The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Bai Yimeng's injuries only looked serious, and he was full of life in just two days.

The Yueguo Mansion sent an invitation, and Yueguo Duke's eldest granddaughter Yue Wanyan invited Bai Yimeng to the mansion to appreciate the flowers.

Bai Yimeng didn't like Yue Wanyan, and was rejected by her when he sent her an invitation for the first time. However, this time Yue Wanyan came to him in person, so Bai Yimeng had no reason to refuse.

With Bohe's careful dressing, Bai Yimeng went to the Duke's Mansion in a long egg-blue brocade dress and a pure green cape.

This was her first visit since she had a falling out with Yue Wanyan. To be honest, Bai Yimeng was a hundred percent unwilling to go. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a yard full of "butterflies", each dressed like the top star of Chun Man Lou.

Bai Yimeng doesn't often attend such occasions, and she doesn't know why Yue Wanyan wanted her to come this time.

Looking at the unfamiliar faces, Bai Yimeng wanted to hide herself. A girl in yellow came forward and bowed to her, "I am Chen Ying, the younger sister of Chen Rui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I don't know what your name is."

Before Bai Yimeng could speak, a woman grabbed Chen Ying's hand and said, "You are dressed like this, and you look like the daughter of a low-ranking official. What are you talking to her about? Aren't you afraid of getting yourself dirty?"

Bai Yimeng pondered it carefully, and it seemed that this was true. Although her father was the Marquis of Zhenbei, he did not hold an official position. Yuwen Ji had told her that titles and official positions were different.

No one paid any attention to her, so she just had some peace and quiet. A person squatted beside the grass and watched ants moving, and heard some noises.

"I heard that the young wife of Prince Yi was beaten by His Majesty again. My cousin works in the Inner City Department and heard it. I heard that she was beaten particularly badly."

Bai Yimeng twitched his lips and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

Why did so many people care about her when she was beaten? It was really hard for them.

The one who was speaking was a girl in purple clothes. She was unfamiliar with the girl. Suddenly she caught sight of Bai Yimeng and looked her up and down. "What are you doing here? Go away."

Chen Ying pulled Bai Yimeng away, "I see you don't come to such gatherings often. It doesn't matter, I just came to Beijing and I don't know how to dress myself like you. Can I teach you later?"

"Thank you, Sister Chen." Bai Yimeng is known for her sweet words, and people who call her sister all the time will be delighted.

"Chen Ying, what did you say to that little girl? Come and listen to the story." The girl in purple pulled Chen Ying impatiently.

Seeing that they ignored her, Bai Yimeng simply ran to the pond to look at the fishes.

"Kid, what's your name? Where are you from? Look at the way you're dressed, are you a concubine's child?" The purple-clothed girl might have become interested, so she came up to Bai Yimeng and stopped him, asking him a bunch of questions in rapid succession.

"My parents passed away five years ago. I have three older brothers who were appointed to the Ministry of War at the beginning of this year. I am not a concubine's child. My father only married my mother. Who are you, sister?"

Bai Yimeng was too embarrassed to say that he was the poor guy who was beaten in her words. He could only go around in circles and tell her about his family background.

Seeing that she didn't mention the official positions of her father and brother, the purple-clothed lady was even more convinced that she was from a small family, not presentable.

"Don't call me sister. I'm Mu Xueru, the third young lady of Marquis Luyang's mansion. Just call me the third young lady."

Mu Xueru's eyes were full of arrogance. She glanced at Yue Wanyan who was not far away, and pulled Bai Yimeng to say, "I don't like the behavior of Duke Yue. It's disgusting to see the face of a villain who has succeeded.

I'm going to make some trouble to disgust them. What do you think? "

Before Bai Yimeng could react, Mu Xueru suddenly turned around and pushed her into the water.

She ruffled her hair and yelled, then jumped into the water after a few words, "You little girl are so shameless. How dare you hit someone? I... I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Luyang after all, who do you think you are..."

Bai Yimeng didn't say anything, just waited for her to call everyone over, then turned cold and said, "Are you the bad guy who's complaining first? Sister Yue, please come and judge for yourself."

Bai Yimeng doesn't like to be bullied by others because of her status. She didn't say it before just because she wanted to be more comfortable in her actions. She didn't expect that there is such a good person.

Yue Wanyan laughed and said, "Sister Bai, you should apologize to Sister Mu, otherwise your reputation will be ruined."

Bai Yimeng sneezed, "Are you done?"

Maybe he invited this troublemaker Mu Xueru to come here to humiliate her. Ye Lan glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but sneer.

"younger sister……"

"Shut up!" Bai Yimeng shouted, clapping his hands. "Jinyun, do you know how to report to His Majesty when you get back?"

"I saw it clearly. It was the Third Miss of the Marquis of Luyang Mansion who pushed you. You lost your balance and fell into the pool. The Third Miss also messed up her hair and framed you.

The young lady of the Duke of Yue's Mansion did not uphold justice, and I will report this matter to Your Majesty truthfully."

"Humph, who are you trying to scare? Just because you are a poor man, you are worthy of seeing His Majesty?

