Chapter 307 I will help you keep an eye on the Second Prince
At that time, Li Manyan was busy with the Spring Banquet with Madam Li every day. The two sisters didn't think anything of it and urged her to go back quickly so as not to miss the important business.
Even now, the two girls only think that Li Manyan had something come up, and no one knows that Li Manyan went to have dinner with Xie Yunchuan.
Now that she thinks about it, Li Manyan suddenly feels a strange sense of guilt towards her two girlfriends.
Sheng Sheng couldn't help but smile, unable to contain herself. She couldn't believe that her brother didn't even have time to eat a meal with her, but he was so free when it came to her sister Yan Yan.
The little dumpling showed no sign of unhappiness at the thought of being treated differently by her older brother; her heart and eyes were filled with the joy of having heard the gossip.
She even suspected that Xie Yunchuan's appearance at the rouge shop was not a coincidence. What chance encounter? She didn't believe it at all. Xie Yunchuan was busy all day long. How could he possibly be at the rouge shop to buy a gift for his mother at this time?
It's not that Xie Yunchuan wouldn't personally choose a gift for Consort Rong; what Sheng Sheng meant was that even if Xie Yunchuan were to do this, he would definitely do it after he had finished his own business.
It's strange that he could still have a "chance encounter" with Li Manyan amidst his busy schedule.
Sheng Sheng chuckled with a crooked mouth, "What coincidence? It was all on purpose!"
Li Manyan was confused by the sudden burst of laughter: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, oh, it's nothing, it's just that I felt that my brother, a grown man, would definitely not understand things for girls. Just thinking about him standing alone in front of a row of nail polishes, seriously choosing them, makes me want to laugh."
Sheng Sheng cheerfully linked arms with Li Manyan, "Hehe, it's good that I met you, Sister Yan Yan. The color of that nail polish suits Mother so well."
"I just picked it out myself, as long as Your Highness likes it."
The two chatted casually for a while longer, and Sheng Sheng felt sad at the thought that after she set off for the State of Jin, she would no longer be able to stand on the front lines and watch the drama unfold like this.
"Sister Yan Yan, Sheng Sheng is about to leave for Jin State. It may be a long time before I can chat with you."
He let out a mournful wail and silently shed tears for a while because he couldn't get his hands on the melon.
Li Manyan thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Is it because of the Rejuvenating Herb?"
She had heard about it, but it was mostly hearsay, and she didn't know the specifics.
"Uh-huh."
Seeing Sheng Sheng nod, Li Manyan felt a little more at ease, but since it was a matter between members of the royal family, she couldn't say much. She could only comfort her, "It's okay, we can still chat even if we're not together."
Sheng Sheng asked curiously, "If you're not even together, how can you talk?"
"How about this, before you set off, tell me your approximate route. Every city has an official post station, right? I'll write you letters a few days in advance, so when you pass through a post station, you'll see my letters. After you read them, you can write back to me from the post station."
Wow, really?!
Sheng Sheng jumped up excitedly. Yes, how could she have forgotten that?
If we can't meet, we can write letters. If that doesn't work, she can send letters by carrier pigeon!
She saw her brother taking little notes from the pigeon's legs all day long, and she found it so interesting that she decided to just rob a pigeon from him!
Sheng Sheng, who originally thought she would be isolated from the world for a while, suddenly found that she could still enjoy the gossip remotely. The whole group was energized again and jumped for joy.
Sheng Sheng aimed a kiss at Li Manyan's cheek and planted a big kiss on her cheek: "Sister Yan Yan, you're so smart! How come I didn't think of that! I love you!"
Li Manyan was already used to her quirky personality, and after a moment of surprise, she laughed.
Li Manyan remained seated. Sheng Sheng stood up so they could look each other in the eye. Li Manyan tapped her head with her finger: "You."
"Hehe, then it's settled. When Sheng Sheng is no longer in the capital, Sister Yan Yan must write a letter to Sheng Sheng too."
"good."
Sheng Sheng extended her little finger, signaling Li Manyan to make a pinky promise.
Li Manyan smiled and extended her little finger, hooking it together with hers.
The two women exchanged a smile, and Sheng Sheng, quick-witted, began to play with her hand and coax her, "Sister Yan Yan, since you're going to write a letter to Sheng Sheng, could you please ask Sister Yan Yan to show more concern for your brother?"
"Um?"
Li Manyan tilted her head slightly, indicating her confusion.
Sheng Sheng's mind was buzzing, and she used all her efforts to deceive people: "Well, it's like this, as you know, Sister Yan Yan, my brother is always busy with this and that. Usually, I don't really understand what he's busy with, so I can't care about him. And my brother isn't really good at telling others about his own things. He always solves things on his own. He rarely tells me anything that's on his mind."
Li Manyan slowly came to understand what Sheng Sheng was saying, thinking that Sheng Sheng was complaining that Xie Yunchuan didn't express his feelings to her. After thinking for a moment, she comforted her.
"His Highness is a composed person, and as the elder brother, he naturally has his own pride and self-esteem. So how could he easily reveal his vulnerability to those close to him, especially his younger sister?"
"Sheng Sheng knows, but that's precisely why Sheng Sheng is so worried about her brother."
Sheng Sheng looked at her pitifully, "Sister Yan Yan, think about it. Sheng Sheng is thousands of miles away from the capital, and my brother doesn't say anything. How can Sheng Sheng be at ease outside? Does Sheng Sheng have to worry about my brother while going to find Hui Chun Cao?"
Li Manyan hesitated, but Sheng Sheng saw her moved and thought to himself that he had a chance. He quickly pressed his advantage, "Sigh, I really feel sorry for my brother. He always likes to silently process his emotions, and there's no one around to care about him... Sister Yan, you and my brother don't know many people. Since you want to correspond with Sheng Sheng, why not help him out with this little favor?"
"But, I don't think I'm close enough with the Second Prince to confide in him. Would that be inappropriate?"
"No, no, of course it won't be too much trouble for Sister Yan Yan. Just tell Sheng Sheng how Brother is doing lately, such as whether Brother has encountered any problems, or if something big has happened that is giving Brother a headache!"
The little dumpling looked at her pitifully. Since she had already said so much, Li Manyan naturally couldn't refuse anymore.
The fact that the little dumpling could ask her for such a favor shows that she trusts her.
It's just a matter of occasionally checking on the Second Prince's situation. What's so difficult about that? We can't let the Second Princess down!
Li Manyan finally relented and nodded, "Okay, I promise you, I will keep an eye on the Second Prince's situation, don't worry."
Sheng Sheng nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you, Sister Yan Yan!"
