Soul travels to another world and becomes a group favorite

The next day, everyone in the Qinglan Kingdom's court felt insecure.

It was because the second prince was in the back mountain of the royal family the day before, and took advantage of the Grand Ancestor's promotion to cooperate with the evil cultivators to rebel. The news had reached every corner of Kyoto that afternoon.

Except for those in the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion (and of course the Scholar's Mansion), all officials related to the aristocratic Ye Mansion were dismissed from their posts, and officials who were relatives of the Ye Mansion were directly removed from their posts and investigated.

The second prince Xiao Jingshan was demoted to a commoner and executed three days later along with all the members of the Ye family. All the property of the Ye family was taken away, and Concubine Ye was abolished from her position as concubine and demoted to a commoner and given the title of Bai Ling.

At the same time, the emperor issued an edict to confer the title of Princess Lingxi on the fourth daughter of the General Zhenguo Mansion, and she was given all the preferential treatment of a royal princess.

All of a sudden, everyone in the court was shocked. No one had expected that the fourth daughter of the general's mansion, who had been unknown before, would be so valued by the royal family since she learned to practice. At this time, Ling Chenxi in the general's mansion was also confused.

"I'm a princess?" She stared at the eunuch who came to announce the decree with wide eyes. It was not until her father, the general, who had just returned home from court, confirmed it again and again that she accepted the fact.

Ling Chenxi thought, can I walk sideways when I go out from now on? After all, she is a princess now! However, when she thought about facing so many rules, she couldn't help but feel a headache.

Ling Chenxi, who had just received the imperial edict, sat on a stool in the meeting room weakly. "This princess is nice, but she's of no use to me. There are so many rules."

"Xi girl, this is an honor that many people want but cannot get, but you are different. You even despise it when it is given to you." Old General Ling shook his head to express his helplessness.

The family was happily discussing how to celebrate Ling Chenxi being named princess at noon, when the guard outside the door came to report that Li Jinyi and the protector Hongshang had arrived.

Everyone stood up and went to the outer courtyard to greet him. Just as they were about to salute, Li Jinyi quickly stopped them and said, "Old General, General Zhenguo, you don't have to be so polite. I told you yesterday that you don't have to salute me when I first arrive."

"Ayi, Sister Hongshang, why are you here?" Ling Chenxi came to the two of them with a happy face.

"I pay my respects to the princess!" Hongshang said happily while bowing.

"Sister Hongshang, you are so annoying. You are teasing me again." Ling Chenxi said shyly.

"A princess of the royal family? Your Majesty, the royal family of Qinglan Kingdom still loves you very much, girl Xi." Li Jinyi said with a doting smile.

"That's right, Young Master Li, you don't know, this girl thinks the princess is troublesome." Ling Chenxuan said with a smile.

"Emperor Li, you and Protector Hongshang don't have to stand outside the door anymore, please come in and talk. You two can have a simple lunch here at noon! It's to celebrate the honor of Miss Xi." The Zhenguo General greeted with a smile.

"You're too polite, General Zhenguo. From now on, just call me Jinyi and forget about those honorific titles." Li Jinyi said modestly.

"That's great, don't use honorifics anymore, just call me grandpa and call my son uncle." General Ling said excitedly, indirectly acknowledging his relationship with Ling Chenxi!

"Haha, Emperor Li is here, why didn't you inform me?" Patriarch Ling walked in from outside with a smile.

"Greetings to father/grandfather/ancestor," everyone in the hall bowed.

"Your Majesty Ling, you are too polite. Please call me Jinyi from now on," Li Jinyi said.

"Then Jinyi can just call me the same as Xi girl and the others from now on. Haha!" Patriarch Ling said happily.

Everyone was talking and laughing in the meeting room when the butler came forward to report that lunch was ready and invited everyone to the dining room to eat.

Everyone came to the dining room and sat down one by one. The food was rich and everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Jinyi, is there something that brings you here to see Xier this time?" asked Patriarch Ling.

