Just got my eyeliner done
My eyes are so sore

"This is a matter of life and death for the nation! This isn't a game!" Madam Tang trembled with anger. "Take off your clothes immediately! If you dare to go out like this tomorrow, you won't be able to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Even the prime minister, with no wife who had lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, could not understand the importance of the overall situation.
Tang Ruozhi was yelled at so hard that he dared not speak, and timidly glanced at Prime Minister Tang.
"Hey, Madam, don't be so harsh on the child." Prime Minister Tang ran over to Madam Tang and massaged her shoulders. "Don't you want your daughter to find a good family?"
The sons of the powerful families in Funing City are either unsuccessful or their age is not a match for Tang Ruozhi. Seeing that both Helan Ruizhe and Helan Yinsheng, two of the popular girls, have been snatched away, how can he not be anxious?
"Do you think Si Shuo is a good son-in-law?" Mrs. Tang asked back. As a woman, she didn't understand the affairs of state, but a man who could lead troops to capture seven cities in one breath must be no ordinary person.
With Tang Ruozhi's brain, if he really went to him, his head would be twisted off and kicked like a ball.
"This..." Prime Minister Tang had never seen Si Shuo in person, and his portrait was rare. If Si Shuo had not led the troops in this battle, he might not have known about this person.
"Rumor has it that he's a talented and handsome young man, and his family background is also reliable..."
"Rumors?" Madam Tang sneered. "Rumors are the most unbelievable. They don't even dare let people see their portraits. They're afraid they must be too ugly to be seen."
When Prime Minister Tang heard this, he thought it made some sense, so he asked Tang Ruozhi to change his clothes back and wait and see what would happen when he went out tomorrow.
Anyway, he was going out of the city to pick up Si Shuo, so he could always see what the person looked like first.

East Palace.
Jin Suting will stay here overnight and has already asked someone to go back and inform the "old general".
She couldn't sleep at night, so she went out for a walk.
I plan to run to the kitchen to find something to eat as I tend to get hungry at night.
Taking a bowl of cold chestnut cake, she tiptoed to close the kitchen door, wanting to return to her room under the moonlight.
When she turned around, she saw a figure sitting on the eaves of the house opposite. Jin Suting was startled and looked carefully to find that it was Yuan Jing.
What is Yuan Jing doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?
Jin Suting called him. Yuan Jing was looking at the moon. Suddenly he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw it was Jin Suting. He quickly flew down from the eaves.
"Ms. Jin." Yuan Jing saluted. In his eyes, Jin Suting was no different from the official Crown Princess, so he naturally had to treat her with respect.
"It's so late, why are you on the roof?" Yuan Jing looked much more haggard. Did he suffer a blow?
There seemed to be a smell of alcohol. I saw that he had a small wine jar in his hand and was drinking.
"I'm fine, thank you Miss Jin for your concern." Yuan Jing's eyes were dull and unfocused as he looked ahead. No one would believe that he was fine.
"Nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Resign? I'm afraid it would be sad to move to another place.
"etc!"
"What's up?"
"Yuan Jing, you're not acting like this because Tan'er is missing, are you?"
"You don't like Tan'er, do you?"
Jin Suting had a look of seeing through things. If it was true, she would be happy for Qin'er.
"No, it's not." Yuan Jing was so nervous that he stuttered.
"That's such a pity," Jin Suting didn't believe it. Her nose for gossip was absolutely amazing. She pretended to be regretful. "Qin'er told me she loved you. She's going to be sad~"
"Really?!" Yuan Jing's tone was filled with rare surprise. After he realized that his mood was inappropriate, he scratched his head embarrassedly and didn't dare to look at Jin Suting.
"Pfft, I was just kidding. Qin'er never told me that." Jin Suting raised her eyebrows, pretending that her joke was very funny.
"Ah," Yuan Jing was really disappointed. As a straight man, he couldn't hide his emotions.
"You still don't like her even after this?" Jin Suting suddenly asked back, "If you like her, then go after her. Tan'er has been missing for half a month, aren't you worried?"
"If you're in a hurry, go find her and tell her how you feel, instead of drowning your sorrows in alcohol." Jin Suting patted his shoulder, encouragingly, "Keep going, I'm rooting for you!"
Yuan Jing's eyes were full of gratitude. His feelings for Qin'er were originally obscure, and he had never dared to tell her, let alone tell anyone else.
He gave Jin Suting a last look of gratitude before turning and leaving.
As soon as Jin Suting returned to the room, she was startled by a man in white carrying two quilts coming towards her.
"Helan Ruizhe, what are you doing?"
Jin Suting watched his movements in horror. What happened to this handsome guy? Did he catch a cold from sleeping on the floor for too long last night?
"Can't you see?" Helan Ruizhe felt that he had made it obvious enough. Two quilts were spread next to Jin Suting's bed, the same as last night, except that he was the one spreading the quilts.
"Don't you have a bed yourself?" Jin Suting was amused by him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had lived a life of luxury for seventeen years and he was addicted to sleeping on the floor.
"I'm afraid they will come to steal my wife in the middle of the night." Helan Ruizhe lay down obediently on the floor, silently looking forward to the beautiful night to come.
Although Jin Suting was speechless, she really couldn't do anything about him, so she had to put the chestnut cake on the table and go to bed.
The whole time she was carrying the chestnut cake from the bedside back to the table, Helan Yinsheng, who was lying on the floor, was staring at her unscrupulously. She felt that the chestnut cake in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she would knock it over right under Helan Ruizhe's nose if she was not careful.
