The First Genocide's Grudge

  The Spring Festival is just around the corner.

  On this day, Shang Li Tian left the palace early in the morning to pray for blessings with his ministers. The concubines in the palace all dressed themselves up like flowers and waited eagerly at the gate, competing with each other to catch a glimpse of Shang Li Tian.

  Kōyō Palace

  "Saintess, you really don't plan on going?" asked Xiaoxian as she helped Meng'er tidy up her dress.

  Mei'er pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said: "Little fairy, those women have all gone. If I don't go, it might arouse other people's suspicion. Let's do this: we'll first go to Shui Xian Garden, then head to Hou Jun Men to take a look."

  "That holy girl, do you need to dress up again? I just saw those princesses all dressed up so elegantly, these pearl hairpins, let me put them on for you!" Little Fairy said, holding the glittering golden pearl hairpin and about to insert it into Mei'er's hair.

  Mei'er had already seen herself in the mirror, twisted her waist and dodged to one side: "Little fairy, you know I don't like wearing these things, let's just forget it, I'm fine like this!"

  "But, Holy Maiden, isn't your lip color a bit too light?" Little Fairy thought that since they were going to see the Emperor, she should dress up more gorgeously.

  Although she thought this slightly rotund master looked better with powder on his face.

  Mei'er lifted her skirt and twirled around in front of the mirror, smiling: "I think this is fine, why do I have to dress up like that, it's too showy!" In fact, she wanted to say it was too tacky.

  "Alright, alright, Holy Maiden, you're naturally beautiful and stunning enough to captivate the country without even needing makeup. If you were to dress up a bit more, I reckon those palace ladies would have their eyes popping out of their heads!" Little Immortal had no choice but to obey her master.

  Just as Mei and the others were hurrying to Shuixiang Garden, they unexpectedly ran into someone.

  "Princess Mei Yu?" Mei'er recognized the woman in front of her at a glance.

  "Huh? You're the princess, the Xixia Holy Maiden, who's just been betrothed to my third brother. How do you know me?" Princess Mei Yu blinked her beautiful eyes, looking bewildered. She didn't remember ever meeting Mei Er before, and she had only guessed Mei Er's identity from her appearance and attire.

  She is usually very proud of herself, but strangely, when she sees Mei Er, she doesn't have her usual arrogance.

  "Oh, I've seen the princess from afar before, only she didn't notice me at that time!" Mei'er reacted quickly, it was her first time seeing Princess Meiyu, but Wu Chen'er's memory had an image of Princess Meiyu, so earlier she blurted out.

  Thinking of that day on the way here, she met Ah Yu, and she couldn't help but have an extra thought. According to what Ah Yu said that day, the beautiful Jade Princess in front of her should be Qiuyue, the palace maid by the side of the Beautiful Jade Princess.

  These days, she has also intentionally or unintentionally heard people mention the beautiful Jade Princess, saying that she is extremely arrogant and overbearing, but this doesn't seem to match at all.

  Mei'er was still daydreaming when the beautiful Jade Princess intimately grasped Mei'er's arm: "Holy Maiden, are you going to the Water Immortal Garden? Let's go together!"

  "Is Princess Mei Yu going to Shui Xian Garden as well?" Isn't that a place where only the imperial concubines go? What is Princess Mei Yu doing there?

  As soon as she mentioned Shuixian Garden, Princess Meiyu's eyes sparkled: "Yes! I want to go there to see a very important person!"

  It turns out that she went there to meet her lover, and that lover might be one of the hostages, unexpectedly favored by the only princess of the Shang State, it seems that this hostage is quite fortunate.

  However, Princess Mei Yu's next words made Mei Er immediately understand why she was so friendly to her.

  "Saintly girl, I'm telling you, I went there just to see the second prince of Western Xia, Xia Jin Xuan. I like him, but my third brother won't let me marry him, it's so infuriating!" Princess Mei Yu's face was both shy and angry.

  "Xuan Gege can win the princess's favor, that is his good fortune, and also the good fortune of the entire Western Xia. However, with the current situation between the two countries... otherwise, you would have become a beautiful legend." She should be calling Xuan Gege "brother".

