Fu Yuan, unable to bear it any longer, knelt on the ground, his face, which resembled Zhou Qiyan's, filled with pain. Sisi glanced at him and then looked away indifferently, "Fu Yuan, didn't you say you would take on Yu Xue's pain for her?"
"I'm lying, I'm lying!"
Fu Yuan was just saying it casually; he didn't expect that the pain would actually be transferred to him.
I was in pain all night and didn't sleep a wink.
"Your Highness, I beg you, please give me some blood."
His voice became hoarse, his head was slightly raised, a few tears were in the corners of his eyes, and he looked at her pleadingly.
Sisi had no expression as she walked towards the door, but then suddenly stopped, turned back, and asked, "Fu Yuan, do you remember Yu Jin and Qian Qiu?"
Fu Yuan's face was full of confusion.
Bored, Sisi turned her gaze away and said, "Chunxiang, take him back to the prince consort. If he doesn't leave, knock him out."
Chunxiang responded, "Yes."
The princess's residence was very large. Sisi wandered around several places and met Qingyu in front of a flower garden.
He looked at her with slight surprise, then quickly walked steadily to her and bowed, "Your Highness."
"Um."
"Your Highness, what brings you here? Is there a flower you wish to see? Please tell me, and I will pick it and bring it to you." Qingyu smiled gently.
"No."
She acted coldly and distantly, and Qingyu couldn't help but wonder if he had done something wrong. He held the bracelet for a while before finally asking, "Why is Your Highness so cold to Qingyu? Does Your Highness not like Qingyu?"
Sisi glanced at him, and he looked at her nervously, as if the answer was very important to him.
"Does it matter whether you like it or not?" Sisi walked to the pavilion in the flower garden and sat down. There was a pot of flower tea on the table.
Qingyu reached out and poured a cup, placing it in front of her. "Of course it's important. From the moment Your Highness bought me, I have been Your Highness's person, existing solely to amuse Your Highness."
"How did you and the Princess meet?"
Sisi asked casually, but to her surprise, his expression darkened. "Your Highness, don't you remember? I was bought from Jiangnan by Your Highness. My family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat. It was Your Highness's kindness that led you to buy me."
Your Highness doesn't remember.
That's normal, though. Your Highness is a favored son of heaven, the one who is surrounded by admirers. He is just a lowly servant, so it's normal that Your Highness doesn't remember him.
Sisi thought he was homesick. "Then do you want to go home? I'll send you back to Jiangnan. Don't worry about food and clothing, this..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qingyu knelt down, her blue robe billowing, her eyes reddening.
"Your Highness, don't you want the jade anymore?"
"It would be better for you to go back to Jiangnan, where you can get married and have children. This princess's residence may not be the best place for you."
Qingyu swayed slightly. "Your Highness has grown tired of me? But Your Highness hasn't even touched me..."
Sisi frowned. "When did I say I was tired of you? I only said that it would be better for you to marry and have children than to be a nameless male concubine in the princess's residence."
"This servant is willing to be Your Highness's male concubine."
Qingyu knelt forward, her jade-like hands carefully hooking onto the hem of her skirt, pinching it little by little, tightening it gently. "This servant is willing to serve Your Highness for the rest of my life."
"Oh, so it's Brother Qingyu here!"
Fan Jingshu strode over, looking down at him with a hint of anger in his eyes. "Brother Qingyu, what are you doing? Why are you trying to seduce His Highness for no reason?"
"I don't."
"You didn't?" Fan Jingshu forcefully pried his hands away. "If you didn't, why are you grabbing Her Highness's skirt? How come I never knew you were a scheming, scheming woman?"
Qingyu's face paled slightly. "Brother Jingshu, I just... I..."
He couldn't reveal that His Highness intended to send him back to Jiangnan, otherwise Fan Jingshu would definitely instigate it.
Fan Jingshu glared at him, "Why did you stop talking? What are you doing grabbing Her Highness's skirt?"
"Alright."
Sisi rubbed her temples. "If you two have nothing else to say, you can leave now. Can't you leave me in peace for a while?"
Qingyu stood up, her eyes lowered, and obediently said, "Yes, this servant takes her leave."
He left, but Fan Jingshu didn't want to leave.
"Your Highness, what did he just say to you?"
Aren't you leaving yet?
“I won’t leave, I want to stay with you.” Fan Jingshu sat down beside her, his fox-like eyes blinking. “Your Highness, you summoned Feng Yue last night, shouldn’t you summon me tonight? I’m very good at serving people.”
"Will it be very?"
He leaned closer and whispered something in her ear, his own ears turning red first. He fidgeted slightly with his handkerchief, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Sisi, "...Not so good."
"You don't like it? Then I'll try another method. I'm sure I can find a position you like."
Sisi remained unmoved. "I have no interest. How about I send you out of the princess's residence, and you go find a wife and tell her all this? What do you think?"
His face suddenly changed. "Your Highness wants me to leave?"
"Isn't that what you wanted? I'm just granting your wish." Sisi calmly took a sip of tea.
"I know I was wrong." Fan Jingshu knelt down. "Your Highness, please don't send me away. I dare not do it again."
He was extremely jealous. Why could Feng Yue do it, but he couldn't? He was much better looking than Feng Yue.
Does Feng Yue's waist have the same suppleness as his?!
"Wouldn't it be better for you to marry and have children than to be a servant in this princess's residence? Why don't you do it?"
"In my heart, there is only the princess."
Sisi didn't understand what they were thinking, so she simply waved him away.
Before Sisi had even finished her tea, she spotted Feng Yue and Yu Xue not far away. The two were sitting together, Yu Xue smiling happily, and Feng Yue was smiling too.
But Feng Yue's face was exactly the same as Zhou Qiyan's, and seeing it always made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Sister!" Yu Xue ran over happily.
Sisi saw Feng Yue's smile change, turning back into that gloomy, wicked grin and nonchalant demeanor.
"So Your Highness was here."
Yu Xue sat down beside her, smiling, and took her hand. "What are you doing here, sister? I told Feng Yue we were going to the city together. Why don't you come with me, sister?"
"No, you guys go have fun." Sisi withdrew her hand, her expression somewhat indifferent.
Yu Xue was sad, but quickly cheered up. The female lead was just that aloof; she had to melt her heart with love!
"Sister~"
Feng Yue followed suit, saying, "Sister, will you agree? There's a lantern festival in the city at night, it's a lot of fun."
When the lantern festival was mentioned, Sisi thought of how she and Zhou Qiyan had also been to the lantern festival, and how he had helped an old woman.
"I agree." Yu Xue blinked, her face losing its delicate fragility and gaining a touch of cuteness.
After much deliberation, Sisi finally agreed.
Yu Xue had never seen an ancient lantern festival before and was having a great time playing in front of it, while Si Si watched indifferently from behind. Feng Yue walked alongside her.
"Does Your Highness enjoy the lantern festival outside? The human realm is indeed fun, much more interesting than the ghost realm."
Sisi didn't reply, but looked at the people releasing wishing lanterns into the lake. He smiled and said, "How about I release one with Your Highness?"
Do you remember when we released wishing lanterns?
