Chapter 39 - Jade Eyes

Princess Lu Shan entered before me, but when I was about to enter, I felt a very ominous feeling.

Lu Shan noticed my uneasiness and looked back. 

"What's the matter?" I just looked at the surroundings, but it turned out that it's just me being paranoid.

"There's nothing, Princess Lu Shan," I said to her, which earned a frown. When I entered, the three maids followed up, but even though there are five people inside, it is still spacious, but Lu Shan seems different from the princess whom I have been meeting. The princess that I have known is my sister back in the SU Empire. They don't let their maids enter their carriage, and this time there are three maids in here. 

"Yanyu, you're thinking nonsensically again, don't you?" I was taken out of my trance because of her voice. 

"I… I don't, Princess Lu Shan." Ahem, for another time, she frowned. 

"You know, Yanyu, stop calling me Princess Lu Shan, you can just call me Lu Shan." I have called her that name, but just in my mind. 

"I… is it really fine to do that?" Somehow, because of what I said, she looks confused.

"Yanyu, in the first place, you have a much higher position than I do. You are a true-born princess by an emperor, so of course it is allowed." Once again, I feel like crying. Lu Shan, why are you like that? You're so kind. 

"Yanyu, you're crying again, don't you? Ah! I remember Yanyu, why are you covering your eyes? Won't they get irritated?" I don't know what to say to her but… but I don't really want others to see it be… because it has a very peculiar color, and I don't want to be hated by her.

"There's no reason for me to…" for a very short time, I have off my guard, Lu Shan immediately shoves my hair up, which means. 

"Wooo" wha… what? This time, not only Lu Shan but even her maids. I immediately covered my eyes. 

"Yanyu, why did you cover your beautiful eyes?" Wh… what? 

"So that's why Princess He doesn't want us to wash her face," now even the maid. 

"You know this is the first time that I have met a person with beautiful jade eyes." Beautiful? Did she just say beautiful? My eyes? But. 

"Beautiful?" She looked at me straight, and then she nodded with her maids.

This is the second time that someone has said that my eyes are beautiful besides Zi Yan. I don't really know, but the tears suddenly fall from my eyes, and somehow these tears made me remember how my life has been because of these eyes. 

"Tss, what very hideous eyes are you, a child of a monster? Hmmp, no wonder the emperor doesn't love you." A maid who was assigned to me by one of the concubines. 

"Hey, monster, carry this or I'll tell the head maid you're bullying me with your monster power," she said, then threw the bucket of water at me, which made me whine in pain.

"Hey, what are you doing to the princess?" Someone shouted and made the maids stop what they were doing.

When I look up, it is none other than the maid who had become the person who took care of me.

"Zi Yan, am I a monster?" I asked her, but she smiled at me. 

"There's no way a beautiful princess like you could be a monster, you are as beautiful as your mother," She said while smiling warmly.
