For the next few days, the capital was very peaceful.
Princess Ming An had also been well-behaved. Over the past few days, other than going out to walk around the streets of the capital, she did not do much.

In the mansion, Princess Ming An was wearing a golden-red dress. She was eating the preserved fruits on the plate. Opposite her were two people who looked like officials. The two of them did not look angry at all at Princess Ming An’s humiliation. These two people were none other than the sons of the Marquis of Lin’an, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao.
Ever since Xie Jingxing died, Xie Ding had been in low-spirit and never went to court again. Instead, he gave his power to his two illegitimate sons and let them fend for themselves. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were quite capable. They were both working under Prince Ding now. Although Prince Ding did not entrust them with important tasks, he still nurtured them as his future officials. The two of them hoped to achieve something.
If there was anything that Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao hated about, it was that even if Xie Jingxing and Princess Yuqing were both dead, Xie Ding still refused to make Concubine Fang the first wife. If Concubine Fang did not change her title, the two of them would always be the sons of a concubine. The reason why Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were eager to make a name for themselves was that they wanted to force Xie Ding to change them to legitimate sons.
Why they appeared in Huangfu Hao’s mansion was because of Fu Xiuyi’s instructions.
Fu Xiuyi wanted to befriend the crown prince of the State of Qin and reach some kind of agreement in private, so he naturally had to spend some effort on Huangfu Hao’s sister, Princess Ming An. Thinking that Princess Ming An might not be familiar with the capital, he sent Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao to be the guide.
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were only Fu Xiuyi’s people in private. What they usually did was to accompany the big shots. Therefore, no one would be surprised if the two of them were with Princess Ming An.
Princess Ming An had a fiery temper. Over the past few days, she had made Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao suffer quite a lot.

She looked at the two people opposite her and mocked, “Don’t you find it boring to follow me all day long? Do all the officials in Ming Qi like to follow the princesses of other countries?”
“My duty is to let Your Highness enjoy herself.” Xie Changwu said, “If Your Highness is satisfied, I will be happy.”
Princess Ming An sneered. “You’re not my official. I don’t need people who have nothing to do with my country. I heard that the Marquis of Lin’an once had a brilliant heir, but unfortunately, he died young. If it’s him, I might consider making him my official.”
The two people lying on the ground lowered their heads, but their expressions were gloomy for a moment.
Ever since Xie Jingxing died two years ago, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao thought that they would never live in his shadow again. However, every time people mentioned the Marquis of Lin’an, the first person they thought of was still Xie Jingxing. They always said, “If that Young Marquis Xie didn’t die, I’m afraid the Marquis of Lin’an would be extremely proud of his son.”
However, they forgot that the two of them were also the sons of the Marquis of Lin’an, but no matter how outstanding they were, they could not surpass the heroism that Xie Jingxing left in the hearts of everyone in the world.
Xie Changchao’s eyes flashed as he said, “My brother is indeed brilliant. He once had a good relationship with Fifth Miss Shen, the daughter of the mighty general. Speaking of which, they’re quite fated.”
