The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

This scene and these words immediately focused everyone's attention on Bai Yuxin and this woman.

Being able to wear palace clothes and be followed by palace maids, this woman must be a county lady, a princess, or a princess. How could the Yongyi Marquis's mansion invite such a person? If it was the birthday of Yongyi Marquis or his wife, they could have invited a prince or princess.

Yang Qi was unsure of the woman's identity, so he could only secretly imitate the reactions of those around him. When the people present saw the woman, they all bowed together, and Yang Qi did not fall behind. When bowing, he deliberately lowered his head to avoid everyone seeing his mouth shape: "Greetings, Princess Cheng'an."

It turned out that this woman was actually the Princess of Cheng'an, the daughter of Princess Heshou and Gong Bo. Princess Heshou was the daughter of the late emperor's favorite concubine Hui. She was deeply loved by the late emperor, so she was disliked by the then empress, now the empress dowager. Later, the empress dowager wanted to make Princess Heshou leave the capital and marry into Mongolia under the pretext of marriage.

However, Mongolia and the Western abductions have always been two concerns of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Now, although Mongolia has surrendered to the Tianyuan Dynasty on the surface, it is recruiting soldiers. Over time, Mongolia has become stronger and more confident in resistance. Mongolia has become more rebellious against the Tianyuan Dynasty and is eyeing the imperial power of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

How could Concubine Hui bear to let her daughter marry into a Mongolian country that could rebel at any time? Therefore, under Concubine Hui's operation and planning, He Shou quickly married Gong Fang, who was not good at civil and military affairs. Fortunately, Gong Fang had a hereditary earldom and the protection of the title. Even if he could not become a powerful official in this life, he could still have food and clothing. If not, Concubine Hui would not have chosen him among all the eligible men in the court.

Gong Fang was a weak and kind person, and married the eccentric Princess Heshou, so his status in the family was always low. Later, Princess Heshou's daughter, Princess Cheng'an, was doted on and became famous for her arrogance in the capital.

If Yang Qi hadn't known that she was his biological daughter, he would have thought that Princess Heshou was flattering Princess Cheng'an.

Yang Qi had heard of the "reputation" of Princess Cheng'an before. In her previous life, the greatest thing about Princess Cheng'an's life was her infatuation with the Crown Prince. It was said that in order to marry the Crown Prince, Princess Cheng'an not only dared to show her love in public many times, but also did many inappropriate things. Because every action was so shocking, even Yang Qi knew about it.

However, after living for two lifetimes, Yang Qi still saw the legendary "Princess Cheng'an" for the first time. She was indeed beautiful and good-looking. It was said that Princess Cheng'an looked very much like Concubine Hui back then. It seemed that Concubine Hui was able to dominate the harem because of her good looks. Today, Princess Ancheng was wearing a long red gauze, a necklace made of pure gold, and a set of exquisite and beautiful headgear made of pure gold. She looked so rich that she looked like a nouveau riche!

Yes, she is a nouveau riche. Logically speaking, Princess Heshou was a princess of the same dynasty, so noble, but her daughter is a bit mercenary. With this kind of attitude, how could Yuan Ruiyuan be interested in her! After all, Yuan Ruiyuan's previous life's crown princess was Bai Yuxin.

Princess Cheng'an smiled and accepted the greetings from everyone, then said to Bai Yuxin, "Miss Bai, what do you think of my proposal?"

Bai Yuxin did not show any fear towards Princess Cheng'an: "Princess Cheng'an, today is a good day for the Marquis Yongyi's Mansion. You must listen to the host's arrangements regarding these things." Although Princess Cheng'an is a royal relative, she is not favored by the emperor. In terms of power in the court, the Bai Mansion is far superior to Princess Heshou's family.

Since the first time she met Princess Cheng An, Bai Yuxin felt a deep hostility. It was probably because Cheng An had already thought that Bai Yuxin was her biggest enemy.

Feng Lian listened to the confrontation between the two and knew that it was time for her to make a move, but she hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to break the deadlock. It was Yang Lan who spoke first: "Princess Cheng'an, today is the birthday party of my uncle. If you want to write a poem, you need to make some arrangements. Sister Yuxin is good at music, why not let Sister Yuxin play it? The zither is ready." Then, Yang Lan pointed to the zither in the middle of the backyard.

Bai Yuxin smiled and looked at Yang Lan, then said with a hint of sarcasm: "Sister Lan, you are too kind. I am just killing time when I have nothing to do on weekdays."

Nowadays, when the girls of Tianyuan Dynasty get together, they mostly chat or play games. If there is poetry writing at the gathering, it will be written on the post. Princess Cheng'an knew that she was not reasonable enough, so she smiled and said, "I just don't know if we will have this blessing today."

Bai Yuxin knew that he couldn't avoid it today: "Then I'll show off my ugliness." Bai Yuxin walked to the piano and played a song "High Mountains and Flowing Water". Yang Qi had played this song in his previous life. He didn't expect that Bai Yuxin could play it at such a young age with the feeling of "as majestic as a mountain and as vast as a river or sea". She was really talented.

After the song was over, the whole audience fell into silence.

Princess Cheng An was the first to speak: "She is truly the most talented woman. The sound of her zither is truly heavenly."

Yang Qi was standing a little far away, and Feng Lian didn't go in either. She muttered, "She's really pretending. If you don't know, you'd think we're holding a birthday party at her mansion."

This sounded a bit sour. Feng Lian must be jealous that Princess Cheng An stole her limelight. However, Princess Cheng An was really too exaggerated. She was the host.

Yang Qi looked at the women in front of him talking and laughing, and couldn't help wondering what Yuan Ruiyuan's future wife would be like? Although Bai Yuxin was beautiful, decent and intelligent, she was a wolf in sheep's clothing; Princess Cheng'an was not smart at first glance, and her family had no background; Yang Lan was not only inferior to Bai Yuxin in family background, but also had a secret crush on the fifth prince.

Yang Qi went through them one by one. Who among those present didn't like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? At least in their eyes, Yuan Ruiyuan must be the first and best choice.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Bai Yuxin, Princess Cheng'an and Song Yanglan, Yang Qi felt relieved. Although it was eye-catching to be a disciple of Mr. Yang, with Yanglan in front, few people would notice him.

Unable to hold back, Yang Qi peeled another orange and put it in his mouth. The fruits of the Yongyi Marquis were all extremely fresh, and you could never get such fruits on weekdays. In fact, the decline of the Song Guogong Mansion can be seen from the supply of fruits. Although he was a duke, only Yang Lan and the old lady could eat the precious fruits. Most of the novelties that Yang Lan got were sent by the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
