Because the Jing Prince had spent the night twice in Xiao Hua's room, the layout had been rearranged a couple of times.

Initially it was decorated according to standards one level lower than a concubine. Unexpectedly the Jing Prince had spent two nights there. The first time might have been because he was too tired and didn't want to move, but once he stayed a second night the situation didn't seem quite as ordinary anymore.

Eunuch Fu had always been meticulous, so he rearranged Xiao Hua's room after the fact. Not only were the things on the bed upgraded to something more ornate and exquisite, the decorations in the room had also been switched. Originally her bed was already a palanquin bed, but perhaps Eunuch Fu had thought it too small and switched it for a wider, more magnificent and sturdier palanquin bed.

The room was divided by a patterned agarwood screen into an inner and outer area. The outer area was used as a living room and the inner area was for sleeping. The decorations on the cabinet had been switched as well, and one could clearly tell they were considerably valuable at a glance.

Seeing her room undergo vast changes until it became similar to a treasure vault made Xiao Hua space out a little.

She had seen such situations before. If the master favors a concubine, he would naturally not be stingy and bestow various objects to show his appreciation. However in her past life she had to use many schemes to please the 4th young master before he would be willing to give such things. Unexpectedly in this life, someone had already prepared everything without her having to do anything.

How considerate. Of course, Xiao Hua lamented that this consideration was from Eunuch Fu, and not the Jing Prince. Although she still wasn't able to see through the prince, she was aware that he wouldn't be mindful of such things. Although she didn't want to admit it, Xiao Hua clearly understood that she was just a plaything to the Jing Prince, a plaything that warmed the bed.

Since someone was handing her things, she might as well accept them. Just treat it as something in exchange for her suffering.

Eunuch Fu didn't say anything regarding Xiao Hua's work, so she continued to honestly work her shift every day. Apart from living in a nicer place and wearing slightly nicer clothes compared to other palace maids, Xiao Hua's situation was still the same as before. The way other people looked at her had changed, but Xiao Hua didn't care about these things and turned a deaf ear to it.

This day the Jing Prince wasn't present. Seeing the sky turn dark, Xiao Hua finished her meal and returned to her room.

Perhaps since she had to serve the prince every once in a while, she received another benefit that others didn't. Every night she would be given water to take a bath. After returning to her room, two low-ranked eunuchs would prepare water and carry it over for her to use.

At first Xiao Hua didn't understand what was going on. Seeing people bring over water, she had honestly received it. After several times, she had pretty much figured out the meaning behind this situation.

Undoubtedly this was Eunuch Fu's intentions. It had to be said this Eunuch Fu was quite considerate. Apart from laughing about it, Xiao Hua didn't know how else to react.

And therefore, when the low-ranked eunuchs again showed up, this time to present her with so called "clothes to wear at night while sleeping", she had received them without saying a word.

There were two pieces to the clothing, and the appearance was something she had never seen before. But holding the clothes in her hand, she knew what they were for. In her past life, she didn't lack for these types of clothing.

Xiao Hua's biggest strength was that she was discreet and tactful. When she couldn't afford to offend anyone, she would be well behaved.

Even if that set of clothing appeared to be extremely indecent, after her bath she always put them on when she went to bed. Who knows when the lord might show up? Eunuch Fu that old bastard probably thought the same way.
