After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

This time the palace's proposal of marriage was very grand.

Following behind the old princess and the eldest princess were more than a dozen boxes of betrothal gifts escorted by the Tiance Army under Lin Xun. All the way from the palace to the Xie family, they attracted a lot of onlookers from the people.

When they heard that the Prince Regent had gone to the Xie family to propose marriage, everyone was shocked...

It was no longer a secret in Kyoto that the eldest daughter of the fallen Yong'an Marquis family was now living in the Xiao family.

Thinking back to the time when the emperor granted the marriage, I wonder how many people envied Marquis Yong'an's good luck.

But the Yong'an Marquisate only enjoyed its glory for a few months before the Yong'an Marquis committed a crime and was exiled. Ye Jin, who was newly recognized by the Yong'an Marquisate, was demoted from the principal wife to a concubine. That was because Ye Jin had the support of the Empress Dowager behind her.

Not to mention Xiao Xuetang...

Rumors abounded in Kyoto that Xiao Xuetang was a calamity that brought misfortune to her father and mother, but the Regent Prince not only wanted to fulfill the engagement, but also held it in such a grand manner?!

Just as the motorcade of the Prince Regent's Palace was joyfully passing through the long street, Ye Jin came out of the side door of the Marquis' Palace in a sedan chair. The two parties unexpectedly met on the same street...

In a small wedding sedan, Ye Jin did not wear a phoenix coronet or bridal robe, but only a new light red brocade skirt. She put on the golden hairpin only after threatening to commit suicide. The hairpin shone brightly in the scattered sunlight, but it could not illuminate the haze in Ye Jin's heart.

The first time she got married in her life, she married Lin Shaoshu as she wished, but she didn't expect it to be so frustrating!

but……

She has been recorded in the Xiao family tree. No matter whether she is a concubine or a principal wife, as long as she can enter the Third Prince's Palace, she is confident that she can become the next Queen Wang and turn the tide.

By then, she will definitely trample those who look down on her under her feet, especially Xiao Xuetang, and make her life a fate worse than death!

Suddenly, the wedding sedan jolted and Ye Jin was almost thrown out of it. Qiao Niang beside her said unhappily, "Why did the sedan stop so quickly? This is unlucky!"

The leading driver said nonchalantly, "In front of us is the convoy of the Regent's Palace that is sending out betrothal gifts. In front of us are the old princess, the Regent, and the eldest princess. We are just a concubine getting married, so we can't afford to offend them, so we can only give way."

Hearing the word "betrothal", Ye Jin's heart tightened. He took off the wedding veil without paying attention to Qiao Niang's objection and asked sternly, "Who is going to betroth? To whom?"

The driver was startled by Ye Jin's sharp voice, but still said, "Of course, the Regent went to the Xie family to propose marriage..."

"With these dozens of cars of betrothal gifts, the future regent is indeed very lucky."

"I heard that the future Regent Princess is Concubine Jin's sister. Seeing how she put up such a big show just to propose marriage, it's really the same person with different fates..."

The rustling sounds reached Ye Jin's ears clearly. At this moment, Ye Jin felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He fell back down with a dead heart.

How could this be?

She snatched away Xiao Xuetang's destined marriage, why did Xiao Xuetang not mind at all, and was able to marry Lin Xun so luckily...

The Regent, who has always been low-key, went to the Xie family to propose marriage with such a grand ceremony today, which made her marriage look like a joke.

"Xiao Xuetang, she must have embarrassed me on purpose!"

Ye Jin gritted his teeth in hatred, looking at the red "囍" characters pasted on the boxes, his heart bleeding...

……

When Lin Xun came to propose marriage, Xiao Xuetang was still drying herbs in the yard in her ordinary lotus green dress. Her clothes and hair were plain, and there were a few very conspicuous white cat hairs on her dress.

Second Madam Lu took a deep breath when she saw Xiao Xuetang's bare face...

