Xie Pan'Er knew what Nanny Zhang was thinking, but she didn't concern herself with it. Using various excuses, she had sent everyone out of the Courtyard before returning.
Xiaosuisui was playing with Xiaobai, making it leap about.
Ever since Xiaobai had fought with the phoenix in the Palace, Xiaosuisui had become particularly fond of watching Xiaobai leap and bound!
Sometimes, she would even ask Xie Pan'Er, "Beautiful Sister, when Xiaobai jumps, don't you think it looks like a cat pouncing on a mouse?"
When Nanny Zhang saw Xie Pan'Er return alone, she said nothing. She simply fetched a meditation mat and a wooden ruler, and waited in the small Courtyard.
"Princess! It's time to learn your etiquette."
Xie Pan'Er took Xiaosuisui's hand and walked outside.
"Nanny! What are we learning today?" Xiaosuisui asked.
Nanny Zhang replied in a measured tone, "We are learning the grand kowtow ceremony, which descendants of the Royal Family must perform on important occasions!"
