As she spoke, she casually picked up a jade bracelet from the dressing table and placed it on her wrist, saying, "This is a reward for you, you must not speak of this to anyone. You haven't slept for two nights, have you? Look, your dark circles are showing. Go back and get some sleep..."
Chun Liu pursed her lips, giving Cai Wei a pitiful glance, and reluctantly stepped back. Even though her mistress had rewarded her with a jade bracelet, she still could not feel happy, sobbing softly, "Mistress got beaten..."
After dismissing Chun Liu, she called Xiao Zhi to come in and help her with her makeup and dress.
She was already awake, and therefore had no excuse to avoid meeting those madams, although she disliked such social obligations. However, as she was the Empress and for the sake of her man, she had to face such occasions.
