Passing the initial part of Jiang Liu's temper, Wei Yi Yi picked up her momentum and start teasing again. "Isn't it fine? You just need to spend a 'little' bit more time and redraw them."
Wei Yi Yi pushed back the teary man away and smile victoriously to herself. Since the day he maltreated her books, it was her plan to messed up with him!
Pretend to help but bring trouble instead. Bury him with work and make him do unpaid overtime. Wei Yi Yi can be annoyingly petty if she really wanted.
What she didn't know is their similar attitude when it comes to things like work and responsibilities.
Not once did she ever thought that this 'official portraits' would find their way out the palace and her 'drawing' ability to be known for others!
Same birds flocks together. And they both brought her boss trouble!
"Yes! Yes! This prince will redraw them and more! All thanks to big sister's amazing talent!" Jiang Liu stamped his foot.
"Hey! Be thankful I didn't proceed to give you a stickman!" Wei Yi Yi justifies herself.
"So there is one?"
"Well..."
Jiang Liu cried even more. His eldest sister is bullying him!
It was ringing and piercing to the ears. Like a woman's sharp cries. This really doesn't suit Jiang Liu's mature and manly sculptured face.
Wei Yi Yi peaked at her maidservants, her eyes asking for help. But then, all of their heads hunkered down, pretending like they're one with the background.
Even the frank Tang Mei shifted away from her mistress' eyes.
Speak up to his highness, the sixth prince? The empress is asking too much! Forget about him being part of the imperial family, just his tantrums alone are unstoppable.
"Big sister doesn't even sound like she regrets it!" Jiang Liu poured out his heart on complaining.
Wei Yi Yi thought back on how she chugged down a whole pack of Yakult like it was juice. Run to the toilet after. And then repeat it her whole life.
There was also a time were she drunk a whole bottle of soft drink then found a carton of milk and drunk it too.
There's a lot to remember where she did something that totally failed. If she recalled right, she successfully brought herself to a hospital once from eating something. There's a lot she eats in a day so she cannot point out what exactly.
Unhindered, Wei Yi Yi never regretted doing what she deemed interesting. What's there to regret even?
"Dear younger brother, things like this, once you grow up, you'll laugh remembering. It's alright, if you don't mess up a few times, you won't have something funny to tell in the future." Wei Yi Yi insincerely assumed the role of an adult.
"This brother does not buy that! Are you taking me for a brainless monkey?! Who would have known that sister-in-law has a heart as cold as the fish's scales? And here I am unquestionably believing you."
Is it staring, Jiang Liu's endless bantering is starting!
And didn't he just say that he's not buying what she said?
Wei Yi Yi picks up Jiang Chen whose seriously listening to their nonsense. Better ignore him and take away the child. It'll be bad if Jiang Chen starts to take after Jiang Liu.
"Waa~ where is big sister going? Don't ignore me! Why are you only taking imperial nephew? What about me? I'm coming! This brother will follow big sister!" Jiang Liu insists, far from learning his lessons.
"Far away from the 'ampli'. I don't want to end up deaf."
"What 'ampli'? What is that? Is there something in here that I do not know? Sister-in-law don't ignore me! Ah! Why are you mad? I'm supposed to be the one mad! Big sister! Sister-in-law! Empress~~~"
Wei Yi Yi is close to snapping at this flapping bird! He's like a busy bee!
"Wait! Look at this big sister." Jiang Liu came back to the dog hole he crawled from. He put in his hand and search for a moment before pulling out a bow. "If big sister accompanies me to the martial hall, everything that happened and will happen shall only be between us from here on."
Wei Yi Yi crossed her arm. "What's in for me if I come with you? Also, am I even allowed in there?"
"Ummm... you're allowed... but also not?"
"Speak up straight."
"Big sister is the empress, who dare to stop you from going anywhere inside the palace... but ladies are not exactly allowed at the martial training hall..." Jiang Liu started to trail off. He kept on shifting and fidgeting.
But he was also fast at recovering. Finding his confidence, he pushed his unconditional belief and admiration to Wei Yi Yi. "But big sister is really amazing! You can definitely walk your way in there!"
"Still, why should I go with you?"
"The hunt is near, big sister. We should train and shoot arrows!"
Archery! That's right, Boss told her about the hunt! Looking at Jiang Liu's bow, thinking how she could hold it and use it, Wei Yi Yi's interest perks up. She pulled Jiang Liu's lapel and whispered, "... am I allowed to practice archery?"
"As long as Big sister can successfully enter, both of us can do whatever we wanted." Jiang Liu whispered back. Looking at the imperial nephew whose also listening to them, Jiang Liu added, "And if we smartly plan on how to go at it, we might be able to take Jiang Chen with us."
Jiang Chen peaked from his hiding spot, the empress' sleeves and stare at his sixth uncle. Wei Yi Yi also looked down at him, seeing the three of them having the same interest, she smiled cunningly. "Good. Let's hear the plan."
Finally, the two came in understanding with each other. They were later seen climbing the palace walls.
