Chapter 35 I'm sure he will beat me!
After eating and drinking and feeling too lazy to move, Xiao Mingxuan took his books and planned to make up for the lessons here.

Unexpectedly, the little girl fell asleep after hearing two sentences.

Xiao Mingxuan fell silent. The room was quiet and not a single sound could be heard.

The little girl didn't sleep soundly, as if she was dreaming about something, and there was a hint of sadness between her brows.

Bewitched for a moment, he caressed her young face.

His fingertips stroked his slightly pointed chin, his eyes changed slightly, and he unconsciously pressed harder.

Xihe choked up and showed signs of waking up.

Xiao Mingxuan withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and took a gulp of tea to cover it up, but ended up choking himself and started coughing violently.

As soon as Xihe opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Mingxuan guzzling tea. He subconsciously thought that Xiao Mingxuan was trying to grab the tea, so he quickly patted the cup and said, "Little brother, go slower. There's still plenty of tea. I won't compete with you."

Xiao Mingxuan's face was flushed, but the blush on her neck didn't seem too unusual.

"It's okay. I'm just mad at you." Xiao Mingxuan framed him without blushing or beating his heart.

Xihe blinked, looking suspicious, "Are you sure? When did I make you angry?"

If I remember correctly, she seemed to have just woken up.

Xiao Mingxuan said seriously: "I was giving you a lecture, but you were sleeping, just to irritate me, and you still say it's not you?"

Serious nonsense.

Xihe thought of what he had just done and couldn't help but laugh dryly. "Brother, I didn't mean to say that. I feel so sleepy when I hear all that nonsense. How about we stop talking?"

Xiao Mingxuan closed the book, added some water to the teapot, and then lazily leaned aside with a bowl of hot tea in his hand. "What? You want to hand in a blank paper for the essay?"

Xihe approached him in a flattering manner and asked tentatively, "What will happen if I hand it over? Will I get beaten?"

These poems, songs and discussions about the past and present are really not her forte. Asking her to write poems in the examination room is more painful than killing her.

Xiao Mingxuan gave her a cold look and said, "The Grand Tutor won't do anything. At most, he'll just reprimand you and let it go. But... I don't know whether your father will beat you or not."

Xihe suddenly wilted, and shrank back into the corner, pretending to be a quail, sobbing and sniffling, acting so pitiful.

It was over. She had seen how Emperor Jingyuan examined her homework. If he knew that she had handed in a blank paper, she would probably have a complete childhood.

After the threats were over and the bowl of hot tea was finished, Xiao Mingxuan straightened his collar and picked up the book again, "Do you still want to study?"

Unexpectedly, the little girl said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to learn anymore!"

Xiao Mingxuan paused as he was about to open the book, not believing what he heard. "Are you sure he won't beat you up?"

Xihe sighed, "No, I am sure he will beat me up!"

Although Emperor Jingyuan did not have deep feelings for his children, he took their studies very seriously.

For example, Zhao Zhinan used to be a playboy and frequent brothels, and Emperor Jingyuan turned a blind eye to it. However, once he failed in his studies, he would be punished severely.

Xiao Mingxuan couldn't understand the little girl's train of thought, "What about you?"

Xihe waved her hands, pretending to be ready to die. "The big hole in literary theory cannot be filled even if I am Nuwa. It is better to enjoy these few happy moments."

Xiao Mingxuan was speechless for a while.

I thought she had some magic remedy, but in the end I just had to lie down and accept my fate.

He glanced at the books piled up like a mountain, and reluctantly admitted Xihe's opinion.

It’s indeed a bit much.

Perhaps because he knew that a disaster was about to happen, Xihe was unusually absent-minded today and found everything new to him.

He dragged Xiao Mingxuan to a jewelry store.

Magnificent and dazzling.

The waiter of the jewelry shop was a very discerning man. Seeing that the two men were dressed in luxurious clothes and had elegant conversation, he came up to them with a smile on his face.

"How are you, my dear friends? What would you like to see? We have just received a batch of new jewelry, all of which are top-notch. Would you like to take a look?"

Xiao Mingxuan glanced at the eager little girl and said, "Take them all out and let us see."

The waiter smiled brightly when he heard this, "I'm so tired, please wait a moment, I'll get it right away!"

The waiter took out a tray from behind the curtain, on which were placed many rare items.

Xihe fell in love with one of the peony butterfly hairpins at first sight.

Nothing else, just shiny enough.

Just as she was about to reach out to take it, another pair of hands took the hairpin away first.

"Oh, I didn't expect that you have such a good thing in your little shop. Why didn't you take it out earlier? Do you look down on me?"

I saw a beautiful woman in purple standing sideways, carefully playing with the hairpin in her hand, with arrogance between her brows.

