Chapter 218: How is She Suitable?

Xiaosuisui blinked. She seemed to understand what the pretty sister meant: whatever she said would come true!

"Pretty sister, do you mean that whatever I say now will come true?"

Xie Pan’Er didn’t respond and turned her gaze to Huo Xing’Er.

She could feel that among these people, Huo Xing’Er seemed to be the one who understood everything. Moreover, when it came to discussing the Princess’s unique ability, Huo Xing’Er had shown great kindness towards her.

Huo Xing’Er smiled at her and advised, "Use your utmost ability to guide her towards kindness, to distinguish good from evil!"

The moment Huo Xing’Er spoke these words, Old Madam Ji and Zhu Xiuxiu, who were standing beside her, both furrowed their brows.

This Xie Pan’Er is still just a young girl herself! Can she really teach our precious treasure properly?

The young Emperor also looked at Huo Xing’Er. "Second Madam, I have already assigned teaching Nannies for Suisui. Miss Xie is still a child herself. It’s probably not appropriate for her to guide Suisui, wouldn’t you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Xing’Er smiled and said, "Your Majesty is quite right.

"However, Your Majesty may not be aware that Suisui has much to learn about this world. The Nannies you’ve assigned can teach her rules and etiquette, feminine skills and virtues, but they cannot accompany her and explore the black and white of this world together with Suisui.

"Suisui is still too young. Take what just happened, for example. Suisui’s prayer to the heavens was for rain, all because her pretty sister felt hot and needed to cool down.

"But what if, from another perspective, the person beside Suisui wasn’t her pretty sister, but someone else who knew of Suisui’s ability and asked her for something different?

"Consider Yang City. When Xie Yingying argued with Suisui, the casual retorts Suisui uttered resulted in consequences for Xie Yingying far more terrible than what Suisui had casually said."

"Even so, how can you be certain she is suitable?" the Emperor asked.

Huo Xing’Er is challenging my authority somewhat today,

the young Emperor mused.

"I am certain!" Huo Xing’Er stated.

The Emperor continued, "I cannot see how she is suitable. On the contrary, I find her rather audacious. What if she eventually becomes the very person you’re worried about? What then?"

"She won’t!" Huo Xing’Er stated with conviction.

"Why? Give me a reason that can convince me!"

"If Your Majesty desires a reason, why not ask Miss Xie herself?"

Ask me?

Xie Pan’Er, still holding Xiaosuisui, felt her arms begin to ache. She looked at Huo Xing’Er with a stunned expression.

Ji Youzhi noticed she was struggling to hold Xiaosuisui and stepped forward to take the child from her.

Only then did Xie Pan’Er nervously ask Huo Xing’Er, "Second Madam! What... what am I supposed to say?"

Huo Xing’Er’s lips curved slightly into a faint smile. She then asked, "When did you discover Suisui’s ability?"

"Should I tell the absolute truth?" Xie Pan’Er glanced at everyone present.

To be honest, she always felt their gazes on her were so intense, as if they could see right through her, a truly penetrating stare!

"Tell the truth," Huo Xing’Er encouraged her. "Speak boldly."

"Alright then, I’ll speak!"

"Go on."

"I first noticed it when we were in Yang City."

"Yang City?" the young Emperor repeated, his voice tight.

The young Emperor gritted his teeth. He had made Xiaosuisui a Princess back in Nanyang Town, and they had spent so much time together on their journey. How had he failed to notice his daughter’s incredible ability? Yet this Miss Xie, who had only met his precious daughter briefly at the restaurant in Yang City, without even exchanging a single word, had somehow figured it out!
