Seeing Yun Chunnuan awake, Qiao'er was overjoyed, "Princess, you're awake!"
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
She nodded, feeling as if she'd been done wrong by fate.
"What are you doing here?"
Qiao'er's expression was no different from a love-struck fool, her bright eyes blinking, suddenly asking, "Princess, have you ever seen a fairy?"
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
She shook her head, still feeling as if she'd been done wrong by fate.
Qiao'er's excessive flattery was even more over-the-top than last night, "Now I get it! A fairy must look just like the princess! Princess, are all people from the Central Plains this beautiful? How about the men? Can I go to the Central Plains and bring back a handsome young man?"
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
She finally looked at the girl carefully, giving her a mental thumbs-up.
If she remembered correctly, this was ancient times.
This girl sure is ambitious, impressive.
"Qiao'er, is that Central Plains person awake?" From outside, a loud voice shouted, quite impolitely.
Just as Yun Chunnuan was about to speak, Qiao'er blurted out, "Awake! You all come in and see! See if I'm lying! Looks even better by day than at night!"
As she spoke, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A group of a dozen girls with rosy cheeks barged in, each darker than the last, all wide-eyed as if they'd seen a rare treasure...
"Dear heavens! How is she so white! Just like Qiao'er's family's big white cat!"
"Could she have some hidden illness? How could anyone be so white!"
"The emperor of the Central Plains didn't send some white fox spirit to seduce our general, did he?"
The dozen girls chattered away, completely ignoring that their subject of discussion was right in front of them.
Yun Chunnuan felt like she'd been utterly wronged and couldn't describe her mood in words.
Just as she was about to stop them, a man's low and stern shout suddenly came, "Got nothing better to do?"
Yelyu Lie was displeased; he hadn't had a proper look at his little wife, yet these nosy girls saw her first!
What if they ruined the view?
"General! Second Concubine sent me!"
"General! Fifth Concubine sent me!"
"I...I was sent by Eighth Concubine... to have a look..."
The dozen maids turned around collectively, passing the blame.
Behind them, Yun Chunnuan was once again stunned.
Turns out, the rough and wild man was a real stud?!
What was that idiotic father emperor thinking? He cherished and pampered his little princess for sixteen years, only to award her to a man with a harem?!
"Scram!"
With one stern shout from the man, the dozen maids quickly scurried away.
A few couldn't resist taking a few more glances at the door, then laughed at something, quite mischievously, as they closed the door.
With the maids gone, the room fell into an awkward silence.
Yun Chunnuan quickly grabbed the bloodstained hairpin beside her pillow, clutching the blanket, and shrank into a corner.
She watched the man warily, noticing he was holding a tray with a delicate bowl, two eggs, and a plate of fragrant chicken legs!
Yun Chunnuan couldn't help but drool again, forcing her gaze away from the plate of chicken legs.
But her stomach, well, it wouldn't behave.
'Grrrr——' it echoed in the room, causing her fair skinned face to flush instantly.
