Chapter 27: The Truth

Cui Yu pulled the palace maid out from behind the tree, the palace maid had obviously been here for a long time, and when she saw Cuiyu's slap that made half of Duan Shishi's face swollen, she subconsciously wanted to break free of Cui Yu's confinement.

Seeing this, Cui Yu raised her right hand and patted her lightly where she was, and she immediately became paralyzed, so she could only let Cui Yu pull her back, drag her to Xiao Xuan, and throw her to the ground.

Xiao Xuan leaned over to look at the palace maid's face, which looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"Green Forest, you come here to recognize someone for me." Xiao Xuan didn't bother to think about it herself, and directly called Lu Lin over to recognize people for her.

Green Forest has always liked to socialize, and she has met a lot of people in private in various palaces. Because she is a first-class palace maid by Xiao Xuan's side, Xiao Xuan is also generous to her subordinates on weekdays, and it is more convenient for her to inquire about the news, and she can know as soon as there is a disturbance in each palace. Therefore, Xiao Xuan got some news earlier than Emperor Liu's concubine.

"Yes, Princess." Lu Lin hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down, but the palace maid still couldn't move, and let Lu Lin look back and forth a few times.

"Well, do you recognize it?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Back to the princess, the slave and maid recognize it. Her name is Brother Parrot, and she is a second-class palace maid in Concubine Chen's Yuxiu Palace, so she was transferred to serve by the eldest princess. Green Forest got up and replied. A few days ago, didn't the second princess bump into the eldest princess in Mingguang Palace, and she was standing behind the eldest princess that time. ”

"Oh, it's the one in front of the big sister." Xiao Xuan said. "It's a coincidence, why is there such a big battle in the Imperial Garden today, and you are hiding there to watch?"

Brother Parrot lowered his head and didn't reply, Xiao Xuan gave a look, and Cui Yu immediately leaned over and grabbed Brother Parrot's placket. With a slight force in her hand, Cui Yu lifted her up from the ground. Cui Yu is tall, and he lifted the petite and delicate parrot brother off the ground with a casual mention.

"Why don't you reply, princess?" Cui Yu asked coldly, and grabbed Brother Parrot's neck with one hand, slightly making Brother Li's face immediately turn red.

"Back to ..... Return...... Back to the princess, the slave just happened to pass by. Brother Parrot was so pinched that his eyes almost rolled white, and he nodded again and again, before Cui Yu let go of the hand that was holding her neck and threw her to the ground again. The slave saw the crowd in the distance, and she was curious for a moment, so she stopped to watch. I really didn't know that the second princess was here, the slave and maid collided with the second princess, and asked the second princess to forgive her sins, and the slave and maid would not dare next time. ”

Xiao Xuan listened to Brother Parrot's defense and smiled disapprerovingly.

"Do you believe what you say?" Xiao Xuan asked Brother Parrot. "Brother Parrot, don't think that others are as stupid as you if you are stupid."

"Princess, where did the slave dare to deceive Her Royal Highness." Out of the corner of his eye, Brother Parrot caught a glimpse of Cui Yu raising his hand again, and he was so frightened that he suddenly fell to the ground, kowtowing and crying and begging. "The slave is really unintentional."

"Whether you did it unintentionally or deliberately." Xiao Xuan looked at Sister Ying, who had been silent beside her. "I knew it was only half a year of confinement, how could I let my big sister change her temper so easily. I really don't know what kind of deep hatred we sisters had in our last life, so that we became sisters in this life, and the big sister is so unrelenting and opposes me. ”

After Xiao Xuan said this, Brother Parrot, who was kneeling on the ground, only trembled vigorously, where did he dare to answer Xiao Xuan's words.

"I thought it wouldn't be good for you, but the eldest sister Mingren is biased towards doing dark things, and she knows that if she gets into trouble with me again, her father will punish her. simply provoked Hu Shishi to teach my cousin a lesson, and wanted to ruin my cousin's appearance to disgust me and my mother. Xiao Xuan said. But in this way, it seems that at least my sister has not learned anything in the past six months. ”

"Forget it, princess." Sister Ying has been in the palace for some time, and she has obviously heard of the great achievements of this eldest princess. "Miss Hu has been punished, and she has been properly diagnosed and treated for her paintings. Those things that have no shadow, princess don't pursue them anymore. ”

"Cousin Ying, rest assured. I'm not my sister who is eager to repay and has a small heart, and I also know that this kind of thing is all tongue-piercing without real evidence. Xiao Xuan appeased Sister Ying'er, and instead ordered Cui Yu to do it. Cui Yu, Brother Parrot bumped into me, you can give her two slaps for me. After the fight, you personally took her to Yuxiu Palace, in order not to let Concubine Chen and the eldest sister misunderstand me, you should tell them what happened today. ”

"Yes."

"Hey, wait a minute." Cui Yu grabbed Brother Parrot's front placket and was about to make a move, but Xiao Xuan stopped her again. "Let's wait until we're gone."

"Yes."

Xiao Xuan sent Sister Ying back to Mingguang Palace, and Mingguang Palace was very quiet at this time.

