Today, Xiao Yuerou and Yaolan were both wearing light-colored dresses. A cup of perilla drink was poured on them, and their dresses were stained light pink.
Xiao Yuerou was furious and slapped the palace maid across the face. As if that wasn't enough, she kicked the maid in the chest: "You blind fool, drag her away and beat her to death!"
The palace maid kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me! I won't do it again!"
Granny Xin gave a signal, and two other nannies came forward, gagged the palace maid, and dragged her away.
Granny Xin stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Third Princess, Princess Yaolan, your clothes are wet, be careful not to catch a cold. Please follow me to the side hall to change your clothes."
The two princesses could no longer wear such dresses to admire the chrysanthemums, so they left with Granny Xin. Aya was about to follow when the Empress Dowager stopped her.
"Aya, if I remember correctly, your name is Aya. Since everyone is just sitting around doing nothing, why don't you tell them some anecdotes about Bei Li and make them laugh? Princess Yaolan is being looked after by Granny Xin, so she'll be fine."
When the Empress Dowager spoke, Aya dared not refuse. She glanced at Princess Yaolan, who had left with Granny Xin, and the Third Princess beside her. Thinking that there was nothing else to do, she began to tell the ladies and young women present about the customs and culture of Beili.
Granny Xin led the two princesses to a side hall, one room for each of them: "Third Princess, Princess Yaolan, please wait a moment. This servant will go and fetch you two dresses." After saying that, Granny Xin left with Xiao Yuerou's maid.
Xiao Yuerou was very familiar with Cixi Palace, so she didn't stand on ceremony and pushed open the door to go inside.
She had only been inside for a short while when she felt overwhelmed by the strong fragrance in the room and became dizzy. She then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, Yao Lan also entered the side hall and sat waiting for Granny Xin to come over.
After sitting for a short while, Yao Lan felt hot all over and became irritable. She picked up the teapot on the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp, hoping to relieve her discomfort with the tea.
After drinking the tea, Yao Lan felt her body getting even hotter, craving cold, and even her vision began to blur.
She longed to be cherished and loved; how could she not be familiar with such a feeling?
At that moment, the side hall door opened, and a person walked in.
"Lan'er." Upon hearing the man's voice, Yao Lan felt even hotter and rushed towards him.
The man picked up Yaolan and placed her on the large bed in the hall, then slowly lowered the bed curtains.
Granny Xin returned to the Empress Dowager's side and nodded gently.
The Empress Dowager listened with a smile to the anecdotes Aya told, nodding frequently and appearing very interested.
In the side hall, Xiao Yuerou slowly woke up, feeling as if a thousand elephants were trampling on her head.
"Someone, someone!" she called weakly, but no one answered.
She had no choice but to struggle to her feet and stumble out of the side hall.
Suddenly she heard a strange sound.
Mmm~ Mmm~ Ah~ Ah~.
It sounded like someone was in great pain, suffering some kind of torment, yet there was also a hint of joy in their voice.
Xiao Yuerou was not yet married and did not know much about matters between men and women.
She suddenly remembered that Princess Yaolan was in this side hall.
That sound?
Princess Yaolan is in trouble?!
Xiao Yuerou, being a royal princess, naturally understood what it meant if Princess Yaolan had an accident in the palace.
Ignoring her headache, she pushed open the door to the side hall and rushed in: "Princess Yaolan, Princess Yaolan, what's wrong?"
The next second, Xiao Yuerou stared wide-eyed at the two people embracing on the bed.
Xiao Yuerou was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but then she realized what was happening, raised her hands and covered her mouth tightly, turned around and ran out of the side hall, closing the door behind her. She leaned against the door and gasped for breath.
What did she see?!
My elder brother and Princess Yaolan!!!
