Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

"Miss, what brings the Prince of Yan to see you?"

When Yu Nuan returned to her room, Qingyi had already brought in ginger soup. As she handed the soup to Yu Nuan, she casually asked, "What's wrong?"

"Spring Peach, Summer Lotus, you two have some too."

The two accepted the ginger soup, deeply moved, and said, "Thank you, Sister Qingyi."

"Alright, hurry up and drink it!"

Yu Nuan smelled the ginger soup, frowned, and found it hard to swallow. Qingyi saw Yu Nuan's expression and laughed, "Miss, drink it quickly! The ginger soup will get cold soon."

"Qingyi, can I not drink it? You know I'm very healthy and I definitely won't catch a cold."

Yu Nuan looked at Qingyi pitifully, hoping that Qingyi would let her go and not drink the ginger soup.

"No, Miss, you have to drink it. Look, Chun Tao and Xia He have already finished their bowls. This ginger soup tastes much better than medicine!"

Qingyi sternly refused Yu Nuan and urged her to finish drinking quickly.

Seeing Yu Nuan's adorable side, Chun Tao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Miss, the ginger soup actually tastes pretty good. If you drink it all in one go, you won't taste it."

Seeing that Qingyi wasn't buying it, Yu Nuan had no choice but to drink the ginger soup. She held her breath, looked up with a pained expression, and gulped down the whole bowl of ginger soup.

After finishing her drink, Yu Nuan showed it to Qing Yi, saying, "I finished it, and I drank it all clean." She looked like she wanted praise.

Qingyi looked at Yu Nuan with doting eyes and praised, "Miss is so amazing!"

Yu Nuan was a little embarrassed by the praise; she didn't know what was wrong with her today, she was acting very childish.

"By the way, Miss, you haven't answered me yet. What brings the Prince of Yan to see you?"

"Oh, the Prince of Yan said he would send someone to the capital to deliver congratulatory gifts in a few days, and asked if I would like to help deliver a letter home."

"Send a birthday gift? Whose birthday is it?" Qingyi had worked in the palace, so she knew that the Emperor and Empress Dowager's birthdays were not during this period.

Before Yu Nuan could answer, Qingyi suddenly seemed to remember something and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, is the road passable? Weren't you told that the road was covered in snow and difficult to walk on?"

“It’s not easy to travel, but that doesn’t mean we can’t travel. Delivering the congratulatory gift is something we have to do. We’re not in a hurry to leave. Traveling in the snow would just be asking for trouble.”

Yu Nuan imagined that traveling through the snow and ice would be inconvenient, even though the two of them were resistant to the cold. She decided to wait until next spring when the snow and ice melted before leaving.

Qingyi thought about it and agreed, so she stopped dwelling on the matter and continued the previous topic of birthdays. Qingyi asked guessingly, "Could it be a birthday gift from Her Majesty the Empress?"

Yu Nuan shook her head and said, "It's the first birthday of the eldest prince. The emperor finally has a prince, so this should be a big celebration."

Upon hearing this, Qingyi cautiously glanced at Yu Nuan's expression. Seeing that she was not saddened by the news, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Spring and Summer Lotus, who were standing nearby, heard the two discussing the Emperor and Empress and stood motionless in fright, like decorations in the room.

Yu Nuan shook her head with amusement and said, "You know, I stopped caring about them a long time ago. I'm really happy now. Qingyi, you don't need to be so careful."

"I know that Miss is now free and living the life she wants, and Qingyi is happy for you."

Xia He was quite observant and was able to deduce from their conversation that the young lady might be related to the Emperor, but she didn't know the connection.

Chun Tao was completely bewildered by the two's cryptic conversation, scratching her head in confusion, but she couldn't directly ask Yu Nuan.

Back in her room, Xia He suddenly remembered something she had heard before: that the Emperor had dismissed all his concubines in order to marry the Empress, and she and Chun Tao had marveled at the Emperor's devotion. If her mistress had truly been one of the Emperor's concubines, Xia He, standing on her mistress's side, thought the Emperor's actions were utterly despicable, even more so than those men who favored their concubines over their wives.

Xia He angrily slammed her fist on the bed, making a loud noise that startled Chun Tao.

"Xiahe, why did you suddenly pound the bed? You scared me."

As Chuntao was talking, she came over to check on Xiahe. Seeing her angry expression, she quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Xia He glanced at Chun Tao and told her, "I'm fine."

Xiahe understands Chuntao; she is simple-minded. If she were to tell Chuntao her guess, Chuntao would definitely make a move tomorrow. Xiahe thinks that since her mistress doesn't want to talk about it, she doesn't want to mention the past.

That evening, Yu Nuan sat at the table and began writing a letter to Jiang's parents. As she unfolded the paper, Yu Nuan suddenly found herself at a loss for words, unsure of what to write.

In the past two years, because she was always on the road and because it was inconvenient to send letters at this time, Yu Nuan lost contact with her family. In other words, in the past two years, Yu Nuan has never sent a single letter home.

Qingyi draped a coat over Yu Nuan and saw that Yu Nuan had picked up her pen but hadn't written a single word.

"Miss, are you worried that the master and mistress will blame you?"

"Qingyi, as a daughter, I am really too unfilial. I know my mother is worried about me, but I have never written a single letter to them in the past two years. I don't know how things are at home now, whether my father and mother are healthy, and Chen-ge should have grown up quite a bit by now."

Thinking of her family, she was overwhelmed with longing and tears streamed down her face.

Qingyi hugged Yu Nuan tightly, comforting her, "Miss, Master and Madam will understand you and won't blame you. Compared to blaming you, I think Master and Madam are more worried about your safety."

"Ok, I know."

Yu Nuan couldn't stop crying, and in the end, she couldn't write the letter anymore.

Qingyi pulled Yu Nuan to bed, and only after seeing her close her eyes did she blow out the lamp and leave. Yu Nuan, who was crying herself to sleep, saw her father and mother in her dream, and hugged them, expressing her longing for them.

When Yu Nuan woke up the next day, her eyes were swollen from crying.

When Xia He saw this, she misunderstood that Yu Nuan was still heartbroken for the Emperor, and became even more furious with him.

After crying all night, Yu Nuan's emotions gradually calmed down. She realized that her emotional breakdown last night was likely due to the lingering emotions of the original owner of the body. Deep down, the original owner deeply missed her family.

After writing the letter, Yu Nuan prepared gifts for Jiang's parents and Chen Ge'er, all of which were rare and precious items she had seen along the way, and delivered them to the Prince of Yan along with the letter. Yu Nuan decided that even if she owed the Prince of Yan a favor, she would still bring back gifts for Jiang's parents.

Yu Nuan knows she'll regret making a mistake this time, as she can always repay favors later.

"Miss, should these things be delivered directly to the Prince of Yan's residence?"

Qingyi packed the gifts and asked Yu Nuan.

"It should be! His Highness the Prince of Yan didn't make it clear that day whether he sent someone to pick it up or we delivered it to the Prince of Yan's residence."

"It's alright, I'll go to the Prince of Yan's residence to ask later," Qingyi said nonchalantly, continuing to check her belongings to see if she had forgotten anything.

"Alright, you can make a trip to the Prince of Yan's residence."
