My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

Wei Nanxun knew she was good-looking, but the comments she received about her appearance from childhood were mostly negative.

Besides her parents, even her grandmother directly said that she was too alluring and did not have the appearance of a noble lady. After she married Pei Yuyan in her previous life, such comments became even more frequent.

She was called a seductive concubine, like Bao Si, and said she bewitched the crown prince. After hearing this so many times, she even began to think that perhaps being beautiful wasn't a good thing.

Having been reborn, she tried to let go of the matter. So what if she was alluring but not dignified? She would not marry Pei Yuyan again, nor did she intend to stay in the Wei family.

But she still cares about her appearance.

Sometimes I think that if I didn't have this face, I might not have had so many troubles.

Pei Yuyan wouldn't take a liking to her, she wouldn't be forced into the palace, and she could even go out on the street more freely and casually, without having to worry about whether there would be another Wen Zhuxi or someone like that.

It wasn't until the young man uttered a sincere sigh that she was suddenly taken aback.

This was the first time she had ever heard such straightforward praise without any hint of belittling.

So this is what it feels like to be complimented on your looks! It felt strange and novel, and also quite pleasant.

Before she could speak, Lingxi behind her said, "Your Highness, this is His Highness's guest. You must not be so rude."

Upon hearing this, the boy in the tree scratched his head, then leaped down from the tree with a whoosh, landing steadily in front of her.

"I'm sorry! I'm a straightforward person and I don't know how to keep my mouth shut. I really just think you're pretty. Back in the Northwest, people always told me that the girls in the capital are the prettiest, especially those raised by aristocratic families. They're the best in the entire Great Yan. But this time when I came to the capital, the girls I met weren't even as good as the girls in the Northwest. They all speak in roundabout ways and call themselves noble ladies. It's really hard to talk to them."

"It wasn't until I met you that I realized those people weren't lying to me; the girls in the capital are indeed stunning beauties."

The boy looked a little awkward, trying his best not to turn his feet inward, and he stood a little straighter, his hands still scratching the back of his head.

My mother had been talking about how to get along with girls before. If I had known that, I would have read more books!

It's gotten to the point where now even an apology is just a dry "I'm sorry."

Just as he was so embarrassed that his face was about to burn, the little girl in front of him smiled and shook her head, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes crinkling: "I'm not angry, and I know that the young master meant no harm, so there's no need to take it to heart."

Upon hearing Lingxi's address of "Crown Prince," Wei Nanxun knew that the person before him was the only son of the patriarch, the legendary Crown Prince of the Northwest.

The ways of fate in this world are truly wondrous. She had mistakenly believed that the person who saved her was the prince, and thought she would never have the chance to meet him in this lifetime. She never expected to meet him in this way.

She could sense that although this young man was a prince, he had none of the temperament or airs of a noble young man from the capital.

On the contrary, he has a friendly, approachable vibe, like a younger brother next door.

The boy was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. He grew up in the Northwest and had learned to ride and shoot at a young age, making him the fastest horseman in the Northwest.

His skin was naturally darker than that of the pampered young masters in the capital, and when he smiled, he naturally revealed his white teeth, making him look clean and cheerful.

“My name is Man Xinghe. You can call me Xinghe, but my mother calls me Aman.”

Wei Nanxun only knew the Crown Prince of the Northwest, but never knew his name, and had never had the chance to meet him in her previous life.

At first glance, his name sounds exotic, but upon closer inspection, it seems to suit him perfectly.

It is indeed as dazzling as a galaxy.

"My name is Wei Nanxun, and my family calls me A-Xun. It is an honor to meet the Crown Prince today."

He can be carefree and disregard etiquette, but she must always understand her place.

"Wei Nanxun? That sounds nice. I've met several people with the surname Wei. There was one named Wei Zhao, I think. I don't know if you've heard of him."

"Your Highness is referring to my elder sister."

It's no exaggeration to say that Man Xinghe's eyes widened instantly, and he looked her up and down again.

"You mean that's your sister? The two of you are way too different!"

“She is my cousin, and also the legitimate daughter of the family, so she is naturally different from me.”

"I knew it! She's not nearly as pretty as you, and your personalities are completely different too. You're much better."

From childhood, Wei Nanxun was always compared to Wei Mingzhao. Everyone told her to follow Wei Mingzhao and learn how to be a noble lady. She always felt that she was inferior to Wei Mingzhao.

Putting aside the grudges of her past life, Wei Mingzhao's talents are genuine. She is proficient in everything from poetry and songs to painting and needlework.

In comparison, her quiet and gentle nature and appearance were more in line with the requirements of the Duke's Mansion.

This was the first time she had ever heard someone say that she was good and Wei Mingzhao was bad.

Regardless of whether it was out of consideration for appearances, she was very grateful for Man Xinghe's words at this moment. As a member of the Wei family, she had not brought shame to the Duke's mansion. On the contrary, they had been suppressing her, making her feel that she was not worthy of being a member of the Wei family.

Lingxi listened as her young master became more and more inappropriate, and wondered how anyone could speak ill of a girl's sister in front of someone they had just met.

Fearing that Wei Nanxun would be embarrassed and unsure how to respond, she quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Your Highness, His Highness and the Empress Dowager are still waiting for Miss Wei. Please don't cause any more trouble."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, okay? Mother is so boring. You have such an interesting guest, but you don't even introduce me to her. If you want to go over, I'll go with you."

"Didn't you complain that the Empress's place was too stuffy?"

“Grandma’s life was so boring; all she did was drink tea and collect wild rice all day long. It was so dull. But things are different now…”

Wei Nanxun couldn't help but chuckle softly.

This prince is indeed the son of the ***, quite like her cheerful and easygoing manner.

When Man Xinghe heard her laughter, he wanted to come closer to her to find common ground, but Lingxi pushed him away.

He wasn't angry at all; instead, he cheerfully called out to Sister Lingxi, telling her not to complain to her mother.

This prompted Wei Nanxun to chuckle softly again.

Upon arriving at the main hall, they saw the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager playing chess. When the Empress Dowager saw Man Xinghe coming with her, she was somewhat surprised, but the Empress Dowager didn't even raise her eyelids and said directly, "You little brat, have you been bullying that young lady again?"

Manxinghe called out to his maternal grandmother and then squeezed onto the kang (heated brick bed) on the other side of the kang.

"Get out of here, get out of here. Don't you know your own size? It's too crowded."

"Mother, how did you get to know such a beautiful girl? She's like a fairy. You were hiding her away. If I hadn't met her, I would have had to tell them back in the Northwest that the capital is nothing special."

***Looking up at Wei Nanxun, she saw a tall figure appear outside the hall.

She deliberately raised her voice and said, "How about I marry such a beautiful girl for you?"

Man Xinghe's eyes lit up. He was almost at the age to get married anyway, and the girls in the Northwest were all very fierce and would chase after him.

He had no desire to marry those women, and upon hearing this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Before he could speak, a solemn voice said, "I don't think it's very good."
