Yao Guang was helped up by Ying Zhuoxiu, and her face immediately turned red and her eyes widened.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Her heart screamed like a tsunami.

On one hand, there was the image of Ying Zhuoxiu swallowing a poisonous snake, and on the other hand, there was the image of a gentle and refined young man.

Yao Guang felt a strong sense of unease, and finally couldn't help but scream, "Fu'er! Help me!!!"

Ying Zhuoxiu: "?"

Is he really that scary?

Ying Yufu was struggling to suppress her laughter, but still had a sense of loyalty, so she quickly stepped forward and pulled Yaoguang to her side, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, Yaoyao, your brother isn't scary at all!"

Ying Yufu offered comfort.

Yao Guang's face flushed red and then paled, and she couldn't help but steal glances at Ying Zhuoxiu.

He's bad at games but loves to play.

Everyone burst into laughter.

The youngest granddaughter of the Duke of Changle's mansion and the daughter of the Marquis of Anding's mansion were laughing at Yao Guang. Yao Guang glared at them angrily: "Wu Ziyue, Lin Shuqi, what are you two laughing at?"

Two girls, one in blue and one in pink, stood there gracefully, covering their mouths and shaking their heads. "No, Yaoguang, we weren't laughing at you!"

This is utterly a case of protesting too much.

"Wu Ziyue! Lin Shuqi!"

Yao Guang's face flushed with shame and indignation, it was practically burning with rage.

She really embarrassed herself today.

Wu Ziyue and Lin Shuqi tried hard to hold back their laughter, but they were also feeling uncomfortable.

The crown prince, watching with keen interest, watched intently, his eyes gleaming with gossip.

The second prince had a gloomy face.

The third and fourth princes looked at this and that, their expressions restrained.

Feng Yuheng, being rather unkind, burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I've never seen Yaoguang so afraid of anyone before. Brother Zhuo Xiu, you're really amazing!"

He was flamboyant and unrestrained, incredibly arrogant.

Yao Guang couldn't do anything to others, but she could handle her own brother. She immediately gave him a sinister look and said, "Feng Yuheng! Take this!"

Feng Yuheng fled in terror, begging for mercy repeatedly.

"Yaoguang, I was wrong, Yaoguang, please forgive me!"

On the other side, Shangguan Tang and Grand Princess Huaxi passed by the waterside pavilion and saw the scene from afar. The two of them couldn't help but laugh.

"These two kids are making a ruckus again," Hua Xi said, shaking her head helplessly.

"It's good to be a little rowdy. Who doesn't have a rowdy time when they're young? We were quite rowdy back then too," Shangguan Tang said, then laughed.

Princess Huaxi couldn't help but look nostalgic, "Yes, it was you and me who were making a big fuss back then, and Sister Qiongzhang watched us make a scene."

She was a few years older than us, and she truly resembled a gentle older sister, with an outstanding demeanor and a calm, composed presence.

My elder brother was fortunate to marry her, but unfortunately, he wasn't fortunate enough to keep her.

Shangguan Tang said, "Fortunately, the Crown Prince and Princess Minghuang have both grown up, but Princess Minghuang..."

"Because of her disfigurement, Minghuang never appears in public or participates in any banquets. Even if we were to find her a husband, she would refuse."

"Sigh, I even gave her a few male concubines last month, but she didn't want them."

Shangguan Tang's lips twitched, and she looked at Hua Xi speechlessly, "You sent male concubines to Princess Minghuang?"

Hua Xi nodded: "She's so young, living in the princess's residence and rarely going out. I'm worried she might get sick from being cooped up like this."

Shangguan Tang sighed.

She tried to invite Minghuang this time as well, but unsurprisingly, she refused.

Shangguan Tang thought of something else, looked at Jiang Shi in front of him, and a sudden flash of inspiration appeared in his eyes.

"Hua Xi, Fu'er has some opportunities. She even gave me a pregnancy pill to give to Madam Hai. As for Ming Huang's face... I'll ask Fu'er privately if she has any magic medicine to cure it later."

If it can be cured…

Hua Xi grabbed Shangguan Tang's hand. "How come I didn't expect that Fu'er could even cure Yuheng's legs? Maybe she really can cure Minghuang's face too."

The two looked at each other, and hope ignited in their eyes.

"Don't tell Minghuang yet, lest she be disappointed if things don't go well. Let me ask Fu'er first," Shangguan Tang said.

Hua Xi also expressed his agreement.

"Lady Saint Grace, Grand Princess Huaxi." The two ladies of the Hai family stood not far away, waiting for them.

Shangguan Tang smiled and said, "Princess Huaxi and I were just watching those children playing around; it was quite a lively scene."

Jiang said, "My daughter Mu Jin has been rather introverted since she was little, and she rarely goes out to play with girls her own age. This time, she's come out to broaden her horizons."

Madam Ye also said, "That's right, Jin'er should have gone out more often. Look at my girl, she's having a blast right now."

Not far away, three little ones, about seven or eight years old, were playing together.

Liao Kong, looking utterly hopeless, was pulled along to play by two or three little girls.

Shangguan Tang glanced at it a few times and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When everyone saw her smile, they looked over and couldn't help but smile too.

After laughing, Jiang sighed, "Jin'er was quite lively when she was little. I am responsible for her becoming so introverted and not fond of playing."

From a young age, because I was unable to have a second child, I was always worried. Mu Jin was precocious and overly sensible, so I became even more reserved.

Jiang touched her belly.

Ye looked at her with a helpless expression. "Sister-in-law, you can't worry about this kind of thing. Mu Jin has several cousins, and they all get along very well."

At this moment, Shangguan Tang took out the fertility pill from her bosom. "Madam Hai, you gave me a very valuable gift last time, and I was thinking about how to repay you."

"If you trust me, I have a pill here. After taking it, when you have intercourse, your chances of getting pregnant will be higher."

Shangguan Tang's statement was rather conservative.

Jiang stared blankly at the medicine bottle in Shangguan Tang's hand, a bitter smile on her lips.

Over the years, she has taken countless medications.

She was almost in despair.

Princess Huaxi then said, "My Yuheng injured his leg a while ago, and even the imperial physician said there was no cure. But now, thanks to Fu'er's treatment, he's lively and energetic again."

Since this medicine has no harmful effects, Madam Hai might as well give it a try.

A faint glimmer of hope suddenly arose in Jiang's numb heart.

Madam Ye added, "Sister-in-law, both Grand Duke Huaxi and Lady Sheng'en said this is a good medicine. Why don't you give it a try? You never know, it might work!"

"Madam Saint Grace, thank you. I'll eat it when I get back, and then... then I'll try it."

Jiang took the medicine bottle.

Just then, they suddenly heard a maid scream from the other side of the waterside pavilion.

"Help! Help! The princess has fallen into the water!"

Shangguan Tang and the others were all startled and quickly looked over there. They saw a group of people gathered on the lakeside, and one after another, people jumped into the water.

"Fell into the water? Which princess fell into the water?"

Shangguan Tang turned and ran in that direction.

Hua Xi was a little confused: "Judging from that cry, it sounds like Yao Guang's maid, Shuang'er. Could it be that Yao Guang fell into the water?"

Realizing what was happening, she panicked.

Jiang and Ye's expressions changed, and they hurriedly followed suit, rushing towards that direction.

They had only taken a few steps when they heard someone shout again, "Oh no! Miss has fallen into the water!"

Jiang's vision went black. That voice... that voice belonged to Zijing, her maid Jin'er.
