Resourceful beauty

Chapter 109
"Is Princess Xuanyi safe and sound?"

After two days of not seeing each other, when Fang met, Qiu Shumin greeted Fang Ruxuan with concern.

With a twitch in her heart, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but secretly speculate whether the incident of someone sneaking up on her that day was arranged by the smiling woman in front of her.

If Fang Ruxuan was still the old Fang Ruxuan, she would definitely deny it with a smile. After all, Qiu Shumin at this moment is not yet 13 years old.But after experiencing what happened in her previous life, Fang Ruxuan naturally knew how cruel Qiu Shumin was.

A girl who, at the age of seven or eight, sent someone to push her concubine into the cold lake in secret because she got what she wanted but didn't get, causing the other party to almost lose half her life. Can you expect her to slowly recover? Grow up and get better and better?
Seeing that Fang Ruxuan didn't answer, Qiu Shumin suddenly realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, as if trying to cover it up, she sneered and said, "Even the Holy Majesty praised King Qi and Prince Qi's son a lot. The princess is fine, since she arrived at the palace, she has been sleeping in the tent every day, she really behaves like a lady from a famous family."

It sounded like a compliment, but secretly satirized Fang Ruxuan for losing the face of Prince Qi's mansion. Fang Ruxuan cast a sideways glance at Qiu Shumin and was about to speak, when Fang Zhengjun's indiscriminate voice came from behind, "Miss Qiu speak carefully. There are different identities, I also hope that Miss Qiu will always remember her identity, Xiang Xiang is respected by the Holy One, which is what he deserves for devoting himself to Da Yuan, but this does not mean that Miss Qiu can also be superior and trample others under their feet."

While speaking, Fang Zhengjun had already walked to Fang Ruxuan's side.

He was dressed in dark black clothes, his hair was tied up high, and a two-finger-wide sapphire blue band was tied on his forehead. Even standing beside Bai Zixuan and the others, Fang Zhengjun did not lose his color in the slightest.

He was holding a small cage in his hand. Inside the cage was a pair of little brown squirrels, each holding a pine cone. But at this moment, the two little squirrels looked at the people around them timidly. I forgot to gnaw on it, that stupid little appearance is really pleasing.

Handing the cage to Fang Ruxuan, Fang Zhengjun didn't look at Qiu Shumin again, and said to Fang Ruxuan in a soft voice, "I caught it yesterday, but it was too late so I didn't send it to you. Do you like it?"

First, Song Qian sent a naive little tiger, and at this moment, another brother sent a pair of lively and cute little squirrels. For a while, the girls around looked at Fang Ruxuan enviously, a little He even pouted unhappily, complaining in his heart that his brother was far behind Fang Zhengjun.

Even the sixteenth princess gave Bai Zixuan a resentful look, while taking advantage of people not paying attention, she reached out and pinched the soft flesh in Bai Zixuan's waist.

"I don't care about you, you take care of yourself, understand?"

Obviously already knew about Fang Ruxuan's attack, Fang Zhengjun blamed himself a little.

Fang Ruxuan took the cage with one hand, shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm very happy with the princess. Besides, there's the little pet my brother gave me."

Fang Zhengjun patted Fang Ruxuan's head dotingly, turned around and called a guard, pointed at him and said to Fang Ruxuan, "His name is Shi Zhu, he is a little brother I met in Northwest Daying, these few days, you If there is anything, tell him to do it. If I have something, I will let him come to you."

The implication is that if someone else comes, Fang Ruxuan will not believe it.

If it wasn't for the fear that Concubine Yun's mother and son would be in danger in the mansion, Fang Ruxuan would definitely bring kapok with her when she came to the palace. If that was the case, how could she follow the advice of others?
Nodding to say I got it, Fang Ruxuan waved at Fang Zhengjun, "Go quickly, don't delay the escort."

Watching Fang Zhengjun turn around and stride away, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and took Princess Sixteen's arm affectionately and said, "I'll share one of these two little squirrels with the princess, okay?"

Princess Sixteen shook her head, but her eyes were fixed on Bai Zixuan, Bai Zixuan shook his head and laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched Princess Sixteen's face, "Don't worry, I will risk my life today, and I will find some fun things for you , how are you?"

After finishing speaking, Bai Zixuan turned around and left.

All afternoon, Princess Sixteen pestered Fang Ruxuan obsessively to prevent her from going out, and even said softly and coquettishly, "You know I can't ride a horse, so how can you bear to leave me alone like this?"

Knowing that she was afraid that she would have another accident, Fang Ruxuan was very appreciative of why she was afraid that she would have another accident. Although the temptation of riding a horse was great, she still endured it for her own safety.

"Do you know where Mr. Chu lives? Go to him and see how his injury is doing."

Following Bai Zixuan's instructions, Fang Ruxuan did not tell others what happened that day. In the past two days, even though she was extremely worried about Chu Yuan, Fang Ruxuan still did nothing.Now that everyone in the camp has gone to the hunting ground, Fang Ruxuan summons Ding Xiang and asks her to find Chu Yuan.

Ding Xiang walked away, Princess Sixteen winked at Fang Ruxuan and said, "Unexpectedly, the hero saved the beauty, but let him meet him. Tell me, is it really such a coincidence?"

Song Qian went to find Fang Ruxuan on purpose, but unexpectedly, he was one step behind Chu Yuan. If Chu Yuan met Fang Ruxuan and was attacked by chance, no one would believe it.

