Xu was said to be the emperors favorite, so it was understandable that the emperor would be involved.
But then, the action of letting won who arent even his favorites enter the Hundred Blossom Palace is quite a mystery too, right.
However, Yui i knew it would be tactless if she were to ask ifthat peson isnt really a favorite of the emperor, right?, so she tried to rephrase it.
Then, werent the people beco suspicious of why the Emperor suddenly allowed Xus entry into the palace? For example, the Empress did, right?
Yeah, of course that happened.
Libin replied to Yui is query.
In the beginning, various speculations, like whether she had a grasp of the emperors weakness or perhaps she was his lover, flew everywhere. However, all of those shallow misconceptions vanished the mont Xu played the lute.
Yui i was taken back at Libins words.
Does that an Xus music erased all their misgivings against her?
Thats right.
Libin nodded when Yui i tried to confirm.
What the, isnt she amazing, then!?
So it turned out that the courtesan at the dumping site was a far more excellent musician than Yui i imagined.
Her desire to hear her play was fanned further because of this.
By the way, Libin, have you ever heard her play the lute?
Why of course.
Libin replied to Yui i.
Xu also appeared during the banquets held by the Crown Prince, after all. Im not really interested in music and stuff like that; regardless, even I would agree if sobody told that this right here is the sound of the heavenly lute.
She was that great!?
Yui i was even more shocked when Libin said that, knowing how tight-lipped this guy was when it cos to praising others.
Nevertheless, she really stood under the lilight after being summoned in the emperors and the crown princes palaces, so it was a given that the other palaces would want to summon her too. So in reality, based on Libins story, Xu should have been very busy.
Hmmm, standing out is a really difficult thing, yes?
Youre right. Banquets in the evening, practice during the day now that I think about it, did she even have ti to sleep?
Yui i was scrunching her brows as she imagined Xus day-to-day life, and even Libin chid in.
In that case, her anxiety levels must have been high because of her popularity.
Stress was also a factor that influenced lots of illnesses, and arthritis was no exception.
Xu already had all the requirents needed to worsen arthritis, naly stress and smoking.
Hmm, changing the environnt as part of the dical treatnt of the root cause isnt really plausible now, I guess?
It would be extrely difficult for a woman living in the Hundred Blossom Palace to change her circumstances.
Yui i was arbitrarily getting worried about Xu. Libin turned his sharp gaze towards her, his brows frowning.
I just want to ask, Yui i, why are you so fixated on Xu, fervently worrying about her to this extent?
Why, you ask?
Yui i blankly stared back at him.
Of course its bothering , so it cant be helped that Im getting anxious about her, right?
Yui i plainly replied.
What other reason must be there, then.
Ah! Dont tell , Libin, are you the type of person who thinks that courtesans dont need help!?
Yui i pouted while scrunching her brows because she rembered Xus self-deprecation.
No, thats not it.
Libin imdiately refuted it, but he looked worried.
You see, all the people that you helped so far were grateful to you, but will that be the sa for Xu, given that she doesnt want any help? She might even curse you for being a busybody, you know?
Libin bitterly said.
Oh, I see, so hes concerned about because of that.
However, Yui i was already fully aware about that.
So what if she doesnt thank for helping her? At this point, its not for Xus sake that Im doing this. My own self-satisfaction is far more important than that! Besides, kindness is all about self satisfaction, after all.
For Yui i, as long as she could keep a healthy ntal state with a clear mind, and also be able to eat well, then that was all that mattered.
At the very least, she was not so saint who wants to help all the worried people in the world; her actions were not based on the spirit of benevolence and service.
T/N: Self-love, Yui i! Good thing about her loving herself is that it doesnt equate to being oblivious to the people outside her own bubble, and it has the side benefits of helping others. XD
