You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

"What\'s going on? This matter has spread throughout the palace. Prince Ye\'s fiancée will become the prince\'s wife in the future. They just entered the bedroom together; who knows, they might be doing intimate things right now," a palace maid said with an envious expression, wishing she could also receive such a favour.

"Get lost, don\'t be shameless."

"You say I\'m shameless, but do you also like Prince Ye?"

"Prince Ye is so handsome; of course, I like him."

Yi Yi, hiding under the blanket, overheard everything. Just a moment ago, she was filled with happiness, and now her heart ached.

They all thought Ye Ye and that girl were a perfect match, talking and laughing together.

Moreover...

Moreover, they entered the bedroom together. No, Ye Ye did this intentionally. He had just reminded her; it must be like this. She had to understand Ye Ye.

As Yi Yi finished her thoughts, she suddenly felt a chill! Yi Yi sat up, touched her forehead, and found it wet, completely soaked in water. Her hair was drenched.

Several palace maids stood opposite, one of them holding a wooden bucket.

"Oh, I didn\'t hold it steady, sorry about that," the maid who splashed water said in a sarcastic tone, clearly envious of Yi Yi\'s beauty.

Yi Yi touched her soaked bedding, whispered, "It\'s okay."

With these words, the palace maids paused for a moment and then burst into laughter, realising that Yi Yi was like a fool.

Yi Yi sat up, hugged her bedding, planning to take it out to dry. However, these extremely jealous palace maids wouldn\'t let Yi Yi off so easily.

As Yi Yi approached, one of them stretched out her foot. Yi Yi didn\'t notice and was tripped to the ground.

"Ah!"

Yi Yi exclaimed in pain. The bedding that was just wet was now dirty, and even her clothes were stained.

"Oh my, Yi Yi, why are you so clumsy? Pay attention when walking," the palace maid said with a malicious tone, making her disdain clear.

Yi Yi lowered her head slightly and whispered, "I\'m sorry."

The palace maids, with scornful smiles, secretly cursed her as a fool. They wanted to ruin that face, finding it annoying to look at – a vixen!

Walking outside, Yi Yi heard the disdainful murmurs from inside the room. She sighed in relief; everyone seemed to dislike her.

\'Am I really that unlikeable?\'

Carrying a basin of clear water, Yi Yi washed her bedding in the cold night wind.

Suddenly, the mirror inside her clothes vibrated slightly, accompanied by a faint voice.

"Yi Yi, Yi Yi."

Hearing Ye Juetian\'s voice, Yi Yi\'s mood improved instantly. She quickly took out the small mirror.

"Ye Ye!" Yi Yi joyfully exclaimed.

Ye Juetian lay on the bed, furrowing his brows as he saw Yi Yi\'s wet hair in the mirror. It was so late; why was she still outside?

"What happened? Your hair is all wet?" Ye Juetian asked with concern.

"Oh, just took a bath a moment ago. My hair hasn\'t dried yet. Ye Ye, you don\'t need to worry." Although full of grievances, Yi Yi didn\'t say it, not wanting to trouble Ye Juetian. She felt like a big nuisance.

Ye Juetian looked distressed. "Yi Yi, don\'t stay outside so late. Hurry back to your room and sleep. The night temperature is low."

"Yeah, I know, Ye Ye," Yi Yi nodded, seeming to want to ask something but hesitating.

Ye Juetian seemed to understand what Yi Yi was thinking, so he shook the mirror. "Yi Yi, I sleep alone."

Seeing Ye Juetian sleeping alone, Yi Yi smiled. She felt foolish; how could Ye Ye lie to her?

"Yeah, I know," Yi Yi replied softly.

"Yi Yi, I suddenly miss you," Ye Juetian truly wanted to hold this gentle and delicate girl in his arms and protect her for a lifetime.

Yi Yi suddenly revealed a breathtaking smile. Ye Juetian could swear it was the nicest smile he had ever seen.

"Ye Ye, I miss you too."

Ye Juetian suddenly felt that his heart was tightly connected to Yi Yi, as if they could never be separated. It felt wonderful.

"Yi Yi, go back to sleep now, or you\'ll catch a cold."

"Yeah, I\'ll go back to sleep right away."

"Be obedient." Ye Juetian reached out and touched the image of Yi Yi in the mirror, his face filled with doting.

Yi Yi nodded. "I\'ll always listen to you."

"Good girl."

After ending the connection, Ye Juetian put away the mirror, a happy smile on his face as he drifted into sleep.

Likewise, Yi Yi slowly put away the mirror, wearing a smile, and washed away all the stains from her bedding.

Finally finished, Yi Yi sighed and walked back to the dormitory.

The bedding was gone...

Yi Yi had no choice but to crawl onto her bed, curling up her body. Despite the cold, her heart felt warm because Ye Juetian was in it.

The next day, before dawn, Yi Yi woke up because she had to prepare for work.

"Ha-chu~"

Yi Yi, holding a broom, couldn\'t help but sneeze, thinking she might have caught a cold last night.

"What\'s wrong?" Daji passed by and asked.

Yi Yi quickly lowered her head. "Nothing."

"Be careful today, don\'t be clumsy again. You understand?" Daji advised. Various things were broken yesterday, and it seemed the master\'s mother had some opinions. If it continued like this, they might need to find someone else to serve in the room.

Yi Yi, with an anxious expression, said, "Yes, I will definitely improve."

Daji nodded, "I\'ll go prepare breakfast, tidy up the room a bit, and serve the Empress Dowager."

"Yes," Yi Yi respectfully replied. The Empress Dowager was Ye Ye\'s mother, so she must have given her a good impression. She had made many mistakes yesterday, and although the Empress Dowager hadn\'t said anything, Yi Yi felt a bit blamed.

She had to do things properly.

Seeing the Empress Dowager preparing to get up, Yi Yi hurried over to attend to her.

Le Jing watched Yi Yi carefully and said softly, "Yi Yi, take your time, don\'t be nervous."

Yi Yi, who was busy arranging Le Jing\'s clothes, was stunned. The Empress Dowager didn\'t blame her at all, and even comforted her. That was great.

"Empress Dowager, I\'m clumsy and broke many things yesterday," Yi Yi admitted her mistake proactively, which relieved Le Jing. A child who admits their mistakes bravely is a good child.

Le Jing smiled softly and said, "Just be more careful in the future."

"Yes, I understand," Yi Yi was touched. Ye Ye\'s mother was really kind to her, so she should be good to Ye Ye\'s mother too.

Le Jing nodded, "First, go and prepare the medicine for me. I\'ll drink it later."

"Yes, I\'ll go now."

"Wait."

"Is there anything else the Empress Dowager wishes to instruct?" Yi Yi turned and asked, confused.

Curiously, Le Jing asked, "Did Daji tell you how to prepare the medicine?"

"Yes, she did."

Le Jing nodded, "Then go ahead."