Moreover, no one else knew, but Fang Ruxuan remembered that Mu Mian once said that Chu Yuan knew martial arts, and his skills were better than hers.

However, Fang Ruxuan could probably guess what happened that day: If Song Qian hadn't appeared, Chu Yuan must have been able to save herself and avoid the arrow.

In other words, Chu Yuan didn't want others to know that he knew martial arts.

All the people who came to the palace to escape the heat were in a good mood. They had caught a lot of prey within a few days, and the inside of the palace was cool and pleasant, and there were not so many restraints in the capital. No matter men, women or children, they were very happy.

Only Fang Ruxuan, while worrying about her father who went to Wanzhou to inspect the flood, also worried about Chu Yuan's injury, and was always on guard against the man behind the scenes who killed her, and there were other tricks, so her daily life was not so easy.

In a blink of an eye, it was July [-]th, the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Ghosts and gods were to be sacrificed on the Ghost Festival, and the daytime hunting had ended early. In the evening, a banquet was set up in the spacious courtyard of the Jingning Palace.

At the beginning of the banquet, Emperor Rui'an rewarded the hunters who had performed outstandingly in the past few days, and the first one was Prince Qi's son Fang Zhengjun.

Fang Ruxuan didn't care about whether her elder brother could get the approval of the Holy Majesty, as long as there were no mistakes in the days when he accompanied her, and when she thought of the lively and lovely little squirrels and little hares in the side hall of Changyin Pavilion, Fang Ruxuan felt that it was worth it to come to the palace this time.

While thinking wildly, she heard congratulatory voices in her ears. Fang Ruxuan came back to her senses, and everyone around them raised their wine glasses to toast Emperor Rui'an, and Fang Ruxuan hurriedly took up her own wine glasses.

It is sweet and soft in the mouth, like fruit wine, which was often drunk at palace banquets in the past.

Fang Ruxuan raised her eyes and saw that the sixteenth princess had already secretly drank several cups, her little face was flushed, and Bai Zixuan beside her shook her head and smiled with a helpless expression on her face.

There was a soft sound, something fell between the skirts, Fang Ruxuan turned her head, and saw a little palace maid trembling and kneeling beside her, calling softly "Princess, please forgive me".

The skirt has been stained with light pink wine stains, and the lid of the flagon jug is still spinning.

Looking back, the people around were either whispering to each other or listening to the Empress, no one noticed her here, Fang Ruxuan waved her hand, picked up the pot lid and handed it to her, got up and took Lilac back to Changyin Pavilion to change clothes.

Behind him was Qiu Shumin's complacent expression with his head bowed and a slight smile.

The two people who attacked Fang Ruxuan in the woods, one died and the other was injured, and the one who escaped escaped from the hunting ground without even showing his face, for fear of being punished by Qiu Shumin and doing things badly.

Although she secretly cursed those two people as idiots, fortunately, the injured person didn't come back to his life wisely, avoiding the suspicion of exposing herself and even the Qiu family, Qiu Shumin felt a little at ease.

However, after seeing Song Qian frequently go looking for Fang Ruxuan in the past few days, Qiu Shumin's depression that had been accumulated with great difficulty came to mind again.

She didn't believe that Fang Ruxuan could always be so lucky to avoid her backstabbing.

From Jingning Palace to Changyin Pavilion, you must pass through the rippling Lianyi Lake. In midsummer, the white or pink lotus flowers on the lake exude a faint fragrance. Occasionally, the sound of frogs and cicadas will make the surroundings even more silent.

In the silence, the cries for help from across the lake became more clearly audible.

Glancing back at Ding Xiang, the master and servant smiled at each other, turned around the Jiuqu Corridor, and headed towards the direction where the voice came from.

A woman in pink clothes fell into the water. When Fang Ruxuan arrived, several servants and maidservants had already arrived.

Everyone rescued the woman ashore, but no one knew her, but Fang Ruxuan exclaimed, "Taoye?"

Although it was a summer night, she had been in the lake in shock and fright for a long time. At this moment, Taoye was still trembling with her arms folded. When she heard someone calling her, Taoye looked up and recognized Fang Ruxuan after a while, "I have seen you Princess Xuanyi."

Kneeling down and kowtowing to Fang Ruxuan, Taoye's teeth chattered.

Thinking that she was going back to change clothes, Fang Ruxuan said softly to Tao Ye: "Come with me to Changyin Pavilion to change clothes, be careful that you will catch a cold in a while."

Several servants beside him who had saved the person saw that someone was dealing with the aftermath, kowtowed their heads and then dispersed. Taoye stood up, followed Ding Xiang with her head down, and went all the way back to Changyin Pavilion.

"Aren't you the servant girl next to Aunt Lan? Why did you follow me to the palace?"

Fang Ruxuan turned around and asked Taoye.

If this is Qiu Shumin's trap, Fang Ruxuan has no choice but to admire her, she can even find out and use her to take care of Taoye so carefully.

Fang Ruxuan naturally didn't notice Taoye's sad expression for a moment, but her next sentence made Fang Ruxuan's heart rise immediately.

Tao Ye said: "The servant girl has been transferred to Hexiang Garden to serve the lady, and now she is not in Wutong Garden."

Serving by Qiu Shumin's side, with her moody mood, Taoye has suffered a lot of grievances, and the matter of Taoye falling into the water just now, maybe Qiu Shumin did it on purpose, right?
Fang Ruxuan originally planned to teach Qiu Shumin a lesson, but she suddenly hardened her heart.

　Someone is going to be unlucky, ho ho~~~
