Chapter 456: Arrogant Xiaoxiao (1)
Manager Sun said disdainfully, “Princess? Is the princess very impressive? Is she as powerful as my Little Su? My Little Su is not only those identities just now. She also saved the Empress Dowager and the current Emperor! She’s only a county princess. She actually snatched the shop that my Little Su likes!”
“This…” Broker Li looked at Manager Sun awkwardly and said, “That Princess
Lingxi is Prime Minister Guo’s granddaughter, a popular person in front of the
Grand Empress Dowager.”
Prime Minister Guo was the head of the four major civil servants. His status in the royal court was not inferior to Qin Canglan’s. His granddaughter was really qualified to compete with the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
After hearing Broker Li’s introduction, Manager Sun was at a loss. “No, isn’t Qin Yanran the number one daughter in the capital? Later on, Qin Yanran’s background was exposed, and the number one daughter became my Little Su. Why did Miss Guo appear?”
Broker Li smiled dryly and said, “Miss Guo was personally conferred the title of county princess by His Majesty, so she naturally won’t fight with the daughters for the title.”
In other words, the first daughter was given to Qin Yanran because she, Guo Lingxi, did not want it anymore. Otherwise, it would have nothing to do with the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
Manager Sun was unhappy.
Broker Li cupped his hands and said apologetically, “Physcian Su, Manager Sun, I’m sorry about the shop next door. I’ll pay attention to a few more shops for the two of you. Don’t worry about the price. It’s definitely lower than the market price! ”
“Thank you.” Su Xiaoxiao called Little Weizi over and asked him to send Broker Li out.
Manager Sun said gloomily, “Are we letting him go just like that? This guy went back on his word. He promised to leave the shop to us!”
Su Xiaoxiao said rationally, “By keeping it, he means not introducing it to others. However, if the Hu family wants to sell it to others, he can’t do anything.”
The Hu family had a grudge against Number One Hall. If there was a second choice, the Hu family would not want to sell the shop to the Number One Hall.
Manager Sun was puzzled. “That shouldn’t be the case. After such a thing happened to the Hu family, other than us, who else cares about that shop?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “She doesn’t care about the shop.”
Manager Sun was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t continue.
It was neither earlier nor later. Princess Lingxi had butted in to buy the shop at this time and specially picked up what she liked— “It’s getting late. I’m leaving.”
Su Xiaoxiao packed her things and stood up to walk towards the door.
“Hey, we’re not done yet! Why did she snatch our shop?” Su Xiaoxiao had already gotten into the carriage.
Manager Sun pondered and said, “No, I have to ask around! ”
Su Xiaoxiao had not been to Emperor Jing Xuan’s place for a few days. She did not expect to see him at Yong Shou Palace today.
Coincidentally, it was time to treat Emperor Jing Xuan.
Su Xiaoxiao took Emperor Jing Xuan’s pulse.
The remaining poison in Emperor Jing Xuan’s body had been cleared, and his pulse had returned to normal. He could stop the medicine.
Su Xiaoxiao asked for the six unfinished yellow pills.
Looking at her stingy actions, Emperor Jing Xuan was confused.
It was just six pills. Was there a need?
“Emperor Jing Xuan is busy every day. If there’s nothing else, go deal with the government.”
The Empress Dowager ordered him to leave.
Emperor Jing Xuan felt a little jealous. His relationship with the Empress Dowager had just eased a little over the past few days, but the moment this girl arrived, the Empress Dowager chased him away.
Emperor Jing Xuan glared at Su Xiaoxiao and left.
“You guys retreat too,” the Empress Dowager instructed.
“Yes.” Eunuch Cheng left with the palace servants.
Only the Empress Dowager and Su Xiaoxiao were left in the bedroom. The
Empress Dowager changed her high and mighty attitude and urged anxiously, “Quick! Show it to me!”
Su Xiaoxiao took out a brocade box from the small basket.
The Empress Dowager couldn’t wait to open it and take out a few messy graffiti.
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the graffiti and said, “This is drawn by Dahu. This is drawn by Erhu. The top one is Xiaohu’s.”
Xiaohu insisted on placing his painting at the top.
The Empress Dowager looked at the graffiti that they had drawn and her eyes surged with joy. “Dahu drew it really well! Erhu also drew it well! Aiya, Xiaohu’s bird… is very vivid. They’re really talented!”
Su Xiaoxiao said dryly, “You’re really… imaginative.”
The Empress Dowager held the three little ones’ graffiti and couldn’t bear to put it down.
Suddenly, she remembered something and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “It’s been a while since you went to the Palace Academy to study, right?”
“Uh… yes,” Su Xiaoxiao replied casually.
The Empress Dowager said generously, “Then go. There’s a palace examination today. Don’t be delayed.”
Su Xiaoxiao remarked,” Is it really good for you to bite the hand that feeds you?”
