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

Wang Yueying still looked weak and harmless, but there was a hint of sneer in her eyes.

Mu Yan behaved arrogantly in Kyoto, without any of the dignity and reserve that a boudoir girl should have. Xiao Yunni was also a well-known idiot in Kyoto in the past, and Xiao Xuetang has been both praised and criticized in Kyoto these days...

"Birds of a feather flock together."

Someone in the audience muttered this in a low voice, but Mu Yan had sharp ears and eyes and heard it clearly!

She had always been short-tempered, so she couldn't stand this. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to settle the score with them, but was stopped by Xiao Xuetang...

"never mind."

Xiao Xuetang shook her head slightly at Mu Yan.

She naturally saw that Wang Yueying was deliberately provoking them. If Mu Yan got into a dispute with Wang Yueying at the gate of the palace again, wouldn't she be falling into the other party's provocation!

Moreover, this trip to the palace involves not only the forces of Kyoto, but also the noble ladies from prominent families outside Kyoto. The situation is complicated, and it is not appropriate to create trouble with them on the first day.

Wang Yueying saw that Xiao Xuetang could endure this, and frowned slightly...

At this moment, after the noble ladies who came with Ning Moyu learned about Xiao Xuetang's identity from Wang Yueying, they briefly flashed a trace of fear, and then someone in the crowd suddenly said: "But I heard that the Yong'an Marquis was exiled, and the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion has long been defeated... Even if the emperor pardoned the crimes of other people in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, what qualifications does the daughter of a guilty minister have to come to Jiufan Mountain and sit on an equal footing with us."

"That's right. The Queen Mother personally hosted a banquet at Mount Jiufan this time in order to restore the relationship between our clan and the Kyoto family. It's only the first day at Mount Jiufan and you Kyoto ladies are bullying me like this. It's really too much!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle, and even the eldest princess's expression became a little more solemn.

Originally, this was just a simple quarrel between Mu Yan and Ning Moyu, but after a few noble ladies made such a fuss, wouldn't it cause confrontation between the Kyoto aristocratic families and the local clans?

Although the eldest princess did not care much about the affairs of the court, she knew that the Empress Dowager invited girls from clans all over the country to the capital, partly for the purpose of helping Emperor Yonghui to balance the political situation.

In recent years, due to the chaos of eunuchs, the prestige of the royal family has been increasingly weakened.

The banquet at the palace hasn't started yet, and the princess absolutely cannot ruin Emperor Yonghui's hard work because of a small matter!

She hesitated for a moment, lowered her voice and said to Xiao Xuetang, "Xuetang, they have come from afar, why should they be unhappy over such a small matter? For this matter, either let Mu Yan apologize to Ning Moyu and forget about it."

Hearing this, Mu Yan clenched her fists until they creaked.

According to her previous temper, she would have slapped him when she heard these words.

But now the person in front of her is the eldest princess, who is also Qi Yusheng's mother, so she can't be impulsive.

Also, even though she is with Xiao Xuetang now, she must not implicate Xiao Xuetang!

Just when Mu Yan was thinking about not being able to bear it anymore and just apologizing to a dog...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Xuetang, who originally wanted Mu Yan to be patient and keep things quiet, decisively refused: "Princess, we did nothing wrong. We didn't do anything wrong by refusing. Why should we admit our mistakes? Just because they can blackmail us morally?"

At this time, Ning Moyu also recognized Xiao Xuetang and said through gritted teeth: "It turned out to be you, Xiao Xuetang!"

As she spoke, she looked Xiao Xuetang up and down, and looking at Xiao Xuetang who was dressed in plain clothes and didn't even have a gold hairpin, she sneered and said, "Tsk, you used to be the apple of the Xie family's eye, but now you have fallen into such a state after being broken off by Prince Heng. Xiao Xuetang, you are really pitiful..."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became subtle and they looked at Ning Moyu, even the eldest princess frowned slightly.

Ning Moyu was talking about something irrelevant. The engagement between Xiao Xuetang and Prince Heng was a thing of the past, and now Xiao Xuetang was already the Regent Princess.

However, the Ning family is far away in Lanxi after all, and news is not smooth. In addition, Ning Moyu and others have been learning rules in the palace these days, and have not been to other places except Xiao Penglai. It is reasonable that they are blocked from news.

The princess didn't want these clans to be alienated from the royal family, but she didn't want to provoke Lin Xun, the living devil, and was about to interrupt Ning Moyu's words. But unexpectedly, Ning Moyu, who had always been well-behaved, seemed not to notice the princess's wink at this time, and continued to say in front of Xiao Xuetang: "You have been divorced by Prince Heng, and Yong'an Marquis' Mansion has been defeated. How did you come to Jiufan Mountain?"

Xiao Xuetang raised her eyelids, and before she could speak, Wang Yueying took the initiative to say: "Miss Ning, please don't misunderstand. I think Miss Xiao came to Jiufan Mountain not because of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, but to thank..."

Wang Yueying was planning to involve the Xie family.

She knew that the Lanxi Ning family and the Xie family were both civil officials. They were good friends in the past, but later they turned against each other for unknown reasons. If Ning Moyu knew Xiao Xuetang's identity, she would definitely not let her go, so there would be something interesting to watch today...

Before Wang Yueying could finish, Xiao Xuetang interrupted her and said, "Of course, it's for the sake of the Regent."

"Regent?"

It was indeed as the eldest princess thought. In the past few days, Ning Moyu and others had been learning etiquette in the palace to prepare for the selection of the princess, so it was inevitable that there was some news blockage.

They heard from Wang Ruoruo that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was in decline. Wang Ruoruo was good friends with Wang Yueying, a noblewoman from Kyoto, and would share with them any latest news in Kyoto that she knew.

Seeing Ning Moyu and the others staring in amazement, Xiao Xuetang raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why, didn't Wang Yueying tell you that the prince and I are getting married thanks to the grace of His Majesty. The date has been set and the wedding will be held soon. Speaking of which, Miss Wang, you can call me the princess, there is nothing wrong with that."

After these words were spoken, even the extremely cunning Wang Yueying could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

It was obvious that she and Lin Xun knew each other first. If Xiao Xuetang had not appeared, she would have been the one who married Lin Xun, and she would have been the one that Lin Xun came to propose to her!

How could Xiao Xuetang, an abandoned daughter of a noble family, get all this so easily?

During this trip to Jiufan Mountain, she wanted Xiao Xuetang to be ruined, and then the position of Regent Princess would be hers...

Wang Yueying's perfect expression was a little cracked, but she still said, "Ms. Xiao hasn't gotten married yet, so it's too early to call her princess. After all, who can predict the changes in the world?"

"For example, who could have thought that Miss Xiao would change from Princess Heng to Princess Regent? And who could have said that this Princess Regent would definitely be you?"

At this time, Xiao Xuetang finally understood where Wang Yueying's malice came from. Tsk, it turns out that she still has evil intentions towards Lin Xun!

Lin Xun still has the nerve to say that she is attracting many men outside!!!

After Wang Yueying threatened Xiao Xuetang, she felt a chill on her back. At this moment, she heard a clear voice: "Mother, why are you standing here halfway up the mountain instead of going to the palace?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw three figures coming down the mountain...
