章節 46: Invitation for the empress

"Her Highness is Princess Cheng?" One of the three close attendants questioned Huan, their lips gaped from surprise.

"Yes, didn't you hear her when she introduced herself?" Huan questioned, how can the maids be so clueless? 

"We missed it because we were too excited, old sister, you don't know how hard it is to live as maids of a sick Empress. We don't blame Her Majesty, but the imperial Palace is too cruel, right, Sister Nu?," another maid said.

"Hupo, don't say like that, but big sister, she is speaking the truth, whatever our Empress is supposed to get according to her title is send to the Imperial Noble Consort. We tried so hard to make things right, but our humble status made us compromise," the third maid explained.

"Yes, if not for our Crown Prince, we would have been sent to cleaning department and Her Majesty would have starved," Attendant Hupo said, they continued walking around.
