He Leans already trembling heart became even more unstable upon seeing the newcomer, and in this brief moment of distraction, Princess Yi had already released her hand. If she were to take off the bangle again and return it to her, that would be too ungrateful. All she could do was bow and say: "Thank you, Princess Yi, for bestowing such a precious gift upon me; He Liu will surely treasure it well."

  Yi Qin Wang Fei nodded her head, looking at Xue Hui among the men and women who came with that bright red, smiled and said: "Xue Si, you really didnt say wrong, He Liu guessed the riddle I made." As soon as her voice fell, that bright red and several men and women bowed to her together.

  The crowd, still in shock that the kings concubine had given a valuable gift to the illegitimate daughter of the marquis, finally came back to their senses and bowed to the figure in red: "Greetings, Duke of Yue." The small King Yi had married a secondary wife, but this Duke of Yue, who should have been stationed in the southern border, had also made a special appearance...

  In the amnesty of King Yue, Xue Huiyu smiled at He Lean with a wink, then replied to Princess Yi Qin: "Princess Yi Qin, I dont know if He Liu is directly revealing the answer or giving a hint. Even now, I still cant figure out which idiom contains the word 芜."

  At the sound, a man of about twenty-three or four years old, wearing an icy blue brocade robe, with eyebrows and eyes similar to Xue Huiyus, stood tall and handsome, with a charming smile. He suddenly let out a pfft laugh, looked deeply at the cold, pale red color beside him, which seemed to be threatening, then turned to look at the crowd who were looking at him in confusion, especially the gentle Princess Yi, and cupped his hands in greeting:

  "Sorry, I just thought of a friend who always likes to come up with some vague and seemingly unrelated riddles... At ordinary banquets, the focus of playing riddles is on not intentionally making it difficult for anyone or letting someone show off their talent, so they usually come up with some easy-to-guess riddle faces. But that person is different, either he doesnt participate, or if he does, he must be intentionally trying to make it difficult for someone."

  Yi Qin Wang Fei suddenly said with a smile: "He Liu gave a hint, Where is the horizon without fragrance."

  Xue Huiyu was taken aback, furrowing her brow in thought as she couldnt figure it out. The man in the ice-blue brocade robe beside her lifted his fan and gently tapped her head, saying, "Still cant think of it? Ill give you a hint, the most desolate place."

  Before Xue Hui could speak, a soft-voiced girl wearing a pale pink floral skirt who had come with them chimed in: "Again its where there is no fragrant grass, and again its the most desolate place. The answer must be barren land!"

  "Thats right." The Kings Consort smiled and said.

  Xue Huiyu also didnt show any dissatisfaction at being preempted, but instead smiled brightly and said: "When Da Ge mentioned the hint just now, I had already thought of it too. Unexpectedly, you were still the first to uncover the mystery, Nian Rong."

  Dongfang Niang said, "Where is the horizon without fragrant grass? Ive heard it many times before, but was misled by its superficial meaning. But after hearing Xue Shizis hint, I realized that the emphasis should be on where there is no fragrant grass and then the horizon. She looked at He Lean with a smile and said, "I had previously heard Huiyu mention Miss He Liu, but didnt expect to meet such an interesting and introspective young lady."

  "The girl praised her." He Lian said humbly, heaven knows she was just being forced to show off, repeatedly exposing herself, making her anxious and worried, now its even harder for her to retreat completely.

  "We six sisters have always been excellent." Seeing the people around looking at He Lean with different eyes, no one noticed Shao Yingxiu. Hes mother secretly gritted her teeth and suddenly took over the conversation: "As everyone knows, our old master cut off his relationship with her since her mother became a concubine that day, and said that this humble child is not allowed to enter the Bo Mansion. If it werent for Xiuer sympathizing and kneeling in front of the old master every day to beg, Liu Jie would still be in a precarious situation."

  "...He Lan is really shameless, never seen anyone as shameless as this mother and daughter duo, they cant even write the word shame properly. They were originally trying to pull her down, but now theyre clinging to her leg instead. Cling if you want, but dont forget to step on her and her mother while elevating Bao Yingxiu, its really enough to make people sick to death. If she gets what she wants, that would be strange. Just thinking of smiling back with a subtle counterattack, when suddenly a lazy voice spoke up, seemingly laughing yet not quite..."

  "But I heard that when Miss He Liu was nursing Shao Lao Ye back to health, you saw an opportunity for him to recover and tried to drive her out of the mansion, steal the credit, and deliberately bribed Old Momo to frame Miss He Liu?"