  "You, you call Second Prince Ji Xuan 'brother'?" Princess Mei Yu's eyebrows furrowed in confusion and jealousy.

  She was holding Mei'er's hand, and Mei'er naturally knew what she was thinking in her heart. She secretly smiled to herself, but her face remained expressionless: "Princess, you don't know that I grew up with the Crown Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince as playmates; they're like my own brothers."

  It was this sentence that dispelled the doubts of the beautiful Princess Yu in front of him, and the jealousy in her heart disappeared instantly.

  "That saintly girl, can you let me have a few words with the second prince later?" Every time she just looked at him from afar, his expressionless face made her not dare to get close.

  "If I could see him, I would definitely let you talk to him and at least let him know your true heart!" Mei'er said very sincerely. To find out whether the beautiful Jade Princess in front of her was real or fake, she first had to gain her trust.

  "Really! That's great, thank you, Holy Girl!" Princess Mei Yu was so happy when she heard that Mei Er was willing to help that she almost jumped for joy.

  Shuixian Garden, formerly known as Siyi, was filled with narcissus flowers. The garden gate was heavily guarded and only those with an imperial edict could enter or exit. Mei'er didn't have one, but Princess Meiyu did, so she also entered smoothly.

  It's almost another world there, surrounded by narcissus flowers. The feeling is hard to describe, it seems to make people temporarily forget all their worries.

  Some protons are kneeling with their own servants facing the place that is probably their own country, knocking their heads and chanting, presumably praying for blessings for their own people.

  Mei'er's gaze slowly swept across the faces of those people, she hadn't seen Xia Jin Xuan yet, but the original Western Xia Holy Maiden was acquainted with Xia Jin Xuan, so she had to recognize him before he recognized her, otherwise, when the time came, she would definitely reveal a flaw.

  "Huh? Why isn't he here today?" Princess Mei Yu had been searching around non-stop since she entered the garden, but couldn't find the person she wanted to see.

  "He might come out a bit later." The Water Fairy Garden is right next to the Palace of the Heir, just one door away. I reckon he hasn't come out yet.

  This Water Fairy Garden is only half the place where those princes are active, and the other half, they have no right to enter, because this side is where the palace's princesses often come to play.

  In order to prevent accidents from happening, therefore, the proton cannot come into contact with anyone in the palace.

  "Who is it? Ah, it's the Holy Maiden. Why aren't you waiting at the palace gate for His Majesty?" A sharp and piercing voice suddenly came from the side, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

  Mei didn't need to turn around, she knew who it was. She cursed silently: This woman is really a lingering ghost, able to run into her everywhere.

  "Ah, it's you, Consort Li. How's your foot? Has the pain gone already?" This woman always appears at the most inopportune moments, how annoying.

  As soon as that matter was mentioned, Li Fei's powdered face suddenly changed: "Hmph! This palace is here to see the narcissus today and doesn't want to be on familiar terms with you. However, a good dog does not block the way, don't block this palace's path."

  Her mouth was really cheap! Mei's eyebrows secretly clenched, seeing Li Fei coming towards her with a sideways face. Not only did she not dodge, but instead welcomed it, and at the moment she collided with Li Fei, she suddenly leaned back, as if she had been knocked open, and fell straight into the pool beside her.

  "Ah!" Her decibel was quite high!

  "Saintly Girl!"

  Xiaoxian and Princess Mei Yu also screamed almost simultaneously!

  Just then, a white shadow as swift as lightning suddenly jumped over and quickly caught the falling Mei'er, lightly tapping her foot on the ground, spinning around and putting Mei'er down by the pool.

  Although Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway, Mei'er thought that if she didn't fall into the water, her little conspiracy would still succeed. Let's take a look at who caught her so quickly!

  Hmm! This hug seems to be very warm, Mei'er is a little reluctant to leave, just raised her head, Mei'er was stunned by those eyes! Ah Nan! It's actually Ah Nan's eyes!

  But as she took a closer look at his appearance, her blood also froze instantly, and it seemed that even her heart skipped a beat.
