Li Qingmeng's favorability rating has increased from 10 to 30.
Fu Huang? Fu Huang? Fu Huang?
He Yunxiao was a little embarrassed, as he hadn't quite heard what Li Qingmeng was saying.
"Young master, what did you just say about 'Paying Huang'?"
Meng Qingqian snapped out of her daze, realizing her earlier lapse in composure, and was immediately embarrassed. However, as the eldest princess, her composure was exceptional. Her momentary lapse was brief; she had already devised a plan for how to deal with this strange man who had suddenly appeared.
However, before she could speak, she saw He Yunxiao take out a handkerchief close to his body.
Then, something even more disheartening happened.
He Yunxiao took the handkerchief and wiped the drool from her mouth.
To make sure it was clean, He Yunxiao carefully wiped her mouth back and forth, making sure not a drop of saliva was left behind.
Meng Qingqian stood frozen in place, her brain having lost the ability to think due to social paralysis.
She's lived for almost twenty years, and she's only lost control twice today. Once she choked on fruit, and the other time she spat out fruit and drooled.
The man saw it all!
At this moment, Meng Qingqian just wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in and never have to touch the terrifying human society again.
He Yunxiao did not originally have the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him.
But after what happened to Sister Du last time, He Yunxiao fully realized the importance of the handkerchief.
As a result, handkerchiefs became an essential item for him, and he would even take several with him when he went out.
After all, Du Meimei isn't his only wife.
Right now, this handkerchief has come in handy.
After wiping the drool from the corner of the girl's mouth, He Yunxiao carefully folded the handkerchief and, in front of her, carefully put it into his pocket.
Even with Meng Qingqian's strong mental fortitude, she had never encountered such behavior from He Yunxiao!
What does it mean to carefully put away the handkerchief that was smeared with her saliva?
She suppressed her shame, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Give me the handkerchief!"
Seeing that the girl was asking him for a handkerchief, He Yunxiao would never give it to her.
He Yunxiao said matter-of-factly, "How can this young master be so unreasonable? I rescued you first, and then used my own handkerchief to tidy your appearance. This is more than enough. But what did you do? Not only did you not thank me, but you also demanded my handkerchief back. How can this be? Does this mean that those who save others should compensate those they save?"
Meng Qingqian had unspeakable suffering.
She was naturally grateful to the handsome stranger for saving her life, but as the eldest princess and a role model for all the people of Qi, her reputation was naturally more important than her life.
If this embarrassing incident of choking and drooling were made public, it wouldn't just be her face that would be lost, but the face of the entire Meng royal family and the Qi Kingdom.
He might not die to prove his innocence, but he'd inevitably become a topic of conversation and a laughing stock for people around the world for years to come.
For someone like Meng Qingqian, who values self-respect (face), it would be better to die than to become a laughingstock.
Fortunately, the one who is now losing face is not the eldest princess of Qi, but an unnamed young man with a delicate and effeminate appearance.
It turns out the girl disguised herself as a boy to get into the Deer Antler Academy. Now that this has happened, she absolutely cannot let the man who accepted the handkerchief discover her true identity. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
Meng Qingqian organized her thoughts and words, lowered her voice, and, imitating the man, cupped her hands to He Yunxiao and said, "I, Xiao Li, thank you for your help, brother. In the future, if there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask."
“But…” she changed the subject, “I really love the handkerchief you used just now, and I’m willing to pay a high price to buy it. Please, brother, bear with the loss and grant my request.”
He Yunxiao was very generous and said, "What do you mean by expensive? A handkerchief isn't worth much. I'll give it to you."
Hearing that she could have something shameful, Meng Qingqian was secretly pleased. But her pleasure lasted only a few seconds before she was filled with hatred for this rather handsome man.
He Yunxiao pulled out a brand new handkerchief from his pocket, exactly the same as the previous one, and it had never been used before.
Then he very generously placed it in Meng Qingqian's hands.
“I happen to have two identical handkerchiefs. Since you like them so much, I’ll give you this brand new one.”
Looking at the brand-new handkerchief in her hand, Meng Qingqian knew that it was probably hopeless for her to ask for the used handkerchief back.
Honestly, since Meng Qingqian took over her mother's power, even the shrewd and experienced Prime Minister Han Wenxin has never made her suffer such a great loss!
She began to employ her cunning and ruthless nature, memorizing the man's appearance and preparing to retaliate at any moment!
As the eldest princess, Meng Qingqian was by no means unreasonable. Although she hated this man to the core, it was an undeniable fact that he had done her a favor and had saved her in a righteous act.
"May I ask your name, sir? I will prepare a small gift to express my gratitude for saving my life," she asked.
He Yunxiao initially wanted to reveal his name directly, but then he thought that his bad reputation might give the girl who carried the antidote a negative impression. This would only increase the difficulty of his pursuit, which would be counterproductive.
So he said, "Xiao Yun is just an unknown figure in the capital. This small gift is nothing; it was just a small favor, no need to stand on ceremony."
Then he asked, "May I ask your honorable name, sir?"
Looking at He Yunxiao's attire and appearance, Meng Qingqian couldn't believe he was an unknown person. Instead, he exuded the air of an incompetent playboy, much like her cousin Li Jin.
