The Second Life of Hu Liena

48. Preparation to enter the palace.

Hu Liena buys Bao-Yu directly from the owner of a cosmetics store for a fantastic fee.

In this era, a slave is often bought by the master. And not a few, who reap profits from the sale of these slaves. Like the owner of a cosmetics store who sold Bao-Yu slaves to the current Hu Liena, he bought Bao-Yu in a slave market of fifty taels of silver, he bought Bao-Yu, and now it sells Bao-Yu for a hundred and ten taels.

A very big profit, right?

"Miss, thank you for being the new master of the servant." Bao-Yu said as he saluted Hu Liena.

Luqiu, who was annoyed by Miss Bao-Yu's call to Hu Liena, immediately rebuked her blatantly.

"Call your new master as Princess, Princess Xia." Luqiu Light to Bao-Yu.

This time, Hu Liena did not attempt to prevent Luqiu from telling her identity.

"Princess Xia?" Said Bao-Yu who was surprised when he heard the explanation from Luqiu.

Luqiu puffed out her chest, then patted her proudly. "Yes ... My master is a Princess blessed by the Emperor."

Luqiu said like that with great pride, implied from her face.

Hu Liena closed her mouth, using a handkerchief. It was so strong to hold back laughter, when it saw that the over-exaggerated Luqiu prided herself like that.

Bao-Yu immediately kowtowed in front of Hu Liena, when she was only made aware of her shock.

"Sincerely servant, Her Highness Princess Xia!" Bao-Yu's words were answered by Hu Liena.

"Regend! I bought you, not to ask you to bow before me. But I bought you, because I wanted to make you my brother like Luqiu." Hu Liena said full of gentleness.

Bao-Yu gasps when she hears the words of her new employer. How can he, who is a servant, be the brother of a Princess of His Majesty.

"Princess ... Servant ...," Bao-Yu's words were interrupted as Hu Liena raised her hand.

"Luqiu, explain it to her!" Pinta Hu Liena to Luqiu who had advanced once heard her name mentioned.

"I mean Miss, we're all brothers. But that doesn't mean, we can just call. What you mean by brother is, we're looking after each other, and we're not going to let each other get hurt. Do you understand?" Said Luqiu who was nodding her head back by Bao-Yu.

"Good! Because if you don't understand, you're more stupid than me." Luqiu's repulsive speech made Hu Liena chuckle with her statement.

"Already, already ... I'm sure Bao-Yu must have understood what you said. Is that right, isn't it?" Hu Liena asked as she winked at Bao-Yu.

Bao-Yu immediately nodded and turned his head towards Luqiu. "I understand, Brother!"

Luqiu who was grumbling, instantly fell silent as soon as Bao-Yu called her Big Brother.

He has lived as an orphan since he was a child. And today, it was only the first time in his life that someone called Big Brother.

"You heard that, didn't you, Luqiu? Bao-Yu already understood all your words, so stop sulking like that." Said Hu Liena which made Luqiu blush in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I was just too excited." Reply Luqiu who was still feeling ashamed towards Hu Liena.

"It's okay Luqiu, just relax. But from today onwards, I leave the matter of Bao-Yu to you. Guide him, so as not to fall into the trap of the cunning people in this residence. And remember! I don't like it, if anyone betrays me." Hu Liena said firmly to Luqiu.

Bao-Yu also heard Hu Liena's entire speech, but he did not interrupt at all. He just watched, and remembered all his words.

After all, his first meeting with Hu Liena was already a special impression for Bao-yu.

"Well Miss, I'll teach her, as much as I can." Luqiu said obediently.

After her conversation with Luqiu was over, Hu Liena told her two servants to rest faster.

Hu Liena was also feeling tired, after this day of touring the market with Luqiu. So he also decided to go to bed early again, in order to wake up in a fit condition. And can attend the Palace banquet with a fit body.

In the morning at the flower...

"Miss! I brought you warm water, to clean yourself." Luqiu said as she entered Hu Liena's room.

Hu Liena who was still lazing on the bed, only muttered in response to Luqiu's words.

"Yes!"

"Daughter! Servant too, bring a basket of rose petals for you to soak this morning." Said Bao-Yu who was standing behind Luqiu.

Hu Liena got up from her sleep, then moved down the bed assisted by Luqiu who was ready beside her.

"Thank you!" Hu Liena said to Luqiu.

"Let's Princess, let me help you take a shower today." Bao-Yu said while carrying a flower basket in his hand.

Hu Liena did not reply, she simply moved following the footsteps of Bao-Yu who walked ahead of her.

Finished bathing, Hu Liena was ornamented in such a way by these two servant girls.

Luqiu was in charge of preparing the dress that Hu Liena was about to wear entering the Palace today.

And Bao-Yu, in charge of applying Hu Liena's makeup.

The two of them shoulder to shoulder helped Hu Liena, without scrambling at all.

And of course, Hu Liena was very pleased with the behavior of the two servants.

"Daughter, you look beautiful wearing this dress. This dress fits perfectly, with your personality." Praise Bao-Yu to Hu Liena who looks like a Goddess who descended to earth.

"It's all thanks to Luqiu, she prepared this dress for me. Thank you, Luqiu!" Hu Liena said as she smiled gently towards Luqiu.

"And you're Bao-Yu, thank you, too, for putting my makeup on so pretty." Hu Liena said as she spread a sweet smile towards Bao-Yu.

Luqiu and Bao-Yu were flattered, receiving such praise from his master.

"Miss! I did not expect, if the Earrings that look simple yesterday, will be very charming when you wear it." Said Luqiu while glancing towards the Earrings that Hu Liena was wearing.

Hu Liena nodded, it is true that Luqiu said. If this earring looks different from yesterday when he saw it in the jewelry store.

"The earrings are indeed very beautiful, and somehow, I seem to have an attachment to this earring." Said Hu Liena while touching the two Earrings attached to her earlobe.

Luqiu noticed the Earrings that Hu Liena was wearing, she also felt familiar with the Earrings. But Luqiu did not want to guess, maybe it was just a coincidence, or there was indeed a similar Earrings, which he had seen before.
