Ji dynasty.
The day of the Banquet.
The next day, Zhao Ming woke up with the nagging of Lu s.h.i.+.
Lu s.h.i.+ was shouting her name many times and even tried to move her.
But Zhao Ming was sleeping like a log. She was a heavy sleeper. At night, she slept quite late.
It"s not that, she was late but these people slept early.
These people sleep early and wake up early. And she was used to her old sleeping habit, she could sleep around 12 at the earliest.
But here people went to sleep at 8 in the evening and tend to wake up in 5 in the morning. Maybe more early.
Lu s.h.i.+ tried hard to wake her up, but couldn"t do so.
Zhao Ming looked at Lu s.h.i.+ and said, " Why you people had to wake up so early? There is nothing to do, then why you guys had to wake up in the fu*king early morning " she cried out in frustration.
Lu s.h.i.+ ignored her words as she was now somewhat used to her strange way of speaking.
Lu s.h.i.+ said, " Miss, now the sun has gone up. So wake up, please. Today is the day of the Banquet. We need to get ready for it . " She said while trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the blanket from Zhao Ming and trying to wake her up.
Annoyed Zhao Ming said, " Banquet is in the evening. Why we had to get ready now? "
" Though the Banquet is in the evening but we have so many things to prepare. We need to get your dress ready, as you don"t want to wear a dress sent by his highness , " she said in a sarcastic tone.
" And you need to learn some etiquettes before attending the banquet as you have forgotten all with your memory loss . " She said while looking into Zhao Ming"s eyes.
Zhao Ming became more irritated. She doesn"t want to learn anything. Why the h.e.l.l, she needs to learn these stupid formalities?
But she can"t refute Lu s.h.i.+"s words. Though this girl is small and cute but she is rather intimidating when she is angry.
So Zhao Ming shut up and followed her to take a bath.
When she went to the bathroom, it was huge with an old wooden circular bathtub in between.
The bathtub was filled with milk and rose petals. Zhao Ming looked at the set up in disbelief.
" Who bathes with a milk. We sometimes use it for a pedicure and others, but bathing with milk is something else ."
She stared at the bathtub with her mouth and eyes wide open.
Lu s.h.i.+ looked at her reaction and chuckled slightly.
Then Lu s.h.i.+ went to remove, Zhao Ming"s upper robe.
Startled by the action, Zhao Ming instinctively backed away and stared at Lu s.h.i.+ in disbelief and asked, " What...what are you doing? "
Lu s.h.i.+: -_-" Eh ? "
Baffled by her reaction, Lu s.h.i.+ looked at her in confusion and said, " I was just helping you to remove your clothes so that you can take your bath . " She said as a matter of factly.
Zhao Ming stared at her and blinked.
" No, it"s fine. You go, I can do it myself . " Zhao Ming said while tightening her grip on her robe and looked away in embarra.s.sment.
Showing her body in a bikini is one thing, and bathing in front of someone else is different.
She really can"t get used to this place. On the one hand, these people are conservative.
But on the other hand, they need servants to accompany them even in the bath.
She felt shudder thinking about it.
Lu s.h.i.+ stared at Zhao Ming in confusion but tried again to hold on her robe and said, " Miss, it"s okay. Let me help you. "
But Zhao Ming didn"t let her touch herself and pushed her outside.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked at the bathtub filled with milk and smiled devilishly.
She then went towards the bathtub and removed her clothes clumsily and sat in it. The water was cold, making the heat away. And the milk was soothing and good for her skin.
" That is the reason their skin is so soft ." she thought while relaxing.
This is what she needed in this hot summer, a cold bath. She closed her eyes and leaned against the bathtub, feeling the cold milk and water on her body.
After getting ready she came out and Lu s.h.i.+ served her breakfast.
After the breakfast, Lu s.h.i.+ explained Zhao Ming the manners and etiquettes around the royalty.
Though she was itself the royalty, but she needs to learn all this. There will be many people greeting her and to whom she had to greet.
She can"t let Zhao Ming feel embarra.s.s herself in front of everyone just because she lost her memories, that"s why she was doing her best to make Zhao Ming learn everything.
But for Zhao Ming, all of this was ridiculous. For her, it was all play.
After learning basic manners and etiquettes, now it"s time to choose a dress.
Though Lu s.h.i.+ was h.e.l.l worried, Zhao Ming was casual about it. She already has a plan in her mind. So she was not worried at all.
She coolly ate the grapes placed in front of her.
