The news of Xu Baiyu being punished quickly spread throughout the Xu Mansion like a gust of wind.

At that time, when the old lady sent a maid to inform the various courtyards that they did not need to come to pay their respects that morning, Xu Ruoyu and Xu Qingyun had a vague feeling that something had happened and it was definitely something serious.

After some inquiries and understanding of the whole story, the two of them shouted: "It's what you deserve."

He went to Hanxing Courtyard excitedly and made a lot of sarcastic remarks and gloated over Xu Baiyu's misfortune in front of him.

Xu Baiyu, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, dropped the tea bowls and medicine bowls beside him several times.

The wounds on her face and body needed to be changed. For several days, Hanxingyuan was filled with her wails of agony.

Soon it was the day for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to enter the palace.

Today, Xiao Shu accompanied Xu Xinyue into the palace.

Xu Xinyue was woken up early in the morning and dressed up in various ways by the maids and old women.

"Miss, you don't usually attend banquets, so today you have to be more formal! It would be best if you could find a son-in-law!" Xiao Shu muttered while drawing eyebrows for Xu Xinyue.

Xu Xinyue rarely looked serious, and said to Xiaoshu in a serious tone, "Xiaoshu, on ordinary days in the yard, we let you say whatever you want.

The reason I came to the palace today was because of your lively personality. I was not confident in bringing you into the palace. But I let Xiaochan take a day off today, so I had no choice but to bring you.

There are many gossipy people in the palace, and there are many eyes and ears. If you cause trouble because of your nonsense, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you. Do you know that?

There, the trouble comes from the mouth. "

Xiao Shu rarely saw her young lady speak so harshly, and she knew very well that her words were inappropriate, so she nodded solemnly and said, "Miss, don't worry, I will be very careful when I see you inside."

Xu Xinyue smiled with satisfaction and continued to put on her lip balm.

In fact, at the age of a flower, there is no need to wear heavy makeup. Just a little bit of powder and the girl's beauty and cuteness are enough to make people's heart beat.

Xu Mingxi is as bright and flamboyant as a peony.

Xu Baiyu is as gentle and charming as camellia.

Xu Xinyue is somewhere between cool and elegant and otherworldly, like an ink painting of orchids that has been put aside.

Cool, elegant, and unique.

Today, Xiao Shu made her hair into a small, heart-crossing bun, with a gold hairpin in the shape of a ginkgo leaf and a small pearl tassel on each side. In the middle of the bun was a small, delicate, gold-threaded, red agate pearl crown.

A moon-white cross-collared top with embroidered crabapple pattern is paired with a floor-length skirt with cloud-blue floral pattern. The waist is tied with a jade-colored belt, and a semi-transparent scarlet shawl embroidered with small silver flowers is draped over the arms.

The cool-colored clothes made her red lips more charming and attractive. It also made her temperament more cold and elegant. It was like the fairy Guanghan descended to the mortal world.

"Miss, you are really... so beautiful..." Xiao Shu, who is also a woman, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, staring blankly.

"Well, it's getting late, let's go."

Two carriages had been waiting at the door for a long time.

When Madam Yang saw Xu Xinyue's outfit, she looked at her meaningfully, said nothing, and got on the carriage.

Xu Xinyue and Xu Mingxi also got on the carriage behind the eldest lady.

Xu Mingxi, who is known as the "most beautiful woman in Kyoto", couldn't help but grit her teeth in her heart when she saw Xu Xinyue dressed so gorgeously.

For the first time, she re-examined Xu Xinyue from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps, this sister will be more than just "the first female businessman in Kyoto" in the future...

After getting on the carriage, Xu Xinyue leaned against the carriage with her eyes closed to rest in order to avoid Xu Mingxi's chattering, and tried her best to ignore the gazes from Xu Mingxi.

The car was silent, with only the rumbling sound of wheels echoing in the streets.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they got off the carriage and entered the palace with the officials and their wives.

First, go to Shouyang Palace and Jingyang Palace to meet the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the concubines in each palace.

After the worship, before the banquet, everyone dispersed, in groups of three or four, to look for the ladies and ladies they were familiar with.

Xu Mingxi and the first lady were nowhere to be found, leaving Xu Xinyue alone.

