Ye Taohua wiped her mouth forcefully, then beckoned with her finger, "Continue, I'm fine."
She increasingly felt that practical experience was the fastest way to improve.
Seeing that the other incense stick was almost halfway burned, Madam Sun hurriedly advised, "Peach Blossom, you can't be too impatient. You've already bled from the blows. Let's continue next time."
Ye Taohua shook her head, "Second Aunt, this is nothing, I'm fine!"
Heng Tong spoke up, "Showing off won't do you any good. Come back tomorrow."
Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right!"
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Panjiu with a bright smile and nudged her arm.
"Little sister, how was it? I won."
Ye Panjiu glanced at her, "Didn't we bet on whether the peach blossoms could last for another incense stick's time? She said she could. So it doesn't count as me losing."
As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward to check on Ye Taohua's injuries.
Sun was so angry that she stomped her feet and pointed at Ye Panjiu, "Little sister, you!"
Ye Panjiu ignored her.
Peach Blossom met Ye Panjiu's distressed gaze and shook her head with a smile, "Mother, it's nothing, don't worry."
He stood up and walked into his room.
Heng Tong patted Ye Panjiu on the shoulder, "I know what I'm doing, don't worry, miss."
After saying that, he chased after Ye Taohua.
She was going to apply some medicine to Ye Taohua.
This is something that every martial arts practitioner must go through.
Ye Panjiu stopped in her tracks and did not go any further.
As mothers, they can't bear to see their children get hurt, so how could they not get injured when they practice martial arts?
Undeterred, Madam Sun chased after her again, saying, "Little sister, your second sister-in-law just wants to ask you a question, it's nothing!"
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow at her, "Then Second Sister-in-law, sing a song first."
"Sing it out loud! What does my little sister want to hear?"
"Just choose the one you're best at singing."
As she spoke, Ye Panjiu sat down, holding a cup of hot tea, sipping it slowly, and waiting for her with leisure.
Seeing this, Ye Erniu, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, carefully slipped away with crab-like steps.
Sun took a few deep breaths, "Cough cough cough!"
He cleared his throat forcefully and began to sing, "Several times~fly~ here~!"
Ye Panjiu almost dropped her teacup the moment she opened her mouth.
Sun's voice was not unpleasant; it was slightly shrill when she spoke normally, but when she sang, that shrillness was amplified.
The sound was so sharp it was like several fine needles piercing straight into the brain from the ear.
It was nothing short of a form of mental torture.
Ye Panjiu quickly stood up, rushed to Sun Shi, and covered her mouth, "Second sister-in-law, what do you want to ask? Ask quickly."
Please don't sing for her again in the future.
You can ask hundreds or even thousands of questions!
Sun looked hurt. "Little sister, is it because your second sister-in-law sang so badly?"
Ye Panjiu gritted her teeth. What was this kind of mentality—wanting others to be hurt just because she herself had been hurt…?
She shook her head firmly. "No, Second Sister-in-law, you sang beautifully. This song should only exist in heaven! You know I don't usually listen to music, so you must sing it for those who love it."
Sun nodded with some doubt, "That makes sense. Then I'll have to sing more every day. Your second brother likes to listen, so I'll sing more for him!"
Ye Panjiu looked around and, not seeing Ye Erniu, quickly nodded. "That's how it should be. If you want to improve at anything, you have to keep practicing."
Second brother, who told you to run away first!
Run away without her!
Ye Erniu ran to the field in a flash, sneezing wildly, his ears burning.
Grandma Ye looked at him with concern, "Erniu, did you catch a cold last night? Go home quickly, don't work in the fields anymore."
Ye Erniu waved his hand, "Mom, my ears are burning hot, someone must be talking about me behind my back!"
He didn't offend anyone, did he?
Grandma Ye was relieved and continued pulling up the weeds in the field, which she would take back to feed the sheep.
Sheep can eat a lot of grass in a day!
On the Ye family's side, Madam Sun's smile was almost sinister. She nudged Ye Panjiu's arm and asked, "Tell me, how far have things progressed between you and Lord Su?"
Ye Panjiu glanced at her and said, "Second sister-in-law, you're such a gossip."
Mrs. Sun chuckled, "I'm not gossiping, I'm just concerned about you! Tell me!"
Ye Panjiu coughed lightly, "Everything that could be developed has been developed; now they are an unmarried couple."
Sun's eyes widened as she stared at Ye Panjiu's belly. "So... you're pregnant again?"
Ye Panjiu patted her, "No, I said I don't want any more children. Doctor Gu said I can't get pregnant again."
Only then did Mrs. Sun feel relieved. As women who had given birth, they understood best just how much damage childbirth could do to a woman's body.
"So, how is Lord Su?"
Ye Panjiu rolled her eyes and walked into her room.
My second sister-in-law is too fierce; she doesn't want to talk about these things with others.
Madam Sun pressed on, asking, "Judging by how fair and delicate Lord Su is, he must be quite capable in bed, right? He'd have to be able to lift you up!"
Ye Panjiu shook her head, not wanting to hear such lewd words.
"But looking at Lord Su, his nose isn't small, and his Adam's apple and middle finger don't seem like he's incapable..."
Ye Panjiu closed her own door, leaving Sun Shi outside.
Good heavens!
Sun was still saying, "Oh dear, little sister, don't be so shy! It's nothing!"
Ye Panjiu knocked on the door and sat down at the desk.
But my mind was churning.
How could Su Yan not be good enough? He's far too good!
Covered in injuries, she was so exhausted that she fainted.
The most terrifying thing is that even after she faints, he can use acupressure to wake her up.
She truly never imagined that her martial arts skills could be used in bed.
After being tormented all night, she became afraid and refused to go to Su Yan's room every night; she insisted on sleeping in her own room.
But even with the door locked from the outside, Su Yan was completely unreliable.
Anyway, I wake up in that bed every day.
Ye Panjiu shook her head vigorously and raised her hand to practice calligraphy.
Sun recited two more lines, and seeing that the room was quiet, she had no choice but to leave.
Life at the Ye family's house was peaceful and quiet, and before they knew it, it was the end of March.
When the news of Shengping's ascension to the throne reached Ye Family Village, it was like a boulder crashing into a calm lake, creating huge waves.
After returning from working in the fields at night, a few villagers who were close friends would gather around and chat in the village, which was very close to the Ye family's house.
Ye Panjiu followed the Ye family members and listened with great curiosity.
"They even produced an empress! A woman as emperor, tsk tsk tsk, if you ask me, the Great Liang is doomed now." Ye Qijin shook his head and sighed.
"Give me a break! Whether it's a man or a woman as emperor, as long as they care about the people, they're a good emperor! Historically, it's always been men who are emperors. Do you want to see those few utterly wicked emperors from before?" Ye Sanchao retorted.
Thinking back to when he was born, during that famine year, when people were fleeing from famine and natural disasters, the emperor didn't care about the lives of the people at all, and taxes were never reduced. Just thinking about it is terrifying.
"Sanchao was right. The female emperor is already sitting on the dragon throne. We can't dethrone her, and we don't have the ability, do we? Any other news?" Old Ye asked, puffing on his pipe and squinting.
