After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

On the day of the outing, when Yue Ran helped her get up, the dark circles under Nan Yuan's eyes were immediately obvious.

"Girl, are you having a nightmare again?"

Nan Yuan shook her head, washed up, and sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror with lifeless eyes.

"Please put some makeup on me."

She has important things to do today, so she naturally cannot have such a tired face.

Yue Ran sighed and stopped asking questions, just concentrating on tying her hair and putting on makeup for her.

Nan Yuan never used powder when she put on makeup. The best powder in the world could not compare to her skin as white and tender as a peeled lychee, and powder would only ruin her beautiful complexion.

In order to cover up the light blue under her eyes, Yue Ran had to carefully apply a thin layer of powder under her eyes.

After packing everything, Nan Yuan got on the carriage sent by the princess's mansion and went to the mansion in the eastern suburbs.

When Nan Yuan arrived, there were already groups of young men and ladies from prominent families chatting with each other.

"Who is that? He's so handsome."

The young man in light blue suddenly looked at Nan Yuan and exclaimed.

The chatter in the crowd suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their eyes to Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan didn't want to attract attention, so she was about to say hello politely and leave, but unexpectedly she heard a familiar voice.

"Oh, who was I thinking was so arrogant? It turns out to be the only daughter of the fourth-rank imperial physician, Miss Nan Yuan!"

Nan Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Yitang looking at her with disdain.

Lin Yitang, the legitimate daughter of a second-rank official, is the leader among the noble ladies in the capital.

In her previous life, Nan Yuan didn't know what she had done to displease her, so she took the lead in asking the noble ladies to isolate Nan Yuan.

If that were all, Nan Yuan wouldn't have remembered it for so long.

Later, in order to enter the Prince's Mansion as a concubine, Lin Yitang turned to Chu Yunni. On the one hand, she instigated Chu Yunni to deal with her, and on the other hand, she said in front of Gu Jingheng that she was disrespectful to Chu Yunni.

In other words, Lin Yitang played an indispensable role in her being exposed in her previous life.

Nan Yuan took a deep breath and calmed down the uneasy emotions in her heart.

But it's all in the past. She will never have anything to do with Gu Jingheng again in this life, and naturally she won't have too much dealings with Lin Yitang.

She knew she was not welcome, so she did not move forward and nodded at her: "Miss Lin San, how are you?"

Then he left the crowd, found a secluded place, and thought about his plan.

Lin Yitang looked at Nan Yuan's departing back, and noticed that the eyes of several young masters around him also followed Nan Yuan, and he was furious.

“Fox charmer.” Lin Yitang cursed, then shouted at the crowd, “Look, look, what’s the point? She’s already been engaged, and she’s not yours even if you look!”

Before he finished speaking, a few shy young men lowered their heads and dispersed.

"Sister Lin, don't be angry. Even if Nan Yuan is pretty, her family background is not good. At best, she can find a husband in a poor and powerless royal palace. She is no match for you, sister. You will enter the Eastern Palace in the future.

By then, my elder sister will be the ruler and I will be the subject. I won’t even be worthy of carrying my elder sister’s shoes!”

A girl in green comforted her.

These words touched Lin Yitang's heart, she curled her lips and said, "That's right, my father and brother are important officials of the dynasty, how can a mere imperial physician compare to them?

Also, don't compare me with her in the future, it will tarnish my reputation."

"Sister is right." Everyone responded.

"Sister Lin, did Her Royal Highness the Princess invite us here today just for an outing?

Why hasn't Her Royal Highness the Princess been seen for so long?"

Lin Yitang glanced at her, and proudly brushed the hairpins in her hair, saying: "Oh! How can it be just for fun? That's..."

Everyone leaned over and asked, "Why is that?"

"You are the only ones who know about this kind of thing?" Lin Yitang snorted coldly and did not intend to tell them.

Everyone was embarrassed and looked a little bad.

It was the green-dressed girl who came out to change the subject and asked, "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come. I was at the end of the queue at the last banquet and didn't even see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin Yitang glanced at them with a haughty look and sneered, "Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is as idle as you are and only knows how to instigate gossip everywhere?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, and he only took time out to attend a banquet because of His Royal Highness the Princess. To meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the second time... you might as well just have a long dream!"

This time even the girl in green shut her mouth in disappointment, letting her offend people.

Although Nan Yuan was far away, she could still hear some of the sound. Lin Yitong had always been concerned about Gu Jingheng's whereabouts. In addition, her father and brother were both important officials, so the news she received should not be false.

"call--"

Gu Jingheng would not come over, and she finally felt relieved after being worried for a long time. She could concentrate on doing her own things.

"Miss, Master Xie will be here soon." Yue Ran lowered her head and whispered a few words in Nan Yuan's ear.

Nan Yuan frowned, hiding the emotions in her eyes, stood up, and walked towards the path to the side.

The master and servant stopped when they reached a pavilion.

After about an incense stick of time, Nan Yuan heard Bai Zhi's voice coming from the path ahead: "Thank you, my lord!"

"Give me the book."

Nan Yuan took the book from Yue Ran's hand and covered her face with it to block her view.

"Baizhi, you are here now, is your cousin also nearby?"

Xie Luochen asked questions as he walked.

As soon as I stepped onto the path, I vaguely saw a girl sitting in the pavilion. I thought she must be the person I was looking for.

So Xie Luochen walked towards the pavilion, and the girl's figure gradually became clearer.

At that time, Nan Yuan was leaning there quietly with a book covering her face. A breeze blew, and the hem of the gauze she was wearing fluttered softly.

"Miss, the prince is here." Yue Ran reminded.

Nan Yuan slowly took the book away, smiled calmly at Xie Luochen, and called out, "Cousin."

Nan Yuan had inquired about Xie Luochen's preferences in advance. He liked elegant girls, preferably those who were well-read in poetry and books, and those who were good at speaking were the best.

That was why she devised this plan, covering her face with a book, which first piqued his interest, while also leaving him with the subconscious impression of being well-read.

Nan Yuan is not a pedantic or stupid person. She can use some small tricks to achieve her goals.

After all, she was going to spend her life with Xie Luochen in the future, so it was better to have some good feelings for him than to be disgusted with each other all the time.

Xie Luochen looked at her, and the scroll with Nan Yuan's face painted on it that his mother gave him appeared in his mind. The woman in the scroll gradually came to life before his eyes.

When they got engaged, he had seen a portrait of his fiancée and knew that Nan Yuan was pretty. But when he saw it today, he realized that the portrait didn't even depict Nan Yuan to even one-tenth of her beauty.

He stared at Nan Yuan in a daze and even forgot to respond.

While he was looking at Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan was also looking at him.

Xie Luochen was wearing a green shirt, with a jade belt of the same color tied around his waist. His long hair was tied behind his head with a jade crown. He had sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and a smile on the corners of his lips. He looked as gentle as jade, and looked like a young man from an aristocratic family.

However, Nan Yuan saw that he looked a little pale, and she remembered that her mother had said that Xie Luochen was born prematurely, so she thought that he must be a little weak.

However, Nan Yuan thought that based on Xie Luochen's temperament, even if the two of them had no feelings for each other after marriage, they would probably treat each other with respect and would not become a couple of enemies.
