Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 68

68 Lets go on a walk

” I am bored,” Liu Hui Ying slumped down on the floor as she took the cloth from Nanny Gong and started to wipe her sweat. There was nothing interesting in this world and maybe because she did not have the authority unlike she did in her world, Liu Hui Ying wasn’t getting any important cases to deal with and the one she was dealing with ...she wasn’t getting paid for it!

That jerk, he said that he will go and send her the rewards that he promised but it has been so long and she was yet to get her money. She was indeed right, depending on men was simply foolish maybe she should go and look for some other cases!

Just how difficult was it to send a few gold taels huh?

Qui Ai who was fanning Liu Hui Ying heard her words and then carefully said, ” Your majesty, why don’t you go outside then? The palace is blooming with flowers at the moment, you will certainly enjoy the sight of them.”

Liu Hui Ying wasn’t interested in flowers but when she heard Qui Ai, she knew that the latter was right. Ever since she came here, she has been staying inside this courtyard, on the first night she was busy trying to save her life, and then in the morning, she was dragged to the old hag’s place.

And in the night when she was planning to take a look at the palace and find the ghost of this woman, she was interrupted by that Emperor causing the ghost hour to slip by and now in the morning, she was taken away to her so-called aunt’s palace.

Strictly speaking, she has been running around the entire palace like a spinning top but she didn’t even get the chance to take a good look around the palace.

” Very well then,” Liu Hui Ying used her core to sit up straight and then turned to look at Qui Ai as she said, ” Go and get my clothes, I will go out and take a walk.”

Even if she couldn’t see the ghost of this woman roaming around, she will at least find some sort of clue right?

.....

” I will take your clothes out, right now, your majesty!” Qui Ai was a lot more excited now that she saw her missy agreeing with her. Clearly, her missy was the one who was the ruler of the harem yet it was that Concubine Ji who was the childhood sweetheart of the Emperor who acted as if she was the one who was ruling the harem.

And her maid!

She was simply too obnoxious, that Xiaolin would deliberately come to the kitchen at the same time as her and then she would stay beside her and keep on egging Qui Ai. She would tell her how her missy would sooner or later be kicked out and that they shouldn’t get familiar with the palace too much.

What was even more annoying, was that Xiaolin would every time tell her that Concubine Ji was much more beautiful than her majesty, the Queen. Like hell she was! Clearly, her missy was the most beautiful woman in the harem!

Today, Qui Ai was determined to have her missy make her presence known! What did the women in the palace think? That they can do anything they want just because her missy was targeted and punished unjustly?

” I will make you look the prettiest, your majesty, don’t you worry!” Qui Ai swore as she rushed inside in a hurry.

“You don’t have to work so hard,” Liu Hui Ying was alarmed when she saw that Qui Ai was acting so hyped up, she was afraid that the little girl would force her to wear that crown again but fortunately for her, her bad premonition did not become her reality.

Qui Ai indeed worked hard but she only worked hard on her make-up and hairstyle. From using the powder to make her look fairer to using the red tint that made her lips look as red as rose petals.

The maid worked hard for an hour and a half, and by the time she finished helping Liu Hui Ying in getting ready, Liu Hui Ying was done with her mid-noon nap.

” Your majesty, I am done,” Qui Ai woke Liu Hui Ying up, she was not at all offended by Liu Hui Ying who fell asleep instead she was more than understanding of Liu Hui Ying’s actions.

The emperor came to see her missy last night and then he came to see her in the morning as well, clearly, the Emperor must have tried her missy out.

Fortunately for Qui Ai, Liu Hui Ying could not read her thoughts or she would have gotten several smacks on her back.

” Oh you are done,” Liu Hui Ying stretched her arms and yawned as she took a look at her reflection in the mirror, however, once she took a look at her reflection, Liu Hui Ying’s eyes went wide as she turned to look at Qui Ai and asked surprised, ” Is this me?”

” Of course, your majesty,” replied Qui Ai happily as she placed the tiny brush on the table and smiled at her mistress. ” Didn’t I do a good job in making you pretty?”

A good job?

She did a fantastic job!

Liu Hui Ying has never been one to get ready or do anything like dressing herself up or something of the sort, that was why she never understood the power of makeup but now that she was looking in the mirror with her face painted ever so delicately, she could not help but nod. ” No wonder women are obsessed with this makeup thing, it completely makes someone look out of this world.”

” Shall we go now?” asked Li Gang who was getting tired of waiting, he was looking at the Koi fish in the pond but then he heard that Liu Hui Ying was going to go out and explore the palace, that was why he was willing to go with her but it has been an hour and yet... she was still getting ready!
