Upon hearing this, Abao felt a sharp pain in his heart.

The reason was that there was a period of time when she was a child when she often got into trouble with Xie Wuai.

Because there were powerful bandits in the western border who started a rebellion, Marquis Xie led his troops to fight.

The old emperor was worried that Marquis Xie would counterattack the imperial capital, so he brought Princess Huimin and five or six-year-old little Xie Wuai into the palace, saying that they could be taken care of more easily, but in fact it was a disguised form of house arrest.

That palace has actually remained unchanged for hundreds of years.

A Bao suppressed the coldness in his heart and chatted with Princess Huimin about the interesting things that happened recently in the noble families in the imperial capital.

Princess Huimin said: "The daughter of the King of Jiangnan is called Xiao, Xiao Jing..."

Ah Bao was peeling an orange and answered casually, "Xiao Jingyue."

"That's right!" Princess Huimin said with a smile, "Xiao Jingyue showed up at Lingxi Qingtan. She was dressed in white like a lotus in clear water, with bright eyes and a charming look. She was extremely beautiful. Later, it was said that Xiao Jingyue was quite famous in Jiangnan..."

"Recently, the princes, dukes, and ladies of the imperial capital have all been asking about her."

As Abao listened, his heart sank.

Princess Huimin took the orange peeled by Abao and continued, "The wife of Duke Yongyi asked me to ask the Royal Concubine whether Xiao Jingyue is married. But my aunt thinks that it may be a little different in front of elders and peers."

As she spoke, Princess Huimin looked at Abao curiously.

"My dear niece, please tell your aunt what is going on with Xiao Jingyue?"

By the time Abao heard this, he had already understood.

With the reputation that Xiao Jingyue had worked hard to build, she was both beautiful and talented, and was the legitimate daughter of the powerful King of Jiangnan. Her aunt was Concubine Wen in the palace, and the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was her cousin. Now, her eldest brother Xiao Yunzheng had even entered the Eastern Palace.

With such a prominent family background, it is no wonder that princes, dukes, and their wives listed Xiao Jingyue as the best candidate and took the trouble to inquire about her when considering marriages for their sons.

But those princes, dukes and their wives probably don’t know that Xiao Jingyue doesn’t like their sons.

Unless, their son can also give Xiao Jingyue the position of Queen of the Central Palace like Pei Guichen, making Xiao Jingyue the most noble woman in the world.

Abao thought about it again and again.

Thinking of how Xiao Jingyue was obsessed with Pei Guichen, even though she knew that her cousin had been married to Pei Guichen for several years, Xiao Jingyue still had an affair with Pei Guichen and even gave birth to Pei Guichen's child in secret.

It is better not to let those innocent princes, dukes, and ladies bring trouble home.

Ah Bao sighed and said, "My mother had invited cousin Jingyue to the banquet at the Summer Palace that day, but she was sick. But my niece went to Xipin to provide disaster relief that night and happened to meet cousin Jingyue."

"Aunt, cousin Jingyue has an idea."

Princess Huimin was a very insightful person and she understood it immediately.

The next moment, Princess Huimin patted Abao's hand and said with a smile, "Since you have your own ideas, we won't get involved."

On this day, Abao cooked and prepared a table full of dishes for Princess Huimin.

She accompanied Princess Huimin to finish dinner until late at night, then made an excuse that it was troublesome to return to the palace and stayed overnight at Marquis Xie's mansion.

After everyone in Xie Hou's mansion fell asleep -

A Bao was finally able to pull Xie Wuai over the wall, get into the carriage that had been waiting at the back door of Marquis Xie's mansion, and head straight for Prince Feng Ran's mansion.

On the Little New Year's Eve, Abao had arrived at the gate of Fengran Palace but was unable to enter.

This time, Abao still couldn't get in.

Because she was taking advantage of the dark night, sneaking around like a thief, trying to climb over the wall into Prince Feng Ran's palace.

But, there is a small problem.

The wall of Prince Fengran's mansion was so high that it was as tall as five people.

Overcoming difficulties and dangers, A Bao stepped on Xie Wuai's shoulders all the way, and the two of them took turns using him as a footpad. Finally, they climbed up the eaves of the wall with great effort, and moved little by little to hang on the top of the wall of the west courtyard of the palace.

Then, A Bao turned around, reached out and pulled Xie Wuai up as well.

Xie Wuai whispered, "Royal sister, it doesn't seem so from a distance, but once you climb up, you'll see that the wall of Prince Feng Ran's mansion is really high."

Po shivered, "Yeah, it's really high."

A Bao lay on the west wall of the Feng Ran Palace like an octopus and looked inside the wall.

Xie Wuai whispered again: "Based on my many years of experience climbing over walls, sister, if we fall down, we will definitely break our legs."

The night wind blew, and dark shadows loomed in the woods, making rustling sounds.

A Bao swallowed and said, "My sister knows that if you fall down, your legs will break."

So she no longer dared to laugh at Xuanyuan Fengran for climbing over the palace wall to see her. Since Xuanyuan Fengran was able to climb over the palace wall that was several feet high, she should have praised him for his great martial arts skills.

A Bao and Xie Wuai, brother and sister, were hanging on the west courtyard wall of Feng Ran Palace.

There was a cold wind for a while.
