Xiao Xuetang also heard Xie's question at this time. He looked in the direction where Lin Xun left, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Will Lin Xun become a variable today?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Ruoruo's sweet voice came from the crowd: "The prince must have come for Sister Jin!"

"Sister Jin has been in Jingzhou before, maybe she knows the prince, so the prince is here to support Sister Jin at the family recognition banquet today."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was focused on Ye Jin!

Mrs. Xie was also surprised and asked, "Jin'er, is it true?"

Even Xiao Xuetang looked at Ye Jin, thinking to herself: Could it be that Lin Xun came to the Marquis' Mansion several times just for Ye Jin? She is indeed the girl of destiny, with such great charm.

At this time, Ye Jin was also surprised by Lin Xun's appearance, but seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ye Jin raised a shy smile on her face and said, "My daughter and the prince are just casual friends, and I didn't expect the prince to come..."

These words acknowledged that Lin Xun came here for her today.

After all, he was recorded in history books as a regent with utmost power. He had survived three generations of emperors and remained standing, mysterious and unfathomable.

Suddenly, the eyes of those ladies from the noble families who had looked down on Ye Jin suddenly became warmer when they looked at Ye Jin...

"This is Miss Jin. She is indeed as good as any man."

Another lady took Ye Jin's hand and said to the old lady, "She looks so elegant and graceful. She doesn't look like the adopted daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. She looks like the old lady's own granddaughter. No wonder the old lady values ​​her so much."

The old lady listened to the compliments, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. She said, "That's right. When they first brought the child to Kyoto, I thought they were very suitable for each other. I thought this was a child of our Xiao family who was stranded outside."

Being the center of attention, Ye Jin felt secretly proud.

Although her peach blossom makeup did not achieve the stunning effect she wanted, but now, by chance, the arrival of the Regent's Palace came to support her, which could be considered a counterattack!

For a moment, Ye Jin once again became the focus of everyone. Xiao Ruoruo, who followed Ye Jin, benefited from it, and the other girls in the marquis' mansion became the foil.

Xiao Xuetang looked at Ye Jin coldly, with a sneer on her lips, and poured herself a cup of tea...

Ye Jin, cherish the present moment, or you won’t be able to laugh later!

The concubines were fine, but Xiao Yunni had never suffered such an injustice. She gnashed her teeth in anger and poked Xiao Xuetang, who was drinking tea in the corner, and said, "Xiao Xuetang, you are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion, and you let an outsider bully you!"

Before Xiao Xuetang could answer, a man dressed as a guard suddenly came back.

The man was wearing a black suit, similar to the attire of most of the guards from noble families in Kyoto, but he had a fierce and murderous aura.

It was someone from the Regent's Palace.

Moreover, he was holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand.

Xiao Ruoruo said in surprise: "Sister Jin, the Regent King actually prepared a gift specifically for you."

Even Xiao Xuetang couldn't help but look over here curiously. Is Lin Xun so considerate?

Ye Jin was ecstatic, but she had to put on a reserved look and said, "It is my honor that the prince can come to the Marquis's mansion to attend the family recognition banquet today. The prince even prepared a gift himself. How can I accept this..."

As he spoke, he was about to take the brocade box from Tianshu's hand, but he unexpectedly took an empty box.

Tianshu looked at Ye Jin with an indescribable look...

"Girl, if you are sick, remember to take medicine."

Ye Jin!!!

Tianshu continued to speak venomously: "Even if you don't have money to buy medicine, you should have money to buy a mirror and look at yourself. What's so special about you that is worth my prince making a trip for you? Do you think you are a fairy or a princess? Even a princess wouldn't dare to say this."

People who are familiar with Lin Xun know that the most powerful thing about his guard Tianshu is not the sword in his hand, but his mouth.

Even though Tianshu only used less than 10% of his venomous tongue at this moment, he had already defeated Ye Jin in an instant.

Ye Jin was used to being praised by others and had never been belittled like this.

But the color on his face faded in an instant. He was praised so highly just now, and now he was trampled on so much. He asked Tianshu in embarrassment and disbelief: "If the prince's things are not for me, then who else can he give them to!"

The Regent King was cold and ruthless. The only person in the entire Marquisate who could have any contact with him was Ye Jin who also came back from Jingzhou, unless...

"Miss Xiao."

Tianshu handed the brocade box to Xiao Xuetang with both hands, and in a second he changed into a flattering smile and said, "Thanks to you for saving the old princess at the Huguo Temple last time. This is the thank-you gift that the prince personally selected for you. Please be sure to accept it."

Hearing the word "thank you gift", Xiao Xuetang's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly thought of some things in his previous life.

At that time, the noble families in Kyoto were in a trend of extravagance, and they held banquets day and night like a continuous flow of banquets. However, no one dared to invite Lin Xun, just because of one thing...

That was when the Eastern Palace was at its peak. Lin Xun came uninvited to the birthday banquet of Prime Minister Wang of the Wang family, a relative of the emperor, and gave Prime Minister Wang a gift that he would never forget - a human head!

The head of Prime Minister Wang’s favorite student who embezzled military funds...

It is said that when Prime Minister Wang opened the box and looked at the bloody head, he was almost scared to death, and the guests could not escape even if they wanted to. The head was placed in the most conspicuous position on the main table of the birthday banquet, and the officials of Dayin, big and small, looked at the bloody head in fear until the end of the birthday banquet.

It is said that after that, the atmosphere of corruption in the court improved a lot, and even the extravagant banquets held by aristocratic families improved.

And at this moment, Lin Xun, who had only met her a few times, actually prepared a gift for her!

Xiao Xuetang looked horrified and didn't dare to take it for a moment. Tianshu held it in both hands without showing any impatience. This made the ladies from the noble families who had just belittled Xiao Xuetang and flattered Ye Jin dumbfounded.

Because Xiao Yi kept the news secret and didn't want Xiao Xuetang to be in the spotlight, everyone knew for the first time that this unknown eldest daughter of the Xiao family was actually the old princess's savior!

This old princess is the grandmother of the Regent Prince, and she was the one who raised and cared for the late emperor and Emperor Yonghui. Her status is even more honorable than that of the empress dowager.

It’s just that the old princess has been living in Shuiyunju, staying at home and not liking to show up in front of the aristocratic families.

But I never expected that this 'wooden beauty' would have such an opportunity.

With such a favor, Xiao Xuetang would be able to walk around Kyoto with all his might!

In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Xuetang, who could walk sideways in Kyoto, took the box handed over by Tianshu with trembling hands, with only one thought in his mind...

This brocade box shouldn’t be able to hold a human head, right?!

Seeing that the things had been brought, Tianshu retreated, leaving the people in the water pavilion looking at Ye Jin and the sisters Xiao Xuetang with subtle expressions.

Ye Jin's expression changed several times, and he suddenly walked in front of Xiao Xuetang and said...
