It is said that Ye Xiao and his half-brother originally had a good relationship, but apparently, because of some conflicts with Nie Feiyan, Ye Nian moved out of the Ye Wang Mansion and later established the Qin She, which made him an instant sensation.
Judging from Nie Feiyan's appearance, she doesn't seem to have any grudge against Ye Nian. There are rumors that Nie Feiyan has feelings for both brothers...
While sitting in the carriage, the fifteenth prince pondered wildly, feeling that Miss Nie might be a troublemaker.
Upon returning to his residence, the Prince of Xiang, he was told by his servants that the emperor's missing little princess had been found, and her name was Nie Feiyan. The prince was not only stunned but also extremely shocked.
The servants also delivered the emperor's invitation, inviting him to attend the little princess's family recognition banquet, where the emperor would personally introduce the little princess to the royal family and nobles.
However, the old imperial uncle was a sensible man and quickly figured it out: even if Nie Feiyan could cause trouble, she wouldn't be involved with him; besides, if she really was a princess, then she was of royal blood, so what if she caused some trouble for the Night Prince's mansion? Therefore, the imperial uncle decided to give the emperor face, and on the appointed day, he went to the palace to attend the banquet in high spirits.
Chu Nian knew that Nie Feiyan's search for Gongsun Liang would end this way. Gongsun Liang had long known about Nie Feiyan's true identity, but since she had been living in the Night King's Mansion, Gongsun Liang didn't want the Night King's Mansion to benefit more from the princess than he did. So he planned to find an opportunity to tell the emperor about this matter, determined to secure the greatest benefit for himself.
Sure enough, when Gongsun Liang heard that Ye Xiao dared to offend Nie Feiyan, he knew his chance had come. He deliberately pretended to see Nie Feiyan's peculiar bracelet while talking to her, recognizing it as a royal item. He then inquired about whether Nie Feiyan had a birthmark on her back, and so on. Afterward, he took her to the palace and handed her over to the emperor, who would then determine whether the girl was his lost daughter.
When the emperor saw Nie Feiyan, he immediately felt that she was the child he had lost, because she looked so much like the only true love of his life.
Add to that the bracelet the woman left for the child, and the distinctive bamboo-shaped birthmark inherited from her mother, and it was easy to confirm that this was her lost little princess.
After moving out of the Qin House, Chu Nian wandered to the outskirts of Beijing. There, she discovered a place with excellent scenery deep in the mountains, where there was even some spiritual energy, which made her feel very comfortable.
The emerald green lake rippled in the wind. The lake was no more than a hundred feet wide, and the green mountains surrounding it were clearly visible on the opposite side, rising and falling and winding into the distance.
The lakeside is covered with pebbles, and beyond the pebbles lies a patch of sunflowers, full of vitality, which instantly lifts one's spirits.
Feeling that this place was nice—far from the crowds, secluded and with elegant scenery—she went straight into the spatial artifact. She decided to stay here for a few days, to find peace and quiet within the artifact and further cultivate her mind and spirit.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning after she arrived, a strange man, no one knew who had offended him, came to the lakeside and kicked several pebbles into the lake.
The spatial artifact that Chu Nian was in was hidden among these pebbles. Ordinary people could not tell the difference between the spatial artifact and the pebbles. However, this old man was no ordinary person. After kicking away the pebble covering the spatial artifact, he found that the pebble below was a bit strange. He bent down to pick it up and exclaimed in surprise.
He looked around and, finding no one, took the object and left the lakeside. He wandered through the sunflower bushes, turning and twisting until he reached a void where he could see nothing. He stepped into an invisible wall.
"Master, look!" Lou Qianzong exclaimed in amazement as he found Jiang Bai holding the spatial artifact.
Jiang Bai said helplessly, "What are you looking at?"
Lou Qianzong: "I found it by the lake, and it looks just like the spatial artifact you gave me!"
Jiang Bai looked at him as if he were crazy, but his gaze froze when the man handed him the spatial artifact. He took the artifact, examined it carefully, and pondered, "This is just an ordinary pebble." With that, he casually placed it in a flowerpot on the windowsill.
Lou Qianzong: "How is that possible? I clearly feel a very strong energy fluctuation on this stone."
Jiang Bai: "You're mistaken." Seeing that Lou Qianzong was about to say something, he said, "Alright, go back to your room and cultivate in peace. I also need to cultivate, so don't disturb me unless necessary."
Lou Qianzong blankly uttered an "Oh," then turned and left.
After he left and closed the door, Jiang Bai used his mental power to check the doorway again. He was relieved to find that Lou Qianzong had indeed returned to his own room. He then waved his hand and set up a powerful barrier in his room before picking up the stone again.
He muttered to himself, "What does this mean? Of all the good and bad things, why did that child have to pick it up?"
Chu Nian suddenly appeared, looking helpless, and said, "That's right, I've always been wondering what kind of fate we have?"
Jiang Bai sighed deeply and said, "You didn't let him find it on purpose?"
Chu Nian: "Of course not."
Jiang Bai: "Why did you run to the lakeside and hide in the spatial artifact? Are you hiding from someone?"
Chu Nian had no choice but to tell them about Ye Xiao's disturbance.
Jiang Bai: "How dare this person bother you like this? I'll go and inform Xiao Shiwu to take care of him."
Chu Nian was startled and quickly said, "No need." Why do you have to act like this all the time? It's scary! She's a good person!
Jiang Bai then smiled and said, "Then, why don't you stay here for the time being? No one will easily bother you here."
Chu Nian: "Alright." Probably because of that invisible barrier, the air here is even better than the air around the lake outside. The spiritual energy is rich, making her feel very comfortable.
.
At the banquet, Princess Nie Feiyan, the center of attention, was led by the emperor and introduced to the royal family and high-ranking officials one by one. Ye Xiao was also among the invitees, and as a prominent young man and a prince of a different surname whom the emperor relied on, he was "introduced" to Nie Feiyan by the emperor in a rather meaningful way.
After the emperor acknowledged Nie Feiyan, he immediately sent people to investigate her background thoroughly. They learned that she had been living in the Night King's mansion and had feelings for Ye Xiao.
If Ye Xiao, as a trusted minister, could marry Nie Feiyan, it would provide Nie Feiyan with another powerful backer besides herself, and it would also make Ye Xiao more loyal to the emperor.
He had planned it all out, and Ye Xiao looked at Nie Feiyan with shining eyes. However, when Nie Feiyan met him, she couldn't help but recall his previous words and his rudeness that night, so she felt a little listless towards him.
