The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

Concubine Shu suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Have you forgotten what you did to me?"

Su Yinyue pouted and glanced at her with innocent eyes, "I apologized, Madam Shu, and you forgave me at that time."

You caused my mother's family to be exiled, and yet you dare to act like a big shot in front of me, you little bitch!

The veins on Concubine Shu's forehead were throbbing, and she gritted her teeth, "How can an apology alone be enough?"

Su Yinyue lowered her head and looked at the red spots on her hands meaningfully. "Madam Shu, I recently got a box of beauty cream. How about exchanging sachets with you?"

"I don't want your things." Concubine Shu quickly hid her hands under her wide sleeves and said stiffly, "It's almost time for Si, and it's too late to ask the palace maids to go back to Feihong Palace to get them. I will send someone to deliver them to Prince Yu's Palace tomorrow."

The affairs of the Fang family were known to the court and the public. No one thought it was wrong for the usually kind Concubine Shu to be rude to Princess Yu.

When she finally gave in, people felt that she was magnanimous and let bygones be bygones.

Without waiting for Su Yinyue to say anything, Concubine Zhao, who had hurriedly chased after her, slapped her on the hand she stretched out.

"Snapped!"

"You are such a shallow-minded person. I won't allow you and Fang Zhiyan to ask for anything!" Concubine Zhao dragged her away forcefully. "Isn't it just Yinxiang? I'll give you ten boxes later!"

She and Concubine Shu have a deep hatred. As her daughter-in-law, where does Su Yinyue stand when she asks Concubine Shu for something?

This little incident passed quickly and no one paid any attention to it.

The chief eunuch of Renming Palace walked to the queen in small steps and reminded her that the phoenix chariot was ready and it was time to lead the ladies to the entrance of the Rare Treasure Garden.

Everyone set off.

On the palace road, Chu Yingxiu moved her ears and quietly bumped into Su Yinyue.

"Princess, I heard someone laugh at you for asking for trouble. It's not nice to ask Concubine Shu for something directly..."

Su Yinyue said indifferently: "If I ask for it, she might give it to me. If I don't ask, I will never get it. It's just asking, what's so difficult about it?"

"That being said," Chu Yingxiu saw that she did not show any displeasure, and said, "But the Concubine Shu is not related to you in any way. You are embarrassing her and impolite..."

"Isn't Concubine Shu my stepmother?" Su Yinyue said indifferently, "You have to choose between face and benefits."

Chu Yingxiu complained in a low voice, "...but you didn't get it, so you lost both your face and the benefits."

Su Yinyue said, "So I have become a joke."

Chu Yingxiu was surprised. Is it really okay to make fun of yourself and become a joke?

Is Princess Yu too insightful?

From this point of view, it should be good to practice her mental method. It's a pity that the Yaochi secret book cannot be passed on to outsiders.

Chu Yingxiu didn't speak again along the way.

After seeing how much the Queen loved the Treasure Tree, she no longer held out hope of getting the Treasure Tree back.

Forget it, today I will just accompany Princess Yu to the palace.

Soon, Kajishi entered the Treasure Garden.

She was overwhelmed by the various rare species that appeared along the way, and her worries were unconsciously thrown behind her.

She even began to feel fortunate that she followed Princess Yu into the palace. Otherwise, how could she see these magical animals anywhere else?

"Is that a horse? Why is there black and white stripes on it?"

"What kind of animal is this? It's so tall, a Qilin? The arrival of such a strange animal in Qi State is a good omen and a great blessing!"

Wherever they went, doctors from the Imperial Household Department would explain in detail the origins of the goods and the hardships they had experienced during their transportation.

Everyone followed the emperor and empress, exclaiming in surprise.

Su Yinyue mingled in the crowd, laughed and sighed with everyone, and simply followed the crowd.

If you look closely, you can see the lack of interest in her eyes.

The Rare Treasure Garden is an ancient version of a zoo, which was really beyond her expectations.

An official knelt down in front of the giraffe and said enthusiastically, "It looks like a deer, has horns on its head, has weapons but is harmless, and has gentle eyes with divinity. It must be a auspicious beast, the Qilin!"

"Qilin is here, blessings have come from heaven, this is the recognition of the emperor by heaven, who dares to say that the Great Qi is not at peace?"

Another official knelt down and shouted, "The peace and prosperity of Qi State today is all thanks to the wise emperor!"

Led by two people, everyone knelt down and shouted "The emperor is wise."

Emperor Mingde laughed three times and asked everyone to stand up. He then ordered the doctor from the Qizhen Garden to lead the giraffe out of the palace so that the people could have fun together.

With the birth of the Qilin, the rumors that the Queen is unlucky and the Emperor is incompetent will be dispelled.

It turns out that this was the reason why Emperor Mingde insisted on holding a palace banquet and inviting all his ministers to visit the Rare Treasures Garden.

Su Yinyue was secretly looking forward to finding out who was the mastermind behind spreading the rumors.

"In addition to the Qilin, there is also a fiery red divine bird in the garden, which looks like a phoenix."

Emperor Mingde said in a pleasant tone, "You all may watch with me."

Everyone followed.

Su Yinyue was about to leave when the grass shaking violently beside her caught her attention.

"careful!"

Chu Yingxiu and Huamei immediately stood in front of her.

After a while, a boy of eight or nine years old in brocade clothes emerged from the bushes.

"what!"

Seeing someone, the boy quickly covered his face and turned around.

In just a moment, Su Yinyue still saw large patches of acne on his face.

"I, I didn't know there was anyone here, I'm leaving now..."

"Eighth Prince?" Su Yinyue guessed his identity. "Why are you hiding under the grass instead of following your father around the garden?"

After his identity was exposed, the Eighth Prince turned around with his shoulders drooped, "Little Eight pays respects to the Fifth Sister-in-law."

Su Yinyue was surprised, "You know me?"

Her title of Princess Yu was not legitimate, and she seldom interacted with nobles.

Jiang Zai Yu's brothers and sisters, except for the third prince Jiang Zai Ling who was also outside the palace, were the fifteen-year-old sixth prince whom he had just met at the gate of the Treasure Garden.

If the Eighth Prince did not have such strong personal characteristics and the minister did not bring any children with him on this garden visit, she would not have recognized the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince nodded and said, "I was hiding in the bushes just now and heard Fifth Brother ask you if you want to take a Qilin back to the palace to raise."

Su Yinyue shook her head and chuckled. She had only looked at the giraffe for a few more seconds, and he was thinking of taking away one of the only two auspicious beasts of Emperor Mingde, the Qilin.

"I am ugly, which is unworthy of the royal family, and I rarely leave the Chunjin Palace." The Eighth Prince twisted his fingers nervously and whispered, "Fifth sister-in-law, can you please not tell others that you have seen me?"

Because of his ugly appearance, no one invited him to any activities in the palace.

But he was really curious about what was in the Rare Treasure Garden, so he sneaked over while his mother was busy with the night banquet in Hanyuan Palace and had no time to spare.

Since his mother had told his father in advance that he would not attend, when he arrived here, he did not dare to show up in front of his father and could only hide in the bushes to watch.

Su Yinyue's eyes fell on his hair and she readily agreed, "Okay."

Men in Qi State tie their hair at the age of fifteen, but the eighth prince was only nine years old, and half of his hair was loose.

"You came out of the grass and there's grass debris in your hair. Don't move. I'll remove it for you."

Su Yinyue stepped forward and ran her fingers through his hair. "Your hair is messy too. Let me help you fix it."

While picking up the grass clippings, he also quietly removed his naturally fallen hair.
