Qin Yanran said earnestly, “Where did you buy the zither? Were you deceived?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly imagined Su Xiaoxiao being greedy but ended up being scammed.
Lin Ruyue smiled mockingly. “Someone wanted to buy the Nine Phoenix, but she didn’t know what was good for herself and bought a fake one. Didn’t you think that the Nine Phoenix could be obtained casually?”
“What happened?”
Princess Jingning’s voice suddenly appeared behind everyone.
The back of everyone’s heads turned cold. They immediately stopped mocking Su Xiaoxiao and returned to their seats.
Princess Jingning sat down beside Su Xiaoxiao.
There were only two zither tables in the corridor. Princess Jing Ning and Su Xiaoxiao sat in the first row. When Princess Hui An arrived, there was only the second row left.
Princess Hui An didn’t think that Su Xiaoxiao had snatched her seat. After all, one of the seats in the first row was definitely Jingning’s. After all, Jingning was the legitimate princess.
As for the seat beside Jingning, hmph, she wouldn’t sit there even if she was beaten to death!
She didn’t really want to sit behind Jingning.
Qin Yanran helped her out at the right time. “Princess Hui An, come here and sit.”
She gave her seat in the third row to Princess Hui An.
She sat behind Princess Jingning.
She heard Princess Jingning instruct the little palace maid beside her, “Go to the storeroom and get a zither.”
Taozhi was about to agree when Su Xiaoxiao said, “There’s no need. My zither is quite good.”
“What’s so good about it? It’s all broken.” Princess Jing Ning paused. She probably felt that the little girl did not want to trouble her, so she said, “I’ll exchange with you.”
Qin Yanran suspected that she had heard wrongly.
What kind of bewitching potion did this little fat girl give Princess Jingning? She actually made Princess Jingning take the initiative to exchange her zither with her!
However, what was even more shocking was yet to come.
“No, thank you.”
That girl actually rejected her!
‘Why?” Princess Jingning thought to herself. There was no need to be embarrassed. She was qualified to be arrogant because of her favor.
Su Xiaoxiao said bluntly, “1 don’t know if Xiaohu agrees to you touching his zither.”
Princess Jingning was speechless.
The teacher of the music class was a great musician from the palace. His surname was Gao, and he was proficient in music. He was good at the zither, luan zither, and flute. He was an outstanding teacher.
He also noticed Su Xiaoxiao’s Luanzheng.
However, like everyone present, he had never seen the real Nine Phoenix, but he had seen many imitation zithers.
This imitation was very clumsy. It was old and tattered, and even the paint had fallen off. There was also a knife mark on the end of the zither. It could not be more fake.
Master Gao snorted coldly and did not want to look at her anymore.
Most of the daughters of the palace school had some foundation in music. For example, Qin Yanran was good at the zither, Hu Biyun was good at the luan zither, Miss Wang was good at the flute, and so on. However, the palace academy was mainly for the two princesses. The others were only accompanying students.
If the princesses did not know music, they had to learn from the beginning.
Teacher Gao started with the structure of the Luanzheng and the five notes of the pentatonic scale.
Princess Hui An was confused. The music she played was comparable to Xiaohu’s.
She had inherited Consort Xian’s beauty and brains.
Princess Jingning was also a beginner in Luan Zheng, but the comprehension she displayed insta-killed her idiot of a sister.
Qin Yanran had the foundation of the zither and learned it quite quickly.
The two students that Master Gao was most satisfied with were Qin Yanran and Princess Jingning.
Princess Hui An was an existence that gave Master Gao a headache, but she was a princess, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and teach her.
Next was Leng Zhiruo. Her Luanzheng was also a mess.
“Do you know how to do it?” Princess Jingning asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes.”
Princess Jing Ning looked at her suspiciously. ‘Really? Why do I think you don’t?’
Today, there were most theories and they did not study music scores seriously. They were at the stage where everyone played the same tune when Teacher Gao instructed.
The zither music mixed together and was not obvious for a moment. “Is the Grand Empress Dowager still healthy?”
While resting, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Princess Jingning.
Princess Jing Ning looked at her in confusion. “Why are you suddenly asking about the Grand Empress Dowager?”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t say that she was here to confirm if the Grand Empress Dowager had returned to the palace safely last night.
She told her what had happened in the peach garden during the day.
Hearing that there were poisonous snakes, Princess Jingning frowned.
She had grown up in the palace since she was young. How could she be brainless? She was not an idiot like Hui An.
Someone was clearly plotting against the Grand Empress Dowager.
“Actually… I’ve heard some rumors…” Princess Jingning looked around. The young ladies who had gone to the toilet together returned one after another.
Princess Jingning did not continue. She only said, “I saw her in the pavilion this morning. She looks fine. The old lady shouldn’t be too frightened.”
This was a respectful address, but the Grand Empress Dowager was actually a few years younger than the Empress.
Su Xiaoxiao stroked the strings. “Oh.”
In the afternoon, it was Master Jiang’s class. The first class was the Analects of Confucius, and the second class was the Classic of Poems.
It was another ordinary day.
After school, Su MO came to pick Su Xiaoxiao up.
Seeing that the Eldest Young Master only had eyes for a little girl from the countryside, the daughters were extremely jealous.
Hu Biyun was also very jealous.
The Hu family was not a very prominent family. It was only with the recommendation of the Third Prince that the Hu family obtained a spot to participate in the selection.
She lived up to everyone’s expectations and got into the palace academy. Her father also lived up to everyone’s expectations and became the Court Commissioner of the Imperial Hospital. Recently, the betrothal candidates had almost broken through the threshold of the Hu family.
However, she paid heed to none of those young masters.
Of course, she also understood that a family like the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate was not something the Hu family could reach.
Unless… Su MO took a fancy to her himself.
Hu Biyun suddenly regretted falling out with Su Xiaoxiao yesterday. If she roped her in, could she— Su Mo’s carriage left.
The curtain was lifted by the wind.
Hu Biyun saw the man in the clouds handing a jar of walnuts to the little fat girl with a smile in his eyes.
After arriving home, Su Xiaoxiao followed Dahu’s instructions and went to the third house east.
The courtyard door was open.
Su Xiaoxiao stood outside the door and asked, “Excuse me, is anyone there?”
A man about Su Cheng’s age yawned and slowly walked out. “Who are you looking for?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m looking for Uncle Liu.” “Ah, you’re Dahu’s mother, right?”
The other party seemed to have woken up instantly.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “…I am.”
The other party smiled. “I’m Liu Sihe. You can call me Old Liu! Are you looking for a carpenter?”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Huh?”
Liu Sihe smiled and said, “Dahu came over at noon to greet me!”
Su Xiaoxiao thought that the child was going to become a demon at socializing!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I need to make a plaque. In addition, I want to build some furniture and two wooden walls.”
Liu Sihe said professionally, “Do you have blueprints for the furniture and wooden walls?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao took out a folded blueprint from her pouch, unfolded it, and handed it to him..
