Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Xue Ning looked at Aunt Qin and said indifferently: "Aunt, you should know that Jing'er is a concubine's daughter. It is a blessing from heaven for her to marry a young man from a noble family as his principal wife." Her voice was icy and chilling.

When Aunt Qin heard this, her face turned extremely pale. Her lips trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched, but she did not dare to refute a word.

After a while, she forced a smile and replied softly, "Miss, you are right. I understand." However, her eyes were full of reluctance and anger.

After Xue Ning turned and left, Haiyan, the maidservant beside Aunt Qin, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Aunt, why is the eldest daughter so anxious to marry off the second daughter? Has she already known your plan?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qin's face suddenly turned gloomy, and her eyes revealed a trace of panic. She bit her lip, thought for a moment, and whispered to Haiyan, "Go and tell An Yu that the plan has changed."

Haiyan nodded and left in a hurry to carry out the mission. Aunt Qin frowned and fell into deep thought. She muttered to herself that if Xue Ning really knew her plan, it would be a big trouble. She had to take action as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous...

Inside Prince Xuan's mansion, a guard ran in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, there is news that General Xue is ill."

Hearing this news, the corners of King Xuan's mouth slightly raised. He was secretly delighted. This was a rare opportunity! So he immediately ordered: "Go and prepare a thousand-year-old ginseng. I will personally take it to the General's Mansion to visit General Xue."

"Yes, sir!" the guard responded, then turned and left.

King Xuan sat on the chair, thinking happily: "I must seize this opportunity and make her look at me with new eyes."

Soon, the thousand-year-old ginseng was ready, and King Xuan took it to the General's Mansion. Along the way, he imagined the scene after meeting General Xue, and his heart was full of anticipation.

Finally arriving at the General's Mansion, King Xuan got off the carriage and walked into the mansion. With a smile on his face and a thousand-year-old ginseng in his hand, he looked very confident and proud.

"Your servant greets His Majesty." A maid bowed in surprise when she saw King Xuan.

"I heard that General Xue was ill, so I came here specially to visit him." King Xuan replied with a smile.

The maid hurriedly welcomed King Xuan into the living room and informed him of General Xue's situation. King Xuan frowned slightly but remained calm.

Soon, Xue Huaian came out, looking a little pale. King Xuan hurried forward to greet him and express his concern.

"General Xue, are you in good health? I brought a thousand-year-old ginseng, I hope it will be of help to you." King Xuan said with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just a minor problem. It's no big deal." Xue Huaian replied politely.

King Xuan smiled and shook his head. "General Xue, you don't have to be so polite. I have always admired you, and I came here to express my respect."

As he spoke, King Xuan handed the thousand-year-old ginseng to Xue Huaian. Xue Huaian took the ginseng, looked at King Xuan gratefully, and then invited King Xuan to sit down and drink tea.

The two chatted about some things, and King Xuan took the opportunity to ask Xue Huaian about military issues, and General Xue answered them one by one. King Xuan listened with great interest and nodded in praise from time to time.

King Xuan suddenly asked, "Is Princess Qingping in the mansion?"

Xue Huaian noticed King Xuan's intention, and said with a smile, "Ning'er is wielding swords and guns. I'm afraid my son is going to the martial arts training ground now."

When King Xuan heard this, he said nothing more.

Before he knew it, it was already getting dark, and King Xuan stood up to say goodbye. Xue Huaian saw him off and thanked him for his visit.

After leaving the General's Mansion, King Xuan was in a very good mood. He felt that this visit was very successful. Not only did he get closer to General Xue, but he also gained his recognition.

After returning to the palace, King Xuan happily said to the people around him: "Today is such a pleasant day!"

After Xue Ning returned home and learned that King Xuan had been there, he was shocked and hurried to his father's room.

"Knock knock! Father, your daughter is back." She stood at the door and knocked twice gently, with a hint of anxiety and worry in her tone.

"Ning'er, come in." The father's gentle and steady voice came from inside.

Xue Ning pushed open the door, walked into the room, and saw his father sitting at the desk, looking much better than before.

"Dad, how are you?" she asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.

