64~ Distracting Thoughts~
"Mm mm..."
The little Princess sat in a chair playing with the cats. She hadn't seen the Empress during times other than sleeping and eating for two or three days already.
She could guess why. It was probably because this matter of temporarily changing the marching direction and attack target had made her busy again.
Thinking about it now, why would the Empress agree to her request? The only reasons she could find seemed to be that she valued her talent, or her body... but she felt neither was very likely. This was directly reversing the direction of troop deployment, you know?
What exactly was the reason?
She couldn't figure it out.
"What is Your Highness thinking about?"
"Nothing."
Presumably with Xiyan's small brain, she couldn't figure out such a profound problem.
"If Your Highness has anything unhappy, you can tell me?"
"Mm mm mm..."
The little Princess responded perfunctorily.
For this kind of question, it would be more reliable to ask the Maid Ling.
But if she went to ask, would that really be okay? Would Ling misunderstand something?
Speaking of which, what had she been randomly thinking about these past few days!? When the Empress had time, couldn't she just directly ask!?
The little Princess patted her cheeks, then immediately decided not to think about this matter anymore. She should just live the present life well. Rather than thinking about this, she might as well think about how she was about to turn eighteen, and whether the Empress would take her first blood on that day.
"Xiyan, help me brew another pot of tea, thank you."
"Oh oh..."
Xiyan obediently carried the already empty teapot toward the kitchen.
"Ling?"
"What is it, Your Highness?"
"Why do you think Fei agreed to me?"
The little Princess asked somewhat gloomily.
She was the one who proposed it, she was the one who begged the Empress, and now she was the one feeling gloomy. She didn't understand why she was like this either. She only knew that since that day, she seemed to have broken...
Yes, what exactly did the Empress see in her?
The Maid Ling hesitated to speak. After some hesitation, she still didn't give an answer.
"It would be better for you to directly ask Her Majesty about this kind of matter."
"Is that so?"
"Her Majesty will definitely give you an answer."
The Maid Ling comforted.
She didn't dare carelessly speak about this kind of matter involving feelings. What if she accidentally ruined Her Majesty the Empress's good fortune? Then she could only apologize with death.
The little Princess lay on the table playing with a teacup. After playing for a while, she felt somewhat bored.
"Then take me to the garden to clear my mind."
Always being cooped up in the bedchamber, she felt she was about to develop problems. Maybe if she went out to clear her mind, she'd see things clearly?
"Carry me over."
Walking over was too tiring. She didn't want to walk herself. Last time walking back to the bedchamber with Xiyan from the southwest gate of the Imperial City's outer city almost exhausted her to death. She was going out to clear her mind, not to find abuse.
"Alright."
The Maid Ling picked her up in a princess carry and walked out of the bedchamber door.
Before long, the loli maid Xiyan came into the bedchamber carrying a pot of tea...
"Eh? Where is Your Highness?"
The black tea she had just brewed!
Looks like she could only drink it herself again...
Being placed on the ground, the little Princess first looked at the sea of flowers for a while, thinking this beautiful scene should be able to dilute her current distracting thoughts. Unexpectedly, as she looked, the wind passed by her ears, as if it could speak, telling her: "Does she really like you? Or does she feel you have more use value that makes it worth her while to do this?"
Enough already!
The little Princess was somewhat annoyed. Why did she have to be troubled by this thought?
"Forget it, Ling, just carry me on your back and walk around the outer city."
The outer city's landscape construction was no less than the inner city, so wandering around the outer city wasn't bad either.
Lying on the Maid Ling's back wandering around, she suddenly discovered her distracting thoughts hadn't disappeared, but had instead intensified somewhat.
"...Take me back to the bedchamber."
After coming out for merely a quarter hour, the little Princess already couldn't continue wandering. The distracting thoughts in her head were getting bigger and bigger. She might as well lie in bed and sleep!
"Alright, Your Highness."
The Maid Ling didn't ask much. As early as two and a half days ago, she had noticed her Highness was somewhat off, and her attitude toward the Empress also seemed to have some subtle changes.
She could roughly guess what happened between the two, but she really wasn't in a good position to intervene in emotional matters. In the end, she could only give an answer that wasn't really an answer.
"When will Fei finish being busy?"
"Maybe this afternoon, maybe tonight. Her Majesty has pretty much finished. If nothing unexpected happens, at the latest tonight you can have a good chat with Her Majesty."
"Is that so?"
The little Princess furrowed her brows, appearing very unsatisfied.
Then she'd just honestly stay put for a while. At worst, she'd just sleep first.
The little Princess thought as she lay back on the bed, but no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep. This worry constantly tormented her nerves. It tormented her while eating, tormented her while playing with cats, tormented her while sleeping. Even when using the toilet, it made her so irritable she wanted to punch the air a couple times.
So annoying!
This worry tormented her until evening.
The little Princess lay on the bed without any image, just like a cat that had played itself into exhaustion. She had just punched and kicked the pillow for a while before dispelling a trace of worry.
"Mo?"
"Mm mm?"
Hearing it was the Empress returning, the little Princess hurriedly sat up.
"I heard Mo missed me a lot today?"
The Empress asked with a smile.
"Who missed you? It's just that there's a question I need to ask you!"
"Is that so? Then what question is it?"
"It's just..."
"Continue."
"Mm..."
"What?"
Under the Empress's pressing questions, the little Princess finally admitted defeat, letting the Empress hold her to eat dinner, then bathe.
Finally, after some hesitation, the little Princess tentatively opened her mouth while bathing:
"Fei, what exactly do you see in me?"
"Mm? What do you mean?"
The Empress pretended not to understand and asked.
Mo: "..."
"Pfft~ forget it, forget it, I won't tease you anymore."
Rubbing the little Princess's cheeks, the Empress continued:
"I like everything about Mo."
"Mm..."
This sentence was almost like a confession...
"Is that so...?"
The little Princess's cheeks turned completely red, half her face soaking in the water, letting the Empress wash her hair.
If her whole person were lifted out of the water, it would probably verify a saying: her face was as red as a boiling teapot.
"Does Mo like me?"
After thinking for a moment, the little Princess said:
"I don't like you."
"Why?"
"Not liking is just not liking. There aren't so many whys."
"Really?"
"Of course it's real!"
The little Princess said in an affirmative tone.
She admitted she did indeed have some thoughts about the Empress, but those were absolutely based on her lsp psychology. She only had that kind of psychology because the Empress was indeed beautiful.
Right, it must be like this! How could she possibly like this hentai Empress who kept teasing people at every turn?
"But I heard Mo thought about me all day long?"
The little Princess stopped talking. She discovered that when arguing with the Empress, she was always at a disadvantage. What to do when she couldn't win the argument? Then she might as well just directly close her mouth.
As long as she didn't open the conversation box and had nothing to say, then she wouldn't lose the argument to the Empress!
Hmph, liking this hentai Empress or something, that was simply impossible, okay!
