Minghui couldn't understand, after all, she didn't have a mother, and no one had ever cared about her growing up. She also didn't care about others; she was only thinking about Mingxuan's situation and wanted to help her.
As for others, they were probably not within her consideration.
The reason she was so eager to help others ultimately stemmed from her desire to make good friends. Or perhaps she subconsciously felt that with Jingrou around, they wouldn't be reprimanded by the Emperor or the Empress Dowager.
If it could dampen the old woman's arrogant attitude, that would be good. At least it would show that old woman what's what!
Fortunately, the nanny was only there to teach her manners, not just someone who stayed by her side every day, which gave the girls time to discuss such matters.
Jingrou tugged at Minghui, telling her not to rush.
Jingrou's amber eyes brought a sense of calm to those around her. Her eyes weren't pure black, but rather had a strange, glassy quality, which Jingrou later learned she inherited from her father, who had little memory of her.
Her eyes are exceptionally beautiful, and they can inexplicably convince people.
Minghui might not understand, but Jingrou, who also has very deep feelings for her family, can understand it deeply.
Not to mention that Mingxuan was somewhat helpless in the palace, with only her mother as her true companion.
Minghui glanced at Jingrou, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Let's give Mingxuan some more time. Even if we have to rush this, we can't. The power of those little ones is still too insignificant.
Mingxuan had a lot on his mind about how to be honest with his mother and how to be brave enough to fight for his rest time. He was also encouraging himself.
As for the other three girls, they promised to think of a way to help her, and then they went their separate ways to go home.
Because this matter had been on her mind, Jingrou was thinking about it as she walked out the door.
Yinzhi was very unhappy.
He never expected that he would be so angry. He just wanted to tease the young girl and the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince. He didn't expect the Fifth Prince to make him lose face. Then his mother found out about it and gave him a good scolding when he got back.
If that were the case, it would be fine, but even the few crickets that I had carefully raised and hidden for a long time were discovered by my mother!
He's really having a run of bad luck lately!
I should have known better than to provoke that girl. I wonder what's so special about her that makes Lao Wu like her so much, as if he's never even seen his sister before!
Seeing Yinzhi's recent low spirits, Yinreng was pleased. He had finally taught that brat a lesson, saving him from having so much free time to bully young girls.
So when Yinreng, who was in a very good mood today, looked up and found that he had met Jingrou, his mood improved even more.
As Jingrou walked, she felt a slight loss of balance. She wanted to hold onto the side for support, but found that no one was with her—she had already sent the people below away when she arrived. Their discussion this time was a secret operation!
"What's wrong? You seem distracted." Yinreng's voice was tense—he was very happy when he first saw Jingrou, but when he looked closely, he found that she had almost fallen. Such a dramatic change in mood would make anyone feel uneasy.
Jingrou was prepared to fall, but she was just preoccupied and didn't pay attention to where she was going! She reached out to cover her face, not wanting to fall and hurt herself.
Then, Jingrou was supported by a pair of hands from the middle, and she managed to maintain her balance without falling to the ground.
When Yinreng saw that she almost fell, he was startled. He quickly took a few steps and managed to catch her, preventing the little girl from falling to the ground.
Yinreng released her and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jingrou scratched her head and smiled sheepishly, "It's nothing."
"Merit points +1..."
The system announcement, which was always very punctual, suddenly went off at this moment.
Jingrou was shocked.
You should know that even if she had lunch with Consort Yi, her merit points would only increase by 3. But just meeting someone else directly increased her merit points by one.
What does this mean?
Jingrou didn't understand. "Little salted fish, come out here. What exactly happened? Yinreng is only 7 years old. What did he do to have so many merit points?" Perhaps the future crown prince will do more things and have a lot of merit points, which is understandable. But he is only 7 years old now. What can he do?
Whether it was because it sensed her anger or something else, the lazy system finally popped up, "Host, I really can't reveal too much about daily tasks. I can only say that the higher one's status and position, the greater the possibility of accumulating merit points. This is because they have more rights to do more meaningful things, even if it's unintentional... Moreover... merit points and sin points do not cancel each other out. Perhaps someone has killed a lot of people, but as long as they have saved a lot of people, their merit points will be very high!"
After saying these words, the Salty Fish System quickly fell silent again.
Jingrou seemed to be deep in thought.
Just like when she was with her maternal grandfather, she could earn 2 merit points, and the points would increase by 2.
She thought it was just because of her maternal grandfather's many years of political achievements in the court, so she didn't find it strange at all. On the contrary, she found it strange that Yinreng suddenly added merit points to her this time!
So now it seems that my maternal grandfather's military campaigns did indeed protect many Qing Dynasty citizens, which is why he had such high merit points...
As for Yinreng, Jingrou had no idea.
"Why are you standing here blankly?" Yinreng looked at her with concern.
Yinreng had been paying attention to Jingrou's recent affairs, but in order to avoid arousing Yinzhi's suspicion, he had refrained from contacting her for several days.
However, he has recently come to a realization: since he wants to protect the little girl and be her friend, he doesn't need to worry about his older brother's opinion! At worst, he can teach him a lesson.
Jingrou shook her head, her eyes sparkling—as long as someone could bring her points, they were Jingrou's "sugar daddy"!
Regardless of where his merit points come from, they can bring him benefits anyway.
"It's alright. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me. Yinzhi has been behaving somewhat erratically, but he won't come to you anymore." Yinreng smiled, trying hard to suppress the urge to pat her head—even if they were good friends, he shouldn't do such a thing!
