The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Xue Ruoyu was left in Jiangxuexuan to take care of her pregnancy, and Xue Zhiyi returned to the banquet alone.

As soon as she came back, she noticed Fu Rongxinxin's eyes staring at her. Although she was smiling, her eyes were cold, as if she wanted to skin her alive.

Fu Rongxin is not a fool, it is impossible that he is unaware of her actions.

Xue Zhiyi just smiled back at her.

At this moment, the female messenger who was reporting the incident shouted, "Princess Anle is here!"

"Princess Anle...it's Princess Anle..."

Hearing the voice, everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other, and they all stood up and bowed.

I saw several women coming with their brows furrowed and heads lowered. They were all wearing official robes and black gauze hats on their heads, all dressed like female officials.

In addition, there were more than ten palace maids following closely behind, burning incense and fanning, and the scene was quite grand.

"Who is Princess Anle? With this kind of ceremony, I thought she was a princess..." Fu Jiamin couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Fu Rongxin glanced at her and secretly mocked her ignorance.

Not only did she look like a princess, but even a princess didn't look as good as Princess Anle.

This is because Princess Anle is the daughter of the Empress Dowager's only daughter, Princess Yongning, and Duke Lin'an.

Later, after Duke Lin'an died for his country and Princess Yongning committed suicide for love, the ten-year-old Princess Anle, Huo Zhiyu, was taken to the palace by the Empress Dowager and raised.

The empress dowager's love for her daughter, which had nowhere to go, was all poured into this little princess.

It can be said that Huo Zhiyu is the most noble lady among noble ladies, and the most distinguished lady in the entire Yong Dynasty.

I could only see the moon surrounded by stars, but the appearance of Princess Anle could not be seen clearly because of the curtain.

Her skirt hung to her feet, the gold threads on it were embroidered with intricate and exquisite patterns, and the rings and pendants on her body jingled with every step she took.

Along with the sweet and pleasant fragrance, a sweet and slightly childish voice came from far away and said, "No need to be polite. Everyone, stand up."

The voice seemed a little delicate, but not arrogant. Although it was noble, it was not arrogant.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl wearing a pink brocade skirt with folds, an embroidered cloud-patterned jacket with wide sleeves, and her black hair was combed into a pair of cute lily buns. The crown on her head was gorgeous, but not as extravagant and complicated as Fu Jiamin's. Her little face could indeed support such exquisiteness and splendor.

However, Fu Jiamin and Fu Jiahui were both stunned: because Princess Anle looked very small, and was clearly just a child.

Princess Anle Huo Zhiyu has a smile as beautiful as a flower, a pair of small dimples, her chin is always slightly tilted up, her eyes are open and generous, and she enjoys the courtesy of everyone as a matter of course, as if all the love in the world is naturally focused on her.

Looking at her, Xue Zhiyi just sighed slightly in his heart.

Unfortunately, the good luck of this little princess seemed to only last for the first ten years of her short life.

The little princess is now thirteen years old, but Xue Zhiyi knows that in just two years, the Queen Mother she relies on will pass away, and she, who has never suffered any hardship since childhood, will be sent to Beidi to marry.

Although her second brother, the successor Lin'an Hou, fought desperately, he still could not change her fate of marrying a foreign prince.

The Huo family has been resisting the Northern Di in the northwest for many years. Duke Lin'an and his eldest son died at the hands of the Northern Di. The Northern Di and the Huo family have a deep blood feud, and the mountains are high and the roads are long. Xue Zhiyi in his previous life did not know what the fate of this little princess was later.

But come to think of it, it's not that good.

Princess Anle was a noble lady, so it was definitely not something that an unmarried girl like Xue Zhiyi could handle and receive.

Upon hearing that she was coming, Fu Ling brought all the ladies to the garden.

The banquet that was originally held in the main hall was moved to the garden.

Xue Zhiyi consciously gave up the main seat: "Please take a seat, Princess."

The little princess naturally stretched out her hand and placed it on the hand of the female official beside her: "Let's go, Chai Yue."

The female official named Chai Yue, who looked to be in her early twenties, was very serious. Upon hearing what was said, she just raised her hand respectfully and helped Huo Zhiyu to the main seat.

"Thank you, Sister Xue. Please take a seat too." Huo Zhiyu smiled sweetly, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face.

Fu Ling also came forward, but facing this little girl who was only thirteen years old, she did not dare to slack off in her expression or actions.

Originally, the Xue family just casually handed out the invitation, but they didn't expect that the Huo family would actually come. This surprised Fu Ling and caught her off guard.

After all, she didn't think Xue Hanshu's wedding was honorable enough to invite such distinguished guests.

"I am deeply honored that Your Highness has come to the Xue family. If I have not been able to entertain you well, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Huo Zhiyu was young, with some chubby baby fat on her face, which gathered at the corners of her mouth when she smiled.

"Madam Xue, you don't have to be polite. Just treat me as a junior. I just had nothing to do in my boudoir, so I specially asked my grandmother for grace to go out of the palace with my second brother to have some fun."

"It's rare to see Sister Anle leave the palace, but have you finished the books that the Royal Grandmother asked you to read?"

The voice that suddenly sounded was warm and had a hint of magnetism. Although it was young, it had an irresistible majesty.

As soon as this sound came out, the entire octagonal pavilion suddenly became quiet.

Xue Zhiyi's heart was like a huge rock falling into a lake, causing huge waves...

Her hands hidden under her sleeves were clenched tightly, making a clicking sound.

After a brief discussion, everyone stood up and bowed.

The level of respect this time was even greater than when Princess Anle came.

Xue Zhiyi regained his composure and quickly followed everyone else's actions and knelt down.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Gong!"

Xue Zhiyi's fiancé, Prince Gong Gu Shichong.

Perhaps because of the presence of these two important figures, the focus of the banquet completely shifted to the garden, and Fu Ling simply ordered people to set up tables and chairs there.

The whole garden suddenly became lively. Not only these unmarried young ladies, but also masters and ladies from various families gathered here.

Xue Zhiyi glanced at the man quietly.

In the previous life, Xue Zhentong was a follower of Prince Gong, and Prince Gong also needed the Minister of Revenue as a money bag to plan for him, so very early on, he asked his followers to advise the emperor to choose a concubine for him, and he tampered with the list of candidates to marry Xue Zhiyi to her as her principal wife, and arranged for her to get married when she reached the age.

In fact, this engagement is more like one between Xue's eldest daughter and Prince Gong than between Xue Zhiyi and Gu Shichong.

The Xue family's original plan was to wait for Fu Rongxin to restore her true identity before marrying Prince Gong. By that time, Prince Gong would have almost secured his position in the court.

In this way, Fu Rongxin could naturally become the Princess of Gong first and then the Queen.

Except for the fact that Prince Gong lost power for a while during his reign, which led to the Xue family, who were his followers, being accused of crimes and eliminated by political enemies, everything else basically developed as they planned.

Before his death, Xue Zhiyi did learn that Gu Shichong had ascended the throne and that Fu Rongxin would be crowned queen.

As for what happened after her death, she didn't know.

She didn't know, but Fu Rongxin knew.

Ever since Prince Gong came into everyone's sight, Fu Rongxin has been lowering her head even lower.

She knew that although Prince Gong successfully ascended the throne, the final winner was Prince Sheng.

At this moment, she avoided her husband in her previous life like the plague. She wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it, for fear that Prince Gong would favor her again.

"Why is Brother Gong Wang controlling me?"

Among all the people, only Princess Anle Huo Zhiyu had no fear of Prince Gong. Instead, she tilted her head and flirted with her.
