"Ahem." Jiang Zhirou's voice suddenly came from the doorway, "What are you doing?"
Upon hearing Jiang Zhirou's question, Nan Wusi realized that her current position with Xiao Yi was somewhat suggestive, so she immediately jumped up, quickly put on her shoes, and stood properly by the bed.
"Mother, what brings you here?" Nan Wusi asked with an awkward smile, not giving Jiang Zhirou a direct answer.
"Dinner is ready. You dismissed all the servants earlier, so I came here by myself." Jiang Zhirou's stare made Nan Wusi feel uneasy.
At this moment, Xiao Yi also stood up. He looked at Jiang Zhirou and bowed, saying, "Madam Nan."
"Prince Yi, your eyes?" Jiang Zhirou saw that Xiao Yi's eyes were still the same as before, so she thought that they had not been cured.
"Sisi has cured me." Xiao Yi did not hide anything from Nan Wusi's mother.
“But…” Jiang Zhirou wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Nan Wusi.
"Oh dear, Mother, please don't ask anymore. Xiao Yi can't let others know that he's recovered."
"I see, then congratulations, Prince Yi." Jiang Zhirou smiled and said.
"This is all thanks to Sisi," Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Now that everything's ready, let's go have our meal," Jiang Zhirou said, looking at the two of them.
"Alright, alright, let's go have a meal." Nan Wusi quickly stepped forward, took Jiang Zhirou's hand, and walked ahead, while Xiao Yi followed behind them.
Even though he hadn't done anything shameful, Nan Wusi didn't know why he felt guilty. Fortunately, Jiang Zhirou didn't ask any more questions or say anything more, which gradually put Nan Wusi at ease.
"Mother, why haven't I seen Father and Elder Brother these past two days?" Nan Wusi hadn't seen Nan Tianba since she woke up yesterday, and she hadn't seen Nan Wufeng even once.
"You finally remembered them." Jiang Zhirou teased with a smile. She thought Nan Wusi's whole heart was devoted to Xiao Yi.
“Your father and your elder brother are both in the camp. They are afraid that the Northern Huan might do something sneaky these days, so they have been on guard.” Jiang Zhirou answered Nan Wusi’s question.
“We definitely need to take precautions.” Nan Wusi nodded. To this day, she still doesn’t understand how Nan Tianba and Nan Wufeng got into trouble in the original story.
Thinking of this, Nan Wusi asked again, "In my previous letter, I mentioned that Father should pay close attention to the movements in the army. Have you discovered anything yet?"
“I’m not really sure about that either. Your father didn’t tell me about it, so I guess he didn’t find out much.” Jiang Zhirou shook her head.
"Okay." Nan Wusi was slightly disappointed when she heard there was no news. She still didn't know where to start.
After dinner, Nan Wusi gave Xiao Yi several boxes of colored contact lenses and instructed him to change them every day and not to wear them for too long. She also told him to let her know as soon as he ran out of them.
Xiao Yi naturally smiled and nodded repeatedly, then returned to the inn with the pile of colored contact lenses that Nan Wusi had given him.
The next day, Nan Wusi was woken up very early by Qin Ran, who told her that Prince Yi was waiting for her at the mansion.
So Nan Wusi hurriedly washed and dressed up and went to the front hall to see Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, why are you here so early?" Nan Wusi yawned; she wasn't fully awake yet.
"Sisi, can you spend some quality time with me today? I'm leaving early tomorrow morning," Xiao Yi said.
"So soon, why?" Nan Wusi's tone was full of doubt and reluctance.
"I still need to go to my fiefdom to take a look." Xiao Yi did not hide his whereabouts.
"You still have fiefdoms?" Nan Wusi thought that Xiao Yi, who had been staying in the capital, did not have any fiefdoms.
"Of course I have, but I've never been there openly," Xiao Yi said with a smile, guessing that most people in the capital had forgotten that he was also a prince with a fiefdom.
"Oh." Nan Wusi also realized the key point at this time. Once adult members of the royal family are granted the title of king, they will be granted fiefdoms. However, in order to monitor Xiao Yi, the emperor has always kept him confined in the capital. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, he has never been to his fiefdom.
Judging from Xiao Yi's current plans, he must have made important arrangements in his fiefdom, otherwise he wouldn't have gone there at this critical juncture.
However, Nan Wusi wisely refrained from asking further questions, knowing that knowing too much was not a good thing.
"Sisi, would you like to come with me?" Xiao Yi didn't think that much about it, but instead extended an invitation to Nan Wusi.
However, Nan Wusi shook her head and refused. She had very important things to do here and could not go with Xiao Yi.
However, Nan Wusi couldn't explain why, only saying that she wanted to spend more time with her family and that she would like to go with Xiao Yi again in the future if she had the opportunity.
Xiao Yi seemed prepared for rejection, so he didn't look too disappointed. He had come today to say goodbye.
"Xiao Yi, what do you want to play?" Nan Wusi asked, determined to have a great time today.
"I'm fine with anything, as long as you're willing to stay with me." Xiao Yi looked at Nan Wusi with tenderness, he had no other requests.
"Let's go out and explore the streets first." Nan Wusi wasn't very familiar with the local customs and culture, so the best approach was to wander around first.
"Okay, fine." Xiao Yi still smiled, no matter what Nan Wu thought about.
Once they reached the street, Xiao Yi immediately took Nan Wusi's hand. He couldn't be too direct in the mansion, but now that they were on the street, he felt much more at ease.
Nan Wusi was also very happy to be led by Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi's palm was particularly warm, and he held her hand firmly, which made her feel very safe.
That day, they strolled around the streets like any ordinary couple, buying whatever caught Xiao Yi's eye. However, they mostly bought food, as Nan Wusi was particularly interested in gourmet food.
The two held hands, while their other hand ate various snacks. Nan Wusi thought to herself, this must be simple happiness.
As they passed through the town's central square, a young man stopped them.
"Hello, are you two from around here?" the young man asked as he stepped forward.
"May I ask what you need?" Nan Wusi looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a wary expression.
"I'm sorry, it was presumptuous of me." The handsome young man apologized first when he saw Nan Wusi's wary expression, and then continued enthusiastically, "Tonight we will be holding a bonfire party, which is a special event to pray for lovers. I see that you two are in a sweet relationship, so I would like to invite you to participate."
"Please rest assured, I'm really not a scammer. Everyone in the area knows about this event, and it's being held right here in this square. You can ask anyone you like," the handsome young man continued.
"Xiao Yi, would you like to join?" Nan Wusi was somewhat tempted; she had never attended a bonfire party before.
