Episode 4
The night was long for Liufei. It was her first time sleeping away from her family.
Liufei
(Thinking) I wonder how they’re doing?
Liufei was curled up in a ball as she rest her chin on her knees, tears nearly escaping her eyes. After a long while, she felt the morning breeze brush through her hair as it squeezed through the window.
Liufei
(Thinking) it’s finally morning.
Liufei was the first to get up out of bed amongst the other maids. She washed up and headed to the kitchen where she picked up the cook book.
It was exactly where she had saw it yesterday.
Flipping through the pages, Liufei’s mouth watered at the dishes. She had only had these dishes on special occasions when she was back her manor.
Liufei
Sweet and sour fish.
Although she was excited, she quickly came to realize that the food wasn’t for her. It never was for her.
Half heartily, Liufei picked a dish; with a wicker basket in one hand and the cook book in the other, Liufei headed to the pantry that was located in a small separate building outside.
Liufei
Onions... tomatoes...eggs...
Liufei jump at the sudden crash that came from the kitchen.
Liufei
(Thinking) is it an assassin?
Gently setting down the basket and book in hand, Liufei reached down to pick up the wood log before her.
Liufei
(Thinking) If I kill this assassin, will the prince and emperor notice me?
Another crash was heard from the kitchen.
Liufei
(Thinking) GU MAMA!!!
Hearing GuMama moan, Liufei took a peak in and saw her cheats fully exposed and a man stood before her, shoving his face into her.
Liufei
(Thinking) FIFTH PRINCE!
Liufei quickly hid herself again, scared to get caught.
Liufei
(Thinking) Wuming did say Gu Mama was the princes favorite bedchamber maid. If she’s a bed chamber maid, why are they in the kitchen and not the bed? I have to escape some how.
While in panic, Liufei had accidentally bump into her basket, causing a ruckus.
Gu Mama said as her heavy breathing came to a stop.
Liufei heard Gu Mamas footstep coming closer, she needs to hide.
From around the corner, Gu mama appeared.
Gu Mama
Who are you! Dare to sneak into the Blue Moon Manor.
Liufei
Gu Mama, it is I, Xiaosan. You had said I was in charge of the princes meals.
Gu Mama
Why are you hiding over here.
Liufei
I was grabbing some items for the princes breakfast.
Liufei said as she picked up the wicker basket. Gu Mama stared down Liufei who didn’t flinch before throwing a small pouch at her.
Gu Mama
Take this. Go buy some fresher items for breakfast today.
Liufei quickly rushed out of the kitchen, avoiding the fifth prince.
The fifth prince said as he was buttoning up his button.
Gu Mama
No one WangYe, she’s just a maid.
Fifth Prince
She’s kind of pretty.
Gu Mama quickly resume what her and the fifth prince left off but the fifth prince kept staring at Liufei as she disappeared into the distance.
