Changxing Princess was being teased by Song Yi to the point of being out of breath, and upon hearing this, she angrily shouted without thinking: "Who dares to make a ruckus in front of me?!"

  Instead, she was met with a low cry from the eunuch guarding the door, followed by the door to the flower hall being kicked open - Jian Xu stood in white jade crown and finery, his face expressionless as he stood with his hands behind his back, asking in a light voice: "Chang Xing, what are you doing?"

  "Brother-in-law......" Princess Changxing didn't expect it to be him, and she was taken aback for a moment. Subconsciously, she asked, "How did you end up in the inner courtyard?"

  Jian Yu Bai should have come today, but he should also be in the front hall for a drink!

  She and Song Yixiao almost simultaneously thought of Wei Mengying, the former nearly didn't die from anger: I knew that this kind of greedy and noble woman is the most cunning! Moreover, Wei Mengying is both a princess and her elder, even if Changxing is a princess, she can't do anything to her without evidence.

  Song Yi Xiao secretly let out a sigh of relief: As long as she didn't drag Lu Guan Lun down with her, it was fine!

  Jian Yu Bai didn't respond to Princess Chang Xing's inquiry, instead, she looked up and down at Song Yi Xiao and slightly pursed her lips: "This disheveled appearance, why haven't you gone to tidy up yet?"

  "Yes!" Song Yi smiled with relief, having him take over the Longxing Princess. She bowed her head in gratitude and happily walked out - as for how this pair of cousins would get along, it was still up to Jian Yu to quickly soften his tone and coax his cousin, she didn't care about that.

  Just as he took a step forward, he was suddenly grabbed by Princess Changxing, who indignantly asked: "Is this the kind of thing you're interested in? No more than just a pretty face, what's so special about her that you, my brother, would fall for her?"

  Jian Yu's white sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his phoenix eyes flashed with a cold glint. His tone was stern: "Chang Xing, since you called me Brother-in-law, you should know that in this world, there is no reason for a sister-in-law to interfere with her brother-in-law's marriage!"

  "I've known my cousin since we were kids!" Zhang Xing was furious and laughed, "Now that my cousin has changed his mind, I'm helpless! But if my cousin wants to marry a heavenly fairy, I'll accept it! However, as for this Song girl, no matter how I look at her, I just can't see what's so great about her compared to me! How can you expect me to be willing?!"

  "Don't talk as if I've wronged you!" Jian Yu Bai questioned her mournful voice, but remained unmoved and calm, saying, "When I followed the army to battle at the age of eleven, I hadn't even reached the age of knowing love; since this year's imperial court, political affairs have been too busy, where is the time for romance? From start to finish, I've never flirted with you, you're being willful and reckless, don't drag me into it, if it gets out, I won't be able to explain myself to the Emperor's uncle and aunt!"

  Song Yi silently wiped away the blood from Changxing Princess's mouth: even if it was all true, it was enough to hurt people!

  Especially for someone who is a dignitary, they probably have never been humiliated like this in their entire life.

  Having such a brother who doesn't know how to cherish and pity is really Longxing Princess's fault.

  As expected, the originally majestic and proud golden branch and jade leaf was struck by lightning upon hearing this, tears falling like a broken string of pearls down her delicate porcelain-like skin: "You... you, you actually said I liked you, is being willful? Is nonsense?"

  Her words were filled with grief and incredulity, making Song Yi laugh a little sadly, but Jian Yu Bai was completely unmoved.

  "Just look at what you did to your cousin, saying you're being arbitrary is not wrong?" He even nodded as if it was a matter of course, "I'm busy, no time to indulge in these little girl's temper! This time I won't bother with you, next time don't blame me for not giving you face, I'll report to the Emperor and make you remember!"

  A warning gaze fell on Chang Xing's hand grasping Song Yi Xiao's, his voice turning cold, "Still not letting go? Do you want me to drag you away?!"

