The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Li Lian is a contemporary literary master who enjoys a high reputation in the literary world. He has shown extraordinary literary talent since he was a child and has in-depth research and unique insights into poetry, songs, classics, history, and collections. In his early years, he traveled all over the country, made friends with countless literati, and broadened his horizons and gained knowledge.

As an important representative figure in the literary world of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Li Lian usually teaches at Kongyang Academy.

During this period, he was invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to the palace to temporarily teach Princess Yuanyi poetry.

When Princess Yuan Yi heard that the teacher was looking for her, she could not help but frown slightly, thinking to herself: "This is not the teacher's teaching time, and the teacher has never specially looked for me after class on weekdays."

However, she immediately remembered that her brother the Crown Prince had said before that this Mr. Li was a great scholar that her brother had personally invited to Kongyang Academy, and that he must be treated with special respect.

Just as Yuan Yi was hesitating, the eunuch beside him quickly replied: "The master did not specify what the matter was, but just asked me to go and look for the princess."

Yuan Yi's brows were still furrowed, and she was obviously still hesitant about whether to go and see Mr. Li.

Seeing Princess Yuanyi's hesitation, Yang Qi, who was standing beside her, said softly, "Mr. Li is a master of literature. If it weren't for something urgent, he wouldn't have summoned the princess in such a hurry. In my opinion, the princess should still focus on her studies. The beauty of Ningshou Garden is indeed pleasing to the eye, but it is not fleeting. It will be the same next time we go there to enjoy it."

Hearing Yang Qi say this, Yuan Yi nodded: "Okay, I'll go find the master first this time. Yang Qi, you go back to the palace first."

Nanny Zhu is Yang Qi's teaching nanny and the only nanny that Yang Qi brought into the palace this time. Having lived in the palace for many years, she is familiar with the location of the Queen's palace. Yang Qi is not worried about getting lost.

Watching Princess Yuanyi's hurriedly departing back, Yang Qi couldn't help but feel a little confused and worried. She was about to call Nanny Zhu back to the palace when she suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps.

At first glance, I saw a group of people walking towards the palace road in a mighty manner, which was quite spectacular.

When the palace maids on the palace road saw this group of people, they knelt down hurriedly to greet them in unison, obviously showing great respect for the newcomers.

Yang Qi's gaze fell on the front of the group, and saw a woman in gorgeous palace clothing, walking with her head held high, followed closely by four palace maids.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then whispered in Yang Qi's ear: "Miss, the person coming is Princess Yuanqi from Concubine Hua's palace." Yang Qi's heart tightened when she heard this, because she had naturally heard of Princess Yuanqi.

Princess Yuanqi, as the adopted daughter of Concubine Hua, has been pampered since childhood and has developed a domineering personality. This is no longer a secret in the palace, and even some people outside the palace know a little about it. Thinking of this, Yang Qi couldn't help but think of the little eunuch who took Princess Yuanyi away just now, and his doubts deepened.

Princess Yuan Yi had just left when Princess Yuan Qi from Concubine Hua's palace appeared. Was this just a coincidence? The more Yang Qi thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She subconsciously rubbed her right hand under her cloak.

In the current situation, if Yuan Qi did it on purpose, he would have nowhere to hide.

Now it seems that we can only take one step at a time.

When Yuan Qi approached with a group of palace maids, Yang Qi bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to Princess Yuan Qi."

The old lady of the Duke of Song's Mansion had been very strict with Yang Lan since she was young. Later, because Mr. Yang accepted Yang Qi as his apprentice, he never neglected the teaching of Yang Qi. In addition, Mrs. Xu was very attentive and Nanny Zhu was strict. Even though Yang Qi did not walk around the palace much, he could never make any mistakes in the palace etiquette.

Looking at Yang Qi who was bowing and greeting, Yuan Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sarcastic smile, and his eyes shot straight at Yang Qi like a cold arrow, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Which family are you from?" Yuan Qi's voice was cold and full of undisguised contempt. "How come you have entered the palace but haven't learned even the most basic etiquette?"

Yuan Qi's deliberate nitpicking made Yang Qi think things through. Now her status as a princess is far different from Yuan Qi's. Bumping into him directly would be like handing a whip to Yuan Qi. She could only be prudent and act with care.

"Your Highness, it is indeed me, a humble servant, who has entered the palace..." Yang Qi lowered her head and spoke softly. There was a hint of panic in her voice, but her expression could not be seen clearly.

However, Yuan Qi did not give Yang Qi too much opportunity to explain, and directly interrupted Yang Qi and continued: "It is ridiculous to be so careless and rough in greeting when meeting an honored person!"

Hearing Yuan Qi's blunt criticism, Nanny Zhu behind Yang Qi couldn't help but feel nervous and secretly said "not good".

Although she had not been in the palace for many years, she had heard about the discord between Concubine Hua and the Queen.

Moreover, during the days in the Queen's palace, Nanny Zhu had already found out the current situation in the palace from all aspects. She was also very clear that Princess Yuanqi and Princess Yuanyi had not gotten along since childhood, and the conflict between the two was long-standing.

This time, Miss Yang Qi came to the palace for a short stay. On the surface, she was there to accompany Princess Yuanyi, but in fact, it might cause dissatisfaction among the young masters in Concubine Hua's palace.

After all, the open and secret struggles between Concubine Hua and the Queen Mother have never stopped, and the young lady now lives in the Queen Mother's palace, so she will naturally be regarded as the Queen Mother's person.

In this case, Princess Yuanqi will definitely take advantage of the young lady being alone to attack the people in the Queen's palace.

"Your Highness, the palace is heavily guarded. I have been there only a few times and have limited experience. If there is anything wrong with my greetings, I hope you can forgive me." Yang Qi replied in a low voice, seemingly unaware of the deliberate nitpicking in Yuan Qi's words.

However, Yuan Qi did not intend to let Yang Qi off easily. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and said in an increasingly cold voice: "Today, this princess is in a good mood. Seeing you act like this, I will naturally give you some pointers."

After saying that, Yuan Qi waved his hand suddenly, and the palace maids beside him immediately understood what he meant and quickly stepped forward to surround Yang Qi.

Upon seeing this, Yang Qi immediately hid his thoughts and looked pale.

"Your Highness, I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me..." Before Yang Qi finished her words, Yuan Qi interrupted her impatiently, "Enough! I say you are wrong, and you are wrong! Come on, slap her in the face, and let this lady know what the rules of the palace are!"
