Chapter 36: TGP: The Party

The day that Liam has been waiting for finally came.

The General's Residence was busy the entire day. Some weird design was all over the place. The lanterns designed were unique in that the servants were guessing what the lantern was portraying.

A bunch of painters was in every corner of the pavilion. Liam hired them as a photographer.

The servants' slash make-up team was ready in their positions.

"Lady, Master Ren was calling for you." A servant who was wearing a strange design of clothing like every other servant went near to Liam.

Liam's eyes sparkled.

"Is he already done changing?" She asked.

The servant kept glancing at Liam's clothes then back to her face. The servant had done it multiple times as she found it unbelievable what she was seeing.

"I haven't seen it, Lady. Since Master forbids us to enter his room."

"I see." Liam nodded. Ren Shou was probably shy wearing that.

The servant announced her arrival.

"Wangfei! Come here! There must be a mistake!" Ren Shou's frantic voice sounded in the room.

Liam maintained her calm face as she entered and answered back.

"No. I won't make that kind of mistake."

Then she saw Ren Shou. A beautiful Ren Shou.

"Oh my goodness!" Liam squealed excitedly.

Ren Shou had his eyes wide as he looked back at Liam up and down.

"There is really a mistake!"

*****

The sun was about to set when people in luxurious carriage came into the Ren residence one by one.

The ministers were still wearing their official clothes as they stood in the gate of the Ren Residence.

They had received instruction from the letter that Lady Liam sent to walk from the gate to the pavilion. Some Ministers want to complain about it, but since the emperor favored Lady Ren, they had no choice but to follow.

As the gate opened, their eyes were immediately drawn to the lanterns at the pathway. Those were unique lanterns. The lanterns had eyes, nose, and mouth. They look like a face with bear ears. Some were cat ears. It varies differently as the ministers walked through the pathway.

At the pavilion entrance, an old lady who was wearing strange clothing was standing in the middle. There was a stick in her hands. There was a pair of wings in her back.

"Ministers, welcome, in the Ren Residence. I am your fairy godmother for today." Aunt Min smiled at these old men. She was really into her role as she received an excellent task from her Lady Liam. She memorized her script very well.

Then she pointed at the box in front of her.

"Every one of you has a wish in your hearts that was now deeply buried within your soul. Let me help you find it and fulfill that wish." Aunt Min said with a gentle smile.

"What nonsense is this? Lady Ren is supposed to greet us. Why a Mama is here instead?" One of the officials said with ridicule. They first walked from the gate to here. Now they have to listen to this nonsense from this old servant?

"Oh, you would like to volunteer? Come here, little one, you will be the first one whose wish will be answered." Aunt Min had no fear against these men. She continued her script. She really felt like she was a fairy.

Then she picked up a paper in the box.

Gasped. She let out a shock gasped.

The officials looked at her weirdly.

"Please call Lady Ren and the General. We have been waiting here. Are they making fun of us?" Said a middle-aged man.

"Oh, you want to be next? Very well, but let me fulfill the first wish." Aunt Mai was really following Liam's assigned role to her very well.

Then she pointed her stick to the first official who complained earlier.

"Your wish to become an ice queen will be granted." As soon as she finished that sentence. A group of servants wearing maid's clothing in the eastern country ran forward and picked up that official.

"Hey! Where are you dragging me?! This is a crime! How dare you, little servants-" His voice was cut off as he was swallowed by the pavilion. The door closed.

The officials were speechless by the sudden turn of events. What was that?

"Okay! His wish would be fulfilled. Don't worry. You will all see that once you enter the pavilion. So, who's next? Oh, right, you."

The second official who spoke earlier shook his head firmly.

Liam peeked at the entrance toward the bamboo window.

She did not make any mistake to let the strong and stubborn woman Aunt Min guarded the entrance and made the minister changed their clothes. Aunt Min was really great and was not taking no as an answer.

"Young Mi- Lady Ren, are you sure that the Ren Residence would have peaceful connections with the officials after this?" Xiao Min asked worriedly. She, too, was wearing strange clothing.

"Besides-" Xiao Min looked at the room where Ren Shou was currently held in. He passed out with one move from Liam. And how Liam did that was very despicable. When Ren Shou was complaining about changing his clothes, Liam comforted him that everything would be fine. Then Ren Shou, who trusted Liam blindly, was hit by Liam on his neck. And he passed out.

Xiao Mei sighed. Her Young Miss naughtiness did not lessen but became worst after she was married. She even dragged the General, the Ministers, and the emperor in her craziness! Sigh. However, Xiao Min was unexpectedly calm. Maybe because she saw too much in the past, her heart grew strong in unexpected situations.

"Fufufu~ Aunt Min is really great. All the ministers are now ready. The Emperor and the Empress are the only ones left. Sigh, why important figure always wanted to be late? I was not even like that in the past."

Xia Mei sighed again. Her Young Miss was not even a bit afraid of making fun of the Emperor and the Empress.

"What are we going to do now, Lady Ren?"

Liam's handsome face looked at her. Xiao Mei's heart skipped a beat. She could not really get used to Liam's look today.

"We will wait once the Emperor and the Empress arrived. That's when the real party will begin. Hehe~"
