Chapter 411 Similar appearance

Today, Wang Fengyi is already the Crown Princess of Qi. She wears an extremely gorgeous Zhai robe, with her hair piled high and a large nine-dragon phoenix-tail hairpin shining with golden light. She looks even more noble and dignified than the Queen.

"Huh! Who did I think it was? It turns out to be Wang's cousin." Li Lanchun sneered and said this, then immediately corrected, "Your cousin is so noble that we are embarrassed to call you a relative. It is more appropriate to call you the Crown Princess of Qi."

Wang Fengyi glanced at Li Lanchun calmly and didn't respond. Instead, she looked at Qin Xiaoning and said, "I heard that the princess gave birth to two sons at once."

Most women would lose their looks after giving birth, but Qin Xiaoning not only did not lose any of her looks, but she became even more charming than before. Although the imperial robe was cut rigidly and the color was not bright, it looked very charming when worn by a young woman.

She stood gracefully in front of the somewhat arrogant Wang Fengyi. Her reserved temperament made Wang Fengyi look vulgar and superficial.

She smiled faintly at Wang Fengyi and said calmly, "I am well-informed by Crown Princess Qi. I did give birth to twin sons."

Wang Fengyi showed a trace of disdain on her face, but she still maintained her airs: "I really want to congratulate you and Lu Ji."

This woman was very competitive and couldn't let go of the past. Qin Xiaoning didn't bother to talk to her any more. She was about to take Li Lanchun away when she saw two people coming from the opposite direction.

There was a man and a woman. The man was about fifty years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a noble demeanor. Judging from his clothes and age, he should be the Prince of Qi, Xiao Jin. The woman was no more than twenty years old. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly from the distance, judging from her figure, she must be a very beautiful woman.

Before the two of them came close, they heard the woman calling out to Wang Fengyi, "Sister-in-law, you're here. It took me and my brother a long time to find you."

When Wang Fengyi saw the newcomer, he left Qin and Li behind and walked towards them with steady steps. He bowed to Xiao Jin first, then responded to the woman, "I came out to get some fresh air. I saw Xiang'er was so engrossed in singing and dancing that I didn't call you."

"I've seen it, but it's not interesting anymore."

As she spoke, the woman named Xiang'er walked forward. When she saw Qin Xiaoning beside Wang Fengyi, she was stunned and her eyes widened in surprise.

At this moment, not only the woman named Xiang'er was surprised, but everyone present was also surprised.

The woman named Xiang'er stood next to Qin Xiaoning, and when they compared their appearances, they were 70% similar.

"Who is this woman? Why does she look so much like A Ning?" Li Lanchun looked at Xiang'er, then at Qin Xiaoning, and couldn't help but speak first.

After Li Lanchun said this, Wang Fengyi also looked over carefully and smiled faintly: "It's just a coincidence."

As she spoke, she introduced him to everyone in a dignified manner: "This is my husband, the crown prince of Qi, named Xiao Jin."

She pronounced the words "Crown Prince of Qi" very clearly, and while saying it, she glanced at Qin Xiaoning out of the corner of her eye.

As he spoke, he took the arm of the woman called Xiang'er and said warmly, "This is Princess Xiang, the legitimate daughter of Prince Yu of Qi."

Princess Xiang was straightforward and bright. After listening to Wang Fengyi's introduction of Qin Xiaoning, she looked at Qin Xiaoning more and more, and said to her with a smile: "So you are the princess of the famous Regent King. We all know the Regent King's reputation."

The Zhou and Qi countries fought for decades for the Hexi fortress. The young Lu Ji took back Hexi from the Qi people in just a few years. He became famous in the battle of Hexi, and naturally the Qi people would remember it. Qin Xiaoning smiled and greeted, "During the time of the previous emperor, there were frictions between the Zhou and Qi countries. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, your majesty and the regent are both thinking about making peace with Qi. Frequent wars will only drain the financial resources of the two countries. Only by making peace can we work together for development and save the people from the suffering of war."

Prince Yu was a military general. Princess Xiang came from a family of generals. He was obsessed with Lu Ji's ability to fight. But after hearing Qin Xiaoning's remarks concerning the country, she didn't know how to respond.

Prince Qi, who had been standing silently aside, couldn't help but glance over after hearing Qin Xiaoning's words.

"It's rare for a woman like the princess to have such insight." Xiao Jin said.

Qin Xiaoning replied: "Your Highness can say this, which shows that he also hopes that the two countries can live in peace."

This was a very pointed remark. Xiao Jin did have such thoughts in mind, but the Emperor of Qi was an ambitious man. Now the emperor was over eighty years old and was about to die. Therefore, Xiao Jin came to Qi in person this time with many plans to improve relations and cooperate with the Great Zhou.

Before Xiao Jin could speak, Wang Fengyi took over the conversation and said, "This is a matter concerning the relationship between the two countries. It is a matter of national importance. The Regent Princess is just a woman after all. It is really inappropriate to discuss this with Your Highness."

Qin Xiaoning didn't even look at Wang Fengyi, she just said calmly: "Princess Xuancheng has only been married to Qi for a few days, and she has adapted to the local customs quickly. But you forgot that in our Great Zhou, women can participate in politics. Not only can they participate in politics, but the regent issued an edict last year that women can also join the army."

As soon as Qin Xiaoning said this, Princess Xiang's eyes lit up immediately: "I thought your regent was a military general, but I didn't expect that he would be so open-minded and allow women to join the army."

Qin Xiaoning smiled at Princess Xiang: "Today is a palace banquet, it's time to relax, let's not talk about this."

As she spoke, she called out to everyone, "Let's go back to the banquet."

Princess Xiang obviously had a good impression of Qin Xiaoning, so on the way back, she walked beside Qin Xiaoning and asked her, "May I ask, Princess, where is your mother's family from?"

As they met by chance, Princess Xiang naturally had no idea about the details of Qin Xiaoning, the Regent Princess.

As soon as she said this, it immediately aroused Wang Fengyi's mind. She turned her head to look at Qin Xiaoning with a bit of gloating on her face.

How could Qin Xiaoning not know what Wang Fengyi was thinking?

She would love to see her embarrassed in front of the foreign envoy.

Facing Princess Xiang's question, she smiled faintly and replied openly: "My mother's family is the Ningguo Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Princess Xiang couldn't help but frowned and asked curiously, "I know that the Regent is the Prince of Ningguo Mansion, and the Princess said that her mother's family is also the Ningguo Mansion. What does this mean?"

Qin Xiaoningning said truthfully: "I am an orphan, and was raised by the Duke's family. I grew up with the prince since I was young, and later, it was natural for us to become husband and wife." (End of this chapter)
