As Feng Jiu was dress in a maid outfit that she had gotten just today as she applies for being the new Taichen Palace maid, she could pay her to finish debt in no time. If it weren't the help of Lord Siming who had to spark her the great ideas or Lord Cheng Yu, Feng Jiu had a fear that she wouldn't be able to pay it off. As Feng Jiu was entering the palace, she suddenly got pull over by a strong force.

"Your highness! Hey!" 

"Oh, Lord Siming." She said with a smile as she notices him and waves to him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked her.

"Oh, paying a debt."

The long signs were shown buffering out of Siming's mouth as he looks at her.

"But Dijun-" He tried to reminded her of what kind of person Dijun was.

However, her highness didn't listen as she interrupted Lord Siming.

"He said he doesn't need it. But-" 

"Is true that he saved a beauty..." Siming mutters under his breath as he realizes his own mistake. No wonder the Nine Heavens were a bit more festive today. His hand covered his mouth preventing him from saying any more words. Earlier this morning as he was going to check Dijun's soon to be mortal realm experience he had overheard from 3rd prince Lian Song and Lord Cheng Yu.

"Donghua, just the other day." Lian Song boasted. "Did you know Lord Cheng Yu his name is on the Qing Qiu's future husband for the Princess there."

Hearing that Lord Cheng Yu snickered as she begins to cross her hands.

"Rascal..." She mutters loudly underneath her breath for him to hear before smacking his shoulder flirtatiously with her fan. "Listen, the Princess of Qing Qiu-"

"Cheng Yu did you know he also saved that beauty. No wonder he was acting so strange that day." Lian Song then interrupted her as he winks at her. "Donghua Dijun never attends court. He hated the crowds since I knew him. Could it be he spent his time to see this beauty?"

Hearing that Siming had rushed back to his study trying to read Dijun's fate and fortune over the next thousands of years. And indeed it had changed. It had changed too much and a bit too fast. So, it seems the beauty who he had saved will she be affected too? If he finds her, he would have erased her from Dijun's life before the world would be affected.

But who would have known the beauty was the young princess of Qing Qiu who was only 35,000 years old whom in the future would be known as the 'empress.' If Lord Siming had laid his hands on her, surely the Bai family would hunt him down for generation. So, there wasn't much he could do except stand to look at her highness dress in a maid outfit to repay her debt. 

"Siming~," She said his name as her eyes began to water and her mouth began to pout. "We Qing Qiu foxes must repay the favor. So what about I dress as a fairy maid to serve him?"

Hearing that Siming's face had to fluster as he looks at her quickly.

"No! That's ridiculous!"

Her sighs had grown longer as she looks at him.

"Then what should I do to repay it? Dijun, being all-powerful and influential he is, he probably doesn't need anyone to help him."

"But your highness, you're the future empress of Qing Qiu." He then reminded her. "Is beneath your dignity to do so."

Her hands began to shakes at him as she let out a long sigh.

 "I won't tell them then." Using her magic she canceled her phoenix feather flower on her forehead and with a smile, she looks at him. "And if I don't repay his favor what will happen to me when I'm Empress. People will mock me for sure. And Lord Siming by that time can you endure to see me like this?"
