Concubine Liu didn't really fall asleep after lying down, but she was secretly thinking about why the eldest princess of Yongshou would bring Mu Tingyu to the palace.

The eldest sister has always been in good health, and suddenly said that she was sick without warning, presumably because she was angry that Emperor Liu rejected her.

But the eldest prince of Yongshou mainly brought Mu Tingyu to the palace to escape the summer together, and Emperor Liu's concubine thought it was reasonable to come. Because although even if the marriage contract between Mu Tingyu and Xiao Xuan is not successful, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Mu Tingyu will stay in the imperial capital for the future.

Even so, now Emperor Chu will stay in the palace of Feiyu Mountain for at least three months, during which the five princes can only come to greet Emperor Chu every once in a while because they have official duties.

Princess Mu is the eldest daughter of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and she has royal blood, so Mu Tingyu can naturally be regarded as a close branch of the clan. The eldest princess of Yongshou brought him here this time, and it must have been because Emperor Chu had no close juniors around him except for the two princesses. If Mu Tingyu can get a little bit of the blue eyes of Emperor Chu, not only will Mu Tingyu's life in the imperial capital be better in the future, but the situation of Mu Wangfu will only be better in the future.

Concubine Liu thought for a while, and the gentle breeze outside the window made her gradually fall asleep.

On the painting boat, there was already a quarrel between Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu originally thought that the fact that he cried and begged Emperor Chu to make Liu Changjun a concubine did not leak out, but he didn't expect Xiao Xuan to know about it.

Xiao Xuan was not only not afraid of Xiao Lu's threat, but also deliberately pointed out that she and Duan Shaolan were unmarried women and unmarried men, so they had a relationship between men and women in private. As long as Xiao Xuan goes to ask Emperor Chu, if Emperor Chu feels sorry for her, after the will to give marriage is issued, who will talk about Xiao Xuan.

But when he cried and begged Emperor Chu, Liu Changjun not only had a fiancée, but also got married not long after.

The young ladies of the family who were still attracted by Xiao Xuan's gossip just now, their eyes were successfully attracted to Xiao Lu by Xiao Xuan's few words.

The Jokhang was civilized, and there were not many rules for interacting between young unmarried men and women. In addition, in the imperial capital, the marriage between the family and the official family has become a trend, so it is all related to the family.

Nowadays, unmarried boys and girls have some private interactions with each other, and as long as they do not break the rules of the lowest line, the elders in the family agree with such exchanges.

After all, wishful thinking is better than blind marriage, and it will be relatively long-term and happy.

Everyone listened to Xiao Xuan's words, and whispered that Emperor Chu did not agree to Xiao Lu's request back then, could it be that the candidate she fancied was a man who had already made a marriage contract or even a man who had already been married?

Xiao Lu looked at Xiao Xuan's provocative eyes, and vaguely listened to the faint chatter of the young ladies behind them, like a thorn in the back.

"Xiao Xuan!" Xiao Lu became more and more angry, and stood up suddenly, staring at Xiao Xuan condescendingly.

"Big sister, wouldn't it be nice to be like this earlier, why pretend to be in harmony with my sister." Xiao Xuan didn't care at all about her change of face, turned her head to look at the little county lord, Sister Chu, and the ladies of the family and said with a smile. "But it makes you laugh, if there are people who want to leave the painting boat and go ashore now, and the painting boat is following at any time, I can send someone to see you off."

The little county lord of the Xianwang Mansion whispered to comfort Sister Chu, who was about to cry out in fright, with a calm face. The little county lord was born noble, and she was given the title of county lord when she landed, and her mother's maiden family was also a prominent clan. She has always been good friends with Xiao Xuan, and she is not as frightened by Xiao Lu, the eldest princess, as other ladies from the family.

"Xiao Xuan, I am your eldest sister in the end, do you still have the respect and humility of the elders and young in your heart?!" Xiao Lu saw that Xiao Xuan didn't care about her appearance at all, and her anger rose from her heart.

"Big sister, am I not enough to back down to you?" Xiao Xuan lowered his head, holding an empty teacup in his hand, and his fingers subconsciously rubbed on the outer edge of the teacup. "Are you really saying that I'm a grumpy, unruly mud that you let people know about my life?"

Xiao Lu knew that Linhe would show her tracks sooner or later, but she didn't expect her tracks to be dragged by Xiao Xuan so quickly.

Xiao Lu was so angry that she flicked her sleeves suddenly, and a plate of pastries on the table was swept to the ground by her sleeves.

The delicate pastry was scattered all over the floor, dusty and dirty, and the plate fell to the ground and split apart instantly.

After a while, Lu Lin looked at Xiao Xuan's dress and suddenly had a bright red blood stain on it.

"Princess!" Lu Lin's face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly called Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan raised her head when she heard the sound, and everyone saw clearly that her right cheek was scratched by the splinters that had just been splashed, and the wound slowly overflowed and blood dripped down.

Seeing this, Lu Lin immediately squatted down and checked Xiao Xuan's wound.

Xiao Xuan raised her hand to touch the wound, but the little county lord hurriedly grabbed her wrist.

