It was night.

Su Xuan returned to Elder Lou’s residence.

Elder Lou mostly lived in the Holy Maiden Temple, and she had no family to settle down with, so she only set up a small courtyard.

Elder Lou couldn’t be bothered to deal with the two young people and returned to her room to rest early.

Princess Hui An was not asleep. She was waiting in the courtyard.

After looking around, he was finally back.

However, it was impossible for her to get up to welcome him. After all, she was a princess and had to put on airs.

“Why did you take so long?” Princess Hui An muttered unhappily.

Su Xuan handed her a bag of snacks wrapped in Ruo leaves. “The rice cakes from that shop were sold out. I went to a few more shops before I could buy them.’

Princess Hui An brought over the rice cake that was still emitting heat. She

opened the leaf and handed him a piece. “Here.”

Su Xuan smiled. “Princess, eat it yourself. I’m not hungry.”

Princess Hui An raised her chin arrogantly and said seriously, “If you don’t test the poison for me, how can I eat it?”

“I see.” Su Xuan took the rice cake and took a bite slowly. “It’s not too sweet. The rice fragrance is very strong. It’s not poisonous.”

Princess Hui An tasted a piece.

She didn’t like to eat anything too sweet. This time, the rice cake was just right.

Thinking of something, she suddenly said, “Su Xuan, have I gained weight by eating so much?”

Su Xuan smiled. “No.”

Princess Hui An felt relieved. “That’s good.”

She finished the rice cake in her hand.

Then, she sat in the courtyard and stopped moving.

Su Xuan asked, “Isn’t the princess going to bed?”

Princess Hui An whispered, “I… am still a little afraid of snakes.”

Su Xuan looked around and said, “There’s snake repellent powder sprinkled here. There won’t be any snakes.”

Although he said that, Princess Hui An was still very afraid.

Only those who had experienced it personally could understand that fear.

Princess Hui An straightened her back and ordered, “You… will be my palace guard. You will keep watch tonight!”

After saying that, she was actually not sure if Su Xuan would agree. After all, Su Xuan was just a weak scholar. Perhaps he was also afraid of snakes. A certain princess had completely forgotten who it was who had thrown out the snake the last time.

Su Xuan said, “Okay.”

Princess Hui An went to wash up and lay on the soft bed.

She was very noble. Although she had been travelling, she did not suffer much.

As a princess who had grown up in luxury, she did not find this strange. It was only when she saw those poor commoners that she realized that she had never seen the hardships of the world.

“Su Xuan,” Princess Hui An called him softly.

“Huh?” Su Xuan replied.

Princess Hui An said in a low voice, “Do you think the lives of the commoners are so bitter?”

Su Xuan flipped a page of the book. “Most of them are working for their livelihood. Some are doing well. If they meet a wise ruler and establish a peaceful world, the people will be rich. If the emperor isn’t capable , the people will not be able to live.”

Princess Hui An thought for a moment. “Is my father… a wise ruler?”

Su Xuan threw the topic to her. “What do you think, Princess?”

In the past, she had thought that her father was a wise ruler, but when she saw that the commoners were living so hard, she was no longer sure.

“The problem of the deficit in the treasury has been there since the previous Emperor was in power. His Majesty has diligently ruled the country and changed the tax law greatly to fill some gaps, but the treasury is still not full.” Su Xuan cleverly avoided the topic of whether Emperor Jing Xuan was a wise ruler.

Princess Hui An nodded.

She felt sleepy whenever they talked about state affairs.

If Jingning was here, she would not be tired from chatting about state affairs all night.

But she couldn’t.
