Beneath Yin Qingyi's clothes, where she couldn't see, the peach blossom birthmark turned bright red, and the petals seemed to come alive, swaying on Yin Qingyi's shoulder.
Yin Qingyi felt as if she had returned to the peach grove, her body warm and comfortable. A wave of warmth emanated from the birthmark on her shoulder, enveloping her entirely. In this comfortable environment, Yin Qingyi couldn't help but drift into sleep. The very next moment, a giant peach blossom appeared on her, only twenty centimeters away. The blossom floated up and down, its petals unfurling freely. With its movement, the stamen at its heart scattered countless golden specks of light, which fell upon Yin Qingyi and were absorbed by her. This phenomenon lasted for half an hour before the giant peach blossom dissipated.
Yin Qingyi slept for an hour and a half before getting up. She sat up and stretched, and her bones immediately cracked and popped, startling both herself and the old woman beside her.
"Is there anything wrong, Master?" Granny Qi asked hurriedly.
"No." Yin Qingyi carefully withdrew her hand, felt it carefully, and then shook her head. Not only did she not feel uncomfortable, but Yin Qingyi even had a feeling of ease she had never experienced before. It wasn't just her mood, but a feeling of ease in both body and mind. This feeling was just too good.
"Should we let the imperial physician take a look?" Granny Qi carefully examined Yin Qingyi's face and breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that Yin Qingyi's complexion was good, fair and rosy. However, she was still a little worried, after all, the cracking sound just now was too crisp, just like bones breaking.
"No need, I'm fine, aren't I? If you don't believe me, I'll get up and jump around a couple of times for you to see." Yin Qingyi said, about to lift the covers and get out of bed to jump for Granny Qi to see.
"No need, no need, this old servant believes you are alright." Granny Naqi pressed down on Yin Qingyi, who was trying to jump around a bit.
“Okay, but why are the insects chirping in our yard so noisy? It wasn’t like this before.” Yin Qingyi shrugged, then frowned and looked out the window.
"No, this old servant hears no difference from usual. Besides, winter is coming soon, and there are far fewer insects. If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear them at all." Granny Naqi looked at Yin Qingyi strangely. She had to strain her ears to hear one or two insect chirps.
"Really?" Yin Qingyi frowned, listening carefully. Yes, it was indeed very noisy today. But looking at Granny Qi, she couldn't possibly be lying to her. Besides, what Granny Qi said was right. Winter was approaching, and there were fewer insects. So why was she hearing so many insect chirping sounds? And why were the sounds so clear?
"Hmm, is Your Highness still half asleep?" Granny Qi said with a smile as she helped Yin Qingyi get dressed.
"Maybe. By the way, are the children awake yet?" Yin Qingyi asked casually, her eyes flashing slightly as if she had just thought of something. In fact, she had already heard the children's voices, but she wasn't sure where they were, which was why she asked that question.
"They're up, making a ruckus in the west room," Granny Naqi replied without giving it much thought.
"Hmm." Yin Qingyi was now certain; her hearing had become incredibly sharp. Before, she couldn't hear the children making noise in the west room unless they suddenly shouted or cried loudly. But now, she could hear the three children babbling softly. She covered her shoulder. It seemed the peach grove had indeed given this birthmark some additional benefits, but was her hearing a bit of a liability? How was she going to sleep with such good hearing? She wouldn't be able to sleep.
Feeling a bit of a headache, Yin Qingyi slapped the chair next to her, and then...
"Heh, heh. Luckily I patted it down, otherwise I might have fallen if I hadn't been careful when I sat on it." Yin Qingyi gave a dry laugh as she looked at the broken piece of furniture under her hand and quietly withdrew her hand.
"...It was my carelessness that I failed to check whether the chair in the room was stable." Looking at the chair's corpse on the ground and then at her master's fair and delicate hands, Granny Naqi simply couldn't believe that the chair had been broken apart by her master's single hand. It must have been that the chair was inherently unstable.
"Hmm, it's okay, I don't sit here often either." Yin Qingyi composed herself and said calmly, then quickly walked out. She really didn't want to stay in the room anymore; it was too awkward!
After stepping out of the inner room, Yin Qingyi raised her hand and looked at the hand that had just smashed the chair. It was still fair and tender, without even a red mark! Yin Qingyi had a headache. It seemed that this had amplified her power. Luckily, it was a chair she had smashed. If it had hit a person... Yin Qingyi shuddered at the thought. Thank goodness!
It seems we need to figure out what this birthmark is giving her right now, otherwise strange things keep happening, and even Granny Naqi and the others might notice something odd about her! What if they think she's a monster and drag her away to be burned?
Stepping out of the outer room, Yin Qingyi knew at a glance that even her eyesight had improved! Before, she could only see the trees and rooftops outside the courtyard, but now she could see everything within a hundred meters clearly! She could even see people quietly yawning or scratching their butts.
Watching the little eunuch picking his butt, Yin Qingyi silently looked away, then turned to the pretty maid to clear her eyes. What she saw next was shocking—the maid was actually seducing Yinzhen! That's right, Yinzhen was being seduced by a maid just a hundred meters from Luoxue Pavilion!
Yin Qingyi immediately became interested, her eyes shining as she watched, and she pricked up her ears to try and hear if the two were talking. Unfortunately, even with her ears perked up like a rabbit's, Yin Qingyi couldn't hear anything. It seemed that her hearing and eyesight were not proportional. Yin Qingyi was a little disappointed, but it was good enough that she could see.
Meanwhile, Fucha, whom Yin Qingyi had mistaken for a maid, looked at Yinzhen with anticipation in her eyes, and her figure appeared even more delicate.
"My lord, this concubine, Fucha, went out for a walk today because the weather was nice, but I got lost and bumped into you. Please forgive me." Fucha bowed gracefully, her voice as sweet as honey.
"Where is your maid?" Yinzhen frowned. He subtly frowned at Fucha's sweet voice, but Yinzhen was well-mannered and thought that this was probably just how she sounded. He didn't say anything hurtful, but he was a little dissatisfied. Although Fucha was a princess, she was also considered half a mistress. How could her mistress go out without any maidservants accompanying her!
