Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

"Tomorrow, you will be introduced as the Crown Princess of Hanjian in front of the entire court." Yuzhen explained to her. "My parents will want to meet you in the future."

He studied her expression carefully. "But if you don't want to see any of them, that's fine with me. It's your choice."

"I think, since I didn't officially enter the palace as scheduled, let's follow tomorrow's plan." Li Xueyue said.

Yu Zhen nodded. He was impressed that she wasn’t going to take any shortcuts. Tomorrow was going to be an eventful day, and she was sure to come into contact with all kinds of people. But that was to be expected, wasn’t it?

The position of the Crown Princess is not easy. She is either a painting in the background or an active member at the political table. Whatever she chooses, he will stick to it.

"I have checked your carriage," Yu Zhen said. "The wheel is broken. It doesn't look like murder."

Li Xueyue nodded slowly. "The townspeople near Hanjian's territory are starving. There must be a reason why everyone in the town chose to become a bandit. They have no choice."

Yu Zhen pursed his lips. "After the war, Han Jian has been working to rebuild the army and strengthen the cities around the capital."

"It's understandable, but there should be a budget for rebuilding cities far from the capital, especially those close to the border with Hanjian territory," she said.

Li Xueyue looked away and met his gaze. "If these towns are strengthened, then they can withstand the attacks of foreign forces. We can weaken them first, and then we can move further towards the capital."

Yu Zhen raised his eyebrows when he heard her words. She had been in this country for less than three days, but she already had plans to transform this country. He reached out and pushed her hair behind her ear.

A smile played at the corners of his mouth. She was just as impressive as he had last remembered. Perhaps the court would be a place where she would thrive.

"Let's discuss this issue at the roundtable meeting tomorrow," said Yu Zhen.

Li Xueyue tilted her head. She had never heard of this term before. “What is a round table meeting?” she asked.

"This is where the most influential people in Hanjian gather to make plans for the country," Yu Zhen explained. "Representatives from various departments such as military, agriculture, and trade gather together for meetings every week."

Li Xueyue nodded. She thought that Wuyi had such a thing. It was just that the Li family had never included her in the discussion, including Minghua. She thought it was because they didn't want women to take on such tasks.

In Wuyi, women are the flowers that decorate the room.

"Are you interested in this?" Yu Zhen asked.

Li Xueyue gave him a sharp smile. "You gave me such a good opportunity, how could I refuse it?"

Yu Zhen's smile widened when he heard her words. "You'll do well there."

“I hope so,” she said.

Li Xueyue knew that life in the palace was very dull. Soon after breakfast, Yu Zhen was relieved of his political duties.

Before leaving, he agreed to have dinner with her because he had made a lunch appointment elsewhere. She didn't mind as long as he had one meal with her every day.

Li Xueyue didn't know whether she needed it or the Li family instilled this mentality in her. Isn't it better to eat with family? The food tastes better this way.

"Oh, I don't know who it is." Li Xueyue said.

She had explored the Crown Princess's manor in the palace. Each room was well-equipped and well-maintained. But she got bored of it and decided to explore the outskirts of her residence.

At this moment, Li Xueyue saw the silhouette of a woman in the distance. Although the woman's dress was not like that of a maid, her clothes were not luxurious either. This was the perfect balance of modesty and beauty.

The woman seemed lost and looked around. A troubled expression appeared on her face. She continued to look around.

"Yan Xi." Li Xueyue said. "Where are we now?"

"To answer the princess' question, we are now close to the road leading to the palace," Yan Xi explained.

“Who is that woman then?” Li Xueyue asked. She stuck out her chin in the direction of the young lady.

Yan Xi raised her eyes from the ground. She observed the woman who caught the princess’s attention. Her blood ran cold when she saw this woman. Now was not a good time for either of them to meet.

"She is the eldest daughter of a declining family, Princess Li." Yan Xi replied.

Li Xueyue raised an eyebrow. This sounded a lot like her. Minus the eldest daughter part. “If she’s from a dead family, what is she doing in the palace?”

Yan Xi pursed her lips. She stared at her hands - the skin had become hard from years of housework. How could she tell the princess that Xu Jiaqi had won the prince's favor? After all, he had saved her life and even spared her sometimes.

"Excellently?" Li Xueyue asked. She continued to stare at the woman. The woman was either lost or she was waiting for someone.

"That woman is Madam Xu Jiaqi. She was a servant a few weeks ago, but since she helped the prince, her status has been elevated."

Li Xueyue raised her eyebrows. "Helping the prince? What does that mean?" she asked.

Yan Xi was reluctant to say more. It would be wrong for her to explain the situation without the prince's consent.

Yanxi was not present when the palace was discussing political affairs, but she heard rumors about what happened.

The crown prince causes an uproar at court by proposing to a common servant, but then he comes up with a better proposal - a marriage with the favored Princess Wuyi, daughter of the prime minister and now the duchess of the new ruling family of Wuyi.

"Princess Li is deeply sorry, but this is a question for the prince to answer himself." Yan Xi said in a low voice.

She feared that her life would be in danger by disobeying the orders of her direct authority, but she could not risk the elimination of seven generations if she crossed the line and angered the crown prince.

Li Xueyue frowned. How could it be so mysterious that even the maid couldn't explain it?

Li Xueyue decided to ask Yu Zhen while eating, but she suddenly understood why the woman was standing there. She was not lost. She was waiting for someone.

A formidable man strode through the corridor. His calm face was stormy and menacing. People passing by saluted respectfully. His steps were powerful and eye-catching. He had the ability to attract people without lifting a finger.

It's not hard to see who he is.

He was accompanied by two people. A man and a woman.

"Well, this is such a surprise." Li Xueyue said, which made Yan Xi a little horrified.

Li Xueyue vaguely remembered their names. After all, they had done their best to make her feel at home in the Wuyi Forest where they had set up camp. If she remembered, the man was Hu Dengxiao and the woman was Lu Tianbi.

Who else would they go for a walk with? Except Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen had stopped in front of the woman. Her face was clearly filled with joy and a smile hung on the corner of her mouth. She looked up at him. Even from a long distance, it was clear that she admired and worshipped him.

Seeing the woman reaching out to pull the prince's sleeve, and Yu Zhen not pushing her away, Li Xueyue's eyes narrowed into slits.
