Eunuch Sun touched the pouch at his waist.

It was heavy and filled with gold.

He hesitated for a moment before telling Su Xiaoxiao.

It turned out that this Grand Empress Dowager was the niece-in-law of the previous emperor.

The late emperor’s brother had a total of three sons, the eldest of whom was also the legitimate son. Naturally, he would be appointed the position of Crown Prince.

However, this legitimate son had been weak since he was young. He relied heavily on medicine and was powerless to govern.

Before Emperor Jing Yuan passed away, he entrusted his son to his biological brother, the late emperor, and conferred the late emperor as the regent, who supervised the country on his behalf.

After the Crown Prince ascended the throne as Emperor Jing Hui, he fell ill every other day. The enemy countries eyed the country covetously and kept starting wars at the border.

At that time, the previous emperor, who was still the Regent, went out to conquer the north and south to calm the world.

Emperor Jing Hui’s body was weak and he did not leave behind a son or a daughter. He also refused to adopt a prince from the side branch. Before he died, he issued an imperial edict to let his uncle, the Regent, inherit the throne.

The Grand Empress Dowager was the queen consort of Emperor Jing Hui. At that time, Emperor Jing Hui had already exhausted his life. She entered the palace to ward away the ill luck for him.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jing Hui died not long after.

That year, she had just turned 13 years old. She was clearly a little girl who Imew nothing. She became the empress without even consummating her marriage and became the Empress Dowager.

The previous emperor had been emperor for two years and had passed away. The fourth prince had ascended the throne and was the current emperor— Emperor Jing Xuan.

Emperor Jing Xuan had been in power for 17 years. The Empress Dowager was only in her early thirties.

“Grand Empress Dowager!”

Accompanied by a delicate voice, a girl in a pink gauze dress ran out of the Qilin Hall.

Because of her cry, the Empress Dowager’s phoenix carriage stopped.

Eunuch Sun continued to explain to Su Xiaoxiao, “That’s Princess Lingxi. She’s extremely doted on by the Grand Empress Dowager.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her and then at the Qilin Hall not far away. She asked, “Is she also here to be a study companion of the princesses?”

“Yes,” Eunuch Sun said.

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “I didn’t see her take the exam yesterday.”

Eunuch Sun smiled. “Ah, Princess Lingxi doesn’t have to take the exam. She has the spot given by the Empress Dowager.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, I understand.” Related family.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Princess Lingxi again.

Since they were connected, she had to remember her appearance.

At this moment, the Grand Empress Dowager turned around and smiled warmly at Princess Lingxi. Su Xiaoxiao suddenly paused.

Her eyebrows…

She blinked, wanting to take a few more glances. Princess Lingxi had already circled to the front of the phoenix carriage, and the Grand Empress Dowager had also turned her head.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the Grand Empress Dowager’s figure in a daze.

Did she miss Madam Li too much?

Or could it be that she had not recalled her for too long and felt guilty? She even saw a hint of her in a stranger’s facial features.

The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of Qilin Hall. Eunuch Sun brought Su Xiaoxiao to the spacious and bright classroom.

There were eight long tables in the classroom, four rows in total.

No one sat in the first row. The tables at the back were very short. The young ladies sat on futons.

Qin Yanran sat in the second row on the left. The daughter of the Leng family sat in the same row, but she was not at the same table as Qin Yanran. She sat on the right.

Miss Hong, who played with Su Xiaoxiao last time, probably failed. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t see her.

Su Xiaoxiao found an empty seat and was about to sit down when the young lady said, “There’s someone here.”

Su Xiaoxiao went to another row and received the same answer.

No one wanted to sit with her.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and went straight to the first row to sit at the long table on the left.

Everyone gasped!

She was in trouble.

This fat girl from the countryside was in big trouble!

She was really blind!

Why didn’t she think about the reason no one dared to sit in the first row?

“See? I told you she was stupid.” “Shh, lower your voice.”

“What are you afraid of? She can’t hear you.”

The daughters in the back row whispered.

Qin Yanran lowered her eyes and flipped through a poetry book she had brought over, seemingly not hearing anything.

Not long after, Princess Hui An came over.

Emperor Jing Xuan had specially instructed that after entering the palace, she would only be a student and could not call herself a princess. Even so, how many people did not treat her as a princess?

Everyone fell silent.

Princess Hui An glanced at the front row and saw an unfamiliar fat girl sitting there. She did not say anything and sat at the right table in the first row.

Since ancient times, the left was respected. Princess Hui An knew very well that the position of the first on the left was Jingning.

However, she wouldn’t care if others dared to snatch the position from Jingning.

How could the daughters know what she was thinking?

They felt that that little fat girl was really lucky to avoid Princess Hui An’s anger.

The entire class was almost there when Princess Jing Ning arrived late.

She came late for a reason. Her face was covered in acne again.

She was ordinary-looking, to begin with, and with this face full of acne, it was simply unbearable to look at.

She wore a veil and a forehead accessory, barely covering most of it, but she did not feel comfortable.

Princess Hui An smiled gloatingly. “Yo, you have bumps on your face again? How many times this year?”

Princess Hui An had a flawless face and delicate skin. Even without applying lotions, her skin was so tender that water could be pinched out.

Her status could not compare to Jingning’s, so she attacked the latter’s appearance.

Princess Jing Ning glanced at her coldly. “If you say another word, I’ll slap your mouth!”

Princess Hui An snorted. “How dare you!” Princess Jing Ning walked forward. “Let’s see if I dare!”

“The teacher is here!” a young lady reminded.

The two princesses stopped fighting for the time being. Princess Hui An rolled her eyes and looked away.

Princess Jing Ning came to her seat.

To her surprise, there was someone sitting in the seat.

The table in the classroom could seat two people, but Jingning and Hui An were princesses. They each had a table.

There was a tacit understanding.

Princess Jing Ning recognized this bold little girl. She was the “pitiful girl” who had been isolated yesterday.

Was she sitting here… expressing goodwill to her?

Because she had lent her the sedan chair yesterday?

Speaking of which, the little girl was quite pitiful.

After all, she was the princess of a country. No matter how those people criticized her behind her back, she would not suffer at all on the surface. Unlike this little girl, who was bullied by a few eunuchs on her first day in the palace—

It was reasonable for her to seek Princess Jingning’s protection. Princess Jingning, who lacked friends, automatically imagined Su Xiaoxiao’s inner thoughts.

The daughters who were waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to be taught a lesson watched helplessly as Princess Jingning sat down beside Su Xiaoxiao.

She had no temper at all.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The teacher came in with the book. Princess Jing Ning calmly opened the book on the table. “I approve.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked confused.

What did she approve?

Was she talking to her?
