Chapter 42: Jealousy Grows Wild in the Heart
stop your bleeding first." He's going to bleed to death if this continues.She struggled to help him to the bushes on the bank. "Wait here for me," she said, "I'll go find some herbs."Fortunately, she...After taking the Dragon Bone Grass and with Xiao Yuge's acupuncture treatment, Xiao Zhan recovered quickly. At this time, it was unknown who spread the word that Xiao Yuge risked her life to venture into the Ghost Market to buy medicine for her father. In a short time, whether it was within the Xiao Mansion or throughout the entire capital city, everyone was talking about Xiao Yuge's filial piety. Even the Emperor, after hearing this, praised Xiao Yuge greatly in court, and he also commended Xiao Zhan for raising such a virtuous daughter, becoming even more satisfied with this future crown princess.

This day, Xiao Yuge was practicing martial arts with Chu Tianqi in the backyard.
"GEr, you are a natural at martial arts. In just two days, you've mastered this set of palm techniques so well." Chu Tianqi didn't expect Xiao Yuge's comprehension to be so good. Although he was teaching the simplest palm technique, it was still challenging for ordinary people to learn. But Xiao Yuge had managed to learn it so fluently in just two days, which surprised him greatly.
>
Of course, he never dreamed that Xiao Yuge's martial arts in front of him would be almost on par with his. For such a simple palm technique, she only needed to see it once to remember it.
"That's your master teaching you well, brother." Xiao Yuge, who was standing on the artificial hill, winked playfully at him. In a moment of distraction, her foot slipped and she cried out in surprise as she fell downwards.
"Song'er!" Chu Tian flew through the air, catching her securely and spinning gently before landing on the ground.
< >
Here.
>>>>>>>
Xiao Yuge, still shaken, met his gaze. A strange feeling blossomed in Chu Tianqi's heart until Xiao Yuge came to her senses and patted her chest in relief: "I was so scared! Thank you, brother!"

"Be more careful next time." Holding onto the air where her fragrance had been, Chu Tianqi felt a strange sense of loss.
"Everyone says that your archery skills are the best in the capital, brother. Could you teach me" Xiao Yuge looked at him with a pure and innocent expression: "Maybe one day I can fight alongside my brother on the battlefield."
"You mustn't talk nonsense. You are the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, the jewel in your parents' palms, the future Crown Princess. How could you possibly go to the battlefield"
“Then brother, will you teach me” Xiao Yu Ge tugged at his hand and acted coquettishly.
"Alright, alright, teach me! Teach me now!" Even Lian Chutian felt strange. Before, if she acted this spoiled and coquettish, he would only find it annoying. But now that she was acting like this towards him, he found himself enjoying it. How could that be
"I knew brother was the best!" Xiao Yuge happily tiptoed and quickly kissed Chu Tianqi on the face, then ran away quickly: "I'm going to get my bow and arrow!"
Chu Tianqi was left standing alone, stunned. For a long time, he couldn't recover from the shock. He instinctively touched his cheek where she had kissed him, an indescribable joy surged in his heart. Only when Xiao Yuge returned did he regain his composure.
Teaching archery hands-on inevitably involves physical contact. Her soft hair, carrying her unique fragrance, would playfully blow against Chu Tianqi's face from time to time, or entwine around his neck. The tingling sensation sent shivers down Chu Tianqi's spine. Usually a sharpshooter who could hit targets from a hundred paces, this time he missed!
"Tianqi, what's wrong with you today Your aim is so off" At that moment, Qian Sichin appeared at the doorway and effortlessly caught the arrow that Chu Tianqi had shot wide.
< >
"Brother Sichen!" Xiao Yuge left Chu Tianqi and happily ran towards Qian Sicheng.
Chu Tianqi looked at her throwing herself into another man's embrace, for some reason, his heart felt a twinge of displeasure.
“Ge’er, a new opera troupe called Ruyi Pavilion has arrived in town. It just so happens that I’m free today. Let’s invite Fu’er to go with us.” These days, Qian Si Chen had been trying every trick in the book to please Xiao Yu Ge, and finally, Xiao Yu Ge was no longer angry with him. He wouldn't miss this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.

Xiao Yu Ge brushed past his shoulder and sure enough, saw Xiao Yu Fu walking towards them: "Si Chen brother, I want to learn archery from you today. Anyway, I don't like watching plays, you go with sister and come back and tell me about it later."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
"Song..." Qian Sichin was about to say something when Xiao Yufu had already walked in.
"Brother Sizhen," Xiao Yufu softly and weakly bowed to Qian Sicheng. Her gentle voice always made people feel a pang of pity.
"Sister, you're here just in time. Si Chen just said a new opera troupe has come to town. I have to practice archery with my brother all day today, so you go with Si Chen and hear all about it when you get back."
"This" Xiao Yu Fu instinctively looked at Qian Si Chen, thousands of words unspoken, those eyes, tinged with melancholy, had already explained everything. It was a gaze no man could resist, so beautiful and sorrowful.
"Well then, I'll go with Fu'er and tell you all about it when we get back." Qian Sichin was already inclined towards Xiao Yufu in his heart and naturally couldn't bear to see her disappointed.
Xiao Yu Fu said to Xiao Yu Ge again: "By the way, Yu Ge, in two days it will be Father's birthday. I heard that the incense at Lanshan Temple is very effective. Tomorrow happens to be Zhongyuan Festival, why don't we go to Lanshan Temple tomorrow and pray for Father's well-being"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Xiao Yu Ge sighed softly in her heart: What must come, will always come!
But her face still wore that innocent and naive expression, nodding her head: "Good! I have the same idea!"
"Then we'll set off early tomorrow morning. I'll buy some things we need for tomorrow when I come back with Brother Sichen." After Xiao Yufu finished speaking, she left the place with Qian Sichin.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! I can handle a variety of languages.
Looking at their well-matched backs, Xiao Yuge's lips unconsciously curled up: one wanted to hug both left and right, the other wanted to monopolize. These two contradictory people coming together would naturally be full of drama.

"Ge'er, even though your parents have agreed to let Fu'er marry into the Prince's Mansion with you, do you really not mind" Chu Tianqi probed, honestly speaking, if Qian Sichin wasn't his childhood friend, he definitely wouldn't agree to give both of his sisters to Qian Sichin.
Xiao Yuge hung her head dejectedly, a face full of grievance as she leaned against the stone table, fiddling with her teacup: "What can they do even if they mind Sister and Brother Sichin are truly in love, besides, they've already..." She let out a light sigh: "If it were possible, I'd rather step aside and allow them to be together."
"For a girl like Fu'er, who was usually kind and careful, how could this have happened..." Chu Tianqi also knew about what had happened between Qian Si Chen and Xiao Yu Fu before. Naturally, he couldn't understand it. In his heart, Xiao Yu Fu was kind, sensible, and cautious, she would never do something so out of character.
>othing she could do. On the other hand, Chu Tianqi pursed his lips silently and returned to his room. He knew that he and Ge'er would have no destiny in this life, so the wish of this life was just to...
