"You are just a concubine of the crown prince. Do you really think I dare not touch you?"

Seeing that a concubine dared to challenge her, Yan Ji showed anger on her face and pointed at Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "Come here, slap her in the face!"

The maid following behind Yan Ji was about to step forward to carry out the order of her princess.

Concubine Xiao quickly protected Lu Xiaoxiao behind her. She raised her chin slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness, "You dare to touch her?"

The old lady of Ningguo also changed her expression and gave Aunt You a quick look.

Aunt You nodded slightly, looked up at the Princess of Yan, and walked out hurriedly.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t come soon after what happened today, I’m afraid it will be out of control.

Yun Xu's anger grew stronger and stronger, and he said angrily, "This is Li State, not your Yan State!"

As the daughter of a military general, Yun Xu is more impulsive and more protective than Yun Liu. Since she is her recognized cousin-in-law, how could she allow outsiders to bully her?

Others are afraid of the Princess of Yan, but she is not!

"If you dare to attack my cousin's wife, I will definitely be rude to you!"

"Xuer!"

Seeing that his sister seemed to be about to rush up and fight with the Princess of Yan at the next moment, Yun Liu quickly pulled her back and whispered, "Don't stand here, go find mother and come over. Our family can't be wronged for nothing!"

A'niang had accompanied Dad to the battlefield and was the person she admired most. If A'niang were here, she would definitely be able to deal with the Princess of Yan.

As for the old lady of Duke Ningguo...

Yun Liu seldom lived in Shengjing, so he didn't have a deep impression of the old lady of Ningguo Duke, nor did he know her character.

I really don't know how the old lady of Ningguo will handle this matter. She will either try to smooth things over and not offend either side, or she will help the Princess of Yan or help Cousin Lu...

"Okay, I'll go find my mother right away!"

Hearing this, Yunxu ran out quickly.

Yan Ji's target was not her, and she didn't care about her leaving at all.

"She spoke rudely to me, and I'm upset. What if I teach her a lesson?"

Yan Ji looked at them coldly: "Do you really want to protect her?"

Concubine Xiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes and stood firmly in front of Lu Xiaoxiao. Just as she was about to speak, she felt her sleeve being pulled.

Then, she heard Lu Xiaoxiao's soft voice: "Sister Concubine, please get out of the way first. She wants to make trouble for me, so she should be right."

Lu Xiaoxiao sneered.

She has a soft personality, but she is not someone who can be bullied by anyone!

Seeing that Concubine Xiao still didn't move, Lu Xiaoxiao was moved and gently pushed her aside, "Sister Concubine, please stand aside."

Concubine Xiao was helpless, looking at her hesitantly as if she wanted to say something.

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't care much. She raised her eyes, and her usually bright almond-shaped eyes now had a hint of sharpness. She said to the Princess of Yan: "Princess Yan, if you want to put on airs here, why don't you want to see your husband?"

"Don't you want to know how your husband is doing?"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked harmless, but her words really pierced the heart of the Princess of Yan.

Yan Ji's face changed.

How could she not want to see him?

But she had no idea where the prince consort was being held!

If we can’t find the prince consort, we can’t find the gold!

Lu Xiaoxiao sneered and said slowly, "It was raining so hard that day, but Princess Yan was still in a hurry to go out. But it's also true that the food at Zui Xiang Lou is so delicious, it's normal for Princess Yan to miss it."

Princess Yan's face suddenly darkened, and she looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with cold eyes, as if she was looking at a dead person: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was not afraid of her gaze at all. Since she dared to speak out, she was not afraid of being suspected by the Princess of Yan: "I think Princess Yan knows what I want to say. If Princess Yan insists on making things difficult for me, then I can only ask His Highness to go to the palace to complain."

"I wonder what Princess Yan thinks?"

After what she said, Yan Ji became even more annoyed, but she still had some concerns. She didn't know what the prince's concubine knew.

Once the Emperor of Li knew that she had signed the document with the Fourth Prince of Li, she would not only fail to save her husband, but would also most likely not be able to leave Shengjing!

After all, the fourth prince of Li Kingdom was planning a rebellion!

This time, she could let the Crown Prince Liangyuan go first, and then take her life after she left the Ningguo Mansion!

