Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She had brought four maids with her today.
Xiao Chun and Xiao Lu respectfully said, “Yes.”
Jian Qingqing did not take this matter to heart, and the carriage slowly walked to the imperial palace.
Because the carriage this time belonged to Jian Qingqing’s own residence, she could not use it to enter.
The carriage was stopped outside the palace gate, and Jian Qingqing brought nanny Wu and Xiao Tao, and Xiao Liu in.
The palace was still very big. It took about half an hour to walk from the palace gate to Princess Anning’s palace.
Jian Qingqing sighed. If she did not have a carriage, she really did not want to enter the palace. She was too tired.
Princess Anning was very surprised to see her. Since the last time they met, she had been looking forward to it day and night. Finally, Jian Qingqing entered the palace again.
Jian Qingqing gave her the wrapped doll. “Here, it’s a present for you.”
Princess Anning received it in surprise. “What is it?”
She took off the ribbon on the box and opened the lid. She shouted excitedly, “Ah! It’s a doll! It’s so beautiful!”
There was a pair of dolls lying in the box. They looked different, and the clothes on the dolls were also different.
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “How is it? Do you like them?”
Princess Anning nodded frantically. “I do!”
Thus, on this day, Jian Qingqing accompanied Princess Anning to play with the dolls for a whole day.
Sure enough, dolls were every girl’s favorite. Even Princess Anning, who had never liked sewing, could not help but take out her sewing bag and sew clothes for the dolls. She even took out her extremely expensive clothes, she wanted to make new clothes for the dolls.
Jian Qingqing’s eyebrows jumped and stopped her.
“These fabrics are still so good. What a pity to cut them? Why don’t you take out the clothes you don’t want and change them?”
Because the Emperor and the Empress had always been thrifty, Princess Anning had also learned such a good trait. She thought about it and felt that it was a waste, so she asked the palace maid to take out her childhood clothes.
Jian Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Princess Anning was someone who listened to advice, or else she would have led the other party astray.
Before leaving, Jian Qingqing first went to the Empress’s Palace to say goodbye.
The Empress looked at her slightly awkward posture and thought for a moment, then understood.
She smiled slightly and said, “It’s very tiring to walk in, isn’t it?”
It was not close from the palace door.
Jian Qingqing smiled awkwardly. “It is a little tiring.”
“Later, I’ll get someone to send you out. The next time you come in, you can also get someone to send you a carriage. You’re a Princess, so you have the right to do so.”
Jian Qingqing was pleasantly surprised and thanked her. “Thank You, Your Highness!”
With the carriage, she felt much more relaxed when she returned.
Jian Qingqing felt that she had become more delicate. In the past, she had wandered around the village for a few hours without feeling very tired. How could she be so tired after walking for less than an hour?
She still needed to train her body properly.
After returning home, Xiao Chun rushed forward and said, “Princess, everything has been investigated.”
Jian Qingqing was stunned. Only then did she remember what she had asked Xiao Chun to investigate.
She asked curiously, “What’s going on?
Xiao Chun replied respectfully, “That woman’s name is Liu Yuewen. Her father
is an elementary scholar, and she had no mother since she was young.
However, four years ago, her father died in an accident, and he has been living in her uncle’s house for the past few years. Her uncle is also a gambling addict. A few days ago, he lost all his family assets and even owed a large sum of money. Hence, her uncle sold her to a brothel. Liu Yuewen did not want to be sold, so she secretly ran away. However, she was still found out, so the madam caught her and beat her up. This time, she ran again, and was only found out on the street..”
