When Ye Xiaoxiao brought Tianxuan back to the Imperial Garden, some people were already whispering.

"Look, is this the ugly girl from the Ye family?"

"Yeah, it's okay that she's ugly, but I heard she's pregnant with someone else's child."

"I heard that the baby was raped and she didn't even know who the father was, yet she insisted on giving birth to the baby."

"If I were her, I would have hanged myself long ago, or hidden away in my house forever."

"Look at her. Not only does she have no shame, she even has the nerve to come out and admire the flowers so brazenly."

"That's nothing. Didn't you hear that a palace maid just came to see her and said that the prince wanted to see her."

"Really? Why would the prince want to see her?!"

"Didn't the Queen say that she would choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?"

"You better give up now. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have a very good reputation, he is the heir apparent to the throne after all. How could he possibly fall for her?"

"What do you know? Even though she's ugly and does ridiculous things, she comes from a good family."

"The Ye family is currently on the rise, and with the marriage alliance with the Li family, they also have the support of the Duke of Huguo Mansion."

"Not to mention that she is pregnant, even if she gave birth, I'm afraid someone would still be worried about her."

"Didn't you just see that even the Empress was so protective of her at the palace banquet?"

"Ah, that's impossible. Didn't the Queen intend to make Miss Liu the Crown Princess?"

"Although Ye Xiaoxiao has a good status, she is still far inferior to Miss Liu."

"Shh, stop talking, Miss Liu is here."

"Yeah, isn't that going to be a good show?"

"Yes, I heard that Miss Liu was very angry when she learned that she was going to see the prince."

The more they spoke, the lower their voices became. Of course, Ye Xiaoxiao heard every word of what they said.

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. She had just solved the trap set by Prince Yu, and now Miss Liu came to cause trouble. This palace banquet was really not a place for people to stay.

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Miss Liu and originally planned to take Tianxuan away.

But before the young lady from the Liu family arrived, a mocking voice was heard.

"Some people are just ugly and do weird things."

"The Queen Aunt has always been kind-hearted. She only casually expressed her concern, but some people would take it for granted."

"Don't you see how ugly you are? You dare to think about your cousin, the Crown Prince."

Ye Xiaoxiao was about to move forward when she suddenly stopped where she was.

Now that she's been hit in the face, it's not her style to run away.

"Tianxuan, do you smell a bad odor?"

Tianxuan shook her head, "No, Miss, how could the imperial garden of the palace smell bad?"

Ye Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, "Really? If the flowers don't stink, then the people must stink."

"I don't know whose manure-making machine was left unattended, and it ran into this imperial garden and spewed manure all over its mouth."

"I'm nauseated even through the veil, and you guys don't smell it?"

Tianxuan moved his nose carefully, then looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, Miss. If you hadn't told me, I really didn't smell it just now."

"But now there seems to be a really bad smell coming over here, and it seems to be getting closer and closer."

When Liu Yiyi heard the conversation between the master and servant, she was so angry that her eyes almost popped out.

Ye Xiaoxiao pretended to be startled.

"Oh, whose daughter is this? Why are her eyes so bulging? Is she sick?"

"Tianxuan, help me hide away quickly. A pregnant woman can't take medicine casually, otherwise it will easily hurt the baby."

"Don't let anyone infect me, or I'll be in big trouble."

Liu Yiyi was so angry that her eyebrows were raised, but she didn't dare to attack Ye Xiaoxiao directly.

But when he saw that a maid named Tianxuan dared to be so arrogant, he immediately raised his hand and slapped Tianxuan.

"Who gave you the guts to bully me, Liu Yiyi?"

Tianxuan didn't dare to hurt Liu Yiyi, but Ye Xiaoxiao would not let her stand there and get beaten.

"Tianxuan, get out of the way."

Tianxuan obeyed and dodged Liu Yiyi's slap.

But Liu Yiyi didn't expect Tianxuan to dare to dodge, and she used too much force and staggered.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to stretch out her right foot, and Liu Yiyi was tripped by her and immediately fell forward.

Ye Xiaoxiao quickly dodged and then said in surprise.

"Oh, whose family is this lady? Why is she so polite right away?"

"You and I are of the same generation. I don't deserve this kind of gift."

"Although today is Mid-Autumn Festival, it's not appropriate to just randomly ask for red envelopes from people."

"Besides, I'm not as rich as you ladies. Miss, you may have found the wrong person."

Ye Xiaoxiao was about to take Tianxuan away, but Liu Yiyi got up with a look of embarrassment.

"Ye Xiaoxiao, please stop right there."

Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips and looked at Liu Yiyi, who was full of anger.

"I wonder what advice this young lady has for you?"

Liu Yiyi couldn't see Ye Xiaoxiao's expression through the veil, but looking at her slightly raised eyes, she knew she was making fun of herself.

"Ye Xiaoxiao, you bitch, if you dare to seduce the prince cousin, I will never let you go."

"Also, make your slave girl apologize to me, otherwise, we will not be done today."

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Ye Xiaoxiao's lips. "Oh? I wonder what evidence this young lady has to accuse me of seducing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Liu Yiyi looked at Ye Xiaoxiao angrily and shouted in a sharp voice.
