We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? Chapter 453: Sister Sili… You’ve Gone Too Far!

After Ning Wei left with Spring Swallow, she went to Bai Ruxue’s sleeping palace to help tidy up.

“In the past, only I was allowed to take care of our mistress’s room.

“After all, I’ve been with our mistress for more than ten years. As for the other palace maids, I don’t fully trust them. I always feel that among the maids of the Hall of Congealed Snow, someone must have been bribed by the Hall of Holding Wine. If our mistress were to become pregnant and someone secretly put musk in the room, that would be real trouble.

“But from now on, you can help me take care of the Hall of Congealed Snow too. After all, you were sent here from the Yan Residence, and the young lady said your character is good, so I’ll believe it.

“From now on, we’re on the same side. Not like the other palace maids. Understood?”

Spring Swallow spoke while cleaning the room.

Ning Wei quickly nodded. “Understood, Sister Spring Swallow. But, Sister Spring Swallow...”

Ning Wei looked around the room with curiosity.

“Consort Xue’s sleeping palace is really clean. It doesn’t even seem like there’s anything that needs cleaning.”

The room was extremely neat and spotless. Ning Wei felt there was hardly any need to clean at all. There was even a faint fragrance lingering in the air.

It was not the smell of rouge.

It was the natural scent coming from Consort Xue herself.

“You noticed that too? Actually, sometimes I feel our mistress doesn’t seem like a mistress at all.”

Spring Swallow puffed her cheeks slightly as she replaced the tea leaves, muttering softly.

“Since she was young, she’s done many things herself, and she does them very cleanly and efficiently, as if she’s done every kind of housework countless times before.

“Even now, things like changing the tea leaves or wiping the table — our mistress deliberately leaves those for us to do. She’s afraid we’ll have nothing to do and people will gossip. So you should be quick with your hands too. If there’s work to do, grab it before the mistress does, understand?”

“Understood.”

Ning Wei nodded, and the image of that incomparably beautiful woman from earlier appeared in her mind again.

She’s really so beautiful...

“Sister Spring Swallow, His Majesty is almost here.”

Just as Spring Swallow was instructing Ning Wei, a palace maid ran in and called out.

“Hurry, come with me to greet His Majesty.”

Spring Swallow quickly arranged the tea set on the table, then brought Ning Wei to the entrance of the Hall of Congealed Snow.

Ning Wei stood beside Spring Swallow with her head lowered, waiting for the ruler of Zhou to arrive.

At this moment, Ning Wei gradually began to feel nervous.

She had thought it would take some time before she saw the ruler of Zhou.

She had not expected that she would meet him so soon.

“His Majesty arrives!”

As the announcement sounded, a moment later the ruler of Zhou stepped into the Hall of Congealed Snow.

All the palace maids bowed and said in unison,

“This servant greets Your Majesty.”

“No need for ceremony. Rise.”

Xiao Mo spoke calmly.

The moment Xiao Mo’s familiar voice reached Ning Wei’s ears, she suddenly lifted her head and looked at the man before her.

“Brother Xiao...”

Seeing Xiao Mo’s profile, Ning Wei cried out in her heart.

Her eyes trembled, and her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

She had never expected that she would truly see Brother Xiao inside the Zhou imperial palace.

Compared to a thousand years ago, Brother Xiao had not changed in the slightest.

Only in the past, because he cultivated demonic arts, the killing aura around him had been heavy.

Now, there was a faint sword qi around him, and even a subtle scholarly air.

But no matter what, Brother Xiao was still Brother Xiao. He had never changed.

Just as Ning Wei continued staring at Xiao Mo,

Sili, who was following behind Xiao Mo, seemed to sense something and looked toward Ning Wei.

Ning Wei noticed someone watching her and also looked toward Sili.

“Sister Sili!”

Ning Wei’s heart jumped again.

Sure enough.

Sister Sili really was inside the palace.

Even though Sili had changed her appearance, Ning Wei still recognized her.

Because the bracelet on her left wrist was the birthday gift Ning Wei had given her back then.

She hadn’t expected that Sister Sili had already become Brother Xiao’s maid.

Sure enough, Sister Yunwei had been right.

So many days had passed, and Sister Sili had clearly been staying beside Brother Xiao all this time, yet she kept telling Sister Yunwei that she had not found him.

That meant Sister Sili really did want to keep Brother Xiao all to herself!

When Sili saw Ning Wei appear in the palace, she was also shocked.

But she quickly lifted her wrist slightly and pressed her palm downward in a subtle gesture, signaling Ning Wei not to make a scene for now.

Even though Ning Wei had countless questions in her heart, she knew her limits and could only endure for the moment.

“This consort greets Your Majesty.”

Bai Ruxue stepped forward, bowed slightly to Xiao Mo, and said with a smile,

“It is already late. Allow this consort to serve Your Majesty inside to rest.”

“Good. I will trouble my beloved consort tonight.”

Xiao Mo nodded and wrapped an arm around Bai Ruxue’s slender, smooth waist as they walked into the sleeping chamber together.

In the eyes of the palace maids, His Majesty and Her Highness were deeply affectionate, their eyes full of warmth for one another.

Some of the more mischievous-minded maids even thought that tonight would once again be a sleepless night for the two of them.

After Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue entered the room, Spring Swallow and Sili remained outside the door on guard.

Although when Consort Xue attended His Majesty, she would use a scroll that even mortals could use to block out sound, they still had to wait outside in case they were needed.

But after one stick of incense’s time, Sili suddenly frowned, pressed a hand to her abdomen, and sucked in a breath, looking very uncomfortable.

“Sister Si Li, what’s wrong?” Spring Swallow asked with concern.

At first, Spring Swallow had not liked Sili very much.

Because Si Li’s figure was far too indecent — almost comparable to her own young lady.

But gradually, Spring Swallow realized that Si Li knew her place. She did not deliberately try to seduce His Majesty, and she was only a maid after all, not much of a threat.

So Spring Swallow gradually lowered her guard, and after some time, the two of them got along fairly well.

“It’s nothing much...” Sili pressed her lips together. “It’s just that my monthly cycle came recently. My stomach hurts terribly. Standing feels like being tortured.”

“Then Sister, go rest for a while. I’ll take care of things here.” Spring Swallow said sympathetically.

“But... what if His Majesty or Her Highness needs something...”

“It’ll be fine.” Spring Swallow also wanted to get on good terms with her, hoping she might say good things about their mistress in front of His Majesty. “You know how it is when Her Highness attends His Majesty. They never call for us.”

“...All right. Then I’ll go sit for a bit.”

Si Li nodded reluctantly.

“Mhm. Drink some hot water. You can rest in my room first,” Spring Swallow said kindly.

“Thank you, Sister Spring Swallow.”

Sili thanked her and walked toward the small courtyard where the palace maids lived.

And just as Sili stepped into the courtyard, Ning Wei was already waiting there.

“Sister Sili... you’ve gone too far!”
