'Old maiden?! I was called an old maiden before?! Then what of my twenty-five years old modern self? Would you people in olden times then see me as unwanted goods?!'

Wei Yi Yi, with her knowledge from reading novels, knew that people in ancient times mature faster and the age of what they consider as adult is a lot more younger. But still, reality seems far from fantasy. Despite knowing from the start that the MC in her favorite novels are 13-16 of age, as novels have words rather than appearances, she picture them as girls in the peak of their youth. What genius? What unparalleled beauty? Please don't call a child that puberty hasn't hit yet a woman! Don't lewd lolis!* Reality doesn't feel as close as before. "Empress do not be sad. It cannot be helped as his majesty need to observe the mourning period after the late emperor died!" Tang Mei got even more aggressive in 'comforting' Wei Yi Yi. "Isn't the emperor paying more and more attention towards your majesty?! Having a son or two right now is no longer impossible! It's only a matter of time!" "Stop! Stop Tang Mei! Don't say anymore!" Wei Yi Yi jump on her feet and stopped Tang Mei by putting a hand on her lips. Tang Mei just keep saying dangerous things! She felt like one way or another, this young girl might jinx her! Don't she know that Wei Yi Yi is scared of women's second nature, followed by crying of children?! "Auntie!" A sudden shout caught their attention. Wei Yi Yi saw Jiang Chen running from the entrance, straight towards her, and jump directly in her embrace. Wei Yi Yi had a panic attack. She readily caught the small child with muscle reflex but wasn't able to brace herself from the sudden impact. Jiang Chen slam heavily into her bosoms and she felt like vomiting blood. Hurt, Wei Yi Yi fall back into a sitting position. "I don't care if you want to run! Go trip if you want! But don't jump at me!" Wei Yi Yi cried. Now sitting on her lap, Jiang Chen hug her waist and mumbles, "Hmmmm..." Wei Yi Yi ruffles the child's hair in revenge. "You don't really look like seven," Wei Yi Yi said then proceed to stuff the first snack she reached into his mouth. "Eat. Eat and grow a foot or two." "Bleh," Jiang Chen split out the rest of the snack that didn't fit his small mouth into his palm. "You will eat a lot of meat and vegetables from now own," Wei Yi Yi declare, ready to fatten this small sushi roll. Jiang Chen, after hearing vegetables, looks like he just saw his ghost. "Done playing with Xiao Wang Xi? Whay are you here?" Wei Yi Yi asked. Jiang Chen pointed back at the entrance. There, Xiao Wang Xi stood sweating a little bit while Jiang Liu pretend to cough. Wei Yi Yi's brow raise a bit as she let off a soft, 'ah'. "Sixth Imperial Uncle is waiting for Auntie's summons. When he couldn't wait anymore, he goes and bother this nephew instead. Then he carried me all the way here," Jiang Chen said as if he was bullied. At the side, Tang Mei gasped. She forgotten about the sixth prince! Wei Yi Yi glared at Jiang Liu jokingly, pretending to intimidate him. And the simpleton, indeed got intimidated. "Jiang Chen, how dare you dug a grave for your own uncle! Do you take me for a rabbit that would jump willingly?!" "I do think you would jump unconsciously," Wei Yi Yi laugh at him. "Since you're here. Sit down and explain this to me," she wave the booklet in front of his face. "Big sister will meet a lot of madames and rank ladies at the Autumn Hunt. When I think that for this year, you never host a party at the imperial palace, it struck me that maybe you don't even know who is who," Jiang Liu explain as he sat across Wei Yi Yi. Right on the point. Bluntly on point. Wei Yi Yi indeed don't know and to think she needed to host them. "I have time, so I copied from the records and sent them to big sister," Jiang Liu smiled. "How about a praise?!" Jiang Liu lowered his head a bit, seemingly asking for a pat. Wei Yi Yi sware she imagine a tail wagging attached at his back. "Auntie I want to eat that. Can you reach it for me?" Jiang Chen tug on Wei Yi Yi's sleeves. "Hey!" Jiang Liu whined. Wei Yi Yi answered Jiang Chen's needs first before ultimately paying attention to Jiang Liu. "So you were speed drawing. No wonder they kind of look 'ugly'. I thought there was something wrong," Wei Yi Yi said. 'Something like his skills is dropping or the standard of women outside the inner palace is questionable.' Putting a hand on his chin, Jiang Liu thought for a moment what's wrong. After a while, he let out a sound of enlightenment and pick up Wei Yi Yi's brush. Taking the booklet from her hand, Jiang Liu flipped a few page then settled for the picture at the very front. He started to add some details. Wei Yi Yi curiously observed him as he draw. After a few strock of the brush, Wei Yi Yi suddenly shouted, "What are you doing?! Why are you drawing a goatee on a girl's face?! Stop! Stop!" "It suit her," Jiang Liu insisted. "No way! You have a problem on your beauty standard if you really think so!" Wei Yi Yi grabbed his hand but he was not backing out. Jiang Chen look at the two adult fighting on what they believe as 'beautiful'. He does not understand but he hopes he's a beauty in his Aunt's eyes.
