Chapter 77: Tea with a princess special...[1]
When she finally came down the stairs, Mei Mei was as grumpy as an old man woken up from his afternoon map. The way she was swinging her bag, everyone in the house was on guard and quick to dodge.
"You have been gone for thirty minutes and already you look like you are ready to execute someone." Feng Qi commented on Mei Mei’s mood. "And why is there a bandaid on your nose?"
Mei Mei touched the bandaid and ripped it off. "It’s that stupid smart makeup mirror. It called my nose to wide and then recommended plastic surgeons. I know I should not allow it influence me in anyway but it took a huge bite out of my confidence. Now, I keep touching my nostrils, wondering if I should shave off a few inches."
"Wasn’t that mirror banned?" Feng Qi grimaced. She too had fallen victim to it more than a few times.
"Ha!" Mei Mei exploded into a skeptical dry laugh. "The company which manufactures it is owned by an American mogul. I don’t think they will stop manufacturing just because people don’t like what the mirror does to self esteem."
She gestured for the the children to stand up so that they could leave. "Jingzhe we are leaving now." she bellowed.
"Shh...." Feng Qi shushed Mei Mei. "A Tea with a princess special episode is starting and I don’t want to miss the littlest bit. They promised us special guests, juicy gossip and inside scoop on the biggest scandal rocking the empire right now. The only scandal I can think about is yours."
Mei Mei sat down in the sofa and she decided to watch as well. Jingzhe was taking his time coming down the stairs anyway so there was no harm in watching the show for a few minutes.
The theme song was the first to play, it was a catchy song which involved some clapping and dancing. Children all around the empire loved it, Mingzhu and Lian were not the exception.
