MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 12 12. Imperial Uncle

Unless the Feng family had something that threatened to get the Ninth Prince or Duke Wei, they would have framed them like this!

Thinking of this, Feng Jinyao's eyes were filled with chills. This thing must be found first, so that he can have the opportunity to set a trap for the Wen family.

Just as Feng Jinyao was thinking about it, she was suddenly shaken awake by a strong force and finally realized what she was doing.

 “Ayao, what’s wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?”

“Nothing, I guess I didn’t sleep last night. Does my cousin want to go to Qinxiangyuan first?”

“Well, some of the sisters from Zheng Guogong’s family are also here. Let’s take them there to play for a while.”

Feng Jinyao nodded, then left the maid to guide Wei Lanxuan and his party, and then took the rest of the ladies to Qinxiang Courtyard.

 There is a waterside pavilion connected between Shoukangyuan and Qinxiangyuan.

If summer comes, it will be very cool and refreshing here, but unfortunately it is very freezing in winter.

 A group of people arrived at the waterside pavilion, chatting and laughing without paying much attention.

Instead, Feng Jinyao inadvertently raised her eyes towards the waterside pavilion and unexpectedly saw the emperor's uncle Xiao Tingyi.

 From a distance of more than ten steps, you can feel his aura that cannot be ignored.

The youngest son of the late emperor and the seventeenth younger brother of His Majesty is a young and talented man with a dragon and a phoenix appearance.

 “Ayao, what are you looking at?”

Bai Siruo and Xu Mingyue walked a few steps quickly, but when they saw that Feng Jinyao on the side did not follow, he looked back curiously and found that she was frozen.

From Bai Siruo's point of view, there was a rockery across the road, so she never saw the emperor's uncle Xiao Tingyi.

 Took a few steps forward and saw someone, and the smile that was still hanging on his lips suddenly stiffened.

The moment the two looked at each other, Bai Siruo was a little more stunned.

I really don’t know how I met this imperial uncle here, but I couldn’t turn around and leave immediately, so I had to bite the bullet and step forward to salute.

 “Wish you all the best, uncle.”

Xiao Tingyi nodded slightly, which was regarded as an answer.

It was cold in winter, and he was already afraid of the cold, so the black cloak firmly blocked the wind and snow. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were unexpectedly calm, like a pool of spring water, which looked crystal clear on the surface, but was actually lifeless. No joy, no emotion to be found.

For some reason, Feng Jinyao felt a sense of danger that someone would know her secret, so she lowered her head with a guilty conscience and followed Bai Siruo and called her "Prince."

“Excuse me for disturbing my uncle, I want to take some of the sisters-in-law and sisters from Zheng Guogong’s family to the front, so I won’t delay my uncle from enjoying the scenery here.”

After saying this, he immediately saluted and pulled Feng Jinyao away in a hurry.

As he walked, he lowered his voice and said to her, "My good sister, you are so brave, you even dare to stare at him. Do you know how miserable the last person who stared at him ended up?"

On a very cold day, there was a thin layer of sweat on Bai Siruo's head. Xu Mingyue, who was walking quickly next to her, didn't look good either, but she didn't feel as if she was facing a powerful enemy like Bai Siruo, so she was quite normal.

Feng Jinyao frowned. She had very little impression of this mysterious and unpredictable Prince Ding in her previous life.

“Is he Prince Ding? I’ve never seen him before.”

Bai Siruo looked like you are really brave, which made Feng Jinyao amused.

"He is not a ferocious beast. Why are you so scared when you see him?"

"What do you know? The seventeenth emperor's uncle was the late emperor's favorite prince in the early years. If His Majesty were not much older than him today, and his wings were not yet full when the late emperor passed away, I am afraid that the person sitting on the throne now would not be full. Do you know who it is?"

 After saying this, he looked around cautiously. These are royal secrets and should not be told to outsiders.

However, when Bai Siruo saw her confused look, he was afraid that if she accidentally offended this great god, the future life would be difficult, so he gave a warning. He lowered his voice again and spoke to her quietly.

"The situation in the DPRK is complicated and chaotic. Your Majesty's favorite Ninth Prince and the Queen's eldest prince have been fighting against each other for many years. I heard that both sides had offered an olive branch to the Seventeenth Emperor's uncle for the bargaining chip in his hand to secure the king's army in the southwest. . It’s a pity that after all these years, I have never heard of anyone who he values ​​​​especially. So, the depth of his thoughts is not something you and I can deduce, you know?"

Feng Jinyao nodded solemnly, "Thank you, cousin, for reminding me. I understand. I will just take a detour when I see him in the future."

Feng Jinyao does not intend to provoke such a person, and it is not something she can afford to provoke.

So he took back his thoughts, collected his emotions, and followed Bai Siruo to the banquet place.

The waterside pavilion is clean and no one is disturbing it within a radius of thirty steps.

 The charcoal fire burned so brightly that it even warmed the surrounding area.

Follower Yang Zhao stood quietly behind Xiao Tingyi without saying a word. On the contrary, Xiao Tingyi, who was sitting there, was more curious.

 Ahem, two more sounds.

His cough was left on the battlefield ten years ago. If he hadn't been hung up with those precious medicinal materials, he would have met the great king of **** long ago.

In winter, the cough is a bit more serious than usual. If anyone sees the faint blood stains on the veil, they will probably sigh in their hearts, jealous of the talent, wasting such good skin and good character.

Xiao Tingyi had no intention of coming to join in the fun today, but Mr. Xu Ge and Prime Minister Bai repeatedly invited him. Thinking that he had not shown his face in front of others for more than a year, he had no choice but to agree to come.

However, I still didn't have the energy to deal with those young men in the front yard, so I took my entourage and hid in this waterside pavilion.

　　Unexpectedly, I would bump into her unexpectedly!

 Did he see it wrong?

I heard that the granddaughter of the foreign minister of the Bai family has not yet had hairpins. How could a yellow-haired girl have such a terrifying aura?

Although she looked like a noble daughter-in-law, he did not miss the looming violence in her body.

He was also someone who had fought on the battlefield with swords, guns, swords and halberds. He was the most sensitive to these horrors. Even though she still looked respectful and gentle on her face, she could not hide it from Xiao Tingyi.

 Eastern Capital City is really well hidden.

There was a trace of blood on the pale face, and there was a slight smile on the corner of the mouth, as if there was something interesting to watch again.

In Qinxiang Courtyard, when Bai Siruo arrived with a group of female relatives, they were already ready.

"Sisters-in-law, today is my grandmother's birthday. My eldest aunt at home has specially found some clever gadgets as a thank you gift. However, this gift cannot be taken away by you casually. You must guess the lantern riddles correctly. get."

After saying that, he asked the girl behind him to get four-color bracelets, which were white, red, yellow, and purple.

Everyone looked at it strangely. The lantern riddles were not strange, but what did the four-color bracelets mean?

"Sister Siruo, what is this bracelet used for?" Someone who was curious had already asked, and others also looked at Bai Siruo.

She doesn’t have stage fright, and she explains things clearly and generously.

"Just guessing lantern riddles seems a bit boring. Anyway, there is still some time before the banquet. Why don't you come and have some fun? You can form a team with your friends and family members and choose four groups to compete to see which sister wears the same color bracelet. If you can come out on top, not only can you get this small gift, but there are also powerful people behind you."

After saying that, he motioned to the girl, who immediately brought up a brocade box.

Hahahaha, after so many calls, the male protagonist finally appeared...
