<h4>CHAPTER 5: A TABBY POUNCES ON SOMEONE</h4>
“Flower,e out quickly! Don’t scare me!” A woman’s voice was getting increasingly anxious as she rounded the corner, fear clear on her face.

Su Xi-er was bewildered. Who is Flower? This woman’s pce attire doesn’t look ordinary. Don’t tell me that Flower is Beimin’s little imperial princess?

“Meow~~~” Suddenly, Su Xi-er found a huge tabby cat withrge eyes pouncing towards her. This cat was extremely unbridled. It reached out its sharp ws and swung them towards her face as if it wanted to scratch her.

Su Xi-er spun and dodged the tabby’s ws. The cat spun around and red at her ferociously once it hadnded, it’s tail sticking straight up in the air.

“Flower, I have finally found you!” A woman’s pleasantly surprised voice could be heard. Soon, she was carrying the tabby in her arms.

So it turns out that Flower is the name of a cat. This woman is so nervous about it. It looks like its the pet of some imperial consort in the pce.

“Flower doesn’t like you very much.” The woman took a few steps back as she carried the tabby, her eyes full of loathing.

Su Xi-er didn’tment. I need a cat to like me?

“Miss He, why did youe to the Pce Side Quarters?” Old Maidservant Zhao was perfect with her timing, though still appearing very deferential to the woman before her.

He Ying smiled. “Old Maidservant Zhao, Flower is mischievous. It actually hid from the Empress Dowager and ran here alone, making her worried sick. I’m going to carry it back now.”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er finally understood. So Flower is the Empress Dowager’s pet. With the master as the Empress Dowager, as long as the Empress Dowager likes it, the status of this tabby is even greater than those of the imperial consorts.

At the moment, she still didn’t know that there were no imperial consorts in the pce at all. The Emperor had yet to evene of age, much less marry.

“If that’s the case, Miss He should quickly return to the Compassionate Peace Pce. The Empress Dowager must be concerned.” Old Maidservant Zhao’s face was wreathed in smiles, and her tone became even more deferential.

He Ying nodded, only taking a few steps before she turned around again. “Old Maidservant Zhao, Flower doesn’t like this pce maid.” At the same time, she looked at Su Xi-er’s direction, the profound meaning in her eyes very obvious.

“I''ll bear what Miss He has taught in mind.”

Only after obtaining Old Maidservant Zhao’s assurance did He Ying leave with Flower in her arms. Flower’s eyes kept looking at Su Xi-er with the hair all over its body standing straight up.

Animals are said to be psychic and sensitive. Is it possible that this cat has discovered that the soul in this body doesn’t belong to Su Xi-er herself?

“From tomorrow onwards, you will wash the chamber pots at night. If you see Flower again, you must avoid it immediately.”

Su Xi-er looked at Old Maidservant Zhao and nodded. “This servant finds Flower very adorable. Why did it behave like that when it saw me?” She purposely revealed a puzzled expression, hoping to gain some useful information from Old Maidservant Zhao.

“Flower was given to the Empress Dowager by Prince Hao. After the Empress Dowager saw the cat, it was love at first sight. Regardless of whether it’s Prince Hao or the Empress Dowager, they are people you can’t provoke.” Old Maidservant Zhao gave her a meaningful look. If she died due to this matter, what other good show can I still watch in the future?

“Thank you for your advice, this servant will keep that in mind. However, are all servant girls serving the Empress Dowager as young as Miss He?” She deliberately asked in such a manner. Normally, those serving near the Empress Dowager should be the more experienced senior maidservants. Since Miss He was allowed to carry the tabby given to the Empress Dowager by Prince Hao, she is definitely someone who serves near her. This is inconsistent with the regtions.

“Are you too calm or is your brain simply silly? The Empress Dowager is young and is eighteen years old. Of course the pce maids serving beside her would be young. In the future, you don’t need to mention such things again.”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er instantly understood. The Empress Dowager is only eighteen years old. Prince Hao is the Pei Family’s foster son, and is only around twenty-five years old. Beimin’s Empress Dowager is rather young. It’s lonely in the inner pce so it’ll be strange if she actually observes widowhood! It looks like the rtionship between the Empress Dowager and Prince Hao isn’t simple.

“Return to your room right away. In the future, you wille out at night to scrub the chamber pots.” Old Maidservant Zhao turned around to leave.

Her work was originally in the day but now it was at night instead. Still, there are advantages to this as well. At least the night is peaceful.

Su Xi-er’s whirlwind thoughts had prevented her from falling asleep that night, resulting in her waking up only once the sun was already high in the sky. Despite the fact that she was up sote, none of the four pce maids sleeping in the same room had bothered to wake her up.

She changed into a clean pce attire and went out. Quite a few pce maids had congregated at the courtyard in front of the door and were discussing animatedly.

“Something big has happened in Nanzhao. The Eldest Imperial Princess, Ning Rn, who wielded immense power, has actually died!

“Exactly! I even heard that it was General Yun who bestowed her with death.”

“Change is the only constant. Back then, Ning Rn and General Yun were a well-matched couple thought highly of, yet they fell out with each other just like that.”

“If I were Ning Rn, even if I died, I wouldn’t find peace underneath.”

Su Xi-er stopped in her tracks. The news has travelled to Beimin so quickly. Ning Rn has truly died. Really really died.

“Speak softer. She hase out.” The pce maids immediately lowered their voices upon seeing Su Xi-er.

“I have no intention of disrupting you all. Continue your discussion.” She smiled. She then turned around and walked in the other direction. After doing a bit of exploring in this part of the Pce Side Quarters yesterday, she was very clear about where she was to eat her meals and clean up before the day started.

“Old Maidservant Zhao actually allowed her to be so arrogant.” As they looked at Su Xi-er’s retreating figure, a pce maid started toin.

“Mu Tao has a crafty personality but, she still lost to her tricks. In fact, Su Xi-er got to eat her dinner while Mu Tao didn’t get to eat because she was scrubbing the chamber pots.”

These pce maids started to gossip about Su Xi-er again. After talking about her for a while, they moved back to Ning Rn and Yun Ruofeng.

Su Xi-er walked towards the freshening up area. After she was done with washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she took a damaged woodenb.

Lü Liu’s appearance involuntarily emerged in her mind. “Your Highness, let this servantb a Peach Blossom Bun1 for you. You look the best with this hair bun. General Yun also likes this the best.”

As she looked at the woodenb, her vision gradually became blurry. Lü Liu is no longer around. No one willb my hair for me ever again.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Unconsciously, she gripped the woodenb tightly.

A loud shout from far away finally pulled her out from her memories. “A major event! He Xiangyu hase to the Pce Side Quarters!”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er’s eyebrows furrowed. How can a woman taken into the Beauty Pce enter and exit the imperial pce at will? Is it because she angered Prince Hao and is demoted back to the Pce Side Quarters, or is she favoured to the extent that she’s permitted to enter and exit the pce?

However, no matter what it was, she wanted to meet He Xiangyu.
