Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

At the night banquet in the palace, the sounds of stringed instruments were elegant, graceful girls danced gracefully, and fine wine and delicious food were served, creating a beautiful and festive scene.

It was He Er's first time to attend a banquet of this scale. He drank too much without realizing it. When he sobered up and walked into the woods, he saw a graceful girl sitting alone by the lake and playing in the water.

In the moonlight, a pair of jade feet shone brightly, and the silver bell-like laughter made He Er have some romantic thoughts for no reason.

"Even a random maid in this palace is a most stunning beauty."

He Er took two more steps forward, intending to get a closer look at the woman's true face, but he tripped over something after taking only two steps, slipped, and fell unconscious.

Behind the rockery, Jiang Lige threw the hemp rope that was used to trip people to the ground and walked forward excitedly.

"fainted?"

Feng Quan couldn't bear to look at He Er, who had fallen and was bleeding from his nose, and nodded.

"fainted."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Lige nodded happily, took out some silver from his purse and threw it to the person playing in the water, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch."

After receiving the greeting, the "girl" who had just been playing in the water turned around. Although she was dressed as a girl, her heroic posture, the big mole at the corner of her mouth, and He Er's comment of "the most beautiful woman in the world"...

It's really inconsistent.

Just one glance and Fengquan almost died of laughter.

Only Jiang Lige would be so mean as to ask a young eunuch to dress up as a young girl.

The young eunuch also looked disheartened. Seeing that Jiang Lige did not give any other instructions, he quickly ran away.

"Kick him awake."

Jiang Lige, dressed as a palace maid, instructed Feng Quan, "Then quickly hide and don't reveal your traces."

Thinking of how the He family had tortured Rong Hui, Feng Quan didn't hold back when he kicked her. He found a place that was painful enough but not too painful. With one kick, He Er screamed in pain and sat up.

The kick was so painful that He Er sobered up a little.

When he sat up straight, he saw a woman dressed as a palace maid sitting next to him, crying bitterly. When she saw him wake up, her tears stopped a little and she called out to him timidly.

"Gong... son..."

Under the moonlight, Jiang Lige was dressed in a light green palace dress. Her beautiful eyes made even the most beautiful women in the forest feel shy. There were still traces of tears on her face. Just one glance from her was enough to make He Er lose his mind.

"Did the young lady save me just now?"

He Er didn't care about his embarrassment and reached out to grab Jiang Lige's hand.

"If this servant hadn't been here...you wouldn't have fallen and gotten hurt."

Jiang Lige dodged without leaving a trace, her face becoming even more timid, "Since the young master is fine, it's time for me to leave."

I looked so pitiful that He Er felt itchy.

"Where are you going, young lady? Since I have seen your body, I must give you an explanation."

Jiang Lige suppressed the urge to beat up He Er and said shyly.

"My lord, you are extremely brave. If you can take me out of the palace and make me your slave or concubine, it will be a blessing for me."

"The legitimate daughter of Empress Dowager Jiang is my sister-in-law. She just wants someone. What's the problem?"

Jiang Lige sighed in embarrassment, very considerate.

"You may not know, my lord, that Princess Rong Hui has never been easy to talk to. Although I want to accompany you, I don't want you to offend the princess because of me."

Under the influence of alcohol and with Jiang Lige's deliberate guidance, He Er was completely focused on showing off in front of the beauty. He was so frivolous that he almost lost himself in his thoughts and spoke without any taboos.

"Hmph, she dares? Don't worry, my beauty. I have the upper hand over her, so she won't dare to contradict me."

Jiang Lige was full of admiration. "Young Master, are you so powerful? But... ordinary evidence won't be enough to control her."

"Oh, what's the most important thing for a woman? Innocence! That day, my mother got her drunk and sent her to my room. All my aunts and uncles saw it. If she doesn't obey me, I'll spread the news and see how she behaves!"

"She entered the young master's room?"

Jiang Lige turned his head and pretended to be angry, "Then doesn't that mean you have to be responsible for her too!"

"Don't be upset, my beauty. How can she, a slut, be worthy of me? Nothing happened that night. It was just an excuse. Otherwise, how could she honestly hand over the eldest wife's property? How could she put down her princess airs and obey our orders?"

"I see."

He Er was speaking smugly, but he didn't notice the hatred that flashed across Jiang Lige's eyes.

In the pavilion, the girl's profile was as gentle as the moonlight, which made He Er feel itchy. While Jiang Lige was lost in thought, he actually grabbed Jiang Lige's hand.

Jiang Lige came to her senses with a start when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. Just as she was about to break free from He Er's restraint, she saw that the lecherous He Er was actually pretending to hug her!

Just as Jiang Lige was about to resist, a stone hit He Er's hand that was holding Jiang Lige accurately.

He Er cried out in pain and quickly let go of his hand to cover the wound.

Before he could even cry out in pain, a man in a moon-white brocade robe came flying in the moonlight, kicked He Er on the shoulder, and chopped him down with his bare hands. The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

The night wind lifted the strands of hair from his forehead, revealing the fierceness surging in his eyes, like a glacier with a hidden whirlpool that could easily draw anyone caught in it...

Shattered to pieces.

It's Ning Yunxiao...

Jiang Lige raised his hand guiltily to cover his pounding heart. It was over, He Er was finished.

She is finished too.

Obviously, He Er didn't know what kind of dangerous situation he was facing. His eyes were red with pain and he cursed with his neck stiff.

"Who are you, you bastard? How dare you hit me! I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

"Ah."

A disdainful chuckle sounded. Ning Yunxiao's voice was not as calm as usual, but as cold as ice, which made Jiang Lige shiver.

"It's just a matter of life and death."

After saying this, he drew his sword from its sheath, and the shining blade was extremely cold under the moonlight.

He Er was a guy who looked tough on the outside but was weak on the inside. When he saw the sword was unsheathed, he was so scared that his legs went limp and he begged for mercy.

"Heroes, spare their lives, heroes, spare their lives!"

Ning Yunxiao didn't even blink, "You deliberately insulted Princess Zhaohua in the imperial court. Even ten lives wouldn't be enough to compensate for this."

He Er then realized Jiang Lige's true identity. Before he had time to think about the reason, Ning Yunxiao's sword was already pointing at his nose.

It can be seen that Ning Yunxiao really had the intention to kill.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige hurriedly stood in front of He Er.

"Prince, he can't die yet!"

He Er also nodded quickly, "Yes! Can't die!"

"Oh? You mean, he shouldn't have died?"

Ning Yunxiao didn't even look at He Er. His pair of dark eyes fell quietly on Jiang Lige. His expression was unclear, which made Jiang Lige's heart skip a beat.

"I did not mean that."

Jiang Lige had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain, "He Er deserved to die, but you shouldn't have stained your hands. Moreover, this is the inner court of the Imperial Palace. If the Crown Prince took action today, he would be impeached."

"Princess Zhaohua, there's no need to explain. I was meddling in your affairs."
