Where Is Bai Xianyu?

Miss Pang immediately fell silent.

That Seventh Princess was crazy about Young Marquis Xie. She had also heard many rumors.

When they heard that she was coming too, most of the noble ladies who received the invitation gave up on the idea.

No matter how prominent their families were, they could not stand up to the royal family.

Moreover, the Emperor had a total of five princesses, and the Seventh Princess was the one he liked the most.

Although they did not dare to have extravagant hopes, they still had to give the Eldest Princess face.

Li Changning sat at a long table. Many people had already written some prose or made some paintings on the table, all of them with “Plum Blossom” as the theme.

She sneered in her heart. Some plain commoners still wanted to use these tricks to attract her cousin’s attention.

Bai Yu’er followed the maidservant into the Plum Blossom Fragrance Courtyard. The path had many turns, and the pillars and beams were decorated beautifully. It was simply more imposing than the royal residence.

If she could marry into the family, she would gain prestige.

The ladies who were good friends were all laughing together. However, as she had never stayed in the capital before, she did not know many people.

When she saw a woman sitting at the table, as if she was alone, she immediately walked over with a smile.

“Hello.”

The woman frowned at her.

Bai Yu’er thought that she had found a companion. She smiled and said, “I’m Bai Yu’er from the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor. My uncle is Old General Bai. I have just arrived in the capital.”

Li Changning sized up her attire with displeasure in her eyes. “You have only arrived in the capital, and you’ve been here?”

Was Aunt senile?

She had even let in such a lousy relative from the General’s Manor.

When Bai Yu’er saw that her expression was not happy, her smile faded a little, but her heart became arrogant.

Look, another woman who was jealous of her.

But what was the use of being jealous of her? She had been invited. Others could not be more envious!

“That’s right. I’ve only been here for more than ten days, but the Eldest Princess has already sent someone to personally deliver the invitation. It seems like she’s very pleased with me.” Bai Yu’er did not notice that Li Changning’s expression was already very ugly. She continued to praise herself, “Sigh, actually, it might not be the Eldest Princess’s intention. I think it’s because Young Marquis Xie had seen me by chance before, and he couldn’t forget me, so he had asked the Eldest Princess to send the invitation.”

As she spoke, Bai Yu’er stood up and glanced sideways at Li Changning.

Hmph, I’ll make you jealous.

Unexpectedly, before she could stand up straight, a crisp slap made her head turn and she staggered into a plum blossom tree!

“How dare you! Where did this filthy thing come from? How dare you address yourself as ‘I’ in front of me, the princess?” Li Changning’s expression was ugly as she said sternly, “Someone, slap her for me!”

Bai Yu’er was stunned!

Princess!

She was actually a princess!

…

Xie Xingyun and Xiao Zheng walked to the patio and heard the noisy sounds of scolding from Plum Blossom Fragrance Courtyard.

Xiao Zheng grabbed a servant and asked, “What happened?”

The servant only heard the gist of it. “It’s said that the Bai family’s daughter offended the Seventh Princess. Now… she’s being slapped.”

“What?” Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. The aura on his body was terrifying.

“You are a thing that can’t even announce your father’s official position, and one that hopes to rely on your Uncle to get some face. Do you think you can be a marquis’s wife just because you received an invitation? Huh?” Li Changning’s tone was filled with mockery.

Bai Yu’er’s hair was disheveled from the beating. Both sides of her face and her lips were terrifyingly swollen. It was obvious that she did not show any mercy.

Li Changning did not pity her at all. “Continue to…”

“Stop it.”

Li Changning froze and turned around, revealing a feminine shyness. “Cousin.”

Xie Xingyun’s breathing was a little chaotic. He frowned and glanced at the person behind her. His anger disappeared and his entire body turned cold.

It wasn’t her.
