Transmigration: Life In A Novel Is Not Simple! (Dropped)

Chapter 7

Zheng YiRong smiled as she sat in the warm water, rose petals were added and were currently floating around aimlessly. YiRong held her hand up, the one was the new storage ring, and inspected it.

It was black but in the light it seemed silver. There were exactly twelve stones, one was larger than the rest. All the stones had a different symbol and as YiRong turned and twisted the ring, each of the stone became a different color once it caught the light. The largest catching the color of pink. She hasn't touched anything in the ring yet, deciding it would be better to just leave the books in there than having it thrown around until she could no longer find it.

After awhile, Zheng YiRong stood and got out of the bath, grabbing the towel she wrapped it around her before having Xiao Yan dressed her in a elegant and simple hanfu. Exiting her room, Xiao Yan followed behind with a small bow.

According to some of the maids, Zheng YiLing had just visited but left almost immediately when she didn't see her beloved sister around. YiRong shook her head, it would be much better if her sister lived with the imperial family, after all her future soul mate is a prince and also because YiRong wasn't sure if she could stand the overly hyper girl all day. She and YiLing would always spend about three hours a day together and afterwards YiRong would lay on the bed or couch like a broken, limp doll. 

Once she and the others had arrived home, YiRong instructed the maids to help take care of the boys and girl. 

"They're eating right now," Xiao Yan said behind Zheng YiRong. She nodded in acknowledgment and headed towards the dining hall. Her house wouldn't be considered small, in fact it was quite spacious. However, since it stuck out of a mountain it was much much smaller than the palaces of the other royals.

The house consists of five bedrooms, five bathing rooms, a servant's room (an eighth of the house), a servant's bathing room, a kitchen, a library, a dining hall, a pavilion outside above the ponds pull of lotus flowers, and many many more rooms. 

When she arrived at the dining hall her eyes immediately landed on the three people wolfing down food as if it was their last meal. They didn't even realize that YiRong and Xiao Yan had walked in.

YiRong let out a chuckle, soft and melodic, immediately drawing the attention of the two boys and the girl.

"I'm glad you enjoy the food." She said with a smile, YiRong no longer wore a veil or cloak, instead a beautiful blue silk hanfu, completely revealing her charm and beauty. The bright red birthmark on her head shaped in a flower was especially eye catching.

"Miss...?" The boy with silver eyes was now clean. He will undeniably be very attractive when he grows up with silver hair matching his eyes and a sharp jawline. Glancing at the other two, the girl had long blonde hair and hazel eyes while the other boy had ruffled brown hair and sea green eyes. The three of them stared at the ethereal looking YiRong with fascination.

"That would be me." She said, letting her lips shape a smile. The three snapped out of their trance, stood up and bowed. YiRong nodded slightly, they've got the common etiquette down. "Go back to eating your food and please so slow down, nobody's going to be taking it away." The three blushed with embarrassment but sat down obediently.

YiRong went to the table and pulled a chair out next to the silver haired boy and sat down. The three were fidgeting. "Are you not hungry?" YiRong asked, a perfectly shaped brow raised. Almost immediately, the three started to eat again, but they were no longer shoving food down their throats.

After they finished their plate, the maids came and took it away. "Do you want some more food?" The three shook their heads, this was the most full they've ever been. "Well then, I guess I should introduce myself, my name is YiRong." The three looked at each other before the silver haired boy spoke up.

"I'm BaiGui." YiRong hummed in acknowledgement before looking at the others.

"Jinhai." The boy with brown hair said. 

"LiQin." The girl said timidly.

"Hmmm, well it is a pleasure to meet you all, I hope the rooms were to your liking."

"Yes.. thank you very much." LiQin said with a bright smile.

"When.. when do we start working?" Jinhai asked. YiRong simply smiled at the question. This boy was very eager.

"When I say so," came the very vague answer which they pursed their lips to. "I highly doubt you can do much with such weak bodies." She added eyeing their skinny body with a frown.

"We can start tomorrow." BaiGui said but was immediately shut down. 

"Like I said, you can start when I say so. Please don't be rash, I don't want to have fed and sheltered you if you only wish to die." The three exchanged another look.

"Die?" BaiGui asked tensely. YiRong just chuckled.

"I certainly am not planning on having you to be just maids or whatnot. I plan on training you as a guard" nodding to the boys, "or possibly even a doctor." Glancing at the girl. The three again exchanged looks. "It's up to you ultimately. The only answer I would say no to is a common servant. I have enough of them." 

There was only silence until YiRong spoke again, "You don't have to tell me now or tomorrow, tell me whenever you want. I'll let you think about it." YiRong stood up before walking out of the dining hall gesturing for Xiao Yan to lead the three to their rooms and as she went out, she threw one last smile. 

Xiao Yan looked to the three. "Please follow me." She said politely. The three got up and followed Xiao Yan down the halls. "My lady told me these are your rooms, she also told me to tell you to sleep well. Have a good night." Xiao Yan gave a small bow before turning.

"Wait!" BaiGui called. Xiao Yan turned around. "Who is your lady?" Xiao Yan looked up at the boy up and into the silver eyes. 

"My lady will tell you when she wants."

"Can you just tell us her status, it'll help us better know what to call her by."

"...She's a princess however she would prefer if you call her miss or lady rather than your highness." Xiao Yan answered and left, leaving the three to once again exchange glances. This time, it was all surprise rather than communication.
