Qin Jue was stunned when he heard Xiao Xi'er's words. He had never expected that Xiao Xi'er would think of donating her favorite jewelry.
Qin Jue reached out and patted Xiao Xi'er's head.
"Father isn't so poor that he needs Little Xi'er to donate her favorite jewelry."
"But it's good that Xiaoxi has this idea."
Qin Jue praised Xiao Xi'er, who wasn't even as tall as his waist. But this didn't satisfy Xiao Xi'er.
"don't want"
"Father, your money is yours; my money is mine."
As she spoke, Xiao Xi'er thought of her time at the palace school.
"Grand Tutor Situ once said that everyone's identity is different, and therefore, the things they need to do are different."
"At that time, I asked Grand Tutor Situ this question: why are they different? Grand Tutor Situ said that a general must protect the country and not harm even the smallest ant; a civil official must write and not deceive the people."
Father is His Majesty, the ruler of the world, and must always think of the people.
But Father, I am a princess, your daughter. I must also think of the common people!
Xiao Xi'er, with her still chubby little face, spoke earnestly to Qin Jue.
Qin Jue looked at Xiao Xi'er with satisfaction.
"Alright, in that case, Father won't stop you."
"Uh-huh"
Little Xi was happy, and then suddenly stood still.
"Father, go and rest for a while. Sister Xiaju said that dinner will be ready soon."
I'm going to sort out the things I want to donate.
"good"
Qin Jue watched as Xiao Xi'er ran to the side hall until Qiu Mei called her several times before she finally came out at mealtime.

Yunfeng Pavilion
Wei, terrified, threw the cat to the ground, yelling, "You bitch!"
After the white cat was thrown to the ground, it ran out of Yunfeng Pavilion with its fur standing on end.
"They're all despicable people!"
Seeing Wei Linglong like this, Bai Cai immediately knelt down with the palace maids and eunuchs behind him.
"I never expected her to be so capable, managing to dine with His Majesty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a whole month."
He even received His Majesty's favor for a whole month!!!
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
Bai Cai kowtowed to Wei Jingkong, trying to calm her down. Hearing his words of reassurance, Wei Linglong became even more agitated. She squatted down and grabbed Bai Cai by the neck.
"Calm down?"
"Since you want me to calm down, then you'll have to pay with your life."
Hearing that he had to trade his life for it, Bai Cai was terrified. He felt the hand on his neck tightening more and more, and finally, Bai Cai stammered...
"Mother...Mother, I...I have...a way."
Upon hearing this, Wei Linglong released her grip on Bai Cai's neck, but continued to hold him tightly.
"Since...since she's so favored, then...then let her never...never be favored again..."
Hearing this, Wei Linglong understood, then laughed twice and shook off Bai Cai's neck.
Bai, feeling a sudden lightness on her neck, took a deep breath of fresh air.
After releasing Bai Cai's neck, Wei Linglong stood up, picked up a handkerchief from the table, and began wiping her hands.
"In that case, you can do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After speaking, Bai Cai remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to move, since Wei Linglong had not yet spoken.
"Why aren't you going yet?"
"Yes, this servant will take her leave now."
As Bai Cai spoke, he scrambled to his feet and ran towards the door. Led by Bai Cai, the other palace maids and eunuchs all stood up and ran outside.
Some palace maids and eunuchs breathed a sigh of relief as they left Yunfeng Pavilion.
They then gathered in small groups.
A young eunuch started the discussion.
"What's wrong with Consort Yan these past few years? Why is her temper getting more and more volatile?"
"yes"
"Have you heard? People are dying at Yunfeng Pavilion every now and then, and they're always bled dry."
Don't scare me!
"It's true. Let's get away from Yunfeng Pavilion without saying anything more."
The palace maids and eunuchs walked faster and faster, heading straight back to their respective quarters.
That night, two more people died in Yunfeng Pavilion: a eunuch and a palace maid.
But no one asked, no one dared to speak, and the news was thus kept inside Yunfeng Pavilion.
"Bai Cai"
In the middle of the night, Wei Linglong woke up and called out to Bai Cai.
Bai, who was called out to, realized that Wei Linglong was thirsty and needed to drink "tonifying soup," so he brought her a bowl of red tonifying soup.
After Wei Linglong took the bowl, she began to drink. After finishing, she handed the bowl to Bai Cai.
"I suddenly remembered someone."
"Whom is Your Highness referring to?"
Bai Cai placed the bowl on the table, walked to Wei Linglong's side, and respectfully asked...
"The Cold Palace, Hong Chunyi"
Bai Cai didn't quite understand, but this time Wei Linglong didn't lose her temper.
"You went and instigated Hong Chunyi to join you..."
"yes"
Bai Cai naturally understood what Wei Linglong meant.
"Go down"
Bai Cai bowed to Wei Linglong and then left. After Bai Cai left, Wei Linglong got out of bed.
Reaching the corner of the wall, they took out a small brocade box from the box there.
He opened the brocade box, which was full of pills. He randomly picked one up and started eating it.

Xiao Xi'er got up early for once today and saw Qin Jue preparing to go to court.
So, Xiao Xi'er, still half asleep, walked over to Qin Jue's side, tugged at his clothes, and said in a soft, sweet voice...
"Father, are you going to court?"
"Yes, why are you up so early? Has the sun risen in the west?"
