The morning lights entered through the opened window through which the prince had entered.
The Princess Ling snapped opened her eyes. She looked around to find herself in a strange place covered decorated in red.
Suddenly, it hit her mind that, of course the room would be in red because it was her new room after her 'deathly' marriage with the prince.
She looked upwards to find the prince but he was not there. She looked around and found there were even not a single trace of him coming in the room.
She stood up and saw outside carefully through the window. She saw that it was early in the morning.
She prepared a bath for herself and changed her clothes. She made her hair in a sophisticated look and also wear the most important thing the veil.
She was waiting for the servants to come and wake her up but no one came. Even Ji Mu was not there.
She understood that it must be the Butler that made the servants to ignore me and also caught Ji Mu in the place.
It was a good thing that she was used to live alone and do all her work by herself due to the headache called 'veil'. She would stay alone and remove her veil and would do her work happily.
This worked helped a lot. She understood that they wanted to make her late for the tea offering ceremony. 'So lame trick.', she yawned.
' I am feeling hungry. These servants... Huff.'
She went out. There was no one in the courtyard.
She secretly sneaked to the next courtyard. She roamed all over the mansion where there were no one or less guards.
In the end, she found the kitchen and the place where they had caught Ji Mu.
She first went to fill her stomach because Ji Mu would not be in danger and her stomach would start to cry .
" I have made this special soup full vessel for the princess. ", said a younger chef.
" Why?"asked the older one.
" Master, didn't you say that a bride must be fed with nutrious food after her nupital night.", replied the innocent one.
" That... we will not need as the prince did not even returned the mansion, thats why.", he said softly in the ear.
"Oh... remove this pot. "
They both went out and she entered.
" These rumors... my reputation .. haa .. now I will be a laughing stock without first night and look pitiful. ", she mumbled.
" This is made for me , so takimg it , is not a crime.", she put the soup in other vessel and left the kitchen.
"Mhm~ .. its tast...", she said while eating. She was sitting on top branch of the tree in the garden which was near the place where Ji Mu was.
She finished quickly and left. She subdued the guards around the door.
" Miss..." , she stood from the floor.
She bowed. She was fine that mean that they did not hit her.
"Hum, Mu'er listen to me. You know everything about me right. I am going to ask you something.", she said.
After some time.......
The Second Prince returned to the mansion. He ordered the Butler to tell Prince Consort to get ready for the Tea ceremony.
' Prince Second is so filial, why has he married to that arrogant woman ? Humph, she would have got her lesson as not meeting her husband at their fight night and waiting for them so long. She deserves it....', he sneered.
He instructed two maids to get the princess to wake up and get her ready. He told them to do it more slowly so that she might not be able to get the breakfast.
The maids laughed and entered the courtyard.
The knocked on the door and entered it. They found the new bride lying near the window , it told that she must have been waiting for the prince while looking outside tge window and slept there.
The woman in the red stood up. She was wearing the red veil which was thrown last night.
She got ready and instructed the two maids to stay outside and prepare her clothes as she had a bath.
Soon, they were sent out of the courtyard. She instructed them to bring her the personal dowry maid who had followed her into the mansion.
" What does this princess look like ?", one of the maids asked the two.
"We can not see it.", replied the duo.
" What! Why?"
" That woman was covering her face under the veil that we were not able to see it. Even, she made us prepare an extra veil matching with her dress.", one of tgem said in a low voice.
" Why does she wear a veil ?", they were curious.
"May be she is very ugly or have a scar , thats why she is ashamed to show her face..", they gossiped.
" Who knows...."
" But , I have heard that the princess is very beautiful abd has a mighty aura. I even noticed it when she had entered the mansion..."
" Hum, blah blah."
Tgere is a famous saying, 'The gossips of women especially maids never ends.'
I hope you understand.
Butler Tu P.O.V.,
" That woman.... alright. Send her that maid. But keep a close eye on both of them. Remember, they are from the cruel Yan, we have to keep them opressed and not allow them to rule in our nation." , he instructed tge maids and the guards.