"My dear little ancestor, the people from the palace are coming to propose marriage soon, why don't you dress up yet?"

Xiao Xuetang looked innocent. Wasn't it just an engagement? It was just a formality. She and Lin Xun had met before, so was it necessary to make it so grand?

But Mrs. Lu didn't give any explanation and directly dragged Xiao Xuetang into the house to change clothes and put on makeup. In an instant, the whole Jiangxuexuan was in a mess.

Lu was a lady from a wealthy family, and she was best at dressing up. She pressed Xiao Xuetang in front of the dressing table and told Qiyue, Bihen and the other maids, "Go to the room and put on the silver-red brocade dress."

"And what about the jade headpiece I brought from Dongshan? Yes, it's this gilded jade pearl hairpin, and the jasper tassel earrings."

"Exaggerated? Not at all! This engagement day is meant to be joyful and festive."

In the chaos, Xiao Xuetang could only sit quietly like a porcelain doll, allowing Lu to manipulate her.

Her skin was naturally snow-white, without a single blemish, like the finest white jade. If she used makeup, it would only sully the original color. Her eyebrows were black without any drawing, and her lips were red without any lipstick. She didn't need any extra makeup at all, just a light layer of rouge.

While Lu was dressing Xiao Xuetang up, Lin Xun and others also arrived.

On the auspicious day of engagement, at the strong request of the old princess, although Lin Xun still wore the black brocade robe, it was a black background with red patterns, and cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread, which shone brightly in the sunlight and showed off his straight and tall figure.

Seeing Lin Xun coming over in person, the eldest lady couldn't hide the smile on her face, but her eyes still stayed on Lin Xun's face for a moment...

He is still wearing a mask on the day of his engagement. Could it be that the Regent is really disfigured?

The old princess was a very thoughtful person. Although Su didn't say much on the wedding day, seeing that the children of the Xie family kept looking at Lin Xun's face, she roughly guessed the grudge in the Xie family's heart.

only……

The old princess sighed in her heart, and the eldest princess frowned slightly when she saw that the young man from the Xie family was not very enthusiastic.

The Xie family is no longer as prosperous as it once was, not to mention the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. Even the Yong'an Marquis was exiled.

It is a great honor for Xiao Xuetang to marry into the royal palace!

What is the Xie family dissatisfied with?

Before meeting Xiao Xuetang, the princess already had a layer of dissatisfaction in her heart, so she spoke in a somewhat veiled tone: "This wedding was prepared in a hurry, and the palace only prepared these betrothal gifts at the moment. If Madam Xie feels that there is anything missing, she can ask the palace to make up for it later."

As he spoke, he personally handed over a gift list that was two meters long.

Xie Lanluo's mouth twitched slightly. This was just an engagement, but the palace had already made such a big scene. What would happen if they really got married...

Even if the regent really had a face as ugly as a demon, Xie Lanluo could accept this cousin-in-law because of his sincerity.

Just as the two families were looking at the gift list, they heard the maidservant below say with a smile: "The young lady is here."

Everyone looked over there, even the seemingly calm Lin Xun was startled and raised his eyes slightly to look over there...

Xiao Xuetang was wearing a rare silver-red flowing brocade dress. It was obviously an extremely bright color, but her appearance was so beautiful that only she could carry off such an almost exaggerated color.

The belt embroidered with gold thread of the same color outlines her slender waist, which is less than one hand's width. The hem of her skirt is embroidered with large crabapple flowers in gold thread. As she walks, her jade tassel earrings sway slightly, and each time, they seem to hook into Lin Xun's heart.

The originally noisy flower hall was briefly silent. Even Lu, who was used to seeing Xiao Xuetang's beauty, had a flash of surprise in her eyes. The brothers Xie Lanluo and Xie Lanruo beside her subconsciously clenched their fists and looked at Lin Xun while gritting their teeth.

Cheap him!

Princess Mingjing, who was originally full of dissatisfaction, looked at Xiao Xuetang and was also stunned...
