Seeing the respectful attitude of the palace maids, Rong Qingqing couldn't keep a straight face any longer and had no choice but to get out of bed.
"I need to relieve myself."
The palace maid respectfully said, "A chamber pot has been prepared behind the screen. The princess can use it at any time if she needs to."
Rong Qingqing glanced at the beautiful floral and bird screen in the corner, paused, and coughed lightly, "You can all leave now. I like to be alone."
Upon hearing this, the palace maids understood, but dared not be negligent and respectfully withdrew.
Rong Qingqing got up and walked behind the screen.
Only then did they discover that behind the screen was a door leading to a large, clean room.
It was fully equipped, including a large bathtub, but it was dry at the moment.
There was a chamber pot in the corner.
toilet...
Rong Qingqing's gaze fell on the chamber pot, noticing the beautiful and delicate patterns carved on its surface; it was exceptionally beautiful and clean...
Her gaze paused for a moment, a complex feeling rising in her heart. Cleanliness was one thing, but why was a chamber pot made so beautifully?
The key point is that this chamber pot seems to be made of jade.
How is she supposed to pee like that?
That's such a waste!
"Someone come here!"
She stepped out of the purification room and called out aloud.
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the closed door was pushed open, and a palace maid rushed in, saying in a flustered manner, "Does the princess have any orders?"
Rong Qingqing pointed to the chamber pot behind the screen and asked, "Are all the chamber pots in the palace made of jade?"
The palace maid paused for a moment, then shook her head. "Of course not, only Yu Xian Palace has it."
Rong Qingqing frowned. So, it was Xie Jingrun who arranged this?
That guy is so wasteful. Even if he has money, he shouldn't burn it like that.
"Um, could you get me a new one?" she said, then, as if remembering something, she quickly added, "It has to be wooden."
A hint of doubt flashed across the palace maid's face, but she didn't ask any further questions. She respectfully replied, "This servant will go and prepare immediately."
Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her leave. She then walked to the window and tried to open it, but she couldn't budge it. She pushed it again with all her might, but the window remained unmoved.
She frowned.
Could the windows be sealed up?
Thinking of this, she was speechless.
Xie Jingrun went to great lengths to prevent her from running away again.
But he didn't even consider how someone who had no martial arts skills could possibly escape from the palace.
Somewhat discouraged, she squatted down in the corner.
Before long, the palace maid returned, bringing with her the chamber pot she had specified.
Upon seeing Rong Qingqing crouching against the wall, the palace maid was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Is the princess feeling unwell?"
"I'm not feeling unwell." Seeing her tense expression, Rong Qingqing sighed, stood up, and pointed to the screen.
The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, placed the chamber pot into the washroom as instructed, and then came out and said respectfully, "Princess, it has been placed properly."
"I understand, you may leave." Rong Qingqing was about to enter the clean room when she remembered something and added, "Oh, right, invite the Emperor over later and tell him I have something to say to him."
The palace maid bowed her head and said, "Yes, this servant will send someone to deliver the message immediately."
After Rong Qingqing finished relieving herself, she washed her hands on the washstand before coming out of the bathroom.
Looking at the table full of food, she was clearly hungry, but had no appetite.
Well, no matter what, she couldn't let herself go against her stomach.
She convinced herself and sat down at the table.
