The person who spoke suddenly had a bad feeling. He turned around and saw Grand Secretary Gu asking with a cold expression, “Official Xu, Official Zheng,
Official Chen…”
“Did you eat a lot of breakfast?”
They understood that he was scolding them for having nothing better to do.
Of course, Grand Secretary Gu’s dissatisfaction was not just reflected in a sentence of mockery. That day in the court, he reported all of them in. His words were gentle and his attitude was polite, but it made them feel ashamed.
After the court assembly, Grand Secretary Gu walked out of the hall first, but he did not leave quickly like usual. Instead, he slowly took out a small package
from his sleeve.
Someone smelled the fragrance and asked, “What is this?”
Grand Secretary Gu replied proudly, “My granddaughter, Xiaoxiao, prepared small biscuits for me. She’s afraid that I’ll starve in the morning.”
Everyone was speechless.
They would beat up anyone who said that Grand Secretary Gu did not have a good relationship with the General’s Residence!
Look at how this old fellow was enjoying himself!
After knowing what had happened, Xiao Ran was even more direct. For some reason, when those gossipy officials left the palace, their legs went weak and they fell until their faces were swollen.
That night, Grand Secretary Gu stayed at the General’s Residence again. He said that his son’s food was delicious and he wanted to eat a few more meals.
Say that he didn’t have a good relationship with Chang’an? Say that he actually didn’t like his precious granddaughter, Xiaoxiao?
Bullsh*t!
When the rumors here subsided, Noble Consort Ji had just apologized to the
Empress and returned, but the Empress was still unhappy.
“I don’t know what she’s going to do. We agreed that she would beg His Majesty and I would go straight to the General’s Residence. It should be foolproof. How did the Third Prince intercept her?”
“I shouldn’t have agreed to let her go to His Majesty just because she wanted to
help so much!”
“She can’t do anything right, but she can ruin everything!
The nanny echoed at the side. At least she was appeased. Thinking of the Emperor’s attitude towards her that day in the Xiao Family, the Empress was also a little anxious. “No, Xiao Ran and Third Prince have been in the limelight recently. If we let them continue jumping around, how will the Crown Prince lead in the future?”
“Tell the family that dehydrated vegetables can start promoting.
A few days later was the opening day of “There’s a Book House” in the Imperial Capital. Before dawn, there were already many people standing at the door of the book house. Most of them looked like students, but their clothes were rather poor.
They were excited and nervous now. Ever since they heard that the Imperial Capital was going to build a library for students to read for free, they had been tossing and turning, unable to sleep. They did not know if they should believe it.
They learned that some people had specially asked around and confirmed that there really was such a book house in Xijiang County. It only cost 10 copper coins every time they entered. They could stay as long as they wanted after entering. Moreover, they could read all the books at will. They wished they could immediately see the book house open.
They had finally waited until today. They were already guarding here before dawn.
Xiaoxiao understood everyone’s urgency, so the opening ceremony was very simple. After getting her grandfather, Grand Secretary Gu, to help cut the ribbon, she got someone to open the unique door.
Whether it was the nobles or ordinary families, their doors at home were similar. The only difference was the materials and exquisiteness. However, this book house was different. Xiaoxiao had gotten someone to make a folding door. At this moment, when the door, which was several times wider than a high door, was opened, the spectacular bookshelves in the bookhouse immediately attracted countless exclamations.
When it was first built, those who saw the bookshelves only knew that they looked ordinary. No one expected what it would be like when these bookshelves were filled with books.
To the commoners, it was countless books. To the students, it was simply a paradise, a paradise in their dreams!
“Is it true that all books can be read?”
As the page boys arranged at the door patiently explained the rules, the students, who had long been impatient, could not wait to enter. They chose the books they wanted and immersed themselves.
The page boy was still explaining.
“If any family has books that we don’t have here and you’re willing to lend them to us to make copies for the bookshelves, you’ll receive the reward of reading for free in all ‘There’s a Book House’ for life.”
Xiaoxiao told Rong Yan, “In this case, it’s only logical for me to secretly change books from the Space Mall in the future!”
She was always so smart, so attentive, and so caring.
However, she left her fame to others.
Someone was discussing. “Hey, do you know that the books here are made with a new printing technique? I heard that after His Majesty implements this method, the prices of the books will be much cheaper in the future. Ordinary people can afford them too!”
“Really? Then can my Fur Egg also study?”
“Why would I lie to you? I heard that the person who came up with this method was the Third Prince!”
“Third Prince? The Third Prince who just beat up Xiongnu until he wet his pants? He’s really amazing!”
Looking at Xiaoxiao’s proud face, Rong Yan plucked a fallen leaf from her head.
“Is this really good?” Giving him all the glory.
Xiaoxiao smiled evilly and said, “Then you can’t expect me to take the initiative to ask His Majesty for a marriage, right?”
“in that case, someone will definitely say that I don’t know shame, desperate to marry a prince, and clinging to a high branch…
The rest of her words were covered by Rong Yan’s mouth. She chuckled and tickled Rong Yan. Outside the carriage, Yun Er and Yun Shu looked at each other and smiled. They both felt that life was peaceful.
It would be even better if the Yan Family stopped causing trouble.
It was unknown if it was because they wanted to get along with Rong Yan, but the Yan Family suddenly said that they wanted to hold a flower appreciation banquet at this juncture and even specially sent a post to Xiaoxiao with great fanfare.
“If the princess doesn’t go, it means she won’t give our empress face, in name, the Empress only invited women of the appropriate age to admire the flowers, but anyone with discerning eyes could tell that she was choosing a consort for the Crown Prince.
That was true. The Third Prince was already engaged, but the Crown Prince didn’t even have a main princess consort. It really didn’t make sense.
However, Xiaoxiao was about to complain. “I’m already engaged. There’s no need to ask me to go, right?”
This child was not shy at all when it came to marriage. Xiao Ran said helplessly, “It’s just for show. You’re a princess after all. At the same time, you’re probably showing your magnanimity to the Emperor. We’ve already rejected the Crown Prince, but she still invited you openly.” She hated these pretenses the most. “Why don’t you pretend to be sick and not go?”
Xiaoxiao shrugged. “I feel that according to the Empress and the Yan Family’s style, if I really say that I’m sick, they can get the imperial doctor here immediately.”
That was true. The Yan Family was just so domineering and unreasonable.
Xiao Ran was worried. “Why don’t I go with you?
Whoever dared to stop her would be beaten up until they shut up.
Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh. “Mother, why do I feel that I haven’t weaned in your eyes?”
“We’re in public. You said that I’m a princess. Who can do anything to me?”
“Ah, but choose two strong and smart female guards for me.”
One must not have the intention to harm others, but one must be wary of others.
Xiao Ran felt that this was fine. Her female soldier could fight 10 men on her own. “Alright. If anyone dares to provoke you, beat them to death. If they’re not convinced, I’ll go to their house to continue beating them up. Just a little. You won’t suffer any losses and won t be angry!
“Father and Mother can protect you..”
