Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When it was almost midnight, the banquet ended. Emperor Jing Xuan returned to his bedroom, and the others left one after another.
Old Matriarch Wei held her mighty tiger-headed walking stick and led the valiant women of the Wei family out of the Qilin Hall. She simply walked with the aura of a marching army.
The three little ones were energetic and ran around the palace. Wei Ting crossed his arms in the cold wind and looked at them happily.
What was worth mentioning was that other than Zhuge Qing, the strategist of the Western Jin Dynasty, the women of the Wei family were in the limelight today. In particular, Madam Chen’s move had shut many people up.
Apart from that, there were two other people who attracted a lot of attention. The first was Su Xiaoxiao.
In the past, everyone only thought that she was a little fat girl who did whatever she wanted, but tonight, they felt that she was indescribably beautiful. Her face was almost comparable to Bai Xihe’s.
As for the other, it was Mei Ji, who was beside Wei Qing. ƒrēewebnovel.com
She was naturally charming and had an exquisite figure. Coupled with the fact that she was not wearing too heavy clothes, her waist and top-notch figure were outlined to the extreme.
Xiao Duye’s gaze never left her.
Mei Ji glared at him in disdain and pushed Wei Qing’s wheelchair out.
“Princess Hui An, please wait.”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped Princess Hui An outside the hall.
Princess Hui An raised her chin and said, ‘Why? Can’t bear to part with me?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and handed her a brocade box. “I brought a small gift for
Princess Hui An from Western Jin.”
Princess Hui An’s eyes lit up, but she quickly returned to normal. She took the brocade box with a proud expression and opened it. It was a dazzling gem.
She liked gorgeous things like gems. The previous time, Su Xiaoxiao gave her a purple gem. This time, it was a pink gem. It was three times better-looking tnan tne last time.
She couldn’t hide the love in her eyes anymore, but she looked forced. “Is it only for me this time?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “There’s only one gem of this quality in the West Capital. I don’t have a second one to give to anyone.”
Princess Jingning liked jade, so she gave her a pair of imperial green bracelets.
Only then did Princess Hui An look satisfied.
At this moment, Princess Jingning walked over.
Princess Hui An closed the brocade box and went back to show it off to Jingning!
Princess Jingning said to Hui An, “Aren’t you going back? Aren’t you afraid that Consort Xian will wait for you? The Wei family members are all waiting for her in the carriage.”
Princess Hui An snorted. “What’s wrong with me saying a few words to my sidekick? Do I need you to remind me?”
Princess Jingning said calmly, “Has she acknowledged that she’s your sidekick?”
“She acknowledges it in her heart!” Princess Hui An would never show weakness in front of Jingning. She thought of something and turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao. “Little sidekick, where are the letters you wrote to me? Why didn’t I receive any?”
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Princess Hui An continued, “Did you only write and not send them?”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t write them?” Princess Hui An stomped her feet. “You promised to write to me!”
Su Xiaoxiao searched through the few memories in her mind and it seemed she did indeed reply casually on a dark night.
The conversation went like this:
“Remember to write to me when you’re free.”
“Yeah.”
Didn’t such polite words usually mean that she didn’t need to write?
Princess Hui An said angrily, “Don’t tell me you don’t even have the time to write to me? Not to mention one every three days, there isn’t even one every ten days?”
Princess Jingning also looked at Su Xiaoxiao, as if asking, “Where’s my letter?”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered,” Why do I feel that there’s going to be a fire in the backyard again…”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I wrote them, but I didn’t send them. They’re in my bag.” Princess Hui An said solemnly, “Then enter the palace tomorrow and bring it to me!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s smile remained. “I’m going back to the Public House tomorrow.”
Princess Hui An said firmly, “Then the day after tomorrow! If you can’t come over, I’ll go to your residence to get them myself!”
Two days, twenty-four letters… Someone should just kill her.
After returning to the residence, Su Xiaoxiao began to sit under the oil lamp and rush the letters. Her face was scrunched up with vengeance.
When Wei Ting sent the three children to Matriarch Wei’s courtyard, a certain fat peacock had already fallen asleep on the table.
Wei Ting took the brush from her hand and placed it back on the shelf before carrying her horizontally.
Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a daze. “Wei Ting, help me write…”
Wei Ting said coldly, “Heh, in your dreams.”
“So be it.” Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She had a beautiful dream in which Wei Ting finished writing all 24 letters.
However, reality was cruel. She woke up early the next morning and wrote as much as furiously as the night before before dozing off. She managed to complete… just a pitiful half.
“Seventh Sister-in-law! It’s time to cultivate!”
Madam Jiang came to get her.
Su Xiaoxiao instantly woke up. “Fifth Sister-in-law! I’m going back to the
Protector’s Estate to see my father today! We’ll spar another day!”
Madam Jiang said regretfully, “Oh. Don’t forget.”
Wei Ting went to court before dawn. He left a message for Xing’er that he would head to the Qin family to pick Su Xiaoxiao up.
Su Xiaoxiao brought the three little fellows into the carriage to the Qin family.
On the way, Su Xiaoxiao remembered that the Directorate was not on vacation today and asked Ah Fu to make a trip there.
Ah Fu parked the carriage in a nearby alley, took the carriage stool, and placed it there. “Is Young Madam going to see the young master?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, I’ll go see Ergou. I haven’t seen him in a long time. I wonder if he’s grown taller.”
It was time for the Directorate to enter school, and many students entered one after another.
Su Xiaoxiao looked for Su Ergou among the students.
Suddenly, a familiar young man’s voice sounded from behind.
“Miss… Miss Su, is that you?”
