Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 45

Exactly the same handsome face, exactly the same deep magnetic voice.

It was Ling Qianyi!

Song Miaomiao walked towards the kneeling man step by step, speechless in shock.

The Princess did not speak for a long time, and the man was not allowed to look directly at Her Highness because of etiquette. He lowered his head slightly, and could only see the Princess’s figure getting closer to him.

Yan Yu thought that Song Miaomiao wanted to take the shuttlecock. So she immediately took the shuttlecock from the man and presented it to her, “Princess.”

Song Miaomiao didn’t reach out to catch the shuttlecock. She just stared blankly at the kneeling man, then said, “You…what’s your name?”

“Princess, this official’s name is Yi Qing.”

Sure enough, he was the male lead.

After being in two worlds, he was still the same, his appearance had not changed at all. However, he had become the son of the Hussar General and the chief guard of the palace, Yi Qing.

His life experience had changed, his background had changed, and the stories that happened had also changed. In this world, he had no family feud, and he didn’t have a mute friend who grew up with him. Instead, his childhood sweetheart was Gu Jiaren.

Song Miaomiao had always believed that people’s characters largely depended on their own background and the events they had experienced. It was the accumulation of these things and backgrounds that formed a person and determined the differences between people.

The background had changed, things had changed, so from Ling Qianyi to Yi Qing, he had also changed.

From being mute to Princess Changrou, she had also changed.

Song Miaomiao felt a little emotional, but she couldn’t tell what kind of feeling it was.

But seeing an acquaintance again made her happy.

“Princess.” Yan Yu saw that the princess couldn’t take her eyes off Yi Qing and looked at him with a smile on her lips, so she couldn’t help reminding her.

Song Miaomiao came back to her senses and said, “Get up quickly.”

Yi Qing stood up neatly.

He was still a head taller than herself.

When Yi Qing saw her, he knelt down and called her Princess again. Princess Changrou must have met Yi Qing face to face before, but she probably didn’t take it to heart at that time.

“You…”

As soon as Song Miaomiao opened her mouth, she immediately covered her mouth because she accidentally hiccupped.

Not one hiccup, but many hiccups, a series of hiccups.

She ate too much at noon that day, and she kept hiccupping.

The strangeness in Song Miaomiao’s heart and the warmth of the long-lost reunion across two worlds were immediately shattered by this little accident.

“I’m leaving,” Song Miaomiao said quickly, taking advantage of the gap between the two hiccups.

Song Miaomiao held her breath, covered her mouth, and ran away immediately, ignoring Yi Qing who was behind her.

Damn, it was so embarrassing.

Song Miaomiao ran all the way back to her courtyard, drank a big mouthful of tea, and soaked her throat little by little.

This method, combined with holding her breath, could effectively relieve hiccups.

Although the dishes were good, she shouldn’t eat too much.

In the evening, under Song Miaomiao’s strong request, the Emperor agreed to reduce her meal by half. So there were still thirty-two dishes, which would be enough for twenty or thirty people in modern times. Well, the productivity of feudal society was obviously lower than that of modern society, and it was such a waste.

Originally, Song Miaomiao insisted on having only two dishes and one soup, at most four dishes and one soup, which was already a big meal for her, okay? But the Emperor resolutely refused, continuously asking her if she had been wronged. Song Miaomiao explained in various ways, and finally the Emperor had no choice but to cut the dishes in half. As he left, he rewarded her with a box of gold and silver jewelry.

But generally speaking, as a favored princess, it felt really good to be pampered.

After finishing the meals, Song Miaomiao started to prepare for another most important event.

She needed to meet the male lead. The next step was to think about how to complete the task and fall from the tree into the male lead’s arms.

The coordinates of the male lead she exchanged in the last mission were no longer feasible in the new world. As a Princess, her scope of activities was not large. The Imperial Palace was the ancient model of the former court and the later court. The south was where the Emperor handled the early court political council. The Princess was not allowed to trespass there. To the north was the harem, and that was the scope of the Princess’s activities.

Song Miaomiao could only look for opportunities to meet Yi Qing in the harem and complete the task.

Song Miaomiao started to take a walk in the Imperial Garden every day. On one hand, for the purpose of exercising, and on the other hand, to explore the Imperial Garden.

Song Miaomiao didn’t have any points, and she couldn’t purchase Yi Qing’s coordinates.She could only rely on sitting and waiting for Yi Qing.

But she couldn’t just wander around the Imperial Garden everyday waiting for Yi Qing to appear.

Yi Qing had appeared there the day before, so that was finally a clue, at least there were traces of his activities there.

Song Miaomiao had almost arrived according to the time of the previous day. So she waited at the gazebo, but as expected, she was caught again.

Yi Qing, the head of the guards, appeared again, “This minister sees the princess.”

Song Miaomiao said, “No need to be too polite.”

“Yes.” 

At that moment, Yan Yu came over with a bowl of steaming black medicine, saying, “Princess, your medicine is ready.”

“Medicine? What kind of medicine?” Song Miaomiao was puzzled.

Yan Yu said, “His Majesty heard that you had continuous hiccups yesterday, so he specially summoned Imperial Physician He to make this bowl of medicine for you.”

Song Miaomiao: …

She blushed, wishing the matter of hiccups hadn’t been mentioned. She had forgotten all about it.

By the way, could this traditional Chinese medicine really cure hiccups? The hiccups were just because she ate too much too quickly. She hadn’t eaten so much that day, so it was unnecessary.

“I’m fine now, I don’t need to drink it.”
