"And dear brother, they ordered me to fetch water out in the cold night and when I'm at the entrance, they grabbed the bucket and splashed me with water! leaving me cold and shivering while they laugh!" The young lady, Mai Xie Li also her beloved younger sister cried in his arms, telling him how she was mistreated by the other consorts and concubines while she was a noble consort, a higher rank among them made his heart ache as he clutched his sobbing mess of a sister close to him.
"Stop crying now Xie Xie, your big brother will think of a plan to stop them!" He stated, voice filled with utter concern and a hidden sadness as he wiped the tears streaming down her sister's soft pale cheeks.
Even though her make up was smeared with tears, she was still so lovely in his eyes and the sudden thought of those ignorant women harassing his beloved sister was making his blood boil with rage.
'No one shall make my sister cry!' he declared thoughtfully as a plan came to his mind, he gently pushed his sister away, running towards his sister's luggages and started rummaging through her clothes.
Her sister stared at him confused.
"What are you doing dear Brother?" she asked, coming after him.
"I'm taking your place!" he declared proudly, grabbing one of his sister's gown and started wearing it without shame.
His sister stared at him in horror, watching him put on her clothes and applying make up on his handsome face, turning it feminine.
"Brother have you lost your mind!?" His sister exclaimed incredulously, watching him turn to face her but he knew the face she saw was a replica of her own self the way his sister's expression turned into shock.
"B-brother?" His sister gasped, staring at his face. A smirk plastered into his face while he stuffed his chest with cloth to make it look like a pair of large breasts.
"Isn't this great Xie Xie? I heard lots of folks whispering how much our face look exactly the same and now I have no doubts they're telling the truth!"
"B-but brother what if—" He cut off her sister by placing a finger on her soft plump lips gently.
"Hush now Xie Xie, your suffering will no longer continue for you shall stay here at home and I'll take your place at the Royal Palace" He put his arms in his hips, attempting a girlish pose and failing miserable, making his sister choke a laugh that made him smile.
"Today, I will go back to the palace as you and you will stay here at the manor enjoying the comfort of our home!" He declared proudly, stomping in a determined way towards his quarters to pack up some of her sister's clothes, he was uncomfortable but he's ready to sacrifice anything just to see his beloved sister smile.
"I'm so smart, I'm sure Xie Xie is proud to have such brother as me" He smiled, packing his baggage faster as he started to imagine how much his sister loved him.
Meanwhile....
"My Lady, your brother was very worried, I don't think this is a good idea" a servant stated, watching Mai eat meat like a pig.
"Oh come on now, I hate that place, they have strict rules, all I can eat are leaves!" Mai stated, stuffing her mouth with pork. The servant looked upstairs sadly, hearing Jin's cheerful humming as he packed his luggage.
"Well, I hope your brother won't find out about this My Lady" the servant stated worriedly. Mai just waved her hand to dismiss the servant as she continued to stuff food to her mouth endlessly.
'Oh sweet brother of mine, I'm not being maltreated in the Royal palace, they're such good people but I can't eat meat, sorry if I tricked you but you're such an airhead sometimes, I hope you enjoy your time in the palace' Mai smiled at the explanation she thought on her head if her brother ever found out.
