Suddenly, the slightly unpleasant mood caused by my showing weakness, and the awkwardness of possibly appearing abruptly at the banquet, vanished without a trace.
Even after he sat down in his seat, Yinreng maintained a very good mood.
Even after the banquet, when Khan took him aside for a chat, he wasn't unhappy at all.
Whose little girl is this?
Yinreng was only seven years old, so of course he wouldn't have any romantic feelings for Jingrou. The two of them were still children. He was just happy to see her again.
Yinreng was slightly embarrassed, not wanting the young girl in front of him to recognize him after she opened her eyes. Kneeling in the Imperial Garden dressed as a eunuch was never an experience worth bragging about.
Jingrou had no idea that in the short time she was asleep, the little eunuch she had sympathized with in the Imperial Garden had transformed into a different person with many thoughts running through his mind!
Yinreng didn't pay much attention to that corner. Although he was very young, he already understood that even if he liked a dish very much, he couldn't take too much of it. He also couldn't give special attention to the little eunuchs who were usually very fond of him.
He was very young, but he grew up in the palace, an environment where people fawned over the powerful and bullied the weak. Even though he was fawned over by many people, he still witnessed a lot of indifference.
Especially recently… his great-uncle. Some of the things he's done have made him wonder whether his grandfather is acting in his best interests or trying to advance his own.
From the time he was old enough to understand, countless people told him how important the Hesheli family was to him and how much his mother loved him. It was because of his deep affection for his mother that he liked his maternal great-uncle so much.
But what he sees and feels now seems to be somewhat different from what he has always kept in mind.
Just then, a little girl appeared in front of him. Yinreng had to admit that even though the scene in the Imperial Garden had made him feel somewhat embarrassed, the pale yellow figure and the exquisite oil-paper umbrella had left a very deep impression on him.
Yinreng sniffed slightly, as if the fragrance he had just smelled from the little girl was still around him. It was a scent that could only be emitted by dried flowers, not just a mixture of spices.

Jingrou was already fast asleep in her dreams. Her sweet dreams weren't just about the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with dreams), but also about the roast duck she'd been craving and the sweet pastries from her grandmother's courtyard.
In the midst of a dream, she fell into her grandmother's warm embrace and was then sent out of the palace. When she opened her eyes, she was already in her grandmother's courtyard bed.
It was already the second day, but Jingrou always woke up late, so the wet nurse didn't come in to disturb her.
"Host, you're finally awake!" The system's voice was as lively as ever, but a hint of resentment could be heard in it. Heaven knows how hard it had worked! It had thought that even if it went to the palace, it wouldn't be this lazy. Who knew it would fall asleep in the second half of the night? The system, limited by time and space, couldn't wander around freely and could only stare at the ceiling all night!
I didn't see any customs or decorations from the Qing Dynasty, but I've thoroughly studied the patterns on the palace roof!
You have to understand that they do have KPIs, although the requirements are relatively low, but they shouldn't be as outrageous as the current host...
Jingrou's little brain had just started working again, and she didn't quite understand what the system was saying.
Oh... they've already left the palace...
"Is the mission complete?" Jingrou's eyes were practically sparkling with excitement. If the mission was successful, would she be able to get the big gift pack the system had mentioned? She was really looking forward to seeing what it might contain!
The lazy system froze for a while, and it kept telling me about some big gift package. It's made it impossible for me to complete my task yet. But after a short break, it finally spoke up, "Yes, dear, you can close your eyes and feel it; you should be able to receive it!"
Maintaining a smile is a professional quality of a qualified system! The Xianyu system told itself this many times before it finally brainwashed itself.
It's all its fault for not controlling its host properly; the host actually fell asleep and then spent so much time dawdling! It needs to learn from this experience and not underestimate its host just because the host is a child now!
Jingrou was completely satisfied.
It's quite amazing, actually. He didn't feel anything in his mind; he just closed his eyes and subconsciously felt that he should focus his mind on a certain place. Then, he felt a weight in his hand, and something appeared.
She couldn't help but rub her chubby little hands together, wondering what it was.