In order to protect her and the fourth prince of Li, Crown Prince Liang Yuan must die!

Yan Ji thought about it for a while before she suppressed her anger. She took a deep breath and said harshly, "Very good, you are the only one who dares to threaten me! I will let you go today! I am waiting to see what happens to you!"

"She will live well, but I want to see what will happen to you."

A cold voice suddenly came from a distance, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the garden.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too!"

"I didn't expect that the old lady of Duke Ningguo would even invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

There was constant discussion all around.

Looking at the extremely ugly expression of the Princess of Yan, Lu Xiaoxiao was in a good mood. She turned around and saw Xie Xi walking towards her.

Following Xie Xi were three men who looked quite similar to her, whom she had never seen before.

Aunt You walked at the back.

[No wonder I saw Aunt You leaving just now. It turns out that Aunt You went to ask for help. That's great. I finally got His Highness to come and support me!]

[Your Highness, the Princess of Yan is so arrogant, she even wants her maid to slap me in the face!!]

[Look at her eyes, she still wants to kill me! ]

Concubine Xiao on the side: "..."

Sour.

Sister Lu only knows how to complain to His Highness!

I was clearly protecting her just now, so why didn’t I hear Sister Lu say a single soft word to her?

[Your Highness, I think the Princess of Yan must be secretly thinking about how to kill me again. Your Highness, please protect me! ]

Hearing the familiar voice, which was full of grievance, Xie Xi's heart softened into a puddle of water. He quickened his pace and soon walked to the side of Lu Xiaoxiao, unconsciously pushing Concubine Xiao to the side.

Concubine Xiao:……?

Oh, after all, she doesn't deserve it.

Xie Xi took Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, lowered his eyes, and looked her over quickly. Seeing that she was not injured, Xie Xi felt relieved.

Everyone who witnessed this scene: ???

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats Lu Liangyuan so gently? ?

Many girls at the scene couldn't help feeling jealous and wanted to rush up and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hold their hands!

But now the Princess of Yan was quarreling with Lu Liangyuan, and they did not dare to step forward to persuade them.

She was the eldest princess of Yan State, and they didn't dare to offend her, so they could only stay where they were and watch the show.

Xie Xi ignored the looks of the girls. He lowered his head and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao. His cold eyes softened instantly. "Are you having fun here?"

When His Highness appeared, Lu Xiaoxiao straightened her back. She shook her head and looked at Xie Xi with an aggrieved look on her face, "Your Highness, Princess Yan has been making things difficult for me."

Concubine Xiao's mouth twitched. Sister Lu's words were so direct.

Lu Xiaoxiao's words shocked many people present.

Even the old lady of Ningguo Duke did not expect that she would be so fierce and told the matter directly.

Yun Liu felt that Cousin Lu's wife was straightforward and frank, much better than those noble ladies whose words implied hundreds of meanings.

Yan Ji's face was distorted, but she held back her anger and didn't step forward to slap the prince's concubine twice. She gritted her teeth and said, "Are all the women in the Prince's Mansion of Li Kingdom so rude and unruly?"

"She provoked me, so what's wrong with me teaching her a lesson?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart: [Think about it yourself, what's wrong? ]

[We are not in Yan State, why are you showing off your power as a princess in Li State? My prince is the crown prince of Li State, and he is not as arrogant as you! ]

Hearing this, Xie Xi curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly, and a smile flashed across his face.

When looking at Yan Ji, Xie Xi's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a light tone: "Princess Yan came uninvited, without the slightest awareness of being a guest, and wanted to make a scene in the Ningguo Mansion. The Ningguo Madam gave you some face out of consideration for your status. Don't you think that I don't know what you did here?"

"You have been targeting Lu Liangyuan time and again. What exactly do you want to do?"

"This is Li, not Yan. You don't have to act like a princess. After all, I can't just ignore it."

"If Princess Yan really dares to do something to my woman, I am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by Princess Yan at will."

[Your Highness is so domineering, what he said is exactly what I thought! ]

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Xi with sparkling eyes.

Yan Ji understood the threat in the words of the Crown Prince of Li, and knew that with the Crown Prince of Li present today, she had no way to deal with Lu Liangyuan, so she could only temporarily put aside the idea of ​​assassinating Lu Liangyuan.

