Chapter 314: Things Have Changed So Quickly
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty."
Yuan Siyin respectfully curtsied to express her gratitude, a smile playing on her lips, but her heart remained unmoved.
She remembered that there were more than a dozen pairs of jade ruyi in the storeroom.
All of these are things that can't be converted into cash. She wouldn't mind using real money, but she insists on using all these fancy things. It'll be harder for her to run away with them later.
It looks nice but is useless; it's a real shame that she prepared the "Hundred Birds Celebrating Longevity" painting.
Don't let her spend money on you again next time!
Fortunately, the emperor couldn't read other people's minds, otherwise he would have been furious with Yuan Siyin.
Seeing that Li Yuande also seemed to have something to report, Yuan Siyin tactfully curtsied and withdrew. When she reached the door, she seemed to hear them talking about the princess of the northern frontier, but she didn't pay it any mind and went straight back to Jianzhang Palace.
Yuan Fuqing hadn't slept, waiting for his older sister to bring him good news. He sat at the table, propping his head up with his hand, and dozed off for a long time like a chick pecking at rice. Fei Cui tried to persuade him several times, but he wouldn't listen, so she had no choice but to wait with him.
The young master was secondary; the key issue was that the elderly Empress Dowager was also sitting idly in her bedchamber, enduring the ordeal along with her.
Normally, I would have gone to bed much earlier at this time, but when it comes to matters concerning young ladies and gentlemen, I would stay up all night until I had a result before I could feel at ease, and no one could persuade me otherwise.
Before long, Hongyu lifted the curtain, and Yuan Siyin followed, looking relaxed. However, she couldn't help but be surprised to see Yuan Fuqing: "You're still not asleep?"
Yuan Fuqing rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he saw her, he thought he was still dreaming. He pinched his cheek hard, and it hurt.
It's not a dream.
He jumped up suddenly, ran over and threw himself into Yuan Siyin's arms, extremely excited: "Sister is back!"
"I'm back."
Yuan Siyin pinched his little face gently: "You've been waiting."
Yuan Fuqing nodded vigorously, as if pounding garlic: "So, Aqing, can you go to the Northern Border now?"
"Of course, His Majesty has agreed."
Hearing this, Emerald couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With a happy expression, she left the house and quickened her pace toward the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
"That's great! When will you write to Brother Fang Ming, Sister?"
Yuan Fuqing knew about the plan and kept tugging at her sleeve, asking questions, clearly very excited about going to the Northern Border.
Yuan Siyin understood his feelings and answered patiently, "Don't worry, I sent a message a long time ago. He's already on his way back to the capital and will arrive in a few days."
I've only heard about this place for over a decade, but I've never actually been able to visit it. What's more, my father, whom I rarely see, is stationed there, and I, his irresponsible older sister, often become a burden to him...
Yuan Fuqing suddenly stood on tiptoe and patted her head: "Sister, don't be sad. I'm only going for a short while. I'll be back!"
Once Ah Qing becomes very capable, immediately send a message to my older sister and ask her to come and get me!
He was afraid she would misunderstand and think he had been abandoned.
Yuan Siyin was both amused and exasperated, and reached out to press his head down: "Okay, your sister will wait for your letter."
But before that…
"Before that?"
Yuan Fuqing tilted his head in confusion, trying hard to recall if there was anything he hadn't forgotten: "Hmm... I've packed my bags and brought a change of clothes, so I shouldn't be missing anything, right?"
"Shouldn't you be going to sleep? Look at the time!" Yuan Siyin said fiercely, hands on her hips.
The topic suddenly shifted, and Yuan Fuqing chuckled, then quickly slipped away.
My sister's face, like the weather in May, changes so quickly.
