Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 80

Then how did he make her cry?

Barbarian Yan pondered for a while before understanding struck!

After snapping out of it, he saw that the Jing Prince's apathetic expression contained a hint of anger from embarrassment.

"Hehehehehe." Barbarian Yan laughed drily and spoke quietly: "Then how did she end up crying? Could it be that you ended up in the wrong place?"

This barbaric fellow's thoughts were always different from those of normal people. His fellow enthusiast, the scholarly looking Old Bull would probably understand his train of thought. Unfortunately, the person in front of him was the Jing Prince.

"What?"

Barbarian Yan coughed and didn't dare expand the Jing Prince's knowledge.

"Why did she cry? Did she say anything?"

Barbarian Yan was a simple man. There was no need to play guessing games during this exchange.

The Jing Prince thought for a while, "She said it hurts." He paused, and decided not to say anything about it being swollen.

"Oh—–" Barbarian Yan nodded his head in understanding. "I understand. Highness, your skills were too lacking and ended up making her cry."

"How do I not make her cry?"

Barbarian Yan smiled vulgarly, "Come, come, come. Let me tell you....."

........

The original hour of training was dragged on for almost two hours before it ended.

As he left, the Jing Prince brought the books from Barbarian Yan's private collection with him. Because he had come with the intent to ask for advice, the Jing Prince had sent Eunuch Fu away. Otherwise, these books would have been hard to take back.

How the Jing Prince will manage to avoid Eunuch Fu while he studied these books won't be discussed in detail at this time.

Over on Xiao Hua's side, she had finally finished making the clothing for Nana He.

The light purple red colored jacket embroidered with the five blessings surrounding the character for "age". It was accompanied by an eight treasures patterned silver grey traditional skirt. The colors weren't too dark but also weren't too garish. After all, Nana He was quite old. Xiao Hua didn't know how to do the five blessings embroidery and had Ding Xiang help. The rest was all done by Xiao Hua herself.

The clothes were done, and Xiao Hua had Ding Xiang bring it to the Hall of Splendor when she stopped by during lunch for the jar of soup.

It wasn't the first time Ding Xiang went to the Hall of Splendor for the soup. As she arrived at the door, someone naturally informed the small kitchen to bring out the soup.

Every time it was someone called Auntie Meng who brought the soup out. Ding Xiang gave her thanks, received the soup and handed over the packaged clothes to Auntie Meng.

"Auntie, these clothes were made by our madam for Nana He. Could I trouble you to hand it to her?"

Auntie Meng was a little surprised but she didn't say anything. She nodded and handed the package over to one of the low-ranked eunuchs guarding the door.

The Hall of Splendor's rules were very strict. Everything coming in and out needed to be inspected.

That low-ranked eunuch received the package in an experienced manner, heaped a bunch of smiles on his face and said "pardon my offense" before opening it and lightly examining the clothes.

Who in the Hall of Splendor didn't know Nana He was an old hand. Even Grandpa Fu had to call her auntie. Who didn't know that their Hall of Splendor produced a Madam Hua, who was his highness's most favored.

Outsiders wouldn't understand, but those who had served in the Hall of Splendor for some years naturally knew how favored Madam Hua was. She had hooked his highness, who only went to the rear court a couple times a year in the past, into going countless times in a month.

Both of them couldn't be offended, but rules were rules. The low-ranked eunuch could only ask for forgiveness and swiftly conducted his inspection.

"What are you guys doing?"

Eunuch Fu saw the few people standing at the doors from far away. He walked over and asked.

The one walking in front of him was naturally the Jing Prince.

The Jing Prince wore a sapphire blue light jacket today, and underneath was a silver pattern embroidered white robe. He looked very tall and confident, his pupils slightly dark and his expression apathetic as usual.

Ding Xiang gave the Jing Prince and Eunuch Fu a salute before responding: "Answering General Manager Fu's question: madam made the small kitchen's Nana He a set of clothing and asked this servant to bring it over today."

The Jing Prince glanced at the light purple red clothing that had been an eyesore over the last few days and walked away.

Eunuch Fu nodded his head and followed behind without saying anything else.

Ding Xiang fetched the food and returned. After laying out the dishes, she reported what had occurred. Xiao Hua listened and didn't think too much about it.

In the Hall of Splendor's small kitchen.

Nana He held the clothing Xiao Hua made, her face full of smiles.

"That lass still has this Nana in her heart." She seemed hesitant to part with it as she stroked the clothes in her hand. She felt it was good no matter how she looked at it.

The strict Auntie Meng let out a rare smile, "Don't you also keep her in your mind?"

"She's pleasant to my eyes and I feel she's a rare one. She clearly doesn't have the intention but was continuously pushed by Eunuch Fu from behind. She was poisoned and then suffered grievances before finally getting a status. Now this situation ended up occurring...."

Saying this, Nana He sighed. She naturally was aware of what the Jing Consort had done.

Auntie Meng said comfortingly: "It was a blessing in disguise. She was lucky after all, unlike those two madams. She also has you here to help her adjust as well as Doctor Hu's treatment. It won't take much longer."

"It's best if that were the case."
