Chapter 1364 -1012: Master, You Are in Trouble

Li Yanyan’s heart was in turmoil, something Xiaosuisui was naturally unaware of.

At this moment, she was in Cining Palace listening to Da Feng delivering news with schadenfreude.

“Master, you’re in trouble. Empress Dowager Xiao intends to personally discipline you!”

Xiaosuisui transmitted her voice asking, “How does Grandma plan to discipline me?”

Da Feng replied, “I don’t know this. I only know Empress Dowager Xiao is determined. If she doesn’t discipline you well today, she won’t rest!”

Xiaosuisui: “…”

Yuanyang saw Madam Xiao leading Xiaosuisui over and hurried inside to report to the Empress Dowager.

“Quickly let her in, it’s so hot outside, don’t let my good granddaughter get overheated.”

Madam Xiao, who was leading Xiaosuisui into the palace, twitched her lips upon hearing this.

Who knows who had been clamoring to properly educate Chang Rongshun and the Princess, even saying that if she’s truly unruly, she’ll be punished to stand outside under the scorching sun, and can’t come inside until she pledges to study well?

Now, this person hadn’t even stood under the sun for a while, yet she’s hastily letting her inside.

“Grandma! Suisui has come to see you, are you well?”

Xiaosuisui, upon entering the Empress Dowager’s sleeping quarters, ran over to embrace Empress Dowager Xiao, cuddling up to her in a burst of endearing sweetness!

The little child, soft and cuddly, adorably charming, spoke with syrupy sweetness.

Empress Dowager Xiao’s heart instantly melted.

“My dear little treasure has finally come to see me, let me have a look at you, you little rascal, secretly went to Nanjiang and didn’t come to see me, I missed you to death.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui rolled her eyes, put on a glum face, and pretended to sigh.

“Grandma, you don’t know, when Suisui was in Nanjiang slaying that big devil Xunyang, I was seriously injured, and after returning, I thought of recuperating for a few days. Once my health improved, I planned to come to see you in the palace. But unexpectedly, someone at home suddenly remembered that Suisui is still a child and should study seriously, and heartlessly sent Suisui to the Royal Academy!”

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao spoke with distressed affection, “You got injured? Let me see, where are you hurt? Why didn’t you properly recuperate at the mansion? Who’s idea was it for you to attend the school, tell me and I will scold them!”

Standing aside, Madam Xiao wanted to cover her face: Empress, what was your original intention, anyhow?

“Well… Suisui doesn’t know whose idea it was! Grandma, Suisui now feels so tired, can Suisui stay in the palace? Let Suisui live with you in the palace for a few years?”

Empress Dowager Xiao immediately replied, “Alright, alright! You can stay in the palace as long as you want! Not just for a few years, you can stay for a lifetime if you like!”

Empress Dowager Xiao readily agreed and quickly had someone prepare a boudoir for Xiaosuisui.

Xie Pan’Er and the Emperor, upon hearing about the matter, couldn’t help but drop their jaws, amazed that their precious daughter had grown more adept at coaxing people.

“Why does this child just not like studying?”

The Emperor whispered in perplexity.

Xie Pan’Er said, “Although she used to resist writing, she was willing to write prescriptions and last time she recorded Minister Lu’s mental activities. But now, it is said she would rather die than write a single word.”

“Not picking up a pen to write, what’s the reason behind this?”

The Emperor paced around in Kunning Palace, repeatedly pondering this question.

“Oh dear, Your Majesty, stop pacing, you’re making me dizzy.”

“I just can’t understand why Suisui suddenly doesn’t want to write?”

“If she doesn’t write, she doesn’t write! She is the Princess Chang Rongshun, who can force her to write if she doesn’t want to? Haven’t you seen even Empress Dowager is at a loss?”

These words by Xie Pan’Er suddenly reminded the Emperor of a question.

“Is she unable to write or unwilling to write?”

Xie Pan’Er asked, “Is there a difference?”

“There is a difference!”

The Emperor muttered, then said to Xie Pan’Er, “You rest first, I’ll go find Ji Youze for some answers!”

Ji Youze was about to get married, but before the wedding, he still lived in the palace. He was not surprised to see the Emperor coming, but upon hearing the Emperor’s purpose, he was quite astonished.

“What’s there to investigate about Suisui not picking up the pen to write?”

“Aren’t you curious why she suddenly doesn’t want to write?”

“What’s there to be curious about? In the Ji Family, whether our children want to do something or not, isn’t it up to them?

Besides, she’s your personally conferred Princess Chang Rongshun, if she doesn’t want to write, who in this world can force her?”

The Emperor: “…” The Emperor’s Empress and Ji Youze are only sworn siblings, but how come they can speak so alike?

Ji Youze, feeling the Emperor’s stare, raised an eyebrow and said, “What? Did I say something wrong?”

The Emperor: “…” Ha ha! You’re right, you’re always right!

Without getting an answer about Suisui, the Emperor switched topics.

“Ji Old General has returned, about the military power…”

“You stop there, it’s impossible for him to regain command, you should reassure Prince Yan and the others.”

“Ah… I don’t mean that!”

“You don’t mean it, but it doesn’t mean others don’t. He’s back to enjoy his twilight years, once the time comes, he will leave.”

These words by Ji Youze led the Emperor to misunderstand, thinking Ji Youze’s “leave” meant death.

Instantly filled with admiration for Ji Youze.

“You really are a person who sees through life and death, speaking of such matters as if casually eating and drinking.”

Got up and left.

Left Ji Youze in bewilderment.

Xiaosuisui was having great fun in the palace, riding on Da Feng across the Imperial Palace daily.

Occasionally, Da Feng would fly higher, and when nobody was watching, he’d take her out of the palace, quietly landing on the Ji Family rooftop; then she’d stealthily keep company with her grandmother, sometimes checking Zhu Xiuxiu’s pulse while she slept, making sure her pregnancy was smooth before riding back to the Imperial Palace.

How could her little tricks escape the Ji Family’s notice, especially Ji Shang who’s lived for centuries?

“Maybe this child has something on her mind!”

Ji Shang spoke to Ji Youyuan.

This was the first time Ji Shang spoke alone with Ji Youyuan after coming back. The long-separated father and son, each holding a wine jar, sat on the rooftop, sipping at their leisure.

“If she doesn’t want to talk, we won’t ask. Regardless of how long she stays at Ji Family, let her stay happy.”

“Wanting her to be happy, yet forcing her to attend school?” Ji Shang jabbed at his vulnerable spot.

“That wasn’t me who sent her, it’s Grandma who always thinks she’s Xi’Er, who loves reading and remembers everything.”

Ji Shang: “…” This jabbed at his own heart this time.
