Book 19: Chapter 35
It was time for the four sisters’ lunch. Lunch wasn’t the standard lunch but an extra meal prepared specifically for them. The four sisters were cheerfully eating when the youngster sauntered over with a smile. He bowed: “Good afternoon, everyone.”
“Ah, good afternoon.”
If nobody else was around, their lazing around in bed wouldn’t make them feel humiliated, but they felt humiliated after the youngster found out about it. After all, it was a shameful habit for Princesses of the imperial family. Further, they didn’t want to see them in their sloppy shape when they always maintained elegant appearances and mannerisms. The youngster didn’t mind them lazing around in bed, nonetheless. As a matter of fact, he didn’t mention it.
Ying and Tanya also expressed the sisters were tired, allowing them to rest as they pleased for the day. The boredom on the ship and the rocking in the horse carriage was tiring for adults, let alone four kids.
Tanya and Ying delegated work. Tanya was in charge of investigating the status quo, while Ying was in charge of guarding the sisters. Ying didn’t let her guard down despite them being in the imperial palace. She didn’t allow anybody to approach the four Princesses without permission, especially armed guards and strangers. The youngster was somebody they were familiar with; but nonetheless, Ying removed his weapon when he entered the dining hall.
Liu Yue was concerned about what the youngster wanted after everything that transpired.
Vera inquired, “Is something the matter?”
“Oh, yes, I came here to notify you that tomorrow is the imperial palace’s open-house day; hence, there will be lots of people coming to the imperial palace tomorrow.”
“Open day?” repeated Nona.
