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

The noble ladies who were sent to Kyoto by their families to participate in the election were naturally smart and shrewd people.

There are only two princes in Dayin who do not have a queen. One is the free and easy Prince Yue, and the other is Prince Heng who is now favored by the emperor. Both of them are outstanding people. As long as they can marry them, they will bring honor to the family.

Of course, there is also a prince from Southern Xinjiang...

Even though the prince from southern Xinjiang was said to be good-looking, they had been brought up in pampered conditions and did not want to marry into a barbarian land.

So there are only two positions for princesses, but there are five or six noble ladies from aristocratic families sent to the palace. Not only do they have to compete with their own people, but they also have to compete with the noble ladies from aristocratic families in Kyoto.

The Little Penglai Competition was proposed by the noble ladies led by Ning Moyu and Zheng Shu. They joined forces to undermine the prestige of the noble ladies in Kyoto.

In the end, the noble ladies who lived in Caixin Villa won a great victory. They were in high spirits, but they did not expect to see Xiao Xuetang and the other two at the gate of the palace...

Or to be more precise, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Xuetang as soon as the carriage got off.

The main reason was that Xiao Xuetang was so beautiful. Even though she was wearing a plain dress, her inky black hair was tied up with only a plum blossom silver-patterned pearl hairpin, and she didn't wear any other gold or jade bracelets on her wrists. She only had a string of small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads wrapped around her fair wrists. She stood there elegantly, still breathtakingly beautiful.

It gave them a sense of crisis...

At this time, Xiao Xuetang didn't know that she had become an imaginary enemy in the eyes of these noble ladies without doing anything. Seeing that it was still early, she gossiped with Xiao Yunni: "The competition in Xiao Penglai is not as simple as bullying."

"The Ning family sent Ning Moyu to Kyoto, most likely for the position of Princess Heng. But Elder Zhang has always had close contacts with Prince Heng. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Yan'er would have been the best candidate for Princess Heng. But the Queen Mother did not want to miss the opportunity to win over the prominent family, so she held this Princess selection test. This time in Penglai, I'm afraid Ning Moyu Gu deliberately gave Zhang Yan'er a warning."

Xiao Yunni was stunned for a long while before she said, "No wonder Ning Moyu kept biting Yan'er that day in Little Penglai. It turned out to be because of Prince Heng..."

Xiao Yunni came to her senses and said, "But you have been ill these days, and you are busy getting engaged. How do you know so much about the things in Kyoto?"

Xiao Xuetang snorted and said, "The Xie family had some old friendship with the Ning family of Lanxi in the past. I also met Ning Moyu a few times when I was a child."

Xiao Yunni looked at Xiao Xuetang's cold expression and could tell that the relationship between these two old acquaintances did not seem to be so harmonious, and Ning Moyu did not seem to recognize Xiao Xuetang, but this did not prevent Ning Moyu from disliking Xiao Xuetang!

The cold sneer just now came from her.

Seeing that Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yunni didn't react, he became even more aggressive and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Where did these three ignorant bumpkins come from? They can praise a flower to the sky. It's really hilarious."

Just now, Xiao Xuetang lowered his voice when talking to Mu Yan, and Ning Moyu did not hear clearly Xiao Xuetang's word "Princess". Seeing Mu Yan dressed like this, he thought she was an ordinary military general's daughter and did not take her seriously at all.

At this time, Xiao Xuetang was talking to Xiao Yunni and didn't notice at all that Ning Moyu's call of "bumpkin" was directed at him.

But Mu Yan was very smart. Hearing her mocking voice, she immediately retorted, "Where did this wild bird come from? It's chirping and making so much noise."

The golden hairpin that Ning Moyu wore on her head was made in the shape of a phoenix. The phoenix and the phoenix are of the same species, so it was supposed to be a good omen. But she didn't expect to be ridiculed by Mu Yan before she even started the election!

Ning Moyu immediately moved her eyes away from Xiao Xuetang and said coldly, "How dare you be so disrespectful to me? Do you know who I am?"

Mu Yan glanced at her and asked, "Who are you?"

The originally elegant Ning Moyu's face turned red due to Mu Yan's anger, and she angrily said: "I am the daughter of the Ning family of Lanxi..."

Mu Yan had a blank expression on her face: “I haven’t heard of it.”

Ning Moyu said: "You...you, I am the eldest princess's guest of honor, how can you be so rude to me, I must tell the eldest princess and let her punish you!"

There is only one princess in this dynasty, and that is Princess Mingjing, Qi Yusheng's biological mother.

Speak of the devil, and here he appears. After Ning Moyu finished speaking, an exquisite sedan chair came down, and the eldest princess in a vermilion palace dress got out of the carriage.

No one expected that even the eldest princess, who had always lived in seclusion, would come to participate in this trip to the palace. They thought that she must be here to help the empress dowager.

Most of these noble ladies came here for the position of princess, and fearing to lose their image in front of the eldest princess, they changed their previous gloating expressions and bowed respectfully.

"Everyone, get up."

The princess spoke carelessly. She looked at the commotion at the palace gate, her brows slightly furrowed, and asked, "The palace gate is a forbidden area in the inner garden. Why are you making such a noise?"

Just as Mu Yan was about to explain, Ning Moyu, who was standing beside her, came forward with red eyes and complained to the princess: "Your Highness, this woman actually bullied me in front of so many people. How rude."

After a moment, she seemed to recognize Mu Yan's identity. A sneer appeared on her lips, and she said, "I wonder who is so arrogant. It turns out to be Princess Mu Yan!"

When the princess said these four words, she almost squeezed them out from between her teeth.

Mu Yan listened to the eldest princess's voice, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she muttered in a voice that only Xiao Xuetang could hear: "It's terrible..."

Xiao Yunni, who was standing by, looked at the princess's domineering look and asked Mu Yan in a low voice, "How did you offend the princess?"

Mu Yan replied hesitantly: "Nothing, it's just that I had a fight with Qi Yusheng before, and Qi Yusheng was injured."

"Later, I apologized to him, but I accidentally started a fire in the study and burned the painting of the beauty that the eldest princess truly loved..."

Xiao Yunni took a breath of cold air!

Even she knew that the two most precious things in the eldest princess' life were her son and her paintings. Mu Yan had walked into a trap.

Mu Yan also regretted her impulsiveness. Wasn't it just a momentary impulse due to her youth and ignorance?

Xiao Xuetang knew that the dispute between Mu Yan and Ning Moyu just now was caused by him, so he stepped forward to explain: "Your Highness, what happened just now was not the princess's fault. It was Miss Ning who provoked first."

Ning Moyu sneered: "Who are you? The princess is here, you have no right to speak!"

Seeing that Ning Moyu didn't recognize her, Xiao Xuetang heard a soft voice coming from the back of the carriage: "Miss Ning, this is Miss Xiao from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. She has always had a good relationship with the princess in Kyoto..."

Everyone then noticed that there were other people in the princess' carriage. It was Wang Yueying and another unfamiliar girl...

They were actually riding in the same carriage with the eldest princess!

After Wang Yueying got off the carriage, she glanced at Xiao Xuetang casually, and a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes...
