The sun had already risen when Su Xi-er awoke the next day, the bright light making it difficult for her to open her eyes .

Su Xi-er raised her hand to rub her aching forehead, only remembering that she had arrived at the Prince Yun Residence where she had been challenged to a drinking match by Ning Anlian .
Ning Anlian was dead drunk by the end, and I didn't feel great either . After that, I can't remember anything . I don't remember how I got back to my room at all .
She rubbed her forehead with her right hand a few more times . Although she still felt a bit dizzy, the feeling had subsided for now .
Su Xi-er lifted her quilt and began to get up, pausing when she caught sight of the dress that she had on . The blue garment was twisted and hanging off the side of the bed, while the wrinkles in the fabric indicated that something had been pressing down on it .
Was I pressed under someone yesterday? Who was it? Pei Qianhao? When she thought of this, Su Xi-er felt her headache returning .

He is a very proud man . Would he really take me to my bed and cover me with a quilt without taking my clothes off while I was completely drunk?
Su Xi-er sighed . I shouldn't drink too much of that wine .
She then got off the bed, heading towards the wardrobe . It wasn't long before she had stripped off all her old clothes and put on a new green coloured dress .
Su Xi-er was going to wash off the smell of alcohol from the blue dress . She tied her hair into a simple bun before putting her blue dress and other clothes into a wooden basin, carrying them out of the room .
She walked by the well, picked up a bucket of water, and squatted down to wash her clothes .

The female cook walked past here coincidentally . She wanted to go up and say something to Su Xi-er, but didn't dare to . Prince Hao has already blamed me for previously asking Su Xi-er to sew some clothes .
What if Prince Hao appears again when I go up and talk to Su Xi-er? The female cook was a bit hesitant . She glanced at Su Xi-er one last time before deciding to keep walking .
Su Xi-er happened to raise her head and spotted her before calling out, "Auntie . "
When the female cook heard herself called gently, it was like a soft breeze had entered her heart . If my daughter had grown up safely, she would be almost the same age as Su Xi-er . How great it would be if that was my daughter calling me .
"Auntie, are you going to the back kitchen?"

The female cook turned around with a cautious look on her face . "Yes, I am going to clear breakfast away and prepare for lunch . " At this point, she suddenly remembered that Su Xi-er hadn't had breakfast .
"Have you eaten breakfast yet? You must eat something in the morning . Going hungry is a trivial matter, but it's bad for your stomach . "
Su Xi-er smiled . "I will finish was . h . i . +ng the clothes first; I woke up late today . " It was rare for her to sleep in, only having done so today because she had drunk too much last night
"I stewed some snow pear soup [1] this morning . Come and drink it after you finish was . h . i . +ng the clothes . Try to wake up earlier in the future as well . " When the female cook finished talking, she smiled and walked away .
Su Xi-er watched the female cook's retreating figure and thought that she was acting stiff today . It must be because Pei Qianhao frightened her last time .
This garment is made of such a delicate material . I need to slowly rub it, wash it twice, then rinse it twice to finish was . h . i . +ng it .
Su Xi-er hung the garment on a pole before walking to the back kitchen .
When the female cook saw her, she took the snow pear soup out immediately . "There is just one bowl left, but there are no other dishes or porridge left . Drink this, and you can have lunch in four hours . "
1 . A type of Chinese pear with yellow skin, also called yellow pear .
I found a few versions of it online but I felt that this looked the most appetising .
