The head maid stopped Sui outside the threshold of the main palace for Concubine Rose. Her eyes were hard, indicating no need or place for Sui to enter.
The inner moonlit palace was not inhabitable but was far from the standards the nobility usually liked.
Moreover, concubines make a fuss to indicate their superiority, even when not favoured.
Sui had not expected anything from Concubine Rose, so these words surprised her.
She tried to look at Concubine Rose's expression to gauge whether the Concubine was right without having any maids around her.
But the lady had turned her head to the entrance, leaving Sui with no choice but to follow that given order.
"Since you look ready to serve us well, go to the kitchen and bring us breakfast. When you bring it back, ensure it is fresh and warm."
