Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved

Zheng Tianxin saw that there was no response from below and naturally knew that they dared not discuss such matters recklessly. It seemed they were all as timid as mice.

"Eldest Princess, which Commandery Princess Chao Ren? Your Imperial Uncle’s daughter, isn’t that your cousin?" Zhang Linghui suddenly interjected. One wouldn’t expect these two to get along.

"I certainly do not have such a cousin," Zheng Tianxin scoffed, glancing at a figure not too far away.

Everyone was initially too afraid to speak, but upon seeing the Commandery Princess Chao Ren standing at the bow and admiring the scenery, although her figure was indistinct, her posture and profile exuded an exceptional air that subconsciously endeared her to them.

However, as soon as Zheng Tianxin spoke, the crowd slowly began to discern the implications of her words.

Then noticing Commandery Princess Chao Ren was on the Fourth Prince’s boat, and given the poor relationship between Empress Xiao and Noble Consort Wen, they somewhat understood the meaning behind the Eldest Princess’s statement.

"Eldest Princess, in my humble opinion, just by standing there, Commandery Princess Chao Ren possesses a pitiable charm, a natural grace that we cannot imitate. It must be the case of like mother, like daughter, a quality not taught, but carried from the womb," said a young lady from the Fu Feng, Ma Family, seizing the direction of the wind adeptly.

At that remark, the smile on the Eldest Princess’s face blossomed, and the atmosphere immediately livened up again. The Zhang Family’s boat, due to the Eldest Princess’s presence, instantly became the centre of the entire flotilla.

"Young Master, you can’t sleep anymore. The Crown Prince’s boat is right next to ours; if you keep sleeping, what if it is taken as a great disrespect to the Crown Prince?" Gu Dao earnestly advised while the boats were lively behind them, though he had no expectations that his young master would engage in such activities for Zong Sheng’s Family.

Disturbed by the noise, Zong Yunqian sat up abruptly.
