The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li frowned and said, "What does it have to do with you whether I attend the husband-selection banquet or not? By what right do you ask me this?"

Princess Anping took a step back upon hearing Nangong Li's question, her face contorted with pain, and said, "Brother Li, breaking off the engagement was not my wish. Now that I am free, we can be together again!"

Qingyang scoffed, "Princess, please have some self-respect. When the Prince returned after being poisoned, the two families agreed to break off the engagement. Besides, you had already chosen your husband and married him. Now that you're unhappy and divorced, you've come to find your master. What makes you think your master would marry a divorced woman?"

"Exactly! Let alone the fact that the master is the legitimate son of the empress, even a prince born out of wedlock wouldn't be interested in a divorced woman, right? People should know their place; not every horse that turns back will find grass to eat!"

Hearing Qingyang and An Yi's sarcastic remarks, Princess Anping angrily said, "Shut up! All of you shut up! How dare you servants interrupt when I'm talking to Brother Li? Besides, Brother Li hasn't even said a word, yet you're being so rude to me. You should be dragged away and beaten to death!"

Princess Anping arrogantly assumed that Nangong Li still had feelings for her because he hadn't spoken but had only asked her what status she had to question him. The slight joy that had just risen in her heart was completely wiped out by Qingyang and An Yi's ridicule!

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Nangong Li and said, "Brother Li, say something! The servants in your manor have started bullying me."

Nangong Li's tone was icy: "What Qingyang and An Yi just said is exactly what I wanted to say! Also, Qingyang is the steward of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and he has a status and a military rank."

"An Yi is my guard. I've never treated them like servants. Who do you think you are? Coming to my residence and bossing my people around? You brought this on yourself. And don't call me 'Brother Li,' it disgusts me."

Princess Anping, unable to bear hearing Nangong Li's harsh words any longer, covered her face and ran towards the gate of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.

"Qingyang, instruct the guards at the gate that they are not to let this woman in again. If she tries to force her way in, beat her out with sticks. If this gets back to the ears of the future princess, I will make sure you all suffer the consequences."

Qingyang replied excitedly, "Understood, I will go and give the order right away."

An Yi pushed Nangong Li towards the door. Just as they were about to get into the carriage, Qing Yang came over and helped Nangong Li into the carriage.

Turning to An Yi, he said, "Stay put inside the manor and don't let anyone who shouldn't be here enter. The master said that if this gets to the ears of the future princess, he will skin you alive."

An Yi gritted her teeth and said, "Why? It's you accompanying your master to the palace again? I didn't even attend the Mo family's birthday banquet last time, which was so wonderful, and now I can't go to the young lady's husband selection banquet again?"

Qingyang chuckled: "Because on the surface you are Mu Yi, the bodyguard of your cousin Mu Yun, while I am the steward of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion! Tell me, when the Pingnan Prince enters the palace, will he bring the steward of the Prince's Mansion or his cousin's bodyguard?"

Upon hearing Qingyang's words, An Yi deflated like a punctured balloon. She said to Qingyang, "There's something I'm unsure whether I should say."

Qingyang: "Since you yourself don't know whether you should say it or not, then don't say it!" After saying that, he got into the carriage and drove away before An Yi could say anything more!

An Yi cursed inwardly: "Qingyang, you son of a bitch! You turned around and started cursing Twenty, you stinking Twenty! And you even taught me to be subtle when I'm cursing! Subtle my foot! You don't follow the script at all, and you don't even ask what I want to say! I should have just said it directly. Look at your smug look, you're more despicable than a dog!"

Qingyang drove the carriage towards the palace, but sneezed halfway there. He thought to himself, "It must be An Yi. That scoundrel couldn't get to the palace, so he's cursing me behind my back."

When I get back, I will definitely tell him everything that happened at the banquet. I believe today's banquet must have been very exciting, and he will regret not being there for the rest of his life.

Nangong Li arrived at the palace gate, did not stop, and drove directly into the palace, first going to the Empress's palace to pay his respects.

When Nangong Li arrived, the palace banquet was still an hour early. As soon as Nangong Li entered, he saw the Empress sitting on the high hall, smiling and chatting happily!

When the Empress saw Nangong Li enter, she smiled and said, "The palace banquet is still a while away today. Why did you come so early? Are you trying to trick me out of something good again?"

"Mother, let them all leave. Your son has something to say to you. There is another matter I need your help with today," Nangong Li said directly to the Empress.

The Empress waved her hand, and all the palace servants left, leaving only the Empress's personal nanny and Qingyang, who was by Nangong Li's side.

The Empress smiled and said, "Today's palace banquet is to celebrate General Mo's victorious return. In addition, I heard that the Emperor has agreed to Miss Mo's annulment of her engagement with Prince Qing and changed it to a marriage exchange. He also said that he will choose another husband from among the princes!"

"You don't want to marry Mo Liuyun, do you? Are you trying to ask Mother for help?" Without waiting for Nangong Li's reply, he continued, "But I think with your fearsome reputation, Miss Mo wouldn't be so audacious as to choose you, would she?"

Nangong Li rarely went to the palace. One reason was that he didn't want his mother to be upset by seeing him like this, and the other reason was that his mother was a real chatterbox who kept talking non-stop. Who could stand that?

He had barely uttered a single sentence when his mother launched into a long tirade. So, he shook his head helplessly, stood up from his wheelchair, and walked straight to the Empress.

Under the shocked gazes of the Empress and the nanny, he smiled and said, "On the contrary, I would like to ask Mother to intervene on my behalf and let Mo Liuyun choose me!"

At this moment, Mu Yuyan could only see Nangong Li standing up and walking towards her; she couldn't hear anything else. Seeing Nangong Li walk up to her, Mu Yuyan stood up excitedly and grabbed his hand: "You brat, is your poison gone? You can stand up again, right? Is your mother dreaming?"

Nangong Li looked at his excited mother and asked, "Mother, did you hear what your son said?"

Mu Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then turned to the old woman beside her and asked, "Old woman, what did that brat just say? Did you hear it?"

Granny Liu, who had watched Prince Pingnan grow up since childhood and was also his wet nurse, stepped forward and grasped the Empress's hand, excitedly saying, "This servant heard you, Your Majesty! His Highness Prince Pingnan says he wishes to marry Miss Mo, and he begs your help in persuading him!"

Only then did Mu Yuyan hear what the old woman was saying: Nangong Li's request was actually to marry Miss Mo.

So she said, "Mother, I've heard that this Miss Mo has a birthmark on her face, is ugly, and uneducated. Even Prince Qing dislikes her! How could you possibly be interested in such a woman? Does she possess some unknown extraordinary talent?"
