I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

How come this family is so good at playing dumb...

She hit her head painfully and handed it over tremblingly.

"My queen! This is what the master brought from Zhubo Country..."

"Ruyi! They're just some little gadgets!" the queen interrupted her hastily.

"Hmm?" Huanyan pretended not to hear what they said. She cast a questioning look at them, took the ruby, and put it in her arms.

"Nothing. Its greatest value is that Wuyang likes it." The queen also responded with a fake smile and came up with another plan.

"Wuyang, it's rare for you to come back. I just happened to be going to visit my sister, Concubine De, who was confined to her house after a miscarriage. Why don't you come with me? It will also allow you to get to know His Majesty's harem."

"Oh, not interested." Huanyan took the ruby ​​and was about to leave.

"It is said that Sister Defei and Miss Jiang have similar personalities and they regret that they met too late." The Queen smiled.

"Oh. I'll go then."

Huanyan turned back again, but walked far ahead of the Queen and the others.

Looking at the two's backs, the queen touched the phoenix crown on her head and said, "They are indeed birds of a feather!"

"Then your Majesty, you gave her the ruby..." Ruyi said indignantly.

"Never mind. After all, we were the ones who made the mistake first. If this gets out, we will be the ones who will be embarrassed!"

The queen suppressed her anger and followed.

At this time, Concubine De was sitting in Huining Palace, leisurely sipping tea.

"What?! The Queen is here again! I won't see her!" Concubine De rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, they're already at the door! Here with them is Her Royal Highness Princess Wuyang!" Furong quickly poured out her tea.

"Here she comes again! Here she comes again! I'm so annoyed with her! Every time she comes, she puts on a hypocritical show, telling me all sorts of lies for a long time, and telling me not to eat this, not to eat that, not to do this, not to do that, and yet I can't chase her away!"

While cursing, Defei quickly took off her shoes and lay back in bed.

Huanyan faintly heard a complaint coming from inside and was frowning.

What kind of resentful woman is this? How could Xingxing regret meeting her too late?

As soon as I entered, I saw a graceful woman lying on the bed. She was not wearing any makeup, but her appearance was as beautiful as an angel.

As soon as their eyes met, Huanyan's eyes widened.

This person... looks so much like... Jiang Xingkuo...

Although their looks are different and their facial features are somewhat similar, when their whole faces are put together, they vaguely exude a temperament similar to Jiang Xingkuo.

"Who is this..." Defei looked at her in a daze and couldn't help but turn to ask the Queen.

"This is Princess Wuyang, the younger sister of His Majesty. She was specially granted a fiefdom and is as precious as gold and jade. She is the only one favored in the entire Great Jin Kingdom!" The Queen couldn't wait to introduce her to her.

"Please take a seat, Princess Wuyang! Furong! Bring me some tea!" Concubine De hurriedly asked them to sit down.

At this moment, a little palace maid came in with a bowl of food that was emitting cold air. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I bought you the iced yogurt you requested!"

Everyone in the room looked at each other.

The little palace maid's face changed color. She was so frightened that she dared not speak a word and was at a loss as to what to do.

Furong, who was returning with tea, happened to see this scene and immediately scolded, "You little bitch! You can't even do such a simple task! You spent so much time buying this for me, but I asked you to deliver it to my room! Why are you here to disturb the ladies' conversation? Get out of here!"

The little palace maid was as if she had been pardoned, and she hurriedly crawled out with the plate in her arms.

Concubine De smiled awkwardly and picked at the embroidered peony flowers on the quilt.

The Queen frowned, "Sister Defei, you just had a miscarriage less than two months ago, how can you eat this..."

"I like it too! If this sour pancake is paired with muffins and honey, it would be absolutely delicious..." Huanyan suddenly interrupted her.

"What is a pancake? I have never eaten it! Your Highness, please tell me about it!" Upon hearing this, Concubine De became excited and stood up.

The queen's face turned cold, "Your Highness, the Princess, you may not know that Concubine De just had a miscarriage and should not eat cold and spicy food."

"Oh, then wait and eat it." Huanyan shrugged.

"Your Majesty, I didn't say we wanted to eat now." Concubine De also looked at the Queen innocently.

She was about to say something when Concubine De looked at Huanyan again.

"May I ask your maiden name? It always feels strange to call you Your Highness, Your Highness."

Fleur glanced at the Queen worriedly.

The queen's expression turned even uglier. "De Fei, etiquette cannot be abolished. This is against the rules."

"My name is Huanyan, you can just call me Huanyan."

Huanyan seemed not to hear what the Queen said, but she had already guessed in her heart that the Queen was about to explode with anger, but she ignored it and discussed with Concubine De about the hundred ways to eat this sour fried dumpling.

The queen slowly closed her eyes, forced herself to calm down, opened her eyes again, and suddenly interrupted them while they were talking:

"Sister Defei, I heard that you can't go out these days. I'm afraid you are bored! I specially asked someone to bring a notebook from outside the palace to cheer you up."

Ruyi quickly handed the notebook to her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely take a closer look." Defei put the notebook aside.

Huanyan secretly glanced at the queen.

Are you so disrespectful to the Queen?

When the queen heard this, she laughed out of anger and was about to get angry.

"Empress, today is the first day of the new year, and it's getting late. Are you going back to welcome the emperor?" Defei suddenly interrupted her spell.

As she spoke, she moved closer to the queen and took a careful look. "Oh! Your Majesty! Your makeup is a little smudged! Look..."

"Huh?" The queen didn't react for a moment.

“…Is…is that so?” The queen touched her face and looked at Ruyi beside her.

Ruyi hurried over and took a look. She saw that her makeup was indeed a little smudged. She nodded reluctantly.

The queen coughed and quickly left with her people.

"Huh? Is this possible?" Huanyan looked at Concubine De in astonishment.

"I've always been like this, so she's used to it." Defei shook her head.

"You seem to dislike her very much." Huanyan looked at the helplessness in her eyes.

"She said I was Miss Jiang's substitute."

Huanyan blinked and didn't dare to speak.

"It's fine. It's no big deal. But she also said that my child was killed by Miss Jiang."

Huanyan widened her eyes and dared not speak any more.

"Don't you think I know who did it? It's her turn to gossip and point fingers. Besides, Miss Jiang is a pretty girl with beautiful eyebrows and white teeth, as pretty as a flower, and graceful..."

"Wait, these don't seem to be words used to describe people..." Huanyan wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Really... If you say it's not true, then it's not true. Just now you said you would take me to Miss Jiang's shop to eat pancakes and that Shu what... Are you serious?"

Huanyan smiled helplessly, "Really? I'll definitely take you there when I have the chance."

As it was getting dark, Huanyan didn't want to stay for long, so she found an excuse to go back.

"Princess, why is Concubine De acting so weird?" Songyan touched her goose bumps.

"It turns out I'm not the only one who feels this way..." Huanyan also stroked her arms and walked towards the familiar yet unfamiliar Piyun Palace.
