On Princess Yong'an's birthday, many people were nervous and anxious.

Mrs. Hu had not sat down in Grand Hyatt Residence since noon. She wanted to call her "Mom Hong" several times before she realized that she had been sold.

Looking at another useful woman in his yard, Mother Lu, who hurriedly ran up to him and waited for instructions, he felt unhappy. She was still far inferior to Mother Hong. At this moment, he regretted selling Mother Hong so hastily.

"No news yet?"

Although Mother Lu became the most capable person around Mrs. Hu thanks to Mother Hong, she was not that happy. Mother Hong had worked hard for so many years, but ended up like this. She also dragged the whole family to be sold. Who knows what she did wrong? Maybe the result will be worse than Mother Hong's.

"Not yet. I just went to the Third Young Master's room, and Lingguan and the others haven't come back yet."

Hong was a little panicked. It was agreed that the news should have been sent back by now, but at this moment, there was no news from either Zhou Zheng or Hu Yukun.

And I don’t know how Zhou Yingning is doing. Her condition is really worrying, but we can’t stop her from going.

In Qinghe Garden, Meng Wan was also walking back and forth anxiously.

"Don't worry, Madam. Second Master has planned everything so carefully, and with the help of Princess Rui, there will be no problem." Chuan'er brought the bird's nest over. "At least have a sip. You didn't eat much at noon."

"Cai'er didn't come back?"

"Still in the outer courtyard."

Meng Wan took the bird's nest bowl and stirred it gently with a small silver spoon. Cai'er had been sent to the outer courtyard by him early in the morning, and she was just waiting for the outer courtyard to come back and tell her when there was any news.

It's already this late and there's still no news. Could there be another accident?

"Second Madam, this is the third time that the maid from Junyueju has gone to the Third Young Master's residence in the outer courtyard. Just now, a maid also went out of the door. It seems that she is going to the Hu family." Mother Kong came in and said.

Meng Wan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Hu family had not received any news either. That was fine. Perhaps something unexpected happened during the process that delayed the time.

Just when Mrs. Hu could no longer wait and wanted to go to Zhou Zheng to check in person, Zhou Yiheng walked in with a sullen face.

"My Lord, why are you back at this time?" Hu was surprised at first, then she realized that she had asked the wrong question and quickly changed her words, "I meant that you said that you might stay in the palace today, didn't you?"

The emperor has been getting better and better recently. He is a man with a bad temper. He suddenly feels nostalgic and looks for some old friends to chat with every day. Almost all the people from the noble families are called by him to "chat with him". Today, he happened to meet Zhou Yiheng's class.

"The emperor was in high spirits today because of the good massage from Concubine Lian, and he said that he didn't need me in the palace anymore. I packed my things and came out, and met Princess Yong'an and her carriage at the palace gate."

Mrs. Hu was shocked. What? Princess Yong'an and the others had gone back, so what was going on with A Zheng? Why didn't they send anyone to tell us?

"But what happened?" Seeing that Zhou Yiheng's face looked strange, Mrs. Hu asked cautiously.

Zhou Yiheng patted the armrest of the chair and said, "After waiting for the princess' carriage to go in, I met the chief guard who went there this time. He kept congratulating me."

"What? What do you mean?" Hu had a vague sense of anticipation. Could it be that Brother Zheng succeeded?

Zhou Yiheng stared into Mrs. Hu's eyes and said, "It was said that Brother Zheng saved the princess today, and he only asked me to come back and wait for the imperial decree. Our family will have a prince consort."

Hu heard Zhou Yiheng's unfriendly tone. She knew that Zhou Yiheng had never thought of letting her son become a royal consort, so she didn't dare let him know anything about her arrangement.

But Hu was secretly delighted. It seemed that Zheng had succeeded. This was great. I thought that in a few days, the palace would issue an order.

Mrs. Hu was filled with joy, but she didn't dare to show it. She pretended to be surprised, "How could this happen? What happened? How did Brother Zheng save Princess Yong'an?"

Zhou Yiheng frowned, "How do you know it's Princess Yong'an?"

"Ah? No, that, isn't today Princess Yong'an's birthday? That's why I just thought of it. Could it be some other princess?" Mrs. Hu's heart began to beat.

