After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Many wives of officials were waiting with their children at the palace gate to be searched, as they had to be checked before entering the palace.

This became the best time for them to gossip, because Chu Xi had just followed Prince Yan back from Yunzhou and was becoming famous.

Even if this incident had not happened, the eyes of all the rich ladies in the capital could not be taken away from the beautiful androgynous Chu Xi. The Ninth Princess was not the only one who had been eyeing this piece of Tang Monk's meat for so many years.

But Zhou Qingmin is a princess after all, and the only legitimate princess born to the queen. She is the apple of the queen's eye and her noble status is absolutely incomparable to that of other rich ladies.

Now that the Ninth Princess is here, who would dare to express their feelings for Chu Xi, unless they are clearly trying to challenge the Ninth Princess?

Here's the problem. Last night, Chu Xi participated in Jiang Zhenyao's marriage competition and defeated Jiang Zhenyao. Who in the capital doesn't know about this?

Many people were saying privately that Jiang Zhenyao was so bold that she even dared to compete with the Ninth Princess for her husband. She was indeed the daughter of a general and was braver than most people.

The most important thing is that Chu Xi was later assassinated together with Prince Yan, and Jiang Zhenyao helped them. This made many people think that Jiang Zhenyao is very likely to become the wife of Prince Chu.

After all, this move can be regarded as saving Chu Xi, and the elders in the Marquis' Mansion will probably be more partial to Jiang Zhenyao.

Many officials' wives already knew in their hearts that it would be difficult for their daughters to marry the Prince of Chu, but this did not stop them from watching the show.

People's gossiping heart is always so strong. No matter what era it is, people's curiosity can never be suppressed.

Arriving at the palace gate, Chu Xi got off the car. Under the gaze of everyone, she walked towards the women's carriage. After Chu Wenbai helped Yun down, she stepped forward and stretched out her hand.

Yun Qingyin gave Chu Xi a knowing smile, put her hand on him, and slowly walked down. The two Sun sisters behind her were helped down by the maids.

Sun Yushui was also slightly surprised by Chu Xi's behavior. During the time they had been living in the mansion, her cousin had just returned from Yunzhou yesterday, and even after returning, he had not spoken a few words to them.

During the day, Prince Yan and my cousin's friends came to the mansion one after another. They couldn't even find a chance to ask about my cousin's injuries, let alone... my cousin Qingyin.

She felt that her cousin's action was a bit abrupt, but she couldn't guess his intention for a moment.

On the contrary, Sun Yurui, who hugged her arm as soon as she got out of the car and giggled softly, looked like she was there to watch a show, with teasing and surprise in her eyes.

Sun Yurui's behavior was indeed more in line with what a normal person should do, except that it was a little too much. Her excited eyes seemed to be glowing.

"Sister, did my cousin say that to my cousin Qingyin..." Before Sun Yurui could finish her words, Sun Yusui glared at her and whispered, "What kind of place is this? Why are you talking so softly? Are you afraid that others can't hear you?"

She spoke in a low, deliberately low voice, and in a hurry, fearing that if she was a little late, Sun Yurui's words would be heard by other people with ulterior motives.

Sun Yurui quickly reacted and shut up.

While they were waiting at the door, the Sun family's carriage arrived. It was Madam Sun who came to attend the palace banquet. The old lady wanted to come, but Lord Sun was still somewhat rational in this regard and knew that his old mother was not suitable to enter the palace.

As soon as Mrs. Sun got off the car, she saw her two daughters whom she hadn't seen for some time. Their faces were all beaming with joy. The younger daughter even lifted her skirt and trotted towards Mrs. Sun, holding her hand and acting coquettishly.

Mrs. Sun smiled helplessly. The two daughters looked like they were doing well. She patted Sun Yurui's hand and said, "How can a girl run away like this?"

Sun Yurui knew her mother was just talking, so she continued to act like a spoiled child without any fear, "Mom, don't you miss me? You scold me as soon as you see me. I've been missing you for a long time."

Mother Sun shook her head helplessly and tapped Sun Yurui's forehead with her finger, "You clever bastard, stand still. Don't do this when you enter the palace later!"

Sun Yusui walked over slowly. She had already reached the age of 15, and her grandmother had reminded her of the rules every day. She also said that if she went out without following the rules, her husband would say that her parents had not taught her well. Therefore, she could not be as free, innocent and romantic as her younger sister.

"mother."

"You look good." Mother Sun carefully examined her eldest daughter's face. She had the same thought when her elder sister wanted to pick someone up before.

During that time...the atmosphere at home was not very good, and her mother-in-law was targeting her and her daughter. Her sister took the two sisters away, and she actually felt more relaxed and at ease.

Chu Xi followed his mother to the front of Sun's mother and her daughter. Yun Qingyin followed on Yun's left and Chu Xi on the right. Many people saw this and were secretly curious about the identity of the woman next to Yun.

Not only did Chu Qibai help her get off the car, but she also stayed by Chu Qibai's mother's side. They were so close. Could she be... the cousin who was rumored to be marrying Chu Qibai?

"Qibai greets his aunt." Chu Xi bowed as a junior.

When Sun's mother saw Chu Xi, her eyes lit up and she nodded with a smile, "Good child, you have grown up so big now, with both talent and beauty. Sister is so lucky."

Yun chuckled, "You have two caring daughters who are no worse than me. Yu Sui is dignified and intelligent, while Yu Rui is innocent, romantic, and pure-minded. I envy you for having two such good daughters."

Chu Xi looked at Yun Qingyin. Out of guilt for Yun Qingyin, she instinctively thought that Yun Qingyin's health was not good. It was windy at night, and Yun Qingyin had dressed up specially today...

It looked beautiful, but she was a little worried that Yun Qingyin wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Go and take off your daughter's cloak." Chu Xi turned his gaze to Yun Qingyin's personal maid and gave instructions.

It’s nothing, the cousin is just concerned about his cousin. Besides, Yun Qingyin’s health is indeed weak and she needs good care.

The problem was that the news that Chu Qibai had a cousin who was about to get engaged had already spread throughout the capital.

Even though she defeated Jiang Zhenyao in the son-in-law competition last night and briefly diverted some people's attention, it still couldn't change their curiosity about this cousin.

There was a hint of surprise in Sun's mother's eyes. When her elder sister came to pick them up, she said that she wanted to avoid the arranged marriage by the royal family, but she was afraid that it would affect Qingyin's reputation, so she needed to take the sisters Yurui and Yusui to live together.

Her sister spoke so frankly. She knew at that time that neither Yusui nor Yurui could marry Qibai. It was not a matter of family background.

Sun's mother herself had never thought of letting her daughter marry Qi Bai. The status of the prince of the Marquis's mansion was noble, and he had his aunt as the future mother-in-law, so it was a good marriage no matter how you looked at it.

But she knew one thing, Qibai was the only male in the Marquis's Mansion, which meant that all the burdens of the future would be on Qibai's shoulders.

All big families value inheritance. She didn't want her daughter to follow the same path as herself. Even though he was her nephew, she had never considered marrying him.
