The Villain’s Diary – The Heroine’s Character Crumbles

r me and see if lunch is ready.”

“Fine.”

The purpose of seeing the imperial doctor had not been achieved, and He Yunxiao displayed an exaggerated look by drooping in dejection in front of his father.

He was simply a zombie itself.

As He Yuanhao raised his foot and prepared to kick the man, the downcast, He Yunxiao instantly regained his energy and immediately ran to the kitchen.

“Master, Xiao’er, he’s really been doing quite well lately.
At least he’s willing to talk to us too.”

He Yuanhao grunted.

“It should have been so.”

He then turned back to his room and rummaged through an iron box, opening it to reveal the very best tea leaves.

“Jingxian, you went to the palace today?”

Zhang Jingxian saw the tea and smiled, “Yes.
I have an appointment with some sisters to meet the Empress Dowager.
By the way, we will talk about the marriage between Xiao’er and Nanzhu.”

“That’s good.
When I was wounded in battle, I was fortunate to have the help of Imperial Doctor Wei.
The day before yesterday, I happened to get this tea, which is of good quality.
As you are going to the palace today, give this tea to Imperial Doctor Wei by the way.”

Zhang Jingxian took the tea, pursing her lips and smiling.
She knew that He Yuanhao could not face taking He Yunxiao to the palace, so she said thoughtfully, “Master, Xiao’er has not been to the palace for a long time, and I think the Empress Dowager would like to meet the son of the marquis.”

He Yuanhao waved his hand and said, “As you wish.”

Then he picked up his spear and went to the backyard to practice as usual.

After lunch, He Yunxiao accompanied his aunt into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Of course, before visiting the Empress Dowager, there was a ghostly gate to cross.

Auntie’s friends were all ladies of various families, and they were not like the young ladies in bud.
What’s more, they don’t care about the odd names that youngsters like He Yunxiao are naughty and mischievous enough to tune out.
They were more concerned with practical issues such as whether he was handsome, useful and whether he was a first son.

He Yunxiao is a big sister killer in this respect, exceeding all requirements, and there are not many beautiful women who wouldn’t like him.

Mid-untimely.
Just after two o’clock midday.

He Yunxiao and Zhang Jingxian boarded the Marquis’ carriage and rode leisurely towards the palace.

Generally, married women were not allowed to let other men on the carriage casually.
Some very sophisticated unmarried ladies would not share a carriage with someone of the opposite sex either.

However, He Yunxiao was theoretically the son of his aunt, so there were no such scruples.

On the carriage, Zhang Jingxian handed the tea to He Yunxiao and said, “Come with me to see the Empress Dowager first, and after you have met her, you can give this box of tea to Doctor Wei.”

When he heard the words “Doctor Wei”, He Yunxiao knew that he would be able to see the doctor, so he said, “Thank you, aunt, for interceding on my behalf.”

Zhang Jingxian covered her mouth and laughed lightly, “What interceding? It’s just that Master wants to send a gift to Doctor Wei and asked Auntie to do so.
Auntie couldn’t leave, so I asked you to help me.”

Hearing this, He Yunxiao suddenly said, “Auntie, the day before last, you applied medicine for me and used the ointment from the army.
It couldn’t have been the same one that old dad put on the table by hand, could it?”

This time it was Zhang Jingxian’s turn to be surprised.

“Xiao’er, I can’t see that you have the skills to be a sheriff.”

He Yunxiao grinned, “Aunt, I have a large number of skills.”

Zhang Jingxian laughed, “I will see later when you meet sisters, don’t ask my help.”

He Yunxiao recalled a painful lesson from the past and hurriedly raised his hands in surrender.

“Auntie must save me then!”

The carriage could not enter the palace and stopped outside the side gate.
After the guards at the gate had checked their identities, He Yunxiao and his wife walked into the most mysterious and majestic place in the whole of Qi.

In the side rooms on the outskirts of the palace where guests were received, there were already several gorgeously dressed, beautiful women gathered.

This was where the ladies had gathered to visit the Empress Dowager.

As soon as they entered, before He Yunxiao could react, his aunt Zhang Jingxian was pushed aside.

In his eyes, it was like a spring breeze passing through, and flowers were blooming.
