The Grand Princess had even forced the original wife of the Marquis Xie to her death in order to obtain him. The entire hall was filled with nobles and nobles, and it was unknown just how many people's souls of gossip had been ignited. Under such circumstances, the only way to break the rumor was to let Xie Zhangxian appear in front of everyone.

Facing wave after wave of toasts, the marquis was clearly a lot more tired. The Grand Princess timely suggested, "Master, Chang Yi and the rest have prepared their own hearts. They have been waiting outside for a long time."

Master Xie nodded. A servant came out of the side door to summon the various young misses. As a result, the surroundings quieted down. Everyone held their breaths as they waited quietly for Miss Xie to enter the hall.

In the time it took to make a cup of tea, a young girl dressed in blue walked in gracefully.

Xie Zhangyue dressed up with great care, her hair was adorned with gold and jade jewelry, the ruby earrings swayed, and she had a sweet smile on her face. She gracefully bowed, and said in a crisp voice, "My daughter wishes daddy good luck, like the East Sea, better than Nanshan in life."

The marquis nodded his head in satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with the Grand Princess's teachings.

"Second Miss, what gift did you bring?"

Upon hearing the Second Prince's question, Xie Zhangyue's face turned slightly red as he shyly replied, "Changyue has no plan. She's only capable of showing sincerity." Next to her, a maidservant unfurled the longevity scripture.

Everyone present was shocked and even the marquis' expression changed slightly.

"Stop kneeling and get up."

Xie Zhangyi silently smiled, then quickly disappeared. That little girl, Xie Zhangyue, had rushed onto the stage in order to show off her birthday present in front of Xie Zhangzhen. She wanted to see how Xie Zhangyue would resolve this situation.

"How could this be …"

A cry of surprise came from the corner, and Xie Zhangzhen was at a loss as to what to do. She grabbed Xie Zhangyi's hand in panic, her voice even had a hint of a sobbing tone. "Big sis, how could, how could …" Why are second sister's gifts the same as mine? "

Xie Zhangyi looked at Xie Zhangzhen with a smile that didn't reach his eyes and said half-heartedly, "It's probably because you and sister Changyue have a connection to each other."

In the banquet hall, the Grand Princess was already looking at him with dissatisfaction. Xie Zhangyi knew that Xie Zhangzhen would not dare to enter, so he lightly patted her hand and said, "Third sister, don't worry. I'll enter first for you.

Xie Zhangyi scoffed. "Let's do the finale."

Xie Zhangyi straightened his back and walked into the banquet hall. The entire banquet hall immediately fell silent. Xie Zhangyi's beauty caused everyone to be immersed in her beauty. This did not mean that this young miss from the Xie family was dressed in luxurious clothing, and that her clothing was not more exquisite than Xie Zhangyue's, but that her jewellery was the most commonly seen jade lotus in Yan City. However, her appearance and manner made all the other women in the hall lose their luster, and there was no one else in the room.

"As expected of the Grand Princess's daughter."

"I'm afraid he's not inferior to the princess of the Imperial City."

In the midst of all these whispers, the marquis' eyes were also filled with gratification. This was his, Xie Zhiqiu's, daughter.

"Greetings to father from Changyi. I wish father's life is longer than that of Song. The sun and the moon are bright."

Just listening to this voice would give birth to countless fanciful thoughts, and the owner of this voice would definitely be a gentle and graceful lady, and the two 'gentlemen' would no longer be able to hold themselves back, competing to win the beauty's green eyes.

"Cousin is the best present today." The Second Prince could not help but open his mouth and say, "I'm afraid that one of the remnants of the East Sea would have fallen into the human world. It has truly opened the eyes of us mortals."

"Cousin, you flatter me." Xie Zhangyi lowered his head slightly. This kind of shy attitude from a girl made people want to be intimate with her.

Yan Jiuke looked at Xie Zhangyi with a deeper gaze as the ambition in his eyes became clear. He was determined to get this Xie Zhangyi. The Grand Princess sat on the throne, watching everything that happened below the stage. She wished that she could personally go down and help her daughter up.

The Grand Princess had a smile on her face, her eyes filled with love as she asked softly, "Changyi, what gift did you bring to your father?"

"Replying to mother, Changyi knew that father is proficient in music and that swallowing the zither is like an order. He made several inquiries and found a Jiao Wei Gu zither and gave it to father." A servant came up with a zither. At first glance, it looked very ordinary. The workmanship was even a bit rough, so there was nothing special about it.

"This zither was created by the famous craftsman of the previous dynasty, Madam Zheng."

"As everyone knows, after the demise of the previous dynasty, Lady Zheng sacrificed her life for the country. All of his works were set on fire … This zither is the only zither that is known to the world. "

Xie Zhangyi said. He moved behind the zither and used his jade-like fingers to hook it, causing the zither to produce a few notes that sounded like jade beads striking against stone. It was a melodious melody.

"It is indeed a good zither, it is indeed extraordinary."

"Not only is she beautiful, she is also so filial …"

The Second Prince pretended to complain, "With Changyi's Pearl in front, I'm afraid that our gifts will no longer catch the eyes of the Marquis Xie."

They were trying their best to please Xie Zhangyi.

The marquis smiled faintly. "The gift is no longer valuable, but rather, did you think about it?" Even though he said that, the marquis' eyes never left the zither.

No one saw Xie Zhangyue's eyes, which were filled with jealousy in the corner.

She was also the daughter of the prime minister's household. She had never received any attention from anyone before. If she had the same family background as Xie Zhangyi, and if she was the direct descendant of a young mistress … But that doesn't matter. A hint of a sinister smile flashed across Xie Zhangyue's eyes. She wasn't the worst. The worst was that slut, Xie Zhangyue.

"Mistress." Xie Zhangyue's sudden words caught the attention of many people, especially when they saw that his second prince, whom they had been admiring for a long time, also looked like himself. Xie Zhangyue's face couldn't help but redden as he spoke with a sweet and timid tone, "Mistress, don't forget that there's still a third sister who hasn't come to pay her respects."

The third miss of the Xie Clan, the one who caused the chaos in the banquet hall, the one who was rumored to be the third miss?

A girl who grew up in the countryside?

Xie Zhangyi smiled gently, but it did not reach his eyes.

"Yes, mother. I am really curious about my third sister's birthday present."

Who would believe such hypocritical words?

Xie Chang who had been the cat in the corner all along was suddenly called out. Knowing that it was time for her to appear, she gently straightened her wrinkled clothes and walked into the banquet hall.

The recent rumors about the Xie Clan's Third Young Miss who had rushed out in the middle of the road were too bizarre. All the madams in the banquet hall widened their eyes and stretched out their necks, ready to catch a glimpse of her "appearance."

"I heard that he had been living in the village all this time."

"I grew up in the countryside. It doesn't look like it."

It really didn't look like it. Xie Zhangyue's eyes were on the verge of spitting fire. How could he be so unperturbed and unperturbed? Every step he took gave birth to a lotus, making him resemble a wild girl who had never seen the world before?
