At first, Meng Qingrou didn't realize it, but once she did, her face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment, and she wished she could disappear from the world on the spot. The only saving grace was that only the two sisters were there, and no one else saw them.
"Sister, no, it's not what you think!"
Meng Qingqian said coldly, "Does that scoundrel He Yunxiao often come to Linxuan Palace to see you?"

Meng Qingrou shook her sister's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister, no..."

“Sister, sister, come with Nanzhu. Nanzhu made you a sachet. It’s made with calming herbs and bitter leaves. Its fragrance can relieve your headaches and help you sleep peacefully at night. Look, Nanzhu even embroidered your name here!”
The embroidery on this sachet wasn't particularly skillful, just passable, but considering it was made by her younger sister, Meng Qingqian carefully put it into her bosom.
Gently rubbing her younger sister's face, Meng Qingqian said, "Okay, I'll always carry it with me. Consider it a talisman that Nanzhu gave to me."
"Um."