Tell me, who sent you to me? And who sent you to slander me?

Mu Xueru was always arrogant and looked down on Bai Yimeng who was dressed like this. How could she believe that her subordinates could see the emperor?

Besides, the emperor would care about it, but the girls in the harem are making trouble? It's ridiculous.

Bai Yimeng slapped him, "How dare you! Jinyun, don't save face for Marquis Luyang. Find someone to inform the government that someone is maliciously committing a crime."

"Not really, not really. We are all family, why would we do that? Why are you in the water, Princess Sui'an?" When the eldest lady of the Duke of Yue heard that the situation had gotten out of hand, she hurried out to help.

Bai Yimeng sneered, "Madam, you must have remembered it wrong. My last name is Bai, your last name is Guo, and your husband's last name is Yue. We are not a family anyway."

Bai Yimeng turned his head to look at the treetops, and Jin Heng appeared. "Imperial Guard, Jin Heng, greets the Madam. I am here to take care of Princess Sui'an by His Majesty's order."

"This princess has always disliked being reserved, but I never expected that people would mistake me for being ignorant of etiquette. You are all ladies from wealthy families, so I'm sure you all know all the etiquette.

In this case, please tell me how to greet the princess when you see her?"

The eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion took the lead in kneeling and bowing, "Your Highness greets the princess."

Bai Yimeng nodded slightly, "Madam, there is no need to be so polite."

The others bowed and greeted one by one, and Bai Yimeng nodded in return. Turning his head to look at Mu Xueru in the water, "Miss Mu San, what do you say?"

When Bai Yimeng was playing, her eyes were full of innocence. When she got angry, she looked like she wanted to keep strangers away. Mu Xueru shuddered and quickly knelt down to pay her respects, "Xueru greets Princess Sui'an."

"Yeah." He turned his head and looked at everyone. "I don't want to embarrass you. To be honest, I didn't plan to go out today. Miss Yue invited me warmly, so I couldn't refuse her. I didn't expect it to be such a farce."

"My Lord, you misunderstood..."

Bai Yimeng waved her hand to interrupt the eldest lady's words, "Don't worry, Madam. I have been feeling unwell these days, and His Majesty has compassionately sent two officers from the Imperial Guard to take care of me.

I didn’t mean to cause trouble to anyone, and I didn’t know this would happen today.”

"Your Highness, you are too polite. I am not worthy of the title of 'Sir'. Princess Luo fell into the water today. It was my fault. I will ask for punishment from Your Majesty when I return." Jin Heng knelt on one knee after saying this.

Bai Yimeng gave him a false support, "Master Jin, there is no need to be like this. In the hot summer, falling into the water can relieve heat and reduce noise, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Don't worry too much. This princess will not say much about this matter, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness." Jin Heng bowed again.

As they were talking, the gatekeeper passed on the message that Jingzhao Prefecture had received the notice and had come specially.

This matter naturally alarmed the Duke of Yue and the two generals. The three hurried over, and after a few pleasantries, the Duke of Yue spoke, "Did the princess come to me, the Duke of Yue, to complain about what happened a few months ago?

Last time, it was I who offended the princess. I already apologized to you then. What else do you want?

Bai Yimeng cupped his hands and said, "Does the Duke know about the banquet your precious granddaughter is hosting today?"

"Of course I know. Could it be that Wanyan neglected the princess?"

The old Duke was not confused at all at this moment, and Bai Yimeng saw that his thinking was particularly clear. It was obvious that he knew everything and was pretending to be stupid.

Not only did he bring up the previous conflict between the two governments, but he also tried to cover it up with his own "stupidity". In fact, Yue Wanyan's behavior was condoned by him.

"You are joking, Duke. Your Majesty handled the matter a few months ago properly. Could it be that you are dissatisfied? Otherwise, you would not have mentioned it again."

The last time Duke Yue wanted to make his granddaughter the Princess of Yuwen Ji, he was reprimanded by Emperor Chengde.

Duke Yue was naturally unwilling to accept this, and this mention seemed more like he hoped to induce Bai Yimeng to say something wrong.

Seeing that the Duke of Yue did not speak, Bai Yimeng pursed his lips and said, "I am not angry with anyone for this matter. I just feel that it is unfair for me to fall into the water innocently, and I want to find someone to talk to.

My brother is in the Ministry of War, so I can't make a big move, so I can only send someone to invite the Jingzhao Prefecture Shao Yin to come over for a chat. Do you think this matter is handled properly, Duke?"

"Greetings to Princess Sui'an." Su Beichen was quite perceptive. He saw that Bai Yimeng was setting the rules, so he gave her face and bowed.

Bai Yimeng also returned the greeting seriously, "Greetings, Master Su!"

After understanding the situation, Su Beichen lowered his voice and complained to her, "Xiao Bai, you want to kill me? There are so many princes and noble ladies in the yard, which one can I afford to offend?"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, and the eldest princess arrived.

This eldest princess, Yuwenxi, was the aunt of the Crown Prince, Prince of Qi, and Prince of Yi. She rushed over after receiving the notice from the Duke of Yue.
