The Chief Palace Maid, Lady Yefei, came to the room allotted to Chuntao with her two assistants. Chuntao, who was tidying her clothes, left the work and stood straight in front of Lady Yefei. She had lowered her eyes as she heard Lady Yefei speaking to her.
"You will not work for the Fourth Prince. You are transferred to work in the Empress's manor," Lady Yefei informed her. Chuntao lifted her eyes, but then immediately lowered them.
"Lady Yefei, I am brought to the Palace by the Fourth Prince and was told to work for him for a year," Chuntao skeptically enquired.
"This is the Palace. Since the accession of the new Empress, several things have changed in the Palace upon her orders. Are you raising question on the decision taken by her majesty?" Lady Yefei's expressions were stern, and it appeared that as the Chief Palace Maid, she was also not happy seeing Chuntao working for the Fourth Prince.
