Early in the morning, Caidie came to the bedroom to do needlework and wait for Su Lingyue to get up.

She looked at the embroidered heart-shaped dress with satisfaction. On the pink double-layer fabric, there was a pink and white peony, and two light yellow butterflies were flying vividly.

After finishing the final touches, Caiyi stood up, opened the door and looked out. It was almost noon, but Su Lingyue had not gotten up yet. She slept even later than Xiao Yu did when he was in the mansion.

If you sleep too long, you may not be able to fall asleep at night.

Thinking of this, Caiyi walked lightly to the bedside and lifted the double-layer soft lotus-colored gauze curtain.

Under the pink quilt, Su Lingyue curled up into a ball, holding another pillow on the bed in her arms, but the tears in the corners of her eyes stained a corner of the pillow.

Su Lingyue slowly opened her eyes, her thick and curly eyelashes were wet.

"Miss." Caiyi called softly and raised her hand to brush away the black hair that was scattered in front of her.

Su Lingyue's expression froze for a while before she choked up and said, "Caiyi, I miss him."

In the first two days, she tried hard to ignore the strangeness of Xiao Yu not being around. However, after two days, she could no longer control her heart, and her longing for him flooded over her like a tide.

She couldn't help but think of his slightly cool big hands, his strong embrace, his gentle words and the smell of Xiao Yu.

Caiyi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from Su Lingyue's eyes, and said softly: "Miss, the prince will only be away for two months and will be back soon, yes."

Su Lingyue buried her face in the pillow in her arms and sniffed the smell deeply. After a "hmm", she whispered, "I know, but he's gone suddenly, and my heart feels empty, stuffy and painful, and I want to cry."

Caiyi smiled gently and said, "Since the prince has stolen Miss's heart, I will fill it up again, okay?"

"How to fill it out?" Su Lingyue looked up at Caiyi and sniffed.

Caiyi pretended to be mysterious, "Of course this has to be kept secret, but I think the lady will be happy."

Hearing her say this, Su Lingyue's curiosity was immediately aroused, and she felt itchy inside.

Su Lingyue's eyes turned, and after thinking for a while, she still couldn't think of anything that Caiyi would do to make her happy, so she lifted the quilt and sat up, and she became more energetic, "Please help me dress up, I'm hungry."

Caiyi smiled softly, "Okay, I'll ask someone to bring me some water to wash up."

When Su Lingyue was having breakfast, Caidie and Luzhu were serving her. Until she finished her breakfast, Caiyi was still nowhere to be seen.

She was aroused by Caiyi's words and couldn't help but ask Caidie curiously, "Where is Caiyi? She said she wanted to make me happy, why is she gone?"

Caidie opened her innocent eyes and shook her head, "I don't know, my sister said she had something to do and asked me to serve the young lady, but she went away."

Luzhu said as she collected the dishes, "I asked that too, and Sister Caiyi just smiled and said nothing."

After hearing what they said, Su Lingyue became even more impatient and hoped that Caiyi would come back soon.

Su Lingyue came to the hall of Furong Pavilion, and Li Jing was already waiting there.

Seeing her closing her eyes to rest, Su Lingyue's eyes lit up, and she tiptoed up to her without making any sound.

Su Lingyue waved her little hand in front of Li Jing, but Li Jing still had her eyes closed and didn't notice.

Feeling playful, Su Lingyue reached out to grab the long sword leaning against the side.

She has been curious about this sword for a long time.

The sword is about ten inches long, with a brown wooden scabbard with a pink and white printed pattern in the middle. The two sides are wrapped in silver with some carvings on the silver, which is very elegant.

Su Lingyue grasped the scabbard, but when she raised her hand she found that the sword was extremely heavy. She couldn't even lift it with one hand, and had to use both hands to barely lift the sword.

"Princess, is it fun?"

Li Jing's voice suddenly came, and Su Lingyue loosened her grip in fear. Before the sword fell to the ground, Li Jing raised her foot and lightly picked it up, caught it with her hand, and put the sword back to its original position.

Su Lingyue turned her head to look at Li Jing, pursing her lips with a guilty look on her face.

Seeing that Li Jing was just looking at her calmly as usual, Su Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, pretending that nothing had happened, and sat down on the other side of the tea table, smiling: "Ah Jing is really amazing, I usually see you pick it up easily, I thought it was very light, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy!"

Li Jing sat up straight, glanced at her and said, "Princess, please don't touch these. Your thin arms and legs are only suitable for holding embroidery needles."

Su Lingyue was not convinced when she heard this, "I can also use silver needles and feel the pulse."

She looked at Li Jing with a happy face, "Ah Jing, let me feel your pulse, let me see the difference between women who practice martial arts and those of us who don't."

Li Jing lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Yeah." Then she extended her wrist.

Su Lingyue raised her hand and put it on Li Jing's wrist through her wide sleeves.

Unlike Su Lingyue's fair and soft fingers, Li Jing's hands were slender, a little wheat-colored, with a thin layer of calluses on her palms and fingers.

After a while, Su Lingyue's eyes flashed with surprise. She looked at Li Jing with great admiration and sighed, "As expected of a martial artist, she doesn't even have the common false fire in this season."

Li Jing raised her chin, retracted her hand, and slightly curled her lips and said, "I practice sword every day to strengthen my body. If Princess wants to strengthen her body, I can teach you a set of Eight Section Brocade, which can also be practiced by young ladies in the boudoir."

Su Ling had read about Eight Section Brocade in a book. It was a physical fitness technique similar to Tai Chi, but Tai Chi had an offensive power, while Eight Section Brocade was only for strengthening the body.

Su Lingyue thought about it and decided that since she had nothing to do anyway, she might as well find something to do so that she wouldn't always miss Xiao Yu.

Just as I was about to agree, I saw a person appear at the door of the hall.
