The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

The carriage went all the way to the palace.

No matter how cold and depressing Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yao's side was, Ming Jin and Princess Fuhua's side was very lively.

"Have you met Yixian recently?"

Inside the carriage, Princess Fuhua held Mingjin in her arms and chatted about family matters for a while. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked this question.

Ming Jin's expression paused when he suddenly heard this name.

She guessed what her grandmother was going to say.

"No, I heard that the prince is in the military camp training new soldiers recently. The last time I saw the prince was when he invited my second brother and others to our house for dinner." Ming Jin still looked calm and replied with a smile.

Princess Fuhua also laughed and said, "It has been a while."

"Yes, my granddaughter heard that His Majesty and His Majesty are planning to arrange a marriage for the prince this time?" She took the initiative to talk about this matter, just like everyone who heard the news and gossiped about it.

"I heard that too."

Princess Fuhua smiled and said, "Your Majesty has always loved Yixian and is looking forward to having Yixian get married soon. It is time for him to get married."

Now that her granddaughter has been found, she certainly hopes that Yixian can live a good life as soon as possible.

However, compared to Yixian's good things, she cares more about Yanyan's.

Princess Fuhua held Mingjin's hand and said with a loving smile, "You should hurry up. Grandmother has been looking for you a lot recently. When there is a suitable candidate, you should go and meet them carefully and choose the one you like."

"grandmother--"

Mingjin didn't expect that the matter of Gu Mingheng, which he was chatting about, would actually fall upon him.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She never thought about getting married.

She hugged Princess Fuhua's arm and said half coquettishly and half seriously: "I don't want to get married, I just want to accompany you well."

"lies!"

Princess Fuhua did not listen to her on this matter. She held Mingjin's hand, looked at her and said, "You are still young, but grandma is old. How many years can she accompany you? Yixian will get married in the future, and I don't know if he will go back to the border. When grandma dies, if Yixian also dies, who will take care of you?"

Ming Jin pursed her lips and said, "My granddaughter doesn't need anyone to take care of her. She can take care of herself."

"You girl—"

Princess Fuhua still wanted to persuade her, but when she glanced at her face and thought about what she had experienced before, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken again.

She only treats her as a granddaughter because of her past experiences and doesn’t want to get married.

But it was precisely because of this that she was even more worried about being alone.

She is still here now, and Yanyan still has some hope and dependence on her.

When will she be gone too? How will her precious granddaughter live alone? Even if she really doesn't want to get married, having a child of her own and some blood ties is better than living alone in this world without any ties.

But this matter cannot be explained in just a few words.

What's more, they were going to the palace to celebrate Mingjin's birthday today, and Princess Fuhua didn't want to make her granddaughter feel uncomfortable at this juncture, so she just held Mingjin's hand and didn't say anything more about it.

Today's Qianqiu Banquet is held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

However, it was still early, so the female members of the family went to the Weiyang Palace where Empress Yuan was and got off the carriage. Since they were a family, it would be inappropriate for them to separate into two groups.

Mingjin supported Princess Fuhua and walked in front.

Mingyao accompanied Zhou Zhaoru and followed behind.

No matter what Zhou Zhaoru thought in her heart, since Mingyao had been promised to be Gu Changxuan's concubine, she was now half a member of the royal family. No matter how much she hated or was angry about her, she could not embarrass her at this time.

She also tried her best to put a smile on her face.

Just looking at Ming Jin walking in front of him, Zhou Zhaoru couldn't help but feel distracted and sad.

He was led to Weiyang Palace by palace servants.

Most of the officials and their wives who came to the banquet today have already arrived.

Princess Fuhua was of high rank and status, and when she arrived, even Empress Yuan stood up, and the other concubines and officials' wives all stood up to greet her.

Watching Princess Fuhua being supported by a young girl.

Seeing her clothes and appearance, everyone easily recognized her identity. She was the daughter of the marquis who was named Princess Changle by His Majesty.

It was Mingjin's birthday that day. Although many female relatives were present, there were also many who had not been there.

Mrs. Yuan was one of them.

However, when she saw Mingjin coming over, she didn't look at him for long and still held her precious granddaughter's hand.

Concubine Xian took another look at Mingjin.

Her look was gentle and kind, but there was a scrutiny in her eyes. On that birthday, An Cheng came back crying. She only found out what happened at the birthday party after asking around.

Although An Cheng was indeed a little too presumptuous that day.

She also taught her a lesson afterwards.

But she was also somewhat curious about the daughter of the marquis who had been missing for ten years.

Looking at it this way now, I can see that the girl has an outstanding appearance, is neither humble nor arrogant, and has very good manners. She outshines Ming Yao who is following behind her.