"Wait a minute, your hands are not clean, don't touch the wounds." At this time, the little county lord was the most calm and became the one who gave orders. "First take a clean cloth and gently press the wound for the princess, and then tell the boatman to let the boat dock at once."

"Yes, County Lord." Lu Lin hurriedly found the clean veil and handed it to the little county lord, and repeatedly ordered someone to pass the word to the boatman, and as soon as the ship docked, someone had to go to the imperial doctor and inform Emperor Liu of the matter.

Xiao Xuan felt the pain on her face after realizing it, and her fingers lightly touched her cheek, and her fingertips were suddenly stained with blood.

"Come, cover the wound first, don't let the dirt stain your wound." The little lord carefully examined the veil, put it over her wound, and motioned for her to hold it gently.

"Princess Celestia is really majestic." The little county lord asked Sister Chu to lean on Xiao Xuan's side, got up and walked to Xiao Lu and said. "All the young ladies can also be a witness today, and when the time comes, tell the imperial concubine how the eldest princess picked quarrels and provoked trouble and hurt Princess Zhaoyue's appearance."

The painting boat docked, and as soon as Fang stopped, the two palace maids sent out by the green forest hurriedly got off the painting boat and reported the news.

The mandarin duck, who did not go to the painting boat with Xiao Lu, was waiting by the dock, and seeing the two palace maids passing her and leaving in a hurry, she immediately noticed that something might have happened on the painting boat.

Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Xuan, who covered half of his face with a handkerchief, was surrounded by everyone and walked out of the painting boat and left quickly.

The mandarin duck watched everyone coming, and immediately lowered his head and silently let go.

Immediately after, Xiao Lu walked out with a pale face.

"Celestial Princess, is something happening to the boat?" The mandarin duck immediately stepped forward to ask Xiao Lu.

"Shut up!" Xiao Lu stretched out his hand and pushed the mandarin duck to the ground and ran away.

When Brother Parrot called her and came out, only the mandarin duck sitting on the ground was left outside.

"Mandarin duck, I'll help you up." Brother Parrot couldn't see Xiao Lu, so he had to help the mandarin duck up from the ground first. "Something is wrong, you go back and report to Concubine Chen, I have to go and get the princess back."

The mandarin duck was pushed a little hard at that time, and when he was helped up by the parrot, he couldn't even straighten his waist.

"Slow, it's okay if you let me report the news, I have to tell me the reason briefly, otherwise how can I explain it clearly." The parrot was about to leave, but the mandarin duck grabbed her arm firmly and asked. "Is Princess Zhaoyue injured? Did Princess Celestia do it? ”

"The princess broke a plate, and a piece of shard flew out to scratch Princess Zhaoyue's face." Brother Parrot couldn't break free from the mandarin duck's hand for a while, so he had to tell the story. "I looked like I had a lot of blood, and this wound on my face, if I left a scar, it would be a lifetime thing."

The mandarin duck shook his hand and let go of the parrot's arm.

"You and I know how favored Princess Zhaoyue is, we are the ones who follow the eldest princess, the eldest princess hurts people for no reason, and we can't escape." Parrot said. "I can only inform Concubine Chen about this first, and then I can talk about other things when I find the eldest princess. Perhaps, if this matter is not handled well, you and I will have to fill in a life. ”

"Okay, I see, we're going to split up." When the mandarin duck heard this, he still didn't understand his situation. "I'll go back to Concubine Chen."

Concubine Liu was resting in the house, when suddenly a palace maid rushed into the house.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Liuhuang, who had not been asleep for a long time, was suddenly awakened and asked.

"It's not good." That palace maid was Yue Zi who was sent back by the green forest to deliver the letter, she was young, and when she saw Xiao Xuan's face being injured and bleeding, she lost her sense of proportion for a while, and suddenly fell to the ground, and before she had time to stand up, she lay on the ground and said with a crying voice. "Our princess is injured."

"What?" Hearing that Xiao Xuan was injured, Emperor Liu's drowsiness immediately receded. "Where is the princess hurt?"

"Woo woo, the princess hurt her face." Yuezi cried.

"Hey, someone is here to help Yuezi up and talk." At this time, Sui Hong, who came with someone to follow, saw that Emperor Liu's face was pale and wanted to get up, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help. "Mother, what's wrong?"

"Xuan'er's face is injured." Emperor Liu's eyes were full of tears and she said. "Hurry up and send someone to invite the accompanying imperial doctor, is the princess back now?"

"Back to Niangniang, Sister Lulin has already sent Huang Yu to ask the imperial doctor to come back." Yuezi cried and cried, but her speech was still clear. "Sister Green Forest is with the princess, and she is on her way back."

Xiao Xuan and his party hadn't entered the courtyard yet, and Dantang, who had got the news, rushed over.

"Princess." Dan Tang looked at the faint bright red in the veil, and called Xiao Xuan with palpitations.

"Alright, don't talk outside the yard." The little county lord who was supporting Xiao Xuan spoke. "Let Princess Zhaoyue enter the courtyard first and wait for the imperial doctor to come over to check the wound is the first priority, and it's not too late to ask anything else when the wound is treated."
