Xi Lingxue and the others returned all the way to Qingfengju, where the eldest prince and his companions were waiting.

"Sister, you are finally back."

"Three brothers, why are you standing at the door?"

"Knowing you'd be back today, I came to see you in advance."

"they are?"

"My three sworn brothers, this is my servant Biyun, this is her husband Chen Lu, and the other three are the guards I just bought, Jiuzhou, Jiusi, and Jiushuang."

"Let me introduce them to you. This is the eldest prince, this is Prince Lu, and this is Young Marquis Xue. They are all my sworn brothers."

"I pay my respects to the eldest prince, to Prince Lu, and to Young Marquis Xue."

"No gift."

Biyun looked at Xi Lingxue in surprise as to why the Third Princess called the First Prince her sworn brother and not the Emperor's brother.

"Sister, is Biyun your savior?"

"Yes, let's go in and talk first."

"Walk."

Four servants came over and greeted her, "Miss, you are back."

"I brought a few people with me so you can get to know each other. They will work at home from now on."

"Yes."

Sister, I have good news for you."

"What good news?"

"Father invites you to attend the banquet on Concubine Chen's birthday."

Xi Lingxue thought that she wanted to find an opportunity to meet Concubine Chen to test whether she still had any impression of her daughter, but she didn't expect that what she wished for would come true.

"When will the Concubine Chen celebrate her birthday?"

"the day after tomorrow".

"I went there on time that day."

"Let Lu Chen and Xue Lin come to pick you up that day. The princess and I will go first to avoid rumors that we are not getting along."

"it is good."

Xi Lingxue chatted with the eldest prince and others for a long time, and even had dinner at Xi Lingxue's house before leaving.

Soon it was the day of Concubine Chen’s birthday, and Xiangyun and Xiaotao dressed up Xi Lingxue.

She was dressed in a long white dress, a white silk gauze, and her hair was drooping in a bun with a pearl and jade hairpin inserted diagonally. She looked noble and elegant, yet with a childish look that was fascinating.

"Girl, you are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the princesses in the palace."

Xi Lingxue looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her face was a little immature, and still had a bit of girlish charm. She was much more beautiful than her modern self.

In modern times, people are so busy with training that they have no time to dress up. When they go on a mission, they dress casually and rarely dress so formally.

Now that I have to dress up so suddenly, I feel a little uncomfortable.

"Miss, the Prince and Young Marquis Xue are here."

"Go and report to my brother, I'll be there soon."

"Yes."

Xi Lingxue came to the main hall where they were drinking tea. When they saw her coming, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sister, you look so beautiful today."

“I’m not beautiful every day.”

"Brother, you said the wrong thing. Our sister is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water."

"That's pretty much it."

Xue Lin looked at Xi Lingxue and laughed, "Sister, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

"No way, my strength doesn't allow it."

"That makes sense, haha..."

There was laughter and joy throughout the main hall.

"Sister, this is the gift your brother prepared for you to give to the Concubine Chen."

Xi Lingxue was very touched by how well they took care of her.

"Thank you, brother. I have prepared a gift for Concubine Chen."

"Then you can leave it at home."

"Xiao Tao, put this gift in my room. Bi Yun, come with me to the palace for the banquet."

"Yes."

Xi Lingxue dressed formally and rode in a carriage, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

Biyun hurriedly helped her down. Looking at the palace, she felt as if it were a lifetime ago. It had been six years since she left the palace, and she had a lot of feelings during these six years.

There were many carriages parked at the palace gate, all of which were ministers bringing their female family members to attend the banquet.

The ministers looked at Lu Chen and Xue Lin, and came over with their wives to greet them, hoping that their daughters would be favored by them and the eldest prince.

After the crown prince was deposed, the ministers set their sights on the eldest prince. My daughter is now the eldest prince's concubine, and when the eldest prince ascends the throne, she will be the imperial consort, which will also be a great event that will bring honor to the family.

"Greetings to the Prince, greetings to the young Marquis."

"No need to be polite, my lords."

"Is this the prince's adopted sister?"

"Our adopted sister Ye Ling'er."

"Hello, Miss Ye. My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. My name is Yang Lin."

"Hello."

"Miss Ye, my father is the Minister of Personnel, and my name is Lin Hanyi."

"Hello."

"We will also invite Miss Ye to attend our banquets in the future."

Xi Lingxue was disgusted by their fake faces and rejected them without any hesitation.

"I'm sorry, I don't really like this kind of scene."

Their faces turned ugly in an instant, then they immediately smiled again, cursing Xi Lingxue a thousand times in their hearts.

"My Lords, let's go in first."

"Prince Lu, please..."

As soon as Xi Lingxue and the others left, the expressions of several young ladies changed instantly.

"What? I'm flattering you by inviting you to our banquet. You're so shameless."

"Miss Lin is absolutely right. She has relied on her good relationship with the eldest prince and others to raise her head high. She really thinks she is a phoenix. But she is just a wild chicken that no one wants."

"Yes! People who don't know her would think she is a princess or the eldest daughter of some mansion."
