seem incompetent."Ding Si frowned slightly, "Young Master shouldn't think that way. At this critical juncture, the most important thing for Young Master is to stay safe. That would be the greatest hel...She had such a change that Xiaohua didn't know whether she was happy or worried, but she still continued to wring her hair dry.

After her hair had dried, Xizi could prepare to have the maids and guards around her leave. She wanted to be alone for a while.

Just then, a shout from his loyal guard suddenly rang out in the courtyard, "Who's there"

Xi Zi Ke'er's eyes sank. She thought the second half of the night would be calm, but she didn't expect anyone to still be tirelessly rushing to deliver themselves to death.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, then stood up.

There seemed to be a fire of anger brewing within me, and just as I felt it building, those people outside arrived.

She got up and went straight to retrieve the sword hanging on the wall. With a grim face, she walked out of the house.

The moment she opened the door, she saw the person standing in the middle of the yard at once.

In that instant, the hatred and anger in her eyes vanished.

Following closely was unprecedented excitement, exhilaration, and a subconscious exclamation of, "Sister Princess."

At this time, the guards in the courtyard, who were on high alert, heard their mistress's voice and all turned to look at her.

Then, Xi Zi Ke'er had already thrown the sword in her hand to the maid beside her. She was very excited, and raised her foot to run towards An Xue Tang.

That's right, the person who came was An Xuetang and Feng Ming.

The moment An Xuetang saw Xi Zi Ke'er, she couldn't help but smile.

Her radiant smile was imbued with the refreshing breeze of early summer, a coolness that brought a sense of comfort. It was so heartwarming and endearing. Her gentle and charming smile touched the heart deeply, yet remained pure and unsullied by worldly affairs. It left one feeling as if bathed in the warmth of spring sunshine, illuminated by the moon's glow.

"Princess, how could you be here"

As soon as the words left his lips, Xi Zi Ke'er had already rushed into An Xue Tang's arms.

Seeing her rash move, Feng Ming frowned. He was about to step forward and pull her away, but An Xue Tang shook her head to stop him.

Feng Ming had to give up, but the look in his eyes toward this princess showed his disapproval of her recklessness.

But, where was Xizi Ke'er going to have time to care about his discontent

Her heart was filled with excitement at this moment. The negative emotions brought by her mother and Xizi, which had weighed heavily on her just moments ago, vanished completely the instant she saw An Xue Tang.

She really didn't expect the Princess of Beijiang to suddenly appear here.

It really surprised her.

At this time, An Xuetang patted her on the back and smiled, "What Don't you want me to come"

"How is that possible I'm so happy, I can barely contain myself. But...but Princess Sister, how could you be here"

Having said that, she seemed to realize something and suddenly let go of An Xuetang. Her gaze shifted downwards, fixating directly on her abdomen.

Previously, she had learned from An Xue Tang's letter that she was pregnant.

It should be time to give birth according to the calendar.

Indeed, her abdomen was flat.

Xizi Ke'er's eyes, brimming with excitement, shot up suddenly, fixing directly on An Xue Tang's. "This...this..."

An Xuetang raised her lips and smiled slightly, nodding. "Yes, they are twin boys. Both are very healthy."

Upon hearing this news, Xizi Ke'er became even more excited than before. She jumped up and down, exclaiming, "Wonderful...wonderful!"

The people of the Princess's palace watched their young princess excitedly, like a child, and they couldn't help but smile.

Since learning about what Princess Xizhi P'an had done a few months ago, Her Highness has not shown such an innocent and heartfelt smile for a long time.

At that moment, though they didn't know who this woman the prince called "Sister-in-law" was, respect still shone in their eyes.

And Feng Ming, seeing Xi Zi Ke'er's panting and agitated appearance, glanced at the darkening sky and couldn't help but speak, "A Tang, whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late."

Hearing this, Xizi Ke'er immediately came to her senses and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right. Your Highness, since you just gave birth, you can't overwork yourself."

After she finished speaking, she turned to her confidante beside her, "Quickly...quickly order someone to prepare a courtyard for Princess Sister. It must be decorated nicely, and the speed must be faster."

Her guards immediately bowed, "Yes."

After several guards hurried away, Xizi Ke'er finally looked at Fengming beside her.

She knows the valley master of Xintang Valley, Feng Ming.

I was just instructing those around me to prepare a courtyard for the Princess of Beijiang, but I forgot about him.

Just as she was about to speak, Feng Ming simply said indifferently, "This seat's room will be arranged next to A Tang's."

Xizi Ke'er raised an eyebrow. When he said this, the pair of cold and sharp eyes beneath his brows revealed an undeniable shrewdness and competence. His gaze flickered, constantly exuding an unquestionable majesty.

But she still didn't accept it. Just as she was about to speak, a thought crossed her mind: men and women shouldn't be too close, he wasn't the King of Beijang, so why was he living next door to the Princess of Beijang

If word gets out, what will become of the reputation of the Northern Border Princess

Before she could even form the question, An Xuetang seemed to have read the meaning in her eyes and proactively explained, “This is my older brother, from the same father and mother.”

"So it doesn't matter if he lives next door to me. My brother wouldn't trust anyone else to watch over me. If I didn't let him live next door, he would stand like a statue outside my door all day and night. It's better for him to have a proper room next door."

"......" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Since even Princess Beijang herself said so, Xizi Ke'er had nothing more to say. Although she still felt it was inappropriate, since the princess had spoken, if she didn't do as she was told, she would be considered disrespectful.

"So, what about you Did you hear what the Crown Princess just said"

The guard nodded slightly, understanding the ladies-in-waiting's meaning. He then bowed and said, "Yes, my lord, I shall arrange it right away."

He finished speaking and turned to leave.

After all, this is in the yard. Although it's not the dead of winter now, the wind can be strong at night.

After coming back to her senses, Xizi Ke'er immediately took An Xue Tang's arm and walked directly to her study. "Princess Sister, let's talk inside."

Feng Ming subconsciously followed behind the two, but just as Xizi Ke'er and An Xue Tang stepped into the house, someone from the princess mansion suddenly drew their sword and blocked Feng Ming at the door.

The sound of the two swords clashing startled Xizi Ke'er and An Xue Tang, causing them to instinctively turn around.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Feng Ming being stopped at the door. Xizi Ke'er frowned and immediately rebuked, "What's going on Can't you see he is a guest of honor in this palace"

Faced with Xizi Ke'er's reprimand, the two subordinates quickly apologized and moved their swords away.

It's not that they were willing to stop him, but the ladies' study had never been entered by a man.

Even her closest confidants wouldn't dare enter the princess's study without permission, so she instinctively stopped them.hese days, being by An Xuetang's side, that their mistress was jealous. Any matter concerning Mo Yunjing could stir her temper.So, right now, she didn't want Kang'er to bring it up and upset An Xue Ta...
