Don't do it after Chapter 341
Looking at the woman's lively and beautiful face, Chu Junting's lips unconsciously curled up, and he asked, "You only have one personal maidservant serving you now?"
"There were originally two, but didn't you see one of them back then?"
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. She recalled that the first time she crossed paths with Chu Junting was when she went to the Liu family to settle accounts.
Chu Junting also remembered, "The one who was bribed by Qin Shuangshuang?"
Song Ruozhen nodded, then felt something was off, "Why are you paying so much attention to my maid today?"
"They failed yesterday, and they probably won't give up easily. I can't be by your side every moment."
"I still have to deal with the flood in a few days, and I'm really worried about you, so I've chosen two skilled maids for you. What do you think?" Chu Junting said.
Seeing the man so frankly say that he was worried about her, Song Ruozhen's eyes flickered, but she felt a little happy inside.
"Does the Chu Prince's residence also have maids skilled in martial arts?"
"Most of them are men, but there are also some female guards. Given your status, they are naturally more suitable."
They disguise themselves as maids in ordinary times, but can protect you immediately in case of danger. They are quite capable and carry signal flares so they can call for help immediately in case of danger.
Chu Junting's eyes were serious as he thought it over and decided that this was the safest way.
Song Ruozhen understood that this was carefully selected by Chu Junting for her, so that it could protect her and would not be easily noticed by others.
"Yunyang, bring the person up."
Soon, two maids were brought up.
Song Ruozhen sized up the two maids in front of her. They were about eighteen years old and had rather pretty faces.
However, compared to the maids they usually saw, these two had more resolute and sharp eyes, and their demure and obedient appearance made them seem very well-behaved. They were obviously pretending to be maids, which did not seem out of place at all.
"Bai Zhi and Qing Teng greet Miss."
The two bowed respectfully.
“From today onwards, you will all stay with Ruozhen and protect her safety.”
"I obey my orders."
This time, the two knelt on one knee, performing a military salute.
Song Ruozhen took in the whole scene and could easily guess the identities of the two. She had heard that many powerful families would train assassins, and that some noble ladies would also have assassins protecting them.
These people were trained from childhood, were extremely loyal, and were willing to give their lives for their master.
"From now on, you will stay in the inner courtyard with Chenxiang," Song Ruozhen said with a slight smile.
Soon, the small kitchen had heated up breakfast. When Chenxiang returned, she was surprised to find that there were two more maids in the young lady's courtyard.
“Chenxiang, these are Baizhi and Qingteng. From now on, they will serve you in the courtyard just like you,” Song Ruozhen introduced.
"Yes, ma'am."
Chenxiang nodded blankly, wondering if her performance yesterday was so poor that her mistress had two new maids selected.
Seeing that Chenxiang went in cheerful but came out dejected, Yunyang couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Guard Yunyang, I'm so useless. Miss must be disgusted with me," Chenxiang said with a mournful face.
"You were scolded by Miss Song?"
"No, Miss is such a kind person. Even if I do something wrong, she will only remind me and will not scold me."
Chenxiang waved her hands repeatedly, saying that there was no one better than Miss in the world, which was why she was even more upset.
"Then what's wrong with you?" Yunyang asked, completely bewildered.
Chenxiang thought for a moment, then looked at Yunyang with hope, “Guard Yunyang, you are highly skilled in martial arts, could you teach me?”
Yesterday, Miss was in danger, and not only was I unable to help at all, but she also had to protect me. If I knew martial arts, I could protect Miss from now on.
"Hasn't the prince already chosen two maids who know martial arts to give to Miss Song?"
Bai Zhi and Qing Teng are both highly skilled in martial arts; they were handpicked by the Prince. Why do you still need to learn martial arts?
Yunyang glanced at Chenxiang and said, "Martial arts training usually starts from childhood. You're only starting now, which is a bit late. It's not that easy."
Immersed in grief, Chenxiang was taken aback at first upon hearing this, then her eyes widened in surprise, "You mean these two maids were sent by the Prince?"
“Yes.” Yunyang nodded.
"That's alright then." Chenxiang patted her chest with a smile, relieved, her face brightening again. "The Prince is so good to Miss!"
Yunyang: "???"
Looking at the breakfast in front of her, all of which were her favorite flavors, Song Ruozhen was secretly surprised that Chu Junting knew her preferences so well!
"What? It's not to your liking?" Chu Junting asked, seeing that Song Ruozhen hadn't touched her chopsticks and was just staring at him.
Song Ruozhen shook her head, "These are all my favorite foods, how did you know?"
"If you don't even know what your crush likes, then you're being too careless," Chu Junting chuckled. "You were tired yesterday, so eat something good today."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, not at all reserved, and ate very comfortably in front of Chu Junting.
"The medicine I sent you before is commonly used in the military; it works very well. Remember to apply it later, and the pain will subside quickly." Chu Junting's gaze swept around the room. "Where is it?"
"The incense is placed beside the bed. I'll apply the medicine in a bit." Song Ruozhen nodded slightly; her leg injury was really too much trouble.
Chu Junting stood up and strode over to Song Ruozhen's bedside. Just as he was about to pick up the medicine bottle, he saw a set of black clothes placed beside him.
The black fabric has a very high-quality feel, and the dark red lining is embroidered with a golden cloud pattern, which complements the cuffs perfectly and looks very nice.
Needles and thread were placed next to the clothes, indicating that the embroidery on them was all handmade.
Chu Junting unconsciously recalled seeing Song Ruozhen make new clothes for the whole family when he was at Luoshenfang. He didn't expect that she would make one for herself as well, and he wondered who she had made it for.
The four Song brothers are truly blessed!
"Did you make this dress yourself?"
Song Ruozhen turned her head and saw Chu Junting's gaze fall on the robe beside the bed. She was startled subconsciously, feeling like she had been caught red-handed, but she quickly calmed down.
I was planning to give it to him in a couple of days, but I didn't expect to be seen by him right now, so I might as well give it to him today!
“Yes,” Song Ruozhen replied.
Chu Junting lowered his eyes and said, "Embroidery is too hard on the eyes. From now on, let the embroiderers do this kind of thing. Don't tire yourself out."
Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Chu Junting was surprised that Song Ruozhen would be so obedient, and while he was surprised, he was also quite happy.
The next moment, he saw Song Ruozhen hop and skip to him and hand him the clothes on the bed.
"This is a gift for you. I originally planned to give it to you in a couple of days, but since you've seen it today, why don't you take it home and try it on to see if it fits?"
