His attitude was very respectful and humble: "I'll go right now, slave."
Liu Chun nodded, also intending to test her. After all, bathing, an experience-based thing like bathing, would test the maid's attentiveness the most.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Liu Chun slowly walked into the bathroom.
Cui Xin had already filled the bucket, with spare hot water burning next to it. The petals in the bamboo basket were full, and she was spreading petals into the water.
Liu Chun stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then he smiled with satisfaction.
Not only is the efficiency high, but the completion is also high.
"It's much better than I expected." Liu Chun said, "The princess will come to take a bath later, so you should stay and learn how to serve the princess."
When Cui Xin heard this, a trace of astonishment flashed uncontrollably in her eyes.
He immediately retracted the hand that scattered the petals, lowered his eyes and said, "This slave has rough hands and feet. I'm afraid I'm not suitable to serve the princess in bathing, for fear of making the princess unhappy."
Liu Chun frowned and said: "If you don't follow suit, of course you won't. You have been transferred to the inner courtyard, and your thoughts should be on the princess now. How to serve the princess well is what you should consider, not always Thinking that you can’t do it, none of the maids in the inner courtyard say that they can’t do it.”
Cui Xin still lowered her head, looking a little timid: "But..."
"No but, princess, after you take a bath today, I will come to check and accept your learning results."
As soon as Liu Chun finished speaking, Wen Yu came leisurely with a plate of melon seeds.
Seeing Cui Xin standing on one side holding a towel like a quail, Wen Yu casually stuffed the melon seeds into his hand and asked, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that Cuixin was a little panicked, Liu Chun said on her behalf: "Princess, it's the slave who asked her to follow and learn how to serve the princess in bathing."
Cui Xin was holding the melon seeds and was a little at a loss: "But I am worried that I am not good at serving you..."
"You're right to be worried." Wen Yu nodded matter-of-factly.
Cui Xin:......
"You don't need to take a bath anymore, go out."
Cui Xin felt relieved when she heard this, "Thank you very much, princess, I will leave."
Wen Yu had spoken, and Liu Chun would naturally not say anything more.
"Hey, keep my melon seeds." Wen Yu stopped her.
Cui Xin paused when she heard this, turned around and put the melon seeds in her hand on the small table next to the bathtub, "My slave, please leave."
Liu Chun helped Wen Yu take off her coat and helped her get into the bathtub.
The hot water soaked into her body, and Wen Yu picked up a petal with her fingertips: "Cui Xin picked it?"
"Yes, that girl is quite smart and has nimble hands and feet. When I saw that the princess valued her, I thought of teaching her a lesson so that I can serve the princess well in the future."
"Huh?" Wen Yu leaned on the edge of the tub, her delicate shoulders and arms glowing white. She fiddled with the water and said with a smile, "Who said I valued her?"
Hearing this, Liu Chun had a question mark: "Ah? Princess, didn't you specially transfer her to the inner courtyard and let her learn to be responsible for your dressing?"
Wen Yu blinked: "So what? I just thought she was weird, so I took a closer look."
Liuchun:?
"Odd, weird?"
"What else?" Wen Yu poured a handful of water on her chest, "Pretend to teach and that's it. Keep an eye on her if you have nothing to do. If there is anything in the inner courtyard, she will do it for her. After all, she is here."
Hearing this, Liu Chun was somewhat doubtful about life.
The princess actually said Cui Xin was weird? You said you should keep an eye on me more?
But why didn't she see anything strange about Cui Xin? It's just that she is obviously a little nervous when facing the princess, but this kind of caution is normal for a maid.
But since the princess said so, she certainly has her reasons.
"Princess, I know this. I will ask Liu Dong to keep an eye on you secretly."
Wen Yu nodded, Liu Dong's skills were quite reassuring.
She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Liu Chun: "Come, crush them with me."
Liuchun:......
After taking a bath, Wen Yu got into bed holding the hand stove, and she squinted her eyes in comfort.
After a while, Cui Xin came in.
She quickly added charcoal to the stove, cut off the wick on the bedside, then checked whether all the windows were closed, and then saluted from a distance: "Princess, Aunt Liudong asked the slave to learn to keep vigil at night, slave. Just in the outer hall, if you need anything, call the slave."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Dong came in. She checked it, and then looked at Cui Xin strangely. It was really well done, very careful, and there was nothing missing.
If Liu Chun hadn't told her that the princess said Cui Xin was strange, she would have thought she was a maid who worked very diligently and properly.
Liu Dong stepped forward and said, "Princess, my servant will keep vigil for you tonight. Cui Xin will let her learn to adapt."
Wen Yu gave her a thumbs up, "You should go to bed early too."
Then the quilt covered half of his head and fell asleep.
Upon seeing this, Liu Dong gently put down his tent and walked slowly to Cui Xin, "Follow me."
When they came to the outer hall, there were two small couches. Liu Dong pointed at one of them and said, "You will sleep here. You must always pay attention to the princess's movements. When the princess calls, you must answer the call immediately."
Cui Xin nodded.
At midnight, everything is silent.
Liudong leaned on the small couch, not sleepy, so he took out the sachet and embroidered in the moonlight.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance came, and the tip of Liu Dong's nose twitched slightly, and he felt sleepy unknowingly.
She yawned and fell asleep on the couch.
Cui Xin, who was already asleep beside her, slowly opened her eyes.
She sat up and stared at Liu Dong for a while. After making sure there was no reaction, she flashed and came to the door.
Within a few breaths, he disappeared.
After a while, Liu Dong opened his eyes and slowly sat up. His eyes were clear and he did not feel sleepy at all.
She walked to the door and frowned. Seeing Wen Yu sleeping soundly, she went to find Liu Chun.
Liu Chun's eyes widened when he heard Liu Dong's narration.
"What? Is there really something wrong with that Cuixin?"
"It's almost the same, but I didn't expect that a fly got into the princess's mansion! I didn't find it in the past!"
"Don't alert the enemy yet. We'll report it to the princess tomorrow. You can continue to keep vigil."
Liu Dong nodded and returned to the side hall. Seeing that Wen Yu was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright. Liu Dong pushed Cui Xin on the small couch and urged: "Get up quickly. Do you still want to sleep in? Even a pig can't sleep with you. Wash yourself and then quickly go to collect the water in the woodshed. Fill the jar."
Cui Xin was assigned a task as soon as she woke up:...
