Ever since Xiaosuisui found out that her granny fell ill because she ran away, she knew she was in the wrong, so she nodded vigorously.
"Okay, Granny, this time Suisui was wrong. I made you worry."
Xiaosuisui was well-behaved and even admitted her mistake on her own, which made Grandma Ji and everyone else present nod in admiration.
Even though this child kept making mistakes, she was adorable and understood that when she was wrong, she needed to make amends.
Everyone is born a blank slate. This canvas gets filled by their mistakes, their corrections, and the choices they make through life’s experiences!
"Suisui is such a good girl. It’s alright if we make mistakes, as long as we remember the price of those mistakes and think about our choices and their consequences when we face similar situations later on."
The elderly lady hugged her tighter, her heart filled with gratification!
"Understood, Granny! Suisui will definitely think more before acting from now on!"
When a three or four-year-old child makes a promise to an elder, anyone with normal intelligence would hardly take it seriously. After all, a child’s promise is as routine as their daily need to eat and drink—often said, but seldom remembered!
"By the way, pretty sister, you just said I have Great Divine Techniques that let me command the wind and rain. Is that true?"
Xiaosuisui hopped off Grandma Ji’s lap and scampered over to Xie Pan’Er. She tilted her little head back to look at her, excitement written all over her face as she asked.
Looking at the starry sparkle in Xiaosuisui’s eyes, Xie Pan’Er reluctantly pursed her lips and forced a smile onto her face.
"Princess! You indeed possess such Great Divine Techniques!
I have read in a book that people with such Great Divine Techniques are reincarnations of Immortals sent down from the heavens to undergo trials in the mortal realm.
They are generally accompanied by good luck, can command the wind and summon the rain, and whatever they desire, they can achieve simply by making a wish.
Don’t you think, Princess, that you might be one of these people?"
When Xie Pan’Er said this, the corners of everyone’s mouths in the Flower Hall couldn’t help but twitch.
The Little Emperor leaned to the side with even greater interest, supporting his forehead with his hand, and asked Xie Pan’Er with a smile, "Miss Xie the Third, I wonder which book you read this in? Could you perhaps bring it for Us to peruse?"
Xie Pan’Er was left speechless. Read it in a book? Not a chance!
The truth was, back in her childhood, when she was used as a Maid by Xie Yingying and secretly tormented by her, she had learned her slick way of talking from the various maids and young servants in the Mansion. Coupled with often going out to queue for preserved fruit for herself and listening to countless storytellers, she had become adept at spinning tales on the fly. That was how she had instantly fabricated the story about the Great Divine Techniques!
"I want to see it too! Pretty sister! After Emperor Father reads your book, can you lend it to me as well?"
Xiaosuisui, hearing what the Little Emperor said, also became eager to read the book.
The moment Xiaosuisui spoke, Xie Pan’Er felt a wave of despair. Such a book didn’t exist at all. Great, now she had to figure out a way to conjure up such a book in a short amount of time!
"Can you, pretty sister?"
Seeing Xie Pan’Er silent for a long moment, Xiaosuisui tugged at the hem of her dress, blinking her big eyes up at her, full of longing and entreaty.
Witnessing this, Xie Pan’Er’s heart melted. She pulled Xiaosuisui into a hug and said, "Yes, when I... when I... when I find such a book, I’ll immediately let you read it, okay?"
"Yay, yay, yay!" Xiaosuisui clapped her hands, absolutely overjoyed.
Xie Pan’Er, though crying inwardly, forced a smile and asked Suisui in a low voice, "Princess, would you like to find out if you truly possess the Divine Techniques I mentioned?"
