"Alright, alright, let's go pick up Guan Bao's family."
Feeling depressed and melancholy, Yongqi swallowed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) and angrily changed the subject.
Waaah, Little Swallow isn't here, he can't show off anymore.
Ugh, taking advantage of the fact that his wife isn't home.
However, if his wife were here, he definitely wouldn't be able to show off, because Little Swallow loves to ponder things the most.
Not only will she not help him save face, she'll also make him watch the show with her and give her a handful of sunflower seeds to peel for her.
The others all agreed with Yongqi's words.
Yongxuan: His wife isn't here.
Fu Yuxing: The person he likes doesn't belong to him.
So let's not mistreat them.
Otherwise, I'll cry in front of them, hmph~
As for crying causing loss of face, what's the use of face anyway? Just let it go.
When you're around someone you like, saving face is never useful.
Pretending to be proud will only cause you to miss out on the person you like.
And it was precisely because they didn't care about saving face that they managed to win over their wives, hehe.
Fu Yuxing: Wait, no, he doesn't have a wife.
So sad~~~~
...
"Ahhh, Saiya, I'm telling you, I have a brother! I have a brother! My brother is a great hero!"
On the palace path, Little Swallow held a football in her hand, tossing it left and catching it right, excitedly sharing her joy with Saiya, who had come to the palace to play with them.
The two went to Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and then left. Cining Palace was a bit busy today, so Qing'er didn't go with them. The Empress Dowager thought that the girls hadn't seen each other for a long time, and since Chen Nian was a restless person, she also sent Chen Nian to go and pick up Xin Rong.
"Hmph, you have an older brother, and I have a cousin too. My cousin is also your brother's senior in school, hmph."
Sensing the pride in Xiao Yanzi's words, Saiya gave a haughty snort.
"By the way, what's that in your hand? Is it fun?"
Seeing the round object that Little Swallow was tossing and catching in her hand, Saiya asked curiously.
"Oh, this is Cuju (ancient Chinese football). Let me tell you, I even held a Cuju tournament with Niannian and the others, and in the end, our Gege team won! By the way, why wasn't E'ting with you? Isn't he the one who's most attached to you?"
Seeing Saiya's curiosity, Xiao Yanzi tossed the ball to Saiya, her words filled with pride, but her next words carried a hint of doubt.
Since Saiya became pregnant, Erting has never left her side, following her everywhere. Saiya is a lively and active person, and Erting is worried about her safety, so he follows her wherever she goes.
“I left him at home. He took care of me during this time and didn’t do any work. I left him at home to handle some things. He will come to me after he finishes what he’s doing. He’s always clinging to me and doesn’t seem to get tired of me at all.”
When E'ting was mentioned, Saiya's face was full of happiness. Although she talked about it, the happiness in her eyes was impossible to hide, and there was a hint of pride in it.
She's now past the most dangerous three months and has regained her energetic and lively personality.
She was an active person by nature, and restraining her made her uncomfortable. When E'ting found out that Saiya was pregnant, he was terrified and more anxious than Saiya herself. He changed his lazy ways and asked the doctor every day how to take care of a pregnant woman, and asked his mother how to take care of his wife.
The couple, E Min and his wife, were quite surprised. They never expected their son to have such a side to him—he was incredibly diligent.
Knowing that Saiya couldn't calm down, Erting put down everything he was doing and followed her around every day, coaxing and pampering her, giving her whatever she wanted.
He took meticulous care of Saiya, ensuring that the first three months passed peacefully before resuming his work. He had originally intended to accompany her to the palace, but Saiya strongly refused.
Knowing that the person was going to the palace to see Chen Nian, he gave them some detailed instructions before reluctantly choosing not to go with him. He had indeed fallen behind on many things recently and needed to start dealing with them, otherwise his two troublesome brothers would come after him.
E Ting: I'm heartbroken, I'm crying, my wife doesn't want me to stay with her.
Little Swallow, who was also force-fed a mouthful of dog food: ...
Ahhh, Yongqi isn't here, she can't show off anymore!
"What a pity I missed your competition. How about we have another one after I give birth to my baby?"
Saiya spoke with a hint of regret, tossed the ball in her hand, and asked how to play.
"No, it can't be held now. This is a forbidden item in the palace. We can't play with it. We were only allowed to play with it last time because Father Emperor was kind enough to do so. We definitely can't now."
Little Swallow sighed and explained to Saiya, her words tinged with regret.
"Oh? What a pity, that ball looked like a lot of fun."
"But you can't do that here. We can in Mongolia! Come with me to Mongolia sometime, and we'll have a competition there."
Hearing what Xiao Yanzi said, Saiya also felt a little regretful, then she had an idea and offered her own suggestion.
The Qing Dynasty couldn't do it, but the Mongols could.
They don't have that many rules in Mongolia.
"Going to Mongolia?"
Upon hearing Saiya's words, Little Swallow's eyes lit up.
But then, remembering Yongqi's identity, he darkened up again.
"Hmm, I'm going back to Mongolia sometime, you guys can come with me. I'll show you how to ride horses and herd cattle and sheep. Mongolia is so much fun, and there aren't so many rules. Are you going to spend your whole lives in the palace?"
Saiya said, puzzled.
E Ting promised that he could take her out to play anytime she wanted.
She married into the E family, which had a very good family background. E Min and her husband didn't have any demands on the young couple, as long as they were happy. After all, their son had been lazy since he was a child, so they didn't struggle anymore.
Their son doesn't care, so why should they? E Ting has the ability to earn money, so they won't go hungry or lack food and clothing.
The officialdom is truly like a battlefield; only those who have experienced it know how difficult it is. They only hope that their son is safe and healthy.
E Ting also protected her very well. Her personality hasn't changed at all. She still plays, eats, and drinks as she pleases. The only change is that she's become a little more sensible about the rules.
E Ting had said that Saiya didn't need to learn the rules here; it was Saiya who insisted on learning them herself. Saiya knew how thoughtful E Ting was and was very touched, but after all, she would be living here in the future, and it was impossible for her to be completely ignorant of the rules.
E Ting couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to go along with it, but he treated Saiya even better.
"That's impossible."
Xiao Yanzi blurted out that she and Yongqi couldn't stay in the palace forever.
It's true that she was willing to change for Yongqi, but she knew that the palace was not her final destination, not to mention that she had now found Xiao Jian, she had family, she had a home.
Moreover, Yongqi said that he did not want to sit in that position and would rather be an ordinary person.
They just haven't figured out a solution on how to get rid of their identities.
"That's right, come with me to Mongolia sometime."
Hearing Xiao Yanzi's words, Saiya raised an eyebrow, then looked at the ball in her hand and asked curiously.
"How do you play this?"
