Chapter 142 Imitating Others: Laziness and Rudeness
Green Lotus didn't think much of it and simply told Li Mo'er, "Madam Li, the Imperial Clothing Bureau may not have any suitable clothes. Perhaps..." we could have the tailor take our measurements first.
Before Lühe could finish speaking, Li Mo'er glared at her.
"If you can't even do this little thing right, what's the point of having you? I don't care, you have to get me these clothes."
When Green Lotus heard Li Mo'er suddenly become aggressive and sarcastic, she was somewhat incredulous.
I've spent these past two days and nights with her, so why has she suddenly changed like this?
When Li Mo'er saw Lü He in a daze, she thought that Lü He didn't take her words seriously, but just two days ago, Lü He had been very obedient to Qian Duoduo.
Thinking of this, Li Mo'er instantly flew into a rage. She grabbed the medicine bowl from beside the bed and threw it at Lü He.
"Hurry up and go! What are you standing there for!"
The bowl hit the back of Green Lotus's hand. The sudden pain brought her back to her senses, and she quickly lowered her head and went out to find her clothes.
Green Lotus gently rubbed the back of her hand, unable to understand why Madam Li's temperament had changed so drastically.
She even wondered if it was all a dream, but the pain in her hand reminded her that it was all real.
But she soon found herself in a predicament. Lady Li asked her to find clothes, but where was she supposed to find them? All the clothes in the Imperial Clothing Bureau were made in advance.
However, given Li Niangzi's temper, if she doesn't take it back, she'll probably get a beating.
After much deliberation, she decided to seek help from the Fifth Prince.
When she met the Fifth Prince, she stammered and didn't know how to start the conversation.
"Green Lotus, what brings you to see me?"
The Fifth Prince was somewhat surprised. Usually, Green Lotus would come to see him only after he had met with Li Mo'er. Today, she had come so early.
"Fifth Prince, Lady Li wishes to have two sets of elegant and beautiful clothes."
The Fifth Prince raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; this was the first time she had made a request.
He thought it was something serious, but it was just a small matter. He waved his hand and said, "Come back and have the master take her measurements."
Green Lotus lowered her head, staring at her toes, and answered sullenly.
"Lady Li needs it urgently."
The Fifth Prince summoned a palace maid and asked her to buy two outfits from a clothing store outside the palace, based on Li Mo'er's figure.
After giving his orders, the Fifth Prince sat there somewhat restless. He wondered why Li Mo'er had suddenly asked for clothes. Had she come to her senses?
He secretly decided that he should tidy himself up before going to see her.
Green Lotus hesitated as she walked to the door, debating whether or not to tell the Fifth Prince about Lady Li's sudden change.
However, she was also afraid that Madam Li was just in a bad mood at the moment, which was why she was acting this way.
She turned to look at the Fifth Prince with unease and saw a hopeful smile on his face.
Green Lotus silently shook her head, deciding it was better not to tell the Fifth Prince, who was so happy right now.
The moment she touched the door, she couldn't help but turn back.
"Fifth Prince, Lady Li is unwell, so please do not go today."
Green Lotus closed her eyes and quickly finished speaking. She still subconsciously protected Li Mo'er, after all, she had seen how good Li Mo'er had been these past two days.
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince immediately stood up and asked, "How is she? Is it serious? Has the imperial physician been summoned?"
Seeing the worry in the Fifth Prince's eyes, Green Lotus bit her lower lip but still didn't tell the truth.
"It's not serious, you're fine now, you just need to rest more."
Green Lotus wasn't lying; that's exactly what the imperial physician told her.
"I'll go..." to check.
The fifth prince was about to go and look when he stopped in his tracks. Perhaps she didn't want to see him.
Then, he slumped into a chair, utterly dejected.
Just two days ago, she was feeling sorry for Lady Li being trapped in the palace; today, she feels a little sorry for the Fifth Prince being trapped by love.
"hiss--"
The pain on the back of her hand pulled Green Lotus back to reality. She sighed helplessly, thinking that she should spend this time taking care of herself instead.
Seeing Green Lotus return empty-handed, Li Mo'er unsurprisingly lashed out at her again.
If it weren't for the many people and eyes in the palace, she would have taken action directly.
Only after Green Lotus repeatedly assured her that the food would be delivered within half an hour did she calm down.
Li Mo'er sat in front of the bronze mirror, letting Lühe do her hair and makeup, as she herself did not know how to do these things.
Green Lotus was still recovering from the storm when she was suddenly asked to style her hair.
After being reprimanded twice in a row, Lühe had developed a stress response. She first instinctively backed away before mustering the courage to step forward.
Because she was afraid of being beaten and scolded again, she was always very careful, lest she hurt her.
However, being so careful naturally prevents one from going very fast.
Seeing that Lühe was dawdling, Li Mo'er spoke up in an annoyed tone.
"Hurry up, it'll be late soon."
Green Lotus simply nodded, quickening her pace without asking why it was late.
In the past, she would have been happy to style Li Niangzi's hair, but now she felt like she was being executed.
Because he was distracted for a moment, he accidentally pulled a hair on Li Mo'er's head.
Li Mo'er's admiring gaze immediately turned fierce, and she shoved Lü He away.
"You're so clumsy. If you hurt me again, I might as well die."
Green Lotus trembled with fear. She could tell that Madam Li was not joking with her, but was genuinely dissatisfied with her and had murderous intent.
After Green Lotus finished dressing her up, her clothes were brought over.
Li Mo'er picked up the clothes and held them up against herself, finally choosing a light green one.
It's not because of its complicated design or its refreshing colors, but simply because it's covered in gold thread, which makes it look elegant and luxurious.
Li Mo'er quickly changed her clothes and then sat down to wait for the Fifth Prince to arrive.
She imitated Qian Duoduo, sitting casually and lazily.
However, Qian Duoduo gives people a feeling of being carefree and easygoing, while she acts like a rude street thug.
Green Lotus lowered her head, increasingly confused; it was as if she were a completely different person.
When Li Mo'er got tired of sitting, she would put her feet up on the table where the snacks were placed, but she would remember it from time to time and sit up straighter.
Feeling that the time was almost up, she tried her best to maintain that "lazy" sitting posture, though it was slightly stiff.
She even managed a smile, her eyes fixed on the doorway, stiffly waiting for the Fifth Prince to arrive.
If it weren't inappropriate, Lühe would have loved to laugh out loud. What kind of ridiculous imitation is this?
However, a quarter of an hour passed, and Li Mo'er's hands and feet were numb, and her face was stiff from smiling, but the Fifth Prince still hadn't arrived.
