Tragic death and rebirth, I remarried the scumbag uncle on the spot

Yesterday, the palace sent an invitation to Prince Chen's Mansion. It was the fourteenth birthday banquet of the current Empress Dowager, Princess Yongning Xie Zhiyi. The Empress Dowager specially invited the female relatives in the capital to attend the banquet.

Furong said with a worried look on her face, "Princess, why don't we just not go."

"Go, why not go."

When she was a girl in the Yu Mansion, she was instigated by Shen Yunmiao to dress up extremely gorgeously at a flower-viewing banquet and stole the limelight from Princess Yongning. She was hated ever since then. Later, after His Majesty arranged for her to marry Xie Yunqi, Xie Zhiyi would mock her every time he saw her.

She implied that she was the daughter of a warrior and had no qualifications to be the Princess of Prince Ping.

"But every time you meet Princess Yongning, she always makes you feel wronged. It's better not to go. Even if you don't go to the capital now, no one will dare to say a word about you."

Fuqiu also stood up for Yu Guiwan. In the past, every time the girl came back from a banquet, she would be sad for several days.

Yu Guiwan smiled and said, "Silly girl, even if I don't go, who knows what they'll be saying about me behind my back. Besides, I can't just keep a low profile for the rest of my life."

"I don't care what they say anymore."

In the past, every time she came back sad, she always felt inferior and unworthy of Xie Yunqi. Later, she never picked up a sword again, and specially asked her mother to find a female teacher to teach her music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Yang Nian was extremely happy when she heard this. She felt that having two people in her family who were wielding swords and guns and going to the battlefield had already made her nervous. She had long ago advised Yu Guiwan to stop wielding swords and guns.

Yang Nian didn't have any big wishes, he just wanted his daughter to live a safe and smooth life.

Looking back now, I was so stupid back then.

Yu Guiwan laughed at himself.

"Now that you are a princess, your status is different. You must dress more elegantly." Fuqiu picked out several sets of brightly colored clothes.

"I think the moon-white one is nice." Yu Guiwan pointed to the dress on the edge.

After saying that, she immediately changed into the dress: an autumn-blue pleated skirt with a moon-white gown, the collar and cuffs of which were embroidered with orchid patterns.

She wore a double butterfly-style jinbu in the same color around her waist, two pearl hairpins on her head, and an orchid-style buyao on her left.

"The princess must be the most beautiful woman today!" Fuqiu praised her immediately, then frowned, "It's just that she looks a little too plain, a little lacking in elegance."

Furong glared at her and signaled her to be careful with her words.

Yu Guiwan watched the two people's little movements and couldn't help but laugh, "Having the title of Princess Chen is not impressive enough."

After packing up, Yu Guiwan asked Fuqiu to take the gifts and got on the carriage.

When Yu Guiwan arrived, there were already many carriages parked at the gate of the palace, but Bei Chu's carriage still did not stop. Now, thanks to Xie Sui, she was able to enter the palace by carriage.

"Princess, before we leave, the prince has asked me to tell you that if you encounter any problems in the palace, you can act like Princess Chen and no one will dare to say anything to you."

Before getting off the carriage, Bei Chu relayed Xie Sui's words to Yu Guiwan word for word.

The chrysanthemums in the imperial garden were in full bloom now, so the queen specially held a banquet in the imperial garden for the female relatives who came to enjoy it. She also placed exquisite cakes and the best tea on the side.

Xie Zhiyi was wearing gorgeous clothes today, and the hairpin on her head was a set specially made by the Queen. Even the pair of shoes on her feet had a round pearl inlaid on the toe and a string of tassels hanging below.

At this moment, a group of people were surrounding Xie Zhiyi, praising her highly.

The women who came today were either rich or noble. Shen Yunmiao was originally not qualified to come, but she had a good relationship with Xie Zhiyi, so she also sent her an invitation.

Shen Yunmiao took out the scroll and handed it to her. "Zhiyi, don't you like Master Liu Yuan's bamboo and rock paintings the most? I specially asked people to search for it for a long time before finding it."

Xie Zhiyi couldn't wait to open the scroll and exclaimed repeatedly, "This painting of bamboo and rocks is indeed worthy of being by Master Liu Yuan! It captures the bamboo's unyielding spirit!"

“I never thought I’d have the good fortune to see this painting of bamboo and rocks!”

"It is really thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess that we are able to see her."

When others saw that Xie Zhiyi liked it, they also followed suit and praised it.

Xie Zhiyi put the scroll away and said with satisfaction, "You still understand me the best. Fortunately, you are my sister-in-law, not someone like Yu Guiwan."

Shen Yunmiao pretended to be flustered, "I am just a concubine, I dare not be called the princess's sister-in-law."

Xie Zhiyi's words were full of hidden meanings, and he warned the people present, "If I say you are my sister-in-law, then you are my sister-in-law. I don't know who here dares to look down on you."

With the support of Princess Yongning, everyone present became much more polite to Shen Yunmiao.

"Princess Chen is here!"

The scene was originally full of laughter and chatter, but everyone fell silent after hearing the name.

Everyone knows that the person Princess Yongning hates the most is Yu Guiwan, but now Yu Guiwan's status is different after all, so she thought she would not be invited today.

"Meet Princess Chen."

Even if some people looked down on Yu Guiwan, her status was the highest at the moment, so everyone had to salute her, even Shen Yunmiao did the saluting.

Only Xie Zhiyi was still sitting motionless in his seat, with no intention of getting up.

She even challenged Yu Guiwan, "Today is my birthday, so I am the most important. I'm sure Princess Chen won't mind."

Seeing Princess Yongning's behavior, the others didn't even dare to breathe.

Yu Guiwan smiled faintly, "Today is naturally the birthday star's biggest honor."

Xie Zhiyi smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. Even if Yu Guiwan became the Princess of Chen now, she was still at her mercy.

"I wonder what kind of gifts Princess Chen brought today? This princess doesn't like those vulgar things." Xie Zhiyi deliberately made things difficult for Yu Guiwan. No matter what, she ordered people to accept the gifts sent by others.

Yu Guiwan ordered, "Fuqiu, take out the gift for the princess."

The maid beside Xie Zhiyi stepped forward to take the scroll, and then opened it and displayed it in front of everyone.

When everyone saw the painting on the scroll, their faces were shocked and then turned into looks of disgust.

I saw that the painting on the scroll was exactly the same as Shen Yunmiao's painting of bamboo and rocks!

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen is not short of that little money, so why did the Princess Chen bring a fake one?"

"It's really embarrassing."

"Could it be that she is not favored by the King of Chen?"

Xie Zhiyi's eyes revealed clear disdain. "Yu Guiwan, you actually gave this princess a fake painting! Are you looking down on me?"

Xie Zhiyi didn't give Yu Guiwan any face at all, and was full of sarcasm, "Just now, this princess received a painting of bamboo and rocks, and you sent me another one. You are still trying to pass it off as genuine! How ridiculous!"
