Lin Xilan strode forward.

Beichen Yuan opened his mouth, as if wanting her to stay; however, as he looked at the petite and slender figure of the woman, he could not utter a word.

Standing behind him was his former lover who he thought was dead but came back to life, and in front of him was his current wife.

between the two.

He didn't know how to choose for a moment!

"Girl, please slow down!"

Instead, Yu Xueyao smiled slightly and spoke first.

"This must be Miss Lin, the daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion. I heard your name before I came here, and Xueyao also heard that you are deeply in love with A Yuan... I have always hoped to meet Miss Lin earlier, but I never had the chance to meet her until today."

"Oh, what do you want to say?" Lin Xilan stopped and asked Yu Xueyao calmly.

"I don't have anything special to say to Miss Lin, but I think Miss Lin is very special. I found that Miss Lin is more graceful, gentle and quiet than I imagined."

what?

Lin Xilan sneered.

She doesn't think she is graceful, gentle and quiet.

Yu Xueyao's way of making small talk really made her dislike her!

If it were based on her usual personality.

She had already responded.

However, at this moment, she rarely said a word.

However, Lin Xilan's silence in front of her love rival immediately attracted the attention of many gossipers.

There was silence.

Bei Chenze, who was sitting closest to him, had an unpleasant expression on his face and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Uncle, this girl's origins are unknown!"

"Although she looks the same as Princess Xiao, there's no guarantee that she isn't a substitute found by someone else. How could a dead person come back to life so easily?"

"Besides, this woman didn't come out earlier or later, but showed up when the relationship between the emperor's uncle and aunt was so close. It's obvious that she came here to cause trouble!"

"Moreover, this woman has a close relationship with Murong Xuan! She..."

The eldest princess is neither salty nor bland.

"Second Prince! What do you mean by this? Are you saying that this princess is intentionally looking for a fake to fool the regent? Besides, we may not be able to tell whether this person is real or fake, but it is not possible that even the regent cannot recognize him, right?"

"Or is it that the one who was in love with Princess Xueyao at the beginning was not the Regent, but you, the Second Prince?"

Ever since the incident with Jiang Mingzhu, the eldest princess and Bei Chenze have been at loggerheads with each other.

She couldn't accept that her nephew, who had once favored her and even intended to marry her daughter, would stand on Lin Xilan's side at the critical moment and cause her daughter to be exiled to Xuzhou!

Think of this.

She sneered.

"Beichenze, you have nothing to say, right? Haha, you, say something!"

Beichenze pursed his lips and said seriously.

"Aunt, I didn't mean that! It's just that the Xiao Kingdom has been destroyed for many years, and Princess Xueyao suddenly came back to life. As a prince of the Northern Dynasty, it's natural for me to be suspicious. Besides, even if the Princess of Xiao Kingdom standing in front of me is real, she is the daughter of a fallen country. Aunt actually sent her to the banquet and asked her to dance in the palace.

Aren't you afraid that the assassination attempt will happen again? Or does your aunt not care about the safety of my father and me?"

The eldest princess' voice became even louder.

She glanced at the emperor not far away.

He said quietly.

"Bei Chenze, you're thinking too much. Although Yu Xueyao is a princess of a fallen country, we don't know that the Regent has already asked His Majesty for her pardon! She is just an ordinary citizen now, an ordinary woman, and the Regent's lover. What's wrong with me playing matchmaker for her? Do you want to accuse me of treason?!"

Beichenze's face turned pale after hearing the princess' words.

Faced with the eldest princess's aggressiveness, Bei Chenze had no choice but to admit defeat.

"My nephew dare not..."

There was a moment of tension.

Even the emperor did not expect that his son, who was always good-tempered and tactful, would stand up for Lin Xilan.

That's the Regent Princess!

The emperor pondered for a moment.

He is a good guy, but he also feels that his sister has gone too far.

Although he did not love power and was willing to hand it over to Beichen Yuan, he was an emperor after all. The eldest princess kept it a secret from him and brought the princess of the fallen country to the banquet to dance.

The purpose is obvious, which is to alienate the relationship between Beichen Yuan and Lin Xilan!

It’s understandable that she hates Lin Xilan!

However, the eldest princess acted like this openly, and it was obvious that she did not take the emperor seriously.

Thinking of this, his face turned cold.

"Princess, you are so impressive! The banquet held for the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom has turned into a show just for you, Princess."

"It seems that sending Jiang Mingzhu alone to exile in Xuzhou is not enough."

"Perhaps, the princess hopes that the entire Duke's Mansion will go to Xuzhou together to accompany her beloved daughter who has passed away?"

The eldest princess froze.

Facing her younger brother, she took a deep breath and finally lowered her noble head.

"I know I was wrong, but Your Majesty, I just saw that A Yuan missed Princess Xueyao too much and had no appetite, so I thought of giving him a surprise, but I didn't expect it to become such a big deal."

Ha ha.

The emperor sneered, and the trace of affection he had originally felt faded away.

Beichenze was a little anxious.

He glanced at Lin Xilan worriedly, but only saw her indifferent expression. Standing under the midsummer sun, she looked like a splendid sun.

She didn't seem to care at all about what happened at the party.

Can……

Is it really possible to not care at all?

In the strange atmosphere, Yu Xueyao frowned slightly and spoke carefully, "Did my appearance cause you trouble? If so, A Yuan, I can leave now and never appear in front of you again."

"I just wanted to see you again, that's all."

As she spoke, she actually smiled at Lin Xilan, with a dark light flashing in her eyes.

"Of course I also believe that Sister Lin will definitely welcome me, right?"

Lin Xilan: “…”

She was speechless.

Finally, it was Beichen Yuan who spoke, breaking the silence.

"enough."

He said, "Since today is the banquet for the Southern Crown Prince, please don't put all your worries on me."

"Xueyao, you must be tired from dancing just now. Go down and rest first. I still need to accompany the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom."

Yu Xueyao’s smile paused as she didn’t expect Beichen Yuan to react like this.

She seemed a little surprised, and looked at Lin Xilan calmly, her eyes falling heavily on his face, then nodded slightly.

"That's fine. I'm not feeling well and I'm a little tired. I'll go downstairs and rest first. You can come back to see me after the party is over."

Lin Xilan was too lazy to watch them being annoying each other, so she turned around and was about to leave. However, Bei Chenyuan grabbed her hand with an unsightly look on his face, and it was unclear whether there was confusion or annoyance in his phoenix eyes.

"Lin Xilan, don't go."

She couldn't tell what she was thinking at the moment, she seemed to be calm but also irritated, mixed with an inexplicable chill.

however.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, she still chose to give Beichen Yuan face.

Take your seat again.

A laugh was heard.

"I didn't expect that Your Highness would see such a good show."
