The Tales of a Blessed Daughter

Chapter 55: I Cannot Hold On Much Longer

“The work in the Imperial Residence will continue as usual. If there’s anything, look for An Yi.”

After saying this with a smile, Su Yan stood up and left.

The moment she left the house, she bumped into the girl who carried her yesterday.

Leng Shuang blushed and lowered her head. She called out, “Greetings, Princess Consort.”

Su Yan had a good impression of Leng Shuang. “What’s your name?”

Leng Shuang did not expect Su Yan to ask her a question. When she raised her head again, the expression on her face had already returned to its usual cold expression.

“Leng Shuang.”

Su Yan felt that she was very similar to An Yi as both of them had cold expressions.

Just as she was about to say something, An Yi’s voice came from behind her.

“Princess Consort, this is Leng Shuang. She will be in charge of your safety in the future.”

Su Yan’s eyes lit up. “Sure.”

Leng Shuang nodded in agreement and stood beside Su Yan, putting on a protective posture.

Su Yan brought Leng Shuang to a place where no one was around mysteriously.

Leng Shuang looked at Su Yan’s sparkling eyes in confusion.

Leng Shuang was much taller than Su Yan and it was inconvenient for her to keep looking up.

She simply dragged Leng Shuang to a small pavilion at the side and sat down.

“Princess Consort, I can’t.”

Leng Shuang stood behind Su Yan and did not take a seat.

“Why?”

“Princess Consort, you are the Master, how can I sit with the Master?” Leng Shuang answered seriously.

Su Yan said, “I am the Master. The Master has ordered you to sit down. Are you not going to sit down?”

Leng Shuang frowned and pondered. It was obvious that this question was beyond what she learnt.

Su Yan found it funny. “Alright, you are too tall. It hurts my neck staring up at you. Quickly sit down.”

Only then did Leng Shuang sit down. She obediently sat down and straightened her back.

Su Yan felt a little helpless but she knew that this was the biggest compromise of the other party.

She cupped her face and looked at Leng Shuang. Su Yan was a little excited. “Leng Shuang, can you teach me martial arts?”

Su Yan had always been very interested in martial arts, especially Qinggong.

In her previous life, she had never had the chance to learn it and she did not want to trouble An Yi and the others.

Leng Shuang was the perfect person to teach her.

Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Su Yan to make such a request.

She nodded. “Sure.”

Su Yan cried out in surprise, “Really! From now on, you will be my Master.”

Leng Shuang frowned and said, “You are the master, I am not the Master.”

Su Yan did not refute Leng Shuang’s words, but of course, she did not listen to her either.

She kept calling her Master. After many times of fruitless rejection, Leng Shuang actually got used to it.

“Master Leng Shuang, is this really useful?”

After expressing that she wanted to learn Qinggong, Leng Shuang made Su Yan practice horse stance for fifteen minutes.

When it came to martial arts, Leng Shuang’s entire temperament changed.

“Princess Consort, horse stance is the basic skill of all martial arts. If you want to practice martial arts, you must first have a strong body.”

Su Yan was so tired that her forehead was covered in sweat. She licked her dry lips and said with difficulty, “But I can’t hold on much longer.”

Leng Shuang frowned at Su Yan and said coldly, “You have to pass this stage to practice martial arts.”

Chu Tao and Chun Xia could not stand watching from the side. They looked at Leng Shuang with some dissatisfaction. “Princess Consort, why don’t you take a break before you practice?”

“Yes, yes. Princess Consort, you have just started practicing martial arts. It’s better to take it slow.”

Leng Shuang frowned unhappily.

Su Yan said, “It’s okay. I’ll persevere a little longer.”

Leng Shuang’s expression had just turned a little better when she saw Chu Tao and Chun Xia, holding a handkerchief and a teacup respectively, serving Su Yan.

The scene of wiping sweat and serving tea was very lively, but her expression was a little bad.

Was she practicing martial arts, or was she playing around?

Leng Shuang had always maintained a high reverence for martial arts. She immediately said in a deep voice, “Princess Consort, if you can’t bear the pain of practicing martial arts, then don’t practice martial arts.”

Although her words were fierce, Leng Shuang was only giving Su Yan a sincere suggestion.

Su Yan was not angry. She smiled and gave Chu Tao and Chun Xia a look.
