Ye Rou had just returned to the Lu residence and was about to walk through the door when she saw Lu Xiangzhi running out at lightning speed. He shouted at her, "Yao Yao, you came at the right time. Hurry up and stop Little Prince. I'm going to Old Man Xu's place. The exam is next month, I don't want to play with Little Prince."
"Lu Xiangzhi, you stop!" Mo Rongyi's exasperated voice came from behind.
Lu Xiangzhi had no time to talk to Ye Zhen and immediately jumped into her carriage. "Hurry, hurry, go to Old Xu's house."
When Mo Rongyi ran to the door, he only saw the back of the carriage.
"What do you want my brother to do?" Ye Zhen asked, amused. "He's sweating all over."
"Where did Lu Xiangzhi go?" Mo Rongyi gasped.
Ye Zhen said, "My brother is going to take the exam. He has to study hard these days. Don't ask him to play."
"I can't find anyone else. If I could find someone else, would I need to look for your brother?" Mo Rongyi stamped his feet. "If Lu Xiangzhi doesn't go, I'll look for your other brothers."
"Tell me, what do you want my brother to do?" Ye Zhen took his hand. "My brothers are not free. You don't have to look for them."
Mo Rongyi almost jumped up frantically. "Then who should I ask for help? I've lost so much face. Who will help me get back my face?"
"What face did you lose?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Yesterday, I played cuju with the eighth brother and I lost." Mo Rongyi said, "Those people are worse than me when it comes to riding horses. How could they beat the eighth brother?"
Ye Zhen said angrily, "The eighth prince is much older than you. It doesn't matter if you lose to him."
Mo Rongyi said, "I don't know where the eighth brother found this little boy. He's younger than me, but he beat several of us. I'm not convinced!"
"Hey, don't be so concerned about winning or losing. If you lose this time, you can win it back next time." Ye Zhen patted Mo Rongyi on the shoulder, thinking that he was a child throwing a tantrum.
"I must beat them!" Mo Rongyi said firmly. "They used to make fun of me for not being qualified to play with them. Am I not qualified now? I want to beat them once to prove that I can beat them. "
Ye Zhen had already planned to leave, but when she heard this, she stopped. "Eighth Wangye used to bully you. Does he dare to bully you now?"
Mo Rongyi snorted. "Now, they don't dare to bully me openly, but they still look down on me in their hearts. It's not just Eighth Prince, but the other members of the imperial family … They look down on me and Mother."
"When are you going to compete with them again?" Ye Zhen knew that those people looked down on the Empress Dowager's background and knew how many grievances Mo Rongyi had suffered in the past. Now, those people did not bully him openly as they used to. Instead, they used another method to tell Mo Rongyi that he was not worthy of today's status.
"In three days, whoever wins will get the Rainbow Satin Silver Flower." Mo Rongyi said.
Ye Rou nodded. "Okay, I'll help you get back at him in three days."
"You?" Mo Rongyi's face was full of doubt. "You're a girl, how are you going to help me get back at him?"
"In short, I have a way." Ye Zhen glared at him. "You still look down on girls?"
Mo Rongyi asked suspiciously, "Do you really have a way?"
"Who am I? I'm your sister now." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Go back to the palace, see you in three days."
"Then I'll believe you this time!" Mo Rongyi nodded doubtfully and reluctantly went back with the palace attendants.
Ye Zhen watched him leave with a smile, then went to the upper room to see Old Madam Lu.
"Oh, Princess Furong has arrived. Should we kneel to greet her?" Seeing Ye Zhen appear, Madam Lu immediately stood up and asked with a shrill smile.
Listening to the jealousy in Madam Wang's tone, Ye Zhen just smiled. "Second aunt, there is no need to be polite. It's not too late for you to kneel outside."
Madam Wang curled her lips. "After all, the identity of a princess is different. Even your mother … has to kneel to you."
Pei shi looked at her indifferently and ignored her sharp and unkind words.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Since ancient times, filial piety has been the greatest. Even if I am rich and powerful, is my mother not my mother and my grandmother not my grandmother?"
"Whatever the princess says is right." Madam Wang snorted softly.
Old Madam Lu looked at her faintly and led Ye Zhen to sit beside her. "The little prince is here. Have you seen him outside?"
"Yes, he has gone back." Ye Zhen smiled.
"Your second uncle is leaving for Jinkou City tomorrow. Today, our family will see him off." Old Madam Lu said.
Lu Shixun was going back to Jinkou City, so it was time for Man Qin to start preparing to deal with him.
Lu Jing stood behind Madam Wang and looked at Ye Zhen with a somewhat obscure look in her eyes. She thought that she was not much different from Lu Yaoyao, but now that Lu Yaoyao had become a princess, there was a gap between them that she could never catch up with. How could she not be jealous?
Just as they were talking happily, a few noises suddenly came from outside the door.
Old Madam Lu frowned and asked Chen Zhao to go out and see what happened.
Before Chen Zhao went out, she saw Lu Shiming striding in. "Mother, something happened to Yan Zhi."
Ye Zhen's heart suddenly jumped. Was Lu Lingzhi really injured? Who hurt him? Was it Tian Jiu or the rebels?
Old Madam Lu clenched her hands tightly. "What happened to Yan Zhi?"
"Yan Zhi was seriously injured on his way back. The emperor has sent a doctor to treat him." Lu Shiming told everyone at home the news he had received from the court today.
Seriously injured? Old Madam Lu staggered and almost fainted. Fortunately, Ye Zhen was quick to hold her up.
"Grandmother, take care." Ye Zhen held Old Madam Lu and whispered.
"Wasn't the rebellion of the western vassal state suppressed? How could there be an assassin on the road? " Old Madam Lu only felt a burst of darkness in front of her eyes. If something happened to Lu Lingzhi, who else could the Lu family rely on?
Lu Shiming said, "It is said that the Western Vassal Lord's trusted aide is coming to rescue people. Now that the assassin has been arrested, everything will be clear after interrogation."
Ye Zhen was shocked. If Hong Ling hadn't said that Tian Jiu had gone to the western vassal state, she would probably have clapped her hands and rejoiced. But now, she could not rest assured, fearing that the assassin who was caught was Tian Jiu.
"Is Yan Zhi seriously injured?" Old Madam Lu asked hurriedly.
Lu Shiming did not dare to say that Lu Lingzhi was now unconscious, otherwise, he was afraid that the old madam would not be able to bear the shock. "With Doctor Qi personally treating Yan Zhi, there should be no problem. Mother, you don't have to worry."
"How can I not worry …" Old Madam Lu cried anxiously.
