The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

On the ninth day, Liu Yiyi came of age.

Many people came to the Liu Mansion. Everyone wanted to curry favor with the princess consort appointed by the royal family. The queen had such a huge influence that before the prince ascended the throne, it was still uncertain what the outcome would be.

All the princes came with their princesses, even the eldest princess came. She tied Liu Yiyi's hair herself, performed three plus three bows, and finally inserted a white jade hairpin into the hair. The ceremony was completed.

Liu Yiyi sat gracefully in the chair seat, accepting everyone's blessings.

Then came the banquet.

When they first met and sat at the same table with the princesses, the atmosphere at the table was a little subtle. After all, it had only been a few days since New Year's Eve, and everyone still remembered it. They felt unhappy but couldn't show it, which made them feel suffocated, especially the fifth princess.

However, as a daughter-in-law of a royal family, she still had to greet him, and not only that, she had to pretend to chat with him for a few minutes.

"Look at Miss Liu, a lady from a noble family is really different. Her temperament is extraordinary. No wonder the Queen Mother fell in love with her at first sight. Miss Liu is probably the best among the unmarried girls." The Crown Princess spoke first.

"That's right. The Pei Tian family can't just pick anyone casually. Naturally, they have to pick one out of a hundred. There has to be something outstanding about them." The Fifth Princess took over the conversation. She responded very quickly.

"I remember that the Fifth Princess amazed the whole audience with her song Autumn Moon at the Mid-Autumn Banquet, which caused the Fifth Prince to propose to her in court. It is still a beautiful story until now!" The Third Princess agreed with a smile.

The Fifth Princess hesitated for a moment, "Compared with the Third Princess, there is still a big gap. I hope the Third Princess can give me more guidance in the future."

"Fifth brother's wife, you are too kind. We were just learning from each other." The Third Princess said politely.

Everyone at the table complimented each other. They had become more outstanding since the last incident in the Buddhist temple, so at least everyone was polite on the surface, but I didn't know how much of their sincerity was.

The banquet had just ended and they were about to go to the garden. The Liu Mansion had prepared a stage, but when Master Li heard that Princess Zhan was also there, he came over and pestered Chu Jian, insisting that he write another calligraphy work for him.

She couldn't offend him in public when they first met. After all, he was the imperial tutor and Jing Muyang's teacher. So she had to go to Master Liu's study accompanied by Liu Yiyi, Li Ruyi and Master Liu.

This old man Li had to be sent away early, so as not to delay her from going to the theater, not to mention that Jing Muyang was still waiting for her there.

The Liu Mansion is extremely large. Shangshu Liu, the old mansion, specially bought two mansions next to it and connected them to form one big mansion. There was no other way, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate Shangshu Liu's dozen sons and more than twenty grandchildren.

They went to Mr. Liu's study, where there was fine ink and paper. Tutor Li ground the ink himself and was waiting for her to write.

"Master, you said last time that you would not bother me anymore. This is the last time. If you continue to do this in the future, I really won't give you face!" Chu Jian muttered.

"For the last time, absolutely the last time, Princess Zhan, the only thing I need is your cursive script."

First meeting... After spending quite some time, I found out that old man Li was collecting stamps.

"If you had told me earlier, I would have written it all down to you at once, and you wouldn't have to ask for it again and again."

"I'm afraid you won't agree to so much at once, and I don't want others to think I'm greedy. Besides, of course I have to come to you to ask for the calligraphy, so that it will be sincere." Li Taifu mixed the ink, took out the pen and handed it over, "Princess Zhan, please!"

It’s not that I don’t want to do it when I first meet him, but this old man is really annoying. I hope that this will be a permanent solution after this time.

She took the pen, dipped it in ink, and finished it in one go. Finally, she threw the pen aside and stamped it with a seal.

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold." Liu Yiyi barely recognized it from the side. The cursive calligraphy was too wild.

"That's right, Master, I'm writing everything to you this time. You must remember what you said today and don't bother me again in the future!" Chu Jian said and quickly ran away.

"Of course, of course!" Master Li excitedly waited there for the ink to dry.

"The calligraphy of Princess Zhan is so graceful and elegant that it flows smoothly like clouds and running water. It is really a good calligraphy. A good calligraphy!" Master Liu accompanied him.

"That's right. You don't know how hard it is to get the name Princess Zhan. I went to her every day and finally got it." Imperial Tutor Li stood in front of the table and blocked Master Liu. "Just look at it, don't touch it."

"Okay! No need to touch it!" Master Liu smiled and stood to the other side. It's okay if he doesn't touch it.

Besides, the three of them were talking and laughing on their way to the garden when they first met, and suddenly Qingye grabbed her.

"how?"

"Something's going on." Qingye sensed a murderous aura. The front was still some distance from the garden, where people were gathered, and the back was also some far from the study. Fortunately, there were many people in the Liu Mansion, and therefore many rooms.

"Princess, go hide in that room first. I'll go take a look."

"Okay." Liu Yiyi led the two of them to hide in a room not far behind.

Qingye watched them enter the room before leaving to check. Soon, the sound of swords and knives was heard over there.

"Yiyi, how could such a thing happen in Liu Mansion? Your defenses are too weak."

"The Liu Mansion is heavily guarded, especially with so many distinguished guests today. My third uncle has even arranged people. I'm afraid it was the confidants who came in with the guests who were caught off guard." Li Ruyi said.

"Ah? Confidant? Whose confidant would stop you?" Chu Jian looked at Liu Yiyi, but couldn't help thinking, "Could it be that they are going to stop me?"

After all, Liu Yiyi and Li Ruyi didn't offend anyone, but she always offended people one by one.

"I don't know." Liu Yiyi was very confused. She really didn't offend anyone.

The sound of swords and sabers was getting closer.

"Ah!" Qingye cried in pain.

Chu Jian saw through the hole in the window that Qingye was stabbed. The stabbed man was a masked man in black. His skills were better than Qingye's. Qingye was almost unable to resist, and he obviously knew that they were hiding in this room.

"Princess, run!" Qingye tried to hold her back.

Chu Jian pulled the two of them out and ran, reaching into his arms, "Yiyi, is there a shortcut to the garden?"

"Yes!" Liu Yiyi pulled Chu Jian towards the corridor, shouting for help while running.

However, the stage had already been built over in the garden, and the Liu Mansion had many houses, blocking the view. Most of the servants were serving over there, so no one could hear it at all.

The masked man in black chased after the seriously injured Qingye and grabbed Li Ruyi, who was running at the end, like an eagle grabbing a chick.

"Ah, let me go!" Li Ruyi was lifted up with his feet off the ground, waving his limbs.

"Let her go!" Chu Jian and Liu Yiyi both stopped and shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry about me, just run!" Li Ruyi, who only had some kung fu skills, raised her hand and tried to catch him, but the man in black was obviously much stronger and taller, so he would not let her catch him. He threw her out and into the pool.

"Ruyi!" Liu Yiyi was startled. It was freezing cold and the pool was frozen, but it was not thick. After Li Ruyi was thrown in, an ice hole was created and he struggled inside.

"Mu Yang!" Chu Jian suddenly shouted behind the man in black.

The man in black looked back and saw nothing. When he turned back again, Chu Jian had already taken out a medicine bottle and threw it at him. The man in black raised his hand to block it, but it hit his wrist and liquid came out and wet his cuff a little.

The man in black didn't hesitate. He stepped forward, grabbed the two men and threw them into the pool, then left quickly.
