Wang Shu looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Sister, I don't understand."
Baozhu began to coax her: "Although my sister is pretty, she can't compare to you. I think you two will be more favored by the Emperor if you serve him. Think about it, Father and Mother have been good to you all these years, haven't they? Whenever there's something delicious, I always think of you. Can you bear to see our family's efforts go to waste?"
Wang Shu started to struggle again: "I...but...I can't do it. I'm stupid. I'm scared. Sister, you're smart. You can do it. I can't. I don't know how to serve the Emperor. What if I offend him?"
Timid, frightened, pitiful, and somewhat aggrieved...
Baozhu looked at her and couldn't help but soften her heart. Then she thought that if a young girl like her could be so soft-hearted, the Emperor might also be soft-hearted. So her heart hardened again.
There were many palace maids in the Qianqing Palace without official titles or status. One reason she was unwilling was that she had someone she liked, but the most important reason was that she was afraid. If she were to serve the emperor without a title, she would really have to die of old age in the palace. Even if she entered the harem, if people found out that she had once loved someone, she would be finished.
She didn't want to live like that.
Baozhu: "You are very beautiful, and I have confidence in you. If you serve the Emperor, I will go to your side to protect you. Also, now that you are in Jingyang Palace, you must avoid the eunuchs. Many eunuchs in the palace like to take advantage of pretty young palace maids."
Wang Shu lowered her head and said, "I understand, sister."
The two sisters talked for a while, and Baozhu gave her a bag of silver to take care of things so that she wouldn't be bullied.
Wang Shu accepted the silver and returned to Jingyang Palace in a daze.
Su Mu noticed something was wrong with her: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wang Shu shook her head: "No."
Su Mu asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Wang Shu nodded: "Really, thank you for caring about me, Sister Su Mu. Sister Su Mu is so kind."
Su Mu couldn't help but pat her fluffy head: "If you need anything, you can ask me for help."
She would help her as much as she could.
The adorable little palace maid is like the little sun in Jingyang Palace; who wouldn't love her?
