An Jing immediately smiled, "Surely, Lie Qi, serving around the Prince and Princess so much has sharpened your tongue. You're even more decisive than when you work."
The four maidservants in front of her were those often serving in the main courtyard; An Jing and Xiao Changyi needed less serving, as their main duty was to attend to the four little ones. Each was particularly nimble at their tasks and adept at reading people's moods.
Baoqin was rather poised.
Lie Qi was extremely fiery-natured.
Shi Hua was exceptionally gentle.
Ting Shu was very compliant, hardly ever voicing her own opinion, even among the maidservants.
Lie Qi respectfully said, "The Princess is too kind with her praise."
An Jing then asked, "It's said raising troops for a thousand days comes down to using them at one critical moment. Joining the army might soon bring you to the battlefield, are you not afraid?"
