Chapter Sixty-Four: Help Me Measure the Size
“I’m so sorry, really sorry, Classmate Leia. We listened to others’ slanders and shouldn’t have discriminated against you or bullied you…”
Hearing the once arrogant offspring of nobles and aristocrats apologize one by one in front of her.
Leia, who had been a bit scared before, now slightly puffed up her not-so-full chest.
Yifu looked at her precious child becoming a little brighter and couldn’t help but feel a bit more relieved.
The smile on her lips never stopped.
Yifu was simply too beautiful, and the look of her comforted smile seemed able to melt the ice and snow of winter directly.
It left everyone present dumbfounded, even Cherillian’s gaze was completely drawn to Yifu.
Yifu thought everyone’s attention was on Leia, but little did she know, all eyes were on her at that moment.
And she had no awareness of it at all, just smiling away, causing everyone present to have their hearts race.
Even the offspring of the nobles and aristocrats gawked and stared, with even the two rare girls among them shocked to the point of nearly dropping their jaws.
Had anyone mentioned how beautiful Leia’s mother was, who would dare bully Leia? They would be too eager to curry favor…
So, ma’am, what’s your contact information?
“Are you happy now?”
Stepping out of the office, Leia couldn’t help but let out a sigh, as if all the grievances she had accumulated over time were released with that breath.
Those who had once looked down on her were now all apologizing to her with humility, bowing low.
Seeing them like that, Leia’s excited and flushed face was radiant.
But the key point was the heavy money pouch in her hand, which contained a whole twenty gold coins.
Twenty coins! That was money that Leia might take many years to earn through hard work.
Yifu’s weekly salary was only ten silver coins, and after expenses, it would take her a long time to save up those twenty gold coins.
However, Yifu was a witch, and money wasn’t a concern for her as long as she had enough.
So she wasn’t particularly interested in the money pouch in Leia’s hand, but Leia, looking at the heavy pouch, had her eyes nearly glued to it.
Yifu felt that the child seemed to really like money… was it because she was afraid of being poor when she was young?
“Well… I guess so.”
Leia pouted and muttered softly.
After all, she had been bullied for so long, even almost missing her chance to graduate.
Naturally, gaining Leia’s forgiveness wasn’t that easy. A few apologies were far from the harm Leia had suffered.
Therefore, under the Empress’s guidance, before Leia forgave these wealthy young masters, they had to try every possible way to please her and gain her consent.
They said that these children should please Leia, but it was really more about leveraging their powerful family backgrounds.
The families of these dozen people were involved in various industries across the entire empire, and since Leia was about to graduate from the Church Academy, she would definitely need to enter the workforce afterward.
No matter which aspect Leia chose, there would at least be someone to support her and guide her towards serving the Imperial Royal Family.
This was what Cherillian wanted to see.
Of course, she had another concern hidden in her heart.
“Miss Yifu, I have solved your problem. I also have a small favor to ask from you.”
Cherillian’s words made Yifu pause slightly; she didn’t understand what she could do for the Empress, after all, she was the Empress…
The only thing she could do to help her was probably…
No way!
Your Majesty, I’m already a mother, so I might not be able to help you…
“The dress Leia is wearing looks really nice; could you tell me which master designed it? I just happen to need to customize a new dress to attend an important meeting.”
“I’ve looked for so many tailors and haven’t been satisfied. But the design of the one on Leia caught my heart.”
Cherillian was examining Leia’s dress closely as she spoke. The design was exquisite, with even the stitching intentionally hidden, making the dress seem as if it were naturally meant to be.
“This… I made it myself.”
“You made it yourself?”
Cherillian was clearly surprised; she hadn’t expected that her precious daughter’s friend was not only skilled in magic but also beautiful and talented.
“If the Empress doesn’t mind, I could try to make one for you. After all, you’ve helped us with such a big favor.”
“Great! It’s settled then. Come to the palace another day and help me measure the size.”
Cherillian truly wanted a dress like that, so she quickly agreed.
In fact, to ensure the dress’s effectiveness, she even allowed Yifu to measure her body size in detail.
“Okay, no problem.”
Yifu agreed somewhat bewilderedly, but just as she finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to realize something…
Helping the Empress measure her size meant…
Seeing the Empress wear only her underwear or even nothing at all?
