The Regent Princess has run away again

At egg time the next day, Xue Zhiyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, but she was almost frightened by the pile of clothes in front of her.

Seeing Xiaoqiu almost rummaging through boxes and drawers to take out clothes that could be worn, he couldn't help but rub his temples, supported himself with one hand and slowly sat up, saying helplessly, "Xiaoqiu, if you don't know, you would think you are a wholesaler of clothes."

Xiaoqiu stopped what she was doing and looked at the people who had already gotten up. Although she didn't quite understand what the lady meant by wholesale, it didn't stop her from being excited today.

"Miss, this one suits your skin tone best," Xiao Qiu took out a green lotus-colored scattered flower Ruyi Yunyan skirt from among the many clothes, tried it on Xue Zhiyu, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She didn't care about the master-servant relationship, helped Xue Zhiyu up from the bed, and then pulled her directly to the bronze mirror.

"Miss, this dress really sets off your skin, but it doesn't shine too much, otherwise those ladies might get jealous of you."

The little girl was chattering non-stop beside her. This was the first time she saw Xiao Qiu so excited, so she didn't interrupt her and let her do whatever she wanted.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Bring my medicine box here later so I can get some spare medicine," Xue Zhiyu couldn't persuade Xiaoqiu, so she took the clothes and put them aside. She finished washing herself without waiting for Xiaoqiu to serve her.

After having a quick breakfast, Xue Zhiyu opened the medicine box and took a look at the medicine inside. It was too troublesome to carry all the bottles and jars, so she directly took out her special Baijie Pills and placed them on the table.

She had a quick breakfast and was planning to just get by with it, but Xiaoqiu forced her to dress up before going out.

Before leaving the house, Xue Zhiyu was still a little worried so she took a small sachet with her.

.......

As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Xue Yumei who had been waiting for a long time by the lake. She also saw her and nodded at her.

Xue Zhiyu walked over and gave a standard professional smile, "Sister, you've been here for a long time, right? I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"No, I just arrived a while ago," Xue Yumei smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries until a carriage stopped in front of them, and then they were quiet for a while.

"Yumei, long time no see."

Hearing the voice of the person coming, Xue Yumei turned around, and the two of them bowed to each other. The woman then came over, completely ignoring Xue Zhiyu next to her, and took her arm affectionately.

"Hanming, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look prettier now," Xue Yumei said, then she looked at Xue Zhiyu and said, "Zhiyu, this is Mr. Zhao's younger sister, Zhao Hanming."

"Han Ming, this is my third sister Zhiyu. She seldom went out before because of her poor health. It would be good to bring her out to see the world now. Remember to take good care of her."

Zhao Hanming glanced at her with naked contempt in his eyes, and quickly looked away as if he had seen something dirty.

Xue Yumei, the peacemaker, quickly tried to smooth things over, "Hanming, why don't you go aboard and rest for a while. Zhiyu and I will wait here."

"I'm not that squeamish. I'll just wait here."

"Sister Yumei, Sister Hanming," a voice as sweet as a silver bell came from a distance, and a woman with a touch of lotus root pink walked over quickly, her face full of joy.

Zhao Hanming hummed and didn't intend to pay any more attention to her. Instead, Xue Yumei next to her still maintained a gentle expression and smiled at her politely, "Shanrong, long time no see, how is your mother these days?"

"Well, much better. Thank you Sister Yumei for your concern. But it's also thanks to Miss Xue San. If it weren't for her, my mother would probably still be lying in bed," Chen Shanrong still felt a little scared when she said this.

Xue Yumei's gentle expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She looked at Xue Zhiyu and said jokingly, "Zhiyu has made great progress. She can even cure diseases and save lives."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shanrong quickly turned her head to look at the woman on the other side of Xue Yumei, her eyes suddenly lit up, "You are the benefactor my mother mentioned. It's great that I have met you. I am really grateful that you cured my mother. Please come to the mansion to visit me often when you are free."

Xue Zhiyu just remembered this matter, frowned and asked in confusion, "Are you the daughter of the Secretary?"

"Yes, it's me. You can just call me Shanrong. Can I call you Zhiyu?"

"all right."

Upon hearing her agreement, Chen Shanrong walked over to her and said admiringly, "Zhiyu, you are really amazing. If you were a man, you would definitely achieve something. You would definitely be more amazing than those old men in the palace."

Xue Zhiyu was a little amused. Why was this girl so talkative? She could only say helplessly, "How can my little tricks compare to those old gentlemen? Please don't flatter me."

The two began to chat, and soon, two more carriages arrived. After they got to know each other, they got into the two-story flower boat.

After entering, several people found a seat and sat down. Xue Yumei asked Xue Zhiyu to sit next to her, acting like a good sister. She asked her from time to time if she would get seasick or if she was sitting comfortably, and then she let the boatman start the boat.

Song Yaxuan couldn't help herself any longer and had to admit that Xue Zhiyu was very beautiful. With a little makeup and the dress with scattered flowers, she looked as dazzling as a fairy in the lake. The jealousy in her heart was infinitely magnified, and when she saw her leisurely and comfortable appearance, she couldn't hold it back any more.

"How are you, Miss Xue San? I heard from Yumei that you were not feeling well. I wonder if you are feeling better now?"

Before Xue Zhiyu could answer, Song Yaxuan spoke first, "Wenwen, you don't know this, right? Miss Xue San hit her head against the wall because she couldn't snatch someone else's fiancé. Didn't she hurt her head?"