  Changxing Princess's eyes welled up with tears, and she stared back at him for a moment with a stubborn expression. The proud and arrogant young nobleman showed no signs of softening, and the cold intent in his phoenix-like eyes only grew stronger. Such a nonchalant and indifferent attitude made the pampered princess unable to bear it, and she roughly pushed Song Yixiao away, covered her face with her sleeve, and fled into the inner chamber behind the flower hall.

  Before long, a stifled wail was heard coming from inside!

  Looking at Jian Yu's indifferent expression, Song Yi smiled slightly and thought to herself, "You're still not taking it seriously? The young heart of Princess Changxing must have been shattered into pieces by now!"

  "Are you alright?" Jian Yu Bai didn't understand the emotions of the princess's younger sister, he even didn't allow the palace maid outside the door to come in and comfort the princess, he just raised his chin slightly towards Song Yi Xiao and asked.

  Song Yi smiled and suddenly came to her senses, realizing that he was referring to the arm that had been grasped by Princess Changxing earlier. She hastily turned around, with her back facing him, and pulled up her sleeve to examine it - on the snow-white skin, there were bruises and purple marks that looked frightening.

  But fortunately, there was a layer of silk clothing in between, and the princess had always been pampered in the deep palace, although she hadn't held back before, after all, she wasn't a martial artist, so her skin wasn't broken.

  "Thanks for your concern, nothing's wrong." Song Yi smiled and let out a sigh of relief, putting down her sleeves and bowing slightly.

  "Go and change." Jian Yu Bai gave her a faint glance, left these words behind, then turned around and left.

  Song Yixiao had long known that he didn't have any romantic feelings for her, so it was already quite righteous of him to come and help her out this time. Therefore, seeing him leave didn't make her feel particularly melancholic. She left the flower hall briskly, taking Jin Xun with her to pack up at the Baoxue Pavilion.

  Little did she know that after re-dressing, as soon as she came out of the courtyard, she saw Jian Yu standing under a willow tree not far away, with his sleeves rolled up.

  That weeping willow is already quite old, three to five people can encircle it with their arms, the countless hanging green silk ribbons, like a magnificent emerald waterfall.

  When the wind blows, the leaves turn over like waves, with a slightly pale celadon color, reflecting a sparkling light under the April sun.

  He wore a light blue collar shirt, a stone green crepe jacket, a sheep's fat jade crown, and an imperial gift gold belt. He stood under the tree with such carelessness and absent-mindedness, his face as bright as the moonlight, his eyebrows and eyes seemingly painted with thick ink, and his lip color was fresh red like blood.

  Just then, a gentle breeze swept through the courtyard, and countless willow branches swayed behind him. The sound of gurgling water flowed endlessly, like thousands of devoted attendants eagerly trying to touch or follow their elegant and refined master - Xian Yu Bai's ethereal and carefree demeanor made him seem almost unreal, yet it reminded one of those extraordinary spirits from the tales of strange happenings in the streets, who were said to be transformed from beautiful trees and flowers.

  Song Yi Xiao sincerely praised in her heart and smiled as she bowed: "Is there anything you'd like to instruct, Master?"

  "I heard that where you live in Wangfu is extremely quiet." Jian Xu Bai looked at her, his tone was a question, but his voice was very certain, "And few people come?"

  Song Yi smiled and didn't understand what he meant by asking this, so she asked cautiously: "What do you mean?"

  "Take me away quietly, don't let anyone see!" Song Yi was taken aback by Jian Yu's calm and bland tone.

  But she quickly turned her head to order Jin Xun, who was staring blankly: "You go to the seat and help me explain to Fourth Miss and Sixth Miss. Just say that my spare clothes here have been hooked on a thread, so I'll have to go back to Huanxia Pavilion to tidy up. I'm afraid of delaying the princess's place, please ask them for help!"

  The key point is, "Remember to let others hear when reporting!"

