I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 357

Chapter 357

Although Xiao Siyi didn’t point fingers at any names when she said the word ‘unlucky’, it was clear at a glance who she was addressing. The onlookers were embarra.s.sed seeing that the three who were sitting down were all Princesses, each of them was a powerful Empress candidate in their own country. The other n.o.ble women resting around the gazebo were very self-aware and cooked up excuses to leave with their maids.

This was a Princess’s tea party— those who are not of sufficient status should not join in.

The others dispersed one after another, creating an environment for them to talk. After Xiao Siyi sat down, Wanyan Duo also stepped forward and saluted Xiao Siyi, “8th Princess.”

Although Xiao Siyi and Ye Luyan were not married yet, everyone in Beirong called her the 8h Princess. The land of Beirong did not pay as much emphasis on propriety and formalities as much as the Ye Dynasty. Hence, Wanyan Duo addressing her as the 8th Princess was well-received by Xiao Siyi.

Despite arriving together, Xiao Siyi and Wanyan Duo were not very familiar with each other. Beirong’s national concept was different from that of the Ye Dynasty. Xiao Siyi was from Khitan. Xiao and Yelu were the common surnames of the two branches of the Khitan as every generation’s Empresses and Empress Dowagers hailed from the Xiao family. Nevertheless, Wanyan Duo was a member of the Tayan Tribe, who originally belonged to another different branch. In other words, the tribe could very well be the va.s.sal country for Beirong.

So, Wanyan Duo merely greeted Xiao Siyi as she nodded in return. After all, there was nothing else to say. Xiao Siyi didn’t feel that she and Wanyan Duo were from the same clan, let alone try to appear affectionate and friendly towards a fellow countrymen.

Wanyan Duo didn’t seem to want to say anything more to Xiao Siyi, so after she greeted her, she obediently retreated to Jiang Mingwei’s side.

Wanyan Duo had only been in Prince Jin’s Mansion for a few days, but now it seemed that she had adapted very well to the customs of the palace.

After Wanyan Duo withdrew, Xiao Siyi looked at Mu Mingtang for a long time before she suddenly asked, “I have never heard of Princess An’s existence before. It was when I came to the capital that I learned that the famous King of Qiyang had gotten married. How did Your Highness and the King of Qiyang meet each other and why didn’t I know anything about it in the slightest?”

The Beirong people obviously could tell that it was very unusual for Xie Xuanchen to have a Princess, so they sent Xiao Siyi over to ask around.

In front of the battle between two armies, what made or break the team was the morale of the soldiers. Mu Mingtang didn’t want to show her cards at all, which was why she just smiled and said, “I have arrived at the capital in the past two years and married the Prince last year. Therefore, it’s normal that Lady Xiao has never heard of me. I don’t know when Lady Xiao and the 8th Prince will get married, but since me and the Prince would not be able to attend the ceremony, I can only express my sincerest congratulations to you now.”

Xiao Siyi smiled when she heard this as she replied that it would be held quickly since there was not much to say. She still didn’t give up on the previous topic, so she asked again, “I only heard that the King of Qiyang was born with supernatural powers and was invincible. I thought that the King of Qiyang would be very fierce, but it looks like His Highness treats his wife very softly. Is it actually true that Your Highness and King Qiyang just met each other? Judging by your relations.h.i.+p, I a.s.sumed that you must have known each other since childhood since you didn’t look like a pair of newlyweds..”