Zhou Yi shook his head. "I don't know. The guard captain only said this and left in a hurry. I couldn't just stand there and wait for news, so I came back to ask Brother Zheng what happened. Didn't Brother Zheng go to school today?"

"I was going to go, but Sister Ning is going to celebrate Princess Yong'an's birthday today. You also know that Sister Ning was frightened by what happened last time, and I was really worried, so I asked Brother Zheng to send her there. I will let him go to school when Sister Ning is fine. If what the captain of the guards said is true, maybe Sister Ning is not in good condition, and Brother Zheng is afraid of another accident, so he has not dared to leave?"

Zhou Yiheng snorted, "Sister Ning, what's wrong? I haven't heard of the young ladies of the Hu family being frightened like this, but it was her. She was just watching the fun and was more frightened than the one who actually fell into the water. If nothing works, take her to Hongluo Temple and ask Master Yuanjing to take a look at the pond. Maybe her soul has gone there."

Hu nodded in agreement. She just wanted to get Zhou Yiheng away first. After Zhou Zheng came back, she would know the whole story and then come up with a unified statement.

She looked at Mother Lu who came in to pour tea for Zhou Yiheng and hummed twice. The old woman just looked at her with confusion, not understanding what her eyes meant at all.

Hu secretly hated her. In terms of perceptiveness, it was Madam Hong who knew what she meant with just one look. But it was no use regretting now. Just as she was thinking of a way, Yunxiang, who was asking for information, hurried in. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhou Yiheng sitting there and hurriedly bowed to greet him.

Hu winked at Yunxiang again, and Yunxiang understood. After thinking for a while, she said, "Princess, I just heard them say that the young lady can spit bubbles."

The Little Miss is the newborn daughter of Aunt Huan. As she is not yet a hundred days old, she has not been given a name yet, so the servants in the mansion call her the Little Miss.

Zhou Yiheng smiled as soon as he heard this. Mrs. Hu said, "How about Your Majesty go and take a look? When Brother Zheng comes back, I will go and ask Your Majesty. Then I will know what happened today."

Zhou Yiheng nodded. When he came back from the palace, he had sent people to look for Zhou Zheng. No matter how anxious he was at this time, he had to figure out the whole story so that he could make the next plan.

Seeing Zhou Yiheng leave the yard, Mrs. Hu asked anxiously, "How is it? Any news?"

Yunxiang nodded, "The Third Young Master is changing his clothes. There are many cuts on his clothes, and the hems are all covered in mud."

Hu asked nervously, "Is Brother Zheng okay?"

"It's okay. The third young master said he fell down. It's okay. He will come to see you after he changes his clothes."

Seeing Hu sighing with relief, Yunxiang hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Just let the officer say that the Third Master did not save Princess Yong'an."

"What?" Mrs. Hu had just sat back in her chair, and stood up again after hearing this. "What do you mean she's not Princess Yong'an? When the prince came back just now, he said that the chief guard who escorted the princess back to the palace congratulated him and said that Brother Zheng was going to be the prince consort. How come she's not the princess anymore?"

"Princess, the Third Master did save a princess, but not Princess Yong'an."

"What? Which princess is that? That's impossible. How could Brother Zheng save the wrong person? We had arranged the clothes and makeup in advance. Besides, Brother Zheng didn't know Princess Yong'an. How did he know that he didn't save Princess Yong'an?"

Yunxiang looked at Hu who was holding her hand anxiously, and endured the pain in her hand and said, "The officer said that the princess that the third young master saved was the one with bad legs and feet."

"Boom!" Hu was stunned in place. With bad legs and feet, not to mention the princess, even the daughters of all the noble families in the capital could only save that one person. Could it be that Brother Zheng saved Princess Fanghua, the one who was injured in the face by Sister Ning's zither strings but refused to give in?

Mrs. Hu stood there in a daze. How could this happen? What went wrong? Did Brother Zheng make a mistake, or was there something wrong with the arrangement in the palace?

How did his daughter-in-law change from the legitimate Princess Yong'an to the annoying Princess Fanghua?

Before Mrs. Hu could come to her senses, Zhou Zheng, dressed in new clothes, walked in with a gloomy face.
