After listening to Su Xia Yue's words, Chi Luo Sheng's face was filled with astonishment.
Chi Luo Sheng did not expect that he had actually already seen that there was something strange about this little girl. Furthermore, he had such unique views and foresight.
"Yue Er, did you know that General Leng did not make things difficult for us?! In the imperial court, Ling Wang and Chi Family are speaking up for us! Within Seven Great Families, you are no longer being looked down upon like you were in the past, this is all your credit! "
Su Xia Yue laughed leisurely, then turned and left, whether or not he could go was unknown.
Su Xing Long had already lost count of how many times he was abandoned by her daughter. However, his daughter was currently stronger than him, had a higher status, and was even more popular than him. Even if he was her father, it would be useless, and wouldn't be able to intimidate her at all.
He could only sigh and turn around to leave.
Before nightfall, Xiao E had already buried his mother and rushed to the Su Palace. Feng mama tidied up the little girl and she quickly became a neat little girl. Then, he brought it in front of Su Xia Yue.
Water Cloud Garden, Su Xia Yue's bedroom.
The little girl timidly stood there, looking terrified: "Miss, if Xiao E has done anything wrong in the future, please be magnanimous and teach the Xiao E more. I believe that the Xiao E will do even better!"
Su Xia Yue reclined in the imperial concubine's chair at the side, her bright eyes slightly opened as she leisurely instructed.
Tonight, there is a Court Feast. I have yet to find a suitable maid by my side, so I shall ask you to follow me there. However, you have to take responsibility for your words and actions.
"Ah?" Court Feast? "
The girl's eyes lit up, her face was full of excitement and joy. It was as if she had not expected that she would be so lucky to be able to enter the palace after being adopted by a good family.
Thinking up to here, she immediately knelt down towards Su Xia Yue, and promised solemnly: "Xiao E will definitely be cautious! It will definitely not bring the young mistress any trouble! "
"Hehe" Su Xia Yue chuckled a few times, his expression extremely strange.
Afterwards, she packed a simple set of things up and brought Xiao E to sit in the imperial carriage. After roughly an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.
What stood before him was a majestic and glorious palace gate. At the entrance of the city, which was four meters long and five meters wide, more than a hundred fully armed guards were neatly lined up. They raised their heads and looked at the carriage, which was slowly entering the city.
The carriage driver checked the token and entered the imperial city safely.
When the carriage passed by these guards, Su Xia Yue heard their bored conversation.
"Have you heard? This time, not only the young masters and young misses of several families are coming to Court Feast, there are also distinguished guests from other countries!"
"Is that so? I only thought that the Court Feast this time was Empress Dowager, a blind date that he prepared for those young masters and young misses, and even invited distinguished guests from other countries, could it be that he wants to marry all of the Ninth Princess that we have just found out? "
"Who knows, we're just going to watch a good show, hehehe."
"…"
Su Xia Yue could no longer hear what the guards behind him were saying. She only had a kind of premonition that this time in Court Feast, there were different kinds of people mixed in, and it was comparable to the Hong Gate banquet.
Yet Xiao E beside Su Xia Yue seemed to not know anything as he blinked excitedly, his face filled with anticipation. By the time she entered the palace, it was as if she was in a dream, and her eyes had already begun to shine.
Su Xia Yue looked over in the direction of the Xiao E's infatuated gaze.
In the majestic imperial palace, whether it was the imperial plaza or the surroundings of the imperial palace, everything was brightly lit. The palace lights, which were as tall as a human, shone brightly like the stars in the sky. Under the guidance of these palace lamps, the road was filled with extravagantly dressed nobles of the imperial palace, each of them a perfect couple. They were currently laughing and talking as they hurried towards a particular direction.
The coachman, who was driving the carriage, also stopped at the intersection of the Imperial Palace Square. He then said to Su Xia Yue and Xiao E: "Let Miss Su walk to the back garden of Empress Dowager's sleeping quarters."
"…"
Su Xia Yue did not say a word, and only lifted the curtain of the carriage. Xiao E got off the carriage first.
Xiao E followed him slowly, and excitedly asked all the way.
"Miss, Miss, which one of the Second Prince and Eighth Prince do you think is the better looking?"
"Miss, Miss, do you think the Ninth Princess that just returned to the palace is beautiful? "If only mine was Ninth Princess!"
"Miss, Miss, what do you think is the identity of the distinguished guest from other countries? Whether they are men or women, would they like the people who participate in the Court Feast and then ask the emperor, the empress dowager, to make a marriage alliance? "
"…"
Su Xia Yue felt that he did not look like he was bringing a servant by his side, but instead like he was bringing a mosquito. The buzzing sound caused her ears to hurt.
However …
Never would she have thought that an hour later, in Xiao E that was trembling with rage, there would actually be a sentence that turned into reality.
The night wind blew and the fragrance of flowers assaulted his nostrils.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Su Xia Yue had already moved to his designated seat and sat in the rear garden of the that was hosted by the empress dowager.
The place was already filled with people, but the seats were also divided into high and low.
The people seated closest to the entrance of the garden were all from the families in Seven Great Families. After which came the children of the officials, with the princes and princesses seated at the front. On the central steps sat the Emperor, the Empress. There was a throne above the Emperor, and that was the Empress Dowager.
Su Xia Yue sat very close to the back.
