www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

In the garden, Nangong Cheng sat quietly by the pool alone, scattering bait into the water absentmindedly.

She sent Shuxiang and Moxiang away. Although the two maids had noticed how unhappy their girls had been in the past few days, especially Shuxiang, they knew in their hearts that it must be after His Royal Highness Prince Cheng visited the master that day. , but there has been no news since then, but apart from empty words of comfort, there is nothing she can do for the girl. Thinking that this was the mansion after all, nothing would happen, so Shuxiang pulled Mo Xiang back.

Because of the smell of bait, a koi carp in the pond gathered up with its tail and competed for food.

Nangong Cheng looked at the carps in the pond melancholy and sighed quietly. This pond was like Nangong Mansion, and she was just a carp that couldn't live without water.

"Cousin Cheng!" A familiar shout suddenly came from the front.

Nangong Cheng raised her eyes and saw Bai Muxiao in a plain dress walking towards her. She had no makeup on her fair face and only wore a pair of pearls in her hair. She looked pure and graceful. .

"Cousin Xiao."

Nangong Cheng hurriedly stood up to greet her. Bai Muxiao affectionately pulled Nangong Cheng and sat down on the carp-shaped stone bench by the pool. He asked with concern: "Cousin Cheng, don't blame Xiao'er for being troublesome. Xiao'er I saw you frowning just now, but what's on your mind?" Although Bai Muxiao asked this, in fact, looking at Nangong Qing's depressed but cheerful look, she had already guessed that the other party was trapped in love.

Nangong Cheng forced a smile and said, "Cousin Xiao, what can I have on my mind?"

Bai Muxiao's eyes flashed, and he asked directly: "Cousin Qing, do you have a sweetheart?"

Nangong Cheng's face suddenly stiffened, and she looked at Bai Muxiao with a slightly wandering gaze, and said in a serious tone: "Cousin Xiao, please be careful what you say." Nangong Cheng felt extremely complicated in her heart, and she felt ashamed of having her secrets exposed. , and worried that if even Bai Muxiao could see it, wouldn't the others...

Bai Muxiao was not annoyed either. She had not expected Nangong Cheng to rip her heart out all of a sudden. In that case, she would have doubted whether Nangong Cheng had any brain. She smiled quietly, looked towards the pool, and asked quietly: "Cousin Qing, will you look down on me?"

Nangong Cheng was startled and said hurriedly: "Cousin Xiao, how could this happen? Why do you think so?"

Bai Muxiao gave a bitter smile, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and said: "When my father was alive, there were many wives and concubines, and there were a lot of people in the house. Outside the house, they were even more unclean, even Even the news of his death only brought blackness to my mother's face... Even in the White House, my cousins ​​were secretly laughing at my mother and I. My grandparents were all unkind, so that I was a legitimate descendant of the White House. The girl had no choice but to return to Nangong Mansion with her mother..."

"Cousin Xiao!" Nangong Cheng hurriedly took Bai Muxiao's hand and tried to comfort her, "Just stay in Nangong Mansion with peace of mind from now on. Nangong Mansion will always be your and your aunt's home."

"Cousin Qing..." Tears shone in Bai Muxiao's eyes. She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and then said, "As long as you are willing to treat me as one of your own, I also asked you just now. I know it's rude, but I also care about you, Cousin Cheng, so I'm rash to say more."

Nangong Cheng lowered her head and said nothing, but her earlobes were already red.

"Cousin Qing." Bai Muxiao said with clear eyes, "My mother married into the Bai family because of her parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker. However, what kind of life did she live? What if my mother had also If you can be brave enough to make your own choices, you will definitely be much happier than you are now... And cousin Yue, everyone saw that she was married to Prince Zhennan by the emperor, but Prince Xiao's reputation as a playboy, Wang Who knows? Is this marriage really good?"

"Cousin Xiao." Nangong Cheng hurriedly grabbed her and said, "The third sister was given a marriage by the emperor. You cannot say such things..."