This Lu Liangyuan must know something. She must go to the Fourth Prince of Li to discuss this matter!

Yan Ji said coldly: "Prince of Li, just wait and see!"

After saying this, Yan Ji turned around and left in anger.

The maid behind her lowered her head and hurried to follow.

Soon, the bright red figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

The old lady of Duke Ningguo slowly withdrew her gaze, sighed softly, and bowed to the Crown Prince: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness. I did not handle this matter in time just now, please forgive me, Your Highness."

In fact, if she didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come, she would really have intervened. But Liu had already told her that His Royal Highness would come, so the old lady of the Duke of Ningguo decided not to interfere in the matter, but instead sent Aunt You out to find His Royal Highness as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Aunt You did not let her down.

Xie Xi gave her a hand and said softly, "Old Madam, don't think too much. This matter was caused by me, and I should have come here to solve it myself."

When the Princess of Yan came to the Ningguo Mansion, Xie Xi had already received the news. However, there were secret guards following Lu Xiaoxiao to ensure her safety. Therefore, Xie Xi did not rush over immediately, but dealt with the matters his father had instructed him to do first before coming over.

Hearing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the old lady of Duke Ningguo felt relieved.

The old lady of Ningguo Duke took Aunt You away from here.

The three men who were originally following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at each other quickly and followed him.

One of them yelled, "Grandma, wait for us!"

They have no friendship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they only accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he is coming.

However, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need their company at all at this moment, so they should be tactful and not stand here and get in His Royal Highness's way.

……

At this moment, everyone present realized that it was the Crown Prince who had arrived, and they should bow.

Suddenly, there was a scene of everyone kneeling down.

Lu Xiaoxiao also knelt down, but after a while, Xie Xi pulled her up again, "Stand up, no need to be polite, just continue to enjoy the flowers."

Everyone stood up.

But at this time, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, which girl would have the heart to appreciate the flowers?

Each of them was stabbing Lu Xiaoxiao with cold knives.

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

I felt a deep malice.

[Your Highness, standing next to me, I always feel like those girls want to eat me...]

[That's right, my prince is so good-looking, who wouldn't like him? But, my prince is mine alone, hehe~]

Thinking happily in her heart, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stare at Xie Xi.

Xie Xi laughed, with a faint smile in his eyes. He raised his hand and rubbed her head, whispering: "Do you want to go out?"

"..."

Concubine Xiao didn't want to eat this bowl of dog food. Looking at the two people's sticky looks, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Concubine Xiao pulled her cousin Yun Liu's hand helplessly, "Cousin Liu, let's go enjoy the flowers first."

"what……"

Yun Liu was shocked by the gentleness of her cousin the Crown Prince. She swallowed and said in disbelief, "Is that really the Crown Prince cousin?"

Concubine Xiao raised her hand and patted her shoulder, saying earnestly: "You will get used to it after seeing it more often in the future."

Yun Liu shuddered for no apparent reason and shook his head: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have known that my cousin the Crown Prince could be so gentle and considerate to a woman."

"But cousin..."

Yun Liu hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Aren't you sad that your cousin the Crown Prince is like this?"

Concubine Xiao was speechless for a moment.

Could she say that she had no such thoughts about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

In front of cousin Liu, Concubine Xiao shook her head and acted very generously: "There is nothing to be sad about. His Royal Highness is so kind. It would be the best if there is another sister who loves His Royal Highness."

Yun Liu: “…”

Well, it turns out that the person who can become the prince's concubine is not an ordinary person.

Seeing the complicated expression on Cousin Liu's face, Concubine Xiao suppressed the smile that was about to overflow from the corner of her lips and said, "Cousin Xu, tell me--"

"Huh? Why can't I see cousin Xu?"

Only then did Concubine Xiao notice that Cousin Xu was not here at all.

"Cousin Liu, where's cousin Xu?"

Yun Liu came back to his senses and said, "I just asked my sister to go find my mother..."

After saying this, Yun Liu paused and looked around. She didn't see her mother and sister. She frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "That's not right. Mother doesn't seem to be here either?"
