With this twist, no one dared to openly size up Little Jiajia anymore. This made Xiao Ruoshui heave a sigh of relief. āJiajia, I wonāt pine after Brother Chen anymore.ā
Little Jiajia looked at her suspiciously.
Xiao Ruoshui was not a shy person. She said bluntly, āYou chose me instead of Chang Le just now. Iāll also treat you as my best friend. We donāt steal things from each other. Donāt worry, I wonāt snatch it from you again.ā
Was she touched by her?
Little Jiajia grinned. āMy husband is mine to begin with. Itās useless even if you want to snatch him away.ā
Xiao Ruoshuiās eyebrow twitched.
āThat Chang Le doesnāt really want to be on good terms with me,ā Little Jiajia added.
āWhy wouldnāt she be? She took the initiative to talk to you and even invited you to sit with her. Isnāt that just another show of goodwill?ā
Little Jiajia blinked. āHave you ever heard of the saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend?ā
Xiao Ruoshui was stunned for a moment before reacting. āYou mean that Chang Le doesnāt get along with Princess Linghui and wants to rope you in because she sees that you can suppress Linghui?ā
What else could it be? Which noble lady sitting here did not have any arrogance? These people would never be convinced by a foreign princess like her. How could they sincerely befriend her? Even if they were friendly, they had some motive.
This was the first time Xiao Ruoshui had seen the complexity of peopleās hearts. She reminded her softly, āThen you have to stay away from Chang Le in the future. Donāt be used by her. Although the Eldest Princess isnāt in Changāan, I heard that His Majesty still respects his sister.ā
Naturally, she was more concerned about the Eldest Princessās only daughter than the other daughters of the royal family. Otherwise, how could a Fourth Rank Princess like her have the courage to fight Linghui?
Little Jiajia rolled her eyes. āNot to that extent. Besides, do I look like someone who can be used by anyone?ā
āThatās true. Youāre so smart, I didnāt even see her intentions.ā
Xiao Ruoshui was still nagging and did not realize that Little Jiajia was not in a good mood. She even seemed a little tired after thinking of something.
The women had to learn the eight elegant arts: zither, chess, books, paintings, poems, wine, flowers, and tea.
In the morning, the class taught them about books and paintings. However, to Little Jiajia, as long as it wasnāt the zither, everything else was the same. She slept through it.
This was hard on Xiao Ruoshui. Beside her was a bad student who was openly sleeping. From time to time, the teacher would glance in their direction, scaring her so much that she didnāt dare to move for the next two classes.
It was not easy for her to endure until school ended. Little Jiajia woke up.
āSince weāre in school, we should still study hard. We canāt let the instructor down,ā Xiao Ruoshui persuaded with a long face.
Even so, she was thinking of something different.
She was so envious. She wanted to sleep too.
Little Jiajia rubbed her eyes and nodded in agreement. āYouāre right, so you have to study hard and listen carefully. Good luck.ā
āThen youā¦ā
Little Jiajia joked, āI have a noble title to inherit. I dont have to learn these.ā Xiao Ruoshui was even more envious.
Huilan Court had a special kitchen to provide meals for the daughters of the various noble families. They also prepared a room for them to take an afternoon nap. Apart from the princess, who could return to her bedroom to rest, the others were allocated a room for two.
Little Jiajia was naturally with Xiao Ruoshui. The palace maids had originally wanted to give her a private room, but she didnāt want it. Xiao Ruoshui was extremely touched again.
In order to express her gratitude, she even specially told her what she had heard. āMingde Courtās classes ends 15 minutes after ours. If you go and look for Brother Chen now, he should be done with class too. You can also eat with him.ā
Little Jiajia thought to herself, āGood lord, I only slept for a while. This girl already has her own sources of information, although this isnāt a secret.ā
She immediately abandoned her companion and found a palace maid to bring her to Mingde Court. As for the promise not to run around, she was going to look for her husband.
Just as Xiao Ruoshui had said, Little Jiajia arrived at the entrance of Mingde Court just as classes ended.
The eunuch probably knew her. Hearing her intentions, he led the way without a word.
āThe heir should have gone to the room at this time. Princess, please come this way.ā
Mingde Court was even larger than Huilan Court. After passing through a courtyard and around a rockery, they finally saw a row of neatly arranged buildings.
The young eunuch stopped in front of the last room. Just as he raised his hand, the door of the room opened.
It was Song Jingchen who opened the door.
Little Jiajiaās eyes lit up. Just as she opened her mouth, she remembered that Song Jingchen didnāt want her to call him that, so she hurriedly corrected herself. āBrother Chen.ā
Song Jingchen clearly didnāt expect her to come. He was stunned for a moment.
āWhy are you here?ā freewebnove(l)
The eunuch leading the way left first.
āIām here to eat with you.ā Little Jiajia craned her neck to look into the room. There was a bed and a desk. It was a simple arrangement. āWhy donāt you have anything here?ā
The room she was assigned to not only had a dressing table, a soft couch, and a small suite used as a study.
āItās just an occasional break. Thatās enough.ā Song Jingchen didnāt let her look. He turned around and closed the door. āLetās go.ā āWhere are you going?ā Little Jiajia followed.
āYou havenāt eaten yet, have you?ā
āAh, yes. Have you eaten?ā
āNot yet.ā
āHehe, I knew it. Iāll come and have lunch with you every day in the future.ā
āWhat did you learn in the morning? The teacher taught us about books and paintings today. Itās so boring. As soon as he opened his mouth, I felt sleepy. However, Sister Ruoshui is quite serious in her studies.ā
Little Jiajia had a lot to say. Regardless of Song Jingchenās response, she rambled on alone until she entered a greenhouse. A voice interrupted her. āHey, Cousin, didnāt you say that you werenāt coming to eat with us today?ā
