She slept late last night and woke up a little late the next day.
The space beside her was empty. Princess Hui An was no longer there.
Cheng Sang and the three children’s laughter came from the courtyard, accompanied by the shouts of Mei Ji and Yuchi Xiu.
It was much more lively.
She just couldn’t hear Princess Hui An’s voice.
Su Xiaoxiao dressed up and went to the ear room to wash up. She opened the door and walked out.
The others were noisy. Princess Hui An sat quietly on the stone stool under the corridor.
Su Xiaoxiao preferred her noisy appearance. She was not used to her sudden silence.
“Huahua.”
Su Xiaoxiao walked over.
Huahua was Princess Hui An’s nickname. Since she had come to the Cheng family, it was not good to call her princess.
Princess Hui An turned around. “You’re awake?”
Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside her. “Did you sleep well last night?”
Princess Hui An said, “I couldn’t sleep.”
“I’ll get someone to lay one more bed for you later.” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Have you had breakfast?”
Princess Hui An said, “Yes.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you want to go out for a walk?”
Princess Hui An was stunned. “Can I?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Of course. You’re a guest of the Cheng family, not a prisoner. The Cheng family can walk around as they please. Just teach the disrespectful servants a lesson if you encounter them.”
Princess Hui An lowered her eyes. “I don’t want to cause you trouble.”
She already knew not to cause trouble. While Su Xiaoxiao marveled at her growth, she couldn’t help but sigh for her.
She thought of the three children. Would they leave behind their carefree past one day and grow into responsible, and considerate young men? “Dahu, come and catch me! Come, come! Erhu, come too!”
Xiaohu was always the one who was caught.
Today was different. He was with Cheng Sang. Cheng Sang carried him and ran very quickly. It was not easy to catch him.
Su Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze from the children and said to Princess Hui An, “When I was in the palace, I always caused trouble. Huahua has never found me troublesome.”
“Then… that’s true. You still know that you like to cause trouble.” Princess Hui An recalled her days in the capital and her eyes lit up.
“I already said that I will protect you. There’s no need for you to curry favor with Jingning!” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Yes, when we return to the capital, I’ll have to rely on
Huahua.”
Princess Hui An raised her chin and said arrogantly, “You’re my sidekick. Don’t worry, you just have to do whatever you want in the capital!”
With a few words, Princess Hui An felt much better. She decisively joined Cheng Sang and the three little ones to play with them.
Erhu and Xiaohu had once been to the palace and were recognized as illegitimate children by Emperor Jing Xuan. Princess Hui An now knew the truth.
However, she would not betray her little sidekick.
Su Xiaoxiao said to the public that Princess Hui An was her old friend in Cloud Water Town. Her surname was Xiao and her name was Hua. She came to the residence to stay for a few days.
Cheng Sang welcomed her.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care if the others were welcoming.
Last night, she discussed a plan with Wei Ting to sow discord between the Saintess and the King of the Southern Wilderness. Coincidentally, today was the day Eunuch Jin went to the bird market.
Su Xiaoxiao ate a simple meal and asked Uncle Quan to prepare a bird cage to bring Wuhu out.
Wuhu refused to enter the bird cage.
Su Xiaoxiao coaxed, “Be good. It’s just for a while. I’ll let you out soon.”
Wuhu refused hideously.
Su Xiaoxiao placed two pieces of bird food in the cage.
Wuhu snorted, “Can I be easily defeated with two bird food?”
Wuhu raised the price. It wanted 10! Su Xiaoxiao said, “As long as you do it, I’ll give you 20, let alone 10!”
Wuhu decisively entered the cage.
As soon as it entered, it sensed that something was wrong.
Had it been scammed by an unscrupulous master?
It had been sloppy!
