Chapter 81
The woman's face was full of incredulity . "How could an ordinary maidservant be this beautiful? This young miss is the number one beauty in Zhi County, but even I pale in comparison to you . In this young miss' mind, even if you are wearing coa . r . s . e clothes, there's no way you can be a n . o . body . Just tell me frankly, where are you from? Why are you picking up chips of a teacup in the hall?"

The words, 'this young miss' allowed Su Xi-er to understand the woman's ident . i . ty . She's the sole daughter of the Zhi County Magistrate .
"Beauty, where did you come from? Did you descend from the sky or…?"
Faced with the woman innocent naivete, Su Xi-er didn't know how she should answer . She actually suggested that I descended from the sky . . .
"All you need to know is that this servant isn't a maidservant in the County Government Office . There's no need for you to know any more, so please don't ask . Even if you ask, I won't tell you . . " Su Xi-er no longer paid attention to her and picked up the chips on her own .
The woman didn't plan on letting her off easily, continuing to pester her . "Since you're unwilling to tell me, I'll just presume that you descended from the sky . Tell me, how do I become as beautiful as you?"

Su Xi-er glanced at her . "You are already very beautiful, there's no need to become even more beautiful . "
The woman cupped her face with her hands and grumbled with grievances, "Originally, I thought that I was beautiful, but he still rejected me . I couldn't understand why at the beginning, but now I understand after seeing you . I am still not the most beautiful . "
Su Xi-er asked her back, "He[1]?"
The woman's eyes lit up . "Beimin's Prince Hao! He's the most handsome and charming man! The women who want to marry him are innumerable . Prince Hao loves beauties, and the women in the Beauty Palace are unparalleled beauties . "
At this point, the women became dispirited again . "You are beautiful beyond words, but even you didn't enter the Beauty Palace . Based on that, how beautiful must the women in the Beauty Palace be?"

Su Xi-er didn't respond . This woman fell in love with him just by catching a glimpse of him… Pei Qianhao's charisma has reached an inconceivable stage .
With just one glimpse, he can cause women to fall helplessly in love with him .
The woman didn't mind that Su Xi-er paid no heed to her, beginning to think out loud . "Apart from changing my appearance, how else can I attract him? He loves beauties, but what about their personality? What kind of character, how much talent, and how proficient in needlework must one be?"
Su Xi-er placed the teacup fragments on the cleaning rag, preparing to discard them into the lumber room . The woman was still mumbling to herself when Su Xi-er left . Sigh, it's hopeless for her . Are all the women in the Beauty Palace mulling over these questions every day?
Su Xi-er had yet to walk out of the hall when she spotted His Excellency County Magistrate rus . h . i . +ng over . Upon noticing his daughter muttering to herself, he immediately became solemn . "My silly daughter, don't think about these unrealistic things . From today onwards, you are not permitted to leave the room by half a step . "

"Dad, you can't lock your daughter up just for liking Prince Hao! Does he disdain me for looking ugly?"
"You are the number one beauty in Zhi County . You're not ugly at all! It's just that our status doesn't match up to Prince Hao's . My daughter, don't think too much . Listen to your dad . " The County Magistrate was also getting anxious . If he let his daughter continue being muddled, the entire County Government office would be implicated .
Su Xi-er sighed to herself before walking out of the hall's door and leaving the County Magistrate to wrangle with his daughter in the room
After Su Xi-er was done with handling the teacup shards, Wu Ling appeared again and led her to the room she was going to stay in .
" This room is split into the inner chamber and side chamber . You will be staying in the side chamber until we continue with our journey tomorrow"
Su Xi-er understood the structure of the inner chamber and side chamber was to make it convenient for the servants to take care of their master . For example, a young miss and her head maidservant, or a young master and his room concubine servant .
"Prince Hao stays in the inner chamber, and will likely prefer to stick to the same living arrangement for the entire journey . Su Xi-er, take care . " Wu Ling advised her again . I will be rus . h . i . +ng to the capital later, so nothing must go wrong in my absence .
"Imperial Bodyguard Wu, does Prince Hao not have maidservants serving at his side? Are there none in the Prince Hao Residence?"
