After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

Daughters were cultivated with great care to become ladies with outstanding virtues, speech, appearance, poetry, calligraphy and painting. The noble families expected that these daughters would one day be selected into the emperor's harem, become concubines, give birth to princes, and even compete for the position of the queen mother or the crown prince.

Direct descendants of the family would either enter the four major academies to read the Four Books and Five Classics and ancient classics; or go to the frontier training grounds to practice martial arts and military tactics.

In the future, they will inherit the family glory and continue the family lineage.

But it just so happened that the one that the noble families and officials wanted to welcome was the empress.

These legitimate descendants, who were placed with high hopes by the family, could no longer enter the court or go to the battlefield as usual, but had to take over the burden of their sisters and enter the palace.

A Bao could imagine how depressed the heads of the powerful families must be.

Thinking of this, A Bao looked through the small gap in the gauze curtain of the sedan chair towards the Luoxue Pavilion beside the Kunming Lake in the distance. Xuanyuan Fengran was standing in the pavilion, and he had been standing there for a long time.

In her previous life, when she loved Pei Guichen with all her heart and eyes, she still succumbed to the situation and married five concubines. Although it was only a nominal status, there were still frequent fights for favor in the harem.

In this life, if she wants Xuanyuan Fengran, should she still marry these five concubines?

A Bao looked at Xuanyuan Fengran in the Luoxue Pavilion and fell into worried thought.

Xuan Changdu waited for the princess's response for a long time, so he bravely looked up. The first thing he saw was the princess's round and white fingertips hooked on the gently lifted gauze curtain.

As for Her Royal Highness the Princess hiding behind the gauze curtain, he could only vaguely see the outline of her cloud-like hair and golden hairpins. She was truly as beautiful as a sculpture of ice and jade, and her beauty was as beautiful as a flower in the clouds.

He was so absorbed in watching that the princess called his name.

"Xuan Changdu, it's good that you came to me and confessed your worries."

A Bao said in a gentle voice, "Since you don't want to be selected, I don't want to force you."

Such a good thing hit Xuan Changdu on the head, and he was dizzy.

It’s that simple, is it?

He was also worried that if he declined the election, it would embarrass Her Royal Highness the Princess and lead to humiliation and revenge from Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Seeing Xuan Changdu in a daze, A Bao couldn't help but pursed his lips and chuckled, "Don't worry, with your talent, Prince Xuan, you will definitely be able to protect the Pingyue Palace and realize your ambitions."

"I should thank you for this reminder."

A Bao did not hate Xuan Changdu. On the contrary, she subconsciously still regarded this gentle and loyal Prince of Pingyue as an ally.

She did not hide it and glanced at Xuanyuan Fengran in Luoxue Pavilion inconspicuously.

Xuanyuan Fengran was also looking at her, the thoughts in his dark eyes were complicated and difficult to discern.

Ah Bao's eyes warmed up, and he smiled at him and said softly, "Prince Xuan is single, but I have someone in my heart."

"My wish has always been to stand shoulder to shoulder with my beloved."

Ah Bao knew that Xuanyuan Fengran couldn't hear her because they were too far apart, but she still wanted to say, "If I am lucky enough, regardless of the status or the fact, I hope that he will be my only husband."

Xuan Changdu felt inexplicably heartbroken.

When the princess talked about the man of her heart, she was no different from a little girl in the boudoir. She was full of joy and even her tone was particularly affectionate.

He suddenly remembered the recent rumor that the princess really liked Pei Guichen.

"I wish that Your Highness Princess will get what she wants soon." Xuan Changdu glanced at the golden hairpin tassels on the princess's temples again, and suddenly lowered his eyes, "You and Master Pei will grow old together."

Po was startled.

If she hadn't known that Xuan Changdu had no grudge against her, she would have almost thought that Xuan Changdu hated her.

The fact that she and Pei Guichen grew old together was not a blessing but a curse, and the most brutal tragedy in her life.

At this time, the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras came from the Yuji Palace, which was pleasant to the ears.

It’s time for the plum blossom viewing banquet to begin.

Xuan Changdu consciously took a step back and respectfully escorted the princess' sedan chair away.

Inside the sedan, A Bao was still looking at Xuanyuan Fengran in Luoxue Pavilion, and he looked back quietly, as if thinking about something.

The shadows of the towering old trees beside Kunming Lake swayed, and the snow flew in the gaps between the branches. The cold light of the snow reflected on Xuanyuan Fengran allowed her to see clearly what Xuanyuan Fengran was holding in his hand.

It was the jade ring she gave him.

Black jade is wrapped with silver threads and engraved with a flying phoenix.

This scene was like a stone falling into Abao's heart, causing ripples.

What was Xuanyuan Fengran planning? Was he going to throw away the jade ring? Or was he finally willing to wear it?

A Bao stroked the hand warmer, and after a moment, he told the maid beside him, "It's cold, Hong Xiu, take this hand warmer to Uncle Feng Ran."

After a moment of silence, A Bao instructed again: "Tell the emperor's uncle for me."

"As an elder, why don't you come and have a say in A-bao's selection? Your eyes are sharp and you will definitely be able to choose the best husband for A-bao."

Hongxiu said yes and left.

A Bao took out the jade button from his sleeve depressedly, lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Since Xuanyuan Fengran was willing to sacrifice his life for her, why did he never reveal a single bit of his feelings in his entire previous life?
