Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

"Bring that low-ranking maid over to serve the princess. From now on, she will be the princess's personal maid."

Gu Xici said without hesitation.

As an emperor, Lin Jinxi will definitely need her own confidants in the future.

The palace maid has always been loyal to Lin Jinxi. She did not abandon Lin Jinxi even when the rebels entered the palace and burned, killed and looted. She can become Lin Jinxi's right-hand man in the future.

After Shaoyao came in and paid her respects, she went straight to Lin Jinxi. She didn't know why the Imperial Master brought the princess here, and she was afraid that the princess would accidentally offend the Imperial Master.

"Peony."

Lin Jinxi loosened her hands that were tightly gripping her collar only after she saw Shaoyao. She didn't like being seen naked by others. Shaoyao had been with her since she was a child, so she was not afraid of her.

"Your Highness, I am here."

Shaoyao gently took off the princess's coarse clothes. Her thin body made Shaoyao feel distressed. Her greatest wish in life was that the princess could have enough food and warm clothes. She hoped that the imperial teacher would treat the princess well.

Lin Jinxi looked at the strange palace maid next to her who was reluctant to leave behind the screen, and was afraid that the Imperial Master would despise her for being timid, so she had to hide in Shaoyao's arms and slowly approach the bathtub.

"Except Shaoyao, all of you step back."

Gu Xici noticed Lin Jinxi's discomfort and ordered the other palace maids to retreat outside the hall and wait.

"Yes."

The palace maids left in an orderly manner.

After seeing the unfamiliar palace maid leave, Lin Jinxi boldly walked to the bathtub. The imperial teacher's eyes were covered with a white cloth, so he should not be able to see her.

The water was so warm, Lin Jinxi felt very comfortable after touching it. She hadn't bathed for a long time, the petals in the water were very fragrant, she wished she could wash like this in the future.

Although Gu Xici was blindfolded, she could see Lin Jinxi's body clearly. After seeing that Lin Jinxi was covered with scars, she walked up to her and pulled away Lin Jinxi's hand that was about to be scrubbed.

"National Division?"

Lin Jinxi looked at the national teacher in confusion.

"Why do you have so many bruises?"

Gu Xici gently touched the bruises, some from being pinched, some from being beaten. Gu Xici pushed aside the petals behind Lin Jinxi, and as expected, her back was also covered with bruises.

Lin Jinxi was only twelve years old, not even 16 years old. How could those palace servants have the heart to hurt such a little girl? Was it just because Lin Jinxi was an unpopular princess?

"Master, I'm fine. I don't feel any pain anymore."

Lin Jinxi broke free from Gu Xici's hand that was holding her wrist and said uncomfortably.

Help! Why could the Imperial Master see the scars on her body clearly even with his eyes blindfolded? That means I was seen naked by the Imperial Master.

Lin Jinxi's face flushed red, and she lowered her head and counted the petals to ease her shyness.

"Who are the people who hurt you? The palace rules clearly state that a slave should not bully his master."

Although Gu Xici was angry inside, her tone was calm, making it hard to tell whether she was curious or emphasizing the palace rules.

"I..."

Lin Jinxi lowered her head and remained silent. She didn't know those who bullied her, she only knew that they were eunuchs and palace maids.

Those eunuchs and palace maids who served the royal family were bullied. They didn't dare to bully their masters, so they could only run to Lin Jinxi and bully her. Every time after bullying Lin Jinxi, they felt very satisfied in their perverted hearts.

So what if she was a princess? She was still bullied by a little eunuch or a palace maid.

"Forget it. Take a good bath first. If you have any problem, tell the maids outside the palace. They won't dare to bully you when I'm here."

Gu Xici slowly walked out of Lin Jinxi's bedroom and waved to call his men.

"Investigate which servants have bullied the princess, and transfer them to serve the princess. Remember to tell them that Her Royal Highness is the Emperor recognized by the Imperial Master himself."

Gu Xici did not choose to vent Lin Jinxi's anger. Some things still needed Lin Jinxi to do it herself. It could not only avenge her hatred, but also improve her character.

If Lin Jinxi is willing to let go of those who have bullied her before, then Gu Xici will let more people bully Lin Jinxi until Lin Jinxi resists.

After all, Gu Xici once wanted Lin Jinxi to live a carefree life, and it was Lin Jinxi herself who held Gu Xici back.

Since she has decided to eat it, no matter whether the fruit is sour or sweet, Lin Jinxi must eat it. She must not let Gu Xici, the person who planted the tree, suffer.

After instructing his men, Gu Xici came to the Imperial Hospital. Although it was dark, the lights were on in the Imperial Hospital, and many palace maids or eunuchs injured by the rebels were recovering.

"Doctor Wen, give me a bottle of top-quality healing medicine, preferably one that can remove scars."

Gu Xici found Doctor Wen who was peeping at the side. Doctor Wen was peeping at an injured empress.

"Okay, okay, Master Imperial Master! Are you injured?"

Doctor Wen hurriedly opened the medicine box and rummaged through it, taking out a bottle of ointment.

"The entire Imperial Hospital only has this bottle of top-grade healing medicine. No matter what kind of wound it is, just apply it gently and the medicine will be applied to the wound, and not even a scar will be left. The Imperial Concubine wanted it, but the Emperor didn't agree.

I also took advantage of the chaos to rob it. Your Excellency the Imperial Master doesn’t know that those rebels robbed everything, even ordinary herbs. They are a bunch of robbers.”

Doctor Wen handed the ointment to Gu Xici with a smile. Fortunately, the Imperial Master had captured these rebels, otherwise the Imperial Medical Office would have become a space hospital.

"Well, in your heart, what you think is exactly what you think, and what you ask is exactly what you answer."

Gu Xici took the ointment, saw Doctor Wen’s past and future with his own eyes, and left a riddle.

"Thank you, Master Imperial Master!"

Doctor Wen bowed deeply. How many dignitaries could not get a divination from the Imperial Master, but he, a mere imperial doctor, got it.

What he thought was exactly what he thought, which means that all his previous guesses were correct, and what he asked was exactly what he answered. He did not ask any questions. What does this sentence mean?

Doctor Wen was puzzled and finally had to treat the wounded first and then seek a solution when he had time.

Inside the bedroom, Lin Jinxi mustered up the courage to order the palace maid to serve the meal. The palace maid outside the hall responded respectfully, and soon the people from the Imperial Food Bureau brought in sumptuous delicacies.

Lin Jinxi stared at the delicious food in front of her. She had never eaten such delicious food before. Just by smelling it, her saliva began to water.

The tender chicken was dripping with honey, and the surface was smooth and golden, looking sweet and delicious. There was also delicious fish soup, stir-fried shrimp, and almond tofu that she had eaten once.

"Princess, please have your meal."

After the maid finished arranging everything, she stepped aside and waited for instructions.

"Ah."

Such politeness. It was the first time that Lin Jinxi was respected like this. All the eunuchs and palace maids in the cold palace would look down on her.

Lin Jinxi picked up a piece of almond tofu. She once secretly ran out of the cold palace and met a kind queen. The queen invited her to eat almond tofu, but she was too scared at the time and swallowed it all without savoring it carefully. This time she must savor it carefully.

It has a unique taste of tenderness, sweetness, and a hint of rich and lingering almond aroma. It has a long aftertaste and is delicious.
