After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 164 The Ceiling of Pure Desire

Fang Lingyan looked at her younger sister with a headache.

This look really left her speechless.

"Go and get ready, we're waiting for you."

Fang Lingchu was completely bewildered as Blueberry pulled her back to her room to get dressed.

The two maids took out the two pieces of cloth that the Empress had given them to make into clothes.

One is yellow with a hint of blue, and the other is purple with a touch of red.

Fang Lingchu looked at it for a while and then chose a color different from her sisters.

Today, her sister is wearing a yellow outfit, while Lin Wanrou is wearing a blue outfit with a touch of green.

So she should choose the purple dress!

After Fang Lingchu chose her clothes, Lan Mei fussed over her for a long time and then put some pretty hair accessories on her head.

She wore earrings that she doesn't usually like to wear, and also the necklace that her aunt had prepared for her.

Fang Lingchu looked at herself in the bronze mirror, then turned to Blueberry and asked, "Do we really have to go out like this?"

The person in the mirror has red lips and white teeth, a beautiful face, and the features of a beauty can be seen in her eyebrows and eyes. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.

She had fair skin, a pearl adorning her forehead, and several hairpins with pearl ornaments in her hair, which were also made of pearls.

Her fair neck was exposed, and her dress featured a necklace shaped like an orchid, with pearls adorning the center of the orchid, making it look lifelike.

She wore a sachet at her waist, which was also adorned with pearls, not to mention her clothes.

Looking at her own imposing and noble appearance, Fang Lingchu felt somewhat hesitant to go out.

[Guagua, don't you think my outfit today is a bit over the top?]

The system, looking at its handsome host, excitedly said: [It's no exaggeration! You're incredibly beautiful! The only reason you're so stunning is because you're so low-key; people almost forget you're a princess with a fiefdom.]

Fang Lingchu thought about it and it seemed to make sense. She looked so good today, she really should go out and show off.

When Fang Lingchu opened the door and appeared, everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

Especially the Fang brothers, whenever they interact with their younger sister, they're either causing trouble or on their way to cause trouble.

Looking at her so seriously, she really looks amazing.

Minister Fang looked at his little daughter, pulled his wife aside and said, "Chuchu is most like you."

Just as everyone was completely amazed, Fang Lingchu spoke up.

She spun around in place, then pretended to bow, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Am I good-looking?"

Everyone: You look really good when you're not talking.

Mrs. Fang chuckled and took her daughter's hand, saying, "Beautiful, Chu Chu is so beautiful."

Fang Lingyan walked over and, upon hearing her mother's words, pretended to be unhappy and said, "Mother, am I not pretty?"

Seeing her sister like this, Fang Lingchu quickly ran over to her sister, grabbed her hand, and said, "Sister is so beautiful. No one in our family is as beautiful as you."

Fang Lingyan playfully pinched her sister's nose and said, "You have such a sweet tongue."

"Hehehe, Mother, why have you all come to my yard today?"

Second brother Fang Lingming said, "I have a surprise for you today!"

After that, someone said that His Majesty had sent someone to read the imperial edict.

Everyone knelt down in unison: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The person who came to read the imperial edict should quickly tell the Fang family members to rise.

Then he read out the imperial edict from the emperor to Fang Lingchu.

After reading it, Fang's parents went to see the children off, leaving the younger ones in Fang Lingchu's courtyard.

Looking at the imperial edict in her hand, Fang Lingchu couldn't help but say, "Why is Your Majesty giving me a piece of land? Does he intend for me to go back to farming?"

Everyone: What kind of thought process is this? The eldest brother, Fang Lingxing, said, "His Majesty probably just didn't know what to give you, so he gave you a piece of land, which just happens to connect with your original fiefdom."

Fang Lingming agreed, saying, "Yes, how could His Majesty possibly let you go back to farming! You don't even know the difference between the five grains."

Fang Lingchu glared angrily at her second brother and said, "Fang Lingming, do you know how to speak?"

Fang Lingming smiled and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

Fang Lingchu was so angry that she didn't want to pay any attention to her brother.

Just then, a maid came to report.

"Miss, Second Miss, and Miss Lin, Miss Su sent someone to ask when you plan to depart."

Fang Lingyan then remembered why she had come to find her sister.

He had the maid put the imperial edict in Fang Lingchu's hand away, and then pulled the two of them outside.

Fang Lingchu, who was being pulled along, looked completely bewildered.

He looked at Lin Wanrou beside him and asked her.

What did my sister ask us to do?
Lin Wanrou: I don't know either! The young lady had someone do her hair and makeup first thing this morning, without telling her!
Fang Lingchu: What is her sister going to do?

Upon arriving at the gate, I saw the largest carriage in the house parked there.

After the group boarded the carriage, Fang Lingyan released their hands.

Fang Lingchu looked at her sister, whose breathing had gradually calmed down, and asked, "Sister, where are we going?"

Fang Lingyan looked at her younger sister with suspicion and asked Lin Wanrou, "Didn't you tell Chuchu?"

Lin Wanrou blinked her innocent eyes and asked, "Did you say anything to me?"
Looking into Lin Wanrou's eyes, she realized that she hadn't told them.

"That's right, several women from our city who passed the exams, regardless of their rankings, are planning to hold a banquet at the Princess's estate outside the city."

The royal princess and several other princesses will be attending today, which is why you two were asked to dress up nicely.

Both of them were a little confused. What kind of banquet was this, so grand?

Fang Lingchu asked somewhat cautiously, "Are we going to choose a Crown Princess again?"

Fang Lingyan shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

"I don't know, but Father said the Crown Prince hasn't returned yet, so it shouldn't be."

"Weren't the eldest prince and the third prince's wives already chosen?"

Upon hearing that the Third Prince's consort had been chosen, Fang Lingchu anxiously asked, "The Third Prince's consort has been chosen? Who has she chosen?"

Fang Lingyan felt a little pain from her sister's grip, so she could only slowly remove her hand.

Fang Lingchu also realized that she had gotten too excited.

Seeing her sister's red wrist, she felt a pang of heartache and gently pulled her over to apply ointment.

"Sis, I'm so sorry! I was just too excited."

Fang Lingyan patted her younger sister's head and teased, "Chuchu, you're so excited. Could it be that you've taken a fancy to the Third Prince?"

Upon hearing her sister's words, Fang Lingchu shook her head vigorously, repeatedly stating that she hadn't.

"No, sister, don't talk nonsense. What if the Third Prince's wife gets jealous?"

The three girls were joking with each other inside the carriage.

"Sister, who is Wu Baixuan?!"

Yesterday, when Fang Lingchu went back, she specifically asked the system to check out this person's scandal.

Goodness, this is the pinnacle of pure love!

No wonder her sister could still act so arrogantly after the Fang family was gone; it turns out this guy was protecting her all along!
Tsk tsk tsk, Fang Lingchu didn't know how to describe this feeling.

All I can say is, that's incredibly naive!
