Chapter 461: She Is Ruthless
Xing was sitting in the inner area surrounded by her maids who were serving her tea and snacks. They were asked to stay here until the results are announced. Sitting with her legs crossed majestically, her eyes glances around making note of every single woman there. As usual Xiao Mei was dressed better than every other woman and her other maids were dressed as well as those women.
The other women felt the burning glare of the Princess Consort who usually is mild in public and were even scared to sit in front of her and stood around forming groups among themselves. Even wearing the best dresses they had, the consorts maids were even more well dressed than them and they felt like they all were lacking. They just felt like they were in a pot of water slowly boiling and cooking them. All they wanted to was just leave and be somewhere else and not be in front of the Consort and her horde of maids looking down on them.
Xing usually doesn’t go on the offensive but these women did try to get her husband and she won’t be merciful towards them.
"Young miss Lei, had fun copying me?", Xing asked with her leg swaying and the silk of her dress made a rustling noise along with the anklet she wore that gave a sweet jingle.
"Ah.. Me...I Didn’t", she stuttered and bit her lip. The entire place became silent and the girls surrounding her split away from her leaving her in plain view. Official Lei
These girls were are always the same. They’d form those gangs mostly as they agree with whom they hate. There usually would be one or two girls in those group who is of higher status and the others will be those who aspire to be of higher status and would just agree to the leader girl and would be minions to her.
Xing looked at all the girls. All go them were pretty young. The eldest one of them must be seventeen year old. They were all adorable with their baby fat still on their cheeks.
If it was her of the past, with golden braided hair and crimson robes, she’d be standing in the midst of those girls saying cheesy lines making them blush and giggle while they’d be fawning over her.
Good old times....
But now... Present is thousand times better than the past! And I will not let my happiness be threatened.
"Is that so?", Xing spoke in a mocking tone and stood up while the Palace maids stood in front of Xing, politely reminding her not to create tensions.
Xing is the one with the highest authority in the place and so the maids had no intention of offending Xing but they cannot let the other girls harmed too. The head maid who is in charge of governing the maids of the selection process came forward politely trying to mediate. The maids were like the invigilators of the competition and to provide assistance to the competitors.
