She didn’t like to bring Su Xiaoxiao back to Kunning Palace.
It was not that Su Xiaoxiao was not qualified, but that Kunning Palace was too cold. The more she interacted with it, the more she did not want to bring Su Xiaoxiao to that impersonal palace.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care.
She did not curry favor with the empress. Wouldn’t she just eat wherever she went?
The only request she had mentioned was that there were too many dishes and it was a serious waste.
Today, the imperial kitchen made wild ba.s.s soup, stewed chicken with small mushrooms, fermented eggplant, and stir-fried cabbage.
It was really delicious.
However, as Su Xiaoxiao ate, she fell asleep with a thud. Princess Jingning wondered, “What did you do last night?”
“Miss Su, Miss Su.”
Taozhi called out twice.
Princess Jingning said softly, “Forget it, don’t disturb her. Let her sleep. Go get my cloak.”
“Yes.” Taozhi returned to Kunning Palace and carried a cloak over, carefully covering Su Xiaoxiao.
“Take away the food.” Princess Jingning said.
She had no appet.i.te eating alone.
Princess Jingning sat in the pavilion for a while with her book.
Su Xiaoxiao slept soundly.
The palace servants’ jaws dropped.
Miss Su was the first person in the world to dare to make the legitimate princess wait like this.
Not long after Princess Jingning sat down, Aunt Mei came over from the palace. She said that the empress had asked Princess Jingning to go to Yong Shou Palace with her to visit the Empress Dowager.
“She was frightened by the wind at night and coughed a little.” Aunt Mei said. Princess Jingning couldn’t reject this. She kept the Taozhi at the pavilion.
An hour later, Su Xiaoxiao woke up.
Taozhi let out a long sigh.
If Miss Su didn’t wake up, she wouldn’t know what to do. Should she wake Miss Su up for cla.s.s or let Miss Su continue sleeping—
Taozhi thoughtfully fetched a basin of water and placed a clean towel.
Su Xiaoxiao thanked her and washed her face, looking much more energetic.
Taozhi sent Su Xiaoxiao to the Palace Academy to study.
Su Xiaoxiao knew the way, but since Princess Jingning had instructed Taozhi to guard her, Taozhi had to do it beautifully and finish it.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t refuse.
This time, the two of them did not walk through the peach garden. Instead, they slowly walked along the pool toward the exit of the harem.
When she pa.s.sed by the small pond near the Bright Moon Pavilion, she met a few daughters who were admiring fish outside.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care at first until she heard herself.
“That countryside girl is too much! How could she do such a crazy thing!”
“That’s right. To think that I thought she was just from the countryside and didn’t know the rules. She’s ultimately not a bad person. I didn’t expect her to actually injure the patient and forcefully bring the patient to her medical center for treatment! How is this different from being a bandit? Is no one going to care?”
Lin Ruyue snorted. “How can we care about such things? Unless the patient reports it to the officials himself, we can’t do anything!”
Miss w.a.n.g smiled. “Everyone, stop talking. When Miss Hu comes over later and hears us discussing Benevolence Hall, she will be sad.”
Lin Ruyue sighed. “The Benevolence Hall is so pitiful. How did they end up with such a scoundrel?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Miss w.a.n.g coughed heavily.
Lin Ruyue was in a good mood and didn’t notice Miss w.a.n.g’s hint at all. She continued, “I heard that her mother pa.s.sed away a long time ago. A eldest daughter like her has no mother. No wonder she didn’t learn…”
Before she could finish, Su Xiaoxiao walked over with a cold expression. Miss w.a.n.g hurriedly tugged at her sleeve. “Ahem!”
Lin Ruyue sensed something and turned around. A trace of guilt and embarra.s.sment flashed across her eyes.
However, she would not show weakness in front of a country girl.
She bluffed and said, “Did I say something wrong? You had no mother—Ah!”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t waste her breath on her. She grabbed her collar and threw her into the water!
This scene stunned everyone.
In the past, they had ridiculed this girl a lot. This girl always looked indifferent.
They thought she had no temper…
Lin Ruyue did not know how to swim and struggled in the water for a long time before she was saved by the eunuchs and palace maids at the side.
Lin Ruyue sat on the gra.s.s wetly and wanted to curse, “Su, are you crazy?” However, when she met Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze, she choked.
Now that cla.s.s was approaching, Princess Hui An came over from Qi Xiang Palace.
She saw movement here and walked over with the palace maid. She asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Lin Ruyue instantly seemed to have seen a life-saving straw.. Her eyes turned red as she cried to Princess Hui An, “Princess, Miss Su pushed me into the water! Please mete out justice for me!”