The waiter knew the temper of this young lady and was in a dilemma. "Princess Yinghua, you are joking. How dare I say that?"

Su Yinghua, the only daughter of King Anyuan, the only king of a different surname in this dynasty, is so arrogant and domineering that her reputation is almost as high as Zhao Siyuan's.

Su Yinghua snorted arrogantly, "I don't think you dare. Wrap this hairpin for me."

The waiter looked around and hesitated, "Princess, this hairpin was chosen by this young lady first. We have many new styles in our store. Why don't you take a look at something else?"

Su Yinghua's face changed drastically, and she stretched out her hand and slapped him, "You cunning slave, how dare you talk to this princess like that? Do you believe that I will smash your store?"

Xihe quietly pulled the waiter and barely avoided the slap.

The waiter quickly thanked him.

Seeing that the person had dodged, Su Yinghua's face became ferocious and she became even more angry. She shouted loudly, "You cunning slave! This princess will give you a slap in the face. This is a grace, and you actually dared to hide!"

As he spoke, he called out to the servants beside him, "What are you all standing there for! Capture this fool who doesn't know how to live or die for me!"

Su Yinghua's commotion immediately attracted a large group of people, who pointed and talked here.

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes darkened and he reached out to pull the little girl back to prevent the group of people from accidentally hurting her.

Unexpectedly, the little girl ran forward two steps, moved aside, and blocked the waiter behind her.

"What are you doing? I was obviously the one who saw him first. Why are you still shouting for him to kill you when he is speaking a fair word? You have no shame!"

Xiao Mingxuan felt a headache and thought to himself, "Who always swears in front of a little girl?"

Su Yinghua felt ashamed when she saw a little girl arguing with her. "Since this princess has taken a fancy to you, you lowly people should offer it to her with both hands. You really don't know what you are talking about!"

Xihe was scolded and was in a very bad mood. He was so angry that his teeth were itching.

After thinking about it, a plan came to her mind. She grinned and said, "Why? You have to pay for things. Whoever pays more will get it!"

Su Yinghua had always gotten whatever she wanted since she was a child. She had never suffered such an injustice before. She immediately started to argue with him, "This princess will give you ten taels!"

Xihe followed slowly, "Eleven taels!"

Su Yinghua's face turned red, "Twenty taels!"

Xihe smiled sweetly and added, "Twenty-one taels."

No matter how much the other party said, Xihe just added one or two taels of silver, not in a hurry. Xiao Mingxuan wanted to go up to help, but unexpectedly the little girl's fighting power was amazing, and Su Yinghua was furious. He then leisurely found a place not far away with a smile on his face.

Watch a show!

Seeing the bids getting higher and higher, Su Yinghua could no longer hold on, but Xihe still looked relaxed and contented.

Even if I lose, my dad will pay for it, so what's there to be afraid of!
A not-so-valuable hairpin was asked to cost a hundred taels. Su Yinghua was a little nervous even though she was wealthy. But when she met Xihe's provocative eyes, her rationality was swept away by anger, and she spoke without thinking.

"Two hundred taels!" Su Yinghua shouted, her eyes filled with indignation, "Gold!"

Suddenly, several cold gasps were heard in the store, and Su Yinghua realized belatedly what she had said.

Just as he was about to speak, someone got there first.

"Deal!" Xihe chuckled, pretending to be calm, and said with a smile: "Since you like this hairpin so much, I'll give it to you. I'm a good boy and I won't take away what others love."

Xiao Mingxuan couldn't help laughing behind him and continued to add fuel to the fire. He glanced at the waiter and said, "What are you standing there for? Go to Prince Anyuan's mansion and get the silver. His princess spent 200 taels of gold on a hairpin. She's really generous."

Xihe turned around and gave Xiao Mingxuan a wise look.

One is starting the fire, the other is fanning the flames, they are in cahoots with each other!

There were sneering sounds all around. No matter how stupid Su Yinghua was, she could see that this was a setup. She felt extremely embarrassed, and after the shame, she felt boundless anger.

"Bitch! How dare you defend this princess!" Su Yinghua's eyes were red, and she looked like a monkey, which was very funny.

"Really?" Xihe glanced at the people around him in confusion, "I'm obviously talking to you nicely. My dad always buys things on a first-come-first-served basis. Why are you so fierce?"

"Oh, why are you still scolding me? I'm so scared."

Xihe pretended to hide behind Xiao Mingxuan, acting as if he was extremely frightened.

There were many married women around. Seeing Xihe's frightened and pitiful appearance, they felt heartbroken and started pointing fingers at Su Yinghua.

"This princess is too domineering, bullying a child."

"That's right, you see, you bullied the little girl to the point of making her cry."

Xihe immediately cooperated and shed two tears.

Su Yinghua was very angry at what each person said. Without thinking, she picked up something at hand and threw it down.

