Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Upon hearing this, Dong Lianchu leaned over to Jiang Lige and quietly introduced her, "She is Wang Ya, the eldest daughter of the third branch of the Wang family, and the niece of Princess Zhao. I heard that before the emperor granted the marriage, Princess Zhao intended to marry the Crown Prince of Zhao."

"Oh!"

Jiang Lige responded and looked up at Wang Ya. She was not bad looking, but she looked quite mean.

After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but complain:

"Is she worthy?"

With this appearance and personality, how could she be worthy of Ning Yunxiao?

Although Wang Ya didn't know what the two of them said, Jiang Lige's following words, which were obviously full of contempt, made Wang Ya immediately unhappy.

"What are you two sisters talking about? Why are you ignoring me?"

Jiang Lige blinked, looked around, and then asked doubtfully, "Is this lady talking to us?"

Wang Ya rolled her eyes. "Could it be that there's another Princess Zhaohua here?"

Jiang Lige said "Oh" as if he suddenly understood, and asked back with a smile.

"Here, the one who can call me sister is the Second Princess of the Nanchu Imperial Family, and the one who can call me sister is the Anning County Lady. How can you, a sister from the Yihong Courtyard, call me sister?"

This statement is almost like saying "unworthy".

Wang Ya was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she couldn't refute the first half of the sentence, so she could only speak angrily.

"What nonsense! How could I, a pure and innocent lady from a noble family, have anything to do with such a filthy place? Do you think a princess can insult someone's innocence with nothing to show for it?!"

"Didn't you call Yihongyuan sister?"

Jiang Lige pretended to be ignorant and pointed at the ladies watching the show nearby, "Look, they all heard it."

Dong Lianchu tried hard not to laugh, "Princess Zhaohua misunderstood. The Yihong Courtyard Miss Wang mentioned is a famous brothel in the capital."

"Oh!" Jiang Lige nodded again and continued calmly, "The Queen Mother has always taught me to be respectful, righteous, honest and modest. Since that's the case, I can't stand hearing Miss Wang call me sister."

Wang Ya blushed with embarrassment. "Hmph! Don't get so cocky. Let's see what happens!"

After saying that, he stomped his feet and avoided everyone's sight.

"You." Dong Lianchu patted Jiang Lige in annoyance. "Why bother with this momentary pleasure? Wang Ya is not someone who can be easily dismissed."

Jiang Lige spread his hands indifferently, "She's thinking about someone she shouldn't be thinking about. Even if I talk to her nicely, she just thinks I'm soft-tempered and easy to control."

"That's true."

Dong Lianchu nodded and came over to whisper a joke.

"Prince Zhao is so handsome. Even if things are chaotic in Prince Zhao's palace, there are still countless girls who are attracted to him. You have so many rivals in love!"

Jiang Lige curled her lips and raised her head and replied, "This princess is not bad either!"

"Pfft-"

Following the sound of laughter, Jiang Lige saw Xiao Xingrong at a glance.

He looked heroic in his military uniform, with handsome features, just like the long black iron tassel he always treasured, which was sharp and daring.

Xiao Xingrong, Empress Xiao's younger brother.

Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Xiao had always been at odds with each other, and the people around them also acted in their own camps.

When Jiang Lige first entered the palace, Xiao Xingrong often caused trouble for Jiang Lige.

Jiang Lige was a reckless person at that time, and he beat up the young prince-in-law. From then on, the two of them became friends inexplicably.

Jiang Lige was still very grateful to Xiao Xingrong.

In her previous life, when she was being condemned by thousands of people, he was the only one who believed in her as always. During the final war between the two countries, it was he who secretly arranged for her to be sent out of the city, allowing her to see her father, the emperor, and her mother for the last time.

Jiang Lige made no effort to hide his surprise, "Shouldn't you be in the Southwest Camp? Why are you back?"

"Once the mission is completed, I will come back naturally."

As he spoke, Xiao Xingrong proudly flashed the token on his waist, "See? Imperial Guards! From now on, I'll be working in the Imperial City."

Jiang Lige gave a thumbs-up politely, "I've already boasted enough, but everyone here is a woman. We'll talk about other things later."

"I just want to share my joy with you."

Having achieved his purpose of showing off, Xiao Xingrong curled his lips and made an excuse, then flicked his sleeves and walked away gracefully.

Having known each other for many years, Jiang Lige naturally knew what kind of personality Xiao Xingrong had, but others didn't know, for example...

Wang Ya hiding behind the pillar.

Wang Ya followed Xiao Xingrong with her eyes, a smile on her lips.

"It seems that our young uncle may be the variable in the marriage granted by His Majesty."

……

A palace banquet ended with the chattering of the noble ladies in the capital. Although Dong Lianchu was not a person who was good at socializing, she had known many young ladies and wives after being married for many years.

With her introduction, Jiang Lige got to know many women from prominent families in the capital.

After the banquet, the lights were already on. According to the custom of spring hunting, everyone had to stay in the royal villa tonight and return the next day.

Jiang Lige and a group of young ladies were on their way to their residence when they saw a person kneeling on the palace road. He looked somewhat familiar.

Spring nights are cold, and if you kneel for too long, you will inevitably suffer from sequelae.

When I looked closely, I realized it was Lvliu beside Jiang Chuchu.

Didn't Lvliu give it to Ning Yunxiao as compensation? Why is she here?

Jiang Lige was wondering when Feng Quan came over and whispered:

"Prince Zhao returned Lvliu to the Second Princess in front of the Empress today. The Empress has been feuding with the Second Princess lately. When she heard that Lvliu had offended Prince Zhao, she naturally used this as an excuse to severely punish her."

Ning Yunxiao chose to "return the maid" in front of the queen, naturally intending to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

He asked Lvliu to clean the stable for a few days, and after giving her a light punishment and a severe warning, he returned her to Jiang Chuchu. On the one hand, this showed that he was very particular about every penny, but on the other hand, he also knew how to keep his distance and showed his mercy only when it was just right.

He returned the person to Jiang Chuchu, and "accidentally" let Empress Xiao see it. Empress Xiao wanted to use this opportunity to slap Jiang Chuchu in the face and vent her anger. Whether Lvliu was dead or alive, no one outside could blame him.

The blame that Jiang Lige had put on Ning Yunxiao was easily passed on to Empress Xiao.

With such a mind, it is no wonder that in his previous life, this person became a figure that everyone in Sheng Ling would turn pale at the mention of.

While being amazed, Jiang Lige couldn't help but sigh that it was harder than climbing to the sky to gain the trust of a man as deep-minded as Ning Yunxiao.

I owe Ning Yunxiao a favor today, so it would be a good opportunity to take this opportunity to show off a little!

Thinking about this, how could Jiang Lige sit still?

He hurriedly said goodbye to the ladies from the noble families and ran back to think about his plans.

The night was dark and just as the third watch drum had sounded, Ning Yunxiao heard a strange noise coming from outside the courtyard.

A late night visit is definitely not a good thing.

Ning Yunxiao made a subconscious judgment, grabbed the dagger skillfully, and flew out through the door.

The sudden movement startled the woman on the wall, who lost her grip and fell down with a thud.

Treat Ning Yunxiao as a meat cushion.
