Suggested by Maomao and ordered by the Emperor himself, you had became somewhat like an advisor for Lady Lishu alongside her ladies-in-waiting. You were startled once seeing how young she was despite being told beforehand. You simply believed she would be around 18-19 maybe, just certainly not this young…

You were unsure of why exactly you had to be her advisor, until you noticed how her ladies-in-waiting behaved towards her exactly. Taking advantage of her young age; they’d manipulate her and have her wear certain clothes that’ll humiliate her no doubt and earn her a few looks from people, they’d condescend her, and act oh-so higher than her.

Your blood boiled at the sight, in disbelief at how grown women could be so cruel to an innocent child. And today was a perfect example for you; she wore a robe that had an…Orange design to it, not fitting the theme of the ceremony one bit. You already had a hunch on who exactly suggested for her to wear it.

Lishu blinked in surprise when she felt your hands trace a part of the robe, inspecting the orange color to it with a skeptical look as she peered up at you, “I-Is there something wrong with my robe? The ladies told me it’d look pretty on me! Doesn’t it?!” She cheerfully asked, grinning up at you.

This sweet, oblivious child…Your gaze lingered on her for awhile before it drifted over to her ladies-in-waiting who were snickering not-so discreetly to each other at the sight, earning them a glare from you.
