After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Murong Zhixi couldn't hold on any longer and raised her head frequently to ask Liu Yunxiang for help.

Liu Yunxiang's heart was spinning, and he gestured to Murong Zhixi, asking her to stabilize first, and then hurriedly ran out. She ran to the garden and saw a bush of peony. She hurriedly picked a few petals, crushed them into pieces, kneaded out the bright red flower juice, and wiped a handful around her left eye.

She looked around again and saw a small lake not far away.

She wanted to take a look at her face to see if such a disguise could deceive Madam Murong and Murong Zhiqing. She ran to the lake and saw a little girl wearing ordinary cotton clothes standing by the lake, as if she was about to jump in.

She hurriedly ran forward, and when the child jumped up, she hugged her waist, took a few steps back and put her on the ground.

"Do you know the danger? You will die if you jump!" She shouted, and then looked at the little girl's pink and tender face, her round face, and her big eyes, but she just looked a little uncomfortable.

"Lost, lost, lost..."

She seemed not to hear her and kept repeating the word.

"What did you lose?"

"Lost, lost..."

Liu Yunxiang thought there was something wrong with the child's ears. She held her face and wanted her to look at her, but found that her eyes kept avoiding her, and then she realized that the child was not normal.

Liu Yunxiang hesitated for a moment and walked to the lake to take a look. He saw a piece of handkerchief on the lake not far away. It was the kind of cotton handkerchief used by ordinary people. It was dusty.

She looked around, but there was no long stick or anything with which to pick up the handkerchief. The water was very deep, and she was afraid that the child would jump in again, so she took out her own handkerchief and gave it to the child.

"Sister's veil is given to you, okay?"

"Lost, lost..."

Liu Yunxiang saw the sweat on the little girl's forehead and gently wiped it away with her handkerchief, then took her hand and put it in her palm.

"No, this is your veil."

The girl lowered her head and saw the handkerchief in her hand, so she stopped mumbling.

At this time, a woman about fifty years old with white temples came running in. She was also wearing ordinary cotton clothes, which was really out of place in the royal garden. She might have sneaked in.

"Yue'er, oh, you scared me to death." When the woman saw that the little girl was fine, she patted her chest and looked at Liu Yunxiang, "I saw it over there. The girl saved my Yue'er. It's true." Grateful."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "What's wrong with this little girl?"

The woman sighed and pointed at her brain, "It's like this since birth."

Liu Yunxiang nodded and thought of something when he left, and said: "Auntie, you sneaked in, so hurry up and don't let anyone find out, or you will get into trouble."

"Yes, we are leaving now."

Liu Yunxiang bent down and stared at the little girl. When he saw her avoiding her eyes, he smiled and said: "Your name is Yue'er, right? My sister lives in Nanhong Building at the west end of East Street. My sister's house has many fragrant handkerchiefs. They are very beautiful. You If you like it, sister will give you another piece, but you’re not allowed to do such dangerous things, you know?”

The little girl didn't know whether she understood this sentence or not, she just muttered: "Danger... danger... I don't dare... I don't dare."

Liu Yunxiang nodded to the woman again, thinking about Murong Zhixi, and ran away quickly.

After she left, another nanny in palace clothes trotted over.

"Is Yue'er okay?"

The woman shook her head, "No, thanks to that girl."

The nanny nodded, "It's okay. My wife is also frightened. You can lead Yue'er to the garden to pick peaches. You have to watch her closely this time."

"Yes, it's scary."

Liu Yunxiang returned to the pavilion and heard Murong Zhiqing shouting: "You clearly know that the Queen is attending the Hundred Flowers Festival today to meet girls from various families and choose concubines or concubines for several princes. Mother originally wanted to follow Queen, let me marry you to His Majesty the King of England. Are you dressing up so brightly to steal my limelight and spoil my mother's important event?"

"I never thought so, it's just a piece of clothing..."

"Then change these clothes into my old clothes!"

Murong Zhixi raised her head and looked at Madam Murong, but she did not speak, apparently condoning Murong Zhiqing's arrogant behavior.

"I don't... ah!"

Before Murong Zhixi finished speaking, Murong Zhiqing slapped her.

Liu Yunxiang happened to come over. When he saw this scene, he stepped forward and slapped him back.

Clap!

Murong Zhiqing covered her face and looked at Liu Yunxiang in disbelief, "You dare to hit me, you cheap maid!"

Madam Murong frowned, "The following offender, are you willing to risk your life?"

Liu Yunxiang lowered his head, put his hands on one side, and said: "This slave is a maid from the British Prince's Palace, not from the Chief Assistant Palace, so there is no such thing as the following. But after the princess marries the British Queen, she is a member of the royal family, and you two are just I am a wife and a daughter, so the two of you who are to blame should be the ones below!"

"How dare you talk nonsense, you cheap maid!" Murong Zhiqing went up to hit Liu Yunxiang.

"Hey, Princess, the mark of the slap on your face is so obvious. Let's show it to the Queen later. This wife of the First Assistant allowed her daughter to insult you and even hit you, completely ignoring that you are five months pregnant. You have the emperor's heir in your belly. Such behavior is not enough for one person, it is clearly an attempt to kill the emperor's heir!"

The phrase 'murdering the emperor's heir' made Madam Murong blush, but Murong Zhiqing was still as arrogant as ever.

"She is a concubine and I am a legitimate son, so what if I beat her!"

"Our princess will tell the Queen exactly what she said."

"You think I'm afraid..."

"Zhiqing, shut up!"

Mrs. Murong stood up and walked over, her face already very ugly. She came from a heavy family in Beijin, and there were differences between concubines and concubines. Although it was a rule left by the ancestors, who didn't know that the current emperor was a concubine, and the queen was also a concubine, so in the second generation In front of a saint, one must not mention his concubine.

But Madam Murong would not let a maid hold her head down, and she would hit her if she raised her hand.

Murong Zhixi immediately blocked Liu Yunxiang and caught the slap.

"Zhixi, you!"

"Mother, what did this maid say?"

Madam Murong frowned, "Although you are not my biological child, I brought you to my side to raise you right after you were born. Have I ever treated you badly in these years? Does raising kindness not count as kindness?"

Murong Zhixi's eyes turned red, "It turns out that mother doesn't feel that she has treated me badly!"

She looked at Madam Murong, saw the indifference in her eyes, and finally couldn't help but said: "Second sister was originally engaged to be married, but the other party's family was in decline. Mother asked me to marry that down-and-out scholar, and I agreed. The King of England came to the house to propose marriage to my second sister. My father didn't want to offend me, so he turned down the marriage and married me to the King of England. I didn't say anything. Now that my second sister couldn't get married, it was my fault. The king has gained power and wants to marry his second sister into the palace. He also said that I have to agree even if I don't agree. Mother, have you ever considered my feelings? I have always respected and loved you, so don't you feel cold to your daughter's heart? "

At this point, Murong Zhixi had already burst into tears.

Madam Murong's face turned livid, "It turns out that you already have a grudge against me, so it's useless for me to do everything for you!"

Liu Yunxiang supported Murong Zhixi and said anxiously: "Princess, why do you look so bad? Do you have a stomachache? Do you have fetal force?"

Murong Zhixi was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Liu Yunxiang winking at her, she hurriedly covered her lower abdomen knowingly, "Oh, it really hurts."

"I must have been slapped twice, and I was so angry that I got pregnant now, and something big is going to happen!"

After Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Murong and Murong Zhiqing, both of whom were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
