The Queen and Concubine Su looked back at the second prince Xiao Jingjun at the same time, and Concubine Su spoke first.
"Jingyun is here."
Xiao Jingyun nodded slightly to Concubine Su, then turned his eyes to Luo Yao, "This must be the newly married princess of the emperor's uncle. Jingyun has met the emperor's aunt."
Luo Yao returned the favor politely.
The second prince, Xiao Jingjun, is dressed in a dark blue robe. He has a slender figure and fine appearance. There is a handsome shadow of the emperor between his eyebrows. He is worthy of being a child of the royal family.
Thinking of this, the figure of the eldest prince Xiao Mucheng flashed across her mind.
As a descendant of the royal family, Xiao Mufeng has no trace of the emperor at all, and is the most mediocre-looking among all the princes.
Is this a genetic mutation?
The child didn't have to be like his father, and she didn't think much of it.
Since Xiao Jingjun arrived, the Queen and Concubine Su's attention turned to him. Luo Yao didn't have anything to say to them, so she just said politely.
"I'll take my leave first."
The Queen and Concubine Su looked at her at the same time and said at the same time, "Then you go first!"
Luo Yao glanced at the three of them and left without saying a word.
After walking out of the inner palace, Luo Yao's mind was still repeating the scene just now.
She always felt that it was a little strange for the three of them to be together just now, but she couldn't tell what was strange.
After leaving the palace, she returned to Prince Li's Mansion.
When passing by the back garden of the palace, several servants were burning dead branches and leaves from the palace, intending to use the ashes as fertilizer to nourish the flowers and plants in the back garden.
This is a trick commonly used by folk gardeners in Xilin to grow flowers. It is very effective and many experienced gardeners will do this.
Luo Yao took a few steps forward and saw Liu Yinyin sitting in the small pavilion again.
She was annoyed with Liu Yinyin the most, so she pretended not to see Liu Yinyin and passed by.
Before he could walk far, he heard Liu Yinyin's voice coming from behind.
"Peony, can you help me see what I can do with this box?"
Peony stared at the box and said truthfully: "Miss, I thought the ground in our yard was uneven a few days ago, so why not use it to fill the holes in the yard?"
"Your suggestion is good. Some unknown things are only suitable for standing on tiptoes and being stepped on by others." Liu Yinyin said proudly.
The voices of the master and the servant were extremely penetrating, and they all fell on Luo Yao's ears.
Knowing that Liu Yinyin said these words to her on purpose, she stopped impatiently. She wanted to see what kind of monster Liu Yinyin was going to do?
She turned around and looked up to see the wooden box Liu Yinyin was holding.
It's the box my mother left behind!
How come this box is in Liu Yin's hands?
Without thinking, she rushed to the small pavilion and looked at Liu Yinyin with a pair of angry eyes, "Give me back the box!"
Liu Yinyin looked at her in surprise, "Why is the princess here?"
Too lazy to talk nonsense with Liu Yinyin, she repeated what she had just said, "Give me back the box!"
Liu Yinyin put the box away, stood up and explained, "This box was given to me by Brother Li Wang. If the princess wants it, I will ask Brother Li Wang to give you another one."
"It was originally mine." She suppressed her anger and took a deep breath.
"What do you say, Princess? Brother Li Wang obviously gave this to me, so why does it become yours again?"
"This is the box my mother left behind. You've seen it before, so don't put it in it."
Liu Yinyin pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth. She opened her eyes and looked at the box in her hand carefully, "Princess, you must have misunderstood! The box that Brother Li Wang gave me is different from the one you took last time. How could it be the same one. "
She deliberately used this box to anger Luo Yao today.
Even if it's the same one, she won't admit it.
"Give it to me!" Luo Yao shouted coldly.
"This is something given to me by Brother Li Wang. I can't give it to you."
Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan!
You took the wooden box and didn't return it to me just to use it to please your sweetheart.
Are you still human!
Luo Yao clenched her fists loudly and looked at Liu Yinyin with eyes as sharp as a knife.
She walked up to Liu Yinyin coldly, stretched out her hand to Liu Yinyin, "Give it to me!"
Liu Yinyin hid the wooden box behind his back, "Brother Li Wang has already given it to me. That's my thing. I can't give it to you."
"I say it again, give it to me!"
"The princess cannot be..."
Before she could finish her words, Luo Yao reached out to snatch the box.
Liu Yinyin shook the wooden box from side to side, not intending to give it to Luo Yao.
The two of them fought back and forth, while Mudan stood aside and watched, not knowing whether he should step forward to help.
Seeing that Luo Yao was about to grab the wooden box and snatch the things back, Liu Yinyin raised a sly smile on her lips and threw the wooden box out.
The wooden box drew a slender parabola in the air, and landed squarely on the pile of burned dead branches and leaves.
The rising flames instantly swallowed up the wooden box, and the fire burned even more intensely.
Luo Yao didn't care to settle the score with Liu Yinyin and hurriedly ran from the small pavilion to the fire. As soon as she approached the fire, a bunch of flames burst out in front of her.
She looked around, picked up a broom from the side, and used it to put out the flames.
But not only was the fire not put out by her, but it burned even more fiercely because of the wind brought by the broom.
When the servants on the side saw it, they all backed away in fear.
After trying unsuccessfully to put out the fire, she stood by the fire with a disgraceful face, watching helplessly as the wooden box turned into ashes bit by bit in the fire in front of her.
Until all the dead branches and leaves were burned away, the fire was finally extinguished.
Luo Yao peeled away the dark ashes, holding the ashes in the wooden box with dull eyes.
This is the only thing left by Lan Qin!
Now, there is nothing.
A breeze blew past her, blowing away the ashes in her hands and blowing away her hope.
She lowered her arms coldly, her dress and face were stained with black ash, and she didn't bother to wipe it off.
Liu Yinyin from the small pavilion saw it and deliberately said loudly: "Oh! It's all because the princess insisted on snatching it. It's fine now, the box has been burned."
She did it on purpose!
Last time because of this wooden box, she was thrown into the lotus pond by Luo Yao, and later she was bled by Luo Yao.
She has not forgotten these old accounts.
Today, she happened to see this wooden box in Xiao Yan's study, and she used various methods to successfully get the wooden box from Xiao Yan.
She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, allowing Luo Yao to see with her own eyes the things she cherished turn into ashes. Seeing Luo Yao's devastated look, the resentment in her heart finally disappeared.
Luo Yao turned around and glared at Liu Yinyin, with strong murderous intent bursting out of her eyes.
Liu Yinyin was frightened by her eyes, and stumbled to defend herself, "No, you can't blame me. You insisted on grabbing it yourself. I, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
"Yeah?"
As soon as the words fell, Luo Yao was like a gust of wind blowing in front of Liu Yinyin, raising his hand to strangle her neck.
"You can't survive if you destroy my mother's things!"
"I, I really... didn't mean it."
Mudan's eyes turned red and she cried and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, "Please, Princess, please let my lady go!"
"go to hell!"
Just as Luo Yao was about to break Liu Yinyin's neck, a small pocket arrow pierced her arm...
