Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

When Li Wenmin returned, the Duke and Duchess were dragging their three children toward the largest tent, which was led by a set of grand stairs that seemed to go on forever.

Xueyue nervously followed the twins, fiddling with her fingers. She lowered her head and focused on every step. She didn't want to attract the attention of the Fourth Prince, even though he had been watching her since she came out of the tent.

"Your Majesty, the merciful Emperor Wuyi, wishes you everlasting wealth and good health," the twins said in unison, bowing in greeting.

When Xueyue found that every pair of eyes in the royal family was focused on her, she swallowed. She had not yet bowed. She knelt nervously, "Your Majesty—"

"I think you've been doing well, little girl." The Emperor saw her stiffen and her serious expression suddenly turned a little funny, then she looked up at him in confusion.

“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I was raised generously by the Duke and Duchess.” Xueyue hoped her voice wasn’t as shaken as her heart. She was confused by his attention to her, as if he knew her. But she didn’t remember meeting him.

"I can see that you have become a great beauty."

The royal family resisted the urge to raise their eyebrows in curiosity. The emperor rarely praised people, nor did he treat people so kindly. But who is this girl?

"Indeed, Your Majesty, she is very beautiful." The Queen looked at the girl from head to toe and said thoughtfully. "What is your name?"

"Xue Yue, Your Majesty."

"Only Xueyue?" The queen raised her eyebrows and glanced at her sister-in-law, Duchess Li Qixing.

The Duke opened his mouth to confirm what the Queen said, but the Queen interrupted and said, "Her full name is Li Xueyue."

“Ali?” The queen smiled curiously and glanced at the Duke. Indeed, Xueyue was very similar to him, but also a little different. She looked like the Duke, but not like her father’s daughter.

"Interesting." Lone Eagle said, his eyes falling on Xueyue's face. "You look a lot like—"

"She looks a lot like me, doesn't she?" King Li Shenyang interrupted and walked in front of Xueyue.

"Ah, yes. But you are not the one I have in mind." Gu Feiying was interrupted and smiled bitterly. She glanced at the emperor, who did not seem to mind the question.

"Xueyue, what competition are you participating in?" the emperor asked, turning his gaze to her hazel eyes. He thought she would look away, but she maintained eye contact - he didn't know whether it was intentional or not.

"Archery and sword fighting, your majesty."

“What about sports for women?”

Xueyue shook her head: "I'm not interested in them."

The Emperor raised an eyebrow, then nodded to the Duke. "You have raised an interesting girl."

Xueyue tried to ignore someone's sharp gaze, which seemed to bore a hole in her head. She knew who was staring at her.

"Yes, I am. I'm proud of her." King Li Chenyang chuckled.

"Like any father should do." The Emperor smiled, his voice rich and warm. "You are forgiven."

The Li family members bowed and went downstairs, followed closely by Xueyue.

"Looking forward to your performance." Suddenly a voice sounded, causing the whole family to stop.

Xueyue swallowed her saliva, turned around and smiled bitterly. "Thank you, Fourth Prince Wang Longhe." She said, and Wang Longhe smiled and nodded.

Even though a storm of anxiety was brewing inside her, her expression remained passive and calm. He was one of the eligible bachelors in the country. As the crown prince, he could choose anyone he wanted from here. Including her. The thought made her shiver all over and goose bumps crawled up her arms.

The twins exchanged glances. There was obvious contempt in their eyes. When Xueyue caught up, Li Wenmin stood behind her, and Li Chenyang stood beside her, blocking the mocking gaze of the Fourth Prince.

“After all the families have paid their respects to the Emperor and the Empress, I will announce that the competition has begun.” Duchess Li Qixing said with a smile to Xueyue, who had been in a daze since returning to the tent.

“You look beautiful in your dress today.” Duchess Li Qixing chuckled and brushed a strand of hair behind Xueyue’s ear. She still had her baby hair, which framed her face perfectly. She found it amusing when her hair behaved as if it had a mind of its own.

"The maid told me that you prepared this dress yourself. It's very beautiful. Thank you." Xueyue smiled brightly.

"Can I do that now? Then I'll have the tailor make you some more clothes. It seems that white and blue suit you very well and complement your skin tone."

Xueyue's smile widened. "You don't have to do this. I haven't tried on the other clothes you ordered for this competition yet." She said thoughtfully, not wanting to waste any more money.

King Li Chenyang silently agreed with Xueyue's statement. He was somewhat fortunate that she was not the kind of woman who would spend money lavishly on clothes and jewelry. Of course, the Li family was rich, and the money could last for centuries, but it was better not to spend too much money on useless things.

Over the years, he has become more and more fond of Xueyue, and even secretly bought her various new equipment for her hobbies.

Due to frequent summons to the court, the time spent with his wife was significantly shortened. The twins were always busy with their careers and had no time to accompany their mother. However, Xueyue was always there to please the Duchess and cheer her up.

Xueyue's arrival was greatly welcomed by the Duke, and the Duchess had never seen a sad expression on Duchess Li's face since Xueyue was brought to their home.

Suddenly, the noise outside the tent gradually subsided.

The voices turned to whispers and then to complete silence as a powerful man with authority walked in. Seeing this handsome man in a perfectly fitted robe that covered his muscles, everyone was speechless.

Many women were attracted to him when they saw his appearance. Is it possible for a human to be so good-looking? Although there seemed to be an aura of danger and darkness around this man, women were still attracted to him.

The mothers pulled their daughters closer, and the maids tidied up the eldest daughters' appearance. Suddenly, the daughters looked more beautiful than before.

"Oh my god...what would I have to do to marry my daughter to him!"

"I have never seen a man as charming and yet terribly cold as this man..."

There was a lot of discussion and the women chattered excitedly.

Xueyue was also very curious about what was going on. Because the curtain was slightly opened, she saw a man walking towards the stairs leading to the emperor and empress in the imperial tent.

The emperor stood up from his throne with a proud and bright smile on his face.

No one dared to move or make a sound. The empty field was so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be heard.

The man had a blank expression on his face and saluted the emperor with his fists clasped together. His stance almost called out for authority and wealth.

"Meet the Wuyi Divine Emperor."

That's it.

There was no flattery or praise for the emperor. The men's greetings were simple and straightforward. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be tried for offending the king and an order for beheading would be issued.

But their doubts vanished when they saw the doting looks on the Emperor and Empress' faces. This man was so favored by the country's rulers that it was enough for mothers to exchange glances with their daughters. They realized who he really was - one of the most eligible bachelors in the country.
