C1 The Beauty of the Night Is Bleak

The rain pats the bananas, the cold night, the shadows of the trees swaying. I sat in front of the table and tasted the Tie Guan Yin that Lyi Ann had brought over the day before. The fragrance of the tea filled the air, and the dark shade of the tea warmed my cold heart.

"Miss, Ninth Madame is here." Ruo Qing stood by the door with the curtain drawn and reported in a low voice.

"Please." Closing the tea bowl, she shook the teapot. Unknowingly, more than half of the pot of tea had already been drunk, "Ruo Qing, make another pot of new tea."

Ninth Madame was ranked ninth among her father's wives. That was why everyone in the Prime Minister Estate respected her as Ninth Madame. She was six years older than me but was a full generation older than me. In the Prime Minister Estate, she was the only one who protected her mother and was even more friendly with me.

"Yun Qier, I heard that you are sick. Are you alright?" A voice full of smiles is heard by my ear. With her around, this residence feels like home.

"I feel better. Ninth Madame, quickly sit down." I got up and personally poured the tea into the jade tea bowl. She is my distinguished guest and I will not neglect her.

"I heard that you were sick when I woke up early. I had no free time and only came to see you when I was late." Her eyes were full of apologetic politeness.

"Ninth Madame is too polite. I originally wanted Yun Qier to greet Ninth Madame." Although they were familiar with each other, I cannot be impolite. I bowed and gave a blessing.

"I hate those messy rules the most. They are so oppressive that people can't breathe. Yun Qier, did you catch a cold?" Ninth Madame took a sip of tea and inadvertently said it which made her feel comfortable.

I also do not like those rules.

"Right? Yesterday, when he went to the garden to admire the lotus, it happened to rain and get wet. It got cold. I thought that I would be fine after raising it for a day or two. "Ninth Madame doesn't need to worry about it anymore." My body is also sickly even without the rain. I have long gotten used to it.

You are already so old and do not know how to take care of yourself. If your mother knew, she would have to worry again. " When my mother is not in the residence, Ninth Madame will take care of me like a mother or an elder sister. Whatever I eat or wear will never leave me behind.

"Please don't tell my mother." I know that she often goes to the temple to pray for blessings. That is where my mother stays. I don't want my mother to worry about me anymore. I don't want my mother to care about these mundane matters.

"Alright. I won't say it, but you have to listen to me and obediently take your medicine."

"Yes, sir." I smiled faintly. There was no reason for me to not accept such good intentions.

"I brought some medicine. You let the girls fry it and take it. Only then will it be better. The illness needs to be treated. You can't force yourself to do so."

"Thank you, Ninth Madame." I bowed to express my gratitude.

"Don't thank me so early. I still have something to ask of you?"

"Look at what Madam is saying. What is there to ask for? What can Yun Qier do for you? If she can do it, she will definitely do her best." They had known each other for six years. Ever since Ninth Madame entered the residence, she had never begged me for anything. Thinking about it, this must be an extremely important matter. My heart is perturbed. I don't know if I really have the ability to help her.

"In a few days, my family will be coming. My mother always misses me, so she sent a servant who came to deliver a message and said that she wants a portrait of me. " I thought about it. Yun Qier's style is the best. You see, I'll leave this envoy to you. What do you think? "

I smiled," I'll accept all of this. Thank you, Ninth Madame. "

I spent most of my time in Lou Mansion. When I rose and fell, I invited you to read books. Female red, painting, and playing the zither were my ways to pass my leisure time. However, they were all useless. Now that it was my first time using them, I thought in my heart, I must draw the best. I must make Ninth Madame happy and also make Ninth Madame's family happy.

"Then do you want me to cooperate?" Ninth Madame's face was full of happiness. Her mood came.