Bai Muxiao smiled and said no more. He changed the subject and said, "Cousin Qing, you are the eldest daughter of the family. The family will definitely choose a good marriage for you. But, are you really willing? Really? You also have the right to pursue happiness!"

Nangong Cheng's eyes flickered and he whispered: "Don't you think that would be frivolous and embarrassing?"

"Cousin Qing, what's so shameful about liking someone!" Bai Muxiao smiled freely, her clear eyes shining with bright light, "In my opinion, if you like someone, you have to fight for it, not Waiting stupidly. If you don’t fight for it now, you will definitely regret it in the future, and you will always think about how it would have been better if I had taken that step..."

Nangong Cheng remained silent, but thoughtfully.

Maybe, maybe she can give herself and him one last chance!

Bai Muxiao knew that it was impossible for her to figure it out all at once, so he smiled and held her arm and said: "Cousin Yue, today is cousin Yue's birthday. Let's go to Mozhu Courtyard to congratulate her. ."

Yes, today is the birthday of the third sister... Nangong Cheng cheered up, nodded and said: "Okay."

The two went to Mozhuyuan together.

Because of Nangong Yue’s status as Princess Yaoguang and the future Crown Princess of Zhennan, the Su family wanted to make a big deal about her birthday, but Nangong Yue’s Nangong Mansion was too ostentatious recently, so she needed to He refused on the grounds of keeping a low profile. However, although the birthday banquet was not held, birthday gifts were still sent to each room. Bai Muxiao even made a wind chime with unique ingenuity, which amazed the sisters in the house. Nangong Lin even pestered her to do the same. Want one. Bai Muxiao has always been generous and readily agreed.

Nangong Yue accepted the birthday gifts from the sisters, asked the maid to bring tea and snacks, and greeted them nicely.

In the evening, after going to Su's place to say hello, she returned to Qianyunyuan with her parents. Lin made a table of dishes with her own hands, and after the whole family and He Lele had eaten, they returned to Mozhuyuan.

Nangong Yue was instructing Lily to register the birthday gifts she received into the warehouse one by one, when suddenly a familiar figure appeared at the window. He skillfully climbed through the window and said with a smile: "Stinky girl!"

Baihui looked helpless. Prince Xiao had been sneaking in before he was granted a marriage, and he might be even more unscrupulous in the future. But helpless, she resigned and stood guard outside the door. .

Nangong Yue guessed that he would come tonight and raised her face to look at him. The bright moonlight made her smile even sweeter, "Are you here to give me a birthday gift?"

This was the first time the two met after the marriage, and she felt both a little happy and a little embarrassed.

"This is one of them." Xiao Yi said somewhat mysteriously, with a show-off look in his eyes.

That's the other way around. Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of curiosity.

Without waiting for her to ask, Xiao Yi took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Nangong Yue, "Look."

Nangong Yue was startled. Each of these banknotes was in denomination of 10,000 taels. There were ten of them, which was 100,000 taels of silver. Why did Xiao Yi give her one hundred thousand taels of silver inexplicably... Nangong Yue suddenly had an idea, one hundred thousand taels of silver is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, their one-year agreement!

Xiao Yi saw Nangong Yue suddenly enlightened and happily asked for praise: "Bad girl, am I good? I'm telling you, I will definitely earn 10,000 taels of gold within a year! All these 10,000 taels of gold are due to I didn't rely on my grandfather!" He was also afraid that Nangong Yue wouldn't believe it, so he told Nangong Yue one by one how he raised the principal in Guiyung Pavilion a year ago...

The more Nangong Yue listened, the funnier he became. She didn’t know whether to praise him for his flexibility or sympathize with Yuan Lingbai and the others. It turned out that this was how they were bullied by the eldest brother Xiao Yi.

After Xiao Yi finished showing off, he smiled and put his handsome face in front of Nangong Yue and asked: "Smelly girl, I won our bet, what are you going to reward me for?"

