"Huh? Why are there so many carriages in front of the palace today? Is there some happy event in the mansion?" Ping'er was slightly startled as soon as she stuck her head out of the carriage, and then she helped Xue Qingyi get off the carriage.

Xue Qingyi naturally also saw the grand scene of guests coming to the palace gate.

At this moment, she swept her spiritual sense.

Soon they learned that today was the sixteenth birthday of Yunxiu, the stepdaughter of Prince Yanping.

The palace started preparing for the birthday banquet half a month ago.

There will also be a fireworks display.

Among the guests there were princes and nobles, as well as ministers from the court. Even the imperial concubines from the palace came to the banquet to show the emperor's love for the Prince of Yanping. There were even some monks.

Um?

wrong.

Why does this person have both a layer of black evil ghost energy and a layer of demonic energy? Could he be a high-level demon in human form?

Xue Qingyi's consciousness paused, and lingered for a moment on a man who was dressed elegantly and had a noble bearing.

However, the man was extremely perceptive and noticed her spying. He immediately swept his sharp eyes towards her, trying to spy on her!

She quickly withdrew her spiritual sense, and pinched a talisman with her fingertips to block the spiritual sense from prying eyes, thus reducing her presence.

After a moment, the man's prying eyes dissipated.

Xue Qingyi frowned slightly and was about to put away the talisman.

"Beautiful sister."

At this moment, her sleeve was suddenly pulled by a very light force, and a soft voice unique to children sounded beside her, "I can't find my mother, can you help me?"

Xue Qingyi turned her head and lowered her eyes to look.

Then she saw a human cub about four years old, wearing ordinary cloth clothes, with a round, chubby face, blinking a pair of big eyes like black grapes, looking at her with some curiosity and shyness.

She looked at the brat's small fleshy hands pulling her sleeve with incredible precision and was slightly surprised.

How could this cub actually detect her presence?

"It turns out that he has a natural water spiritual root! He is born with a strong perception! There is actually such a talented seedling in the human world! Apart from the Tianyin body, isn't this the most suitable talent for me to possess another body! Huh? No, he is also wearing a space jade pendant. Could it be that he has been reserved for possession by another old monster? He should be a member of the royal family, right? But dressed in cloth, he looks like a commoner's child." In the dantian, the old ghost Xiao Guan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said in shock and excitement.

Xue Qingyi frowned when she heard that.

This old ghost really never changes his bad habits!

"What's your name? Who is your mother?" At this time, Xue Qingyi ignored the old ghost, put away the talisman on her fingertips, squatted down, and asked in a gentle tone.

"My mother is in here."

The little kid raised his little hand and pointed at the palace's tall gate and courtyard. Although he was still young, he spoke clearly and fluently, and was very smart. "I saw her go in. There were many people around her. She didn't recognize me, but Daddy said that was my mother. Sister, can you take me in to see her? I just want to take a look at her from a distance, without talking to her or disturbing her."

Finally, he added, "My last name is Jiang, and my father calls me You'er."

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Xue Qingyi would not agree, he pulled her sleeve with his little hand and shook it twice like a spoiled child, "Sister, please, I'm very obedient and sensible, I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

I have to say.

The pups that act like spoiled brats have the best luck.

Being begged by such a soft cub, Xue Qingyi's unusually cold heart softened uncontrollably for the first time after her rebirth.

She looked at the little baby's pitiful, pleading eyes.

The child is pure and clear.

He was still so young, and just wanted to take a look at his mother across the crowd, and that old ghost said he had great talent, but he had a space jade pendant on him...

This means that he has either been reserved by some Nascent Soul monster in the Metaverse, who plans to take over his body in the future, or he cannot avoid this fate in the future.

The same pitiful fate as Yun Rou, who has no control over her own destiny.

At this moment, Xue Qingyi couldn't help but feel sympathetic, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, sister will take you there."

Anyway, I came here today to make some noise, so I’m not afraid of any trouble if I bring this little cub with me.

