Chapter 9 – Title – Chapter 11

Wei-gugu… loves Su-gonggong? Until she returned to the back room of the Hall of Heavenly Virtue, Hui Ming couldn’t get this thought out of her mind and it remained stuck there.

Was it true? Was there such a rumor between the two of them in the last life? Hui Ming couldn’t help but think about it carefully, but even if she split her head, she couldn’t recall any evidence that could prove the truth of the matter—— Please read at insidethemirror translations. DO NOT REPOST.

The attention and concern she paid to Su-gonggong in her previous life, was really too little.

It’s just… Wei-gugu? It’s not that she wasn’t good, and the duty of serving in the bedchamber was the most grueling task, night after night one had to stay up late, that even the best face would easily decline, so over the years, the royal palace maids that served in the bedroom had come and gone like flowing water, and it was only Wei-gugu who could earn such a status in the future, just looking at this point alone shows that she wasn’t bad, although Wei-gugu’s appearance was not astounding, she was gentle and pleasant, she spoke and acted in a gentle and considerate manner, which belonged to the category of a pretty daughter in a humble family and the most comfortable to get along with, although she was seven or eight years older than Su-gonggong, it was not obvious because of her appearance, and becoming a pair with Su-gonggong, they could be called a well-matched good looking pair…

No, that wasn’t right! Hui Ming abruptly shook her head, although Su-gonggong looked cold and desolate, he was a perfect gentleman on the inside, how could such a person like Wei-gugu that spouted honeyed word with a sword in her belly, saying one thing but meaning something different could be worthy? Hui Ming bit her lips, after thinking about this, she consciously found the reason for the inexplicable feeling in her heart——

Not to mention, Wei-gugu was whom His Majesty bestowed a marriage to a distinguished person to! If this matter was made known to His Majesty, how could Su-gonggong end up well? Even if he was usually trusted, it would still cost him his life!

Fortunately, on Su-gonggong’s side, he should have no intention of being with Wei-gugu, right?

After thinking about it again, she confirmed this, since Su-gonggong’s attitude towards Wei-gugu was no different from that of how he treated others, so she herself was not the culprit for a misunderstanding between a pair of lovers, Hui Ming unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Su-gonggong was not deceived by Wei-gugu’s deceptive pretense, nor did she inadvertently owe even more.

“Hui-gugu?”

The call outside the curtain made Hui Ming recover from her absent-mindedness, and looking up, it turned out to be Yuan Bao who had a smile on his face.

“The tea room had sorted out the old tea leaves from last year, Master said it was a pity to throw it away, and ordered to divide it up, this was specially reserved for Gugu.” Yuan Bao smiled and held a small square porcelain cup then directly placed in on the table in front of Hui Ming’s eyes.

Since he said that everyone had a portion, Hui Ming naturally wouldn’t refuse, after she took it, she just smiled and said, “I’ve troubled you in specially sending it to me.”

“It’s as it should.” Yuan Bao bowed slightly: “There is one more thing I wanted to tell Gugu, the palace attendant Bai Hao, because of her conduct of starting rumors to create trouble, Master had her sent back to the Palace Affairs Office.”

So fast? Hui Ming was shocked, inside the Hall of Heavenly Virtue, who didn’t know that Bai Hao was very loyal to Wei-gugu? Wei-gugu at the bottom of her heart didn’t care about the other palace maids, but if Su-gonggong directly sent them away like this, it was really openly slapping Wei-gugu in the face, how could Wei-gugu agree?

Thinking of this, Hui Ming couldn’t help feel uneasy, fearing that Su-gonggong because of her would have a disagreement with Wei-gugu, Yuan Bao seemed to have seen Hui Ming’s worry: “Gugu don’t worry, Wei-gugu also agreed to this matter, she is aware of Bai Hao’s wild arrogance, and that Gugu had been wronged.”

Wei-gugu also agreed? Hui Ming was even more surprised, was it really that Bai Hao acted on her own and also made Wei-gugu cross, or… does Wei-gugu really adore Su-gonggong, so she couldn’t bear such humiliation?

Thinking about this, Hui Ming’s complexion became more and more complex, and she became speechless for a while, then hearing Yuan Bao who was in front of her continue: “It’s just that Bai Hao’s position had become vacant, so Qiu Ya would be replacing her, and would trouble Gugu to be a bit more exhausted, you will have to do your duty alone for a few days, after a couple of days I will personally choose someone new to come over.”

“That’s fine.” Hui Ming finally recovered, this was because of the trouble she caused, so she quickly responded: “Attending to the jewelries even with a person lacking is of little weight, it’s nothing.”