Nangong Yue asked with a crooked eyebrow: "Then what do you want?"

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yue would let go so easily. Xiao Yi was startled instead. He rolled his eyes and said, "Write it down first and wait until I think about it. Today is your birthday, and I shouldn't overwhelm you." Then he took out a long and flat mahogany box from his sleeve, placed it on the desk, and pushed it to Nangong Yue, "This is my birthday gift to you. Quick, open it and take a look!"

His look was even more impatient than hers.

On her tenth birthday, he gave her a jade pendant.

On her eleventh birthday, he gave her a long-lost "Gathering Herbal Medicine"!

Today is her twelfth birthday...

It turns out that they have known each other for such a long time... Nangong Yue's eyes were full of smiles. She slowly opened the long mahogany box and saw that the box was filled with paper folded into long strips. She was stunned at first, but when she unfolded them one by one...she was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

These papers are really not ordinary "paper". They are full of large-denomination banknotes, land deeds, house deeds, and deeds of farms and shops under Xiao Yi's name...

Xiao Yi pressed the papers flat before, but now after the papers were spread out, it was almost impossible to even place this piece of writing on the desk.

Did Xiao Yi take out all his belongings? Nangong Yue was like a wooden person who didn't come back to her senses for a while.

Xiao Yi looked on happily, thinking: The smelly girl must be so moved!

He hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "These are all my family properties now, including what my grandfather left me. I will keep them all for you from now on!" He must make the smelly girl feel that marrying him was her fault. The most correct decision!

Nangong Yue looked at his smiling peach blossom eyes, which were filled with brilliance.

She suddenly smiled, with a sly smile on her lips, and asked: "Are you sure you want to give these to me?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yi patted his chest and said matter-of-factly.

The smile on Nangong Yue's face became even bigger, her skin seemed to be glowing, and she said, "If you give all of this to me, what will you use to buy me a birthday gift next year?"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, as if he had not thought of this problem, but as soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately smiled and said in a charming voice: "Master, even the slave family is yours, what else do you want?" Huh?"

The voice he spoke suddenly turned into a soft female voice, which reminded Nangong Yue of that time when Xiao Yinan disguised himself as a woman, pretending to be an actor, and sneaked into Nangong's mansion...

Nangong Yue’s lips kept smiling, and with a thought in her mind, she deliberately raised Xiao Yi’s chin in a frivolous manner, pretending to be a swinger, “With a stunning beauty like Miss Xiaoyu, I am truly blessed. Of course I'm satisfied!" At the beginning, Xiao Yi dressed up as a woman and sang a ditty and deliberately teased herself, but Nangong Yue remembered it firmly in her heart and did not dare to forget it! Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to take advantage of it.

"Young Master! The slave family is so touched!" Xiao Yi has always had the temperament to climb up the pole. As soon as he got the opportunity, he made a coquettish gesture to lean on Nangong Yue... Nangong Yue finally laughed and said repeatedly : "No more playing! No more playing!"

Under the moonlight, her bright smile added a few rays of brightness to her pretty face.

Xiao Yi stared at her with a smile for a long time, hoping that she could keep such a smile forever!

Xiao Yi secretly made up her mind, then suddenly her face straightened up and she firmly made a promise: "I will work very hard!" Let her never regret it! The next sentence became frivolous again, "I will give you a more precious birthday gift next year!"

But Nangong Yue had already felt his thoughts and stared at him.

At this moment, she has no regrets!

……

As days passed, the peace negotiations between Dayu and Xirong finally reached an agreement through repeated trials and tug-of-war.

On the eighth day of June, Xirong agreed to cease the war and return the prisoners of war, but the merged state had to be placed under the jurisdiction of Xirong.

On June 17, Xirong proposed that Shangdang County and Yunzhong County in Bingzhou could be returned to Dayu, but Xihe County must belong to Xirong.

