Upon seeing Eunuch Xi arrive, Jingxue gave the Empress Dowager a look, and the Empress Dowager instantly understood!

After bowing and paying his respects with a worried expression, Eunuch Xi said, "Your Highness, the Emperor Emeritus's little Meng stopped singing last night and won't answer no matter how we ask. The Emperor Emeritus didn't sleep well all night. Please go and take a look!"

"Oh dear! Eunuch Xi, I, the Princess Consort, have come to the palace to serve the Empress Dowager. After breakfast, I will accompany the Empress Dowager in her exercise! Doesn't the Emperor Emeritus have a talking bird? Why don't you let the Emperor Emeritus play with that bird for the morning?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Xi knelt down with a thud. It had been many years since he had knelt before anyone. "Your Highness, please save this old servant! If I cannot beg you, all the servants in Yue'an Palace will be forced to give up!"

Jingxue hadn't expected Eunuch Xi to act this way, and felt a little sorry for him. "Sigh! Eunuch Xi, please get up. I don't like people kneeling down all the time. Please get up and speak."

A young eunuch helped Xi Gonggong up, and the Empress Dowager said, "Xue'er, don't make things difficult for Xiao Xizi, quickly tell him!"

"Mother!" Jingxue called out in a coquettish tone.

The Empress Dowager chuckled, "Alright! Alright! Just tell me what you want! If the Emperor Emeritus won't give it to you, how about I do?"

Jingxue giggled without saying a word, which made Eunuch Xi very anxious.

"Xue'er, be good! Stop making a fuss! Otherwise, your mother will scold you!"

"Sigh! I don't really want anything, but when I visit my father and mother in the future, could you please ask the guards on the roof to stay away? It's inconvenient for us to have a private conversation. If Father Emperor helps me with this, I will give Father Emperor some good things in the future!" Jingxue waved to Eunuch Xi after she finished speaking.

Without even saying goodbye, Eunuch Xi led the young eunuch away.

The Empress Dowager chuckled, "Oh dear! You little rascal!"

"Mother, do you think Father will agree?" Jingxue smiled. In fact, she was certain that the Emperor Emeritus would agree, but she figured he would get his revenge later. Whatever, she would take it one chance at a time.

"I don't know!" The Empress Dowager truly didn't know; she had never understood the Emperor Emeritus's temperament in her entire life.

After the commotion, the two had finished eating and asked someone to remove the food.

Soon, Eunuch Xi arrived again with his men. This time, however, his face was no longer etched with worry. He flicked his whisk and loudly proclaimed, "Emperor Emeritus's decree: Princess Consort Zhan, you wretched girl, I grant your request this time, but this is a one-time exception! Quickly bring out another good item for me!"

Jingxue, who had been standing there solemnly, burst out laughing after hearing what Eunuch Xi said. Eunuch Xi also pursed his lips to suppress his laughter, but his shoulders trembled.

Seeing Jingxue looking over, Eunuch Xi gave Jingxue a thumbs up.

"Oh dear! Your Highness, that is, Your Highness! Who else would dare to treat the Emperor Emeritus like this!"

The Empress Dowager also covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Grandpa Xi, it's actually very simple! If Xiaomeng stops singing, just put it in the sun for a few hours, and it will start making sounds again!"

"Ah! It's that simple?"

Jingxue shook her head smugly and laughed, "Yes! Haha!"

"Your Highness, please bring out whatever good things you have! This old servant must go back and report!"

"Please wait a moment, Father-in-law!" Jingxue said, lifting her skirt and quickly running into the side hall.

A moment later, she came out with an outdoor telescope in her hand. It was a high-definition low-light night vision telescope, only the size of a palm.

In modern times, you could connect your phone to watch concerts and take photos.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Eunuch Xi asked, seeing the object in Jingxue's outstretched palm.

“Grandpa Xi, this little thing is called Thousand-Mile Eye. It can be used day and night. This is the strap to hang around your neck, and this is the bag to store it!” Jingxue introduced everything to Grandpa Xi.

"Excellent! Excellent! That's wonderful! The Emperor Emeritus will surely love it!"

"Everyone loves something this good! Friendly reminder! You can look at the stars at night, but don't look anywhere else, it'll be too bright for your eyes!" Jingxue said, raising an eyebrow.

"Ah? Oh! This old servant remembers! Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Your Highness the Princess, this old servant takes his leave!" Eunuch Xi took the bag that Jingxue had already packed, bowed, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.

The Empress Dowager watched from the side the whole time. The more she looked at Jingxue, the more she liked her. This child was different from the women in the palace. She was exceptionally intelligent, lively, and full of vitality.

With her mischievous and clever appearance, her eyes sparkled with cunning, and every smile and frown was full of endless playfulness.

Such a girl is so likable. Ever since she came to Shou Kang Palace, the Empress Dowager felt that the air in the palace was lively and vibrant.

"Oh my! Xue'er, you really have a knack for this! Where do you get so many strange and wonderful things?" the Empress Dowager asked with a smile.

"Mother, you're always in the palace, so of course you don't know how many fun things there are outside! You should take good care of your health, and when you're better, you can go out and see our wonderful Great Northern Night!"

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, "Good!"

"Xue'er needs to go check on how the medicine is brewing," Jingxue said with a smile.

"Go! I'll stand up and stretch too!"

"Alright!" Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief as she walked towards the kitchen. That's how it is; every time she brings out something new, she always gets teased.

This palace is no place for a human being. Every day, those false words spill from your lips, and you have to match them with an incredibly natural expression.

Wow! If I stay here any longer, I might be able to apply to the acting department.

When Ye Muchen woke up in the morning, he had a terrible headache. He could hold his liquor, and besides, he hadn't drunk much the day before.

He mainly heard from Qin Jing and Ye Musi that they wanted to establish a girls' school with Jing Xue, especially to waive tuition fees for the families of impoverished soldiers.

It made him realize that he had overlooked many things.

He said at the time that if there was anything he could do to help, he would do his best!

Actually, what he didn't finish saying to Feng Cuier last night was that he wanted to invite Feng Cuier to the girls' school after it was built, so she could see what she could learn.

On the morning of the third day, after breakfast, the Empress Dowager sent Jingxue back to her residence. She knew that Jingxue was worried about her younger brother but didn't want to say it outright.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's condition had improved considerably, and with the best imperial physicians attending to her, Jingxue did not insist on staying any longer.

Before leaving, the Empress Dowager gave Jingxue a jade Guanyin statue, hoping that Chen'er would recover soon and the young couple could live in harmony.

Jingxue encountered Gao Chi, who was about to leave the Zhanwang Mansion, at the gate. "Your Highness, you're back! I was just about to go to the palace to find you!"

Jingxue, carrying her medicine box, dismissed the palace coachman and saw Gao Chi looking anxious. She asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, please come with me to see the Prince! He has been unconscious and the royal physician can't diagnose anything!" Gao Chi looked like he was about to cry.

"When did this happen?" Jingxue asked, puzzled. She had only been in the palace for two days, so how could this have happened?
