Chapter 311: Treating the Princess (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Xiaoxiao really had no intention of going to Princess Jingning’s place to freeload.
She gave Princess Jingning snacks purely to thank Princess Jingning for lending her a sedan chair yesterday.
Moreover, in order not to cause any beautiful misunderstandings, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t give it to her in person.
Unexpectedly, Princess Jingning still read too much into it.
Kunning Palace was the Empress’s residence, but not everyone was qualified to see the Empress. Even Princess Jingning’s cla.s.smate might not be summoned by the Empress.
Of course, the Empress was not around today either. She had gone to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom.
The two of them ate in Princess Jingning’s room.
The palace maid brought over a basin and a towel for the two of them to wash their hands.
After washing up, Princess Jingning hesitated for a moment before raising her
hand to gently remove her veil.
She was… not good-looking.
She had always known very well, but she did not like to expose her flaws in front of others.
She regretted bringing her cla.s.smate over for a meal.
She swore that if this little girl dared to show a trace of mockery, she would get someone to beat her up!
Thinking of this, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao warily.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t look at her at all. Instead… she stared straight at the food on the table… She was just short of drooling.
There was no choice. As a fatty, she got hungry quickly.
“Your Highness Jingning, can we eat now?” Su Xiaoxiao asked her.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes were clean and pure.
For a moment, Princess Jingning wondered if she had not taken off her veil…
She hurriedly touched her face.
“Are you feeling unwell?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
After confirming that Su Xiaoxiao really didn’t care about her appearance,
Princess Jingning calmed down and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “No, let’s eat.”
The food in Kunning Palace was quite sumptuous. The food in school could not compare.
Su Xiaoxiao was very hungry.
She did not know the palace rules, but she had basic etiquette.
After Princess Jingning moved her chopsticks, she began to eat.
Princess Jingning had many close friends, commonly known as handkerchief friends.
They were close to Princess Jingning and treated her well.
Princess Jingning was not stingy with her kindness.
It was not until one day when she accidentally heard them laughing at her behind her back that she realized that they were pretending to be good to her.
If she was not the Empress’s daughter or the Princess of the first wife, they would not be willing to speak to her at all.
In Princess Jingning’s opinion, Su Xiaoxiao was probably the same.
The reason why she didn’t reject Su Xiaoxiao’s “favor” was purely because Su Xiaoxiao was a little fatty and came from the commoners. She was neglected and was quite similar to her.
“You don’t have to be restrained…
Princess Jing Ning was about to remind Su Xiaoxiao not to follow the palace rules and eat boldly when she was stunned.
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao looked up at her.
Su Xiaoxiao had just bitten a glutinous meatball. Her cheeks were puffed up and she looked a little cute.
The palace servants covered their faces and snickered.
Princess Jingning cleared her throat. “It’s fine. You eat.”
Su Xiaoxiao swallowed the meatball. “Oh, you eat too. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
Princess Jingning was speechless.
Princess Jingning ate half a bowl more than usual for no other reason. Su Xiaoxiao’s eating style made the food seem too delicious, and she couldn’t help it.
“Your Highness, it’s time to apply medication.”
The little palace maid walked over with a bottle of ointment.
The two of them had already finished eating.
Princess Jingning called over a young eunuch. “Take Miss Su to the room to rest.”
“Yes,” the young eunuch agreed and bowed to Su Xiaoxiao. “Miss Su, this way
please.
“Wait a moment.” Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at Princess Jingning. “What medicine are you applying?”
The little palace maid hesitated.
‘Is that something you can ask?’
Princess Jingning hesitated for a moment and said, “The medicine for the face.”
“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao took out a bottle of Bezoar Detox Pills from her small pouch. “Try this.”
This medicine was effective in clearing the heat and detoxification. It could be taken internally or applied externally.
Princess Jingning clearly needed to clear her internal heat. It should be the right treatment.
But the acne on her face…
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the new ointment in the pharmacy.
She had packed it at home and was carrying a small bottle.
She took it out and instructed, “Take two yellow pills once a day. Apply the black ointment to the spot. Don’t use it more than twice.”
Princess Jingning looked at the medicine bottle on the table and hesitated.
The little palace maid dissuaded her. “Princess, don’t use medicine recklessly..
Don’t you remember that the last time you used a folk prescription, you almost destroyed your face?”