Li Jinyi glanced at Ling Chenxi and replied with a smile: "I came here to tell you that my father and Ling Bai will set off from Lingxi City to Lingtong City via the teleportation array at noon today.

I would like to ask Brother Chenxuan and Young Master Ling to bring Xier to pick them up. Do you have time?"

"I'm fine. As for brother, can you go?" Ling Chenxuan asked with a smile.

"Jinyi, given your father's status, it's not appropriate to let only Xi's siblings go to pick him up, right? How long will it take to get him back from Lingxi City by teleportation?" Elder Ancestor Ling said thoughtfully.

"Ancestor, it took us two days to come back last time." Ling Chenhong said.

"Then how about this, you three brothers and sisters will go to Lingtong City with Jinyi in the afternoon, and I will meet up with you tomorrow afternoon!" General Zhenguo said after thinking for a while.

"Jinyi, the Queen Mother is Xi's great aunt. Xi'er was raised by her since she was a child. She heard about your story and wants to meet you.

And your marriage will have to be approved by her in the future. I wonder if you and your father can meet her?" General Ling asked with a smile?

"I'll ask my father about this when he comes. I have no problem with it. After all, Xi's elders are also my elders." Li Jinyi said respectfully.

"Ancestor, grandfather, father, I have to go to the palace in the afternoon to ask for leave and hand over. Young Master Li has to wait for me. Is that okay?" Ling Chenxuan asked.

"Brother, don't worry, we will wait for you. We will never abandon you at home," Ling Chenxi said mischievously.

"Then I'll take Xier out for a walk this afternoon and see if there are any treasures suitable for her cultivation. Thank you, brothers, for making the arrangements and coming directly to the auction house to meet us." Li Jinyi nodded and said.

"Oh? That's great. Xier, you must follow Jinyi carefully and learn more." Elder Ling instructed.

Ling Chenxi was delighted and nodded repeatedly. After dinner, Li Jinyi, Ling Chenxi and Hong Shang said goodbye to the Ling family and left the mansion together.

After leaving the General's Mansion, Hong Chang said, "Palace Master, Princess, you guys go take a look. I won't follow you. I'll go back to the auction house first."

"Sister Hongshang, it will be more lively if we go together." Ling Chenxi said, taking her hand.

"Girl Xi, even though it's winter in Kyoto now, the sun is still very strong during the day, so you don't need me to follow you. Can you bear to leave me alone to watch you and the Palace Master being so affectionate?" Hong Chang said jokingly with a smile.

"Oh, Sister Hongshang, you're talking about me again. It's up to you." Ling Chenxi said shyly, stomping her feet.

"Hongshang, go ahead and arrange a place for your father to stay when he comes. Find out if there are any good houses near Kyoto and buy one!

A courtyard with four entrances will do. If there is none in the city, look for one near the suburbs. It would be best if there is a back garden where you can grow things. "Li Jinyi arranged.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Hong Chang received the order and walked towards the auction house.

"Ayi, why did you buy the yard?" Ling Chenxi asked in confusion.

"I don't have a house in Qinglan Country except the courtyard in Lingxi City. Every time I come here, I stay at the auction house. It's not convenient now." Li Jinyi said as he walked with Ling Chenxi

"Why is it inconvenient?" Ling Chenxi asked.

"Our relationship is now public, and we have a yard here. When the old man and grandfather come over, they will have a place to stay. They can't just stay at your house!

Besides, it will be more convenient to have a house when we discuss marriage. A discount store is a business after all." Li Jinyi stopped and said to Ling Chenxi with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm still young, but I didn't say I would definitely marry you." Ling Chenxi said and ran away embarrassedly, turning back and making a naughty face.

Li Jinyi smiled helplessly and said, "Don't walk too fast, be careful not to bump into someone~~."

They strolled along the streets, enjoying their rare leisure time.
