Chapter 1174: Chapter 934 Truth 14: Suisui Likes These Yellow and White Things the Most_3
Xiaosuisui also said, "I’m going to refine the elixir."
The two juniors left.
Empress Dowager Xiao chatted intimately with the Princess of Yi in their seats.
Nanny Xiao walked in.
"Did you talk to her?"
Nanny Xiao replied respectfully, "I gave her a few hints."
Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, "I wonder if she understood?"
Nanny Xiao said.
"Xin Yue is with her. If she can’t figure it out, Xin Yue will help her analyze it bit by bit."
Empress Dowager Xiao was reassured.
After all, she was her family; she didn’t bring Xin Yue into the palace back then because she thought this sister-in-law wasn’t very clever, so she deliberately left Xin Yue behind.
"Your sister-in-law is indeed not very bright.
But I’m surprised her daughter didn’t enter the palace in this selection."
Empress Dowager Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, "Isn’t it because of Lianchun, that clever girl? On her entrance day, she intercepted them, said some ambiguous words, and sent them some medicine pills to dispel cold and dampness, scaring them so much they didn’t dare enter the palace."
The Princess of Yi laughed heartily, "What was she thinking? To actually do that!"
"Princess Lianchun has been back for a while, yet you haven’t seen her. Once she’s helped the Emperor resolve these troublesome matters, I’ll have her visit you at the Prince’s Mansion!"
Empress Dowager Xiao mentioned the troublesome matters, both the Princess of Yi and she looked worried.
"Have we forgotten something very important?"
The sisters-in-law quickly got up from the embroidered stools, anxious to find Xiaosuisui.
Nanny Xiao saw them and hurriedly asked, "What’s the matter, Madam?"
"Has Nanny Xiao seen Suisui?"
"In the side palace! She wouldn’t let anyone in. County Master Qingping and Yuanyang are guarding outside; she took Dafeng inside."
"Side... side palace?
Why did she take Dafeng in? Wasn’t she going to refine the elixir for the Princess of Yi earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Xiao replied, "That’s exactly what she said earlier, to take Dafeng in to light the fire for refining the elixir!"
"Let Dafeng light the fire?
What trick is this girl up to?
She can’t be thinking of burning down my Cining Palace, can she?"
Empress Dowager Xiao was worried, and the Princess of Yi remarked, "How can a bird light a fire? Could this child be..." She pointed to her head, looking at Empress Dowager Xiao.
Empress Dowager Xiao couldn’t care about anything else and hurried to the side palace.
Just as she reached the entrance of the side palace, Xie Pan’Er and Yuanyang quickly greeted her.
Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand to exempt them.
Just as she was about to ask about Xiaosuisui, she heard Xiaosuisui talking to herself inside.
"What’s wrong with asking you to spit some fire? Aren’t you phoenixes great at that?
Besides that, what else can you do?
Are you upset?
If you’re upset, turn yourself into a human and come fight me?
See if I don’t beat you up!"
"This..."
The Princess of Yi was instantly taken aback, wondering if the outside story portrayed the princess as a jinx, but no one called her a fool!
"Madam! Is Suisui always... like this?"
Empress Dowager Xiao directed her gaze at Xie Pan’Er.
Xie Pan’Er hastily replied, "Don’t worry, the princess isn’t usually like this; she only talks to Dafeng, Xiaobai, and Xiaoqing while they’re working. It may sound like she’s talking to herself, but she really can communicate with them!"
Xie Pan’Er’s explanation reminded the Princess of Yi.
"Now I remember, I heard before that you could communicate with Dafeng, which is why the Empress Dowager especially likes you!
You can really know Dafeng’s thoughts?"
Xie Pan’Er said, "Can guess some of them!"
Upon hearing this, the Princess of Yi nodded, and Xie Pan’Er quickly added, "Madam, alchemy is dangerous work, and talking here might distract the princess inside, so you two should quickly head back to the palace!"
"...We won’t speak, we’ll just wait here, not saying a word, guarding with you!"
Empress Dowager Xiao and the Princess of Yi silently stayed put, standing together with Xie Pan’Er, waiting.
Xie Pan’Er: "..." Oh no, during the process of Xiaosuisui’s alchemy, these two might go crazy!
Inside the side palace, Xiaosuisui stood there, and the elixir furnace hovered in mid-air in front of her, with Dafeng beside her, spitting a small flame from her mouth that blazed at the furnace’s base.
Xiaosuisui gave a playful slap on Dafeng’s back, "A bit of fire, a bit of fire, take it easy; if you ruin the elixir, I’ll pluck your phoenix feather and stick it on the Princess’s Grandma’s head to help her drive away the cold!"
Dafeng rolled her eyes in frustration, fluttering her wings, and communicated with her in her mind.
"A mere mortal, you actually want me, a divine bird, to be a fire girl and personally refine the elixir? Do I have no face?"
Xiaosuisui replied: "Face?
What’s that worth?
Didn’t you see?
The Princess’s Grandma gave me plenty of gold beans; I must reciprocate, and nothing else I have on hand is suitable, except for a few elixirs that seem appropriate.
Mind yourself, behave, or I’ll pluck your feathers!"
Outside, Empress Dowager Xiao and the Princess of Yi: "..." Rubbing their arms, this dark night felt eerie!
