Chapter 17: Extra 1: Ah, They're Exactly The Same.
Hello everyone. I am Ming You. I am the head maid of Yunyue Pavilion, and also the personal maidservant of my Mistress, Huang Feiyun.
Right now, the main force of Yunyue Pavilion is staying at Mysterious Star Sect to visit our Lord Master's place of apprenticeship. In addition, it was also to test our Young Lord, Long Yuan'an's spirit vein.
Of course, as the son of my amazing and honourable Mistress and her husband, the young lord is definitely talented. He even has the rare lightning element spiritual vein in his body.
When Mistress knew about it, she was so happy she talked about it for days even when she was working. Truthfully, she never said this much even when she was preparing for her wedding with Lord Master. This shows just how fond Mistress is towards the Young Lord.
I am also fond of the Young Lord. Not only is he talented, he is also smart and obedient. Most importantly, he's very adorable, adorable, and adorable. Important things must be emphasized three times.
I still remember when he was but a little baby crawling across the the room with a pacifier in his mouth. He'd dash from one end of the room, then crawled to another with big starry eyes staring at everything with the most curious eyes I've ever seen.
And when he was tired from his crawling, he'd sit on his butt, turn his head to us, and tilted his head with blinking eyes. It was a bit of hard work, but I was able to capture one of such moments into picture, and has kept the picture with me ever since. It has became one of my treasured possession next to the picture of Mistress in her wedding dress.
When the young lord has grown up to 3 years old, he began to follow behind the Lord Master or the servants to the training grounds to exercise his body. Of course, his bones weren't strong enough to actually learn any sets of vigorous movements. So he was taught Tai Chi instead. The serious appearance of his meatbun face while practicing Tai Chi was just too adorable not to take pictures of. A lot of the maidservants felt their maternal love exploding just from seeing such scene.
Many people say that the young lord was exactly like the lord master when young. Serious, hardworking, and talented. At first, I also thought so, especially since he looked so much like his father. However, a series of events afterwards changed my opinion.
Things happened when Mistress had been on her whimsical temper and left some leftover parts for a mechanical toy lying around the house. Normal people would've been concerned because they would be afraid little children like the young lord would accidentally eat those little parts. But our family young lord was different.
When he saw the parts, he stared at them for a long while silently before grabbing onto them. Then, he began looking around the house more vigorously. After a month, the young lord was playing with something he called a 'pedal car'. His big eyes was full of satisfaction as he rode around the pavilion with the toy.
The eyes of the Mistress was gleaming when she heard of the young lord's new toy. After that, she would leave some materials lying around somewhere around the house, and somehow the young lord would always find the materials, as if he was searching for them. Things continued, and the young lord had created plenty of 'toys' to play by himself.
Looking at the two mother and son immersing themselves in giving away materials, finding materials, then making things silently and suddenly appearing with a new item, I felt that... the two of them are actually very similar.
It's not just about their hobby. Although the young lord is a more quieter character, but as I observed both mother and son longer, the more I felt their similarities. Especially when dealing with Lord Master, the two mother and son actually sang the same tune. Is this what they said; 'Like mother Like son'?
"Sister, you got the wrong idiom."
"Ah Zuo." I turned to look at where the voice came from, and saw my twin brother Ming Zuo behind me. As the Chief Guard of Yunyue Pavilion, my brother usually stays at the training ground to help train the servants. Only when Mistress went out will he leave the pavilion because he is also the Mistress' personal bodyguard.
"Ah Zuo, where were you when we were in the study just now? Mistress was almost injured."
"I was derelict of my duty. I went to tell people to prepare snacks for Young Lord, but I didn't protect Mistress. I shall go and ask for forgiveness from her now." Ming Zuo's face was expressionless, but I can hear the graveness from his tone. He really felt guilty right now.
"If you say so, I also should go ask for forgiveness from Mistress. The one who should inform the servant to prepare snacks for Young Lord was me. I didn't do my job properly."
"No, sister. It's my fault."
"No, it's mine."
"Sister, you protected Mistress in my absence. So you should be forgiven by Mistress. But I didn't do my job. So I should be the one getting punished."
"No, Ah Zuo. No matter what, I was at fault too. I should go and ask Mistress for my sin."
"No, sister..."
"Ah Zuo..."

From afar, Huang Feiyun and Long Yuan'an looked at the twins arguing heatedly but no expressions on their faces. Taking a piece of pastry from the plate, she turned towards her son who was staring at the twins while eating pastry in his mouth. The bulging cheeks looked adorable, like a little hamster hogging its food.
After swallowing the pastry into his stomach, Long Yuan'an pointed at the twins and said: "Mom, are they arguing about getting punishments again?"
"Son, that's the only thing they'll ever argue about." Huang Feiyun munched on her pastry. "Wait for a while, both of them will come to ask to be punished one way or another. I won't give it to them though." She said, then took another pastry to eat while continuing to watch the twins with her son.
""Mistress, please forgive us!""
And sure enough, after another 5 minutes of going back and forth about who should be asking for forgiveness from their Mistress, the twin servants came over towards Huang Feiyun and immediately kneeled in front of her.
"Ah, they're exactly the same." Long Yuan'an whispered. The speed, the timing of their kneeling, and also the moment when they spoke were exactly simultaneous. Even if they're fraternal twins, the two of them are definitely like peas in a pod.
Huang Feiyun stared at her servants for a while, then sighed. Even if she felt like punishing people for their mistakes, seeing the glittering and hopeful light in their eyes actually made her more unlikely to punish them. She held her face under both of her palms. If only... if only the twins aren't masochists!!!
"...Son, I let you decide the punishments for them." In this kind of situation, it's better to push it to her baby son! Decided so, she gently pushed her son to the front of the kneeling twins.
"Eh? Uh, ummm..." Long Yuan'an looked at his mother, then at the twin servants who were only a little bit older than his mother. Suddenly seeing bright gleams of expectant looks in their eyes, the boy felt like running away immediately.
What's with their eyes? They REALLY want to get punished so badly? Mommy save me, there's a pervert here!!!
( Q A Q )
In the end, under the pressure from both his mother and the twin servants, the Young Lord of Yunyue Pavilion had to strengthen his will and give the twins the punishment that they oh so desired. Walking hesitantly towards the two kneeling servants, the little boy cleared his throat.
"Both of you, get up."
Ming You and Ming Zuo raised their heads and looked at their Young Lord, eyes full of expecting gazes. Long Yuan'an raised both of his hands, and without anyone expecting, gave a flick on their foreheads.
"There will be no next time," the childish voice, added with an adult-like tone actually made him look cuter. But seeing the serious and embarrassed look of the little boy, the twins didn't say anything about it but replied with a vigorous "Yes, young lord!"
'Ah, they're exactly the same! Young Lord is really like Mistress. So kind and thoughtful. I will definitely serve you both for a lifetime!!!' Ming You held tears in her eyes as she vowed her promise.
Long Yuan'an felt a sudden chill and sneezed. Wiping his itchy nose, he thought: Is there someone talking about me? (´-﹏-`;)

Your_Highness_Miya Ming You (明右) and Ming Zuo (明左):
Huang Feiyun's personal servant and attendant since childhood. Ming You is the elder sister and Ming Zuo is the younger brother. The twins are only a year older than Huang Feiyun. They have facial paralysis and speaks with monotone, but their eyes are very expressive. A masochist only for their Mistress before, now they have also added Long Yuan'an into the list of people that can punish them. Their first name means 'Right' and 'Left' respectively.