On June 25, Xirong agreed to withdraw its troops, return the army to Hengshan Pass, and return the prisoners of war, but Dayu had to reopen the "Guan Market" at Hengshan Pass for trade between the two countries, and Dayu married the king of Xirong as a princess. In addition, he will send a large amount of gold and property, and make a marriage agreement. In the next ten years, he will give a certain amount of gold, silk, wine, rice, iron and bronze utensils, etc. every year.

At this point, the terms of the peace negotiation between the two countries have finally taken a rough shape. The rest is to work out the specific details, and then the monarchs of the two countries will stamp their royal seals on the peace agreement.

As for the marriage of the princess, there are two theories circulating in the royal capital: one is that the second princess will marry Xirong, but the other is that the emperor was reluctant to let go of the second princess, so he chose Mingyue from Pingyang Marquis Mansion. The princess is married in place of her husband. I don’t know since when, the second theory has surged up like a tide, and almost no one believes that the person getting married will be the second princess.

It is said that Princess Mingyue was furious in the palace;

It is said that Princess Mingyue went to the palace and had a big quarrel with the second princess;

It is said that Princess Mingyue spoke freely and was disgusted by the emperor;

All kinds of rumors suddenly became the talk of the royal capital after dinner. Even not long ago, the ulterior marriage between the eldest daughter of Nangong Mansion and Jian Anbo Mansion was gradually forgotten because of this.

These news continued to reach Nangong Yue's ears, making her feel good.

Lily has been delivering news to Nangong Yue from outside the mansion these days. Thinking of the recent rumors, she found it very interesting and said, "Third Miss. It seems that Princess Mingyue and the Second Princess have completely fallen out."

Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Princess Mingyue has a very unruly temperament, and the second princess is not a kind-hearted person, so it is only natural that she would make such a fuss. According to my guess, at least for now, the emperor's preferred choice for family members is still the second princess. Princess, that's why the palace sent this post." She raised the big red gold-sprinkled post in her hand and said, "I'm afraid many noble ladies in the capital will receive this post, whether it is the Zhonghongmen Banquet or the Farewell Banquet. , after tomorrow, the palace will probably issue an explicit order."

Lily was stunned and blurted out: "Hongmen Banquet?"

Nangong Yue nodded slightly and said: "If the second princess doesn't want to get married, she has to let the emperor change his mind before the decree is made clear. Tomorrow's banquet may be her last and only chance."

Lily's eyes widened and she said worriedly: "Three girls, you'd better not go."

Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Now that the show has begun, how can I not watch it to the end? ... The second princess and Princess Mingyue, I don't know who can compete with the other."

Sounds like fun! Lily said with bright eyes: "Third girl, I will accompany you to the palace tomorrow!"

Nangong Yue responded with a smile.

So, early on the next morning, Nangong Yue had already dressed up, took Lily with her, and got on the Zhulun Car.

After entering the palace, Nangong Yue first went to Fengluan Palace to greet the queen, and then went to Xuehe Palace where the second princess lived.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Nangong Yue asked the chamberlain to put down the carriage and planned to stroll there by herself.

She walked around at a leisurely pace until a familiar call came from behind her.

"Sister Yue."

Nangong Yue looked back and saw Jiang Yixi getting off the carriage and walking towards her. The two of them greeted each other affectionately, and Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Congratulations to sister Yue on getting married by the emperor."

Nangong Yue's cheeks blushed slightly, and she put her arm around Jiang Yixi shyly, "Sister Xi, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Don't sit on the sidelines, let's walk over together."

Jiang Yixi naturally agreed. She waved away the servant who was raising her shoulder, held hands with Nangong Yue, and walked towards Xuehe Palace.

They all knew very well why they entered the palace today, and the topic could not help but change. They heard Jiang Yixi say with some regret: "It seems that the second princess is really going to get married this time. It's a pity that I'm so big Yu has good generals, but he is now in the position of sending the princess to get married. It is really sad. If General Guan Ruyan is still there, how can Xirong dare to be so arrogant..."

"The deceased has passed away." Nangong Yue's eyes dimmed and she said, "It's useless to say more..."

