She was genuinely worried that Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi wouldn't be able to get past Consort Yu. Consort Yu cared deeply for the Fifth Prince and wouldn't tolerate any mistakes from Yongqi.
She could help with other matters, but she really couldn't help Consort Yu. Although Consort Yu treated her well, she was definitely better off with her own son than with the Fifth Prince.
Yongqi was frustrated by Xiaoyanzi's avoidance, but her attitude was to not interfere or meddle, letting things develop freely while she simply watched and enjoyed the show.
She was clueless about relationships, and the things she said, did, or suggested were not very helpful. That's how she managed to win over Ertai.
As for Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi, it was only a matter of time. Yongqi may be depressed, but he has never stopped being kind and caring towards Xiaoyanzi. Not to mention that the two were originally a perfect match, not to mention that Benjamin has now voluntarily withdrawn.
Spending every day with Xiao Yanzi, she could feel that Xiao Yanzi's hardened heart was slowly wavering, but it was just a little short of being fully formed.
She and Xiao Yanzi are actually quite similar; both are insecure and timid when it comes to relationships, and they don't believe that such a good thing would come to them.
However, she was lucky. Many people in her life gave her confidence, and Ertai also gave her a strong sense of security, which allowed her to take that step under the influence of alcohol.
She knew that if she hadn't been drinking that day, she wouldn't have done that; she worried about what would happen if things didn't work out and they couldn't be friends anymore.
But at the same time, she was also glad that she had spoken up while drunk, and it felt really good to be with Ertai openly and honestly.
"This young woman was picking lotus flowers on her way to the capital to find her relatives. She passed through this place, but her father fell seriously ill, and all her travel money was used up... So she had no choice but to sell herself to bury her father..."
Qing'er murmured softly to herself.
Ertai pulled him back from his reverie, and upon hearing Qing'er's words, he followed Qing'er's gaze to the words on the ground.
"Cai Cai—"
Looking at the words on the ground, Chen Nian felt a strange sense of familiarity and subconsciously murmured to himself. He uncertainly focused his gaze on the character "采" (cǎi), and then, looking at the three dots with a hook at the end of the character, he suddenly looked up at the kneeling person.
Cailian, who was bowing her head to thank him for the money, heard Chen Nian's murmur and subconsciously looked up. Their eyes met, and the familiar face made them both startled.
Chen Nian's heart skipped a beat. Please, please, it's not that little devil!
She prayed silently in her heart, but the next second, Cailian's words shattered her expectations.
"teacher--"
Cailian's gaze fell on a barely noticeable red mole on Chen Nian's earlobe. A surge of emotion crossed her eyes, and the word "teacher" slipped out of her mouth.
Because Cailian had her head down, lost in thought and focused on other things, I hadn't paid much attention to her appearance until now.
Damn, it's practically the little girl who's always been clinging to her from the depths of her memory, only now her playful short hair has turned into long hair, and she's become so gentle and graceful.
Oh no, how did the little devil end up in this world too?
Hearing that familiar tune, buried deep in her mind, that made her temples throb and slightly upturned at the end, Chen Nian felt a sense of collapse; her peaceful life was about to be disrupted again.
However, thinking of the gentle and graceful Cailian she had seen before, Chen Nian suddenly wanted to laugh. It was really difficult for a mischievous monkey to pretend to be gentle and graceful.
"Odd changes, even remains the same—"
"The sign indicates the quadrant—"
