Chapter 62: Unaware that she had revealed her true colors

A prince turned into a living dead, and a princess became crippled. Naturally, all the concubines in the harem knew about such a big thing.

Those who didn't know came to pay their respects to the Queen, and they understood what Lu Li was thinking after hearing it.

"It's so scary that the Second Prince fell into the water. Your Majesty, why don't we invite a female teacher who knows how to swim to come to the palace to teach the prince and princess. This way, even if they don't have servants around them, they can swim ashore by themselves if they fall into the water." Concubine Min An Miaoyi was worried.

She has only one daughter, she is so precious.

If one day she accidentally fell into the water and became a living dead like Lu Yan, she really wouldn't want to live anymore.

[Madam Concubine Min doesn't need to worry too much. Lu Yan is asking for his own death.]

Before Xia Shuyi could speak, Lu Li started chatting with An Miaoyi in her heart.

The concubines' ears stood up.

What's happening?

From what the little princess said, is there some hidden story behind the second prince falling into the water?

[If he hadn't wanted to throw me into the water and drown me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. ]

Everyone took a deep breath.

What? The Second Prince actually wants to attack the Ninth Princess.

Xia Shuyi thought Concubine Min's suggestion was good.

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. If you learn to swim, you can save yourself in the future even if the palace guards are not around.

"What Concubine Min said makes sense. I will send someone to find a woman who is good at swimming to enter the palace tomorrow."

"Thank you, Her Majesty." An Miaoyi bowed with a smile.

Some smart people thought of Lu Yuan.

Since there was something fishy about the Second Prince falling into the water, then was there something fishy about the Fourth Princess being torn apart by the iron-eating beast that they didn't know about?

So Zhaoyi Fu Yunling stepped forward to ask, "What should we do with the iron-eating beast? It has bitten the fourth princess so badly. Should we banish it from the palace to prevent it from accidentally hurting other princesses and princes?"

【Yuanlunlun will not bite people randomly! 】

Lu Li angrily refuted on behalf of the giant panda.

The concubines were confused for a moment. Who was Yuanrunrun?

[If Lu Yuan hadn't thrown me to feed Yuan Gun Gun, I wouldn't have let Yuan Gun Gun bite her. ]

Now everyone reacted.

Round and round, that's the iron-eating beast.

The fourth princess was bitten because of her own fault. She wanted to harm the ninth princess, but was tricked by the powerful ninth princess instead.

There was a hint of awe in the way people looked at Lu Li.

The Ninth Princess is so amazing that she can even ward off beasts.

Lu Li had no idea what they were thinking. She slapped her forehead and remembered what she had promised the giant panda.

[Oh no, I forgot about my promise to Yuanyuan.]

[How should I tell my mother that Yuanlunlun wants to eat meat, honey and sweet fruits?]

Lu Li bit her fingers and got tangled up.

[Forget it, I'll just hide it secretly and give it to him when my brother takes me to see Yuanyuanyuan.]

Xia Shuyi thought it was a little funny. How much could the small pocket on her clothes hold for the iron-eating beast to eat?

She gently pulled her daughter's finger out of her mouth.

"Don't lick your fingers. Your fingers will become ugly and you will become stupid."

When Lu Li heard this, he immediately took out his finger.

Xia Shuyi smiled and then looked at Fu Yunling.

"The iron-eating beast is gentle and won't bite people without reason. Besides, it was a birthday gift from the Emperor to Li'er. How can we just send it away?"

[Mother is wise!!!]

Lu Li cheered loudly for her mother in her heart.

The people present were very satisfied after eating the melon and kept agreeing with her words.

Only Lu Zhirong looked disapproving.

Because she couldn't hear the Ninth Princess's voice, she felt that the Queen's actions were too unfair.

The fourth princess lost a leg and could no longer stand up and walk in the sun, appreciate flowers, watch the moon, or even find a prince consort. Her life was ruined.

The Queen actually said that the iron-eating beast was a birthday gift for the Ninth Princess and could not be given away.

This is simply ridiculous.

A living princess is not as good as the gift from the Ninth Princess.

Soon, the greetings were over.

As soon as Jiang Shile left the Weiyang Palace, she couldn't help but talk to her good friends about today's big news.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect the fourth princess to be such a vicious person. You can't judge a person by his appearance."

"Shi Le, the Fourth Princess was bitten and it was bad enough, why do you still say that about her?" Lu Zhirong retorted subconsciously.

Jiang Shile showed an incredible expression.

"Sister Zhirong, why do you think so?"

Only then did Lu Zhirong realize that she had said the wrong thing.

Perhaps there was some hidden story behind the fourth princess being bitten that she didn't know about.

"I just feel that no matter who faces the Ninth Princess, they will be in trouble." Lu Zhirong smiled awkwardly.

"That's because they have evil intentions towards the Ninth Princess, so they are so unlucky. You see, the First Princess and the Second Princess treat the Ninth Princess very well, and I think they are living a good life." Jiang Shile did not agree with her opinion.

Lu Zhirong didn't want to listen to Lu Li's flattery anymore, so she quickly changed the subject: "I just said that casually. Do you want to come sit at my place? I'll ask Xiaoyuan to prepare your favorite snacks for you."

"Okay." Jiang Shile agreed happily.

When she heard the name Xiaoyuan, she remembered that Lu Li called the iron-eating beast Yuangungun.

Xiaoyuan is a chubby girl, and Yuanlunlun is a chubby bear. There are some similarities between the two.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Zhirong looked confused.

"Xiaoyuan, round and round, hahaha." Jiang Shile seemed to be suddenly tickled by someone and laughed non-stop.

"What's so funny about roundness? " Lu Zhirong was even more confused.

"It's the iron-eating beast, round and round." Jiang Shile explained with a smile.

"What's wrong with Iron Beast and Yuangungun?" Lu Zhirong was a little impatient.

The smile on Jiang Shile's face froze, and some doubts arose in her mind.

"Nothing, I just thought that iron-eating beast was quite chubby and cute. What name do you think would be better for her?" She tactfully tested Lu Zhirong.

"What's the point of giving a name to a beast?" Lu Zhirong didn't care.

"The Ninth Princess named it Yuanbuliuqiu. It's a funny name." Jiang Shile was already somewhat certain of his guess.

"Round or not? What kind of name is this? It's weird. It's definitely a name a child would give it." Lu Zhirong continued speaking along with her words.

Jiang Shile already had the answer in her mind, but she still didn't want to believe it, so she continued to ask: "I heard that there was another hidden story behind the Second Prince's fall into the water. It's a pity that the Ninth Princess didn't tell me today, otherwise I would have had more to learn about it."

"Yeah, it's a pity to miss this big melon." Lu Zhirong continued to agree, unaware that she had already revealed her true colors.