Whether it is sadness, regret, or annoyance, it is impossible to bring General Guan Ruyan back, it is impossible to give Guan Yubai a healthy body, and it is impossible to save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers who died innocently and unjustly. In this case, what more can be said.

Nangong Yue deliberately slowed down her pace, as if enjoying the scenery leisurely, but her eyes were carefully looking around until she saw the familiar figure wearing a colorful palace dress with dark flowers and clouds passing behind the rockery. At this time, she lowered her eyes slightly and changed the topic: "Sister Xi, do you really think it will be the second princess who is going to get married?"

Jiang Yixi was slightly startled and asked, "Why did sister Yue say that?"

Nangong Yue said bluntly: "As far as I know, the second princess is not willing to get married, so in the end, other noble girls will marry instead, right?"

"Are you Princess Mingyue?" Jiang Yixi said slightly surprised, "But this is just a rumor. I heard my mother said that the emperor had already issued an order for the second princess to get married."

Nangong Yue smiled and said pointedly: "Sister Xi also recognizes the second princess. With her personality, will she accept her fate like this?... Maybe she has been prepared for it. For example, those rumors in the royal capital, We all know that it is a rumor, but others don’t know. By then, even if the marriage princess is temporarily changed, everyone will take it for granted."

Jiang Yixi was surprised and said: "Sister Yue thinks that the second princess will..."

"If the second princess wants to find someone to marry as her replacement, today is probably the best opportunity." Nangong Yue reminded seriously, "Sister Xi, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case..."

"I understand. Sister Yue." Jiang Yixi's palms were covered with sweat and she nodded solemnly.

Nangong Yue glanced at the direction of the rockery, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Qu Jiayue's appearance here was by chance, but not by chance.

As Qu Jiayue, she is bound to receive posts, and most of the girls who receive posts will also arrive at this time. This road is the only way to Xuehe Palace. Qu Jiayue will definitely appear. Just wait for the right time and adapt to the opportunity.

The show is about to begin!

The goal has been achieved, Nangong Yue no longer delayed, speeding up her pace and arriving at Xuehe Palace with Jiang Yixi.

After saluting the second princess, the two of them sat down respectively. Not long after, Qu Jiayue also arrived. Her face was a little ugly. Even when she greeted the second princess, she did it hastily and didn't wait. The second princess stood up on her own without any courtesy and sat opposite Nangong Yue.

The second princess' face froze and she stared at her fiercely, but at least she had some sense of control and knew that she must not make a fuss today, so she reluctantly endured it.

The people invited this time were all the noble ladies of the royal capital. Including her and Jiang Yixi, there were only seven or eight people.

When everyone had arrived, the second princess said with a smile: "I invite you here today because I got a new play script a few days ago, and I just had the play rehearsed. I don't like it. I feel bored watching it alone, so I want you to watch it with me."

"The princess is so kind, and I am deeply grateful." The speaker was Lu Zhen from Xuan Ping's residence. She looked much more haggard than a few months ago, with a clear gloomy look between her eyebrows.

Han Qixia also asked with interest: "I wonder what the second cousin's play is called?"

The second princess gave it away and said: "You will know after a while. Let's go to the theater first."

While speaking, the second princess stood up first. Seeing this, the other girls also stood up one after another. Under the guidance of the palace ladies, they went to the theater located in the north of the imperial garden. This is the smallest and most exquisite of the theaters in the palace, and the closest to Xuehe Palace. Because the second princess likes to watch theater, it has been renovated several times in the past few years. Although it is small, it has all the necessary features.

Everyone sat down one by one, the maids brought them tea and snacks, and then quietly retreated.

"This play was specially arranged by me." The second princess said in a good mood, "Today is the first time to perform..." She said, gave two high-fives, and the stage sounded. There was a burst of string music, and then an actor came on stage from behind the stage with his sleeves slightly raised. He danced softly, opened his red lips, and sang "咿咿咿 Yeah".

