"Miss… Miss… are you waking up already?" Xiao Nie asked her young miss from outside the door.
"Yes… what happened?" she sat down and see her loyal maid is coming inside the room with a basin for her to wash her faces.
"Miss Ni Lang is going to enter the palace soon. We hear that the palanquin will arrive at the Mansion. We have to be ready in the hall when Miss Ni Lang gives the last bow to Master and Madame Ni… Quickly Miss… I will prepare your new outfit after you wash your face and brush your teeth," Xiao Nie is giving orders to her miss.

They have to live with the military rules and sometimes rougher live when her miss is going on an expedition.
"How long it will take you to draw on my face?"
"Miss… you are a girl who needs to dress. How about if the young general got other women because you do not put makeup and dress?" Xiao Nie is starting to nag to her miss.
"It means he did not love me… why should we torture ourselves and sacrificing for man? If they love us, then they have to accept us," Ni Qing is telling her loyal maid while pinching her nose. She wears her mothers jade bangle on her hand. The only legacy left by her birth mother. She wears it everywhere even to the war with Lin Yue.
