The palace maid was terrified. She said in fear, "Princess, you have to get His Majesty's permission to leave the palace. Otherwise, you will be punished by the palace rules!"
Princess Changle thought nothing of it. "Brother dotes on me so much. He won't punish me. Let's go."
The palace maid didn't listen. The emperor would not punish the princess, but he would definitely punish her. If she allowed the princess to leave the palace, she might be beaten to death.
She was so frightened that she knelt down and said with a sobbing tone, "Princess, please don't leave the palace. It's dangerous outside."
Princess Changle's patience ran out. She shouted, "Are you leaving or not?"
The palace maid begged, "Princess, let's ask His Majesty first and wait for his approval before leaving the palace, okay?"
Princess Changle was immediately displeased. "Are you serving the emperor or me?"
The palace maid quickly said, "I'm your servant."
