War Prince’s Mansion, Rain Listening Courtyard.

Xuexue sat at the table, absentmindedly flipping through the account book.

"Miss, you should be satisfied. The Prince treats you so well, why are you still acting like a spoiled miss?"

Zi Xia nagged as she poured tea.

After the Prince sent the Miss back, he hurriedly went out again due to official business.

Xuexue reluctantly put down the account book, looked at Zi Xia and said, "I was wrong, Zi Xia, can you stop nagging?"

Zi Xia had been nagging since she returned, making Xuexue’s ears grow calluses.

"Hmph! It was indeed your fault. At the slightest disagreement, you ran off and even beat someone up. I heard that woman was Old Master Gu’s beloved concubine. We don’t even know if there’s trouble now." Zi Xia was extremely worried; why does the Miss always cause trouble for the Prince?

Xuexue said nonchalantly, "When soldiers come, block them with generals; when water comes, withstand it with earth. What’s the use of worrying?"

Zi Xia was almost infuriated by the Miss: "It’s already this time and you still don’t realize your mistake!"

Xuexue continued to bury her head, picking up the account book: "I’ve already beaten her up. What can they do to this Princess Consort?"

Today, she didn’t beat up this Aunt Yu without reason.

In the past life, Aunt Yu and Situtu Qinger were good sisters. Once, during the cold winter with heavy snow, they teamed up to deceive Situtu Xueer out under the guise of the Crown Prince’s order. When she was not paying attention, they pushed her into the icy river. Fortunately, someone was passing by at the time and rescued Situtu Xueer. She didn’t know about this until she was on her deathbed when Situtu Qinger proudly revealed it.

Seeing Aunt Yu today, Situtu Xueer couldn’t contain her fury, and in a moment of rage, she beat her up fiercely.

Dammit, what Old Master Gu’s concubine! Beat her up first and talk later.

At this moment, the doorkeeper hurriedly came to report that someone from the Imperial Palace had arrived.

Zi Xia panicked upon hearing this and looked at the doorkeeper asking: "Did they say what the matter was?"

Doorkeeper: "They said Noble Consort Wang misses the Princess Consort and invited her for a gathering."

Miss her? Xuexue snorted coldly in her heart. Her relationship with Noble Consort Wang is not that good. If it’s not Noble Consort Wang, then who could it be?

Xuexue thought over and over, there was only one explanation, and that was the Emperor.

Xuexue looked at the doorkeeper and asked: "Has the Prince returned?"

Doorkeeper: "Guard Long sent a message saying the Prince is busy with official duties in the military camp and will return tomorrow."

"Invite him in!"

"Ah?"

"Didn’t you say someone from the Imperial Palace came? Invite him in!"

"I obey!"

The doorkeeper agreed with one word and turned to leave.

About Half a Cup of Tea’s time later, the doorkeeper brought Xiao Shunzi in.

"Greetings to the Princess Consort!" The Little Eunuch wore a big smile.

Xuexue first had Zi Xia give him five hundred silver notes.

The Little Eunuch was somewhat flattered. He often received tips while doing errands for the Emperor, which the Emperor was aware of and allowed. However, tips from the War Prince’s Mansion were rare.

"This... This... Princess Consort, there’s no need for such courtesy. I’m here for the Emperor, as I should be." Xiao Shunzi feigned refusal, while his other hand took it without hesitation.

Xuexue smiled: "Eunuch Qian, don’t be polite, it’s a small token. If Eunuch Qian..."

Stopping here briefly, there was an unspoken understanding among everyone, then continued: "There will be even more tips than here."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qian’s eyes lit up. More than five hundred silver notes, how much would that be?