Although choosing Mingyao was a temporary measure at the beginning.

But such an obvious contrast still made Empress Xian feel a little ashamed.

Especially the Concubine Li who had always been at odds with her, was still smiling at her and said, "Oh, this is Concubine Xian's daughter-in-law?"

"I think he's a different person."

"After all, she is not the real owner. She is really trying to draw a tiger but ends up drawing a dog instead. I wonder if Sister Concubine Xian regrets it now?"

Concubine Li had a sharp tongue and usually said hurtful words that stabbed people directly in the heart.

Even someone as tolerant as Concubine Xian looked unhappy at this moment.

Not to mention Gu Jiarou.

Gu Jiarou's face turned ugly as soon as she saw Ming Jin. She hated Ming Jin in her heart. She originally wanted to find a chance to take revenge later, but she didn't expect that it would be reported to her father, resulting in her being confined to her house for a month.

Now it is finally released.

Hearing Concubine Li say this, her already ugly face suddenly became even gloomier.

"Empress Li——"

She opened her mouth to speak, but just as she opened her mouth, Concubine Xian grabbed her hand tightly.

"Look at what my sister said. This is a marriage arranged by His Majesty. How can I regret it? Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from heaven. I can only shed tears of gratitude." Empress Xian still looked gentle. After she finished speaking, she patted Gu Jiarou's hand.

"Go play with your sister Mingyao. You haven't seen each other for a long time."

Even if Empress Xian was dissatisfied with Mingyao, she would not embarrass Mingyao in such an occasion.

Gu Jiarou was somewhat reluctant.

She also felt that Mingyao was embarrassing now and not as likable to her as before.

But looking at the sarcastic Concubine Li on the side, and Ming Jin who was being spoken to by the Queen's hand, Gu Jiarou wanted to kill Ming Jin's arrogance so that she would know who has the final say here!

Thinking of this, Gu Jiarou smiled and agreed to go over.

"Sister Mingyao, come here. I'll take you to play with Shen San and the others. Shen San and the others just talked about you to me." Gu Jiarou acted like she and Mingyao were very close friends and completely ignored Ming Jin who was standing beside her.

"Mother, I'm taking Sister Ming out to play."

Queen Yuan was just about to ask her to take Mingjin with her, but after Gu Jiarou finished speaking, she took Mingyao and walked away.

Empress Yuan frowned slightly.

But Gu Jiarou was not her biological daughter after all, so she couldn't say anything.

Mingjin looked indifferent.

She really despised Gu Jiarou's methods and tricks.

It was the same in the past. Because I didn't like her, I deliberately led others to treat her coldly.

Besides, she was too lazy to deal with those people she hung out with. Besides, Sister Xu was there today, so she was not alone.

Just as she was thinking of saying something to Empress Yuan, she went to chat with Sister Xu, when she suddenly heard Concubine Li, who was sitting on her left, speak.

"Speaking of which, I just happen to have something that is related to Princess Changle."

Concubine Li's voice was as sweet as a yellow warbler, which could attract people's attention. As soon as she opened her mouth, almost everyone's attention fell on Concubine Li.

Some people also went to see Mingjin, wondering what was going on.

Mingjin also felt confused.

What could happen to Concubine Li that could have anything to do with her?

"Oh?"

Empress Yuan glanced at Ming Jin and saw that she was also confused. She didn't know what Concubine Li was going to say, but Empress Yuan still held Ming Jin's hand and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Concubine Li smiled and said, "I heard that a Tzu Chi Hall has recently opened in the city. I wonder if the Queen knows about it?"

Empress Yuan had heard about this.

However, she was so preoccupied with Yixian's affairs recently that she had no time to pay attention to this matter.

Is it possible...

Her heart moved and she suddenly looked at the girl in front of her.

Everyone also looked at Ming Jin and the smiling Concubine Li in surprise.

"Empress Li mentioned this matter. Could it be that this Ciji Hall is related to Princess Changle?" someone asked in surprise.

Concubine Li smiled and said, "That's right."

"I only learned about this yesterday when I was having dinner with my brother. Princess Changle took over hundreds of refugees outside the city who had nowhere to go. I heard that she is still teaching them to read and learn skills." Concubine Li sighed, "It's amazing that Princess Changle, at such a young age, has done such a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

After Concubine Li finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Concubine Xian beside her.

--really.

That kind and gentle face no longer had the calmness it had before, but was now filled with shock.

Concubine Li snorted and laughed.

She just doesn't believe that she doesn't regret it!

After all, we are all just ordinary people, why should we pretend to be Bodhisattvas?
