Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Wen Jinkai did not even glance at the princess, surprising the entire court and the curious onlookers. He acted as if he had not heard a word she said.

His eyes fell on the queen, not seeing anyone else. He was the first person to see through the queen's mask. He knew very well that the queen was depressed in front of Concubine Gu Feiying, and Gu Feiying sat too close to the emperor, which was beyond her status.

The Queen suppressed a sigh at his usual indifferent attitude and his lack of concern for the beautiful flowers that always surrounded him.

She had hoped that Princess Weichun's gentleness and tenderness would impress the great commander Wen Jinkai. Obviously, he didn't care about this young woman.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the tent." Wen Jinkai began to feel annoyed by the princesses' awed looks. Even the princes looked at him, but their eyes were mixed with contempt and envy.

Wen Jinkai saw that the second prince was not there, and he was too lazy to ask why. He and the second prince were good friends, and if he was not there, it could only mean that he was bedridden again.

The queen looked at Wen Jinkai's frankness and chuckled.

"Go back to your tent and rest. You must have been badly injured in this battle," the Queen said. She patted his cheek again with a smile on her face.

Her smile was so sweet and pure that the princes couldn't help but look at her with envy. Why didn't their mother see them in the same way? Why did she smile so brightly for a son she didn't give birth to? !

Wen Jinkai turned to the emperor, nodded, and then walked towards the first step of the golden stairs. But he stopped and turned to look at the queen, as if he had forgotten something very important.

"Mother, may you remain forever beautiful and healthy," he whispered. Before he saw her tearful face, he had already walked down the stairs with his head held high, his eyes scanning the crowd.

With her back to him, he didn't see the adoration on the Queen's face as she looked at him. This was one of the few times he addressed her in such a loving way, rather than the usual cold "Queen." The Queen felt her shoulders tremble slightly with excitement, and her face broke into the happiest smile.

Xueyue, like many onlookers, saw the queen's brilliant smile. Seeing the loneliness and melancholy in the queen's eyes gradually fade away, she smiled slowly. It seemed that the queen felt much better after what the man said to her. In an instant, her favorability towards this man increased.

Wen Jinkai walked to the bottom of the stairs and headed straight for the Wen family's tent. Halfway there, something caught his attention. The Li twins.

When he made eye contact with them, he nodded in acknowledgement. The twins nodded back, but their postures were stiff. They stood straight in front of the tent, as if shielding themselves from something inside.

"Who did you nod to?" Xueyue asked curiously.

She had been watching this man since he appeared, and saw how he greeted the royal family with a courage that ordinary people could hardly imagine. But the moment the man turned and walked down the stairs, Chen Yang and Wen Min switched positions and stood guard at the door of the tent.

Because of the distance, she couldn't hear his name clearly. She didn't know him either.

"Old acquaintance." Li Chenyang turned to face her and said briefly.

She looked out of the tent curiously, but the man was long gone. Something else caught her attention, a group of women peering into the tent. Even from a distance, she could see their distorted faces, foreshadowing their mischief.

Ning Huabing watched Xueyue walk up the grand staircase to greet the royal family. She also saw the small interactions between the Fourth Prince and her. Who exactly is this girl?

Ning Huabing's friend looked at her hesitantly.

"Jiejie, don't think too much. That girl might just be a distant cousin—"

"Li Chenyang doesn't care about any woman, even his sister or cousin." Ning Huabing interrupted.

“General Li Wenmin also seems to be fascinated by her…” said another woman, looking intently at the royal purple tent.

"Does anyone know her name?" her friend asked.

"I've never seen her before. She might be new to these games," another girl added.

Ning Huabing thought for a moment and said, "You can check the competition boards of each competition area to see if there is a girl with the last name 'Li'. Then you can guess whether she is their cousin or the twins' fiancée."

"What if she's the fiancée?" Someone was annoyed, and every pair of eyes turned to the woman approaching them.

"Ah, Bai Tianai, you came just in time." Ning Huabing smiled when he saw his good friend.

"That girl looks familiar." Bai Tian Ai spread out her fan, glanced at the purple tent, and said, "It's a pity that I didn't get to look at her straight in the eye."

"Yeah...it's really a pity." Ning Huabing muttered softly and signaled his subordinates to run and check the game board.

Xueyue didn't know what these women were talking about. She hid herself very well, only showing half of her face. These women were too far away to notice her.

"Chenyang, someone is watching us." She said deliberately, her voice full of pretend worry.

He approached her from behind and glanced outside the tent. When he saw Ning Huabing and Bai Tianai, his eyes became sharp.

"They're vermin," he said, trying to close the curtain, but she held it tightly.

She looked up at him with an innocent smile and asked coldly, "Shouldn't pests be crushed to death?"

Li Chenyang was frozen by her bluntness. He stared into her hazel eyes, the color of steamed chestnuts. Were her eyes always this dark?

He said slowly: "Maybe so."

She closed the curtains and walked towards her seat.

"Are you trying to cause trouble?" he asked.

She paused, turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe?"

When Xueyue appeared in their lives, everyone thought she was a simple and innocent child, but Li Chenyang saw something in her when they first met.

Was it a thirst for revenge or vengeance? Sometimes he would see her staring into the distance, twirling an arrow in her hand. When she was practicing with the sword, it was not difficult to detect a dangerous look on her face.

He chuckled softly, but Xueyue didn’t hear it. She is indeed a double-edged sword. Her innocent appearance and gentle smile make people wonder what Xueyue is capable of. Otherwise, why would she learn skills and killing suitable for men?

She obviously had ulterior motives, and Li Chenyang really wanted to know what they were.

In a way, he found her a bit like Li Minghua, innocent yet deadly. He just hoped Xueyue would not go down the same dark path as the former.

He instinctively reached out to her, almost grabbing her head, and she turned around suddenly, his palm fell on her temple, and his fingers curled into a fist.

She blinked in confusion before smiling at him lovingly, warmth spreading through his chest as she tilted her head like a curious little rabbit.

"What's wrong, Brother Chen?" She frowned and asked worriedly.

Li Chenyang's clenched fists loosened his fingers gently. He gently stroked her soft hair.

"Nothing," he replied, patting her head and approaching the seat.

He pretended not to notice her curious look. He stole a glance at her as her attention shifted to a piece of pastry that the maid had placed in front of her. She ate happily, shaking her legs with delight.

It was then that he decided he no longer cared if she was evil or naughty. She could plot and scheme as she pleased as long as she was loyal to him. An ally. That was all he wanted from her, nothing more.
