"Isn't it simple," the teacher thought, "just blacklisting the Jade Rabbit Spirit will do."
There'd be a chance to savor the taste of red-braised rabbit head with Li Changxi when Chang'e is away.
Chang'e was neither a worm in Ji Changsheng's stomach nor did she understand him. Hearing Ji Changsheng put it that way, she instantly believed him, her face breaking into a delighted smile, "The Emperor is truly magnanimous. I'll go and steep some fresh tea for you right away."
Back in her room, Chang'e steeped the tea while reassuring the Jade Rabbit Spirit, "Jade Rabbit, don't worry. Great Emperor Changsheng is very generous; he won't hold this bit of impulsiveness against you."
The Jade Rabbit Spirit felt nervous, "Master, what did he say?"
Chang'e repeated Ji Changsheng's words, "Great Emperor Changsheng said since you're my pet, naturally he won't fuss over it. Rest assured, the Emperor's word is his bond, and he has a broad mind; he won't care about such trifles."