Jiang Wenwen covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of contempt, and her tone could not help but become sarcastic, "Miss Xue San is really capable. She has done such a shameless thing before she even reached the age of marriage. It is really a disgrace for women. Like mother, like daughter."

Chen Shanrong was so angry when she heard this that she was ready to curse back on behalf of Xue Zhiyu, but... she had no right to do so here... she had to bite her lip and swallow her words.

Xue Zhiyu, who was originally planning to let them bark, suddenly had a cold look in her eyes when she heard Jiang Wenwen's next words. She glanced at Li Wenwen and said, "It seems that Miss Jiang didn't rinse her mouth this morning. Why does her mouth stink so bad? Did she get too excited and fall into the toilet this morning? Otherwise, why would it smell the same as the toilet?"

Jiang Wenwen shuddered, as if she was in an ice cellar. Her arrogant attitude suddenly died down, but she still refused to admit defeat after hearing what the other party said. "How dare you, a bitch, scold me? Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"Miss Jiang, calling me a bitch is equivalent to calling my elder sister a bitch as well. I don't know if you don't like my elder sister normally, so you took this opportunity to insult her. It's really too much."

After being told this by Xue Zhiyu, Jiang Wenwen panicked and looked at Xue Yumei. When she saw the displeasure on her face, she explained, "Yumei, I didn't scold you. I was just teaching that bitch a lesson."

Xue Yumei looked at the two of them with embarrassment, then sighed, blaming herself and saying helplessly, "Today I wanted to bring my third sister out to meet the world, but I didn't expect that you would have so many misunderstandings. It's my fault. For my sake, can you please stop arguing?"

Jiang Wenwen snorted and said nothing. Xue Zhiyu didn't want to say anything either. She leaned against the railing at the back and turned to look at the other side of the lake.

Chen Shanrong next to her quietly pulled her sleeve and looked at her with worry in her eyes. Xue Zhiyu smiled without giving any further explanation.

Then several girls started discussing some interesting folk stories. Xue Zhiyu felt even more sleepy after listening to them. They kept talking about poetry, books, etiquette, and gossip. It was really boring.

"Zhi Yu, why don't you drink the tea? If you drink it when it's cold, you'll upset your stomach," Xue Yumei came over and asked with concern.

Xue Zhiyu then looked at the tea that had not been touched, and took a sniff. The clear tea had a slightly different smell, which could be easily overlooked if one did not smell it carefully, but this smell was not unfamiliar to her.

From the corner of her eye, she noticed that although Xue Yumei tried her best to conceal her emotions, she could still feel that she was staring at her teacup. The madness in her eyes was unprecedented. Since this elder sister wanted her to drink it so much, how could she let her down?

"Yeah, I'm thirsty too," Xue Zhiyu thought for a moment, picked up the teacup and drank all the tea.

After seeing that she really drank it all, Xue Yumei finally let go of her worries. She sat up straight and poured her another cup. "This is new tea. If you like it, drink more."

Zhao Hanming curled his lips, feeling inexplicably unhappy when he saw Xue Zhiyu's attitude, "No wonder brother likes Yumei, she is so virtuous and suitable for a family, unlike someone who will never please brother no matter what she does."

Xue Yumei's pretty face immediately turned red. "Hanming, look at what you said. How could such an outstanding person like Mr. Zhao like me? You are teasing me again."

"You are the only one who deserves me. My brother doesn't even want you, even though you are the one giving yourself to me."

Xue Zhiyu didn't show any expression on her face. She even thought these people were really childish. They were making such obvious innuendos because they were afraid that she wouldn't understand?

Seeing that she didn't respond, everyone felt bored and changed the subject.

"How about we paint or compose poems about willow trees, and see whoever writes the best poem. I'll give you the jade hairpin my sister gave me." Zhao Hanming said, and then he took out a hairpin from his sleeve that was almost transparent without a trace of impurities. Xue Zhiyu, who originally didn't show much interest, couldn't help but take a look.

"Oh my god, this hairpin is so beautiful, it's worthy of being something from the palace," Jiang Wenwen's eyes suddenly shone with golden light, staring at the jade hairpin without blinking.

Zhao Hanming nodded proudly after hearing her flattery. Seeing Xue Zhiyu also staring at her, he couldn't help but feel even more proud. "This was given to my sister by His Majesty the Emperor. My sister brought it back for me."

"Wow, His Majesty really dotes on the Imperial Concubine. This is a jade hairpin that you can't buy anywhere else. It's so beautiful," Song Yaxuan also echoed.

Zhao Hanming carefully put it into his sleeve, looked at the willow tree over there, walked to the side and started painting.

Others who were good at painting were painting, and those who were good at writing poetry were writing poetry, but Chen Shanrong and Xue Zhiyu were the only ones sitting there doing nothing.

Chen Shanrong scratched her head in embarrassment, watching everyone show off their talents. However, she was not good at these two things, so she looked at Xue Zhiyu next to her and said, "Zhiyu, why don't you also paint or write poetry?"

"I can't," which was also the truth. Although she had memorized Tang and Song poems, it didn't mean she could write poetry.

"It just so happens that I'm not very good at it, so I'll just wait until they're done competing. Anyway, I've never won once. I'm sorry, Zhiyu, it's not that I didn't want to speak up for you just now, but I also..."

"I know, it's okay." In fact, from what we saw just now, although no one was targeting this girl, it was obvious that they were all excluding her.
