The next day, a cool breeze blew and the fragrance of golden osmanthus filled the air.

Liu Yanyan woke up hugging the quilt, got up wrapped in the quilt, and felt sore all over. She touched the red mark on her neck and couldn't help blushing. She sighed, "Why is he like a hungry wolf? He doesn't know how to restrain himself."

She raised her delicate hand and pulled aside the bed curtain, and saw Yuzhu standing by the bed respectfully holding a ruby ​​nine-tailed phoenix crown. She said helplessly, "What's going on? Where did it come from? This thing is presumptuous! Put it away quickly! I can't wear it now."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Princess, this is what the prince asked Butler Zhou to bring this box to you early in the morning. He wanted to give you a surprise in the morning! To make you happy, look how beautiful it is!"

Liu Yanyan raised her hand and brushed across the ruby ​​on it, her eyes full of joy. Finally, she put her hand down reluctantly and said, "Put it away. This is not something I can wear now, and I must not let other people see it." With her current rank, she can only wear a six-tailed phoenix crown. This kind of thing can only be worn by the queen. She doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Yuzhu then put the phoenix crown into the rosewood box, looked at the princess and said, "Princess, which dress do you want to wear today?"

Liu Yanyan rubbed her swollen forehead and said, "If you are going to the government office today, you should wear official uniform. You can't wear colorful clothes! And add a brocade cape. After all, the weather is starting to get cooler."

Yuzhu asked in confusion, "Princess, aren't you taking a day off today? Why are you going to the government office? Is there something going on at the government office? And there aren't any servants asking to see you?"

Liu Yanyan then covered her forehead and said, "I was so busy that I lost track of time. Yesterday, I did take a day off today, so I'll just wear a lavender dress!"

Yuzhen replied respectfully, "Okay, Princess. I'll get it right away."

Liu Yanyan took the hot handkerchief handed to her by Yuzhu, gently washed her face with it, and then handed the handkerchief to her. Then she took the salt water handed to her by Yuye to rinse her mouth.

Just then, Yuzhen came over with a pink and purple dress and a light purple brocade shirt. "Princess, do you think this new dress is okay? It's light purple, with auspicious clouds and cranes all over it."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go with this one."

She then stood up and let Yuzhu and Yuzhen help her put on her dress. She looked at the auspicious clouds on her cuffs and nodded with satisfaction.

She put on a pair of pearl-embroidered shoes of the same color, then walked to the dressing table with satisfaction and sat down slowly. "Yuzhu, don't make your hairstyle too complicated, just something simple will do. I'm not going out today."

Yuzhu carefully used a wooden comb to make a fairy bun for the princess, picked up a lavender silk flower hairpin beside her and put it in her hair, and picked up a sapphire butterfly hairpin for the princess to wear. "Princess, do you think this is okay? Or should I change it to a blue velvet flower, or a pink silk flower?"

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "You don't have to change it! Yuzhu's hands are still so skillful. I can't even recognize that it's me in this bronze mirror."

"Princess, as long as you like it, please don't praise me, or I will get cocky!"

Yanyan smiled and joked, "Oh, can you also lift your tail? Lift your tail and show it to me!" As she said that, she was about to pull her clothes.

Yuzhu smiled and hid, "I don't have a tail, I was just joking."

Liu Yanyan laughed for a long time before she said, "Okay, I want to see how you can be cocky. Bring me a pair of pearl earrings. They will look great with it."

Yuzhu took a pair of earrings that were slightly smaller than Dongzhu's and carefully put them on the princess. She couldn't help but praise, "Princess, they look so good on you, like a beauty walking out of a painting." She also applied a light lip balm on the princess.

"You are just a chatterbox. How can I be as good as you say? I am your princess! In your heart, everything is good, right?"

Yuzhu immediately replied, "Princess, you are the best."

Yanyan smiled and raised her hand to touch her forehead. Looking at her stunned look, she chuckled, "Come back to your senses. Princess, I'm hungry."

Yuzhu then stood up and helped the princess out.

As soon as Liu Yanyan walked out of the door, she saw Xiao He standing at the door holding a bowl of medicine and bowing, "Your servant greets the princess."

Liu Yanyan felt sour in her heart, and she knew that it was not suitable to get pregnant now. She raised her hand to take the bowl of medicine from his hand, drank it in one gulp, and it was so bitter that tears came out. She ate the candied dates that Yuzhu fed her, and then she felt better. "Xiaohe, you can go back and report. I have finished the medicine." After saying that, she put the bowl of medicine in Xiaohe's hand.

Xiao He then retreated respectfully.

Liu Yanyan suppressed the strangeness in her heart, forced a bitter smile, and then slowly said, "Let's have breakfast!"

Yuzhu replied respectfully, "Princess Yuzhen has gone to the small kitchen and will be ready for dinner soon. However, this concubine He is waiting outside. Do you want to ask her to come in?"

Liu Yanyan smiled faintly and said, "Since Sister He is here early in the morning, let her come in and serve!"

Yuzhu retreated respectfully and said, "I will go and invite you right away."

Liu Yanyan looked at her retreating body, her face turned cold, and she thought to herself, "What a fool this Concubine He is. Why is she coming to greet me so early in the morning? Concubine Li and Concubine Li are both locked up, and she is the only one who has to come to see me. It's really a bummer."

Concubine He was wearing a pink dress with delicate bamboo embroidered on the hem. She walked over swayingly and bowed slowly, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Sister He, you came at the right time. It's time for dinner. My maids are all clumsy, so I'll have to trouble you to serve me dinner."

The handkerchief in Concubine He's hand was tightly held, but she still said softly, "It is my blessing to serve the princess."

At this time, several maids also respectfully placed the exquisite dishes on the table.

When Concubine He saw all these, and thought about the fact that she only had two or three dishes for a meal, and only one meat dish, she became so angry that she gritted her teeth and jealousy filled her chest. She could only lower her head, act respectful, and try her best to control her distorted expression.

Seeing her like this, Liu Yanyan pointed calmly at the chicken soup next to her.

Concubine He hurriedly stepped forward, picked up a spoon, scooped the chicken soup into a porcelain bowl, and placed it next to the princess. Her hands were burned and turned red, but she didn't dare to show it, and just clenched her hands.

Liu Yanyan pretended not to see it and chose the next dish, ordering her around. After they finished eating, she said calmly, "It's very well cooked. It's true that she was brought up by a maid. She has done her duty well."

Concubine He gritted her teeth in anger, but she didn't dare to refute. She said with a pitiful look, "Princess sister likes it. I will come to serve you tomorrow."

Liu Yanyan looked at her indifferently, and when she saw the corner of her clothes disappear at the door, she said coldly, "Don't bother me. I don't have time to be in the mansion every day. You just need to be well behaved in the mansion."

When Concubine He heard that she was restless, her nails dug into her flesh, leaving deep marks on her hands. "I obey your command. I will definitely behave myself!"

Liu Yanyan then waved her hand to let her go and watched her leave.
