The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The person was dressed in a gorgeous pink dress, had a pretty face and bright eyes. She was none other than Princess Pingyang, the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager.

She originally came over from the pavilion at a trot, but after jogging a few steps, she slowed down and walked.

Her cheeks flushed, she twisted her handkerchief in her hands, and lowered her eyes, just like a water lotus that is shy in the cool breeze.

Xie Lin bowed: "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Sir Xie, please stand up." Princess Pingyang reached out her hand to help him up, but Xie Lin dodged without leaving a trace and stood up.

"Master Xie has been busy with trivial matters outside the palace. Why did you enter the palace only now?"

Xie Lin said concisely: "Yes."

He spoke too little, and Princess Pingyang didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she just twisted her handkerchief.

Xie Lin said: "The celebration banquet must be about to begin. I will take my leave."

"I will go with Lord Xie." Princess Pingyang blurted out, but then felt something was wrong and quickly explained, "My father has allowed me to attend the celebration banquet tonight. My third brother won a great victory in the southern battlefield, which is the glory of our Daqi."

Xie Lin immediately bowed: "Princess, please."

Polite, yet distant.

But Princess Pingyang did not feel any discomfort. She had inquired about it and found out that Xie Lin had been cold and aloof since childhood.

But she knew that Xie Lin was a very powerful person, and she had heard everything about his performance in the Zichen Palace last time.

The next morning, she saw him from afar in the palace. Before that, she thought her brother the Crown Prince was the most handsome man in the world. However, after meeting Xie Lin, she found that her brother the Crown Prince was not as handsome as Xie Lin.

Moreover, Xie Lin looked a bit like her brother, the Crown Prince, which made her feel closer to him.

Later, Princess Pingyang took advantage of Xie Lin's visit to the palace to find the emperor and deliberately met Xie Lin by chance, and that was how the two met.

"Master Xie must have had many interesting experiences working outside the palace. Could you tell me one or two of them?" Princess Pingyang spoke expectantly.

Xie Lin: "Nothing interesting."

"Then what are you busy with? Can you tell me? I am so bored staying in the palace every day."

Xie Lin suddenly stopped and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to report to the emperor now. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he took Wangshan and another servant in blue and headed towards the Zichen Palace.

Without hesitation.

"..."Princess Pingyang frowned and asked Chai'er beside her: "What does Lord Xie mean? Does he not like me?"

Chai Er immediately replied: "How could it be? Your Highness Princess is a daughter of a rich family, and the legitimate daughter of the Empress. She is infinitely favored by the Emperor. How many men in the world would flock to Your Highness Princess?

"It's just that Lord Xie has never talked about love. Maybe he was too nervous in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so he made an excuse to go to the Emperor to calm himself down."

Princess Pingyang was very pleased with these words.

She raised her chin and said proudly, "Since he is nervous, let him calm down. If he does this again next time, I will not forgive him."

Xie Lin actually had nothing to report to the emperor, he just wanted to avoid Princess Pingyang.

To this end, he deliberately walked around the palace twice.

He was late to begin with, and now he arrived even later. Minghua Palace was already very busy. He looked from afar and happened to see Chu Heyi and Sang Nong walking into Minghua Palace.

Xie Lin thought that if he had known that she would come so late, he should have waited for her halfway and walked with her, so that he would not be entangled by Princess Pingyang.

Princess Pingyang was born to the Queen, and the Crown Prince was also born to the Queen, but he... looked like the Crown Prince.

He even vaguely saw some fuzzy lines on Princess Pingyang's face that were similar to his own.

Thinking of this, Xie Lin slowly clenched his fingers.

He didn't know that Chu Heyi was not late. She just came so late because she had to take Sang Nong to the Zichen Palace to report.

There were not many courtiers coming to Minghua Palace tonight, and they were all officials of the first and second ranks. The prime minister had been in mourning at home before, but he was also invited tonight - he was the uncle of the third prince, so the emperor had to give him this face.

In addition, several soldiers who performed outstandingly in the southern battlefield were present.

The emperor and empress had not yet arrived, and everyone was raising their glasses to toast Dongfang Shuo and his wife. The atmosphere was very lively.

Seeing Chu Heyi bringing Sang Nong in, Dongfang Shuo and his wife immediately frowned, especially Dongfang Shuo, who had an obvious murderous look in his eyes.

"Miss Heyi, why are you dressed so fancy and coming to Minghua Palace? Tonight is Xue'er and I's celebration party!"

Not long ago, he had issued an order not to allow Chu Heyi to appear in front of him again, but now she was chasing him to Minghua Palace.

Dongfang Shuo felt that Chu Heyi must have known that he had won a great victory and wanted to marry him, so she took the initiative to pester him.

"Could it be that you still have not given up on me and want to marry me?" Dongfang Shuo sneered: "Unfortunately, I already have a wife. Could it be that Miss Heyi wants to be my concubine?"

After this great victory, Dongfang Shuo's self-confidence soared, especially after seeing Chu Heyi chasing here, he became more convinced that Chu Heyi was here to harass him.

Everyone was looking at Chu Heyi, including the palace maids and eunuchs.

Either surprised or contemptuous.

Chu Heyi was also surprised, surprised, very surprised.

Dongfang Shuo continued to sneer, "But Miss Heyi, you'd better give up. I only have Xue'er in my heart. I will not take you as my concubine."

People who didn't know the truth looked at Chu Heyi and thought she was about to cry out of anger.

Only those who knew the situation were surprised, just like Chu Heyi, very surprised, and even embarrassed for Dongfang Shuo.

The prime minister knew the inside story, but he didn't know that Dongfang Shuo didn't know it. Now it was too late to remind him.

Chu Heyi said, "Your Highness entered the palace in the afternoon, and it has been several hours now. Don't you know that tonight's celebration banquet is not only for you and the Third Prince's wife, but also for me and Sang Nong?"

The smug look on Dongfang Shuo's face began to crack.

Runxue was also very surprised. She had indeed not heard that Chu Heyi and Sang Nong would also be attending the celebration banquet tonight.

She understood that after they reported to the emperor, they went to Yiyang Palace and then came directly to Minghua Palace, thus missing such important news.

Afraid that they didn’t understand, Chu Heyi continued, “Twenty or thirty years ago, Shengjing City suffered a huge flood, and hundreds of thousands of people died. The emperor experienced this incident that year, and he was deeply impressed.

"Since the beginning of summer this year, it has been raining in Shengjing City. If it weren't for Sang Nong digging a canal to drain the floodwater, Shengjing City would have been submerged long ago. Sang Nong's actions saved hundreds of thousands of people, so the emperor believes that Sang Nong has made a great contribution and will celebrate his achievement tonight."

Her words were like slaps in the face, hitting Dongfang Shuo hard again and again, and his face turned purple.

He wanted to humiliate Chu Heyi in public, but ended up shooting himself in the foot and was unable to save face.

"The Third Prince's misunderstanding of me will affect my life. But I am not a petty person. The Third Prince can offer me a cup of tea and apologize, and the matter will be over."

Dongfang Shuo was so angry that his teeth were itching. It was impossible for him to apologize to Chu Heyi!
