Chapter 1432: Troublesome person
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” The maid immediately knelt down to admit her mistake, but she was calling out not to Prince Busodi, but to Princess Samiyi, “Your Highness, it really wasn’t intentional, please forgive me this one time!”
Samiyi glanced at the kneeling maid and said, “I can forgive you, but it is Prince Busodi who wants to punish you now. Although this isn’t his estate, he still wants to overstep and punish you. Do you agree to this?”
The maid lowered her head and said, “As long as His Royal Highness can calm down, I can do anything.”
“Samiyi!” Busodi really wanted to kill this woman, so she wouldn’t be an eyesore in front of him, but he couldn’t lay a hand on Samiyi because it wasn’t the time to do so.
“Prince Busodi, we’re all waiting for your answer. Are you going to punish her, or let her go?” Samiyi said, “You know, it’s mealtime now, and if you keep standing here, it’s going to affect the maids and guards’ lunch.”
Samiyi was extremely calm. No matter how angry Busodi was, she could talk to him calmly. If she wasn’t calm, then there would be no one in the palace capable of handling affairs.
Busodi had known for a long time that Samiyi was difficult to deal with. She had always stayed behind the King acting the obedient princess, so he hadn’t seen her as a rival. But judging from today’s situation, he had underestimated her.
The scent of roasting meat wafted in through the window again. The prince, who had never suffered hardship, naturally couldn’t stand hunger. He said angrily to Samiyi, “Since His Majesty the King is resting, I won’t disturb him. I’ll come back to report to him after he wakes up.”
“It’s getting late,” Samiyi said. “Prince Busodi, you should get going now. If you wait any longer, you’ll miss lunchtime.”
“I don’t need your reminder.” Prince Busodi said coldly, “The maids in my estate are not as untrained as those in the palace, nor are they as clumsy. They know exactly what they should and shouldn’t do, and what they should do well.”
Samiyi smiled, “Although the maids inside the palace aren’t as clever and capable as those in your estate, they are very obedient. I don’t need the smartest people by my side, but I absolutely need obedient ones. Prince Busodi, I advise you to find a few obedient people as well. Why would you keep someone by your side who always causes trouble for you?”
Of course, Busodi understood what Samiyi meant by her words; she was mocking him for choosing a trouble-making queen.
“You needn’t worry about my affairs, Princess Samiyi,” Busodi said with a fierce glare. “I will come to see His Majesty the King again. I hope next time I come, he is not sleeping.”
“Of course, His Majesty the King can’t be sleeping all the time,” Samiyi replied. Though she hadn’t known Tan Rou for long, she trusted her deeply. It was as if Tan Rou had a kind of reassuring magic, making everyone around her feel at ease.
Without gaining any advantage from Samiyi, Busodi left in a huff.
Samiyi truly sweat for herself; if Busodi hadn’t been hungry today, she wasn’t sure she could have lasted against him.
“Your Highness…” the maid kneeling on the floor spoke up, “Should I clean the floor now?”
“No need,” Samiyi quickly helped her up. “I am really sorry for making you kneel so long.”
The maid replied, “To resolve the princess’s troubles is my duty. There’s no need for courtesy, Your Highness.”
Samiyi smiled and said, “You’ve all worked hard. Go take turns having your meal.”
In fact, neither the guards nor the maids had eaten, but to cooperate with the princess, they could only endure the hunger.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Samiyi had eaten too many grapes and wasn’t hungry now, so she continued to stay inside the hall. That way, she could stop anyone from entering the King’s room at the first opportunity.
Although she had won over Busodi today, he was a very difficult person, and she believed it wouldn’t be long before he returned.
Yet, on the other side, Busodi also felt that Samiyi was a very challenging person to deal with.
