Back in the present, when Long'er came to the capital and Jiang Tianxin intervened to stop the fight, Fan Lihua recognized her.
Jiang Tianxin thought that so much time had passed that her childhood playmates had all forgotten her, but unfortunately, Fan Lihua had a good memory.
She went to break up the fight because she had nothing better to do. When she was little, she played with Fan Lihua and Miss Xu Hui. Xu Hui was spoiled from a young age and loved to snatch things from others, including hair ornaments, embroidery, and lanterns.
Even Jiang Tianxin was robbed, as was Fan Lihua.
Jiang Tianxin recognized them both at a glance, especially Xu Hui.
Hey girl, long time no see! You're still as mischievous as ever. Let me take your side.
These people were having a great time. The incident alarmed the Emperor. It was just two young girls fighting, but they made such a fuss. I heard that a guard from the Prince of Zhenbei was also involved.
Is it not big?
A tutor's daughter.
A female imperial censor.
A young lady from the Ministry of Revenue.
The three top beauties of the young ladies' circle are all here. Don't be fooled by the fact that the lady from the Ministry of Revenue is down on her luck. She now has the backing of the Prince of Zhenbei, so she is no slouch when it comes to real power.
After the matter was resolved, Fan Lihua called out to Jiang Tianxin, who was about to leave the yamen, and whispered behind her:
"Jiang Tianxin?"
The girl turned around, looked at Fan Lihua, her face full of surprise and delight.
"You still remember me?"
The stunningly beautiful girl nodded.
Fan Lihua was absolutely stunning, with a beauty that carried an air of righteousness. Many families in the capital wanted her as their daughter-in-law, but they were all scared away by the reputation of Imperial Censor Fan.
There's nothing we can do; this girl's appearance is so perfect that it brings harmony and prosperity to the family.
She doesn't have the seductive look of a vixen, nor is she like a pure, innocent lotus flower; she possesses a dignified and generous nature.
The two whispered to each other at the doorway.
"I thought you were dead. Are you working for the prince now?"
"Yeah, are you doing better than before?"
Fan Lihua smiled, a hint of envy in her eyes. Yes, she was truly outstanding, a personal guard.
"Yes, very good."
Xu Hui also came out with the help of the servants. Before leaving, she stared at Jiang Tianxin for a long time.
She didn't look back after getting into the carriage. When the maid lowered the carriage curtain, the girl smiled, her face covered in scratches and blood.
She doesn't seem to be dead.
This day is Qingming Festival.
On the day when she should have been at home burning paper money for her elders, Fan Lihua, who was now an imperial censor, happened to meet Jiang Tianxin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, at the city gate in the evening.
"Pear Blossom, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see Xu Hui."
"Me too."
Speaking of Xu Hui, Miss Xu.
Although these people had some disagreements, they really didn't have any deep-seated hatred for each other.
I remember that the circle of young ladies in the capital used to be divided into two groups. The circle of young ladies of Fan Lihua and Xu Hui's generation was the most peaceful.
Nothing has ever happened.
For example, there has never been a case of someone stealing whose husband or framing someone for being unjust.
Xu Hui just likes to steal other people's things, but they're just small things, possessions.
But if you ask her to harm others, she won't agree.
We're all human, why joke about someone's innocence? If things get serious, it's like driving someone to their death.
“Xu Huizhen is so delicate. She and my whole family were executed. It’s better to live a miserable life than to die. She’s usually such a picky person, but she insists on doing this.”
Just like when they were children, Jiang Tianxin always disliked Xu Hui.
"She had bad luck," Fan Lihua said quietly.
Imperial Censor Fan looked out the window, while Jiang Tianxin remained silent.
Yes, she had bad luck.
Unlike her two older sisters, Zhiyin and Zhihua, she didn't encounter Mother Cen.
She doesn't seem like it either...
I was just an ordinary person when I met the senior brothers and sisters of Zhanchen Tower.
She is all alone.
She has a delicate and spoiled personality.
It's truly impossible to go on living like this.
A silent atmosphere settled between the two. Jiang Tianxin took a pastry from the food box and put it in her mouth.
"If we let her be like this, she won't even be able to eat her favorite pastries."
Fan Lihua was probably even more heartbroken; Xu Hui died in her arms.
She can no longer eat her favorite food.
This time, the two brought her some novel jewelry from the capital, as well as her favorite pastries. That's all, so she wouldn't have to fight with others down there, and that she would have them even without fighting.
She likes to snatch things because her parents don't pay attention to her.
No need this time.
Xu Hui, you have what others have too.
I said it.
After paying respects to Xu Hui, they chatted for a while, and then the two of them took a carriage back to the capital.
On the way back, the two talked about their childhood.
Back then, Fan Lihua's dream was the same as it is now: to stand with her own father and have all three members of the family become imperial censors.
The mischievous Jiang Tianxin wanted to be a female knight-errant.
Her dream has come true, though perhaps not for long, but she prefers this life of a pampered young lady now.
"My mother must be ecstatic down there; her daughter has made her so proud."
"I think so too."
When Jiang Tianxin returned home, her younger brother Tianyang was still studying hard by lamplight, with a book in hand. The imperial examination was just a year away.
In fact, Jiang Tianyang could have taken the exam with Huo Panlijian, but he didn't.
This boy was also quite competitive and wanted to become the top scholar. After arriving at Fengyue Tower, he exchanged literary talent and knowledge with Huo Panlijian.
The abused children are so bad that they start to question the meaning of life.
Jiang Tianxin said, "Why do you have to compete with her in the same year? Just avoid her. She's so much older than you. We'll be the first new top scholar after Huo Xiaolong ascends the throne. Oh, it's okay, bro."
