Seeing that she was really alright, Yan Yue finally felt relieved and sighed dejectedly, "What should we do then? What if we get chosen? I don't want to go to the palace and marry an old man!"
Heyue:……
Is it appropriate for you to say that? Aren't you afraid someone will hear you and kill you?
"Why don't you say you don't want to marry the Fourteenth Prince? I think he's been eyeing you all along." He Yue rolled her eyes at her, utterly at a loss for words.
"Oh? I forgot! What should I do?" Yan Yue's face grew increasingly distressed, and she looked very nervous.
"What are you so worried about? With your personality, the Emperor might not even choose you." Heyue leaned closer to her and whispered, "You don't need to worry about the Fourteenth Prince's matter. Yiduli said he would find a way. Don't forget, Yiduli is the Crown Prince's cousin. Just focus on preparing for the selection."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yue breathed a heavy sigh of relief, her smile returning, and patted her chest: "That's good, that's good."
Heyue glanced at the two maids her mother had sent outside and whispered a reminder: "You'd better apologize to your mother quickly, or you won't even be able to leave this house. You'll be spending the next six months learning manners every day."
Yan Yue nodded vigorously, treating He Yue's words as gospel.
Seeing her like this, Heyue couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly, she remembered something and frowned, asking, "Sixth Sister, I heard you're on a hunger strike?"
"Huh?" Yan Yue was caught off guard by the question and was stunned. She then laughed awkwardly, "Well, I had no other choice. This is just a temporary measure."
"I truly admire you to the core. You even went on a hunger strike for Yiduli, and it was just a temporary measure?! How foolish!" Heyue chuckled, then glanced at her stomach, her eyebrows twitching as she asked, "Are you hungry?"
Yan Yue clutched her stomach and wailed, "Of course I'm hungry! I'm starving!"
"Hmph! Serves her right!" He Yue was not moved by her pitiful appearance at all, and even had a hint of schadenfreude.
Yan Yue was already feeling guilty, so she didn't dare to say anything at this moment.
Despite saying that, Heyue still had some snacks brought over.
The moment Yan Yue saw the pastries, her eyes lit up, and she pounced on them, grabbing a piece and gobbling it down.
It looked as if he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.
"Do you have to do this? Since Yiduli has said so, and he's not going to run away, you can just wait patiently. Why do you have to argue with your mother? Now look what's happened, you're the one who's suffering." Heyue couldn't bear to watch and mocked her mercilessly.
After Yan Yue finished eating, He Yue reminded her, "I'm going to find Mother and tell her that you know you were wrong. You must never say such things again, understand?"
"Mmm, I know!" Yan Yue nodded repeatedly, hugging her and giving her a big kiss on the cheek: "I knew you were the best!"
Heyue wiped her face, speechless, feeling like she had raised a troublesome child.
Even though the other person is her older sister, she doesn't seem to have any sense of responsibility as the older sister, and instead becomes increasingly dependent on her.
Heyue told her mother that her sixth sister knew she was wrong. Only then did her mother see her sixth sister. Seeing her obedient appearance, her mother was relieved and finally lifted her confinement.
Back in Sixth Sister's room, Sixth Sister grabbed Heyue's hand, dismissed the maids, and pulled Heyue to sit down on a chair.
He Yue, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Can you take me out to meet Yiduli?" Yan Yue asked vaguely, her head lowered and her fingers twisting together.
He Yue's expression immediately changed. She suddenly stood up, glaring at her through gritted teeth: "Sixth Sister, have you forgotten what I said?!"
She's already causing trouble again after just being released from confinement? I shouldn't have asked Mother to lift her confinement!
Yan Yue waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, I remember what you said. I won't do anything. I'm just worried and want to see him so I can feel at ease." As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and she gently shook He Yue's sleeve with both hands: "Good sister, please promise me. I promise I will be good and won't say anything I shouldn't say. I just have a few questions I want to ask him."
Heyue couldn't stand her sixth sister's coquettishness. When her sixth sister acted coquettishly, she was like an adorable porcelain doll, so cute!
"Alright, I promise you, but I have to go with you, and you have to do whatever I say." Heyue took a step back, but she was still worried about her sixth sister going alone, afraid that her sixth sister would cause some trouble.
Yan Yue was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
If I were to let my sixth sister go out at this time, my mother would definitely disagree. Even if I were to accompany her, my mother would still not feel at ease.
Heyue came up with an idea: she would go to the Fourth Prince's residence with her sixth sister and help her relax.
As expected, Mother agreed.
As they boarded the carriage leaving the manor, Yan Yue was overjoyed. Holding He Yue's hand excitedly, she exclaimed, "Seventh Sister, you really have a way with things! Don't worry, I'll do anything for you in the future!"
"It's settled then. You'll do whatever I say today, or I'll never let you see Iduli!" Heyue warned again, her tone unusually firm.
"Oh, don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you." Yan Yue pouted, a little dissatisfied, but still agreed happily because she was able to get out.
The two women paid their respects to the Fourth Prince's wife. Heyue briefly told her that she wanted to go out for a walk with her sixth sister, and that she was worried about her mother, so she asked the Fourth Prince's wife for help.
The Fourth Princess Consort readily agreed: "You two are so naughty, I'll help you, but you must be back before 5 PM, otherwise I will definitely tell the Prince."
He Yue smiled broadly and said, "Thank you very much, Fourth Princess Consort."
"Just pretend that Yan Yue is learning chess at home. I will have someone guard outside the side room, and one of your maids will also stay outside the door."
