"Auntie, do you want to leave? Has the ceremony of hair extensions not started yet?"

"Bah!" The golden whip in An Xiaoman's hand boomed in the air, and he called out to Aunt Zhang who was retreating to the edge of the crowd.

"Ah! Miss An, please forgive me!" Aunt Zhang screamed, but An Xiaoman paid no attention to it. The wind was blowing under her feet, and the golden whip in her hand was dancing vigorously. In an instant, Aunt Zhang received more than a dozen blows on her body.

Whip, I have no choice but to run away with my head in my arms.

"Okay, Xiaoman!" Qiu Liyue said after watching the show for a long time. She knew that this time, Aunt Zhang was dead. After returning, the good-looking Qiu Jinshan would not let her go. In this case, she

Why not give me a favor?

"You are just too soft-hearted. Look how they bully you. They are really your good concubine and your good sister." An Xiaoman put away the golden whip, glanced at Qiu Liyue and said, "Let's go

Come on, come with me to change clothes."

"The same goes for Mrs. Qiu. Why did you send such a shameless concubine here? It's really embarrassing." A lady glanced at Aunt Zhang, who was in disheveled clothes, with disdain.

"You are so cruel, you actually want to murder your legitimate daughter." A lady echoed.

"Look at the second young lady of the Qiu family, her conduct is really bad. We should stay away from her in the future. She even framed her compatriot's sister. She might also frame us one day."

…

The gossips of the wealthy ladies made Qiu Lixing want to crawl into a hole in the ground.

"Liyue, wait for me, I have something good for you." When he walked to a rockery by the lake, An Xiaoman suddenly winked at Qiu Liyue mysteriously, "Stand still, don't move!"

An Xiaoman said and walked towards the rockery. He pushed aside the vines hanging down from the rockery and revealed a cave entrance that was as tall as a person. It turned out that there was a stone cave hidden in the rockery.

"What is Miss Liyue doing here?"

Qiu Liyue turned around and saw that the third prince Nalancan came behind her at some point, looking at her with a pair of searching eyes. Although his eyes were full of a smile, the smile was not deep.

fundus.

"What is the third prince doing here again?" Qiu Liyue did not shy away from Nalancan's gaze.

"Oh!" Nalancan took another step forward, approached Qiu Liyue and whispered, "Your two maids have confessed that you deliberately dragged them into the water. I wonder what Miss Liyue has to say?"

Qiu Liyue blinked and looked at Nalancan, confused and said, "Explanation? Someone else has a mouth, so naturally he can say whatever he wants."

Nalancan's smile remained unchanged, but his voice became lower, "Then what is your purpose? To attract my father's attention?"

Qiu Liyue smiled and said nothing.

Nalancan immediately showed a clear smile, "Oh, so you want to enter the palace? It seems that your goal has been achieved, but now it seems that the fire is not enough, and there is still a fire left. I wonder what will happen to Miss Liyue next?"

For a moment, Qiu Liyue was a little stunned. Looking at Nalancan's smiling eyes, she really wanted to say to him, "Don't you think too much!" Just thinking of the emperor's eyes when he looked at her, she couldn't help but feel confused. After all,

What is this for? Who is he looking at through himself?

Nalancan looked at the woman whose expression changed slightly in front of him, thinking that he had spoken to her heart, and said in a gentler tone, "If Miss Liyue needs it, I will be willing to do it for you..."

"Third brother, why did you come here!" Nalan Xuan's loud voice sounded.

I saw several noble gentlemen and young ladies coming together on the white stone path by the lake. However, when they saw Nalancan and Qiu Liyue together, the eyes of the young ladies darkened.

Nalancan waited for these people to come forward with a smile on his face, and then said kindly, "What are you doing?"

"We came here specially to find you. There is an archery competition in the front hall, and we just need you to show off your skills."

"Yes, third prince, the eldest master Ning is very proud now!"

The young masters who came over described the shooting scene in the front hall to Nalan Can. Nalan Can listened with a smile in his eyes and said, "Let's go and see Ning Haobu's arrows."

Technique."

A woman in the group who was always smiling deliberately fell behind the crowd, approached Qiu Liyue and whispered, "Miss Qiu, you can't be greedy. Since you have fallen in love with the emperor, don't seduce the fourth prince again!"

After saying that, the woman smiled slightly and said, "There is a shadow puppet show in the flower hall, Miss Qiu, can you go and see it?" Then, without waiting for Qiu Liyue's answer, she quickly continued, "It would be a pity not to go.

Okay, I'll take the first step."

An Xiaoman walked out of the cave carrying a bamboo basket and followed Qiu Liyue's gaze, "What? Is she causing trouble for you?"

"No, who is she?"

"Ning Luoge, the daughter of the Minister of War, is a loyal admirer of my fourth cousin. It's a pity that my fourth cousin only loves horses and not beauties." An Xiaoman said, putting the basket in his hand in front of Qiu Liyue.

, "Look, what is this?"

There are mouth-watering red and translucent cherries on a green leaf in the bamboo basket. It's only March, don't cherries only mature in May?

Seeing Qiu Liyue's surprised expression, An Xiaoman smiled with satisfaction, "You didn't know, right? There is a hot spring on Baiyu Mountain in the west of the city. The Queen's Aunt ordered some fruits to be planted next to the hot spring. These fruits are generally better than those outside.

Mature earlier."

The three words "Bai Yushan" instantly made Qiu Liyue fall into the ice cellar. She twitched her lips to hide her emotions, "I only know Baiyu Temple."

"Oh, the Baiyu Villa where the hot spring is located is not very far from Baiyu Temple. When you are free that day, I will take you to the hot spring. Hey, this is for you. Take it with you when you leave. I'm afraid something will happen later.

I forgot again." An Xiaoman said and handed the bamboo basket to Zijin who was standing aside.

There were indeed a lot of things going on that day. An Xiaoman had to involve Qiu Liyue in everything. By the time Qiu Liyue returned home, it was already the top of the willow tree above the moon.

After returning to Tingyuxuan, Qiu Liyue took out a red brocade box from under the table, looked at the red bracelet in her hand, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the morning.

Ye Liuyun suddenly came to Tingyuxuan and told her that she wanted to ask for something. He wanted to exchange a pair of red beeswax bracelets for the carnelian bracelets she got from Cuiyuxuan. He thought of the first day she moved into Tingyuxuan,

She agreed to the meal he sent, and she considered it as a return of his favor.

But at this moment, she heard Qiu Lixing shouting outside the door, and Ye Liuyun immediately floated away. In her hurry, she didn't take the carnelian bracelet with her. So, she hid it under the table.

I was going to give it to him when he came back, but the brocade box Qiu Lixing saw when he came in was left by Ye Liuyun.
