Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Chapter 282: The Most Beautiful in the World_1

The noblewomen around laughed even more delightedly. "Oh my! Sister Commandery Princess hasn’t even married yet, but she’s already being protective!"

Liu Ruofu’s ears turned red. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and with a mixture of shyness and playfulness, she said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I won’t talk to you anymore!"

"Oh dear! Oh dear! Quickly, everyone stop talking! Be careful, the Fourth Prince of Daliang might hear us and think we’re bullying the Commandery Princess. He might even blame us..." Lu Baohua said, covering her mouth with a smile.

Even though it was teasing, Liu Ruofu felt happy inside.

Especially after hearing how the Fourth Prince of Daliang had knelt to propose to her yesterday, vowing not to take any side consorts or concubines from now on. Liu Ruofu was genuinely moved.

Today, seeing that the Fourth Prince of Daliang was so extraordinarily handsome, she felt, as her father had said, that this was indeed a good match.

"The Princess of Zhen has arrived..."

"The Princess of Zhen is here too!"

Bai Qingyan and her fourth sister Bai Jinzhi followed Mrs. Dong’s side. Zhen Zeping, who was exchanging pleasantries with colleagues, saw Bai Qingyan and hurriedly called his wife and daughter to greet her. "Wife, the Princess of Zhen, and the Lord of Gaoyi!"

Mrs. Dong smiled and curtsied in return. Zhen Zeping’s wife looked at Bai Qingyan with eyes full of reverence. She pulled her daughter’s wrist and presented her to Bai Qingyan, ensuring a greeting.

Hearing the ladies whispering, Liu Ruofu turned her head toward the main hall door. She saw a group of generals and their families gathered around Bai Qingyan, blocking her view so she couldn’t see what Bai Qingyan looked like.

Then the eunuch sang out the arrival of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort.

The generals and their families, who had been chatting with Mrs. Dong, Bai Qingyan, and Bai Jinzhi, hurriedly stepped aside and saluted the Crown Prince as he entered.

Last night, the Crown Prince had sent a message to the Princess of Zhen’s residence, informing Bai Qingyan that... Li Zhijie only had a thumb ring. His intention was merely to sow discord among the Jin Kingdom’s officials, but Bai Qingyan’s unwavering loyalty had led her to report the matter directly to the Crown Prince, thus thwarting Li Zhijie’s scheme.

The Crown Prince had someone convey his condolences to her and also sent her generous gifts.

She looked up, saw Xiao Rongyan following the Crown Prince’s side, and remembered his ambiguous words on the houseboat yesterday. Avoiding Xiao Rongyan’s gaze, she lowered her eyes.

Xiao Rongyan smiled faintly, bowed deeply to Mrs. Dong and Bai Qingyan with the utmost respect.

The Crown Princess Consort looked at Bai Qingyan, then at Xiao Rongyan beside the Crown Prince, and smiled, covering her mouth with a handkerchief. "Mrs. Dong, the Princess of Zhen, and the Lord of Gaoyi, please take your seats, for the emperor and empress will arrive shortly."
