Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qian Qing asked, “Eldest Princess, do you want me to help you send a sachet to
Young Marquis Luo as well?”
“No, how can I do that? The Prince Regent will definitely be jealous if I give another man a sachet even if that person is his good friend,” Yu Yunxi said casually as she crossed her arms.
Qian Qing frowned and asked, puzzled, “Then what do you plan to do, Eldest Princess?”
Yu Yunxi coughed lightly and said, “Didn’t you embroider a sachet with me as well? Give him yours.”
It had been a long time since Qian Qing and Luo Xiuran’s relationship had any progress. It was time to make another move.
Upon hearing these, Qian Qing recalled the pattern she embroidered on the sachet. Yu Yunxi had embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks. At that time, Yu Yunxi advised her to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks as well. At that time, she did not think too much of it and followed Yu Yunxi’s advice. Alas, her skills were limited, and the ducks she embroidered were crooked.
“E-eldest Princess, my sachet is too ugly. It’s not suitable to be given away. Why don’t I find a new one?” Qian Qing said with an unnatural tone.
Yu Yunxi shook her head and said, “Don’t worry. That sachet is used to store life-saving herbs. It doesn’t matter if it looks good or not.”
‘In any case, a certain young marquis won’t care about how good the embroidery looks. As long as it’s embroidered by Qian Qing, he’ll be over the moon…’
“But… ”
“It’s getting late, Qian Qing,” Yu Yunxi said, pretending to be serious.
Qian Qing suddenly thought of an excuse and said, “But I don’t have any herbs in my sachet.”
‘It’s weird and awkward to give Luo Xiuran the sachet I embroidered..
“Don’t worry. I’ve already prepared the herbs for you,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile as she brought the herbs she had prepared earlier out of the box.
Qian Qing: .
There was nothing else Qian Qing could say at this moment. However, she was still unwilling. She said, “Eldest Princess, I seem to have misplaced that sachet.
I’d better find another one.’
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow. “I have very keen eyes.”
As she spoke, Yu Yunxi reached out and pulled out a sachet from Qian Qing’s waist pocket.
Qian Qing: .
‘Fine.’
Qian Qing gave up struggling. She sighed and resigned herself to her fate.
After Yu Yunxi placed the herbs in the sachet, she handed it to Qian Qing.
‘It’s fine. Just treat this as a mission. Luo Xiuran might not even be in the King of Youshan’s Residence now. I can just pass it to a servant.’
After comforting herself like this, Qian Qing felt much better.
Qian Qing rode her horse and soon arrived at the King of Youshan’s Residence.
The guards at the door were all familiar with Qian Qing. They greeted her respectfully.
“Miss Qian Qing.”
She nodded and prepared to go in. However, just as she was about to cross the threshold, she thought of something and asked, “Is Young Marquis Luo in the residence now?”
“No, no.”
The two guards shook their heads, looking very serious.
‘Why are their expressions so strange?’
Qian Qing frowned, puzzled. She did not have to ruminate over this matter and quickly entered the residence.
‘In any case, Luo Xiuran is not in the residence so it’ll be easy for me.’
As soon as Qian Qing entered, Jiang Ying emerged from the shadows. He patted the shoulders of the two guards and said solemnly, “You’ve done very well. Go to the steward later and receive your rewards.”
“Thank you, Lord Jiang”
Before Feng Yili left the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, he had specifically asked Jiang Ying to stay behind. It was not only to protect Yu Yunxi, but it was to help
Yu Yunxi.
Jiang Ying stood with his hands on his back and looked at the sky before he sighed.
‘Unexpectedly, not only do I have to work hard to improve the Prince Regent and Princess Regent’s relationship, but I also have to improve Young Marquis Luo’s love life… It’s really not easy…’
On the other side, not long after Qian Qing entered the residence, she saw Feng Yili carrying the little bun over. She quickly went forward and bowed.
“Greetings, Your Royal Highness.”
“Mm, did the Eldest Princess send you here to look for me?” Feng Yili asked, slightly worried.
