Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Xue Ning frowned and asked in a serious tone: "Uncle Sun, my father has always been in good health. What happened yesterday that made him vomit blood?"

Sun Tao sighed and said with difficulty: "Miss, I don't know either! I just vaguely heard Aunt Qin mention the second young lady's marriage."

"Jing'er's marriage?" Xue Ning looked at Sun Tao in confusion, "She hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, right?"

Sun Tao nodded and replied, "The second young lady is now fourteen years old, not yet fifteen, but she is old enough to be married. Since you, the eldest young lady, went to the battlefield, the second young lady has been shopping and admiring flowers with several young ladies from aristocratic families every day. Now, many families have come to propose marriage."

Xue Ning couldn't help feeling a little worried when listening to Sun Tao's words.

"Then Aunt Qin wanted Jing'er to marry into the royal family? And then my father disagreed and quarreled?" Xue Ning asked in surprise. However, she was still a little curious, so she continued to ask: "Did they mention who they wanted Jing'er to marry?"

"It is very likely that this old servant seemed to have heard King Xuan..." Sun Tao said in a low voice.

"This... Father has clearly stated that our General's Mansion will never collude with the royal family and will only be loyal to the emperor." Xue Ning frowned, with a trace of worry in her eyes. She knew that once such a thing was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous. If Aunt Qin really had such a plan, then she must give up this idea immediately.

"Uncle Sun, who else knows about this?" Xue Ning's face became very solemn.

"At present, only the master, Aunt Qin and I know about it." Sun Tao answered truthfully.

After pondering for a moment, Xue Ning decided to keep his troops in place and observe the situation secretly.

"Uncle Sun, remember not to tell anyone about this." Xue Ning warned.

"Don't worry, Miss. I understand." Sun Tao nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards, Xue Ning left with an excuse that she was going to talk to her mother about how to solve the problem.

Xue Ning hurried to her father's room and saw her mother sitting by the bed, carefully feeding her father medicine. She hurried to the bed and asked with concern, "Mom, how is Dad now?" However, before her mother could answer, she was surprised to find that her father had woken up.

"Ning'er, your father is fine." Xue Huaian forced himself to sit up, revealing a weak smile, and comforted his daughter.

Xue Ning was delighted, but couldn't help asking, "Father, why did you suddenly vomit blood and faint? This makes my mother and I very worried." She stared at her father, hoping to get a clear answer.

Xue Huaian waved his hand and said to the servants, "You all leave." The servants hurriedly left the room.

After the servants left, Xue Huaian hesitated for a moment, then sighed and whispered to Xue Ning: "Aunt Qin wants to marry Jing'er to King Xuan as a concubine."

"What!" Cui Xiao's face changed.

"Aunt Qin, doesn't she know that we in the General's Mansion cannot take sides? This is putting us to death." Xue Ning said with some anger in his voice.

"Xiao'er, don't get excited." Xue Huaian patted Cui Xiao's hand gently and said soothingly: "I also think this matter is inappropriate, so I said I want to discuss it with you."

"Master, I think it's better to marry Jing'er to a noble family. We have no right to get involved with the royal family." Cui Xiao said with a frown.

"Yes, that's what I meant." Xue Huaian nodded, indicating that he agreed with Cui Xiao's idea.

"As for Ning'er's marriage..."

"Father, mother, Ning'er is not in a hurry." Xue Ning looked at them and said firmly, "The most important thing now is to solve Jing'er's problem."

"Well, Ning'er is right." Xue Huaian nodded in appreciation, then turned to look at Cui Xiao and asked, "Then what do you have in mind?"

"I think we can let Jing'er attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet next month. There will definitely be many young masters from aristocratic families present, and maybe she can meet the right person." Cui Xiao thought about it and then offered her suggestion.

"That's a good idea." Xue Huaian's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Then it's settled."

"But, I have another worry." Cui Xiao frowned and said with some worry: "What if Aunt Qin doesn't agree?"

"Don't worry about that. As long as we give Aunt Qin some time, I believe she will understand the interests involved." Xue Huaian comforted.

"I hope so." Cui Xiao sighed helplessly.

Xue Ning also nodded, "However, we must also be fully prepared. After all, Aunt Qin is not someone who compromises so easily."

"That's right." Xue Huaian agreed, "We can't take it lightly."

Xue Ning thought for a moment and suggested, "How about we test Aunt Qin's opinion first? See what she really thinks."

Cui Xiao agreed: "This method is feasible. Ning'er, find a chance to talk to Aunt Qin."

"Okay, I'll find a suitable time." Xue Ning replied.

One morning a few days later, Xue Ning ran into Aunt Qin in the garden.

"Aunt Qin." Xue Ning took the initiative to greet her.

"Oh, it's the eldest lady." Aunt Qin responded with a smile, but there was a hint of wariness in her eyes.

Xue Ning pretended to be nonchalant and chatted about family matters, then changed the subject and talked about Jing'er's marriage.

"Aunt Qin, what do you think about Jing'er's marriage?"

Aunt Qin was stunned for a moment, then said: "We have to think about this matter carefully. The Second Miss is still young, so there is no need to rush."

Xue Ning smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why not let Jing'er attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet next month? Maybe she can find her ideal husband."

Aunt Qin was silent for a moment. She naturally knew what the Hundred Flowers Banquet was, but letting Jing'er attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet would mean giving up the marriage with King Xuan.

Finally, she smiled and replied to Xue Ning: "Miss, your idea is very good. I will consider it carefully."
