Most people greeted each other politely when they met, and few dared to approach, for fear of causing trouble on the day of the meeting between the two countries.

There are those who are afraid of causing trouble, and there are those who dare to cause trouble.

Next to the hanging flower gate of the garden, Miss Shuang'er beside Queen Mother Chu was staring at Helian Yu who was surrounded by palace maids.

A little girl of about seven or eight years old was passing by. Judging from her clothes, she seemed to be a favored daughter of an official family.

Shuang'er held her back and said, "Your necklace is so beautiful. Is it expensive?"

The young girl was naive and was overwhelmed when she was praised by Shuang'er, a girl of almost the same age.

She raised her chin slightly and snorted proudly, "You have good taste. This is the most expensive style in the Gold and Silver Shop, and it costs two hundred gold."

"No wonder it's so beautiful, it turns out to be so expensive!" Shuang'er despised it in her heart, but praised it on the surface, and raised her hand to point in the direction of Helian Yu, "Do you know who that is?"

"Princess Zhaoyang." The little girl glanced at Shuang'er and looked at her with contempt. "You don't know Princess Zhaoyang, do you? Your father's official position is very low? Or are you a concubine's daughter? You can't have never heard of Princess Zhaoyang, right?"

Shuang'er's throat seemed to be filled with blood, and she was hurt by the little girl. "Princess Zhaoyang just said that she wanted to see the crabapple tree, but I don't know which yard the crabapple tree is in. Do you know?"

The little girl didn't say anything first, but asked Shuang'er thoughtfully, "Isn't there a maid beside the princess? You can ask the maid to find out, why are you asking you? Are you a maid in Tianyuan?"

Shuang'er was embarrassed: "No! Princess Zhaoyang said she doesn't like palace maids following her. If anyone can help her get rid of the palace maids and take her to the Begonia Garden, they will be rewarded. I'm just trying to find a way!"

"So that's how it is..." The little girl's eyes were cunning, "This is not easy to handle! Let me do it!"

Shuang'er saw that the other party had taken the bait, so she smiled more happily: "Then I'll go to the Begonia Garden to wait for you!"

Seeing Shuang'er leave, the little girl walked towards Helian Yu.

At that time, Helian Yu was squatting on the ground, staring at the earthworms eating and defecating soil.

"Your servant Fang Zhengjin pays respect to Princess Zhaoyang. May the princess live long and happily."

Helian Yu looked at the person who came. She felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Perhaps he looked like someone else, so she simply shook off the thought and said, "Stand up."

"Your Highness, I just saw a girl acting suspiciously and saying some strange things, so I went up to ask her. I didn't mean to disturb her."

"You say." Helian Yu looked at Fang Zhengjin with interest.

"Just now, a girl stood by the hanging flower gate and claimed that you wanted to leave the palace maids behind and go to the Begonia Garden alone. She also said that you would reward anyone who could do it."

"That's nonsense!" Ci Dong was unhappy, "Your Highness has never seen a strange woman since entering Tianyuan!"

Fang Zhengjin glanced at Ci Dong, then looked at Helian Yu: "In that case, that girl is deceiving me."

"Yes." Helian Yu looked at Xingchun Cidong and said, "You two wait here. I will go over and take a look."

"Your Highness, someone is clearly plotting against you. If it were any other time, we would have let it go, but today... several princes just told us to keep an eye on you." Xingchun retorted awkwardly, wanting to stop Helian Yu from having fun.

Helian Yu clapped his hands: "It's okay. I promise I won't cause any trouble! I won't lose face in front of the Dongning envoys! Don't worry!"

Xingchun and Cidong couldn't believe it, but Helian Yu had already run away holding up her skirt.

Helian Yu knew Haitang Garden. Seeing this, Fang Zhengjin hurried over to catch up.

Xingchun was anxious and wanted to catch up, but His Highness would not allow him to do so. He could only tell Cidong, "I will go and report to the princes. You take your men to guard the Begonia Garden first. Do not go in and disturb His Highness."

Ci Dong quickly agreed and took his men to guard the Begonia Garden.