"But in a while, you have to listen to your sister. Whatever your sister says is what you have to do. You have to cooperate with your sister, okay?" Xue Qingyi instructed again.

"Okay! I'll listen to you in everything!" Jiang You'er immediately agreed excitedly.

Xue Qingyi smiled at him and gave Ping'er a few more instructions.

Afterwards, he called the coachman Uncle Zhao and went into the palace together.

She used some spiritual hints on the guards in the mansion, and they encountered no obstacles along the way and soon arrived at the venue of the dinner.

At this time, it had already darkened.

The dinner was held by the lake in the back garden. Maids brought in trays with delicious dishes. Guests sat there, drinking and chatting, waiting for the fireworks to be displayed later.

The Prince and Princess of Yanping were sitting in the main seats, chatting and laughing with the imperial concubine and a beautifully dressed young girl. From time to time, the girl looked shyly at a tall man sitting opposite her who was extremely handsome, noble and indifferent.

"Xiu'er is already sixteen years old, and it's time for her to get married. Prince Qi, when do you plan to marry Xiu'er? It's time for your Princess Qi to have a princess too, right?" At this time, the imperial concubine suddenly smiled and asked the handsome man opposite.

"I vaguely remember that the one I was engaged to was the eldest daughter of the palace, Yun Rou, and not this girl." Upon hearing this, Prince Qi raised the corners of his lips slightly and spoke in a not-so-good tone.

The imperial concubine was stunned by his words, and seemed to have just remembered that there was such a person.

"Yun Rou is good, but she is born with a bad fate. She is unlucky in everything. She is unlucky in everything. She is not a good match for you."

Princess Tu Shanyou immediately responded, "Although Yunxiu is not the prince's biological daughter, she has been carefully taught by the prince and is no worse than Yunrou. Moreover, the prince sent someone to take Yunrou home, but she refused to come back and even left the Taoist temple without permission. I don't know where she went to fool around. She is completely different from the gentle and obedient girl she used to be. Therefore, the prince and I have already discussed that the marriage with Prince Qi will be replaced by Yunxiu."

"Yes, Yunrou has become unruly. Our Xiuer is still the best." Prince Yanping nodded in agreement.

"Father, Princess, I'm still alive. It's not appropriate for you to say bad things about me in front of so many people." At this time, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded.

Only then did everyone realize that a snow-white female figure had appeared at some point.

At this moment, the woman took off the veil on her head, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

"Is this... Yun Rou?" Someone recognized her immediately.

"Yes, it's me." Xue Qingyi glanced at the person and smiled slightly.

The man blushed immediately and looked flattered.

While everyone was paying attention to Xue Qingyi, the imperial concubine glanced at the cub that was following her obediently. When she saw what the cub looked like, she was suddenly shocked and her face turned pale!

This is not...

The imperial concubine was horrified and was about to collect her thoughts when she heard Xue Qingyi say, "Just now I heard that my father and the princess seemed to be discussing changing my marriage with His Royal Highness Prince Qi to that of my stepsister?"

"That's right." Princess Tu Shanyou was obviously very surprised that Yun Rou would show up alive. Her face darkened for a moment, but she soon recovered as usual. She explained in a calm voice, "You are a star of misfortune, so it is not suitable for you to get married. Even if you get married, you can't have children. But the Qi Wang Mansion must have successors, so I made the decision with your father to change your marriage."

"Who said I couldn't have children? Isn't this it?"

Xue Qingyi sneered upon hearing this, and then she held Jiang Youer's hand and looked at Prince Qi, "Your Highness, four years ago you went to the Taoist temple and had sex with me. Do you remember? Look, this is the child I gave birth to for you. Isn't he beautiful? He's also very sensible."

However, in private, she used the secret art of voice transmission to His Royal Highness Prince Qi, the demon she had discovered before: "Daoyou, can you help me?

"Act with me for a play, and then we'll go our separate ways without further ado."
