Qingxue couldn't help but feel anxious. In her opinion, Liu was originally very attentive to her master, but she turned to Nian. Regardless of the process, the ending was good, and she was now favored by the emperor.
As for Guo, she still insisted on coming to Peach Blossom Village every day, but Qian Shengyan did nothing, making her a laughing stock.
She told Qian Shengyan this, but Qian Shengyan didn't seem to care much: "Then when new people come in the future, they can all go and rely on Consort Nian. That's good."
Qingxue: ...
Sigh, her master is good in every way, except he doesn't know how to win people over!
In the palace, every concubine who has a prince under her command has a few concubines who can help her in battle. Whether they are favored or not, at least they can speak up for her when something happens!
In life, having more friends means having more options!
Qingxue decided to do something herself.
It just so happened that Qian Shengyan had started her period these past few days, and Yinzhen had been busy for the past few days and hadn't come to the back courtyard. Qingxue had been waiting for several days, and finally, that evening, she heard the announcement that "The Prince has arrived!"
Just then, Qian Shengyan was sleeping, so Qingxue mustered her courage and went up to him, saying, "Greetings to Your Highness."
"Hmm, where is your master?" Yinzhen asked as he walked inside.
"Master is still taking a nap." Qingxue took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Master is not yet clean, Your Highness..."
Before she could finish saying, "You can go sit in the tranquility first," Qian Shengyan exclaimed in surprise from the bedchamber, and Yinzhen immediately quickened his pace and entered the bedchamber.
Qingxue instinctively wanted to follow, but Su Peisheng stretched out his arm and stopped her with a smile: "Aunt Qingxue, let the masters handle their own affairs. We can go in when the masters call."
Qingxue was still extremely flustered. She responded and, as usual, stood on the other side of the door, waiting with Su Peisheng on one side.
"Aunt Qingxue, you seem quite agitated today," Su Peisheng said, drawing out the last words. Qingxue's heart tightened, and she immediately glared at him fiercely: "How did you know that!"
“Our family and Auntie are old acquaintances,” Su Peisheng said calmly in a low voice. “Our family is a few years older than Auntie, so let me take the liberty of speaking frankly to her.”
Qingxue was slightly surprised. She knew Su Peisheng well; he always preferred to avoid trouble and never said anything he shouldn't.
But... Qingxue was genuinely curious, so she slightly curtsied and said, "Please enlighten me, Steward Su."
"Oh, I wouldn't call it instruction." Su Peisheng waved his hand, his face beaming with a smile. "I just want to say that Master Qian's character is exactly like this," he gave a thumbs up, "and that's exactly what the Prince likes."
Qingxue was taken aback, then seemed to be enlightened and remained silent for a long time. She lowered her head, and after a moment, she bowed again solemnly and earnestly: "Thank you for your guidance, Steward Su."
Su Peisheng smiled broadly again.
Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that the Prince was genuinely happy every time he came to Master Qian's place, Su Peisheng wouldn't have bothered to say a word.
However, the prince truly liked Master Qian's temperament. Every time he came, even if he was angry, he could calm down and go home, let alone when he was happy.
In the past, when the prince had no money, every time he got angry, the front yard would be in chaos, and everyone would be completely bewildered. It usually took several days for them to come to their senses after the prince had been angry for a while.
Now that's all right, no matter what the prince's mood is, once he's arrived at Peach Blossom Village, all that's left is happiness.
But when he thought about it, it made sense. Everyone in Peach Blossom Village, from Master Qian to the Fourth Prince to the Little Princess, was absolutely adored by the Prince. Who could stay angry in such a gentle place?
Seeing that Qingxue was stuck in a rut and insisted on doing something, Su Peisheng could only offer a few words of advice. After all, if the prince got tired of Peach Blossom Village because of a servant, then Su Peisheng's future days would not be easy either.
Qingxue's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and her mind was momentarily blank.
If she had actually said what she was about to do, what she was about to say, then...
That's like lighting a lantern in the toilet—you're asking for trouble!
She closed her eyes, and for the first time, instead of cursing Su Peisheng in her heart, she sincerely thanked him again. She breathed a sigh of relief, trying to relax and stop thinking about it.
At this moment, in the sleeping quarters.
Qian Shengyan sat on the bed, her lips pursed as if she was about to cry, her eyes slightly red.
Yinzhen, both amused and exasperated, rubbed the bump on her forehead, still somewhat incredulous: "How can someone bump their head on the headboard while taking a nap?"
Qian Shengyan had no idea!
She was sleeping when she wanted to drink some water, but didn't want to open her eyes. She woke up groggily and thought that it was okay not to drink, so she lay back down and bumped her forehead.
This canopy bed is too hard!
Qian Shengyan said angrily, "Master, I want someone to wrap this headboard with soft cloth and cotton!"
"...Are you still a child? You fell down and you blame the ground?" Yinzhen almost laughed out loud again, but seeing that Qian Shengyan's cheeks were puffed up, he knew she was really angry, so he managed to hold back. Then he remembered something and asked her, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
"Huh?" Qian Shengyan didn't understand for a moment. She looked up at Yinzhen, then followed his gaze to her lower body, and choked, "No, it doesn't hurt anymore..."
I accidentally dirtied the bed a few days ago, and Yinzhen happened to see it. It was so embarrassing.
She whimpered and buried her face in Yinzhen's arms, hiding her embarrassment. Yinzhen finally laughed, but lowered his voice and patted her back gently: "Alright, alright, still acting so spoiled. In a few years, even Foerguochun will laugh at you."
"She wouldn't..." Qian Shengyan whimpered in his arms, "Master, hold me a little longer."
Helpless, Yinzhen wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace. He gently rubbed the redness and swelling on her forehead. Qian Shengyan rested her head against his chest, frowning and enduring the pain as he rubbed it for her.
The two were speechless for a moment, but a warm and affectionate atmosphere filled the room.
Of all times, someone has to come and disturb us.
When Qingxue came in, she saw her mistress moving around in the prince's arms, while the prince patted her with a doting expression and whispered something.
She coughed lightly, lowered her eyes, and curtsied, saying, "Your Highness, Consort Liu has sent someone to invite you in. She says that Consort Liu has personally prepared a pot of ginseng chicken soup and would like Your Highness to try it."
Yinzhen looked up in surprise, and Qian Shengyan followed suit, but her face was full of interest.
Qingxue felt like she saw a few words on her master's face: "It's been a long time since anyone has come to steal my pet. Interesting."
She closed her eyes, trying hard not to laugh, and waited for her masters' instructions.
But then Yinzhen said in a deep voice, "It just so happens that your master is in poor health. It would be good for him to drink some chicken soup to nourish him. Have her send it to Peach Blossom Village."
