After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

"I wasn't with you that day when you were injured." Cheng Shubai couldn't help but explain, "I promise you that I will never let the same tragedy happen again."

As he spoke, Cheng Shubai's eyes were firm.

Su Xiaoxi glanced at Cheng Shubai but did not answer. She did not blame Cheng Shubai for that matter.

After all, the assassination that night was planned by someone, and even if Cheng Shubai had the ability, he would not be able to avoid being injured.

"What happened this time will never happen again. Please believe me." Cheng Shubai said solemnly.

Su Xiaoxi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Mr. sir, I believe you. Let's not talk about this anymore. How is your scientific examination going now? Is everything going well?"

"I'm fine here, and I'll be taking the imperial examination soon. What about you?" Cheng Shubai asked.

"I am OK, you?"

Su Xiaoxi has not forgotten what her father specifically told her before she came here.

"Go back after the palace examination. You should know about this palace examination."

"I know." Su Xiaoxi nodded, she naturally knew.

"Then are you confident?"

Su Xiaoxi smiled and shook her head, "That's not necessarily the case."

She couldn't guarantee that every candidate for the science examination would be extremely knowledgeable, nor could she guarantee that every candidate would pass the palace examination.

However, it’s just a matter of trying our best.

Looking at Cheng Shubai, Su Xiaoxi had mixed feelings in her heart.

"You can definitely do it. Your abilities are very powerful. I believe you can pass high school."

Su Xiaoxi said with excitement.

Listening to Su Xiaoxi praising herself, Cheng Shubai raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed a gentle smile as warm as the wind.

"I will work hard." Cheng Shubai answered simply.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had too much to say. However, due to the presence of the palace maid and the nanny, it was not convenient for them to talk too much.

Cheng Shubai said goodbye very wisely.

Su Xiaoxi looked at Cheng Shubai's leaving figure, with a faint arc at the corner of her mouth.

She has been missing Cheng Shubai a lot during this time, and now that Cheng Shubai is back, her heart finally falls.

"Princess, why are you so stupid? Why didn't you tell His Majesty?" Seeing Cheng Shubai walk away, Luluo couldn't help but complain.

"What do you know? He did this so as not to implicate me!" Su Xiaoxi glared at Luluo and retorted.

Luluo pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Although Luluo felt aggrieved, she had to admit that the consort was right.

The prince-in-law did this for the princess's good.

If she told His Majesty, she would probably cause trouble and even the consort would be involved, which she did not want to see.

Su Xiaoxi took a deep breath and calmed down her mind.

She knew that Cheng Shubai was not only doing it for himself, but also for the people of Ning Dynasty and the country.

"Let's go back first." Su Xiaoxi said, not wanting to continue standing at the door for fear of being seen by the other maids or nuns.

The gazes of these palace maids and nuns were too hot.

"Well, will the slave help the princess to wash herself?" Luluo asked. Their princess had not rested all day, and her body might not be able to bear it.

"No, I'm tired and want to rest early." Su Xiaoxi refused.

"Okay then." Luluo was a little disappointed, but had no choice but to do so.

……

The next day, Su Xiaoxi got up early, put on a gorgeous brocade robe, applied exquisite makeup, and dressed up beautifully.

This day was the banquet held by Nangong Chen for Su Xiaoxi, specifically to announce the identity of the seventh princess Su Xiaoxi to the world, so that everyone in the world would know of Su Xiaoxi's existence.

The imperial garden was now full of guests, coming and going.

"Congratulations to the Seventh Princess, and congratulations to the Emperor."

All kinds of fawning voices kept coming, making Su Xiaoxi's ears buzz.

However, Su Xiaoxi always had a sweet and happy smile on her face, which was pleasing to the eye.

"Thank you all for coming today, please take a seat." Su Xiaoxi responded politely and asked the maids to bring tea.

After everything was arranged, Su Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Chen who was sitting next to her and said with a smile: "Father, let's have a dinner!"

"Okay." Nangong Chen nodded and signaled the maid to prepare the dishes.

Today's banquet is very simple, but all the civil and military officials from the entire dynasty have come here, and it is an unprecedented grand occasion.

Since it was a banquet for the officials, Su Xiaoxi did not need to entertain those officials in person. The maids serving beside her would do all the entertaining for her.

Su Xiaoxi felt quite comfortable eating this meal.

One is that she has never had the opportunity to attend such a banquet for such a long time, and the other is that she has been drunk by those ministers for such a long time.

This feeling is like drinking old wine for many years.

After finally making it to the end of the show, Su Xiaoxi felt exhausted.

However, when Su Xiaoxi was about to go back to her room to rest, she was blocked by someone.

Looking up and looking at the woman blocking her way, Su Xiaoxi frowned, a coldness flashing in her eyes.

"Seventh Princess, long time no see." Li Xin'er looked at Su Xiaoxi with a gentle face, but it gave people an inexplicable feeling of alienation.

"Li Xin'er, why are you blocking my way?" Regarding Li Xin'er's sudden appearance, Su Xiaoxi's heart rang with alarm bells.

Her intuition told herself that the Li Xin'er in front of her was different from before.

Sure enough, the next moment Li Xin'er said: "I specially invite the princess to the banquet today, please don't postpone it."

Li Xin'er's tone was very calm, but it gave off a hint of aggressiveness.

Su Xiaoxi frowned and stared at Li Xin'er carefully, as if trying to find flaws in her face.

But unfortunately, Li Xin'er's face still maintained a gentle expression without any change.

"Who are you?"

After a long while, Su Xiaoxi finally couldn't help but speak with a cold tone.

"Princess, I sincerely invite you. I hope you can come to the banquet with me."

"Who are you?" Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but increase her tone, obviously not intending to talk nonsense to her.

"Seventh Princess, don't get me wrong. I just made such a decision on impulse."

As she spoke, Li Xin'er slowly took off the bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet was emerald green in color and of excellent quality.

"What are you doing?"

Su Xiaoxi did not reach out to take the bracelet on Li Xin'er's hand.

"Princess, I sincerely want to invite you." Li Xin'er said, handed the bracelet to Su Xiaoxi, and continued: "This bracelet was an adult gift given to me by my parents. It has been treasured to this day, and now it is given to me. Princess as a gift.”

Su Xiaoxi did not reach out to pick it up, but looked at Li Xin'er opposite her coldly. Li Xin'er today was not as shallow and scheming as before.
