My eyes darted around, but I didn't give up and continued shamelessly, "But I'm so bored here all by myself." I glanced at the woman and saw that she was hanging her head and didn't react at all, so I continued, "Look, Donghuang keeps me locked in the room all day and won't let me go out. Now he won't let anyone talk to me either. I'm about to die of boredom. Can't you just chat with me to relieve your boredom?"
The woman still ignored me.
I continued, "Look, I'm the apple of your eye, Donghuang. If I were to get sick from being bored, who do you think Donghuang would turn to?"
I observed the woman's movements, and sure enough, she paused for a moment upon hearing this, drawing circles with her thumb on her other hand, clearly struggling with her decision.
I continued earnestly, "But if I'm in a good mood, your Donghuang will be happy too, won't they?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her head and cautiously asked me, "Your Majesty, what do you wish to do?"
Looking at the woman's frightened face, and knowing that she would never agree to anything too outrageous, I compromised and said, "Go and pour me a cup of tea and bring me some snacks."
The woman nodded with relief, "It's all I should do."
Soon, the woman returned, placed the snacks and tea on the table one by one, and then prepared to leave.
"Hey? Where are you going?"
The woman paused and turned around. "Your Majesty, is there anything else you require?"
"You stay here and watch over me so you can refill my tea." With that, I got up from the bed, sat in a chair, and took a sip of tea.
I blew on the tea, took a sip, and praised, "This tea is really good, and your skills are excellent too."
The woman paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
I ignored her and continued drinking my tea.
Anyway, she's always by my side, so I don't believe she can really stay silent about me forever.
"Since you serve me, do you not know my name?"
"Call me Wisteria."
"Wisteria?" I put down my teacup and picked up a pastry. "I really love wisteria flowers. Do you like wisteria flowers?"
Wisteria stepped forward to refill the tea, saying, "I like it."
"Wisteria, how long have you been in Guixu?"
“I’ve lived in Guixu since I was a child, and I don’t know how long it’s been.” A look of melancholy flashed across Zi Teng’s face.
Having lived in Guixu since childhood, I lowered my eyes to hide the light in them.
Have you gone out to see it?
"No," Wisteria shook her head.
It seems we shouldn't talk about Liu Lieyu. I just opened my mouth to ask about Liu Lieyu, and Zifeng immediately told me we shouldn't talk about it casually. But now she's talking about her own affairs without any restraint.
"Don't you get annoyed?"
“My aunt said that those who are born in Guixu must die in Guixu. People here are not allowed to go out except to fight alongside the Eastern Emperor. Your Highness, you should know this as well.”
I nodded. "Yes, I've heard about it."
"It seems you have a good relationship with your aunt."
“My aunt takes good care of me,” Zi Teng said, her aunt’s face lighting up with admiration.
"Who is your aunt?" I asked casually.
Zi Teng looked at me and said, "Fei Yan."
"Pfft." I almost spat out the tea I had just drunk. "Fei Yan? Fei Yan is your aunt."
"Mm." Wisteria nodded.
It's over, it's completely over. I finally got a simple little maid, but she turned out to be Fei Yan's woman.
I sighed and silently cheered myself on.
I glanced cautiously at the wisteria and asked, "Do you know that your aunt likes Donghuang?"
Wisteria gave me a strange look. "Everyone in Guixu knows this."
Everyone in Guixu knows this, except Liu Lieyu.
I suddenly had a good idea: "Go tell your aunt that I have a way to get him and Liu Lieyu together."
