Chapter 1061: Chapter 1057: Mother and Daughter Quarrel
Jun Ruoxue had left quite a while ago, and Su Pan’er remained in her original position, not even blinking her eyes.
Qingwen stepped forward and gently draped a thin cloak over her, but it startled Su Pan’er awake.
"What time is it now?"
"Replying to Empress, it’s almost noon. The First Princess is about to finish her lessons, and the meals in the Imperial Kitchen are almost ready,"
Qingwen reported with a smile, just waiting for the First Princess to finish her lessons so she could serve the meal.
"Is the scallion braised mushrooms that the First Princess loves to eat prepared?"
Thinking of how Little Yanyan had been particularly fond of this scallion braised mushrooms recently, Su Pan’er specifically asked.
"They’re all ready. Chef Zhou from the Imperial Kitchen personally took charge of the preparation, using Mount Wutai mushrooms, which are fresh, tender, and nutritious. The First Princess will definitely like them," Qingwen said with a face full of smiles when it came to food.
"That’s good, speaking of which..."
Su Pan’er was going to say something more, but suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps from outside.
"Empress Mother! Empress Mother, it’s not good! Empress Mother..."
Yan Yan ran all the way, rushing up to Su Pan’er and was panting so hard she couldn’t even finish her sentences.
Su Pan’er immediately narrowed her eyes, "How have I taught you? I sent you to the teacher to learn writing and manners, but look at you now! Are these the manners you’ve learned? Is this palace a place for you to run around? What would people think!"
Little Yanyan didn’t listen to Su Pan’er’s scolding at all.
She stamped her feet anxiously, "Empress Mother, Luo Luo, Luo Luo is gone! Empress Mother, please help Yan Yan find Luo Luo, hurry up, hurry please!"
"What happened to Luo Luo?"
Su Pan’er was too concerned to scold Little Yanyan and quickly asked the surrounding people.
Jiu Lan promptly stepped forward, "First Princess, do not worry. That crested myna made noise here previously, which annoyed the Empress, so your servant had them take it outside. Please wait a moment, Princess, your servant will fetch it for you right away."
"Did you perhaps hang Luo Luo up at Huxin Pavilion?"
Not waiting for Jiu Lan to leave, Yan Yan stomped her foot anxiously, "I just came from there. The empty cage that once held Luo Luo is still at Huxin Pavilion, but the bird inside is gone!"
Now, everyone, including Su Pan’er, was alarmed.
"Hurry and see what exactly happened!"
Su Pan’er ordered, and before anyone had even walked out of the grand hall, a Palace Maid from outside brought in the birdcage, "Here it is, this is the birdcage. This birdcage was brought from Huxin Pavilion."
This birdcage was quite special; not only was it exquisitely crafted, but also the bird food jar, water vat, and other items inside were made by master craftsmen. Though not priceless, they were certainly very valuable.
At this moment, the birdcage, devoid of its bird, hung empty and swayed in mid-air, and at the edge of the door, a black feather remained, trembling slightly in the wind.
It was the cage for the crested myna Luo Luo! She recognized its feathers.
She stood up and approached, reaching into the cage to pull out the feather, examining it carefully. This black feather was a wing feather, which typically does not fall off easily compared to feathers from other parts of the body. Especially this one in her hand, which still had some sticky residue at the base, clearly indicated that someone had forcibly yanked it from the bird!
Su Pan’er’s expression changed immediately, and she issued a command, "Quickly! Have the servants search to see if the bird has flown away on its own."
Someone immediately responded and went down to search.
But Yan Yan started to cry out loud, her tears flowing more heartbreakingly with each sob.
"Luo Luo, I want Luo Luo, I want Luo Luo..."
"Stop crying!"
Su Pan’er scolded. She had been feeling somewhat irritable today, and Little Yanyan’s crying only intensified her irritation.
"You cry, but will Luo luo come flying back on its own? Since crying is useless, why do you keep crying?"
Little Yanyan’s sobs were abruptly stifled. She didn’t know whether to cry or to stop in front of her mother. Her little red, rabbit-like eyes softened Su Pan’er’s heart immensely.
She quickly softened her voice, "Alright, wipe your tears. Let’s wait a while longer, we should get some news soon."
As she spoke, she gently wiped away her tears.
The next moment, she cried even louder.
"Empress Mother, I want my Luo luo, woo woo woo..."
She cried and ceaselessly dabbed at her tears.
"Don’t cry, be good! Little Yanyan, don’t cry. You’re the bravest, aren’t you? We’ll definitely find Luo luo, so don’t cry..."
Su Pan’er hugged Little Yanyan, comforting her non-stop with aching heart.
The cold wind howled, stirring the lake into countless ripples and threw minds into disarray.
Initially, Palace Maids and Eunuchs in the grand hall began the search, but somehow the news reached His Majesty’s ears.
Busy with court affairs and unable to come himself, His Majesty sent the Imperial Guard to help look for Luo luo.
Yet, Luo luo remained unfound.
After a bout of intense crying, Little Yanyan’s eyes were swollen and red. She did not even attend her classes, listlessly leaning on Su Pan’er’s chest.
Not even her favorite scallion braised mushrooms could arouse her interest now.
As time quietly slipped by during the search, everyone speculated that the bird either had met with misfortune or had flown away never to return. Of course, this was not the answer Little Yanyan was hoping to hear. After pondering for a moment, Su Pan’er patted her shoulder, signaling her to get up.
"The bird may be missing, but life has to go on. Don’t you have your Vocal Music Class this afternoon? Go get ready, it’s almost time for the class."
"No, I don’t want to go!"
Little Yanyan was being stubborn, pouting and refusing to go.
"Which is more important, a bird or your studies?"
Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow, her gaze stern, "Immediately, right now, go wash and rinse, then follow Nanny to change into fresh clothes for school."
Little Yanyan pouted, refusing to move.
"Hm?"
The word from Su Pan’er’s nose signaled mounting anger, "The disappearance of a bird is not a reason for you to skip class. If you don’t go now, don’t blame me for applying the ruler and enforcing family rules."
"No, I won’t go, I just won’t!"
Little Yanyan became rebellious, clamoring at Su Pan’er with heartbreaking sobs, "I don’t have an Empress Mother like you. You’re cold-blooded, cruel, you have no humanity at all! You’re not saddened by Luo luo’s disappearance, you don’t deserve to be my mother!"
Her words infuriated Su Pan’er, filling her with both rage and annoyance!
If a bird has gone missing, should she cry tears and sulk just like her to be considered sad?
"Fine, fine, fine, if I don’t deserve to be your mother, then go find someone else to be your mother. A mere bird has gone missing, and you know to cry for it. But in a blink, you dismiss the mother who bore you, raised you, and protected you as you grew! You really have learned a lot!"
