Li Xueyue wasn't surprised to see the wide variety of dishes laid out before her. The maidservant was polite and courteous, never once saying a word.
The food came in all shapes, colors, and aroma, but Li Xueyue wasn't hungry. She drank the soup but lacked the appetite to try the other dishes. It was so strange. She likely hadn't eaten anything substantial since the bandit incident.
"Princess Li, if I may speak," the maidservant in her late forties requested.
Li Xueyue felt strange that someone so much older than her was showing this much respect. She had been telling herself to get used to it for a while now, but it was difficult to do so, even in Wuyi.
"What is it, Yanxi?" she asked while lifting one of the leafy greens into her mouth. It was salty with a hint of sweetness that brought out the taste of the vegetable.
Li Xueyue wanted to know Yanxi's family name, but it seemed like the servants didn't have one.
