The conversation ended, and Yui i left. Inside the room, Ming Xian was drinking tea that the lady-in-waiting freshly brewed.
Libin, also known as Li Yong, was not present because he sent Yui i off.
Really, Im totally caught by surprise every ti I see that girl. Shes like a little storm.
Ming Xian leaned back in the chair and exhaled deeply.
Isnt it great that shes sprightly?
The chuckling lady-in-waiting who said that as she brewed the tea for Ming Xian was called Wang Xiuling. She was the wet nurse of Ming Xian and the mother of Li Yong. Ming Xians mother beca depressed due to the various harassnt from the empress dowager, so she secluded herself in her own palace. In the midst of these, Xiuling beca the person who treated him with a mothers warmth. Therefore, Ming Xian couldnt put on airs in front of her ever since.
Xiuling, what did you think of Yui i?
Xiuling answered Ming Xians question after contemplating it for a while.
She is quite a clever young lady. It seems that she had adapted well in this place even though she had just arrived.
Indeed. According to Li Yong, that girl seed to be always having fun.
It was said that Yui i was harassed daily by the senior court ladies who regarded her as an enemy, but she remained completely unaffected.
Contrary to that, she beca friends with the people who gave her snacks, and her appearance while stuffing her cheeks with manju seed to show that she was enjoying life in the Inner Palace.
In fact, her personality seems cheeky, no?
Ming Xian softly remarked, and Xiuling replied as she served the newly brewed tea.
There are traces of Lady Zhang in her visage, but she seems to be more temperantal than her, I suppose.
Really, who did she take after?
Yui is parents shouldnt have that kind of personality.
Her mother, Lady Zhang, was kind and too timid to live in the Inner Palace.
Rather than that, Yui i did not inherit her mothers temperant but she had a strong personality, ready to rush when she saw a weak person.
Had Yui i been able to live as a princess, she would have been a trendous help to Ming Xian.
Really, what a waste to keep her as a housekeeper.
While Ming Xian lanted her talent, he also thought about a different outco.
If Yui i was a princess, she would not be a court lady in the Inner Palace. There was a high probability that Yu Xiu, who was saved by her, perished. With that consideration, it could be said that it was a good thing that Yui i was a court lady
And just as she helped Yu Xiu at that ti, she would surely help Youren.
It was Ming Xians role to protect Yui i from the hands of the empress dowager.
This ti, I will protect that girl.
When Ming Xian expressed his resolve, Xiuling bowed deeply.
We will obey your desires, Your Highness.
Ming Xian was grateful and at the sa ti apologetic towards Xiuling and the rest who would faithfully follow him anywhere.
Because of that, Li Yong had to work harder, though.
The empress dowager would be provoked If Ming Xian made a move himself.
Therefore, the only one he could confidently entrust Yui i to was Li Yong.
However, he felt pained to increase Li Yongs workload since he was already masquerading as a eunuch on top of being an imperial guard.
Xiuling smiled sweetly at Ming Xians distress.
Being useful to Your Highness is that childs happiness. Please use him to your hearts content. No need to worry, my son is not one to be exhausted with this much.
Ming Xian thought the way she smiled was like a lion dropping a child in the valley.
Achoo!
Libin was walking in front of Yui i as he sent her off when he suddenly sneezed.
Do you have a cold, Libin?
No, I dont. I feel like soone is talking about behind my back.
Libin replied to Yui is question as his nose itched.
Usually, soone is badmouthing you during those tis.
Libin puckered his face while Yui i teasingly told him about that common belief.
Im sure its my mother.
Yui i did not hear him whisper, but in a sense, the feelings got through due to their mother and child bond.
