Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter-Chapter 658: The Envoys of the Southern Barbarian Lands Moved out

“Pa!” The Sixth Princess, who had lost her mind, stumbled and fell on the steps because of her mother’s slap. A red mark appeared on her pale face. The imperial edict in her hand had already been thrown 10 meters away. The palace maid behind Imperial Noble Consort Wen rushed over fearfully, and picked up the edict respectfully. Then she knelt on the ground, lowering her head in fear.

“Do you want to die? Do you want us both to be ruined? Do you want your… to be ruined along with you?” Imperial Noble Consort Wen, who had always been calm and gentle, showed a ferocious expression on her face. She glared at the Sixth Princess with a livid face. Her eyes were round as if she was going to drown others in them.

“Mom…” The Sixth Princess looked at Imperial Noble Consort Wen with tearful eyes. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pleaded, “I… I don’t want to marry into such a barbaric place; I don’t want to marry the Third Prince. Mom…”

“You don’t want to marry into that kind of place, but is it useful to tear up the imperial edict? Even if you tear up the imperial edict, we will be punished together. Have you forgotten what I said for so many years?” Imperial Noble Consort Wen’s two eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and there was a strong sense of gloom in them.

Imperial Noble Consort Wen’s look made the Sixth Princess shudder. She had not seen her mother being so angry and gloomy for many years. When she was very young, she saw the Fifth Princess running wild in the palace. The Sixth Princess was also very envious and once, she imitated her to compete with her. Of course, in the end, the Sixth Princess was pushed into the lotus pond and then went to the Fifth Princess’s palace to apologize.

The Sixth Princess felt wronged and sad. When she came back, she burst into tears. Imperial Noble Consort Wen came to see her, immediately closed the door of the palace and stroke her hard in the face two times. The two slaps stunned the Sixth Princess, who wanted to ask Imperial Noble Consort Wen for comfort.

At that time, Imperial Noble Consort Wen wore a gloomy look on her face and told her to endure it! She had to endure it and not argue with anyone in the palace. No matter how she was angry and hateful, she had to endure it. She had to show a gentle smile in front of others so that no one could see what was on her mind.

At that time, the Sixth Princess cried stubbornly, “If I have to endure it all the time, I might as well die.” She was also a princess, but she was asked to live worse than a little palace maid. If she lived like this for the rest of her life, she would rather die than be a princess. So her mother told her a secret, a secret that would make her full of hope.

It was not that she could not be superior or be a noble girl, but she had to wait. If she continued to wait, one day, she would be superior, admired by all people, and would become the most distinguished woman in the palace. But the premise was that she had to endure it now and prevent others from finding out the secret.

Therefore, the Sixth Princess understood!

She had changed from an unruly little princess to a graceful and gentle princess. She was no longer as sharp as before. Other than when the young girl was first awakened of love and secretly fell in love with Bai Yihao, she had never confronted the Fifth Princess or anyone else. She had thought that as long as she could bear it, she would eventually stand at the peak of power.

However, she was desperate now. If she married into the Southern Barbarian Lands, no matter how glorious her mother and that person would be, it would have nothing to do with her. What was the point of so many years’ endurance? Her existence was a joke, a ridiculous shadow that existed for power.

Did her mother, who was elegant and gentle in front of others, never love her in her heart? Was she her tool? Just a tool?

Tears rolled down her cheeks, and the madness on her face was covered by sadness and despair. The Sixth Princess looked up and stared at Imperial Noble Consort Wen, letting her teardrops fall one by one. “Mom, what do you think I should do? What should I do to make Father change his mind? When he got married, you said, I should bear it, and that woman couldn’t occupy the position of Marquise Mingguo forever. When that day comes, I can directly marry him.”

“But what about now? I’m going to get married far away. It’s impossible for me to come back in the future. I’ll die in that kind of place. Mom, what’s the point of my endurance for so many years? Mom, am I not your daughter? Did you carry me from others? Why don’t you think about me at all?”

Before Ling Mingyan married You Yuecheng, she had many opportunities. As long as her mother mentioned it in front of the Emperor, with You Yuecheng’s outstanding behavior, the Emperor would definitely agree to their marriage. The Emperor was even more unwilling to see the marriage between several aristocratic families. The Emperor would be more satisfied to see her, the princess of the royal family, to hold him up.

However, her mother was unwilling to do it and claimed that it was not the best opportunity. If she mentioned it at that time, they would offend Ding General Manor and the Empress, which was not good for their career. So it was not in a hurry and she had to endure it first. In the future, the man would eventually belong to her.

So she endured it, in a very hard way. She watched him marry someone else in red clothes, but the bride was not her. She suppressed the jealousy in her heart and repeatedly told herself that as long as she endured it for a few more years, she would be able to stay with this man forever.

For this little bit of hope, the Sixth Princess appeared to be gentler in front of others!

But what about now? What did everything mean? She couldn’t see any hope now. Tears fell down one by one and her body became weak.

Perhaps because Imperial Noble Consort Wen saw the despair and sadness in the Sixth Princess’s eyes, her expression softened. She squatted down, reached out to help the Sixth Princess up, and comforted her, “Xuehe, take it easy. It’s not the end result yet. There is at least one month left. Too many things can happen in this month. You are too impetuous. If you’ve told me about this, you wouldn’t have been caught off guard.”

