Lian Song jumped off the beauty immediately and was terrified but the young lady said "Dijun! It was just an accident. I am okay now!" Dong Hua was still holding the Cang'he and pointed it at Lian Song "Get… Out" and with that he ran for his life and Zhong Li just stood there confused and terrified "Do you also wanna die?" Dong Hua turns to face Zhong Li "I will uh- excuse me Dijun." and he followed Lian Song.

     "Xiaobai I don't like this game." He said coldly and she signed "Well… we can uh…  Actually let's forget that happened let's go do something else? But also you must apologize to the Third prince!" and he was quiet for a bit "Apologize? Why should I? He should be saying sorry, not me. Also he took advantage of you so he needs to say sorry to you!" Dong Hua yelled but he didn't mean to yell at her and Fengjiu was getting a little scared and he could see the fear in her eyes so he softened his eyes "Sorry Xiaobai… I shouldn't have yelled, please forgive me." He then pulled her into an embrace and held her tight. She stood there shocked and scared he had already apologized twice to her today and now is hugging her? "It's okay… But you have to apologize to the Third Prince!" She looked up at him and he nodded. After a few minutes of silence and in each other's embrace Fengjiu got an idea 

     "How about you make him an apology gift?" Dong Hua then looked at her and raised an eyebrow "You want me to make… An apology gift? But how?" She thought for a moment but said "Well you just make a gift and apologize! It's pretty simple actually. Oh wait! How about we make him something sweet!" Dong Hua didn't want to apologize to the Third Prince but since this is his  Xiaobai he will just obey but he then got an idea "How about we make him my special sweet and sour fish?" He asked very seriously and he was serious. He wanted to kill Lian Song for trying to take advantage of his Xiaobai "Are you trying to kill him?" She whispered and he nodded "No we can't kill him! Here let's just go to the kitchen" she then grabbed his hand and walked over to the kitchen. 

She opened the door and ran over to where they stored the meat and fish "How do you know your way around the Palace so well?" He was quite surprised she knew where the kitchen was and she froze "Well uh… it's a… Gut feeling! Yeah that's all…" and he nodded. He walked over to her and saw that she was washing the fish "Dijun I will wash the fish and you can… You can make the sauce. I will tell you what you need." He nodded "Oh and here!" She ran over and got a bowl from the cabinets "First sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger then add some white vinegar and water." She told him so he did as she asked and waited for her next instruction but she was frying the fish "What now?" He questioned and she turned back and ran Iverson to him "Well take that little pot over there" she pointed to the pot "Put the sauce in and boil it for a bit. Then after that add this right here" she gave him a jar with some red sauce "Then mix it all together and let me know when you're done!" She then ran back to the stove and checked on the fish. "Maybe I can put a little bit of poison in this… Wait she might try it… I can do that after." He thought to himself and he continued to make the sauce. 

Fengjiu was finishing the fish and she told Dong Hua to cut some green onions. He was very much impressed with her and was somewhat too distracted with looking at her rather than cutting the green onions. He felt a sharp pain on his finger and he almost chopped off his finger "Dijun! You must be careful! You have a cut on your hand! Here come sit." She went over and got a wooden stool and made him sit so he did and watched her look for bandages.

     After a while she came back with a wet towel, bandages, and some ointment and got on her knees and carefully cleaned the cut with the wet towel "Dijun tell me if it hurts… Okay?" And he just said "Okay." and he watched her use the ointment and bandage for his cut. "Alright all done!" She jumped up and ran over to the fish "Now let's add the green onions and sauce… And we are done!" She looked quite proud of them and she put her hand up in front of him and he looked at her hand and back at her confused so he just took her hand in his and kissed it softly while keeping his eyes on her. She looked away while blushing uncontrollably and said "That was supposed to be a high-five not that…" she continued to look away "Oh? A high-five? What's that?" He generally didn't know so she took his hand and hers and pushed them together "That's what a high-five is." And he used his usually respond "Oh" 

"Okay how about we go see-" before she finished her sentence she let out a little yawn. She was actually pretty tired because of the cooking and she didn't get much rest the night before "Are you tired already Xiaobai?" But she shook her head "No! I am not tired at all. We have to go say sorry to the Third Prince." She then grabbed the fish and was about to walk out the door until he appeared in front of her "Xiaobai don't worry I will go say sorry but you seem tired how about you go to bed." She sighed and gave him the fish. He then placed the fish on the counter and grabbed her hand and walked over to her room. When they reached her room she jumped onto her bed and got comfortable "You don't wanna get change?" He asked but she shook her head "Night Dijun." She yawned and closed her eyes "Goodnight Xiaobai…" And he left her room. 

He walked back to the kitchen and ran over to the fish while grabbing a pair of chopsticks and took a bite of the fish "This fish… tasted like… then one maid Xiaojiu cooked…" he whispered to himself but decided to eat all the fish himself instead of giving to Lian Song and after that he went back to his room. 
---------------------------------------------------

     Xuanren was sitting by Xiaojiu's grave looking and talking to her "Xiaojiu… I miss you so much… I don't know why you had left me in this world alone… I love you so much…" He started to tear up a bit "You are my best friend… my wife… the queen of my heart… and my whole world… I can't live without you." Tears now streaming down his face he laid next to her and begged "Come back! Come back! PLEASE COME BACK I NEED YOU!" He yelled so loud that he was sure people heard "My love… I need you…" 

     Fengjiu woke up and sat up immediately sweating as she felt tears streaming down and she covered her face with her hands. She realized that it was a dream but who was this man that loved her so much? She began crying her heart out and she felt so much pain just from thinking of him.

     It was all quiet until she heard the door open but she didn't bother to look and she continued to cry "Xiaobai? What's wrong?" She looked up and saw Dong Hua rushing over to her and sat by her bed "Dijun?" She began wiping her tears away from her face "Nothing is wrong! I just um… woke up!" She put on a fake smile but he frowned "I saw you crying, why are you lying?" He looked at her with worried and sad eyes and she couldn't hold it back "I had a bad dream and I just feel sad and my heart hurts so much!" She then felt a cold slender hand wiping her tears and he asked "Why would you lie then?" He kept his hand on her face waiting for a response and she whispered "You hate crying women… I heard from Zhe Yan that you think women cry because they are trying to guilt trip you or get attention." And she looked away embarrassed. "It's also kinda embarrassing crying in front of the former master of the universe." He saw her blush and he smiled "Xiaobai… you are the only exception…" he then pulled her into his arms "Close your eyes… get some rest…" and he held her until she fell into a deep sleep.

     Fengjiu woke up to see that it was morning already and looked around her room to see if Dijun was around but saw something on her desk. She got out of bed and ran to her desk and saw a letter and a bag

Xiaobai

I will be attending court and won't be back in a while. If you get hungry just call Zhong Li over and he will serve you. And I also hope you enjoy your gift I got you.

Dong Hua

She looked over at the bag and opened it and gasped at what she saw

A nine tails stuffed animal fox and a pair of bells! She took out the bells and fox and tied the bells on it's foot. She decided that she was gonna go by the garden and play with it so she ran out of her room holding the Fox and made her way to the garden. She sat down by the oak tree and started making it walk around going on an adventure. 

I don't own this image I found it off Pinterest and the sweet and sour fish recipe I found it off Panlasang Pinoy. Also I couldn't find a picture of the bells Fengjiu stole from Dong Hua.
