Chapter 342 So Much Fun! A Tang Dynasty Princess Makes a Surprise Appearance at the Middle School En
Si Zi had no idea that she had such a complicated relationship with Du Xiaobing... In late spring, the crabapple blossoms fell to the ground along the Taiye Pond.
Little Sizi leaned against the vermilion railing of the winding corridor, clutching a half-rolled book and reading intently. In the distance, in the waterside pavilion, Qiu Rongmu was drinking and laughing with Du Xiaobing, the daughter of the newly appointed top scholar. The silver sachet tied to her waist swayed gently with her movements; it was a gift she had embroidered herself for three months, intended as a token of her affection for him on Qixi Festival.
"Is Your Highness looking at Young Master Qiu again?" Xiao Yao, the personal maid, approached with a celadon teacup in hand, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. "If I may be so bold as to overhear something, that Miss Liu is so beautiful, with skin as white as ice and bones as jade, that has led others to gossip about the princess..."
Upon hearing this, Si Zi sighed and said, "It's all my fault for being careless lately." Of course, Si Zi wouldn't act like a wronged woman in a storybook, grabbing the jade hairpin from the mother-of-pearl box and staging a tragic scene of "the mirror shattering and the birds flying away" (although the imagery is quite captivating).
...The troubles of those young ladies in the palace? They don't exist for her! Now she has to hurry up and find that wild ginseng! She was like a child whose candy had been taken away, somewhat regretting her recent neglect of her health.
Before the bronze mirror, Si Zi gave her face a "death stare"—yes, she was indeed stunningly beautiful, easily surpassing Du Xiaobing by more than three imperial garden corridors! But the flickering candlelight, like a malicious paparazzi, precisely focused on the tiny "sesame seeds" on the tip of her nose—in her eyes, who championed the "natural beauty" look, this was simply a major safety incident in the world of adorable little girls' looks!
Xiao Yao, who didn't have much experience with makeup, anxiously confirmed that the annoying thing was indeed the "blackheads" her master had mentioned. Holding a box of newly arrived Persian imported concealer bestowed by the Emperor (which was said to cover everything except conscience), she said sincerely but with a hint of despair, "Your Highness, look at this... this Persian magic cream can only cover things temporarily, not forever..."
Si Zi wholeheartedly agreed: "Sigh, the more I use it, the more clogged the 'secret guards' on the tip of my nose become. No, I have to think of a way to make these blackheads submit their resignations to this princess tonight!!"
The bronze mirror reflected the slight furrow between Si Zi's brows. She rubbed her cute nose, the oil that even seven applications of pearl powder the day before couldn't suppress was now gleaming annoyingly.
"Looking like this, she's too naive. How can she possibly compete with the young lady of the Liu family..." She sighed at the person in the mirror. She had already come up with a plan and couldn't wait to travel back in time to be reborn.
"Zi'an!" Si Zi turned around abruptly, startling Shi Xiaoyao so much that she almost spilled the poria cocos paste that had just been brought over. "Call Zi'an here!"
Zi An appeared immediately.
"Quickly send someone to find some wild ginseng. Get me two wild ginseng roots, no matter what, even on credit!" Zi'an blinked her refined almond-shaped eyes, looking at Xiao Sizi's suddenly flushed ears. "Princess, what's wrong..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted. "Naturally, I'm going to handle something important!" The Empress turned her face away, her hair ornaments jingling softly. "That old scoundrel Qiu family is secretly colluding with foreign enemies. This time, I will definitely infiltrate their den and uncover all their crimes!"
She clutched her embroidered handkerchief, recalling the scene she'd witnessed the other day—Qiu Rongmu chatting happily with the Liu family girl—and felt an overwhelming sense of resentment. The lingering pimples in the bronze mirror gleamed faintly in the candlelight, a silent mockery of the young girl's love-struck mind…
Cong Xiaoye and her master Niwanzi finally managed to obtain enough wild ginseng for Sizi to travel through time, and Sizi's wish came true, and she returned to the modern world.
The smoke from the wild ginseng burning in the incense burner swirled like a dragon, and Si Zi felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, the smell of ink mixed with the sweaty smell of his school uniform hit him.
她眼前密密麻麻的试卷上,“2025年6月28日中考数学试题“几个大字刺得她瞳孔骤缩,监考老师的电子手表正显示10:00——距离交卷只剩30分钟! “那些复杂的公式竟变成这般鬼画符!
Si Zi, clutching the pencil for filling in the answer sheet, trembled. Glancing at the student at the next table filling in their answer sheet with practiced ease, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and began to mentally process the formulas in her head: "If the Tang Dynasty had such an imperial examination, Di Renjie would probably be driven mad by these tadpole-like formulas!"
The moment the bell rang, signaling the end of the exam, Si Zi slammed her answer sheet, filled with phrases like "This is how the essay for the palace examination should be written...", onto the podium. Her gold-embroidered ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) swept past the stunned proctor. Like a wild horse, she rushed out of the examination hall, snatched the smartphone from her father's hand—which was still playing a short video—and began frantically swiping, the screen crackling.
"How did you get through security dressed like that?" The security guard on duty at the school gate stared at her swaying gold hairpin and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Is the girl really that desperate for the exam?!" The father stared at Zhen Xiaosi, who was dressed like this, holding her admission ticket and standing there dumbfounded. The three characters "Zhen Xiaosi" on the plastic cover were wrinkled from cold sweat. He was annoyed that her mother hadn't checked the child's clothes that morning and thought that Xiaosi was checking her phone to see if she was correct.
"Dad, I need to go to the beauty salon."
"What? Girl? Don't scare your dad. Whatever the result is, it's fine!" The father was a little worried about his daughter's mental state.
"Little Si! Why go to a beauty salon? Go after the exam. There's a combined law and history paper from 14:00 PM to 15:40 PM! Let's take a break at noon since it's an open-book exam!"
"I want my blackheads removed immediately!" Si Zi, wearing three-inch embroidered shoes, darted across the zebra crossing, followed by a series of screeching brakes.
The moment the customer service representative's greeting came through the receiver, she roared into the phone, "Prepare the secret technique immediately! Don't keep me waiting until 3:45 PM tomorrow!"
Onlookers frantically filmed with their phones, some laughing and shouting into the live stream camera: "Family members, who would understand! A girl in a Tang suit went crazy in the exam hall..." The father, his face flushed, chased after her, trying to grab her sleeve, but she shoved him away: "Dad, you don't understand, don't try to stop me!"
Just then, a fawning, trembling voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Ms. Zhen Xiaosi? We'll arrange a Bentley immediately! License plate number Song A. It will pick you up at the flagship store at 3:40 sharp after your exam!"
Sizi hung up the phone, her phoenix eyes sweeping over her father's petrified expression. The brocade peonies on her skirt suddenly bloomed in the sunlight: "Don't worry, your daughter will definitely become the top scholar!"