“Is there any opportunities? Mom, Father has already issued the imperial edict. People of the Southern Barbarian Lands said that the Third Prince would welcome me in person…” The Sixth Princess lowered her eyes and laughed sadly in a low voice as tears dripped from the corners of her eyes. Would there still be an opportunity? The Emperor had already issued the imperial edict. Could it be that the imperial edict can be changed?”

“Silly girl, there are plenty of opportunities. As long as you are not married yet, there are plenty of opportunities,” Imperial Noble Consort Wen said with certainty, and a trace of darkness flashed across her eyes.

Making Feng Xuehe marry far away was not a part of her sophisticated plan. There was a huge difference between the effect of a daughter who married far away and that of a daughter who stayed close to her side and contacted the young masters of aristocratic families. She had taken this daughter with her since she was a child and taught her personally. How could she allow her to marry far away? It would ruin a good pawn.

Perhaps Imperial Noble Consort Wen’s confident tone gave the Sixth Princess hope. The girl slowly looked up at her mother’s still calm and beautiful face, and asked, “Mom, really?”

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” Imperial Noble Consort Wen pulled the Sixth Princess up from the ground. Like a loving mother, she tidied up her clothes and pulled her into the inner hall. The palace maid who was holding the imperial edict respectfully behind her did not follow in. She put it on the table again and walked out lightly.

Although she was Imperial Noble Consort Wen’s confidential, she knew that she shouldn’t know too much about some things. Otherwise, she would end up like the palace maid in the dry well behind the palace. If someone in the harem was negligent, they would not know how they would die.

Crown Prince Xieyue and his people moved out of King Xuan’s Manor the next day. It was a done deal. They had stayed in King Xuan’s Manor because they did not have a suitable place to live. Then, because Princess Caifeng wanted to marry King Xuan, they had put off the matter of moving out of King Xuan’s Manor again and again. Then, Hu Qianyue was ill.

Now Hu Qianyue said that she had recovered and could move out. Of course, they would move out immediately. Among the two girls who were from the Southern Barbarian Lands and was going to stay in the Qin Kingdom, one was going to marry King Ning as his second consort, and the other was going to marry King Yan’s Manor as King Yan’s co-wife. In any case, it was inappropriate for them to live in King Xuan’s Manor. It was not good for them to live in their future brother-in-law’s manor.

Their things had already been packed up. Once they had decided to move out, these things could be moved into the carriages. Besides, they hadn’t lived here for a long time, so the things didn’t increase much. Most of the things they brought with them had been moved over with the other envoys of the Southern Barbarian Lands. The other envoys had already moved out, so they were the only ones who needed to move out this time.

Mo Xuetong did not know much about these matters. She only knew that Crown Prince Xieyue had come to find Feng Yuran early in the morning and they went to Jinwei Pavilion together. They chatted for a long time there. Mo Xuetong did not know the details. It was said that the two of them were having a good chat, and that Feng Yuran had especially sent Crown Prince Xieyue to the door. It was rare for him to be so polite and considerate.

Crown Prince Xieyue also seemed to be in a good relationship with the host, which made everyone who saw him satisfied. King Xuan, who had always been a playboy, was also a capable man. He treated the envoys of the Southern Barbarian Lands so well. In addition, the marriage between the two countries had been settled. It seemed that there had been no more battles in these days, and the Southern Barbarian Lands was very peaceful.

The requirements of common people were very simple. They just hoped to live a peaceful life, and it was enough. On a peaceful day, no one was willing to start a war again!

When the people of the Southern Barbarian Lands left, Mo Xuetong ordered some servants to clean up the two places, and then sent some people to plant some of the flowers and plants Princess Caifeng had pulled out before. In less than a day, the entire King Xuan’s Manor had returned to its former state. It was no longer the same as it had been when Princess Caifeng still lived here.

Early in the morning, Mo Xuetong got up. Feng Yuran had returned to the court and would leave early every day. When Mo Xuetong got up, he was already gone!

After breakfast and dealing with some affairs of the inner mansion, Mo Xuetong heard a report from a maidservant that Young Madam Li wanted to see her.

Young Madam Li was Luo Mingzhu. Mo Xuetong hurried to get someone to invite her in. Luo Mingzhu had been a little lukewarm towards Mo Xuetong ever since they parted that day. Luo Mingzhu obviously had something on her mind, which she could not say. That day Luo Mingzhu had gone to persuade her parents. Luo Mingzhu’s expression had changed when Mo Xuetong found her. Her face was pale. After that, she hurried home and did not go with Mo Xuetong.

When they met again, Luo Mingzhu was obviously a little flustered, as if she did not want to talk too much.

Mo Xuetong had always wanted to know about what had happened in her second uncle’s courtyard that day and what Luo Mingzhu had seen and heard. She even had a feeling that it would solve the mystery of Fu General Manor’s back courtyard. That desolate and withered courtyard had always been a thorn in Mo Xuetong’s heart.

However, as Luo Mingzhu had a knot in her heart, she could not be anxious at the moment. She could only wait until Luo Mingzhu figured it out and told her.

In this case, Luo Mingzhu must have something to do with her today.

But she had no idea if it was what she was thinking.