Yuan Bao smiled again: “Gugu has only arrived not long ago, and Qiu Ya is not present, so if there’s anything you don’t understand about your duty, you can just go ask Xu-momo.”

Xu-momo was also the female attendant in charge in serving the emperor, in terms of years she was much older than Wei-gugu, but although she was at the same level with Wei-gugu, because of her age, she wasn’t particularly active in taking charge, and had earlier withdrawn to an advisory position in the Hall of Heavenly Virtue, she was also well-regarded as inferior to Wei-gugu’s position of a distinguished master.

But in any case, Xu-momo’s status was still there, and it seemed that towards an imperial palace maid that dared to offend Wei-gugu, to supervise her, indeed there was still one Xu-momo left, not to mention, if she could please Xu-momo after, the remaining ladies in the Hall of Heavenly Virtue wouldn’t dare to isolate and embarrass her too much. Please read at insidethemirror translations. DO NOT REPOST.

Although she knew that this was Su-gonggong’s particular consideration and kindness, she didn’t want Su-gonggong to give her more favors, secondly, she didn’t care about being alienated and isolated by others, not to mention that she was General Lü Meng of southern Wu1 not long ago, so towards the affairs in the imperial palace it had long been perfectly clear to her, that’s why although she had agreed at the moment, in her heart she had no plans of troubling Xu-momo.

But who knew that although Hui Ming didn’t take the initiative to trouble Xu-momo, when she returned to her room after her duty, Xu-momo was already waiting for her.

In the room, Qiu Ya had packed up her things and went to Bai Hao’s abode, and Xu-momo was sitting on Qiu Ya’s bed with a straight back, quietly looking at this small wooden room.

Hui Ming was taken aback, then when she recovered, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet.

Xu-momo was a meticulous married woman with a wide forehead and square face, and her whole person looked tidy, after seeing Hui Ming, she slightly smiled: “I have waited all day, and still didn’t see you, so thinking of your disposition, I feared that you won’t take the initiative to come and seek me out, and it seems that it’s true.”

Hearing the other party’s thoughts, Hui Ming’s face couldn’t help but blush, she quickly turned around and brought a cup of hot tea for her: “How could I, I’m just afraid to hastily rush, I’m afraid that I’ll trouble Momo.”

“Oh? Isn’t it because you don’t want to shoulder more of Su-gonggong’s feelings?” Xu-momo took the tea cup and faintly asked.

Hui Ming was stunned when she heard these words, but Xu-momo had already placed the tea cup in her hand on the wooden table, and stood up: “No matter what you think, since I have already accepted Steward Su entrusting you to me, so this must be done, when you go to your errands tomorrow, you follow me, and see if anyone would dare to trouble you?”

Hui Ming opened her mouth and was about to refuse, but Xu-momo already knew what she wanted to say: “You need to know that it’s not easy to serve in front of the emperor, but it’s not difficult to be implicated, without me to take you, others will find several faults in you, then wouldn’t Su-gonggong have to come forward and clean it up? What kind of scene would that be?”

Of course Hui Ming knew the current situation, and Wei-gugu and the others were very likely to cause trouble for her, but Su-gonggong’s identity was in front of her, so it’s impossible to blame her with any groundless accusations, even if someone dug a hole, she also needed to jump in by herself so that this fault could be realized.

And Hui Ming relied on the point that she had been a female attendant in charge serving His Majesty for more than ten years, so what kind of trickery had she never seen before? As long as she was alert and careful, she wouldn’t fall in these pits!

Hui Ming was self-confident in her heart, otherwise with her temperament, she would neither be negligent.

It’s just for her to have this previous knowledge, it wasn’t easy for Hui Ming to talk about, not to mention that Xu-momo had already said so much, and she would just come out as being unreasonable if she still refused, so she nodded and immediately thanked her at the moment, however listening to the other party, it seemed that she was really familiar with Su-gonggong, then after thinking about it, she couldn’t help but ask: “Su-gonggong, how did he request this of a respected elder such as you?”

Xu-momo footsteps paused and replied with her back facing Hui Ming: “I can also be regarded as a person who watched him grow up, so for such a small matter, what is there to request.”

Watch Su-gonggong grow up? But didn’t Su-gonggong come as an official slave? How can Xu-momo who was in the palace watch him grow up? Hui Ming felt that it was a little strange, but when she wanted to ask more, Xu-momo had already lifted the curtain and left, Hui Ming’s questions rushed to her lips, and when she saw this swallowed it all back.

No matter, they would be doing errands together tomorrow, and there would still be opportunities. Thinking about it this way, Hui Ming just took this matter in earnest and remembered it in her heart, then pressed it down and didn’t mention it anymore. Please read at insidethemirror translations.