Not long after listening to it, Nangong Yue guessed that the content of the play was similar to the stories circulated in the market. It was about a girl whose family ran a tea business and a down-and-out scholar who met and fell in love and persuaded her parents. Married to a scholar, spent all his family property to support the scholar to continue his studies, and went to Beijing to take the exam. Later, the scholar won the first prize in the exam, and the girl knew that she was born into a ninth-rate "business" student. She felt ashamed and invited herself to leave the court, thus making the marriage between the scholar and the girl from the prime minister's family perfect.

Nangong Yue looked at it inexplicably and soon lost interest. Besides her, Qu Jiayue also seemed a little absent-minded.

At this time, Nangong Yue saw the second princess leaving the theater quietly.

Not long after, a palace maid came over and whispered in her ear, "Princess Yaoguang, the second princess invites you and Miss Jiang to go to Xuehe Palace to talk."

Nangong Yue looked at her with confusion and asked in confusion: "Invite me? But I just heard the second princess say that she would invite Princess Mingyue to come over."

"Huh?" The palace maid was a little stunned. She seemed to recall it carefully before she said, "I am indeed inviting you and Miss Jiang."

"Girl, you should go back and confirm with the second princess first." Nangong Yue looked like she was sincerely considering her, "If you make a mistake with the wrong person, you will be scolded by the second princess."

Jiang Yixi raised her head and asked, "Sister Yue, what happened?"

"Nothing." Nangong Yue replied with a smile, "The second princess invited Princess Mingyue to go to Xuehe Palace. The palace maid made a mistake."

Jiang Yixi nodded, said nothing more, and continued to look at the stage.

After hearing this, Qu Jiayue said, "Let me pass?"

"No, it's not..." The palace maid was still very sure that the second princess was looking for Princess Yaoguang and Miss Jiang, but before she could explain it clearly, Qu Jiayue had already stood up with a "Teng" sound. , rushed out aggressively, and said: "Okay! Then I, the princess, will go and see what she wants to say to me!"

Qu Jiayue's footsteps were heavy and her fists were clenched tightly, as if she could no longer suppress her anger.

"Princess..." The palace maid was about to chase her out, but was grabbed by Nangong Yue. She saw her saying sheepishly, "Girl, can you take me to the cleansing room?"

In the moment when the palace maid was being dragged, Qu Jiayue had already left the theater.

Qu Jiayue was filled with anger at this time.

In the past few days, rumors have spread from nowhere that she wants to marry Xirong. Qu Jiayue has a very close relationship with the second princess, so she naturally knows that the second princess is not willing to marry. She still remembers that the second princess quietly told her, She would find someone to marry her. At that time, Qu Jiayue thought this was a good idea. However, she never expected that the second princess would actually target her!

She was angry at the time and hurried to the palace to seek confirmation, but was denied by the second princess.

However, within a few days after she returned home, the rumors became more and more widespread, and even spread to some people, saying that the second princess was unwilling to get married. The emperor felt sorry for the second princess and wanted to be among the noble daughters of the royal capital. Choose another one, and the second princess strongly recommended her...

Such rumors kept reaching her ears day by day, making her more and more panicked.

Although my mother always comforts me by saying that this is just a rumor, there is a saying that goes well, "It may come out of nowhere, but it may not be silent"...

She and the second princess have played together since childhood. No one knows the second princess better than her. If sacrificing her can prevent the second princess from getting married, then the second princess will definitely not hesitate.

She entered the palace again and confronted the second princess, but it ended in a big quarrel and was even scolded by the emperor for it.

But even so, the rumors still did not slow down. It was not until today that Qu Jiayue understood the purpose of the rumors after overhearing the conversation between Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi.

The second princess’s intentions turned out to be sinister!

She wanted to see what the second princess wanted to do by calling her there!

Qu Jiayue entered Xuehe Palace angrily, and rushed directly to the inner hall regardless of the obstruction of the maids.

As soon as the second princess saw Qu Jiayue, she immediately became furious and asked unhappily: "What are you doing here?!"

