Yu Yun decided to go back and think it over before deciding who to align himself with. He got up and left, leaving Yun Yiyi alone in the pavilion.
Yun Yiyi was a little confused. Wasn't this person just being quite enthusiastic? Why did he suddenly leave?
Yun Yiyi came here only to pick some flowers to put in a vase, and she left after Yu Yun left.
Xiao Li was completely confused. What were the male and female protagonists talking about?
"Princess, over here."
Xiao Li almost walked to the pond, but Lan Xiang quickly reminded her. Xiao Li came to her senses and followed Lan Xiang to the path over there.
The rare and exotic animals in the Imperial Garden weren't anything special, except for their pretty feathers and unusual appearances.
Xiao Li wasn't very interested in watching the fish, but she found the koi in the pond more attractive. She fed the fish and didn't return to her palace until it was almost time for her meal.
Upon returning to the palace, I saw that Yun Yiyi had come again. As a study companion, she did not need to be by the princess's side 24 hours a day; she only came when the princess summoned her.
Xiao Li didn't summon her today, but she came on her own.
"Princess, look, these are flowers I picked especially for you. Aren't they beautiful?"
Yun Yiyi was holding an open vase filled with several kinds of colorful flowers, which were arranged quite nicely.
Xiao Li became interested, took another narrow-mouthed, round-bellied bottle, and put a few more flower branches inside.
It instantly transformed from a flower basket into a work of art, elevating its status significantly.
Yun Yiyi's face turned green.
Xiao Li watered the vase and had Yun Yiyi hold it.
"Let's go and deliver it to Her Majesty the Empress."
The original owner was able to grow up safely in the palace because the empress took good care of her, which allowed her to develop a bold and reckless personality.
Phoenix Palace.
The Empress sat on a small couch to rest. She had just finished dealing with her household affairs, and several senior palace maids were giving her a massage.
When Xiao Li entered, she specifically asked the people not to make a sound. She pushed away the hand of the head palace maid Chun Yue and stood behind the Empress to massage her shoulders.
"Hmm, Chun Yue's cooking skills have improved. I feel much better today."
Chunyue replied with shame, "This servant's skills are lacking, I am extremely ashamed."
Why is the sound coming from the side?
The Empress opened her eyes and turned her head to look, and saw Xiao Li giving her a vigorous massage.
"So it's Yingning. Your cooking is quite good. It has relieved my fatigue."
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Mother, I'm glad you're happy. I'll come and massage you every day when you're tired."
The Queen smiled and said, "How can I let Xiao Yingning massage me every day? What will I do if my little princess gets tired?"
The Empress pointed to the brocade stool and asked Xiaoli to sit down, but Xiaoli insisted on sitting down, so the Empress let her have her way, and the mother and daughter talked like that.
Xiao Li pointed to the vase that Yun Yiyi was holding.
"Mother, look at the vase I made, isn't it beautiful? I brought it here especially for you."
The Empress looked over and saw a branch of intensely beautiful, cold-colored cherry blossoms, placed in a sky-blue, narrow-mouthed, round-bellied vase. One blossom was in full bloom, while another was still forming buds. The flowers had just been watered and looked delicate and fresh.
"It's beautiful, so gorgeous."
Chunyue took it and placed it on the table under the window, instantly brightening the room.
A little while later, a palace maid brought out the meal, and Xiao Li was invited to stay for a meal. She happily enjoyed a free meal.
Yun Yiyi watched with her mouth watering. After Xiao Li finished eating, she bid farewell to the Empress and returned home.
Yun Yiyi was already starving. Lanxiang glanced at her and secretly curled the corners of her mouth.
Lanxiang just went to the small room for some snacks, but her companion refused to play with them, so Lanxiang didn't take her with her. She must be starving now.
When she got back, it was past mealtime, and Yun Yiyi ate cold rice, feeling very uncomfortable.
He had intended to curry favor with the princess and perhaps even get a free meal that evening, but in the end, he lost everything and went hungry for most of the day.
When I get back, I'll only be able to eat cold rice, but I have to eat cold rice, it's better than starving.
Xiao Li spent the next few days in a very peaceful manner. She went to school obediently, paid her respects to the Empress, and played the zither and painted in her spare time.
If life could be this comfortable forever, that would be quite wonderful.
