After taking the medicine, Fengyin spoke to her personal maid about dietary restrictions and left a small Jade Porcelain Bottle for the maid to sprinkle during her bath to dispel the coldness within her body. Then, she bid farewell to Ji Yuyan and walked out of the Listening Rain Pavilion.
Lin Ke and Qiao'er led the way with lanterns, followed by four or five maids, along with two young boys holding torches behind them.
"Is there nothing you want to say to me?" Hibiscus asked softly.
"I think all the tunes you played were beautiful," she replied, even though she didn't fully understand them.
His youthful charm reminded me of blooming peach blossoms. Only young men would treat the women they admired with such thoughtfulness and tenderness. As time progressed, stories would never rewind. That innocence was truly precious.
They arrived at Windward Pavilion.
"You all go in first and hold the lanterns; I have something to discuss with the young lady," Hibiscus waved his hand, dismissing the servants.
Fengyin looked at Hibiscus in confusion; now she could meet his gaze and realized he was indeed handsome.
Hibiscus said nothing but simply pulled her into his embrace. Wasn't that direct enough? Didn't he have something to say?
He didn't hold her tightly, but they could feel each other's warmth. Fengyin's eyelashes fluttered slightly; feeling a bit flustered, she still didn't push away her benefactor. Her heart raced chaotically for a moment.
Hibiscus sighed lightly; it was the moonlight and her beauty that made him so impulsive. He finally succeeded and couldn't help but smile.
Driven by emotion but restrained by propriety, as was customary in ancient times, after a while of holding each other, they stood facing each other with flushed cheeks.
Then Lin Ke ran over from a distance, "Young Master, it's time to go back."
Hibiscus watched as Fengyin lightly floated into the Listening Rain Pavilion before he turned and left into the night.
The rivers and mountains are so beautiful, attracting countless heroes to bow down;
The beauties are so charming that heroes would forsake even their territories;
With a single glance and a word, they are so tender and enchanting;
No territory can compare to the smile of a beautiful woman.
"Miss, look over here. This was sent by the young master this morning; you will definitely look good in it." After helping Fengyin get up and wash up, Qiao'er pointed to the clothes displayed in her hands.
It was a long dress with a crimson and white floral pattern. Not only was it beautiful, but it also captivated anyone who looked at it. The delicate flowers and fluttering butterflies created a stunning scene.
Hibiscus had an extraordinary eye; he could tell at a glance what kind of shoes she wore. After their deep embrace last night, he certainly knew her size.
"It's truly beautiful," Qiao'er exclaimed. The garment was already breathtaking, and with this addition, it was simply unparalleled.
Seeing that Fengyin had taken off the dress,
"Miss, what are you doing?"
Fengyin smiled, "It's too beautiful; I can't bear to wear it. I'll just keep it away."
Qiao'er put the dress away, helped Fengyin tidy her hair, and brought over a piece of white gauze.
"Miss, have you informed the kitchen to serve the meal?"
"We should go to Listening Rain Pavilion; seeing the doctor is the most important thing."
She was completely lost here, only Qiao'er could guide her.
"Are you hungry?"
"In response to the young lady, no."
"Then let's go."
After checking on Ji Yuyan and asking about her condition, taking her pulse, and dining together, Fengyin went to the kitchen to prepare medicine.
For three consecutive days, it was the same; Hibiscus did not appear again. Although Fengyin felt anxious and hopeful, she remained focused on treating Ji Yuyan. Eventually, Ji Yuyan's condition improved significantly; she no longer suffered from excessive sleepiness and often enjoyed the scenery in the garden, frequently visiting the kitchen to chat with Fengyin.
"The Lantern Festival is approaching again. Jin'er has gone to supervise at the workshop. Every year at this time, the workshop has to make many lanterns. The busier it gets, the more chaotic it becomes. I went to check on various workshops yesterday during my afternoon break. You must have been tired these days, so I didn't wake you," Ji Yuyan said, perhaps tired from standing in the kitchen, and then had her maid assist her as she left.
At the door, she turned back and said, "During the Lantern Festival, I'll ask Jin'er to take you to see it."
Fengyin nodded and watched her leave. Then she squatted down and stared blankly at the stove.
A few more days passed, and Ji Yuyan's health had nearly recovered. The Lantern Festival arrived, and during these days, Ji Yuyan kept holding Fengyin's hand to choose outfits for going out with Master Mu. Eventually, she even thought about going out to shop because Fengyin mentioned that it would take a few more days for her to fully recover from her illness, so she gave up on that idea.
On the day of the Lantern Festival.
"Miss, did you sleep well?"
"Very well, thank you. How about you?"
"Thank you for your concern; Qiao'er slept well." After Fengyin finished washing up, she continued, "Last night, the young master came by. He saw that you were already asleep and sat outside for a while before leaving. Today is the Lantern Festival, so you should wear the outfit that the young master gifted you; it will look beautiful. Last time you asked me to put it away without wearing it; I specially scented it with your favorite lily petals. Today, the young master will take you out to enjoy the Lantern Festival, and that outfit is very fitting."
"Do you want to wear it?" She was reluctant to put it on.
"Let's wear it tonight," Fengyin said softly. "I still need to go to the kitchen to brew medicine, and I don't want to get it dirty."
Qiao'er smiled and put the clothes away.
"Miss, the steward over there told me to go early in the morning to pick up the items sent from my hometown."
"You can go; I can manage by myself."
"Should I let Ling'er take you?"
Fengyin shook her head. "It's fine."
In the morning, with the fresh breeze, Fengyin walked along the path to Listening Rain Pavilion. Everywhere she looked, there were servants carrying food boxes or gardeners busy pruning branches and leaves, as well as little maids cleaning the courtyard. After walking less than halfway, she arrived at Mu Family's Drunken Heart Lake and saw a Jin Yi Man at Heart of the Lake Pavilion. He was leaning against a pillar with one hand on his waist and abdomen, his complexion suddenly pale. From a distance, she couldn't see clearly, but as she got closer, she noticed that the young Jin Yi Man was gritting his teeth and seemed to be fainting, so she approached him.
He bent down, just about her height. She looked at him and saw that beads of sweat were forming on his forehead; one could imagine how much pain he was in.
"Where do you feel unwell?" Observing him closely, although his face was pale, there were no signs of poisoning; he should just be unwell.
It seemed that he had noticed the uninvited girl. Although he was in too much pain to speak, his eyes were icy cold, keeping her at a distance. Fengyin didn't mind his attitude; she gently lifted his eyelid to take a look.
He had never been treated this way before; even his personal doctor could only ask about his condition from five steps away and take his pulse from a distance. This maidservant, whose appearance he couldn't discern, dared to examine him so closely—was she tired of living? The coldness in his eyes seemed like it could pierce through her. Fengyin pretended not to see it and spoke softly, "Young Master, your illness is uncomfortable but not difficult to treat. It's just a stomach ailment; once you recover and eat regularly three times a day, you won't have to suffer like this again."
