CHAPTER 194 (1): WHEN WAS SHE INVITED
âYouâŚâ Ning Anlian was speechless with fury. Her hand trembled as she pointed at Su Xi-er, but she couldnât bring herself to say anything.
Wei Mohai happened to enter the room at this exact moment, drawing everyoneâs gaze. Noticing the strange atmosphere, he solemnly informed, âEldest Imperial Princess, itâs getting late. Prince Yun has been urging us to go to the banquet and sit down immediately.
Ning Anlian could only nod when she heard this. âUnderstood. This Princess will go now.â
Before she left, Ning Anlian gave Su Xi-er a vicious look, completely revealing the hatred in her eyes.
I will not let Su Xi-er off!
She glanced at Piao Xu meaningfully when she walked past her and whispered, âYou must take care of Miss Xi-er for this Princess.â
Piao Xu nodded. âYes, this servant obeys the order.â
Upon receiving her confirmation, Ning Anlian tidied herself up, and left the repose palace.
Only Su Xi-er and Piao Xu were left in the repose palace.
In Su Xi-erâs eyes, Piao Xu wasnât even worth paying attention to. Sitting down on the embroidered pier, she started to look around the Eldest Imperial Princessâ repose palace, the place she had previously resided in.
However, although she was familiar with the room itself, all the decorations had changed. Everything from the flowers in the room, the wardrobe, and even small things like the cups and curtains, had changed.
It looks like Ning Anlian had everything replaced.
Piao Xu stood on one side and looked at Su Xi-er carefully. She was under the impression that the latter was just curious, having never seen a Princessâ repose palace before.
She couldnât help but ask, âMiss Xi-er, are you thinking that the Princessâ repose palace is magnificent and beautiful?â
Su Xi-er nodded with a smile in her eyes. âOf course, the repose palace of a nationâs Princess should be magnificent, beautiful, and glittering.â
âYes, the Princess is the high and mighty Eldest Imperial Princess, who lives in the best place. Miss Xi-er, you are very lucky to see it today. Since you wonât have a chance to live in such a palace in your lifetime, you should savour this chance and enjoy it for a while.â
Su Xi-er snorted inside. Is she trying to show off to me how noble Ning Anlian is?
Taking this into account, Su Xi-er stood up and began to look around again. âThe repose palace is beautiful, but it is not the most beautiful that I have seen. All of the vulgar objects in the room make the Eldest Imperial Princessâ beauty only skin deep. Everyone knows that a person needs to have a beautiful heart in addition to their appearance. A truly beautiful personâs ability to make even the mundane seem resplendent; it isnât something that can be mimicked by owning a pile of material objects.â
Piao Xu was shocked. How could she not understand what Su Xi-er meant? How daring for her to say such a thing about the Eldest Imperial Princess!
Piao Xu did not give in and argued. âThatâs not true. You must be jealous that everything in the Princessâ repose palace is expensive, right?â
Su Xi-er sneered. âWhy would I need to be jealous that such vulgar things donât belong to me? Isnât that adding to my worries? Besides, there are many things in the Eldest Imperial Princessâ repose palace that can be easily found in the Beauty Palace.â
Piao Xu didnât know what she meant. But how can Su Xi-er easily see those things at Prince Haoâs Residence? She is just a maidservant!
Su Xi-er didnât give her a chance to think and directly said, âAm I not right? These objects may seem expensive in the Eldest Imperial Princessâ eyes, but they are nothing in Beimin.â
