Chapter 46: I Can Only Give You My Most Precious Thing
Under the coaxing of the maid, Her Highness Princess Alice finally agreed to dress properly to meet Miss Yifu.
It wasn’t like Yifu would come upstairs and find Alice in nothing but a thin, slightly translucent cute white stocking.
It still had a touch of lace trim defining the absolute territory on her thighs, along with a reinforced toe design.
It was like a delicious dish that not only provided a refreshing visual experience but also locked in the natural flavors of the ingredients.
To be honest, seeing her princess, whom she had taken care of since childhood, trying to please Yifu made the maid feel uneasy.
It wasn’t that she was unhappy about Yifu charming her beloved little cabbage, but rather that Yifu wasn’t even interested in Alice at all.
It was clear that Yifu’s attitude towards Alice was the same as that of those who were both maids and mothers.
It was simply pure affection and fondness, like caring for a cute pet lamb; you would enjoy its antics and playfulness but would never feel angry with it.
What the maid truly couldn’t stand was seeing her princess unreciprocated in her unrequited love.
“Sorry to interrupt, Her Highness Princess Alice, you look…”
Yifu was slightly surprised. She originally wanted to comment on how Alice was dressed so warmly today, was she feeling cold?
After all, this was the first time they were meeting privately and Alice was dressed so neatly.
Knowing Alice’s personality, even with her maid present, she would usually shed five to six layers at least.
Only after sending the maid away would she fully reveal herself, treating Yifu as if she were not an outsider at all.
To be honest, after observing so many times, Yifu knew exactly where the princess had a mole.
“You look really beautiful today.”
Yifu smiled awkwardly, thankful that she hadn’t spoken her true thoughts out loud, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
“Come on in, I’ve been waiting for you. Please take a seat.”
Alice naturally wrapped her arms around Yifu, and her endearing demeanor made the maid beside them feel embarrassed.
“Uh… Your Highness, there’s plenty of room here, you don’t have to sit on my lap, do you?”
Yifu looked a bit awkwardly at the petite girl sitting on her thigh; wearing a splendidly split princess dress matched with cute little white stockings, she looked like a delicate doll sitting on Yifu’s lap.
Of course, it would have been even better if her little hand didn’t keep wandering to Yifu’s black stockings.
“I know.”
Alice nodded but showed no intention of moving away, sticking to Yifu as if she didn’t want to budge an inch.
“Actually, I came here because I have something I’d like to ask of you. I hope you can help me… I really don’t have another way out.”
Yifu sighed softly, silently reminding herself “it’s all for the child,” and made up her mind to speak with Alice.
“Hmm, I already know what’s going on.”
Alice nodded, rubbing her soft little face against Yifu’s chest while softly mumbling.
“You already know?”
“Yeah, after all, it’s caused quite a commotion. There’s even the grandson of an imperial merit, and I spent quite a bit of effort settling the matter.”
Alice gazed at Yifu, looking as if she had indeed made a lot of effort and sacrifices for her.
Her soft little eyes made Yifu feel a pang of guilt.
“You’ve already helped me… I’m really sorry for causing such a big trouble.”
“Oh, why are you so formal? We’re family; we don’t need to be so polite with each other.”
Her Highness Princess Alice gently interrupted Yifu, and looking at her obedient and understanding demeanor, Yifu felt a little dazed for a moment.
Why was the princess being so well-behaved this time? Looking at her adorable behavior, even Alice’s little hand stealthily touching Yifu’s thigh seemed much more appealing.
“However, I did put in a lot of effort to help you; just arranging everything took quite a bit of thought.”
“So, Miss Yifu, how are you going to repay me?”
Her Highness Princess Alice smiled at Yifu, and though she didn’t say the formulaic lines…
Her eyes seemed to have already expressed those words thousands of times.
After all, my dear, you wouldn’t want to…
“Okay, I understand. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world; if that’s the case, I can only give you my most precious thing.”
A hint of hesitation flickered in Yifu’s beautiful eyes.
“Really?”
Alice was overjoyed; the most precious thing, could it be Miss Yifu’s… first time?
Wow!
If it weren’t for the burden of being a princess still constraining her, Alice would probably be jumping three feet high right now.