The news that Helian Yu left the palace maids and went to the Begonia Garden quickly reached the ears of the princes.

"Who knows who this little bastard is trying to plot against, but she can't afford to suffer any loss herself." Helian Chi raised his eyebrows, "Xingchun, why are you so anxious? When have you ever seen your master suffer any loss?"

Xingchun opened his mouth and swallowed it again.

The master is cunning and only wants to protect herself, so how can it be a sharp sword for her to plot against others? The Fourth Prince is too cold-hearted!

Xing Chunpo felt resentful, but dared not speak out. He secretly reminded: "I will go find the state teacher."

Helian Chi couldn't help but feel gnashing when he saw Xingchun becoming more and more bold. The people around the little bastard were becoming more and more bold, really just following their master's lead.

"Alright, why bother the Imperial Master with these matters?" Helian Chi stood up, "I'll go over and take a look."

Although he was not worried that Helian Yu would be in danger, he was still afraid of the possibility.

"I'll go and take a look too." The second prince stood up, "I happen to be bored." - The banquet hasn't started yet, and the women are chatting.

Next to the Imperial Concubine were Concubine Zhen and Concubine Rong, who were laughing and talking about something.

A little palace maid hurried over and whispered something in Dai Yan's ear.

The Imperial Noble Consort glanced at him nonchalantly, and only looked at Dai Yan when she waved her hand to let the little palace maid leave.

Dai Yan lowered his head and said without hiding anything: "Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyang pushed Miss Shuang'er, who was beside the Queen Mother, into the pond in the Begonia Garden. Fang Zhengjin, the daughter of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, followed the princess."

"If I remember correctly, Miss Fang was chosen by Zhaoyang as a tutor."

"Yes. Your Majesty has a good memory." Dai Yan said.

"The Queen Mother is not here today, so why is Miss Shuang'er here?" The Royal Concubine's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was filled with slight displeasure. "You are only a few years old, but you are so ambitious!"

"Let Dai Yan find two young eunuchs to send Miss Shuang'er back to the palace. If the Queen Mother asks, just say that she caught a cold on the way and was sent back." Rong Fei snorted arrogantly, "We can't offend Zhaoyang because of her. Are there any fools sitting here?"

Just as the Imperial Concubine was about to give Dai Yan these instructions, another young eunuch came running over.

The young eunuch knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed nervously: "Your Majesty, please ask the Imperial Concubine to come over."

The Imperial Concubine's expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty, did you tell me why you summoned me?"

"I don't know."

"Got it." Imperial Concubine and Zhen Concubine exchanged glances, "I'll go over first, you guys take your time to enjoy the scenery here."

Rong Fei was angry: "I finally got out of the palace, but now I'm faced with another bad thing!"

"Be careful with your words." Concubine Zhen bumped Concubine Rong's arm and glared at her with her beautiful eyes, "Don't cause trouble. Have you forgotten how you asked His Majesty to allow you to leave the palace?"

Rong Fei pursed her lips reluctantly and muttered softly: "Kneel down and beg. My knees hurt from kneeling for two or three days, and I still have to serve him."

"I only slept with you once, and the next day Concubine Jing falsely accused me of feeding her abortion pills. Fortunately, Your Majesty believed me!"

Concubine Zhen's eyelids twitched. It was hard for His Majesty not to believe her! Rong Fei entered the palace when she was still a concubine. At that time, Rong Fei was only ten years old. It was difficult for His Majesty to see her, let alone sleep with her.

Concubine Rong was born into a military family and had been stubborn since she was young. In order to serve the emperor in bed, she climbed onto the roof every day, which frightened His Majesty so much that he didn't dare to enter the backyard for a long time.

In order to keep Concubine Rong in good order, His Majesty sent her to the battlefield to serve as a general and assigned someone to protect her.

It was several years after His Majesty ascended the throne that he brought Concubine Rong back.

When Concubine Rong returned to the palace, she was already seventeen years old. She was dashing and beautiful, but when His Majesty asked her for a chance to marry, she refused nine times out of ten.

The reason is very direct: sad and don’t want to see you.

In fact, she is addicted to playing Mahjong.
