I Am This Type of Woman

"This girl Hua Hua is getting lazier, just a small matter like this and she still bothers Momo." Emperor Yunqing laughed and shook his head, "She needs to be punished."

"Your Majesty, it was nubi who asked to run this errand for Junzhu." Chang-momo sighed, "Please forgive nubi for saying something out of the line. All these years nubi with the Grand Princess, the grandchildren and Your Majesty were the ones held dearest in her heart. Nubi wishes to see Your Majesty directly so nubi can feel at ease. Moreover, Junzhu is still in mourning, it is not good to enter the Palace as usual."

Emperor Yunqing heard what she said, his face looked quite moved, "Zhen...... ay."

Chang-momo stood up, "Having seen Your Majesty is in good health, hale and hearty, nubi is relieved. Your Majesty has plenty of matters in hand, nubi dares not disturb for long. Nubi withdraws now."

Emperor Yunqing wanted to keep Chang-momo a little more, but he knew that not only Chang-momo was Aunt's closest servant, she was also the strictest one. It was already unusual for her to speak this much, he couldn't possibly expect her to stay longer.

He had no choice but to order a female official to see Chang-momo off out of the Palace, along with a stack of gifts for Ban family.

Whoever made him happy, he would make them happy too.

At Ban family's residence, Ban Heng took a bite of the sugar figurine and he almost vomitted.

"Sis, this figurine is too sweet, it's not edible." Ban Heng tossed the figurine on the plate, wiped the sugary liquid from the corner of his mouth and gulped down mouthfuls of water.

"Who told you to eat, it's for looking." Ban Hua gave him a disgusted look, "It looks so much like you, and you still want to eat it?"

"Anything that can be eaten, I will eat." After a half bowl of tea, he looked at Ban Hua perplexly, "What do you buy these stuff for?"

"I happened to see it on the street, so I ordered some." Ban Hua stood up, "If I knew you don't appreciate it, I could have saved 20 wens."

Ordinary people rarely purchased precious sweets, sugar figurine was quite expensive and was normally mixed with flour. Probably because Ban Hua was generous so the figurine-maker put more sugar to express his gratitude to this big customer.

"Who said I don't want, I cherish it." Remembering that he didn't have much money this month, Ban Heng hurriedly picked it back up from the plate and started licking. "Don't worry, I can finish it."

"You want to finish it?" Ban Hua laughed in anger. She snatched the figurine, then roughly wiped Ban Heng's face with a handkerchief, "What are you doing finishing something this sweet, do you still want your teeth?"

Ban Heng smiled ingratiatingly and took a sip of tea, "Sis, aren't you going out?"

Ban Hua's eyebrows raised, "What for?"

"Nothing, nothing." Ban Heng laughed heh heh, "It's just that these days many people heard of your engagement with Count Rong, they are so shocked their eyeballs almost jump out. That Zhou Changxiao, do you remember, he was here very early yesterday wanted to ask about this."

"Aren't you all too idle." Ban Hua humphed, "It's the Second Prince's grand wedding soon, shouldn't they be there joining the fun rather than caring about me?"

"Because you are prettier than the Second Prince's consort." Ban Heng was confident of this, "All of those women who wanted to marry Count Rong, and now ..... heh heh heh."

How unpleasant were the rumours that time?

His sister was a husband-curse? No man wanted his sister? That she was a brainless beauty. As if insulting his sister could make themselves better.