Qu Jiayue said angrily, "I also want to ask the second princess what she wants to do. I haven't settled the accounts with the second princess for the rumors in the capital. What else does the second princess want to do today?"

"You..."

The second princess had planned well and asked people to bring Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi over, but...

These days, the second princess has long been annoyed by Qu Jiayue's unreasonable troubles. However, the matter of substitute marriage is related to her life. She does not dare to leak it at all. Unexpectedly, Qu Jiayue unexpectedly makes three mistakes He came to trouble her four times!

The marriage will be announced tomorrow, and she only has one chance. If someone calls Jiang Yixi now, it may arouse suspicion. Since it was Qu Jiayue who sent it to her door, don't blame her for being unjust!

Moreover, this is the second time Qu Jiayue has come to her Xuehe Palace to cause trouble. Once what happens next, it will be much more logical than Jiang Yixi's...

The second princess made up her mind instantly. There was a cold light in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she said in a soft voice: "Cousin, why is this necessary? The rumors in the capital are really not my fault. Why. Cousin, if you think about it calmly, you will know what good this has to do with me." She stepped forward and took Qu Jiayue's hand, and said, "There are many noble girls in the royal capital, so what if I want to choose someone to marry me instead? My cousin will be chosen, don’t you think?"

Qu Jiayue looked at her angrily and said sarcastically: "I also want to ask the second princess why she chose me?!"

"Cousin, it seems you won't believe me no matter what I say." The second princess sighed, stepped forward and took Qu Jiayue's hand, and said, "Cousin...ah!"

The second princess suddenly let out a scream of terror and fell backwards. Her back hit the dressing table. A pair of scissors fell from the dressing table, and the blade fell on her forehead. superior.

"Pain..."

The second princess covered her forehead with her hands in pain, and blood flowed out from between her fingers. It was really scary against the backdrop of her snow-white skin.

Qu Jiayue was stunned. She was certain that she had not done anything just now.

Qu Jiayue was so angry that she rushed over without hesitation and shouted: "Han Haoxue, how dare you frame me!"

Her ghost-like appearance frightened the second princess. This time she was really panicked and shouted desperately: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming-"

……

When the girls who were watching the play in the theater learned about what happened in Xuehe Palace, they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Princess Mingyue and the second princess quarreled over something unknown. Princess Mingyue pushed the second princess down in anger, causing the second princess to be...disfigured? !

Jiang Yixi held Nangong Yue's hand in surprise. She still remembered what Nangong Yue said when she first entered the palace in the morning. Could it be that Nangong Yue had really guessed it? This was what the second princess did to not get married. Self-directed and acted?

Nangong Yue is not surprised. Now that the second princess wants to break up the marriage, she must pay the price. For a woman, the most important thing is her appearance. If her appearance is damaged, the marriage will naturally be affected. What's more, it's such a big deal as getting married! Especially because someone had damaged her appearance... In this case, it was necessary to change someone to get married, and the person who damaged the second princess's appearance was naturally the undoubted candidate.

Judging from the palace maid who just came to deliver the message, the second princess's original target was indeed Jiang Yixi just like in her previous life... Thinking of this, Nangong Yue also held her hand in return and showed her a comforting smile.

Finally, Sister Xi will not repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

As for the second princess, since she dared to sacrifice her appearance, she must have left a way out for herself. She would not really be disfigured. It was a pity for Princess Mingyue... when she wantonly ruined the reputation of her eldest sister. , did you ever think that you would end up in this situation because of a little rumor?

The girls were sent out of the palace one by one in shock, and on the next day, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion received an imperial edict—consecrating Qu Jiayue, Princess Mingyue, as Heshuo Mingyue Princess, and marrying Xirong, that day Get married!

The afterglow of Princess Mingyue’s marriage has not yet completely faded. On the second day of July, Princess Xiao Fang of Zhennan arrived in the royal capital with her niece Fang Si, Ziteng...
