The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

However, amidst all the laughter and joy, Xie Fei suddenly felt a strange feeling. She seemed to be stared at, and the gaze was like a needle, making her feel uncomfortable.

She looked around cautiously, but didn't see anyone suspicious. She thought to herself, "Is it my illusion?"

They continued to move forward, but the feeling became stronger. At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her sight. It was Qiu Yu, the man who had broken her heart.

Qiu Yu also saw her, with a complicated look in his eyes. He slowly walked up to her and whispered, "Fei'er, long time no see."

An indescribable emotion surged in Xie Fei's heart, mixed with sorrow and hatred. She looked at him coldly and turned to leave. However, Qiu Yu grabbed her arm and whispered, "Fei'er, I know I was wrong in the past. But please believe me, I have been looking for you."

Xie Fei felt a pain in her heart. She struggled to break free from Qiu Yu's hand and said coldly, "There is nothing left to say between you and me. Go away. I don't want to see you again."

After that, she hurried away with Rongqing and Xiaowen. Qiuyu stood there blankly, watching her back gradually disappear in the crowd. A deep regret and helplessness surged in his heart.

Haoyu and Wei'an also felt different cultures in the lively atmosphere of the Buddha Bathing Festival. They strolled around the street market, tasted various delicacies, and enjoyed various performances. However, when Haoyu saw Xie Fei's hurried departure, he felt an inexplicable worry in his heart.

He whispered to Wei An, "Look at Xie Fei, she seems to be in some trouble."

Wei An nodded, looking around vigilantly. He whispered, "We have to follow her and ensure her safety."

The two followed Xie Fei, feeling sad for her complicated emotional entanglement.

As night falls, Wang Jingze's mansion is once again brightly lit. Xie Fei and Xiao Yan are invited to Wang Jingze's banquet, but the banquet is not as simple as they thought.

At the banquet, various generals and officials showed their respect and tried to win over Xiao Yan. However, in this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, there were endless calculations and conspiracies.

At this moment, a woman in gorgeous clothes slowly walked into the banquet. She had a beautiful face and elegant temperament, but her eyes flashed with an indescribable indifference and arrogance.

"Ming Yuexin, I've come here specially to toast General Xiao." Her voice was cold, like ice.

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, then raised his glass and responded: "Thank you Miss Mingyuexin for your kindness."

However, at this moment, Ming Yuexin suddenly changed the subject and said coldly: "I heard that General Xiao has a confidante named Xie Fei. I wonder what is so special about her that General Xiao is so attracted to her?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became subtle. Everyone turned their eyes to Xie Fei, waiting for her response.

Xie Fei's heart was filled with anger. She looked at Ming Yuexin coldly and said slowly, "I have no outstanding qualities. I am just lucky to be favored by General Xiao. I wonder what outstanding qualities Miss Ming Yuexin has that could attract so many people's attention?"

Ming Yuexin sneered and was about to open her mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Wang Jingze: "Well, today is General Xiao's welcoming banquet, let's not hurt the harmony over trivial matters. Come on, let's continue drinking and having fun!"

He raised his glass to signal to everyone, but his eyes flashed with an indescribable depth.

The banquet continued, but the atmosphere had become subtle and tense. Xie Fei sat next to Xiao Yan, always on guard. She noticed that Wang Jingze's eyes lingered on Xiao Yan from time to time, as if testing something.

After the banquet, Wang Jingze's attitude towards Xiao Yan was still unclear. He neither expressed clear support nor showed obvious hostility. This made Xiao Yan and Xie Fei worried. They knew that the changes in Jiankang had just begun.

Haoyu and Wei An also witnessed the intrigues of various forces at the banquet. They felt a chill in their hearts when they saw those generals and officials who were polite on the surface but actually harbored murderous intentions. They knew that the political struggle in Jiankang was far more complicated and cruel than they had imagined.

As the night deepened, the lights in Jiankang City gradually went out. However, in a corner of this city, a battle for power and conspiracy had just begun.

Spring always comes early in Jiankang. The petals of peach trees and the fluttering catkins cover the ancient city with a light pink veil. Xie Fei walked briskly through the bustling streets, but a subtle ripple appeared in her heart. Since returning from Langya that day, she has had an unspeakable secret in her heart - friendship with Wang Ru, a complex emotion mixed with gratitude, admiration and guilt.

"Miss, what do you think of this hairpin?" Rongqing held a jade hairpin with fine patterns carved on it, which looked warm and shiny in the sun. "I think it is especially suitable for Xiaowen."
