The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Xie Qiao smiled lightly when Xia Yayun spoke.

That was great.

They went to class a moment later.

In reality, the atmosphere in the class was rather strange. It was impossible that Master Lu did not notice that, but he pretended not to see.

He said nothing, nor did he ask anything.

Xie Qiao thought to herself, ‘This Royal Academy’s way of teaching must be free-range style, but in a suppressive manner.’

One could tell that judging by the fact that they were not allowed to bring a maid along and the gold and silver beans system.

“If you want to earn beans, you’ll have to go for other classes,” As soon as Master Lu’s class ended, someone suddenly shook Xie Qiao softly from behind. A soft sound came.

Xie Qiao turned around and looked. She was rather surprised.

That lady held her head down. “It’s hard to make 500 beans within a month. You might lose.”

“You already said that I ‘might’ only,” Xie Qiao was calm. She patted her chest to adjust her breathing.

“If you want to earn beans, you can copy books, do embroidery, or do accounting for the teachers… It’s just that the teachers have high requirements. You won’t be paid any beans if you don’t reach their standard. You’ll have to pay if you break the teachers’ belongings,” the young lady added.

The young lady looked 15 or 16, similar to her.

However, she was shorter. She seemed petite and cute.

“Thanks. You are…?”

“My name is Qin Liu.” The young lady’s cheeks blushed. She turned around and ran right after saying that.

Xie Qiao was rather stunned.

Why did she run?

Xie Qiao did not leave early today. She was going to eat at the academy. She was just thinking that it would be boring to eat alone…

She sighed softly.

Studying was hard. It was another day she missed the Taoist temple.

There were eight kitchens in the academy. They were separated into Kitchen Qian, Kun, Sun, Moon, A, B, C, and D as well.

It was similar to the canteen in her past life. It was just that they were taking care of a bunch of young masters and young mistresses, so everything looked delicious and full of variety.

Two zones were separated in each kitchen. Men and women would occupy each zone.

Xie Qiao had a rough idea of the system. As expected, when she checked out the kitchen, she realized all of the dishes had to be paid with gold and silver beans!

The dishes that could only be purchased with gold beans… were imperial cuisine!?

Xie Qiao’s eyelids twitched.

As the student of the Orchid Courtyard, she had a sachet with the image of an orchid hung on her waist.

She thought the students from Begonia Courtyard must be given special treatment since they were new. It would be ridiculous to starve them.

The problem was that Xie Qiao did not even have a silver bean.

She was weak from hunger.

She felt the silver notes in her embrace. She had never thought that there would be a day when she had money, but she had nowhere to spend it.

“Sister!” Just when Xie Qiao was going to leave, a shy voice came.

She turned her head and looked. Her eyes lit up immediately. “Xi’er?”

“Why… aren’t you eating?” Xie Xi frowned and pointed at the food. She then looked at Xie Qiao’s tummy.

Xie Qiao smiled awkwardly, “I’m just looking. It’s the same to eat at home.”

Xie Xi stood there and spaced out for a while. She held Xie Qiao’s hand without letting go. Nobody knew what she was thinking about.

After thinking to herself for a little bit, she opened her hand that was tightly gripped. There were five silver beans in there. “For you.”

Xie Qiao looked at her in surprise.

She knew from the letters in the past that Xie Xi was a little slow. She did not speak much, and she loved keeping silver.

However, now she… did not seem like that?

If she was slow, how could she tell that Xie Qiao was hungry?

Xie Qiao would hardly do a physiognomy to a kid without being asked. The reason being a kid’s bones were still growing, whereby their faces would change, and their character had yet to be set. It would not be accurate, and their fate could be changed in the future.

Xie Xi was only 12, and her face was still rather chubby now. Xie Qiao did not want to predict her life.

At that moment, she felt a tinge of warmth inside of her.

So this was her sister?
