Chapter 1216 Famine and Natural Disaster 375

Mingyi pointed to the bench beside her and said to Chunxi, "Sit down."

"Master Cheng, I am a servant, and it is against the rules to sit with you."

The other party's uneasiness and caution made Ming Yi frown slightly, "You serve me, and you do whatever I say."

"Yes." Chunxi's heart skipped a beat and she bowed subconsciously to reply, but she regretted it as soon as she said it; however, she had already opened her mouth and was in a dilemma.

"sit down."

She said solemnly.

Even though she tried to restrain her aura, Chunxi's legs still went weak, and he listened to her and sat down on the bench next to her. After sitting down, Chunxi's heart was still beating violently, and he looked up at her and quickly lowered his head.

Master Cheng is different now.

  She is very different from before. I have never seen her so powerful. She used to be gentle and graceful, acting like a lady from a noble family. How could she be like today?

"You must obey my words unconditionally. I am not a harsh person, but I also don't like people always singing against my will. Do you understand?" Mingyi said the stern warning and observed Chunxi's reaction.

Chunxi nodded carefully and cautiously, but because she buried her head, Mingyi couldn't see her expression.

"I will remember this." She stood up and bowed again.

"Okay, sit down." Mingyi shook his head and stopped looking at her; instead, he stared intently at the food on the table. The appearance of the food couldn't be said to be good, but it couldn't be said to be too bad either. It could only be said to be average.

She has witnessed all kinds of wealthy days, and has lived too many wealthy and noble days; she can live well whether rich or not, and can live any kind of life.

Chunmei brought two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and Mingyi immediately asked them to sit down, "There are only three of us here, so don't be too formal."

"Here."

Chunmei walked forward and sat down next to Chunxi, and gave her a set of bowls and chopsticks.

Mingyi nodded with satisfaction, "Let's eat."

They picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Chunxi and Chunmei started eating only after she did.

The way these two people behaved made Chunxi so cautious that she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, as if there were needles pricking her stool.

Mingyi sighed silently and decided not to invite them to eat together next time; after all this, she almost lost her appetite.

After finally finishing the meal, the centurion from the kitchen camp brought some hot water. Mingyi quickly got up and went to the inner room. She waited until the centurion and his men left before she spoke.

"Chunxi, Chunmei, I want to take a bath, you guys stay with me."

"Yes, Mr. Cheng, don't worry." Chunmei stood up and bowed while eating.

When Chunxi wanted to get up again, she had missed the best opportunity. Fortunately, Mingyi had no intention of asking any more questions, nor did she notice her abnormality. At this moment, all her attention was on bathing. It was very hot, and she just wanted to wash off the sweat. Only when she was clean and refreshed would she feel comfortable.

The two of them had their meal outside while Mingyi took a bath and washed up indoors.

After Chunxi and Chunmei finished their meal, Chunmei glanced at the person who was not in good condition and said, "Chunxi, please clean up the things on the table. I will go and help Master Cheng to wash up."

"Okay." Chunxi nodded blankly.

Before leaving, Chunmei looked back at her twice and quickly walked into the inner room.

"Master Cheng, I will wash your hair for you."

"It's just right that you're here. My hair has grown again. If it continues to grow, it will be longer than my waist." Mingyi lay on the edge of the tub. The heat and pain were just right for her. If she sweated a little more now, she would sweat less later.

It is comfortable to take a bath in hot weather. You will sweat a lot after taking a bath because of the heat; it is also the body's natural metabolism. Then she will have to wash herself.

Chunmei walked forward with a slight smile, lifted up the long hair that was scattered on her shoulders, and carefully cleaned and washed it. She washed very attentively without forgetting to talk.

"Your hair is black, shiny and smooth. I haven't seen you use any ointment or care products on a daily basis, but your hair is so beautiful. I am really envious." She didn't mention a word about the length of the hair.

Mingyi turned around and glanced at her, then turned around and spoke to her, "That was my hair before you saw me. It was as dry and yellow as straw."

It was like this when I first took on this body. Malnutrition caused it, and my physical condition showed on the outside.

"Really?" Chunmei was skeptical. "I have never seen you before, only your current appearance. You are very beautiful. When you grow up in a few years, you will definitely be a daughter that will be sought after by hundreds of families."

Mingyi looked at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Yes, I was just talking nonsense." Chunmei smiled slightly, her smile was sincere, gentle and reserved.

Mingyi nodded. It was easier to talk to her than to Chunmei. At least Chunmei was not the kind of person who was overly cautious.

I got up after soaking for a quarter of an hour, and put on the padded clothes for just a moment, but I was sweating profusely; when I wiped my hair dry, my body became wet again, and my clothes stuck to my body and felt particularly sticky.

"This bath was a waste." I miss the days when I was not affected by cold or heat.

Chunmei smiled helplessly, with bitterness on her lips, "It would be better if you stayed in the palace, there is no need to suffer like this; there are ice mirrors in the palace, no matter how hot the summer sun is, it is not as hot as in the military camp."

Mingyi hurriedly shook her head. She couldn't sit still and was asked to stay in the palace and wait for news.

"Don't tell me the truth. Although I am very tired after coming to the military camp, it is also very fulfilling. I have learned a lot, and it is a blessing to be able to see the different scenery of this world. It doesn't matter if it is a little bit hard or tired. The main thing is that I feel happy and I am happy doing anything. It's enough to complain to you. If I really have to live like other ladies, I will probably go crazy."

"No, the prince treats you differently. If you feel bored, you can ask the prince to find something fun for you to play with."

Mingyi looked up at her and asked in surprise, "You and Chunxi came here together, so you should have known each other before, right?"

"Yes, Chunxi and I are both born in the royal family and have grown up together." Chunmei didn't know why she asked this and still answered honestly.

"You two have different personalities. Chunxi is very cautious and always talks about rules. You are not like that. You are obedient." He will do things according to her wishes.

Chunmei understood and said, "After Chunxi goes back, her parents will decide. As children of the royal family, we start to look for girls after the age of twelve; after the age of fifteen, they will get married. If they don't want to get married, their parents will be sympathetic and they can comb their hair themselves. However, very few people are willing for their children to comb their hair themselves. Many parents just want their daughters to find a suitable family to have children and continue their family line."

"What about you?" Mingyi stared at her seriously.

Chunmei smiled back and said solemnly and sincerely, "I want to follow you and serve you by your side."

"Why? You have only been serving me for a short time, why did you make such a decision?" No wonder she served me so wholeheartedly. During her time in Fucheng, she felt that Chunmei always took her into consideration and served her very well.

It’s not that Chunxi is bad, but it’s about attitude.

Chunxi just did his duty and was a very disciplined person.

Chunmei is also well-behaved. People will obey her as long as she does not make mistakes within the rules. She speaks nicely and does things efficiently and seriously. No matter how you look at it, Chunmei is more dedicated.
