"Let's go, let's go to the pavilion to take shelter from the rain."

After everyone had left, Qing'er looked at the three people around her and began to speak.

"Um."

The three nodded in unison.

Ertai and Yongxuan sandwiched the two girls between them.

The four of them strolled leisurely toward the pavilion.

Because Yongqi took the umbrella and gave it to Xiaoyanzi, Erkang had no umbrella. Looking at the four figures ahead, envy flashed in his eyes...

When the four arrived at the pavilion, Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi were wiping each other's raindrops, while the Emperor was tending to the beauty beside him.

The ministers were all discussing the rain.

"Niannian, Qing'er, come quickly, come in quickly."

Xiao Yanzi, who had already been pulled away by Yongqi, watched as the leisurely group urged them to come in quickly. As she spoke, she pulled Yongqi aside to make room for them.

"They're here."

Chen Nian responded, and the four of them entered the pavilion one by one.

"The rain is quite heavy."

Looking at the torrential rain outside, Xiao Yanzi sighed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Chen Nian come in, and immediately abandoned Yong Qi beside her and went to Chen Nian's side.

If it weren't for Ertai, she would definitely be with Niannian. With Ertai around, there's no need for her.

Looking at the mud stains on Chen Nian's trouser legs, he took out his handkerchief and squatted down.

"Little Swallow—"

Chen Nian looked at the mud spots on his trousers with a hint of disgust.

Ugh, it's dirty, it doesn't look good anymore.

Just as she was about to take out her handkerchief to wipe the mud splattered on her trousers and shoes, Xiao Yanzi, who had been watching her, squatted down and took out her handkerchief to wipe it for her.

Qing'er and Ertai, who were also preparing to deal with Chen Nian, silently withdrew their hands, and Yongxuan also withdrew his handkerchief. The three of them smiled and bent down to wipe the mud off their bodies.

Chen Nian, Chen Nian, just as her name suggests, has many people thinking of her and caring about her.

Although they might get jealous, the joy of seeing someone care about Chen Nian outweighs any jealousy they feel when they see someone being nice to her.

Their goal is the same: to benefit meditation.

Xiao Yanzi's actions also subconsciously made Chen Nian move his foot.

"Be good, don't move. Don't I know you? When the rain stops, go to the carriage and change your clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Little Swallow pulled on Chen Nian's trembling foot, patted it gently, and scolded him to stop him.

Having spent so much time with Chen Nian, how could I not know that Chen Nian is a sucker for good looks? He may not seem to care on the surface, but he probably secretly finds the mud spots on his pants legs disgusting.

In the end, Chen Nian obediently let Xiao Yanzi tidy her up.

Achoo!

Looking at the torrential rain outside, Chen Nian felt relieved that Xuan'er and Shuang'er hadn't come along, otherwise they would have gotten soaked. This rain was really heavy.

Chen Nian looked at the rain outside the pavilion, tightened his cloak, rubbed his cold hands, and sneezed.

The sneeze immediately drew the attention of the people around. Ertai, Qing'er, and Yongxuan all looked at Chen Nian with worry in their eyes.

Seeing Chen Nian's actions, Qing'er took Chen Nian's hand, breathed on it to warm it, and then covered it with her own.

"When we get back, I'll make you some ginger soup to warm you up."

Looking at the person standing beside him, Ertai spoke, his eyes filled with worry.

"Okay, sure."

Hearing Ertai's words, Chen Nian nodded obediently.

...

"Hey turtledove, what are you doing sitting there daydreaming? Come to the pavilion and take shelter from the rain. You're incompatible with water, are you trying to cool off?"

After dealing with Chen Nian, Xiao Yanzi looked around but couldn't find Benjamin. She searched everywhere and finally saw the person sitting in the heavy rain. She called out loudly, her eyes filled with anxiety.

...
