Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a month, the weather became warmer, and the world revealed the warmth of early spring after the snow melted.

Noble Consort Qiao called the people from the Palace Bureau to the Qiushui Palace, intending to make a few new sets of clothes for Gu Nuo’er.

The palace maids from the Palace Bureau’s tailoring department who were in charge of making clothes were all in their prime and looked beautiful.

Gu Nuo’er was surrounded by four palace maids. She raised her small hand and placed it on the shoulder of the palace maid on the left. She frowned and said, “Beautiful older sister, something is troubling me~”

The palace maids were amused. “Your Highness, you’re still so young. What troubles can you have?”

Gu Nuo’er puffed up her fair and round face. Her black eyes blinked like a pair of clear deer eyes.

“What troubles me is that I really like being with the older sisters. I really want to ask you to come and make clothes every day, but that will tire you out. Baby Nuo can’t bear to do this!”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Gu Nuo’er took the opportunity to stretch out her small leg from the shoulder of the palace maid on the left. Her chubby body turned around and she hugged the neck of another palace maid who had a graceful figure.

She was round and cute, and her eyebrows were as exquisite as porcelain dolls. She didn’t have the arrogance of a princess either. Therefore, the palace servants liked to interact with the princess.

Gu Nuo’er’s mischievousness made the palace maids laugh.

One of the palace maids made a shushing gesture and reminded softly, “The noble consort is in the outer hall. Don’t let Her Highness hear you, or you’ll definitely be punished.”

Noble Consort Qiao was very intimidating in the harem. When everyone heard this, they quickly fell silent.

Gu Nuo’er patted her chest. “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you guys! Mother won’t blame you.”

At this moment, the curtain in the outer hall moved and Wanyin led someone in.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Gu Nuo’er’s small ears twitched. She felt that this voice sounded very familiar.

It seemed to be Elder Sister Mu Shuzhen.

Noble Consort Qiao originally had her eyes closed to rest. When she heard this voice, she opened her eyes and revealed a lazy beauty posture.

“Mu Shuzhen, why are you here instead of serving Her Majesty? Could it be that Her Majesty has something to tell me?”

Mu Shuzhen shook her head and lowered her body. Her voice was neither servile nor overbearing as she said, “This servant is here to resign from my post. This servant has been living in the palace during this period of time.

“This servant knows that I am slow-witted and am not suitable for the palace. However, because this servant is a sinner, I’ve asked to go to the imperial mausoleum.

“I hope that I live on a vegetarian diet and clean the tombs, spending my day as the sun rises and sets, not asking for anything else.”

Noble Consort Qiao paused and looked at Mu Shuzhen for a long time.

“It’s a tough job to watch over the imperial mausoleum. Once you go, you won’t be able to come out without spending three to five years there. Have you thought it through?”

Mu Shuzhen lowered her head deeply. “This servant has thought it through. This servant is willing to go to the imperial mausoleum to reflect on my past, but I beg Your Highness to fulfill my wish. I’ve also reported this to Her Majesty, and Her Majesty has allowed it.”

Noble Consort Qiao fell silent, her beautiful eyes sizing Mu Shuzhen up.

Back then, when she was selecting palace maids for the empress, she did not fancy Mu Shuzhen.

This was because she felt that although Mu Shuzhen was honest, she was clumsy and not smart enough.

How could such a person like this be placed by the empress’s side as a head palace maid?

She was neither able to take on responsibilities nor accomplish great things.

Noble Consort Qiao thought for a moment and waved her hand. “You were recommended by the princess back then. You can go to the inner hall to ask for Baby Nuo’s opinion on whether you should stay or leave. As long as Nuo’er agrees, I naturally have no objections.”

Mu Shuzhen bowed and thanked Noble Consort Qiao before walking towards the inner hall.

As for Gu Nuo’er, she had already finished listening to their conversation.
