Chapter 20 Waiting for Summons
"Thank you, Mr. He, for coming to inform us."
"No need for formalities, my lady. You go ahead and prepare, I shall take my leave."
"Xiao Luzi, see Mr. He out."
"Yes!"
After seeing off Mr. He, Chunqi immediately came to Lin Wanyi’s side and said coquettishly,
"How would my lady like to dress today? Let me serve you."
In her mind, her mistress was always too plain, usually bare-faced, but today was a significant day for attending to the Emperor’s bedchamber, and she ought to dress up properly.
Even though she would still need to bathe and groom at Qian’an Hall, it wouldn’t hurt to get prepared nicely now.
"Just put my hair up, and I’ll wear the white dress embroidered with butterflies among flowers."
Chunqi frowned, wondering if it might still be a bit too plain. However, they hadn’t brought many clothes when they entered the palace, and given the low rank of a concubine, the court dresses sent were according to that status, so standing out too much wasn’t possible.
Therefore, she just nodded and went to find the dress, while also asking Xia An to prepare warm water, so she could do her mistress’s hair.
Chunqi’s hairstyling skills were top-notch, something she learned from an old nanny back at home. Though she was lively, her hands were skillful.
