Just when Min Yucheng was thinking wildly and thought that Xianxian was unwilling to accept his gift.

Xianxian actually took the brocade box directly and opened it on the spot. Inside was a jade hairpin with a butterfly pattern that was very delicate and beautiful.

When you hold the wings of a rain butterfly with your fingertips, it will actually tremble slightly.

Xianxian took the jade hairpin and compared it with her hair, then smiled shyly at Min Yucheng and said, "Thank you, Second Prince."

The little boy is really thoughtful. The gifts he gave are exquisite and beautiful, and they also include little surprises.

Looking at the delicate little face without any trace of gloom, Min Yucheng finally couldn't help but ask.

"Why didn't Empress Zhao keep my father? I was having dinner in my mother's palace just now, and I heard that my father was originally in Luanyue Palace to accompany you."

Xianxian paused with a slightly sad smile and said, "Your Majesty, you can go wherever you want. If I hadn't had no choice, why would I..."

The rest of the words were stopped in time. Xianxian came back to her senses and smiled at Min Yucheng, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness the Second Prince. I am just one of your many concubines. What's more, the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month belong to the Queen Concubine Quan. I don't want to embarrass the Queen."

She looked at Min Yucheng with affectionate eyes, which made Min Yucheng feel that Xianxian was afraid of putting him in a difficult position. Because of her existence, she seemed to respect Concubine Quan especially.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but there was a slight blush on Min Yucheng’s fair face, and he spoke softly to Xianxian.

"Please be at ease, Empress Zhao. Father will surely see the good in you."

Xianxian accidentally caught a glimpse of the white and grabbed Min Yucheng's sleeve.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with your hand?"

He raised his bandaged hand, still with a gentle and warm smile on his face.

"It's okay. I just accidentally spilled some chicken soup during the meal. Mother has asked the imperial physician to check and bandage it. There's no need to worry."

Facing Xianxian's caring gaze, Min Yucheng felt sweet in his heart, especially when he saw her pulling his sleeve.

I wish she could keep holding on to herself. This robe cannot be washed. She needs to put it away when she gets home and put it together with the silk handkerchief.

Xianxian gently warned, "Then the Second Prince must be careful not to get wet. Take good care of yourself these days and don't leave ugly scars on your flawless white jade skin."

It would be a shame if such a flawless person were to be left with scars.

Min Yucheng nodded happily, "Thank you for your concern, Madam Zhao. I understand."

After the two separated, Min Yucheng turned around and happily headed out of the palace, but on the way he accidentally saw two people arguing.

Even though the sound of their quarrel was suppressed, Min Yucheng still heard a few familiar names.

"Xilinchun, do you know what you have done? Uncle He is already dead, and you are still trying to persuade Yier to become your majesty's concubine. You are simply pushing her into the fire pit!"

Xilinchun said a little sadly, "Do you think I pushed her into the fire pit? But I see that He Nianyi is very happy. Now she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and everyone who sees her will not call her "Madam"?"

"Everything I did was for you. Who knows if His Majesty will hold you accountable? If He Nianyi becomes the emperor's concubine, then as long as she pleases the emperor, maybe she can save Uncle He and your life."

Looking at Xilinchun's aggrieved appearance, An Yixue felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness.

When did you need a woman to sacrifice herself to protect you?

He grabbed Xilinchun's shoulders and said angrily, "Uncle He is dead. Did you know about this a long time ago?"

Xilinchun faced An Yixue's questioning with an indescribable stubbornness on his face.

"Yes, I knew it a long time ago, but I didn't tell her. Otherwise, how could she still be at ease as the high and mighty Zhaopin?"

Min Yucheng on the side frowned slightly. He never thought that the two of them actually knew Xianxian, and there were many stories between them.

Min Yucheng hid himself and continued to listen, but his eyes were colder than ever before.

At this time, An Yixue let go of Xilinchun and said in a daze, "It was us who harmed Yier, it was me who harmed Uncle He. If it weren't for me, Uncle He wouldn't have entered the palace to perform, and Concubine Xiang and Brother Li wouldn't have had an affair."

"Uncle He will not die, Yi'er will not be favored by the emperor, and you will not persuade Yi'er to commit herself to the emperor!"

Seeing that An Yixue took all the responsibilities on himself, Xilinchun shook his head and rushed over to hug his waist.

"No, that's not the case. Don't blame yourself too much. Who would have thought that Xiangpin was so undisciplined that she would have an affair with someone else?"

"Besides, He Nianyi is living a good life now. His Majesty holds her in the palm of his hand and dotes on her. There is no need for us to blame ourselves too much."

An Yixue pulled Xilinchun's hand down forcefully, then pushed her away angrily.

"How is it not our fault? Yi'er originally loved me. If it weren't for your initiative, how could she have become one of His Majesty's many beauties?"

Thinking of Xianxian's face that was like the bright moon, An Yixue felt a surge of unwillingness in her heart for some reason.

As a woman herself, Xilinchun naturally knew that there was something wrong with An Yixue's eyes. An Yixue had been hanging around Zhaopin these days.

Perhaps it was because he was paying more and more attention to Concubine Zhao that he began to have some inappropriate thoughts.

"An Yixue, are you in love with Zhaopin?"

This question made An Yixue look away in panic, and Xilinchun clenched his teeth unwillingly.

Originally, the relationship between the two was on a rise, but because of Xianxian's existence, they had a disagreement, which complicated An Yixue's feelings for Xilinchun.

The original body died quickly in the plot. An Yixue didn't know that it was Xilinchun who instigated the original body to climb onto the dragon bed. She just thought it was the original body's voluntary choice.

It was naturally impossible for Xilinchun to tell An Yixue in person that it was she who caused the original body to die early. The two of them just got together happily without the estrangement like they have now.

"You think too much. I only have a brotherly and sisterly relationship with Yi'er. It's not as dirty as you think."

An Yixue chose to flee directly, leaving Xilinchun alone and heartbroken.

Finally, Xilinchun wiped away her tears and left.

Min Yucheng watched the whole farce and waited until the two left before he slowly walked out from the darkness.

He murmured, not knowing what he was thinking of, "So it turns out that I had no choice."

No wonder she only said it once and stopped.

Xianxian sent people to keep an eye on the two of them. Although she was not as close as Min Yucheng and could hear the entire quarrel between the two, Xianxian still found out that Xilinchun and An Yixue had quarreled.

Three days later, Xianxian paid special attention to Xilinchun's movements, and then blocked Xilinchun on the palace road.

She is now a third-rank maid in the Imperial Concubine's palace, and she looks pretty good after a little dressing up.

But Xianxian called her and made her kneel on the ground in a arrogant manner.

Xilinchun knelt on the ground with an indignant look on her face and said, "Madam Zhaopin, did this servant do anything wrong?"

Xianxian stared at her face and snorted coldly, "I am the master, and you are just a maid. Does the master need an excuse to punish the servant?"

"I am a third-class maid in Yikun Palace."

What she meant was that she was using Concubine Quan to put pressure on Xianxian, but could Xianxian be afraid of her?

The next second, a slap landed on Xilinchun's face. After the slap, Xianxian wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
