Shen Nian, a 21st-century slacker and foodie, loved nothing more than watching "My Fair Princess" every day. She had memorized all the major events and wished she could be there to "eat...
Looking down to check on Chen Nian, she asked, "Princess Chen, what happened? Did you hurt your hand? Or did you bump into something?"
Upon seeing Shen Nian's reddened eyes, Ertai panicked and anxiously inquired.
The situation was urgent, and he tried to act as quickly as possible.
I don't know if he bumped his head or if his hand was pulled too hard.
He reached out to check on Chen Nian's condition, but after raising his hand several times, he put it down again.
Ertai wished he could drag the person over and examine them from head to toe, but he wasn't qualified.
Having a chance to catch his breath, and feeling the pain in his nose, he instinctively covered it with his hand before his mind could process it.
Ouch, it hurts so much! What did she bump into? Why is it so hard?
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Chen Nian, I scared you again."
Hearing Ertai's worried voice, Xiao Yanzi realized what was happening and leaned over to look Chen Nian up and down, apologizing profusely.
God knows she was terrified when she saw Chen Nian fall.
She hadn't expected that her simple intention to call out "Chen Nian" would frighten people again.
"Chen Nian, how are you? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
"Princess Shen, are you hurt anywhere?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yanzi's voice, Yongqi and Benjamin, who had been stunned, also came to their senses and came over.
They were incredibly relieved that everyone in the Imperial Study had left, leaving only a few of them. Their father (the Emperor) had also left; otherwise, Little Swallow would have been punished again.
But now Little Swallow has frightened Chen Nian again. How will the Empress Dowager explain this?
Yongqi and Benjamin couldn't help but feel worried again.
"No, it's nothing."
Several concerned voices, mixed with Xiao Yanzi's apology, were heard. Chen Nian gave a muffled reply, her nose hurting from the bump, and her voice was slightly nasal.
Feeling the moisture in her eyes, her thick, curled eyelashes also glistened with tears. Chen Nian looked up at the top of her head, blinked lightly, and tried to suppress the urge to cry.
Without a doubt, her eyes were red, and she didn't know what to say about her delicate nature.
She just hoped she hadn't been bruised, otherwise she wouldn't know how to explain it to the Empress Dowager and Qing'er.
Her body is very delicate and she has always been pampered, so even the slightest injury will be magnified.
Over the years, she has gotten used to it, but she doesn't want the Empress Dowager, Qing'er, Xuan'er, and Ying'er to worry.
The others watched Chen Nian's actions and remained silent, waiting for him to calm down.
Seeing the tears welling up in Shen Nian's eyes, Ertai felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Shen Nian felt that she and Xiao Yanzi were somewhat incompatible, and that she would always run into trouble when she was with Xiao Yanzi.
First I was injured, then I was frightened, and today I was frightened again, and my nose hurt from being bumped.
Hearing Chen Nian say that she was alright, Yongqi Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Chen Nian is alright.
Fortunately, Ertai reacted quickly and prevented Chen Nian from getting hurt; otherwise, Xiao Yanzi's hard-won release from confinement would probably have been reinstated.
Did you bump your nose?
Seeing Shen Nian cover his nose with his hand, Ertai stood beside him and loosely clenched his fist.
He discovered that since returning to the palace, the young princess had either been injured or on her way to be injured.
Every time he saw her, she was hurt.
"Thank you, Ertai, for helping me again."
Looking up, Chen Nian met Ertai's concerned gaze and thanked him.
Her gaze, however, fell on Ertai's lower abdomen. That was the spot she had bumped into, wasn't it? It was really hard. Her nose was still throbbing slightly.
Fortunately, her nose is original; if it were fake, it would have collapsed by now.
Her not-so-high IQ kicked in again, and she realized what was happening.
