Chapter 568 Marry the Most Noble Person

As soon as the New Year was over, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Sixth Princess couldn't wait to pack up her things and go to Xiao Jiuyue for help.

"Third sister-in-law, I can finally see you!" The Sixth Princess opened her arms and hugged Xiao Jiuyue when she saw her, saying excitedly: "Third sister-in-law, you don't know how difficult life has been in the palace these days!"

The Sixth Princess looked pitiful, like a poor creature.

"Qinqin, you are exaggerating. You are Her Royal Highness the Princess. How come your life in the palace is so difficult?" Xiao Jiuyue led the Sixth Princess to the courtyard she had prepared long ago. This year, because of the Second Prince's affairs, there was a huge quarrel in the court.

Those who pleaded for the second prince and wanted to severely punish him, because of this matter, the emperor only showed up at the court meeting during the two days of the New Year and then left.

The atmosphere in the palace was even more serious. The Sixth Princess used to like her father very much, but now she didn't want to see him at all.

"Third sister-in-law, you don't know." The Sixth Princess began to talk about how the palace was now walking on thin ice, everyone was in danger, and the emperor had already attacked many palace maids and eunuchs.

The Sixth Princess was talking about the affairs in the palace all the way. Except for going to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Jiuyue had no time to learn about the affairs in the palace.

She returned to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and on the third day she stayed at home and concentrated on cooking delicious food.

Seeing Jun Lie, who used to be skinny, gaining weight after being fed by her, she was in a very good mood, especially when Jun Lie ate the meals she prepared, she gave him so much emotional support!

"Forget it, let's not talk about the bad things in the palace. Let me tell you about my second sister-in-law." The Sixth Princess turned her head and put aside the mess in the palace. She asked excitedly, "Do you know how my second sister-in-law is doing?"

"Her sister's incident that day must have caused quite a stir?" Ever since Xiao Jiuyue met Du Ting that day, she didn't see Du Ting when she went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year!

When the Second Prince got into trouble, Du Ting used his connections to find people to plead for Prince Duan. Unfortunately, Du Ting's efforts were in vain. Whether Prince Duan should be punished or not depended entirely on the emperor's words.

Not to mention Du Ting, the newly married bride, even if the imperial concubine knelt for a whole night and fell ill, the emperor would not change his mind.

"That's right. Later, they said she was sent to the farm to recuperate. Du Ting can't be so proud now!" The Sixth Princess curled her lips and said, "She came to ask the Fifth Sister for mercy. She looked so thin that she was unrecognizable."

"A married woman should obey her husband. If something happens to Prince Duan, then her life as a princess will be over." Xiao Jiuyue knew very well that this was a case of everyone prospering together and suffering together. The emperor had been detaining Prince Duan in the clan residence and would not allow anyone to plead for him, which made it difficult to understand what he was thinking.

"By the way, Princess Mu Xi, who was originally going to marry my second brother, is now making a fuss about not getting married!" The Sixth Princess is like a gossipmonger and can talk to Xiao Jiuyue about any gossip.

Entering the courtyard, she looked at the neatly tidied and warm courtyard. The table was filled with her favorite snacks and homemade milk tea from her third sister-in-law. While drinking milk tea and eating snacks, the Sixth Princess gossiped with Xiao Jiuyue, saying, "These exciting things are happening one after another. Guess who Princess Mu Xi finally fell in love with?"

"It can't be my prince." Xiao Jiuyue shrugged. Jun Lie's problem of getting a rash when touching other women was still quite good at this time. He could openly refuse others' approach and grant them marriage.

"Cough." The Sixth Princess cleared her throat and almost spit out the milk tea in her mouth.

"Does she really like your third brother?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyebrows. She was quite optimistic about Princess Mu Xi, a very proud little girl.

"Who made Third Brother the most handsome? But..." The Sixth Princess blinked and said, "Third Sister-in-law, since you know about this, I'll tell you first. Third Brother is coming back today, and he must be preparing medicine for a bath again."

I understand. Princess Mu Xi is not giving up and wants to confirm whether Jun Lie is really unwell.

"However, she was quite clever. She bribed the palace maids and kept it a secret. However, what happened next was the most shocking..." The Sixth Princess danced excitedly and said, "You definitely won't be able to guess it."

Xiao Jiuyue thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that she has entered the harem?"

If it was the prince, there would be no need for the Sixth Princess to be so excited!

“…”

The Sixth Princess had originally been hoping to see Xiao Jiuyue's shocked expression, but who knew that she had already guessed it. She asked, "Third sister-in-law, did you already know this and are teasing me on purpose?"

The Sixth Princess peeled an orange and ate it, stuffing her mouth full. She said, "Princess Muxi came to the Crown Prince and forced him to compete with her, saying that she would not marry him if he couldn't even beat her!"

"The eldest prince's skills were never as good as the second brother's, so his defeat was... a bit tragic." The Sixth Princess thought of that scene and couldn't help but touch her nose and said, "So, Princess Muxi said that she came to marry a foreign prince, and if she was going to marry, she wanted to marry the most noble person in Nanyue!"

The emperor is still very young. In ancient times, people married and had children early. He is only in his forties now. Princess Muxi is in her prime, but...

No matter how well the emperor maintains himself, his age is there. He can be a handsome middle-aged uncle, but when he stands next to Princess Mu Xi, that picture...

Xiao Jiuyue didn't dare to think about it. She asked, "So, the emperor agreed?"

"Of course, why not?" The Sixth Princess nodded and said, "New people are admitted to the harem every three years."

“…”

Xiao Jiuyue didn't want to think about this anymore. Princess Mu Xi was willing to do it anyway.

Xiao Jiuyue personally cooked a meal for the Sixth Princess, who praised it highly. Xiao Jiuyue prepared medicinal herbs for the Sixth Princess to take a medicinal bath, and then let the Sixth Princess take a bath and rest.

She had just prepared the herbs for Jun Lie's medicinal bath when she saw Jun Lie coming back. Looking at the red rashes all over his body, she said, "It's just right. The water temperature is right. Let's take a bath quickly."

"Sixth sister is here?" Jun Lie understood immediately when she didn't ask anything. He said, "Jiuyue, don't worry. She just touched my hand and then I dodged."

"I wiped and washed my hands ten times later." Jun Lie raised the back of his hand that had been rubbed red and handed it to Xiao Jiuyue to see.

Xiao Jiuyue felt both helpless and amused. She immediately stripped him of his clothes and pushed him into the tub. She said, "Just soak in the medicinal bath obediently. Your body is itchy like this, and you can still bear it?"

"I took medicine." Jun Lie leaned on the edge of the tub, looked at her and said, "Jiuyue, my back itches and I can't scratch it."

Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flashed. He wasn't itchy at all. She scooped a spoonful of water and poured it on his back: "It doesn't itch anymore now, does it?"

"It's not itchy, not itchy at all." Jun Lie immersed his entire body in the medicinal bath, only revealing his head. He said pitifully, "I didn't even have time to eat when I entered the palace today."

"Gu" "Gu"

His stomach happened to growl, and Xiao Jiuyue said, "I'll go make you some egg noodles!"
