The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

In the side hall of the South Courtyard, a group of Ming family branches became uneasy.

Over the years, they have become more and more domineering in the Ming family. However, no matter how domineering they are, they have never dealt with the royal family.

The most prominent figure I have ever come into contact with is the prefect of Muzhou.

They knew that someone had come from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion these two days, but they had not heard that Princess Haiyan had come.

Who is this Princess Haiyan?

Everyone was whispering and talking to each other.

Someone who was walking around and well-informed told what he knew, "It seems that the daughter of the current Protector of the Country, Tang Chuyu, was named a princess."

"That can't be possible. Doesn't Tang Chuyu only have sons and no daughters?"

"Who said that? There must be one. She must be a daughter born to one of the concubines!"

"Nonsense, can a daughter born to a concubine be named a princess? You must be thinking with your butt!"

"I know. She is the daughter of the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion who got married off. It seems that she married into some ruined marquisate..."

I just couldn't understand how a girl from a ruined marquis's mansion could become a princess?

Muzhou Jiangcheng is quite far away from the capital, so all the news is guesswork and there is no definite information.

No matter what everyone thought, the voice of "Princess Haiyan has arrived" really scared everyone.

That is the merchants' deep-seated awe of imperial power.

Surrounded by her maids and Ming Zhao, Princess Haiyan appeared in everyone's sight with dignity and radiance, like a goddess descending from heaven.

The Ming family's side branches were shocked. Ming Zhen!

That is clearly the bright and beautiful Mingzhen!

It's not uncommon to see beauties, but it's extremely rare to see someone so beautiful that heaviness can overwhelm one's head. That's right, everyone present felt as if they were being suffocated by the heaviness.

Her unique dignity and coldness made people dare not look directly at her. Even the words "Long live Princess Haiyan" were trembling.

Shi Anxia ignored the surprised and fearful looks of the crowd, slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, without shouting "stand up", and waited for Bei Hui to hand him a cup of hot tea.

She opened the lid of the teacup with her bare hands, slightly raised her orchid finger, and flicked the green tea soup with the tea lid.

After wiping her for a long time, she refused to drink. Then she slowly raised her head and looked at everyone and asked, "Who is the boss?"

The oldest people in the room were three old guys, who were of the same generation as Shi Anxia's great-grandfather Ming Chengyuan. They were Ming Chengzhong, Ming Chengyi, and Ming Chengfu. Together, they were almost 300 years old, with gray hair and long beards.

Upon hearing this, the three old men gave their names one after another, especially emphasizing that they were from the Cheng generation, which means they were of the same generation as Ming Chengyuan.

You are a teenage girl, and you are undergoing the kneeling ceremony of the older generation. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?

Shi Anxia was really not afraid.

Rules are made for those who push their limits. Since all the side branches have come out, don't be polite and kneel down first.

She can bear it!

Shi Anxia looked at the crowd of people kneeling in front of her and drank the first sip of tea. After a while, she asked again, "Who can explain to me why my great-grandfather was detained by you for so many days?"

Ming Chengzhong said in a hoarse voice, "Princess, please be wise and don't listen to one side. We only kept him in the manor to recuperate for the sake of his health. To say 'detained' is really an exaggeration."

A month ago, Ming Chengyuan fainted in the store. Several old guys were present at the time and took Ming Chengyuan away forcefully on the pretext of having invited a half-immortal to perform a ritual to exorcise evil spirits.

It was obvious that they were concerned about their eldest brother Ming Chengyuan's health, so they hid him in a farm in Songyuan Town and invited a doctor to accompany him.

The spring breeze and the fragrant flowers there are especially suitable for recuperation. But in the first two days, the main branch sent a group of young men who had barely grown their hair to take the person away forcefully.

Ming Zhao was worried that the princess was being deceived, so he sneered and said, "My great-great-grandfather has many children and grandchildren, his first wife is still alive, and his brothers are also here. How can you, the side branch, be so excited?"

They approached the side branches several times to ask for the person, but the other party refused to reveal the whereabouts of their great-great-grandfather, claiming that he was recuperating from an illness.

She once suspected that her great-great-grandfather had passed away and reported the matter to the authorities, but the officials dragged their feet and told them to handle their family affairs themselves.

Fortunately, my great-great-grandfather was found today.

Ming Chengyi sighed, with an expression of regret from an old man, "Zhao girl, don't you know how your great-great-grandfather got so angry? Why do you have to gossip about it in front of the princess?"

Ming Zhao's face turned red for a moment, and he suddenly clenched his fists.

Ming Chengfu followed closely, "It was you who did something shameful outside and brought disgrace to the Ming family, which made your great-grandfather so angry that he fainted on the spot. You still have the nerve to say that!"

No matter how strong and fierce Ming Zhao was, she was just a 17-year-old girl. She was scolded by her elders in public. She was filled with tears of grievance. "I said, I didn't bring shame to the Ming family!"

A girl named Ming Ruyi pressed her, "Is it true that you were abducted in Chongshan, Muzhou? Is it true that you disappeared for a day and a night? Does anyone know what happened to you during that day and night?"

Ming Zhao's face turned pale.

The kidnapping in Muzhou was true, and the disappearance for a day and a night was also true. Who would believe that nothing happened during that day and night?

In fact, the real malice of this world lies in the fact that who would care whether she is innocent or not?

As long as it goes against their own interests, they will throw countless dirty water on her. She acted too tough and blocked other people's way. The blood-sucking insects of the Ming family wanted to kill her.

The light in Ming Zhao's eyes gradually dimmed, as if someone had choked him by the neck, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Mingru felt quite proud that he had gained the upper hand with just a few words.

She is about the same age as Ming Zhao and is Ming Chengzhong's great-granddaughter. She has been at odds with Ming Zhao since she was a child, and the two have become increasingly at odds as they grow older.

Ming Chengzhong hypocritically scolded Ming Ruyi, "How can you, an unmarried girl, say such things? You are so dirty. How can the family education of our Ming family be like this... Humph, it will be a joke if it gets out. Go home and copy the family motto a hundred times in the Buddhist temple!"

"Yes, my great-granddaughter knows she is wrong." Ming Ruyi looked at Ming Zhao with contempt. She was very happy even though she was scolded.

Ming Ruyi's mother Liu was very unhappy when she saw her daughter being scolded. "Ruyi said the truth, which is still good to hear. What is spread outside is even more unbearable. She is shameless and complacent, but don't let it affect the marriage of other good children in my Ming family! Didn't her own brother also have his engagement broken off by the Zhou family?"

Shi Anxia watched coldly without interrupting.

The younger generations from the side branches all had their eyes wide open, as if it was all Mingzhao's fault that they couldn't find a good marriage.

Ming Rufei even covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed non-stop, "The second son of the Lin family originally planned to come to propose marriage in the middle of this month, but now he hasn't come yet. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

A murderous voice broke through the air from outside the door, "I'm afraid I don't like you!"
