze sweeping over them indifferently: "Barely presentable, you can leave now."
Just as Su Mowan was about to turn around, she saw the two maids who were tidying the bed exchange a meaningful look, their expressions extremely strange.
The two maids noticed Su Mowan's gaze and quickly composed themselves.
Seeing this, the two maids who had been attending to her earlier stepped forward and said, "Consort Su, let us see you out."
Upon reaching the outside of Fenghua Palace, Su Mowan suddenly realized the meaning in the eyes of the two maids, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment and indignation.
Qinghe and Yinshuang, who were waiting outside the hall, immediately came forward to greet them.
Yinshuang remained expressionless, while Qinghe, her face flushed, asked with concern, "Consort Su, are you alright?"
“...Very well.” Su Mowan managed to squeeze out a sentence, and was about to take a step when a woman of about forty years old hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: “Consort Su, wait!”
The woman waved downwards again and shouted, "Hurry up, all of you, hurry up!"
Su Mowan then noticed several servants carrying a palanquin quickly down the steps.
Qinghe also stepped forward to help, saying, "Consort Su, please be careful."
Su Mowan was helped onto the palanquin, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Nothing had happened between her and Murong Jing, so why did she need to be so careful?