"Princess, wait." Xiao Xuan sent Sister Ying back to the room, and when she was about to say goodbye and leave, Sister Ying, who had nothing to say, called out to her.

Xiao Xuan turned around when she heard the voice, Sister Ying looked at Xiao Xuan, who was only in her early nine years old now, but she didn't know what to say to her.

"Cousin Ying, don't you think I don't look like a nine-year-old child today?" Xiao Xuan's big eyes purred around, and he said with a smile. "Cousin Ying, I grew up in the deep palace, and I was born from a favorite concubine and was pampered, but my life may not be as happy as that of a girl from an ordinary family outside. I can't really be like a nine-year-old kid and let someone like Hu Shishi show off in front of me. ”

"It's all my fault." Sister Ying looked at Xiao Xuan and apologized from the bottom of her heart. "It's me who has affected the second princess today."

"That's not the case, Cousin Ying should know that she has a future when she enters the palace this time. You are my cousin now, and you will be my sixth brother's concubine in the future. Whether Hu Shishi has bad intentions or is provoked by others, she dares to wait for the opportunity to push you into the rose bush with the intention of ruining your appearance before the marriage will be revealed, this matter is not only your business. Xiao Xuan's demeanor when she spoke at this time was much more relaxed, more like her own age. We all know that Hu Shishi will be the future second prince and concubine, and they naturally know that you are the future sixth prince and concubine. ”

"I.... I know. Sister Ying listened to Xiao Xuan's words, and hesitated for a long time before finally saying again.

"Today's incident is out of trouble, and it won't be convenient for me to come to talk to my cousin for a while." Xiao Xuan turned around and looked into the courtyard, raised his eyebrows and smiled. "But after that, there will be people in the Mingguang Palace who will come to find Cousin Ying's friends and talk."

Xiao Xuan quietly slipped into the gate of Yihua Palace, as if he was afraid of alarming someone.

Fortunately, it seems that today, Emperor Liu's concubine does not seem to be in Yihua Palace, and the palace is very quiet. After walking for a long time, Xiao Xuan let out a long breath and hurried back to his dormitory.

But as soon as she entered the door, as soon as she looked up, she saw Liu Huang Guifei and Liu Shufu sitting in her front hall drinking tea.

But Xiao Xuan didn't notice her when she saw that the two were concentrating on drinking tea, and hurriedly turned around to leave.

"Yo, isn't this Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, who is majestic in the Imperial Garden today, and makes her female flag guards beat people?" Before Xiao Xuan's body could turn around, Emperor Liu opened her mouth with a smile with tea. "Why do you have to leave when you come back? Come, sit down beside the concubine, and tell her about your great achievements in the imperial garden today. ”

"Mother, I was wrong." Xiao Xuan cried with a sad face, and walked in front of Emperor Liu's concubine resignedly, and admitted her mistake very obediently.

"What's wrong with the second princess?" Concubine Liu asked her in surprise.

"Mother, I know your concerns. Cui Yu has kung fu in his hands, and the slap he gave to Hu Shishi today was quite a lot, which made Hu Shishi's face swollen for two more days, and when the traces disappeared after two days, nothing could be seen. Xiao Xuan knew that today's scolding was probably impossible to dodge, so he said directly. Besides, Hu Shishi was disrespectful to me, sarcastically saying that I was just a princess, and if I waited for the second brother to take the throne in the future, I could only rely on her to snort to live, so I let Cui Yu beat her. ”

"Forget it, it's all fought." Emperor Liu's concubine naturally heard about what had just happened in the Imperial Garden. "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf from His Majesty, and Hu Shishi is not more noble than you even if she marries into the palace. She was beaten early, but it was a good thing for her. ”

"Ah, mother, aren't you going to scold me today?" Xiao Xuan looked at Emperor Liu's concubine in surprise.

Concubine Liu only glanced at her, didn't bother to pay attention to her, and took a sip of tea with a teacup.

"Why, Her Royal Highness the princess still expects the imperial concubine to scold you?" Liu Shufu smiled and beckoned to Xiao Xuan. "After such a scene, the princess will sit down and drink tea together."

"But I heard that Hu Shishi's family and the queen's mother's family are in-laws, and Hu Shishi can also call the queen a cousin." Xiao Xuan held the teacup, raised his eyes and carefully looked at Emperor Liu's expression and said. "If I hit her, will the queen send someone to reprimand me?"

"It turns out that you know this, how come you didn't think of these before you let Cui Yu do it." Concubine Liu looked at Xiao Xuan with a frightened look on her face, and said angrily. "The queen mother just knows that you swelled Hu Shishi's face, and she can't say anything about you. Hu Shishi was frivolous, the words she said to you in the imperial garden, if it really made a big fuss, it would come to your father. I'm afraid that the concubine carefully selected by the queen mother for the second prince will be abolished, and the queen mother can't wait for Hu Shishi to swallow this matter in her stomach. ”

Because a noble daughter of a family is about to become the princess and concubine, she dares not to put the royal princess in her eyes, where would Emperor Chu, who is the most protective of her shortcomings, allow such a person to marry her son.

When Hu Shishi relaxes, she should know the severity, and this matter will be covered up.
