Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Qi Yinyin's great-aunt is now the Imperial Concubine Dowager. When her father entered the palace last year, it was she who took care of him the most.

Yinyin naturally and obediently agreed, and followed Consort Shu back to her grandparents' side to watch them talk.

Time was short, so the group exchanged a few words and then went their separate ways.

This time when they left the palace, Eunuch Wu specially assigned a strong nanny to accompany and carry Yin Yin.

Since there were outsiders present, Old Master Qi didn't say anything. Once they got into the carriage, Yin Yin kept yawning, so he stopped nagging her.

After getting off the carriage, Yin Yin was taken back to her room. Everyone went back to their rooms, and then Madam Qi said, "His Majesty seems to like Yin Yin very much."

Grandpa Qi nodded and instructed her, "Just ask Yinyin to send whatever she wants, and don't be too restrictive with her."

"Do you even need to tell me that?" said Madam Qi. "Yinyin is my eldest granddaughter. Do you think I don't love her?"

Grandpa Qi smiled and said, "You're right. Yin Yin is so well-behaved and lovable, it's hard not to like her."

Madam Qi gave a light hum and said, "I heard that my in-laws are coming back. When that time comes... I'll take Yinyin with me."

Grandpa Qi was silent for a moment: "It would be good to go. After all, it is Yinyin's maternal grandparents' home. She should get acquainted with the place."

Madam Qi sighed, "You know, Yinyin is such a good person, how could the eldest daughter-in-law bear to part with her..."

She stopped mid-sentence, and Old Master Qi didn't respond either.

When Yinyin woke up, it was already the next morning.

It was earlier than usual, but Old Master Qi and his wife had already been resting for a while before heading to the palace to offer New Year's greetings.

After they return from their New Year's greetings, they will take Young Master Qi to pay respects to their ancestors.

After that, it was time for Yinyin to go to their house to wish them a Happy New Year and receive lucky money.

So at this moment, Yin Yin was in no hurry to get up and didn't make any noise. She practiced her internal energy for a while.

After completing the New Year's greetings as usual, Yin Yin found that her life had improved to a new level compared to before.

When the snow melts and spring arrives, banquets in the capital become more frequent.

Madam Qi often went out to banquets, and occasionally she would bring Yin Yin along.

However, most of the time, Yin Yin stayed in the mansion, where she was played with by the maids.

The maids always catered to her, and she had a lot of fun, but she still found an opportunity to go to the young master Qi's courtyard while he was practicing martial arts.

Yinyin didn't disturb him, but just stood aside and watched, her eyes sparkling. Sometimes when he did well, she would even let out an admiring "wow".

Young Master Qi usually practices martial arts as a formality, rarely taking it seriously.

With Yinyin by his side today, he practiced extremely diligently, hoping to make himself appear even more impressive in his niece's eyes. He was even praised several times by his usually strict martial arts instructor.

In Yin Yin's opinion, it was probably because he hadn't worked hard enough in the past, and he had given Master Wu a pleasant surprise today, which was why he received this praise.

But that didn't stop Yin Yin from praising it too.

"Uncle, you're amazing! You wield such a long gun with incredible skill."

As Yinyin spoke, she demonstrated two moves.

The martial arts instructor watching was immediately impressed. Yin Yin's casual demonstration of the two movements, though limited by her age and lacking strength, was remarkably accurate. It was far better than what Young Master Qi had achieved.

After glancing at the tiny, bean-like Yin Yin, Master Wu turned his face away with some regret, no longer looking at her.

Young Master Qi wiped the sweat from his face. He had intended to pick up Yin Yin in a dashing manner, but he had overdone it today and his arms felt weak. So he simply squatted down, put his hands on Yin Yin's shoulders, and said smugly, "Impressive, right!"

"I'll show you an even more amazing move tomorrow, one that'll be even more spectacular!"

Yinyin's face was full of anticipation: "Uncle, can Yinyin learn? Yinyin wants to be as good as you."

"Yinyin, learn it..." Young Master Qi hesitated for a moment before trying to persuade her, "Yinyin, listen to me, learning martial arts isn't that simple, it's extremely difficult!"

"It needs to practice diligently in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, day after day, to master it."

"Moreover, practicing martial arts requires sun exposure and exposure to wind and rain, which will roughen your face and calluses on your soft hands in no time. No amount of ointment will be able to remove them."

When Young Master Qi said this, the martial arts instructor beside him pretended not to hear anything.

After all, just by looking at Young Master Qi's face, one should know that he himself has never done any of what he said.

Unlike what Young Master Qi had expected, Yin Yin did not back down immediately. Instead, she expressed her desire to learn more cheerfully.

“I’m learning with my uncle. If my uncle can do it, I can definitely do it too.”

Young Master Qi liked Yin Yin's company, but at the same time, he didn't want her to be with him.

Just as he was struggling with this, Master Wu came up with a solution.

“Miss Yinyin can come and watch the young marquis practice martial arts often. When he is learning, you can practice alongside him.”

In this way, since it's not formal teaching, Yin Yin can rest whenever she wants.

Moreover, Yinyin's arrival also had one advantage: it caused Young Master Qi's seriousness in practicing martial arts to increase dramatically.

So Master Wu isn't afraid of upsetting Old Master Qi and the others by saying this now.

The matter was basically settled, and Young Master Qi no longer needed to make a choice. After saying goodbye to Master Wu, he took Yin Yin's hand and headed towards his study.

"Yinyin, why did you suddenly decide to come watch me practice martial arts today?"

Yinyin replied, "Sister Emerald said she would play the Nine Linked Rings with me, and Sister Tortoiseshell said she would play house with me, but I didn't want to play either of them, so I came to find you, Uncle."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Uncle, you really have something even more fun here."

Young Master Qi was momentarily speechless: "Can practicing martial arts be fun?"

Yinyin whispered, "But it looks more fun than playing house or solving the nine-linked rings. I can't even solve the nine-linked rings."

Young Master Qi thought for a moment and said, "The Nine Linked Rings are a bit difficult for you."

"Otherwise, why don't you find something else to do? Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery—any of them would be very suitable for you girls."

Yinyin pouted: "No, I want to go with you, Uncle. Can't girls practice martial arts?"

“Not at all,” Young Master Qi’s eyes darted around as he came up with an idea. “When we get to the study, your uncle has something even more fun to teach you.”

Yinyin pressed, "What is it?"

"You'll see when we get there," Young Master Qi said mysteriously, leading Yin Yin into the study and finally taking out a copy of the Thousand Character Classic.

“Come here, Yinyin, I’ll teach you to read.”

Young Master Qi picked up Yin Yin and placed her in front of the table, saying with a hint of malice, "Reading is the most fun thing in the world."

Yinyin paused for a moment, then feigned anticipation: "Really?"

"Then let's get started, Uncle!"
