It was a bright day after Yui i moved out to the storage room.
Yui i was cleaning Lady Wangs mansion as per her request.
Lets do so cleaning
She had special feelings toward the place, since it could be her birth ho. She humd as she vigorously cleaned the place.
Alright, Im done!
Yui i was satisfied with her own handiwork. She tidied her cleaning tools.
Oi, Yui i.
A male voice called her out. She turned towards the direction of the sound, and she found Libin standing in the garden with a grim expression on his face.
Libin, what brings you here?
The crown princes palace was far from Lady Wangs residence, so it must have taken him quite so ti. She wanted to ask Libin why he ca to see her, when Libin wordlessly strode towards her.
Is it true that you were bullied by your colleagues?
He interrogated her.
Eh, bullied?
Yui i tilted her head. She had a rough idea what Libin was pertaining to, but she wouldnt consider that as bullying. Yui i thought she was fortunate that she did not have to lift a finger and yet she got her own room.
Is that a mistake?
Libin realized that it was different from what he imagined, so his tightly crunched brows sowhat relaxed.
Libin, may I know what kind of story you heard?
There were senior court ladies who saw you as an eyesore, so they frad you to chase you out from the lodging house.
Libin responded frankly to Yui is question.
There must be a spy of the crown prince in the lodging house.
Indeed. I transferred to the storage room.
Huh!?
Libins eyes widened at Yui is affirmation.
Really, I dont have to be so reserved when getting my own room, after all.
Wait, wait. The room youre talking about is the storage room, right?
Libin retorted at Yui is earnest reply. It seed like he did mind that part.
Everyones so fussy about that place. If theres nothing inside that storage room, then wouldnt it be just an ordinary room?
On the contrary, if things were placed inside a room ant for a person, then it would also turn into a storage room. In short, the perspective and intent were all that would matter with how a room was used.
Libin looked sullen.
But isnt it too narrow?
Well, certainly it wasnt a large room, but Yui i did not mind that it was narrow. It would be a different story if she were to spend the whole day there, but it was more than enough as sleeping quarters. Besides, she was grateful that she secured a space where she can relax.
It is a narrow room for those who live inside a mansion, but it is more important to that I have my own room, narrow as it might be. Its easier to have privacy.
She could stay up late since she got her own room. She was actually excited for her future life.
But thats the storage room, you know?
So what?
After the repeated bouts of asking and answering questions, Libin confird that Yui i was really satisfied in moving out.
Is there anything that you need?
Libin finally asked.
Will you give it to ? Then please, I would like to have a shelf. If it is small enough to display ornants and other small articles, then that would be better. I looked through the stored things, but I couldnt find one that I liked.
Without any reserve, Yui i requested the thing she currently wanted to have. After i Nas visit, she sneakily took so of the scraps of cloth that the court ladies didnt need. It was her own room after all, so she wanted to decorate it. She also wanted to make a few things out of those scraps.
In that case, then Ill choose one for you.
Yui i bead in satisfaction when Libin said that. She thought that her remodeling project progressed one step further.
Yui i, I have so snacks for you when you are done cleaning.
Lady Wangs voice floated from inside the residence.
Thank you very much, it is already finished!
Libin bowed his head beside Yui i when he heard her reply.
Lady Wang saw them. She was surprised.
Oh my, isnt it Libin from the Crown Princes residence? May I know why you are here?
Apparently, Libin was not soone who normally stayed around this area.
Libin lifted his head slowly and responded to Lady Wang.
It was due to a minor concern with the person here.
He pointedly looked at Yui i. Lady Wang batted her eyes. A eunuch attending to the crown prince, and a court lady whose duty was cleaning it was difficult to see any relation between the two.
Well then, since its a rare opportunity, would you like to eat a manju with us?
I am grateful for the offer.
Libin bowed at Lady Wang.
So he ca to eat manju.
Yui i thought he was sowhat reserved, though. Her thoughts were written in her face, so Libin fiercely glared at her.
Its rude to refuse!
Is that so?
Yui i genuinely thought he agreed because he was hungry, and that he thought it would be delicious.
Well, you two look like you get along pretty well.
Lady Wang pleasantly smiled at the sight of them whispering together in low voices.
We only talked around three tis, though.
As expected, was this number enough for two people to beco friends? Yui i doubted it. That person also had a complicated expression, so he must be thinking the sa thing.
Please co in, I also prepared so tea.
Thank you very much.
The two of them respectfully gave thanks to Lady Wangs favor, when suddenly, a person ca.
Seems fun.
A voice called out in the garden, and a man, who seed to be forty-five years of age, walked towards them along with his attendants.
A lot of people ca today.
..!
Libin suddenly forced Yui i to bow down.
What are you doing!?
Yui i hissed as she tried to resist Libin, but he pushed her head down with greater strength.
Shut up, its His Majesty, the emperor!
Libin murmured.
Yes?

T/L Thoughts: Lol at Yui is thought process. She thought Libin was the sa as her, being the glutton that she was. So cute ? And now, the emperor appears! What will Yui i do? ?
