Even if she wanted to, Ying'er wouldn't let her do it.
The ointment she makes incorporates modern medicine, which can shorten the recovery time.
"Okay, I'll try it when I get home."
Even if she didn't say it, he would still use it; he couldn't let her down.
"Let's go, Ertai."
Er Kang's urging voice came again.
"Then I'll be going now, Princess."
Ertai cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, formally took his leave, and went to Erkang and the others, leaving with them.
Just before stepping out the door, I turned my head to take one last, reluctant look.
Just then, I saw Chen Nian wiping the sweat from Qing'er's forehead with a handkerchief, a faint smile on his face.
At that moment, Ertai's heart was pounding wildly.
He glanced at it, then quickly looked away, his handsome face flushing red again.
Fortunately, it was getting late, and everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Yanzi almost giving herself away, so they didn't notice the change in Ertai's expression.
Shen Nian had no idea that, unwittingly, she had stirred the heart of a young man, changed his fate, and kept him active until the very end, even though he should have been written out of the story much earlier.
It wasn't until much later, when the matter was mentioned unintentionally, that she realized she had been targeted all along, and that the person who had targeted her had left her no way out.
...
"Don't talk nonsense, be mindful of the rules, and sincerely apologize... Sincerely apologize, behave properly, don't talk nonsense... Don't talk nonsense..."
From the moment she left Cining Palace, Xiao Yanzi kept repeating this word in a low voice.
"Little Swallow, what are you muttering about? Do you know how dangerous that situation was? You almost gave yourself away, you know? Don't you want your head?"
On the way back to Shufangzhai.
Erkang looked around to make sure no one was watching before scolding her, saying that Xiao Yanzi was too careless.
Qing'er is naturally intelligent, and she doesn't know if she has any suspicions about what happened today. She needs to find a time to test her.
Of the main characters, only Er Kang was willing to scold Xiao Yanzi.
"Oh, I know, I know, didn't I change my mind in time?"
Besides, look, Qing'er is so kind. Maybe if she knew what we were going through, she would even help us. We can't say anything carelessly. What was the rest of the story...?
Little Swallow responded impatiently. She was trying to remember the rules, and now that Erkang had interrupted her, she had forgotten what came next.
Moreover, she's still in pain, and Er Kang didn't hold back at all when he hit her.
Her mind was a complete mess. She hadn't even had time to process all those rules, and now Erkang was scolding her, which made her feel really bad.
Yes, we must pay attention to the rules and be sincere.
Little Swallow, the palace isn't as simple as you think.
You need to understand that once that secret is leaked, it will implicate a large group of people. Not only will you lose your head, but we will too, and it might even implicate Consort Ling, who helped you.”
When he heard Xiao Yanzi's question, he first addressed her doubts before continuing his explanation. His tone was gentler than Er Kang's.
Although his attention was on Shen Nian, it didn't mean he wasn't paying attention to what was happening on the other side. Little Swallow, she was really too reckless.
"Ah, thank you, Ertai. Yes, we can't talk nonsense. We need to be mindful of the rules and be sincere."
I saw you were listening to Qing'er teach me manners just now. How was it? Did you remember anything? Tell me quickly, I'll write it down when I get back to Shufangzhai and cram in so I can pass tomorrow's test."
Compared to listening to Erkang's fierce tone full of accusations, Xiaoyanzi preferred to listen to Ertai, and changed the subject by following Ertai's words.
"Little Swallow, it's getting late. Erkang and Ertai should go back. I've remembered the rules Qing'er taught me. Go to Shufangzhai. I'll teach you how to go to Shufangzhai."
"Yes, Little Swallow, I remember most of what Princess Qing said. Although I don't know much about those rules, I can fill in the gaps in your memory."
As Xiao Yanzi got closer and closer to Ertai, Yongqi and Benjamin couldn't help but step out to confirm their presence.
"Yes, Little Swallow, it's getting late. Erkang and Ertai should be leaving the palace soon, so let's not keep them any longer."
Ziwei thought about what had happened that day and felt sorry for Erkang, wanting him to go home and rest as soon as possible.
Ertai was just a side note.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry back to Shufangzhai. If we don't catch up now, tomorrow will be my death day."
Thinking of Chen Nian, Xiao Yanzi was eager to go back and catch up on her studies. She had to perform well tomorrow to make up for the bad impression she had made, so that she could go to Cining Palace to find someone to play with.
Ahhh, Chen Nian is so cute and well-behaved, so beautiful, I love her so much.
Moreover, she felt a familiar sensation from the meditation, something very similar to...
And so the group parted ways. Xiao Yanzi returned to Shufangzhai to continue her cramming, though it was uncertain whether she would succeed.
During this time, Xiao Yanzi gave up countless times, but was repeatedly dragged back to practice by Ziwei.
...
"Our Qing'er has worked hard today, come and sit down."
Chen Nian pulled Qing'er to a chair and, seeing the thin layer of sweat on Qing'er's forehead, took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped it away.
"Niannian, what do you think of this Princess Pearl?"
Qing'er felt the touch on her forehead and lowered her head slightly to ease the fatigue of holding her hand up.
"Simple-minded, careless, unconcerned with details, naive and straightforward."
Sensing the helplessness in Qing'er's tone, Chen Nian smiled faintly, spoke of his feelings for Xiao Yanzi, and then, having finished wiping, put the handkerchief away.
Do you think Little Swallow will be forgiven by the Empress Dowager tomorrow?
