Thinking that Su Jinyue had discovered him, Xiao Duo was about to come out from behind the rockery, but he didn't expect someone to get there first and pop out from behind a tree on the other side.

“Wooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

When Su Jinyue saw the person emerging from behind the tree, the momentum she had just had disappeared in an instant.

Behind the tree, I saw a baby as delicate as a baby jade. Its round belly made its apricot-colored palace dress look particularly adorable. But it looked a little pitiful, with a little dust on its fair cheeks.

She must have been frightened. Her round eyes were filled with tears and she was crying in grievance. Her chubby little hands were tightly grasping her clothes and refusing to let go.

Xiao Tao was also startled and looked at her young lady, "Where did this baby come from!"

"Whose child are you? Stop crying!"

Su Jinyue quickly walked over and squatted down, took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the little kid's cheek, "Are you lost?"

The little baby looked at the beautiful sister in front of her wiping her cheek, hiccuping and sobbing, and nodded.

"Then can I take you to find your mother?" Su Jinyue coaxed her softly.

The little baby nodded, then shook his head, and his chubby little hands suddenly grabbed Su Jinyue and refused to let go!

"What's going on?"

Su Jinyue thought that she looked to be about three or four years old. Even if she got lost in the Imperial Garden, it would be enough to make the elders in the family worry.

It seems that the little kid is unwilling to go with her now, but she can't just leave him here.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyue rubbed the little guy's head and said, "Can I play with you here for a while?"

When the little girl heard that Su Jinyue wanted to accompany her, she stopped crying and grabbed Su Jinyue's clothes and nodded!

Su Jinyue took the little girl's hand and brought her to the shade of the tree beside the lotus pond. She picked up the fallen willow branches on the ground and lightly made a grass wreath for her. She also casually pinned on it a few flowers that had fallen by the wind by the pond.

"for you."

I handed the wreath to the little baby beside me. The little baby seemed to be very curious and couldn't let go of the wreath game, giggling.

Su Jinyue couldn't help but pinch the little baby's soft cheeks, "What's your name?"

The little girl held the wreath in her hand, raised her head, blinked at Su Jinyue with her round eyes, then raised her little finger and pointed at the hairpin on her head.

Su Jinyue looked at the small hairpin on the little baby's head. There was a pearl the size of a little fingertip inlaid in the emerald green jade.

She guessed, "Your name is... Yuzhu?"

The little girl nodded with sparkling eyes, then lowered her head to fiddle with the wreath in her hand.

At this time, Su Jinyue realized that the little girl seemed unable to speak, but she could hear other people talking, so she must not have any ear disease.

She was thinking this and wanted to feel Yuzhu's pulse on her wrist.

"Yuzhu!"

Su Jinyue turned around and saw a woman of similar age running towards the pool!

Princess Changping ran over with her maid and pulled Yuzhu away from Su Jinyue. "Why are you here? Your Concubine Xian is very worried about you!"

"Mother Concubine?" Su Jinyue was a little surprised to hear the word "mother concubine".

Princess Changping then looked at Su Jinyue and sized her up with unfriendly eyes, "Who are you!"

Su Jinyue stood up and saluted to Princess Changping, "The legitimate daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, Su Jinyue."

"Are you that Su Jinyue?!"

Hearing the name Su Jinyue, Princess Changping immediately became like a cat with its fur standing on end, becoming even more displeased, "Why don't you kneel down when you see me!"

Su Jinyue looked at her, "Why should I kneel?"

"I am the Princess Changping, who was personally appointed by His Majesty! I want you to kneel! How dare you not kneel?!" Princess Changping said arrogantly.

It turns out that this person is the Princess Changping. In the previous life, Concubine Xian had tried her best to match her with Xiao Duo and wanted them to get married. However, Xiao Duo was devoted to the battlefield and had no intention of getting married, so the two were ultimately unable to be together.

But Su Jinyue had heard that Princess Changping was in love with Xiao Duo.

Su Jinyue was not afraid of her at all, "No! My father is the Ningyuan Marquis, you and I are of equal status, why should I kneel to you!"

"Who is equal to you in status?" Princess Changping said angrily, "I feel ashamed to be a girl from a noble family like you!"

Princess Changping had been holding a grudge in her heart, and when she saw Su Jinyue today, she wanted to vent it all at once!

"Everyone knows that you hooked up with the Xie family after returning from the countryside, and lived in your husband's house for two years without getting married! Maybe you are tired of being played by others, and the Xie family doesn't want to marry you at all!"

Princess Changping looked at Su Jinyue with disdain and sneered, "You love to flirt with people so much. Maybe you were a fickle person when you were in the Xie family. I wonder what kind of man you flirted with that caused you to be divorced!"

Su Jinyue said with a smile, "Yes, it's because I hooked up with General Xiao that the emperor issued an imperial decree to grant us marriage."

These words were like a sharp arrow piercing Princess Changping's heart!

She was already furious in the mansion because she couldn't marry Xiao Duo, and now Su Jinyue hit her sore spot, and she immediately lost her mind!

“Ahhhh! Su Jinyue, you bitch! I’m not going to tear your mouth apart! Xiao Cui! Catch her!!!”

Princess Changping rushed towards Su Jinyue with red eyes, "I'll scratch your vixen face, let's see how you can seduce my cousin!"

She suddenly pulled out the hairpin in her hair and stabbed it towards Su Jinyue!

Su Jinyue's eyes shone, and she immediately grabbed the hairpin that Princess Changping was stabbing at her, "Does the Princess want to commit murder in the palace?!"

How could Princess Changping no longer listen to Su Jinyue's words? She pressed her fingers so hard that her knuckles turned white. Her eyes were red as she tried to stab Su Jinyue's face with the hairpin!

In the chaos, Yuzhu tried hard to stand in front of Su Jinyue with her small body. Unable to speak, she made anxious sounds, her eyes were red and she seemed about to cry at any time!

"careful!"

Su Jinyue blocked Princess Changping's hand and bent down to protect the little baby in front of her!

Unexpectedly, Princess Changping, who had lost her mind, raised her hand and swung it hard, accidentally hitting Yuzhu!

Bang!

Yuzhu was slapped hard in the face, and she lost her balance and fell heavily on the cobblestone ground, her head about to hit the stones on the ground!

The maidservant beside the princess screamed, "Ah! Little Princess!!!"
