TWO PEAS IN A POD

BLACK was sulking but still diligently combing Aurum's long golden hair. "Why does Black have to brush Aurum's hair?" he asked, full of dissatisfaction.

"Because you're my little maid," Aurum answered while looking at the set of beautiful hairpins in front of her.

Today was the hairpin ceremony of the seventh princess. Aurum already took a bath. She was even wearing the new clothes that she bought with Madame Lin yesterday. It was a traditional Xing dress. The design of the dress was very simple - a white jacket paired with a pink skirt with simple but intricate embroidery. Madame Lin wanted to buy her a more beautifully designed dress but she refused. She didn't want to wear something extravagant. Because if she did, then she would certainly overshadow the star of the ceremony.
