Chapter 28: Strange Servant Girl

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”.

His response did give An Rushuang a start. Looking at him closely, An Rushuang found that Chang Sheng was very tall and upright, with a rigid square face and thick eyebrows; even his drooping eyes carried some determinedness. He really looked like someone from the army.

An Rushuang then asked, “Have you been a soldier before?”

Nodding his head, Chang Sheng replied, “Yes, Miss An. I served in the army for two years. And now...” With some upset emotions, he lowered his head and said slowly, “Now I’m just a guard.”

Not only had he served in the army, he was also a hussar, but he was not able to enjoy the happiness of riding horses and drinking wines after he fell from the horseback and got injured. Thinking of this memory, Changshen couldn’t help feeling sad for himself.

Slightly nodding her head, An Rushuang said, “Only a few generals could be awarded with great honors while a lot of soldiers are sacrificed in the battlefield. So honor does not really matter; what matters is that you are back safe and sound.”

Hearing this, Chang Sheng suddenly looked up and met the pair of dark eyes of An Rushuang. With his eyes turning red and his lips shivering, Chang Sheng was too emotional to say a word.

He did not have a family. “What matters is that you are back safe and sound” was the warmest words he had ever heard after he came back from the battlefield with one leg crippled.

“My father is an ombudsman while you are the protector of our people and our world. The reward I gave you is what you deserve.”

Saying so, An Rushuang looked at Hong Yu who then gave the money to Chang Sheng.

In this manner, he accepted. After a while, he said in a low voice, “Luoxia is the personal maid of Princess Anyang. But I heard that Princess Anyang had promoted another girl to be her personal maid and Luoxia will leave soon. So she is in a bad mood these days.”

Hearing this, everyone felt what she did make sense. No wonder a servant girl could be this rude.

“So all visitors are kicked out by her in this way?” asked Lu Mingyue.

Mingyue was too stunned to shut her mouth. How could Princess Anyang keep such a servant girl? She really admired Princess Anyang’s character.

Hearing Mingyue’s question, Xianxian couldn’t help laughing while Rushuang also smiled and looked at her innocuously. Although there were some ladies who were very straight and upright, no one could be compared with Mingyue on her blunt words.

“Ladies attending this banquet must have made up their minds to come and won’t leave just because of the rudeness of this maid. But Luoxia is indeed strange.” said Xianxian.

Lu Mingyue was still very confused. She only felt Luoxia was really an annoying person, but she couldn’t see any strange bit in her.

Why Xianxian and Rushuang could tell that? Were they smarter? At a time, Lu Mingyue’s eyes were filled with gloom and she pouted as if she was battling with herself.

Thereafter, Chang Sheng quickly denied, “No. Ladies, you are the first to come to the banquet and you just happened to meet Luoxia. Although she was not happy with the promotion stuff, she does not dare to do such things. I assume it must be something that holds up Princess Anyang.”

Nodding her head, An Rushuang said, “Let’s wait a moment.”

She couldn’t believe Princess Anyang would cancel the flower banquet anyway.
