A few days had passed since the first encounter with the emperor.
Lets clean up !
Yui i was cleaning vigorously today, too.
She just t the emperor who was possibly her father, yet she was still calm.
I was shocked that my heart wasnt moved the slightest, even though I say so myself.
When the mont of the actual encounter with the emperor ca, Yui i expected it would be like the drama she watched in her previous life, with lines like That is my father! coupled with overflowing emotions.
However, when they actually t, she could only muster enough emotion to think that Ah, hmm, so thats the emperor.
They are my biological parents in this life, but I cant feel anything for them.
It was no wonder since she couldnt rember receiving any warmth from them. Her mother already passed away by the ti she developed an awareness, so she didnt have any special feelings toward her mom.
She died due to the fate of being a woman in the inner harem.
To Yui i, that information was all she was.
Her father was the sa. She never t him, and they were like heaven and earth, so it was only natural that she didnt feel anything for him.
She might seem heartless, but humans were generally like this. Rather than the parents who did not appear in her mories, she treasured i Na who gave her sweets more.
Yui is job for today was cleaning the corridors with another court lady. The corridors of the Inner Palace were very long, so even if the work was divided among a few people, the area they had to clean was still relatively huge.
If sobody slacked here, it would be really difficult to make up for the loss.
Yui i could already foresee her hardship should a slacker like i be assigned here. For the ti being, the other court lady in charge seed to be cleaning properly, so Yui i was relieved. She continued cleaning, and it was already noon by the ti she finished her charge.
Alright, break ti!
Yui i finished tidying up her tools, and she looked around for a place to rest. She spotted a boulder that was hard to see from the corridor. She promptly went to that stone and sat down. She removed her mask, and gulped water from the bamboo container.
Fufufu.
Yui i bead as she took a package from her bosom. It contained so delectable manju that she got from i Na.
Thank you for the food!
Yui i wanted to imdiately gobble her food. Just as she was about to sink her teeth into the manju
Rustle.
It was the sound of the thicket shaking behind her.
Is it an animal?
This was an expansive site, afterall.
No matter how good the managent was, there were instances when stray dogs, stray cats and sotis, even monkeys got in. Yui i deftly wrapped the manju again and placed it in her bosom. She did not want it to be snatched away by those animals.
She stared at the thicket, waiting for whoever it was to go away, but instead of leaving, she heard it approach.
Finally, it appeared.
Ah.
The one who poked his head out of the thicket was just a boy.
He didnt expect Yui i to be there, so he batted his big eyes. He had well grood black hair, and blue eyes.
The only children who lived inside the Inner Palace were the emperors, or the crown princes. The crown prince supposedly did not have a child yet. Then he must be one of the emperors children.
In that case, then this is
Yui i suddenly rembered her manners, and she hurriedly jumped off the boulder, and respectfully bowed her head.
I apologize for surprising you. I am just in the middle of taking a break.
The prince wordlessly climbed out of the thicket. He did not say anything regarding Yui is attitude.
She did not know where he ca from, but he was covered all over with leaves, although he was wearing magnificent and luxurious garnts.
Ahm, there are a lot of leaves sticking to you. Would you like to remove them?
?
She had a sense of discomfort, but she ignored it, and took out all the leaves.
Look, youre all clean now.
Thank you.
Yui i smiled brightly, so the boy gave thanks in a tiny voice.
Regardless, His Highness was a prince, so he could have walked normally through the corridors. Why would he go through the thicket to co to this hidden place?
Yui i was perplexed, then she rembered her uneasy feeling earlier.
Isnt this child too skinny? Children this age should be a little bit more rounded.
However, this prince was malnourished, and he had a sickly pallor.
What on earth was happening here?
Yui i held her suspicions, and they stared at each other wordlessly.
What are you doing?
A male voice ca from the corridor. Yui i directed her gaze towards it. It was the eunuch, whose appearance she had totally beco accustod to seeing.
Ah, Libin.
You, if youre taking a break then be more
Libin started to complain about Yui is resting place as he walked towards her. However, the princes figure entered his field of vision, and their eyes t for an instant.
Co here for a bit.
Libin beckoned to Yui i.
