"Young Master!"
Lian'er pushed the door open and entered, "Why are you sitting alone by the window? It's so windy, you'll catch a cold!"
Huangfu Xian stared fixedly at the scenery outside the window, not responding to Lian'er's words.
Little Jing Kong was no longer in the room, and there was no trace of him ever being there.
Lian'er quickly walked over and closed the window, reaching across the table to shut the lattice.
"Don't close it." Huangfu Xian said.
Lian'er, with her hand halfway through closing the window, paused. She turned around and looked at her young master with confusion, "But it's cold."
"I'm not cold." Huangfu Xian said indifferently.
"Alright then, I'll close it just a little bit." Lian'er closed the window halfway.
Huangfu Xian looked out through the gap in the window, his expression indifferent and gloomy.
This wasn't the first day Lian'er had been by Princess Ning'an's side, so she was used to Huangfu Xian's current state. However, she couldn't help but feel a bit distressed.
She glanced at the dried blood on Huangfu Xian, refraining from asking how he got it, as she had already heard people say that her young master killed the Seventh Prince's dog.
She whispered, "Let this servant fetch water to wash your face, young master."
Lian'er quickly brought hot water, changing it twice just to wash his face. When she was washing Huangfu Xian's hands, she unexpectedly discovered that the back of Huangfu Xian's hand had been scratched, leaving a long cut.
Her complexion turned pale, "Young master, you're injured! Why didn't you say anything? Is this blood on your hand yours?"
Of course, not all the blood was Huangfu Xian's. That cut couldn't have bled so much.
Huangfu Xian impatiently furrowed his brows, "Annoying. Get out, I don't want to see you."
"I'll go inform the princess to summon an imperial physician." Lian'er said.
"I don't want to see an imperial physician." Huangfu Xian stated.
Worried, Lian'er said, "But..."
Huangfu Xian interrupted in a cold voice, "Stop the nonsense, get out!"
Lian'er could only shut her mouth in frustration.
Perhaps this wound had attracted Lian'er's attention because she examined Huangfu Xian again, and this time, she found faint finger marks on his cheek.
"Did the princess hit you?" Lian'er asked softly.
Huangfu Xian ignored her.
Lian'er sadly lowered her head, continuing to wipe the blood from Huangfu Xian's hands, face, and neck, "Young master, can't you avoid making the princess angry in the future? She also has a hard time on her own, and she..."
Huangfu Xian sneered, "Hard time? Does she find it hard to raise a useless son like me?"
Lian'er felt choked and was left speechless.
Afterward, Lian'er didn't dare say another word. She finished wiping Huangfu Xian's face, hands, and neck, and helped him change clothes.
However, Huangfu Xian only let her change the upper garment and insisted on changing the lower garment himself.
Since the incident when a servant was frightened by his crippled leg, he never let anyone change his trousers again.
When Princess Ning'an arrived, Huangfu Xian was already dressed, sitting quietly in the wheelchair by the window.
"I heard your hand is injured." Princess Ning'an said as she walked over and closed the window.
She wasn't like Lian'er, who had to follow Huangfu Xian's orders.
On the contrary, Huangfu Xian was her son, and it was him who should listen to her.
"Let me see." She said to Huangfu Xian.
Huangfu Xian didn't move.
Princess Ning'an took his left hand, "Such a long cut, why didn't you say earlier?"
Huangfu Xian turned his face away, ignoring her.
Princess Ning'an opened the jinchuang medicine she brought, dipped her fingertips in it, and applied some to his wound. After finishing, she proceeded to apply it to his swollen cheeks.
Huangfu Xian slightly tilted his head, avoiding her hand.
"You still don't like others touching you." Princess Ning'an said, her fingertips still on his cheek.
After applying the medicine to Huangfu Xian, Princess Ning'an said, "I'll come back to apply it again before bedtime. I'm going to pay my respects to Empress Dowager Zhuang. Do you want to come along?"
A smirk formed at the corner of Huangfu Xian’s lips, "Are you sure you want Empress Dowager Zhuang to see my face swollen by you?"
Princess Ning'an clenched her fingers and took a deep breath, then she placed the jinchuang medicine on the table and walked out.
……
Xiao Heng had official business to attend to, so after visiting Grandaunt, he left the Renshou Palace.
When he arrived, it was just him and Little Jing Kong, but later, Gu Jiao also came.
Little Jing Kong, now with JiaoJiao, had forgotten about his bad brother-in-law. He waved his little hand to send his bad brother-in-law away!
After that, he started causing trouble, removing the roof tiles of the Renshou Palace's chambers.
As he grew older, his energy became more vigorous, and his destructive power increased, but Gu Jiao would usually fix everything for him.
When Princess Ning'an entered Renshou Palace, she happened to see Gu Jiao repairing Little Jing Kong's swing.
Princess Ning'an had seen this swing many times but never inquired about its origin.
With Ning Wang’s two little princesses, it was natural for unknowing people to assume that the swing was prepared for the two little princesses.
"JiaoJiao, is my swing ready?" Little Jing Kong stood behind the swing and asked Gu Jiao with a cute expression.
Gu Jiao said, "Not so fast. The seat is worn, and the ropes need reinforcement."
Little Jing Kong thought for a moment, "Then I'll go find Grandaunt for now!"
Gu Jiao nodded, "Okay."
"Grandaunt! I'm here!" Little Jing Kong waved his little arms and happily went off.
Gu Jiao squatted down and earnestly repaired Little Jing Kong's swing, failing to notice Princess Ning'an at the entrance.
Princess Ning'an's steps paused, and she looked at Gu Jiao intently.
Since entering the palace, Princess Ning'an had returned to wearing luxurious attire befitting an imperial princess. Occasionally, she applied makeup as well, no longer resembling the plain and simple appearance she had in the borderlands.
Especially today, she had applied the same peony makeup on the scar on her left cheek as before.Raz P.'s Thoughts
