Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

——Jingguo

At this time, the Queen's Wanfu Palace was bustling with activity.

The queen was seen sitting on the high seat, with Concubine Yu and the eldest princess sitting on her left, and Princess Changle and Commandery Princess Roujia sitting on her right.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the graceful woman in the center of the stage - it was Gongsun Xihua.

She walked lightly in front of everyone and performed a standard court ceremony gracefully: "Your servant greets the Empress, Concubine Yu, the Princess, Princess Changle, and Princess Roujia."

"No need to be polite, Xihua." The queen said with a smile, and raised her hand to signal Jiang Xixi to stand up.

Princess Changle stared at the beautiful girl in front of her with her eyes wide open, and kept saying, "Wow! So beautiful!"

"Sister Xihua, you said you would come to see me last time. I have been waiting for you!"

"Princess Changle, your servant..." Gongsun Xihua was about to explain, but was interrupted by a sudden voice of "Prince Jin is here!"

Following this shout, everyone stood up and looked towards the door. They saw a man in gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament slowly walking into the hall. He was Prince Jin, the fifth prince born to the queen.

Prince Jin smiled and bowed to everyone. His presence made the whole scene more solemn and warm.

When Prince Jin walked to his seat, everyone bowed again. Then, Prince Jin sat down elegantly, taking the first seat on the left, showing his status and position.

After Prince Jin took his seat, he looked around the room, looking at everyone one by one, and finally stopped at Gongsun Xihua. Jiang Xixi's heart tightened, for some reason, she felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in Prince Jin's eyes.

Prince Jin raised his lips slightly and said softly, "After meeting you today, Miss Gongsun is indeed stunningly beautiful."

Gongsun Xihua's face flushed with shyness when she heard this. She lowered her head and brows and replied softly, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jin, for your compliment."

Princess Changle, who was standing by, saw this and interrupted with a smile, "Brother, I feel embarrassed when you praise Sister Xihua like this!"

Prince Jin looked at Princess Changle lovingly, then turned to the Queen and said, "I came here this time to ask for a favor."

The Queen smiled and asked, "What is so important that you would trouble my son to come here in person?"

Prince Jin stood up and said respectfully, "I have heard that Miss Gongsun is very talented. Could you please ask Miss Gongsun to move to the garden and appreciate the chrysanthemums and recite poems with me?"

A hint of surprise flashed across the queen's eyes, but then she revealed a relieved smile. She nodded and agreed, "That's great. Xihua, you can go with Prince Jin."

Gongsun Xihua was secretly delighted. She raised her head and looked at Prince Jin. There was an imperceptible emotion in both of their eyes.

"Yes. I'll take my leave." Gongsun Xihua replied and followed Prince Jin out.

Gongsun Xihua and Prince Jin came to the gate of Wanfu Palace together. Gongsun Xihua said a little embarrassedly: "Prince, why do you come to see me so blatantly? Isn't this too bad?"

Prince Jin replied calmly, "What's wrong with that?"

Gongsun Xihua blushed and whispered, "I am just worried that the Queen will not agree with us being together... After all..."

Prince Jin interrupted her with a smile: "Don't worry, mother likes you very much."

Gongsun Xihua frowned slightly and said worriedly, "But I heard that the princess wants Princess Roujia to marry the prince. What should we do?"

Prince Jin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile: "I don't like Roujia, I like you like this."

Hearing this, Gongsun Xihua's cheeks instantly turned red. She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Prince~"

Prince Jin gently took Gongsun Xihua's hand and said, "Come on, accompany me to appreciate the chrysanthemums."

In the garden, chrysanthemums were in full bloom, colorful. Prince Jin and Gongsun Xihua strolled among them, admiring the beautiful scenery.

"When flowers are in bloom, pick them immediately. Don't wait until there are no more flowers left to pluck." Prince Jin suddenly chanted.

Gongsun Xihua was stunned and looked up at Prince Jin, only to see that his eyes were full of affection.

Prince Jin continued, "This flower and this scene are perfect for expressing my feelings. Gongsun Xihua, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I hope you can become my princess."

Gongsun Xihua was touched. She blushed and whispered, "Your Majesty, I am willing."

When Prince Jin heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face and he held Gongsun Xihua's hand tightly.

As luck would have it, the imperial concubine's maid passed by the garden at this time and saw them holding hands. A flash of surprise flashed across the maid's face, and then she showed an expression of watching a good show. She quickly turned around and ran towards the imperial concubine's bedroom in small steps.

"Empress, Empress!" the palace maid shouted as she ran.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic? A ghost is chasing you. What are you yelling about?" The imperial concubine frowned unhappily and said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered a secret." The palace maid ran to the imperial concubine breathlessly and said excitedly.

"Secret? What secret? Tell me quickly." The imperial concubine suddenly became alert and asked anxiously.

The maid leaned close to the Imperial Concubine's ear and told her everything she saw in the garden in a low voice. Of course, she also exaggerated the matter and made it sound more serious and complicated. After hearing this, the Imperial Concubine's face instantly became gloomy, and sparks of anger flashed in her eyes.

"This Gongsun Xihua is indeed having an affair with Prince Jin." The palace maid muttered.

"Lan'er is going to marry Gongsun Yuechan soon, but Gongsun Xihua is the one who has the phoenix destiny." The Imperial Concubine also muttered to herself.

The Imperial Concubine became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She decided that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She called her personal nanny and whispered something in her ear. The nanny took her orders and left in a hurry.

On the other side, Prince Jin and Gongsun Xihua were having a great conversation in the garden. Prince Jin told Gongsun Xihua that he had asked the emperor for a marriage, and Gongsun Xihua was delighted to hear that.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you." A young eunuch with a pale face and no beard walked quickly into the garden. With a hint of flattery and respect on his face, he said to Prince Jin carefully, "Your Highness, please move."

Prince Jin frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, "Got it, lead the way."

"Yes!" the young eunuch responded quickly, then turned around and led Prince Jin towards the palace.

As Prince Jin walked, he turned his head to look at the woman behind him, his eyes full of tenderness and love. He said to her softly, "Since my father is looking for me, I will be back soon. If you get tired of walking around, go to my mother's palace and wait for me."

"Well, Your Highness, go ahead." Gongsun Xihua nodded gently. Her voice was soft and pleasant, like a spring breeze blowing through Prince Jin's heart.

Prince Jin smiled slightly, then turned around and followed the eunuch away. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step revealed a kind of confidence and majesty. Gongsun Xihua stood quietly in place, watching Prince Jin go away. Her eyes were full of attachment and reluctance, but more of it was trust and determination.

After Prince Jin left, Gongsun Xihua slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She felt the cool breeze on her face and listened to the cheerful singing of the birds around her. She liked such quiet moments, which allowed her mind to relax and calm for a moment.