"Shut up! You're a bunch of bastards!"

The surroundings suddenly became silent, and Su Yinghua's resentful eyes shot straight at Xihe who was standing beside her.

Seeing that she had no servants and only a maid, she thought she was the daughter of a wealthy family and immediately became even more arrogant. "Who is your father? I robbed him, what can you do?"

Xihe's face darkened slightly.

Anyone who dares to mention her father is unforgivable!

Just as he was about to curse back, a clear voice came from behind, carrying a slight coercive force.

"Who is her father? Why don't we go to the palace and ask him?"

The woman was wearing a red dress that dragged on the ground. Her beautiful appearance showed no expression. She pursed her lips tightly, and it looked like a storm was about to come.

"Greetings to Princess Yuanyang! Giving your best wishes, Your Highness!"

The eldest princess often goes out and has a good reputation, and everyone knows her.

Xihe was a little dazed, with her mouth open, looking at the person who suddenly appeared in shock.

There was a tiny ball standing in the middle of the hall, looking a little dazed. The princess couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

The corners of her eyes slightly raised, and she said softly: "Xiao Liu? Come, let aunt take a look!"

Although Xihe was given a name and title, the eldest princess was still used to calling her Xiaoliu.

"Little aunt!"

Xihe threw herself into Princess Yuanyang's arms as she did in the past, and the princess picked her up as usual.

"Oh, it's a bit heavy. It looks like you ate well."

Princess Yuanyang still remembers that when she first met this child, he was as thin as a little monkey and you could feel his bones when you touched him.

Xihe patted her belly and said, "Third brother's Yunfanglou has so many delicious foods! Aunt, let's go for lunch together!"

Princess Yuanyang touched the little girl's face with a smile, "I appreciate Xiaoliu's kindness, but I have to go to the outskirts of Beijing soon. I will definitely accompany Xiaoliu to eat next time."

Princess Yuanyang was a commander-in-chief before she got married. After she got married, she resigned from her post, but occasionally the army would ask her to go over when there was something going on.

Xihe was a little disappointed, but also understood that business was more important. "Okay, next time I'll ask Dad to come along too! Let's go eat together!"

Princess Yuanyang's face changed slightly. The moment she heard Emperor Jingyuan's words, her arms tightened slightly and a trace of panic flashed across her face.

Afraid that the child might notice something, she forced a smile and agreed.

The aunt and niece were chatting as if no one was around, but they had no idea that the group of people kneeling below were feeling turbulent waves in their hearts.

Especially Su Yinghua, her expression was so ugly that it could not be described.

The child called Princess Yuanyang her aunt, and she was the sixth child.

That could only be the favored Princess Zhaoyuan, Zhao Xihe.

She offended the most favored Sixth Princess!

Or Princess Zhaoyuan, whom Emperor Jingyuan and Concubine Chen protect like the apple of their eye!

Xihe looked at the people below, leaned close to Princess Yuanyang's ear, and said, "Aunt, let them get up. It's quite cold."

Princess Yuanyang nodded with a smile, then turned her face to be dignified. She had been immersed in military affairs for a long time, and even though she had withdrawn, her pressure was still there. "Everyone, stand up."

Everyone stood up to express their gratitude and cast grateful glances towards Xihe.

In this cold winter, the ground is as cold as ice. My knees can't bear it after kneeling for a long time.

Xihe immediately complained to Princess Yuanyang, "Aunt, that bad guy just called daddy a worthless person!"

Su Yinghua shrank her body, not daring to look directly at him. Upon hearing this, she immediately knelt down to apologize, "Your Highness, I am blind and did not mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Princess."

Although she was used to being arrogant and domineering, it was only among the common people. She would never dare to mess with anyone from the royal family.

This damn girl, why didn’t she just reveal her identity earlier? Why are there so many problems!
Su Yinghua even wondered if this damn girl had deliberately tricked her.

Princess Yuanyang glanced at Su Yinghua indifferently, "So this is how Prince Anyuan raised his daughter. It really opened my eyes!"

"Princess, please forgive me! I know I was wrong."

No matter how unruly Su Yinghua was, she was only a little over ten years old. When she faced the murderous eldest princess, she was suppressed and could not even raise her head.

"Oh, and there are two hundred taels of gold!" The little girl added mercilessly, emphasizing, "It's gold!"

The eldest princess raised the corner of her lips slightly, tapped the little girl's nose unhappily, and scolded with a smile: "You little rascal."

She had arrived a long time ago and watched a good show from the back.

Then he ordered the people around him, "Take Princess Yinghua back to the palace and get back the two hundred taels of gold. Also, ask King Anyuan for me, is he planning a rebellion by not educating his daughter properly and disrespecting His Majesty?"
