He stood by the bed, looming over her like a night deity, his stare profound and inscrutable. “Close your eyes!”

Su Xiaoxiao pouted as she closed her eyes to sleep.  

Wei Ting leaned down, held her face with one hand, and kissed her forehead.  

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes.  

Wei Ting explained aloofly, “It’s what couples are supposed to do.”  

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled: “Wei Ting, this is how I kiss Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu too. If you really want to kiss me.…..”  

Wei Ting said coldly, “Don’t push your luck!”  

“Oh.” 

Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and turned over, facing the three little ones sleeping beside her.

“.…..Next time.”

After speaking, Wei Ting left with an aloof expression.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her kissed forehead, then her soft lips.

“Next time.….. Will he kiss me here?”

“And after that… will we go all the way?”

“Mom.”

Xiaohu sat up drowsily.

“What’s wrong?” 

Su Xiaoxiao asked him.

“Pee pee.” Xiaohu said.

Su Xiaoxiao carried Xiaohu to the backyard to pee.

“Mom, why are you smiling?” Xiaohu asked, snuggled in Su Xiaoxiao’s arms.

“The big trotters… are delicious.”

“Xiaofu (Xiaohu) wants to eat too.”

That night, in his dreams, Xiaohu held onto Dahu’s little foot and dreamed that he gnawed on pig trotters all night.

Meanwhile, in the Kunning Palace, Princess Jingning slept until the next morning. 

When she woke up, she was bewildered by the scene before her.

What had happened?

Why were there so many people in her bedchamber?

And why were they all kneeling on the floor?

Her personal maid, Taozhi, had been keeping an eye on her. 

Overjoyed to see her awake, she cried out, “Princess, you’re finally awake!”

Princess Jingning looked bewilderedly at the room full of palace maids and eunuchs. 

“What’s going on?”  

Taozhi crawled forward on her knees, rising only when she reached the bedside to help Princess Jingning sit up. 

“Your Highness, you’ve been unconscious for so long, you scared us to death!”  

“Unconscious?” 

Princess Jingning was very surprised.  

She didn’t feel like she had been unconscious, she had just been asleep, hadn’t she?  

“What time is it?” She asked.  

“It’s Chenshi*.” Taozhi replied tearfully.  

*Chenshi : around 7 – 9 AM. 

“Chenshi……” 

Princess Jingning was startled. 

“It’s already morning?”  

She distinctly remembered it was just an afternoon nap…  

Taozhi sobbed, “You’ve been unconscious for a full day and night. We tried everything to wake you, but you wouldn’t wake up. Her Majesty Empress summoned the imperial doctor, who performed acupuncture, but you still remained unconscious…”  

“Ahem!”

Refusing to admit she had slept like a log, Princess Jingning cleared her throat and said with a serious expression, “I’m awake now and fine. Everyone may rise.”  

Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief as they stood up.  

Taozhi said, “I’ll go inform Her Majesty Empress that you’re safe. She’s been worried all night… Also, His Majesty and the Third Prince have also come to see you.”  

Half an hour later, Aunt Mei from the Empress’s palace arrived, followed by an imperial doctor.  

The doctor checked Princess Jingning’s pulse and said, “Her Highness is no longer in danger.”  

Aunt Mei had the palace attendants escort the doctor out.  

Princess Jingning said, “Open all the windows. It’s too dark here.”

The palace attendants removed the screen and propped open the latticed window.  

Taozhi brought hot water, and Aunt Mei personally wrung out a cloth to wipe Princess Jingning’s face.  

Before the cloth even touched her skin, Aunt Mei let out a surprised sound.  

“Your Highness, your face……”  

“What’s wrong with my face?” 

Princess Jingning’s heart tightened, had it gotten worse?  

“Taozhi! Bring me a mirror!” 

She ordered.  

Taozhi handed her a small peachwood mirror.  

Princess Jingning looked into it and gasped softly. 

“My face……”  

Just yesterday, it had been covered in acne, some even pus-filled, but today, much of it had subsided.  

Her face no longer looked frightening at all.  

“Did you apply Doctor Hu’s ointment?” 

Aunt Mei asked.  

Taozhi nodded repeatedly. 

“Yes, Aunt Mei!”  

Aunt Mei smiled knowingly. “Doctor Hu’s medical skills never disappoint.”  

Princess Jingning said, “It wasn’t Doctor Hu.”  

She remembered clearly that after applying Doctor Hu’s ointment, it had felt cool for only a short while before the pain and itching returned.  

She didn’t feel much better until she applied the ointment given to her by a classmate.

And because it was so relaxing, she slept comfortably all night.