  If it's not explained clearly, someone with a heart might compare the time she left with Jian Yu Bai and come up with some rumors. Although they are already engaged, before the wedding ceremony, being too close is not a good reputation.

  After all, even Princess Changguo wouldn't admit that she had deliberately seduced the Marquis of Fuyang before her downfall.

  Song Yixiao said that without a backing, he would even less dare to make fun of his own reputation.

  After handing over the task of cleaning up to Jin Xun, she nodded to Jian Xu Bai to follow her - in fact, she hadn't been to this area around Zheng Tang much either.

  Fortunately, today's banquet attracted everyone's attention, and people were either busy or went to watch the excitement. So in the middle of it, although she took a wrong turn several times, dodging and hiding along the way, she managed to bring Jian Yu Bai to Huan Xia Xiao Zhu without bumping into anyone.

  Just entering the door and scaring Zhao's mother and others half to death!

  "Miss, who is this...?" Zhao's mother asked, but she had already guessed - didn't she know her own child? Song Yi smiled most cautiously, now that she was engaged to Yan Guo Gong, it was absolutely impossible for her to be with another man.

  It was just that Song Yi Xiao didn't expect her guess to be confirmed, and Jian Xu Bai, who had been calm when entering the room, suddenly closed his eyes and fell silently to the ground!

  "Heavens!" Zhao's mother exclaimed, grabbing Song Yiliao's hand in shock, "What's going on?!"

  Song Yi Xiao was also frightened, staring wide-eyed as Jian Yu Bai fell onto the blue bricks. Only then did she stammer out in a panicked tone: "He asked me to bring him here because it's secluded and no one comes over... perhaps he's injured or ill and doesn't want anyone to know?"

  The top priority is "to settle him down first!"

  So the question is - in this small building of Huanxia, there was only one master, Song Yixiao. It wasn't until Wei Chan arrived that a guest room was set up, and the other rooms were either empty or occupied by servants.

  As a humble and low-ranking eunuch, and considering his relationship with Song Yixiao, there was no other suitable place to settle him except for Song Yixiao's bedroom.

  Song Yixiao had Zhao's mother call for help, and a group of women finally managed to get Jian Yu Bai upstairs with great difficulty.

  After all, this man was not fat, but he was a tall and thin man. At this time, the stairs of the embroidered building were very narrow, so in order to avoid bumping into him, the people carrying him had to be extremely careful.

  Finally, he was put on Song Yixiao's embroidered couch, and everyone was exhausted and panting.

  "Come down with me!" Zhao's mother didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and hurriedly called all the people downstairs to scold them, so as not to cause trouble for Song Yixiao.

  Song Yixiao, who was left on the floor, couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and quickly tried to check Jian Yu's breathing. Feeling that he shouldn't have suddenly stopped breathing, she finally put down her hanging heart - only to be extremely puzzled in her mind. In the rumors she heard from her previous life, this person was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, and Emperor Xian also liked him very much. It could be said that he had a smooth sailing career in both the imperial court and the harem, otherwise, he wouldn't have been regarded as the number one ideal husband by all the young ladies!

  "But whether it's an illness or an injury, he would faint and not dare to let anyone know..." Song Yi smiled as she gazed at her fiancé, who was frowning slightly on the couch, feeling that their future prospects were uncertain, "No matter how you look at it, it seems unrelated to the rise of wind and water!"

  She didn't worry for long, when Zhao's mother came up in a hurry, holding a porcelain bottle and a jade box, with a serious expression: "Just then, Cui Quan came over and said that Jian Gong Ye was unwell, now it's not good to spread the word outside, so the servants he brought can only help cover up on the front hall side, they can't come over! Can only find a way to send the medicine over, let us hurry to serve Gong Ye!"

  Song Yi Xiao took over the porcelain bottle and jade box while asking: "Do you know if he's injured or ill? Why can't anyone be told?"
