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

After Ye Jin was driven off the carriage, he actually went to the carriage parked on the river bank.

Through the curtain, Ye Jin said with a desperate look on his face: "Sir, you have to help me."

A low laugh came from the man inside. It was obvious that he witnessed the commotion just now, but did not intervene.

During this trip to Jiufan Mountain, Lin Shaoshu and Lin Xun fought to the death, and he was able to reap the benefits.

Seeing Ye Jin offering himself to him, the man's eyes flashed with a subtle look, and he said, "Don't worry, I never break my promise. As long as you help me get that thing, you will get what you want after returning from Jiufan Mountain."

What Ye Jin wants is to get Lin Shaoshu and... the position of queen!

Ye Jin was very excited at this time.

If it was someone else's promise, Ye Jin might be suspicious, but his identity is not ordinary...

He is now a rising noble in Kyoto and a high priest with great magical powers. He is also the one who secretly supported her and her mother... Madam Nan, to high positions over the years.

Madam Nan and the others called him...demigod.

Ye Jin doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but she still recognizes the man's ability, because as long as Ye Jin finds what he wants, she can learn the art of controlling Gu and make Lin Shaoshu fall in love with her!

"But how can I find this huge palace?"

A strange look flashed across the man's eyes, and after a moment he said, "Wait."

"wait?"

"Wait until Lin Shaoshu takes out that thing, then come to me. Don't alert the enemy."

The curtains around the carriage were lowered. In the cramped and dark environment, the man fiddled with the bronze ring in his hand, his expression strange and uncertain...

"Jiufan Mountain, which has been silent for many years, is about to become lively again."

……

The palace on Mount Jiufan was built at the beginning of the founding of Dayin. Taizu once built the Phoenix Tower on Mount Jiufan. The children of noble families gathered and competed on the Phoenix Tower, which became a famous story for a while.

But after Emperor Wuzong, the royal family declined and Jiufan Mountain never regained its former glory.

No matter what the Queen Mother's sudden whim was for coming to Jiufan Mountain, August was the time when the Phoenix trees on Jiufan Mountain were in full bloom. The several-meter-high Phoenix trees were in full bloom, and from the Phoenix Terrace, they looked like continuous clouds, extremely beautiful...

"I came to the palace once when I was young. The sea of ​​phoenix flowers on Jiufan Mountain stretches for dozens of miles. It is stunningly beautiful. It is not as elegant and luxurious as those in Kyoto, but has some of the majestic beauty of the sunset in the desert."

As soon as Xiao Xuetang got off the carriage, he heard Mu Yan's emotional voice.

Mu Yan obviously wanted to reconcile with Xiao Xuetang, but she was too proud to apologize to Xiao Xuetang. Fortunately, Xiao Yunni was there.

Xiao Yunni was lively and pulled Xiao Xuetang directly into the carriage of Prince Mu's mansion. However, Xiao Xuetang was thinking about Lin Shaoshu and some things about Concubine Xie along the way, so she was inevitably absent-minded and did not notice Mu Yan's hesitation to speak.

Before sunset, the convoy finally arrived at the foot of the palace mountain.

As soon as the carriage got on, the subtle fragrance wafted into the air, which made people's hearts jump and instantly drove away the fatigue of traveling for most of the day.

Everyone was waiting at the foot of the mountain for the Queen Mother's carriage to go up first. They were getting a little bored. Xiao Xuetang listened to Mu Yan's words and said with a smile, "I heard that the first royal poinciana tree in the world was transformed from a hero who served his country on the battlefield, so the royal poinciana tree is also known as the hero tree. The previous dynasty once regarded the royal poinciana tree as the national flower, but after the founding of Dayin, they felt that this flower was not auspicious, so they did not continue the previous dynasty's custom..."

"The princess is from a military family, and she is a perfect match for this flower."

Mu Yan was a little surprised when she heard Xiao Xuetang's smiling voice. Just now in the carriage, she thought Xiao Xuetang was deliberately ignoring her!

Xiao Yunni was at a loss for words. She picked up a piece of phoenix flower that had fallen on the stone steps and said dryly, "This flower is indeed beautiful, and it smells pretty good..."

With a "puff" sound, Xiao Yunni's words fell, attracting the ridicule of several noble ladies not far away!

The girls came out of the spacious carriage in the palace together. When they saw Xiao Xuetang and the other two, a hint of arrogance flashed in their eyes...

They all had high hair and fine clothes, with slim figures and golden armlets on their arms. When they walked, their clothes fluttered and their rings and bracelets jingled, with a style different from that of the noble ladies in Kyoto.

Among them, the most outstanding ones are the two in the lead. They are the best among these women in terms of appearance and dress.

Although Xiao Xuetang didn't know them, she had heard about what had happened in the court during this period.

In order to select concubines for several unmarried princes, the Queen Mother brought all the noble ladies from prominent families to live in the palace.

These four prominent families are the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Jinling, and the Ning family of Lanxi.

After these people arrived in Kyoto, they caused quite a stir in the capital.

The noble ladies from the aristocratic families in Kyoto had been eyeing the position of princess for a long time, but they did not expect that the Queen Mother would select ladies from prominent families outside for several princes. Naturally, they were not convinced.

Therefore, the noble ladies in Kyoto formed their own faction, and the noble ladies from the four prominent families outside Kyoto also joined forces and set up an elegant gathering in Xiao Penglai to compete.

Xiao Penglai is an island in the middle of Kyoto's moat. It has a suitable climate and aristocratic families used to raise many exotic flowers and plants, as well as rare animals such as cranes and elks. Today, the owner of Xiao Penglai is Princess Mingjing.

Noble ladies from aristocratic families in Kyoto and elegant men of talent and elegance all went to Little Penglai to hold banquets and compete with each other, which became a legend at the time.

and……

This time, these noble ladies from prominent families were slightly better and became even more arrogant.

Xiao Yunni obviously knew those people, and her expression changed immediately. She pointed at the two leaders and whispered in front of Xiao Xuetang, "Especially Ning Moyu and Zheng Shu, they have been so arrogant since they came to Kyoto. They won two out of three rounds of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting competition, and they don't take us Kyoto ladies seriously."

Xiao Xuetang was surprised: "Are you also going to participate in the competition in Xiao Penglai?"

Xiao Yunni smiled awkwardly, "No, I went there with Yan'er. She is the granddaughter of Elder Zhang, and she is good at playing chess. Ning Moyu only won half a grain of gold against her, but she humiliated Yan'er in public and made her cry. It was too much of a bully."

Having said that, Xiao Yunni looked at the girl in dark green clothes and a golden hairpin, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang was silent for a moment...

Zhang Yan'er, this name seems familiar, but Xiao Xuetang can't remember it for a moment.

However, seeing the arrogant and condescending looks of these girls, Xiao Xuetang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to use the name of selecting a concubine to suppress the noble families in Kyoto and disrupt the delicate balance in Kyoto? !

Xiao Xuetang sneered, looked in the direction of the Jiufan Mountain Palace, and muttered in a low voice: "You are already old, why are you still messing around?"

While Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yunni were talking, several eyes fell on them. When they saw Xiao Xuetang's appearance clearly, their eyes suddenly became fierce and unfriendly...