"Father is fine now, he just needs to rest for a while." Xue Huaian replied with a smile.

"That's good. My daughter was worried to death." Xue Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help nagging, "Father, don't scare me like this again in the future."

"Okay, okay, my dear daughter." Xue Huaian touched her head lovingly, "By the way, Ning'er came to see me in such a hurry, is there something wrong?"

"My daughter heard that King Xuan is coming today, so I came to ask you, father, what he is doing in the mansion?" Xue Ning looked at her father nervously, not knowing whether King Xuan had said anything.

Xue Huaian frowned slightly, as if he remembered something unpleasant, but soon regained his composure: "It's nothing serious, just some court affairs."

Xue Ning heard that her father didn't want to talk more, so she nodded obediently: "Then your daughter won't disturb your father's rest. If your father still feels unwell, please be sure to tell your daughter." After that, she gently closed the door and left.

However, when she left, she didn't notice the worry on her father's face...

Xue Jing also learned that King Xuan had been to the mansion, and hated his father for not introducing him to the king.

Xue Jing was furious in the room. She swept everything on the table to the floor to vent her dissatisfaction. "Why? Why doesn't Daddy let me see King Xuan?" She gritted her teeth and said to herself.

Meanwhile, Xue Ning was also thinking about King Xuan's intentions. She always felt that things were not that simple, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

A few days later, Xue Ning received an invitation from King Xuan to attend a poetry meeting. She was a little hesitant when she held the invitation.

When Xue Jing found out, she went to Xue Ning's room. As soon as she entered, she saw Xue Ning sitting in front of the window in a daze, the sunlight shining on her, reflecting a hint of sadness.

"Sister, I made a dessert for you to try." Xue Jing said gently, her voice as soft as the spring breeze.

Xue Ning came back to his senses and looked towards the door, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Jing'er, why are you here?"

Xue Jing walked in with a smile on her face, and Hai Mu behind her carefully held a bowl of silver sugar. The dessert in the bowl was crystal clear, like a precious gem, exuding an alluring aroma.

"Sister, I heard that you have been in a bad mood recently, so I made this dessert for you, hoping it can make you happier." Xue Jing said softly, her eyes full of concern.

Xue Ning looked at Xue Jing, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Jing'er." Then she looked at the silver sugar in the bowl and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"

"Yes, sister." Xue Jing nodded with a smile, "This is the craft I learned from the Western Regions. It is made with the best materials and the most sophisticated craftsmanship. Come and try it!"

Xue Ning picked up the spoon and gently scooped a spoonful of silver sugar into her mouth. Instantly, a strong milky and sweet taste spread, intoxicating her. She savored the delicious taste and felt the love of her sister.

"It's delicious, Jing'er." Xue Ning exclaimed with a satisfied smile on his face.

Seeing this, Xue Jing also smiled happily.

Suddenly, Xue Ning swayed as if he was drunk and fell headfirst onto the table.

"Sister, sister..." Xue Jing on the side pretended to push Xue Ning, but there was a cunning light in her eyes.

"Sister must be sleepy. In that case, let her have a good rest." Xue Jing said softly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.

"Hurry up and find the invitation that King Xuan gave her!" Xue Jing lowered her voice and gave orders to Hai Mu, the maid beside her.

Hai Mu nodded in understanding, quickly walked to Xue Ning's desk and began to search.

After a while, she found the invitation sent by King Xuan among a pile of papers.

"Have you found it?" Xue Jing asked impatiently.

Hai Mu nodded and handed the invitation to Xue Jing.

"Very good, let's go." Xue Jing smiled with satisfaction, then turned and left.

Before walking out of the room, she looked back at Xue Ning who was still lying on the table, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Has that girl been dealt with?" Xue Jing asked Hai Mu in a low voice.

"Yes, miss. I have arranged for Haixia to go to the east of the city to buy cakes. She shouldn't be back too early." Hai Mu replied respectfully.

"That's good." Xue Jing sighed softly, a smug smile appearing on her face.

She walked out of the room with light steps, and Hai Mu followed her closely, holding the precious invitation in his hand.