“Yes, the Eldest Princess is worried that there’ll be wicked people attending the banquet so she prepared herbs that can neutralize the effects of poisons for you and placed them in a sachet. The smell of the herbs can neutralize the effects of many poisons,” Qian Qing said as she handed the sachet over with both hands.
Feng Yili’s expression turned gentle when he heard this. He sighed softly and took the sachet as he murmured, “That’s very thoughtful of her.”
A certain little bun pouted and asked with a sigh, “Did Mother forget about
Qian Qing laughed. She was about to explain that these herbs were harmless to adults, but they were not good forchildren. That was why Yu Yunxi did not prepare it for the little bun. However, before she could speak, a familiar voice rang from afar.
“Yili, Junjin, why did you leave so quickly? You haven’t told me what I should wear to attract Qian Qing’s attention at the banquet tonight!” Qian Qing froze upon hearing Luo Xiuran’s voice.
‘Why is he here? I thought they said he wasn’t around?’
Qian Qing’s head ached immediately. She quickly said to Feng Yili, “Prince
Regent, I’ll take my leave first.”
With that, Qian Qing turned around and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she saw Luo Xiuran.
In an instant, both of them froze, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
The little bun sighed before he said, “Oh, what a coincidence. Aunt Qian Qing just arrived, and Uncle Xiuran came over as well.”
Luo Xiuran gave the little bun an approving look before he said, “Of course, your Aunt Qian Qing and I are fated.”
Then, Luo Xiuran leaned over to Qian Qing and looked at her pitifully with his beautiful eyes. It made people feel like patting his head. He asked, “Qian Qing, did you come to see me?”
Qian Qing held back her impulse to pat Luo Xiuran’s head and looked away. She quickly said, “I’m here to deliver something to the Prince Regent on the Eldest Princess’ behalf.”
Luo Xiuran looked crestfallen immediately. However, in the next moment, his eyes lit up again, and he said, “It’s fine. Since you’re here, I’ll take it that you
came here to look for me.”
The expressions of the three people in front of Luo Xiuran were really indescribable.
‘He’s really good at comforting himself.’
At this time, the little bun saw another sachet sticking out of Qian Qing’s sleeve. He jumped down from Feng Yili’s arms immediately and ran over to Qian Qing, asking, “Aunt Qian Qing, is that another sachet? Did Mother give this to me?”
Qian Qing hurriedly held onto the sachet and said anxiously, “No, Little Master, this isn’t from the Eldest Princess.’
Luo Xiuran looked at the sachet in Feng Yili’s hand before he looked at the sachet in Qian Qing’s hand. An idea appeared in his mind immediately. He looked at Qian Qing with burning eyes and asked, ‘If it’s not for Junjin, could it be that… you’re giving it to me, Qian Qing?”
Qian Qing: .
‘His guess is so accurate… But I don’t want to admit it!’
Qian Qing clenched her teeth and denied it. “No, it’s not.”
“Then it must be from Mother! I want it!” the little bun said as he tried to pull the sachet away.
Qian Qing wanted to cry but had no tears. If it were another thing, she would have lied and said it was given to the little bun from Yu Yunxi. However, the herbs were harmful to children. In the end, she explained, “Little Master, the herbs in the sachet are not suitable for children so the Eldest Princess didn’t prepare it for you.’
The little bun patted his chest and said with a grin, “I knew it. Mother won’t forget my share for no reason. As it turns out, the herbs are not good for me.” Luo Xiuran smiled widely and asked happily, “So it’s for me right?”
Qian Qing took a deep breath and said, “No, the Eldest Princess prepared it for you. She thought that you’d be helping the Prince Regent, and she was worried that you’d be targeted as well.”
‘With this explanation, the Prince Regent won’t be jealous, right? After all, the
Eldest Princess is doing it for his sake…’
At this moment, Qian Qing suddenly dropped the sachet.
The sachet with crooked embroidery was exposed before everyone’s eyes.
Feng Yili said faintly, “That’s definitely not embroidered by my Princess
Consort..”
