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

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw three men coming up from the palace. The man walking in front was dressed in a dark red suit, with long eyebrows and a romantic demeanor. He was none other than the famous Shaoqing of the Jinjianyuan, Qi Yusheng!

Following closely behind Qi Yusheng was a man in a gorgeous purple suit, with delicate features and a dignified bearing.

Zheng Shu, who had just been in the crowd with Ning Moyu, stepped forward without saying a word and called out shyly, "Hello, cousin. How are you?"

It was Concubine Zheng’s son, King of Yue Lin Shaojin!

Lin Shaojin glanced at Zheng Shu calmly, frowned slightly, and said perfunctorily: "Hello, cousin."

As he spoke, he automatically distanced himself from Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu's face turned slightly pale because of Lin Shaojin's cold attitude, but she still endured it...

The most eye-catching thing was the man in black who walked slowly towards them at the end.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a black mask and a black robe that fluttered in the evening breeze.

He was only standing on a few steps higher than them, but he had an intimidating aura that looked down on everyone and dominated the world.

The noble ladies who were originally chattering, couldn't help but hold their breath...

Lin Xun didn't even look at them, but just said to the princess: "Princess, the Queen Mother is waiting for you on the mountain."

The princess looked at Lin Xun, then at Xiao Xuetang, with a hint of subtle mischief in her eyes, and said, "I understand. Since the regent has come to invite us personally, let's go there in person."

Qi Yusheng, who was standing by, hurried forward and said, "Mother, let me help you."

The princess glanced at Qi Yusheng, held Qi Yusheng's hand, and took advantage of the moment when he was not paying attention, pinching the flesh on the back of his hand. In a voice that only the mother and son could hear, she said, "You called for help, right? Are you worried that I will embarrass Mu Yan?"

Qi Yusheng was grabbed by the princess but didn't dare to cry out in pain. She lowered her voice and said with a bit of grievance: "Just feel sorry for your son and stop messing around with him."

If the nanny beside the eldest princess had not tipped off Qi Yusheng, Qi Yusheng would have had no idea what good things the eldest princess had done these days that she actually wanted to choose a wife for her from the girls from the noble families participating in the election!

The princess glared at Qi Yusheng unhappily and said, "If I didn't feel sorry for you, why would I have come all this way?"

Indeed, Princess Mingjing came to the palace not only to help the Queen Mother choose a princess. The reason for coming was, firstly, that all the noble ladies from aristocratic families were participating in this event, and there must be no shortage of beauties, and she wanted to continue to perfect her beauty picture. The second and most important point was to find one for her disappointing son.

Her son inherited her beauty, but he went to the brothel and earned a bad reputation in Kyoto. The noble families in Kyoto avoided him as soon as they mentioned him. No girl from a good family would be willing to marry him.

Originally, the eldest princess had given up hope on her disappointing son. But two days ago, when she saw that Lin Xun, a man with a reputation a hundred times worse than her son, had actually married a beautiful little princess, she thought her son could definitely be saved!

Therefore, the eldest princess changed her previous laziness and actively organized the Penglai Gathering, hoping to choose a beautiful daughter-in-law from the noble ladies of prominent families.

Her son has no interest in Kyoto noble ladies, so maybe he likes those from other places?

Whether it's the pretty girl from Jiangnan or the charming girl from Yue, the eldest princess thinks that as long as they are beautiful, they are all acceptable.

After such a careful selection, the eldest princess liked the girl from Lanxi Ning who came from Yue very much.

But after what happened at the palace gate just now, the princess also realized that Ning Moyu was not as well-behaved as she seemed on the surface. She was also a troublemaker and was not as good as Mu Yan...

It’s just Mu Yan…

"After you return from the palace, go to the Prince Regent's residence and ask him to teach you a few more moves."

Here, Qi Yusheng was thinking about taking this opportunity in the palace to clarify the relationship between him and Mu Yan. His father, Prince Consort Qi Yusheng, was not worried about anything, but he was a little worried that his mother was still brooding over what happened in the past.

Just when Qi Yusheng was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, he was caught off guard by the sound of his mother speaking softly. He looked at the eldest princess with a question mark in his face.

The eldest princess said quietly, "I'm afraid that you'll be beaten to death by your own wife after we get married."

The princess said indignantly, "Besides, how can a man be unable to beat his own wife? It would be so embarrassing if it were to be spread out to others."

Qi Yusheng...

He suspected that the reason why the princess had been disapproving of his relationship with Mu Yan was not because she cared about what happened in the past, but because she was afraid that he would lose face!

……

Because of this delay, it was already dusk when we arrived at the palace on the mountain. Although it was not yet night, the palace lanterns all around were already lit.

It was dusk, the distant mountains were dark blue, and the gorgeous palace lanterns around looked like a winding silver dragon from afar. The wind carried the scent of the flamboyant trees, and from time to time red petals floated down between the two of them.

Lin Xun took her up the mountain along a path that was rarely used. No one else had the courage to walk with the Regent, and for a moment the huge palace was silent.

Xiao Xuetang took the initiative to find a topic to talk about, "Aren't you accompanying His Majesty? Why are you coming down the mountain again?"

Lin Xun explained: "After His Majesty arrived at the temporary palace, he felt a little tired and rested in the bedroom. Qi Yusheng came to me and said that Mu Yan had encountered some troubles and asked me to help him go down the mountain..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang's eyes lit up and gossiped, "Qi Yusheng likes Mu Yan?"

Lin Xun nodded slightly and added: "But the princess doesn't quite agree."

Xiao Xuetang expressed her understanding and said, "Is it because Mu Yan burned the princess's paintings back then? But the princess is also a reasonable person. If Mu Yan admits his mistake, maybe the matter will be over."

Lin Xun knew his adopted cousin quite well. He pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's not just because of this..."

Seeing the girl's black and white eyes filled with curiosity, Lin Xun smiled and said, "She might be more concerned about Qi Yusheng not being able to beat Mu Yan."

Xiao Xuetang...

"besides……"

Lin Xun suddenly stopped, looked at Xiao Xuetang and said, "Besides Qi Yusheng, I also want to pick you up in person and talk to you."

The two had clearly just spoken on the way, but Lin Xun spoke as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

But rather...

Xiao Xuetang only felt that his chest was filled with such ordinary time together, and an emotion called joy seemed to overflow from his chest.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Xuetang quietly walked a few steps towards Lin Xun and hooked his finger under his wide sleeves.

Lin Xun was a little surprised at the little girl's initiative, but after a moment's pause, he took the initiative and wrapped the soft and boneless little thing in his palm.

Due to years of holding weapons, his palms were rough and his body temperature was very high, like the scorching sun, making Xiao Xuetang's cheeks slightly hot, but he did not struggle to break free.

It was a long distance from the foot of the mountain to the top, but at this moment, they both felt it was too short...

……

Almost at the same time, Emperor Yonghui did not rest after returning to the palace, but dismissed the palace servants and opened a secret room.

The secret room that had been sealed for many years made a creaking sound and exuded a damp and stale smell.

On the wall of the secret room hung a picture of a beauty, a woman playing the zither, and under the picture was an old bookcase...
