<h4>CHAPTER 320 (1): SUMMONED BY GRAND TUTOR KONG</h4>


    Trantion: Cosy


    Cosying up to the Empress Dowager meant that Lian Qiao might have the chance to take He Ying''s previous post.


    All of this meant that the Pce Side Quarters was alive with conversation. In fact, rumoursparing Lian Qiao and herself were all Su Xi-er could hear at this point.


    "Su Xi-er was transferred to the Beauty Pce, but is now back at the Pce Side Quarters. If Prince Hao really fancied her, why would she be back here?"


    "She must have fallen out of favour with him. Remember He Xiangyu? I heard that she died after the Beauty Pce was dissolved; they say it was a suicide."


    Hearing this piece of news, many of the pce maids almost stomped their feet. "She actually died?! I remember she visited the Pce Quarters after she entered the Beauty Pce, bestowing so many gifts upon us and strutting around to show off her glory. To think that she actually died!"


    "Exactly, fortuneys in the east bank thirty years, but has nowe to the west; life is full of ups and downs, you never know what will happen next. Moreover, it hasn''t even been 30 years, but a mere few months. That’s why I said that Su Xi-er has definitely fallen out of favour. It''s hard to sustain Prince Hao''s interest. Among all the men, his thoughts are buried the deepest!" The pce maidmented but felt somewhat pleased in her heart.


    Those who were once admired by all have now fallen to rock bottom. They must be more miserable than anyone! Rather than that, it’s better to stay in the Pce Side Quarters and keep our ce after all!


    Just then, a pce maid finally realised that Su Xi-er was passing by. "Stop talking, Su Xi-er just walked past and heard everything."


    As if in response, Su Xi-er suddenly turned around and smiled. "You all are right. Fortuneys in the east bank thirty years, but has nowe to the west. Who knows what the future holds?"


    Although Su Xi-er was clearly smiling, her expression sent a chill down everyone’s back. All chatter almost immediately ceased as everyone got on with their work.


    Su Xi-er let out a soft chuckle as she continued on the pce path, only taking a few steps before she heard a eunuch’s voice from behind her.


    "Where is Old Maidservant Liu?"


    Everyone looked towards that eunuch and saw that his clothes seemed to be of good material.


    "In her room; this servant will call for her." A pce maid stopped her work and ran to call Old Maidservant Liu.


    Old Maidservant Liu thought that some important personage had sent his or her servant, but recognised the eunuch’s clothes as the uniform of the Imperial Library.


    The Imperial Library and Pce Side Quarters have never had any contact. Why would a servant from the Imperial Library suddenly appear here?


    Old Maidservant Liu didn''t let down her guard and asked the eunuch, "Why has Grand Tutor Kong suddenly taken an interest in the Pce Side Quarters today?"


    The eunuch bowed. "Old Maidservant Liu, this servant is here on Grand Tutor Kong''s orders to invite Su Xi-er to the Imperial Library."


    As soon as his words fell, everyone was suddenly envious of Su Xi-er again. To actually be asked to go to the Imperial Library... is she going to be offered a post there?! This was a huge deal. Lian Qiao transferred to the Compassionate Peace Pce, but her position was still that of a servant in the end!


    However, the Imperial Library is different! Every pce maid in the Imperial Library has a higher sry, but more importantly, they hold a rank as a courtdy!


    Old Maidservant Liu nodded and gestured Su Xi-er over.


    Su Xi-er, having already heard about this from Eunuch Zhang, was unsurprised. But with Commandery Prince Xie''s interference, entering the Imperial Library will not be a smooth journey.
