the next day.
Chen Nian was dragged out of bed early in the morning by Ying'er. He ate some porridge in a daze, and then, under the concerned gazes of the Empress Dowager and Qing'er, Ying'er and Xuan'er took him to the Imperial Study.
During that time, I was not fully awake and was in a daze.
Chen Nian never imagined that going to school would require getting up so early.
I have to say, I regret it now.
"Chen Nian, you're coming to class too? Hahaha, now I have someone to keep me company."
When Xiao Yanzi arrived for class, she saw a person standing in front of the study looking confused. She quickly stepped forward and gave Chen Nian a big bear hug.
He kept muttering to himself.
Contemplative: ? ? ?
Those following behind Xiao Yanzi shook their heads helplessly at her actions; Xiao Yanzi truly loved to ponder.
"Cough cough, Little Swallow, let go of me, you're going to strangle me to death."
Little Swallow gave Chen Nian a big bear hug, and with her loud, boisterous voice, she startled him awake. He was instantly wide awake, patted Little Swallow's back, and gestured for her to let go.
Turning his head, he met a big, smiling face. The shock in his heart slowly dissipated, and he curved his lips into a faint smile.
Haha, sorry, I got so excited to see you, you know?
Yesterday, after learning from Yongqi that you were also coming to the Imperial Study, I was so excited that I barely slept last night and got up very early this morning.
Hearing Chen Nian's voice, Xiao Yanzi let go of his hand, still talking excitedly.
"Oh, by the way, what brings you to the Imperial Study?"
Little Swallow held Chen Nian's uninjured hand and asked with concern.
Yongqi and Benjamin, who were following behind Xiaoyanzi, also pricked up their ears to listen, wondering if she was an spies sent by the Empress Dowager.
It's no wonder they're overthinking things. Little Swallow just burned the Empress Dowager's Dharma boat, and yesterday she frightened Chen Nian. Today, she's arranged for Chen Nian to come to the Imperial Study. It's hard not to make them think.
Ertai's heart was entirely focused on the person in front of him.
"Um--"
Seeing the urgency in Xiao Yanzi's eyes, Chen Nian paused, unable to say what he was about to say.
Hey, you want to know? I won't tell you, you scared me just now.
"How did you get here? Tell me, tell me!"
Hearing Chen Nian pause, Xiao Yanzi's appetite was whetted, and she shook Chen Nian's hand.
"I heard you have a lot of fun in class, so I came."
Feeling the pressure on his hand, Chen Nian stopped teasing Xiao Yanzi. Xiao Yanzi was already being affectionate, and it would be impolite to tease her any further.
"ah?!"
Upon hearing Chen Nian's reason, Xiao Yanzi, holding Chen Nian's hand, paused, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at him.
She hadn't expected the reason for her deep contemplation to be so simple and blunt.
She was ordered to attend class by the Emperor, while Chen Nian came to watch her make a fool of herself during class.
The best friend she had been thinking about so much was now thinking about her embarrassing class experience. Xiao Yanzi felt like she had been hit with a thousand points of damage.
"Pfft—"
Several bursts of laughter came from behind her, instantly igniting Xiao Yanzi's impatience.
"Spotted Dove, Yongqi, Ertai! You are not allowed to laugh."
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the people behind her, Xiao Yanzi glared at them angrily.
Seeing the "fierce" look in Xiao Yanzi's eyes, the others obediently shut their mouths, though their shoulders shrugged.
Although they kept quiet, they demonstrated their good behavior through their actions.
After stopping their laughter, he turned to look at Chen Nian and saw the smile on her face. He then grabbed Chen Nian's hand and shook it hard.
"Chen Nian, you've really broken my heart."
"Well, what can I do? Your classes are so fun, they really attract my attention."
He feigned helplessness, his eyes full of laughter, and let Xiao Yanzi swing her hand.
I have to say, teasing Little Swallow is really fun.
"Alright, alright, since I have such a great reputation as Little Swallow, I'll be magnanimous and let you off the hook."
Seeing the smile in Shen Nian's eyes, Xiao Yanzi generously chose to let Shen Nian go.
"Ah, right, Mingyue Caixia, bring out the things we chose yesterday and give them to Niannian."
Thinking of what happened yesterday, Little Swallow turned her head and called out to the bright moon and colorful clouds behind her.
"I'm so sorry about what happened to Niannian."
Little Swallow apologized again earnestly.
"It's really okay, you don't need the stuff anymore, I'm fine. By the way, is your knee alright?"
Hearing Xiao Yanzi apologize again, Shen Nian shook her head. She really didn't care. As long as the Empress Dowager was alright, she didn't have to drink bitter medicine, and she wasn't injured, she wouldn't take it too seriously.
To be honest, she didn't expect Xiao Yanzi to care so much about this. Yesterday's incident was mostly her own fault. The ball had already been blocked, so it had little to do with Xiao Yanzi anymore. It was just that she hadn't recovered.
Moreover, she remembered that in the original drama, Xiao Yanzi was not punished by kneeling.
That must be because of myself.
"It's nothing, it's nothing serious. I've already applied the medicine, it's nothing to worry about."
Xiao Yanzi waved her hand dismissively. It was all a small matter. She had made a mistake, so kneeling was fine. As long as she was alright, that was all that mattered.
"Please accept the things, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Seeing that he was reluctant to comply, I tried to persuade him.
Hearing Xiao Yanzi's words and seeing the undeniable refusal in her eyes, Chen Nian couldn't refuse. "Ying'er, accept it."
"That's more like it."
Seeing that the person had accepted the gift, Little Swallow patted Chen Nian on the back.
Thinking of blocking the ball, Chen Nian suddenly remembered that he didn't know who had blocked it for him. If it weren't for that person, he would have gotten hurt again. Thinking this, he asked Xiao Yanzi.
"Who helped me block Little Swallow's shot yesterday?"
"Ertai, Ertai stopped it. You don't know, he scolded me yesterday and told me to be careful."
Little Swallow spoke casually, pointing to Ertai behind her.
May Princess Chen be blessed.
Upon hearing his name called, Ertai stepped forward, looked at Chen Nian standing in front of him, whose eyes still held a hint of a smile, and his own eyes also lit up with a smile. He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
He felt that God was helping him, allowing them to meet again and again.
"Thank you for yesterday."
Upon hearing that it was Ertai, Chen Nian showed surprise and bowed.
She unconsciously felt more favorably toward Ertai. No wonder he was someone she liked from watching the show; his reaction was quick.
She was prepared to be hit yesterday, but unexpectedly, she was stopped.
However, she seemed to recall that Erkang and Ertai didn't appear in the original storyline.
Why aren't you going in yet?
Before Ertai could speak, the voice of the Emperor, who had just finished court and was there to watch Xiaoyanzi's class, came from behind him.
Everyone turned around and bowed in unison, saying, "(Your Majesty) may Your Majesty be well."
"well."
The Emperor waved his hand, signaling for people to stand up, and walked over to Chen Nian, who was standing with Xiao Yanzi.
"Niannian, how are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you? What did the imperial physician say? Also, Little Swallow, you were really too careless yesterday."
While the Emperor was concerned about Chen Nian, he also gave Xiao Yanzi a scolding.
