Chapter 1437 - 256, Argument (53)
The Emperor’s laughter echoed throughout the hall, "Indeed, worthy of being Zhen Xiuming’s disciple, truly extraordinary! Alright, I agree to let you visit the Book Pavilion to read. However, the Book Pavilion is no ordinary place, I cannot allow you to enter freely. So, here is my condition—I will only give you one month, and within this month, how much you can read will depend on your own ability." It was not that the Emperor was stingy and did not allow Xiao Linshuang to read for long, but rather, he saw that Xiao Linshuang was young and feared she might give up halfway or dawdle, so he intentionally set a deadline to pressure her.
Xiao Linshuang happily kowtowed, "I thank Your Majesty for your graciousness! I will definitely read thoroughly and study hard!"
The Old Imperial Doctor waiting at the doorway couldn’t help but shiver when he heard the three words ’Zhen Xiuming.’ My goodness, this girl is actually Elder Zhen’s disciple!
Good heavens, this was the most exciting news he had heard today! No, it was the most exciting news he had heard this month, even more thrilling than when he first heard that Zhen Xiuming had returned to the capital. How many young talents had queued up to become Zhen Xiuming’s disciples back in the day? Unfortunately, that old fellow simply refused!
The Old Imperial Doctor could not help but take a few more glances at the small figure, pondering when he might use the opportunity when the girl was reading to exchange a few words with her.
Empress was already in poor health and left the banquet early. Princess Cuiwei had a bad relationship with the Empress and naturally would not care for her. Thus, the responsibility naturally fell on Su Qiuyu’s shoulders.
However, unlike when she had first entered the door, Su Qiuyu now felt this duty was not a coveted assignment at all.
