Chapter 458: Xiaoxiao’s Fury

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Teacher Jiang returned to the classroom.

He was here to get the books. There were too many exam papers just now, so he could only place a few books in the classroom first.

He saw Princess Lingxi and Su Xiaoxiao confronting each other at a glance. The two of them were covered in ink. Su Xiaoxiao’s clothes were dirty, and Princess Lingxi was dirty from head to toe. Those who didn’t know better would think that she had fallen into the ink pool.

“What are you two doing!”

He said sternly, “Stop it now!”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Princess Lingxi indifferently and let go of the whip in her hand.

Princess Lingxi retracted her whip.

She thought that everything would end here, but in the next moment, Princess Lingxi suddenly swung her whip at Su Xiaoxiao’s face.

“Ah—” Princess Hui An exclaimed.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned cold. She grabbed the end of the whip and pulled it over.

She grabbed the handle and whipped it back.

Whoosh!

Princess Lingxi was slapped firmly and took a few steps back.

If she hadn’t blocked it with her arm, she would have been hit in the face. The strength of the whip looked fine on the sleeve, but in fact, her entire arm was numb.

Su Xiaoxiao was ruthless.

Princess Lingxi looked at Su Xiaoxiao in disbelief. Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly, “Are you still up for it?”

Princess Lingxi glared at her coldly.

Princess Hui An stuck out her tongue at Guo Lingxi. “Serves you right! ”

“Enough!” Teacher Jiang was angry. “Miss Su, forgive when possible. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

Princess Hui An was unhappy. She pointed at Princess Lingxi and said, “She attacked first! If anyone is going overboard, it’s her!”

Teacher Jiang didn’t argue with Princess Hui An. Instead, he looked at Su

Xiaoxiao coldly. “It’s enough to snatch the whip. Why hurt someone?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If I were the one who was hit, would Teacher Jiang still say that?”

Teacher Jiang frowned.

Su Xiaoxiao threw the whip into the pen pool outside, grabbed the book bag on the table, and turned to leave.

Master Jiang said sternly, “Everyone, copy the Analects ten times!”

Su Xiaoxiao left without looking back. “Hey! Wait for me! No, stop right there!”

Princess Hui An chased after her.

She did not have to clean up the mess herself. The palace maids and eunuchs would bring back the book bag for her later.

“What did you eat growing up? You walked so quickly…”

Princess Hui An panted as she chased after her. “I haven’t recovered from my injuries!”

Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks.

Princess Hui An walked over with a bitter expression and glared at Su Xiaoxiao. She said angrily, “Forget it this time. I’ll intercede for you with Father and not let him punish you. However, I have a condition. In the future, you have to go to Qi Xiang Palace to ask for my pulse every day!” “Why would your father want to punish me?” “You hit Guo Lingxi. Who else should he punish but you?”

“That’s true. Your father never liked me.”

“No.” Princess Hui An sighed. “Even if I hit Guo Lingxi, Father would still say a few words about me. Didn’t you realize that… my fight with Guo Lingxi has always been 50-50?”

She actually knew 50-50.

For the first time, Su Xiaoxiao seriously sized up this princess.

It had to be said that the heavens really treated this princess well. She was good-looking, had a beautiful figure, and fair skin. She was an out-and-out stunner.

Princess Hui An glared at Su Xiaoxiao. “Why are you looking at me like that? I

Imow I’m better-looking than Jingning!”

Other than this face, there was probably nothing else on her that could compare to Jingning.

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Why does your father dote on Guo Lingxi so much?”

Princess Hui An snorted and said, “My father doesn’t dote on her. Who dotes on other people’s daughters? If my father wants to dote on someone, it has to be me!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then why are you always bullied by Guo Lingxi?”

Princess Hui An choked. “When did I get bullied by her? It was a draw! A draw, do you understand? I was giving in to her!”

She would never admit that she could not win!

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly pitied her. She couldn’t defeat Jingning in the palace, and she couldn’t defeat Guo Lingxi outside the palace.

The former had a status. Although the latter’s status was slightly inferior, with a backer and her brain being better than Princess Hui An’s, she had probably made Princess Hui An suffer a lot.

Princess Hui An curled her lips and said, “Guo Lingxi is the Grand Empress Dowager’s family. The Grand Empress Dowager has always doted on her. My father respects the Grand Empress Dowager very much, so I have to give in to Guo Lingxi.”

“Also, her brother is good friends with my eldest and second brothers. Her brother is very powerful.”

After a pause, she added, “He’s as powerful as Brother Ting. If he finds out that you hit his sister, you’ll be in a terrible state. Fortunately, he’s not in the capital now. You should worry about the Grand Empress Dowager. I can’t say anything about her, nor can Jingning!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Have you been taught a lesson by her brother?”

“Of course not. I’m a princess. He wouldn’t dare to bully me, but there was once such a thing. A young lady touched Guo Lingxi’s beloved dog. The next day…” A trace of creepiness flashed across Princess Hui An’s eyes.

Guo Lingxi was splashed with ink, so she naturally could not go out with ink all over her body to embarrass herself.

Her maidservant went to Zhaoyang Hall. Zhaoyang Hall sent a sedan chair to fetch her to Zhaoyang Hall to wash up and change into clean clothes. Bai Xihe sat in the courtyard drinking tea and basking in the sun.

Princess Lingxi came out after washing up. “Auntie.”

Bai Xihe nodded. “Sit.”

Princess Lingxi sat down on the stone stool beside her.

Little Yunzi served a cup of flower tea and said with a smile, “Princess, this is the dried flower that the Grand Empress Dowager personally dried. Try it.”

Princess Lingxi picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her voice was low and soft. “It’s delicious.”

Bai Xihe glanced at her and asked, “Were you at odds with Princess Hui An again?”

Princess Lingxi lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The maidservant at the side said aggrievedly, “It’s not Princess Hui An. It’s the daughter of an aristocratic family.”

Bai Xihe took a sip of bland flower tea. “What kind of daughter can bully your master?”

The maidservant complained, “Grand Empress Dowager, you might not know this, but that Eldest Miss of the Qin family, who has just been acknowledged, is very arrogant. She relied on the support of the Protector Duke’s Estate and the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate to do whatever she wants in the palace and doesn’t take anyone seriously. Today, she even attacked the princess, splashed ink, and whipped her.”

As she spoke, she grabbed Princess Lingxi’s left arm and rolled up her sleeve.

“Grand Empress Dowager, look. The princess’s arm is swollen! ”

Bai Xihe looked at the red and swollen whip mark on Princess Lingxi’s arm.

“Did she really hit you?”

Princess Lingxi nodded and rolled down her sleeves.

“Why did she hit you?” Bai Xihe asked.

Princess Lingxi said nothing.

The maidservant choked and said, “The princess accidentally dropped the ink on her. The princess apologized to her, but she didn’t listen. In front of everyone, she grabbed the inkstone and humiliated the princess in public! She even instigated Princess Hui An to go against the princess! You Imow that Princess Hui An has always been at odds with the princess. How can she stand such instigation?”

“Grand Empress Dowager, you’ve doted on the princess since she was young..

Now that she’s been bullied to this extent, you must stand up for the princess!”
