“Some people may not get what they want even after working hard for a long time, but everything they go through is a reward for them. So keep moving forward. No matter what you encounter, it’s a gift from God.”
——Jin Suting
***
Si Shuo frowned slightly, somewhat surprised that Helan Qin would waste his already depleted military forces to fight them again for Shi Qingmiao.
"I'll make her fall in love with me." Si Shuo's eyes were full of certainty, and there was an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.
And what about the person involved, Shi Qingmiao?
She was frightened by the sudden confession and did not dare to tell the Queen Mother or Helan Minzhi. She ran out of the palace and wanted to go to the General's Mansion to find Jin Suting. After finally arriving at the General's Mansion, she was told that Jin Suting was in the East Palace. She ran from West Street to the East Palace with tears and snot.
When she arrived, her face was red from the sun and tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes. Jin Suting was originally drawing and couldn't stand her like this. Her inexplicable maternal instinct was aroused, and she immediately took her hand and asked Shi Qingmiao in a soft voice what was going on.
Helan Ruizhe said that Shi Qingmiao was his sister, so if that's the case, Shi Qingmiao is also Jin Suting's sister.
"What's wrong? Did anyone bully you?" Jin Suting placed her in a comfortable chair, sat opposite her and carefully wiped her tears with her sleeves.
Shi Qingmiao pursed her lips, looking extremely aggrieved. Before she could say anything, her stomach growled twice so loudly that the air became quiet.
Jin Suting laughed, "Looks like you're hungry. Just wait."
As she spoke, she walked out of the study. It was almost noon and the kitchen in the East Palace was preparing lunch. Jin Suting came back with a plate of chestnut cakes.
"Here, eat this first to fill your stomach." She placed the chestnut cake in front of Shi Qingmiao. "Lunch will be ready soon. Let's eat it when Helan Ruizhe comes back."
Helan Ruizhe went to the training ground to pick out some suitable weapons for Jin Suting. The weapons in the East Palace warehouse were too heavy and difficult to use, and were not suitable for beginners.
Shi Qingmiao's emotions had stabilized. When she saw the chestnut cake, her eyes lit up. She took it and ate it without any hesitation.
She was one year younger than Jin Su Ting. The more she looked at her, the more likable she felt. She looked so much like Shi Shi. Jin Su Ting had a doting smile on her face. "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Sister Su, did you make this?" It tastes even better than what the royal chef makes, Shi Qingmiao praised it again and again in her heart.
"Well, if it tastes good, eat more. These are all yours." Jin Suting started to study pastries when she was free and found that making pastries was much easier than making cakes. Maybe she could try to open a pastry shop.
When Shi Qingmiao had almost finished eating, Jin Suting asked, "What happened to you just now? Are you okay?"
It was the first time I saw her crying so sadly. If she hadn't suffered a great injustice, Shi Qingmiao, who had always been able to control her emotions, would not have lost her composure like this.
Shi Qingmiao came to Jin Suting to ask for advice, but she still felt a little embarrassed about it and hesitated for a moment, "Today someone told me that he liked me."
"She was confessed to?" Jin Suting was shocked. Although she didn't know who had the ambition to confess to the palace maid next to the Queen Mother, she said, "This is a good thing!"
Being confessed to is naturally a good thing. If it is confessed to by the person you like, it is a happy event!
But Shi Qingmiao's expression didn't show that this was a happy event at all.
"What? Don't you like him?" Jin Suting thought of this possibility instantly, but being confessed to by someone you don't like is neither a happy event nor a sad event, so there is no need to cry so sadly.
Shi Qingmiao nodded, then shook her head. Her awkward look made Jin Suting very anxious.
Wait, "Could it be Si Shuo who said he likes you?!" Jin Suting slapped her thigh and was about to jump up with excitement.
She looked at the awkward Shi Qingmiao expectantly, and Shi Qingmiao also looked at her and nodded!
Shi Qingmiao nodded! This meant that the person who confessed to her was really Si Shuo!
What did she say? Si Shuo and Shi Qingmiao definitely have something going on! Jin Suting first felt a surge of joy at having hit upon something big, then sighed for Shi Qingmiao. This couldn't be a good thing.
But one must first clarify whether the two are in love. If so, then this isn't a bad relationship. Perhaps the Queen Mother would be willing to continue to be open-minded in finding new partners. She and Helan Ruizhe are a living, perfect example of someone who moved the Queen Mother with genuine affection (that's just her thinking).
"Do you like him?" Jin Suting recalled how Shi Qingmiao nodded and shook her head. This must have been the first time the little girl had encountered such a thing. If she were in his place, she would also be scared and helpless.
But even storytellers wouldn't dare to make up such a story. The Regent Prince Si Shuo wanted to marry Princess Helan Minzhi, but he fell in love with the palace maid Shi Qingmiao.
So the reality is far more bloody than imagined.
If the Queen Mother knew this, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
But what she didn't know was that the audacious Si Shuo had already told the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother was not so angry that she vomited blood, she was still very angry.
Shi Qingmiao was confused when faced with the question of "Do you like Si Shuo?"
She was as lost as a bird lost in the forest, with its wings broken and looking at Jin Suting with a look of help, "I don't know."
…
Jin Suting was just a love novice who had been in love once. She was at a loss when she saw Shi Qingmiao's pleading look.
She frowned in confusion, but how could she, a righteous woman, sit idly by and watch her sister's emotional problems? She recalled her time with Helan Ruizhe and the emotional journey of the heroines in the domineering CEO soap operas in romance novels. It was as if her love meridians had been opened up. Like a love guru, she asked Shi Qingmiao, "Does your heart beat faster when you're with Si Shuo?"
