"Miss, Miss, the eldest lady sprained her foot just now." Fu Junyue, the second lady of the Fu family, was carefully selecting the dresses and jewelry to wear when she entered the palace tomorrow, when she suddenly saw the maid Fu'er running in and shouting.

At this time, Fu Junyue was holding a golden step and shaking it on her head to try it on, hearing her words, her eyes kept moving, but her face was extremely regretful, and she sighed and said: "Sister is too careless, tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the concubine, why did you sprain your foot at this time?" I don't know if it's serious, let's go, let's go and have a look. In fact, she couldn't hope that her sister would directly have a crippled foot, so that she would no longer be qualified to compete with her for the crown prince.

When Fu Junyue led the maid to Fu Junyao's room, it was in chaos, and Fu Junyao's painful screams came from time to time, mixed with angry scolding of the maid.

Fu Junyue looked at this scene and guessed that Fu Junyao's foot injury should not be light, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart. She adjusted her expression before she stepped forward and asked with a worried face, "Is my sister's injury serious?" Okay, why did you suddenly sprain your foot? ”

Fu Junyao saw that this sister, who had always been at odds with her, was suddenly so enthusiastic, how could she not know her intentions, but she was afraid that she wished she died sooner. She thought so in her heart, but her face was silent, and she said bitterly: "I was just playing with the goldfish by the pool, who knew that the stones on the edge of the pool slacked and fell, causing me to almost slide into the pool, and finally although I was pulled by the maid in time and did not fall into the water, I sprained my foot, you see, my feet are swollen and a big piece, and I died of pain." ”

When Fu Junyue saw it, she really saw that her ankles were red and swollen, and she was even more happy in her heart, she pretended to look at Xiaolian Xiaohui and scolded: "How do you serve your sister, why don't you hurt my sister so seriously, why don't you go and see why the doctor hasn't arrived yet." ”

Xiaolian Xiaohui responded with a panicked expression, and hurriedly ordered the other maids to ask for a doctor again.

"Sister, do you feel like you can still walk on your feet?" Fu Junyue looked at Fu Junyao and asked with concern again.

Fu Junyao sighed heavily, endured the pain and said: "Where can I still walk, it hurts terribly if I move a little, it's really unlucky, I wouldn't have gone to the pool if I knew it." ”

Fu Junyue said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" Tomorrow is the birthday of the concubine, and the emperor means that everyone who receives the post must participate, and my sister may not be able to go like this. ”

Fu Junyao regretted and was heartbroken, "I'm also worried about this matter, I was ready for everything, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen suddenly, I really want to go, but I really have more than enough heart and strength, tomorrow I can only ask my sister and mother to say a few more good words for me in front of the concubine." ”

Fu Junyue, who was active, faintly felt that something was wrong at this time. Others don't know, but she knows very well in her heart how much her sister longs for the position of the crown princess. Tomorrow is the birthday of the concubine, and when the time comes, not only can she see the prince, but it is also a great opportunity to show herself, she knows that her sister has been preparing for a long time in order to be able to overpower everyone at this birthday banquet.

My sister sprained her foot at this time, which caused her to be unable to attend the birthday banquet tomorrow, which means that all her previous efforts were in vain and fell short. For anyone, he can't be calm in the face of such a result, he must be angry, regretful and remorseful, but my sister doesn't have too many reactions and mood swings, which is not in line with my sister's temperament and common sense, unless there is another reason.

When Fu Junyue thought about these things clearly, her heart gradually became heavy, and it must not be a trivial matter to make her sister give up such a good opportunity, she must find out as soon as possible.

She suppressed her troubled thoughts, smiled at Fu Junyao and comforted: "Please let my sister recuperate with peace of mind, tomorrow my mother and I will explain to my sister, the concubine Niangniang is generous, and I don't want to care." After finishing speaking, she got up and said goodbye: "Sister, I am not ready to enter the palace tomorrow, I have to go back first, so I will not accompany my sister." ”

"Okay, sister, go get busy." Fu Junyao didn't keep her much, and said in passing.

When Fu Junyue left, her eyes swept to Xiaolian who was waiting on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning was self-evident.

Xiaolian couldn't help but tremble when she received her gaze, her face changed slightly, and she hung her head very uneasily.

After Fu Junyue left, Xiaolian stayed for a while, and then said to Fu Junyao: "Miss, the slave maid went out to see why the doctor hadn't arrived yet." ”

Fu Junyao did not doubt him, and nodded in response.

After Xiaolian went out, she did not walk towards the main road leading to the mansion gate, but quickly turned into a secluded small courtyard to avoid people.

"II...... Second Miss. Xiaolian came to the hidden courtyard wall, saw the people waiting there, and cried out in panic.

Fu Junyue turned to face her, with a faint smile on her face, "Xiaolian, you know, I won't come to you if I'm fine, you should know what I'm looking for you this time." ”

Xiaolian's hands were tightly twisted together uneasily, and she pretended to be confused: "Slaves don't ...... Ignorance. ”

Fu Junyue was not angry, she still looked kind, and said without waves: "Three months ago, I saw you and the little guy ...... here."

Xiaolian suddenly 'pounced' on her knees, and prayed with tears streaming down her face: "The slave knows her mistake, please open the second lady's net and let the slave and him live." ”

Fu Junyue didn't say anything, and continued: "You know, the Emperor's Mansion has strict family rules, and the old lady and lady can't see this kind of unbearable thing, if this matter spreads, you will definitely be beaten to death." ”

Xiaolian was terrified, kept kowtowing heavily, crying and begging: "The slave knows the mistake, the slave knows the mistake, the second lady is very kind, and the slave is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay." ”

Fu Junyue stretched out her hand in front of her and said with a smile: "That's right, every time I scare you like this, you are willing to be obedient and obedient, get up." ”

"Miss Xie Er." Xiaolian kowtowed again before standing up trembling with her hand.

Fu Junyue tidied up her messy hair, and said kindly: "I'm not the kind of ruthless lord, you will marry sooner or later, I can't do the thing of beating mandarin ducks, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you and him are safe, maybe I can help you achieve good things in the end." ”

Hearing a few words, Xiaolian warmed her heart, wiped her tears and said, "What does the second miss want to know, please ask, the slave must tell the second miss what she knows." ”

"Good." Fu Junyue smiled slightly and asked the doubts in her heart.

Fu Junyue, Xiaolian and Fu'er talked secretly under the courtyard wall for a while before they dispersed.

On the way back, Fu'er asked Fu Junyue worriedly: "Miss, will you still enter the palace tomorrow?" What if I fall in love with the Dragon Prince? ”

Fu Junyue sneered: "Why don't you go, maybe I can help my sister then." ”
