Chapter 249: The Empress Dowager (Part 2)



At first they thought it was not a big deal and gave away a few of them. Now when they think about it, they really regret it!

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands: "But there are no more. I will make them for you tomorrow."

Su Ergou hesitated for a moment, then said to the two of them, "I'll give you some."

The two were overjoyed and got on the carriage with smiles on their faces.

After arriving at the Imperial College.

The two of them looked at the small piece of dessert in their hands, and their smiles froze on the corners of their lips.

What this kid said... is really just a little bit... - After lunch, Su Mo brought the results of the selection for the princess's tutor.

Su Xiaoxiao was selected.

This was not the result of Su Xiaoxiao's hard work, but it was an expected result.

The reason why she had to go was to try if she could be selected even if she performed badly.

As expected.

Emperor Jingxuan really didn't care that she had been married.

Not to mention that she only had a husband in name only, even if she had a real one, once her father obtained the military power, Emperor Jingxuan would still issue an imperial decree to grant her marriage.

“The royal family really knows how to have fun.”

She flipped through the admission card that Su Mo brought. It was made of gold foil, engraved with the royal emblem, and stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Rites. It was a completely official document.

"What are you thinking?" Su Mo said.

"What date do you start school?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"You...really want to go?" Su Mo was surprised.

She ran for election to confirm her suspicions, but now that her suspicions have been confirmed, there is no need for her to get involved in this mess again.

"You can only choose one between Wei Ting and Bing Quan."

If he wants Wei Ting, he has to reject the third prince's marriage proposal. Then, Emperor Jingxuan will definitely choose Qin Yanran to marry into the royal family with military power.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Only children make choices."

Su Mo looked at her in astonishment: "This is a dead end."

Su Xiaoxiao patted the gold foil in her hand and said, "Whether it will kill you or not, you won't know until you try it."

If you try, you have a 50% chance of success and 50% of failure, but if you don't even try, then you don't even have a 50% chance of success.

Ms. Li once said that you shouldn’t work hard until you see the result, but you will get the result only if you work hard.

The thought flashed through my mind.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she hadn't thought of Ms. Li for a long time.

After Su Mo left, the palace's teaching nanny came to visit.

There are two main purposes: to tailor clothes for Su Xiaoxiao and to teach Su Xiaoxiao the rules of the palace.

Su Xiaoxiao was not the only one who enjoyed such treatment. The homes of the other daughters also had a teaching nanny.

The difference is that the daughters of noble families have learned etiquette since childhood, have been in and out of the palace several times, and are quite familiar with the palace rules. The teaching maids are just going through the motions.

Su Xiaoxiao was completely in the dark and didn't even know the emperor's surname.

The teaching nanny was very disgusted with him. Not only was he fat, but he was also from the country and knew nothing when asked!

The teaching nanny measured Su Xiaoxiao's size.

"What did you eat to make yourself like this?"

"It's not your rice anyway."

Matron: “…”

To be fair, Su Xiaoxiao's facial features are very delicate, and she is a great beauty with rich facial features. Such facial features are so beautiful that they are unattainable and easily make people feel distant. Coincidentally, she has a cute little round face, which makes her look a little cute and naive.

If she wasn't fat, the head teacher would probably think she was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.

Who made the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty consider thinness as beauty? No matter how pretty a face one has, if one has a lot of flesh on his body, he will attract strange looks.

The teaching nanny did not stay in Lihua Lane for long. After receiving the instructions, she gave a few perfunctory instructions and left.

The governess came out of the yard and prepared to step onto the carriage on a wooden stool.

It happened that the three kids had just finished school at this time. They didn't wait for Su Xiaoxiao to pick them up and ran home panting.

Da Hu ran the fastest, like a small cannon, and he failed to brake in time, and crashed into the carriage of the governess with a bang.

The teaching nanny missed a step and fell face down.

"..." -The next morning, after Su Ergou was taken to the Imperial College by Su Qi and Su Yu, Su Xiaoxiao sent the three kids to the house in the east.

Su Xiaoxiao met Zhang Qinshi again: "I may have to come back in the evening today."

After hearing this, Master Zhang's eyes lit up: "It's okay! Let them stay here! We will take good care of them!"

As he spoke, he looked down at the three children like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, causing Su Xiaoxiao to wonder for a moment whether she had met a human trafficker.

However, the three little ones are very happy to learn here, and Master Zhang and Ling Yun are both good people.

Su Xiaoxiao patted the heads of the three people and said, "You have to behave yourself, understand?"

Musician Zhang: No, no, no, you must not be obedient, beat me to death, don’t hold back your strength.

"I know." The three little ones responded with a giggle.

"Does your head still hurt?" Su Xiaoxiao touched Dahu's forehead, referring to the incident when Dahu accidentally bumped into a carriage yesterday.

The car panels were cracked, but Da Hu was fine.

He is really stubborn.

"It doesn't hurt." Da Hu shook his head, thought for a moment, and nodded, "It hurts a little bit, mommy, blow on it."

Su Xiaoxiao bent over and blew it.

Xiaohu squeezed over and patted his head with his little hands: "I want to blow on the little axe too!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and blew it.

Naturally, the two tigers cannot be left behind.

The three little ones just got some fun and went to school contentedly.

On the other side, Su Mo had arrived.

Su Xiaoxiao got in his carriage and went to the palace.

They arrived late, and the other daughters had already entered the palace. A young eunuch named Sun was waiting for them at the door.

Su Mo handed the other party a purse. Eunuch Sun put the money into his sleeve calmly and took Su Xiaoxiao in with a smile.

This time, there was still a sedan chair waiting, and no eunuch dared to neglect his duty. Su Xiaoxiao sat in the sedan chair and swayed towards the place where the class was to take place - Qilin Hall.

The Qilin Hall is separated from the harem by only a wall.

When approaching the Qilin Hall, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.

Su Xiaoxiao drew aside the curtain and saw the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair and the eunuch Sun who was accompanying them, all of them lowered their heads and looked submissive, as if they were avoiding someone.

Su Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked towards the harem.

A phoenix sedan chair carried by eight eunuchs passed slowly by, and on the sedan chair sat a woman dressed in luxurious palace clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao only caught a glimpse of her profile before the phoenix sedan changed direction and went deeper into the harem.

Judging from her profile and figure, she was no more than thirty years old, but her unattainable demeanor was tinged with a hint of maturity that came from wasting time in the lonely palace.

"Who was that person just now?" Su Xiaoxiao asked Eunuch Sun.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't think she shouldn't ask. Eunuch Sun had received benefits from Su Mo, so he had to do something for him.

The sedan started moving again.

Eunuch Sun looked around, then moved closer to the window and whispered to Su Xiaoxiao, "That one was the Grand Empress Dowager."

"Hmm?" Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Such a young Empress Dowager?"
