I dont know if its because of the bed or something else, but that night, I didnt sleep very peacefully. I lay there with my eyes open and watched as the sky gradually brightened up.

  Although I had tried to be as quiet as possible, I still woke up Shuying who was sleeping in the outer room when I got up.

  She hurried over to help me pick up my clothes and asked, "Miss, why dont you sleep a bit more?"

  I smiled slightly: "Now that Im awake, its actually more uncomfortable to continue lying in bed. As for you, you were tired all day yesterday and now youve been woken up by me again."

  "Whats it to me?" she said with a smile, turning around to head out the door: "Ill go help Miss bring some hot water for washing up. Its still early now, and I dont know if the people at the Wang estate have prepared everything yet. But thats okay, I can take the opportunity to ask if the third prince has returned."

  She had not yet reached the door when she heard a faint sound of footsteps outside, mixed with a maids hushed voice: "I dont know how much longer the princess will sleep in, its freezing cold and Sister Yun has sent us over so early."

  Another voice rang out coldly, although it was intentionally lowered, but still audible: "Its just a case of a magpie occupying a cuckoos nest, is it worth making such a fuss? In my opinion, even the beautiful third miss of the Murong family is not worthy of the young master, let alone her."

  I pulled Yurou back from pushing the door open and gesturing to her to be quiet, smiling faintly as I listened to the sounds coming from outside.

  "But this new queen is also very beautiful, did sister see when the kings wife lifted the veil last night?"

  The woman seemed to have smiled slightly, her voice still cold and distant: "Even the palaces beauties are more beautiful than her, let alone...who knows..."

  Her words were extremely vague, and I couldnt hear them clearly. All I heard was another maids voice with a hint of surprise: "It cant be, can it? The second young lady of the Murong family was indeed kidnapped, but later the Prime Ministers mansion really sent someone to find her back. They wouldnt mistake their own daughter, would they? Besides, the maid who fell off the cliff with Miss Murong at that time was her sister An Xiang, a maid of the third young lady of the Murong family. I happened to recognize her... how could it be fake?"

  She hadnt finished speaking when a woman interrupted: "What are you people babbling about here?"

  I recognized this voice, it was that gentle and polite maid from last night. I smiled faintly, and this play should also come to an end.

  That woman could enter the bridal chamber and converse with ease and poise, its not hard to know that although she was a servant girl in the mansion, her status would never be low.

  As expected, the two women suddenly fell silent and called out in unison: "Xunyun sister, Zhuyu sister."

  That clear and gentle female voice sighed, opening her mouth in a low tone: "Youve been at the Wang Fu for quite some time now, yet you still dont understand what to say and what not to? Being so reckless and unaware of the weight of your words, its only a matter of time before something happens. I wont be able to protect you all the time."

  Those two women had not yet spoken, when another soft and delicate female voice rang out in gentle laughter: "Alright, Xun Yun, youre not unaware that in the eyes of these little girls, Young Master is a heavenly being. Now that hes married, its only natural they feel uncomfortable."

  Xun Yun seemed somewhat helpless, and said lightly: "Zhu Yu, why are you also coming to make trouble? Speak softly, dont wake up the princess. And, how many times have I told you, why cant you change this title, although His Highness doesnt mind, but outsiders hearing it is always not good..."

  "Alright, alright, good sister, next time you wont dare. Besides, you dont have to be so careful all the time, its too tiring. For example, our new queen, I bet she didnt wake up that early yesterday, she must be exhausted, its not something those pampered princesses can handle."

  "This princess seems to be somewhat different from the ordinary ladies, last night encountered such a thing, but she didnt have the usual panic of an ordinary woman, in her conversation, calm and composed." Xunyun stopped for a moment before asking again: "Zhu Yu, did you notice her eyes?"

  "Good sister, the new queen is not bad, but after following the lord for so long, what kind of beauty havent we seen? I dont have your thoughts to notice her eyes."

  "It doesnt seem like it at first glance, but if you pay attention...". After a long pause, Xun Yun finally spoke up: "Her eyes are very similar to someones."

  She hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth: "You mean..."

  Neither of them spoke again, leaving only silence.

  They didnt say a word, and the other two little maids naturally didnt dare make a sound either.

  All I could hear outside the door was the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

  I tightly grasped Shuyings hand, and comforted her with a smile as she looked displeased. Then I waited for a while to make sure no one would notice anything unusual before smiling at her and saying, "Alright, go open the door and say we just woke up and need hot water."

  Her face still showed discontent, but she still did what I told her to do. The people outside the door, even if they noticed that her expression was different, would only think that she was still resentful about last nights events, no one would suspect anything, and no one would be suspicious.
