Wasn’t it a slap in the face?
They did not expect their little cousin’s snacks to be so delicious.
At first, they thought that it was not much and even gave out a few. Now that they thought about it, they were really regretful!
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “But there’s nothing else. I’ll make it for you tomorrow.”
Su Ergou hesitated for a moment and said to the two of them, “I’ll give you a little.”
The two of them were overjoyed and got into the carriage with smiles.
After arriving at the Directorate, the two of them looked at the small pieces of snacks in their hands and their smiles froze on their lips.
What this kid said… was really a little…
After lunch, Su MO brought the results of the princess’s study.
Su Xiaoxiao was chosen.
This was not the result of Su Xiaoxiao’s hard work, but it was expected.

After lunch, Su MO brought the results of the princess’s study.
Su Xiaoxiao was chosen.
This was not the result of Su Xiaoxiao’s hard work, but it was expected.
The reason why she had to go was to try and see if she could be chosen even if she threw the game.
As expected, Emperor Jing Xuan really did not care that she had married someone.
Not to mention that she only had a husband in name, even if she did have a legitimate marriage, once her father obtained military power, Emperor Jing Xuan would still give her an imperial edict to betroth her.
“The royal family really knows how to play.”
She flipped through the admission invitation that Su MO had brought. It was in gold foil and was engraved with the emblem of the royal family. It was stamped with the big seal of the Ministry of Rites. It was a proper official doc.u.ment.
“What are you thinking?” Su MO said.
“When is the enrollment?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“You… really want to go?” Su MO was surprised.
She had gone to partic.i.p.ate to confirm her guess. Now that her guess was confirmed, there was no need to get involved in this mess. “You can only choose between Wei Ting and military power.”
If she wanted Wei Ting, she had to reject the Third Prince’s marriage. Then, Emperor Jing Xuan would definitely choose to let Qin Yanran marry into the royal family with military power.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Only children make choices.”
Su MO looked at her in shock. “This is a dead end.”
Su Xiaoxiao patted the gold leaf invitation in her hand. “We’ll know after we try.”
If she tried, the success or failure would be 50% each. However, if she did not even try, she would not even have a chance of success.
Madam Li had once said that it was not for the results that she fought. It was because she fought hard that there was a result.
The thought flashed across her mind.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she hadn’t thought of Madam Li for a long time.
After Su MO left, the teacher in the palace came to visit.
There were two main goals: to tailor clothes for Su Xiaoxiao and to teach her the rules of the palace.
Su Xiaoxiao was not the only one who received such treatment. The other daughters also received an instructor nanny at their residences.
The difference was that the daughters of those aristocratic families had learned etiquette since they were young and had entered the palace several times. They were quite familiar with the palace rules, and the instructors were just going through the motions.
Su Xiaoxiao was confused and didn’t even know the emperor’s surname.
The teacher was very disdainful. It was fine if she was fat, but she was from the countryside and knew nothing!
The teacher took Su Xiaoxiao’s measurements.
“What did you eat to eat yourself like this?”
“It’s not your rice anyway.”
The teacher was speechless.
To be fair, Su Xiaoxiao’s facial features were very exquisite. She was a beauty with thick facial features. These facial features were so beautiful that they were unattainable and easily made people feel distant. Coincidentally, she had a round face that carried a hint of cuteness.
If not for the fact that she was fat, the teacher would probably think that she was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
Who asked a woman of the Great Zhou to be so thin? No matter how beautiful her face was, her flesh would attract strange gazes.
The teacher did not stay in Pear Blossom Lane for long. After getting the measurements, she gave a few perfunctory instructions and left.
“There’s not even a reward. How unlucky! ”
The teacher left the courtyard and prepared to step on the wooden stool to get into the carriage.
Coincidentally, school was over for the three little ones. Without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to pick them up, they ran home.
Dahu ran the fastest like a small cannon. He couldn’t stop in time and b.u.mped into the carriage.
The teacher missed a step and fell facedown.
The next morning, after Su Ergou was brought to the Directorate by Su Qi and Su Yu, Su Xiaoxiao sent the three little ones to the house in the east. Su Xiaoxiao saw Master Zhang again. “I might not be back until tonight.”
Hearing this, Master Zhang’s eyes lit up. “It’s fine! Let them stay here! We’ll take good care of them!”
As he spoke, he looked down at the three children like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, making Su Xiaoxiao wonder if she had met a human trafficker. However, the three little ones were very happy to learn here. Master Zhang and

Su Xiaoxiao touched their heads. “You have to be good, understand?”
Master Zhang muttered,” No, no, no. Don’t be obedient. Torture Ling Yun to death and don’t hold back.”
“Got it,” the three little ones agreed.
“Does your head still hurt?” Su Xiaoxiao touched Dahu’s forehead, referring to Dahu accidentally hitting the carriage yesterday.
The car panel had cracked, but Dahu was fine.
How tough.
“It doesn’t hurt.” Dahu shook his head and thought for a moment before nodding. “It hurts a little. Blow on it.’
Su Xiaoxiao bent down and blew on it.
Xiaohu squeezed over and patted his little head with his small hands. “Xiaohu has to be blown too!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and blew on it.
Naturally, Erhu could not fall behind.
The three little ones could only go to school after they were satisfied.
On the other side, Su MO had already arrived.
Su Xiaoxiao got into his carriage and went to the palace.
They arrived late. The other daughters had already entered the palace. A young eunuch with the surname Sun was waiting at the door.
Su MO gave the other party a money bag. Eunuch Sun quietly put it in his sleeve and brought Su Xiaoxiao in with a smile.
This time, there was still a sedan chair waiting, and no eunuch dared to malpractice again. Su Xiaoxiao sat in the sedan chair and swayed towards the location of the cla.s.s— Qilin Hall.
Qilin Hall was only a wall away from the harem.
When they approached Qilin Hall, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.
Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and saw the eunuch carrying the sedan chair and Eunuch Sun accompanying him. They lowered their heads and looked down as if they were avoiding someone.
Su Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked in the direction of the harem.
A phoenix carriage carried by eight eunuchs slowly walked past. A woman in luxurious palace clothes sat on the phoenix carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao only saw a side profile before the phoenix carriage turned around and went deeper into the palace.
From her side profile and figure, she could not be more than 30 years old. However, there was a hint of maturity in his unattainable aura.
“Who was that person just now?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Eunuch Sun.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think she shouldn’t ask. Eunuch Sun had benefited from Su
MO, so he had to do something.
They started walking again.
Eunuch Sun looked around and leaned close to the window. He whispered to Su
Xiaoxiao, “That person just now was the Grand Empress Dowager.”
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.. “Such a young Empress Dowager?”
