Nan Zhiyun was really exhausted; she hadn't woken up since falling asleep.
The little girl hadn't eaten lunch or dinner, and Yu Jingchen hesitated about whether to wake her up, but seeing how soundly she was sleeping, he couldn't bear to.
"Alright, alright, let her sleep if she wants. If she's really hungry, she'll probably wake up without me even having to call her." Yu Jingchen pulled her into his arms, and Nan Zhiyun, having found a source of warmth, automatically snuggled into his embrace and hugged him.
As for today's events... I heard that many palaces in the harem have had their furniture replaced.
When Nan Zhiyun woke up the next day, Yu Jingchen had already left. Well, even though she went to bed early, she still woke up very late.
Nan Zhiyun felt unwell all over as soon as she woke up, and was in a lot of pain, especially in her lower back and abdomen, which were very sore and uncomfortable to move.
"Qianxia..." Nan Zhiyun called out, only to find that her voice was also very hoarse. Recalling what happened yesterday, Nan Zhiyun felt a little embarrassed, and her face instantly turned red.
She didn't think it was a big deal the last time, but why was yesterday so different from before?
"Your Majesty..." Qianxia had just heard Nan Zhiyun call her and rushed in immediately; she had been waiting for a long time.
"Has His Majesty finished the morning court session?" Nan Zhiyun asked.
"It should be soon, Your Highness. Are you hungry? You went to bed early yesterday and didn't eat lunch or dinner. His Majesty specifically instructed that he would watch you eat after you wake up," Qianxia said.
"Mmm." Nan Zhiyun responded. Qianxia came over and helped Nan Zhiyun up. Nan Zhiyun tried to get up but her legs were too weak to stand steadily.
"Your Highness, please be careful." Qianxia naturally knew what had happened yesterday, and also... the marks all over Her Highness's body.
Qianxia helped Nan Zhiyun wash up and do her makeup. Breakfast outside had already been prepared. However, Nan Zhiyun did not expect to meet an unexpected person, namely the Second Princess Yu Wan'er.
"Why are you here?" Nan Zhiyun asked.
When Yu Wan'er saw Nan Zhiyun arrive, she immediately knelt down: "Wan'er greets Consort Shu." Yu Wan'er had come to pay her respects.
Nan Zhiyun frowned: "Why is the Second Princess here to pay her respects? Wasn't she injured? Just rest on your own, there's no need to come all this way." Nan Zhiyun glanced at Qiu Yun, who understood and immediately helped the Second Princess up.
“Wan’er lives in He’an Palace, so she must pay her respects to Consort Shu. This is the rule, and Wan’er remembers it.” Yu Wan’er was still somewhat timid.
"You came here so early in the morning?" Nan Zhiyun asked, somewhat surprised.
"Your Majesty, the Second Princess arrived at Chenshi (7-9 AM), saying that we must not be ignorant of the rules," Qiu Yun explained.
“You…” Nan Zhiyun was genuinely surprised this time.
"Please, Your Highness, don't send Wan'er away. Wan'er will be obedient and will follow the rules." As Yu Wan'er spoke, she was about to kneel down again, but Qiu Yun reacted quickly and pulled her back.
Nan Zhiyun's emotions were somewhat complicated, and she finally sighed helplessly.
"You're here so early, have you eaten?" Nan Zhiyun changed the subject and asked proactively.
"In response to Consort Shu, Wan'er hasn't had a chance yet..." Yu Wan'er replied.
"Then let's sit down and eat together," Nan Zhiyun said, and Qianxia helped her sit down at the table.
Yu Wan'er seemed a little incredulous, and after a moment of reaction, she dared to speak: "Yes... thank you, Consort Shu."
