The eunuch reported meticulously on every detail, and the Empress nodded in satisfaction.
"When spring comes next year and it's time for school, let Nian'er stay in the palace again. He won't be used to the coarse food there."
The Royal Family has a rule: in the first year of school, princes and princesses must be self-reliant, attend the Imperial College, and be treated the same as ordinary students.
The Empress, unwilling as she was to part with her son, had no other choice.
Fortunately, a small exception could still be made.
"Once Ning Yue and Ning Xue return, have them come to see me immediately. I have instructions for them. This Xiao family is becoming more unruly. Li Qian, that look of his, still dreams of replacing Nian'er. Fool's talk. Later, I will write a letter myself for you to personally deliver to the Prime Minister's Mansion. My father will understand naturally after reading it. This Xiao family needs to be taught a lesson."