Xiao Shu endured it again and again, and finally grumbled softly: "The eldest lady and the second young lady are too much...Are they afraid that the young lady will steal their limelight?"

Xu Xinyue strolled around as if nothing had happened, and replied nonchalantly: "That's fine. I really can't handle such a scene. I'm happy to be alone."

"But, miss..."

"Xiao Shu, have you forgotten what I said before?"

Seeing Xu Xinyue looking slightly annoyed, Xiao Shu quickly shut up.

Xu Xianyue sighed as she walked around:

It is worthy of being an imperial palace, with pavilions, terraces, and carved railings and jade bricks.

Green tiles, red roofs, flying eaves and brackets.

Every corner is filled with the power and luxury of the superiors.

When they reached the rockery near Jianxin Lake in the Imperial Garden, a familiar soft voice came into Xu Xinyue's ears with the wind.

"This sound is..."

Following the sound, I saw a young girl with a bun on her head, wearing a litmus red double-breasted short top, a turquoise green skirt with linked beads and a round flower pattern, and a coral-colored shawl. She was blocking the way of a young man in a royal blue round-necked robe with long sleeves and a jade crown on his head.

The man had his back to Xu Xinyue, so she couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could clearly see the face of the girl who was rushing towards her.

That was Xia Xueyao, the daughter of the Minister of Guanglu Temple.

She reprimanded the man confidently, with a look of disapproval on her face: "You are such a tall and handsome man, why do you want to bully a weak and helpless raccoon? And you even stepped on its head with your boots!"

As he spoke, he pointed to a dark object about seven or eight steps away.

"It didn't move. I never thought that you, with your handsome appearance, could do something so despicable!"

Xu Xinyue looked in the direction of her finger, and when she saw the dark-colored "raccoon slave" she mentioned, her eyelids jumped. Without waiting for the girl to continue speaking, she lifted her skirt and quickly stepped forward to stop her:

"Yao Yao!"

Xia Xueyao was suddenly interrupted. She looked up and saw a beautiful figure running towards her. When she got closer, she recognized her with surprise and called out excitedly, "Yueyue!"

Xu Xinyue didn't have time to greet her. She turned to the man, stopped Xia Xueyao behind her, and explained, "Sir, I'm really sorry. Yaoyao didn't mean to offend you. She..."

Without waiting for Xu Xinyue to finish, Xia Xueyao pouted and said unhappily: "Yueyue, why are you so unlucky? It's obviously him..."

Xu Xinyue sighed, bowed to the man apologetically, and then pulled Xia Xueyao to the "Li Nu" she was pointing at.

Xia Xueyao was immediately surprised, then reluctantly squatted down and touched it to confirm, then he laughed dryly.

The man in brocade robe then approached with a joking look on his face, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Did you solve the girl's doubts?"

At this moment, Xia Xueyao wished she could dive into the lake.

He tried to save face by saying, "Actually, this stone...it also...resembles a raccoon, ha...haha..."

Quiet, surprisingly quiet...

The situation became awkward.

Xu Xinyue couldn't bear to see this, so she spoke first to break the silence, bowing and apologizing on behalf of Xia Xueyao and the man: "I'm really sorry, sir. It's not that Yaoyao did it on purpose, but she really has something to hide, so she misunderstood you. I hope you won't..."

Before he could finish his words, Xia Xueyao pulled his sleeve, stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, sir... I have an eye disease... I didn't see clearly and spoke rudely to you. I apologize to you here."

A man's puzzled voice came from above my head: "...eye disease?"

Xia Xueyao lowered her head in guilt, not daring to look at him, and answered: "I have had eye problems since I was very young, and I can't see things clearly... I can't tell friends from relatives beyond three steps... I can't tell men from women beyond six steps... Fifteen steps... then..."

"Just how?"

The man asked curiously.

"Can't tell the difference between humans and animals..." Xia Xueyao spoke the last four words in a lower and lower voice, with her head drooping even lower.

quiet……

There was another eerie silence.

The man held his forehead helplessly, but still kindly reminded: "Forget it... I won't bother with you about this matter. The palace is in chaos, so it's better for you not to act alone.

"Thank you for your advice, sir. I understand. We will leave first then."

"Well, let's go."

The two little girls walked away from this embarrassing place hand in hand.

After the two figures disappeared, the man couldn't help laughing and walked away.
