Shaohua is Junqing

The draft was over. Yin Jiafu did not participate due to illness, and she was never summoned to the palace. She thought she had successfully avoided the draft and was feeling complacent when an imperial edict came down, hitting her head like a bolt from the blue and making her almost faint.

"It is now found that Yin Jiafu, the daughter of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was unable to participate in the selection due to illness. It is found that she used illness as an excuse to not participate in the selection. This behavior is a contempt of palace rules and is extremely disrespectful to the emperor and the empress dowager. She is punished by house arrest for one year and cannot step out of the palace without the emperor's order. She is also not allowed to marry or attend funerals. Yin Qianlan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was demoted one level and fined half a year for not teaching his daughter well. I decree this."

"I accept your order. Thank you."

Yin Qianlan had always thought that his daughter was really sick and missed the talent show. He felt sorry for it, but he didn't expect that she actually pretended to be sick in order to avoid the talent show. He was so angry that he wanted to slap her a few times, but when he turned around and saw her collapsed on the ground, he couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

"Okay, Fuer, go back to your room and rest."

"Dad, someone must have informed the emperor about this matter, otherwise how would the emperor know that I was pretending to be sick in the palace? By the way, Princess Shaohua was here before, and she must have informed the emperor. Dad, you have to seek justice for your daughter!" Yin Jiafu suddenly grabbed her father's collar and said.

"Fu'er, it's wrong for you to pretend to be sick and deceive the king. The princess is just telling the truth and there is nothing wrong with it. Why are you asking for justice? Go back to your room quickly." Yin Qianlan said sternly, flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Yin Jiafu showed a look of hatred in her eyes, "Shaohua, I've remembered this account, and I'll ask you to pay me back double in the future." She said through gritted teeth.

Prince Chen’s Mansion, Qingfang Garden.

"Princess, the prince sent some fruit."

"What is it?"

"It's your favorite bayberry. The prince knows that you are afraid of sourness, so he ordered people to soak the bayberry in honey water. The prince tasted it himself and found it was not sour, so he brought it to you."

"Your Majesty is thoughtful. Let me try it."

Siyu picked up a bayberry and put it in her mouth and chewed it. It tasted sour and sweet, and the sourness was indeed reduced a lot.

"It tastes good and isn't that sour anymore." Siyu ate several in a row.

After eating the bayberries, Siyu took down a big brocade box from the bookshelf. After opening it, she took out a stack of papers. It turned out that Siyu had treasured all the words that Beitang Moyan gave her.

When Caidie saw Siyu take them out, she knew that she was going to practice calligraphy, so she tactfully prepared paper and pen, and then ground ink.

Siyu first took Beitang Mo Ran's calligraphy and looked at it carefully, with an expression of admiration and envy on her face. Then she put the calligraphy aside, picked up the ink pen and started writing.

Siyu would practice whenever she had free time. If she worked hard, she would get something. Her calligraphy was much better than when she first came. After Siyu wrote three pieces of calligraphy, her arms started to ache.

"Princess, if you are tired, take a rest. Why don't we go to Qiushuang Pavilion and sit there? It is the coolest place."

"Okay, let's go and take those bayberries with us."

The two came to Qiushuang Pavilion and could feel a slight coolness as soon as they entered the pavilion.

"Do you have iced sour plum soup? It's the most refreshing drink in the summer."

"Princess, please wait a moment. I will go to the kitchen to check."

After a while, Caidie came back with a large tray. On the tray was a large bowl with ice cubes in it, and in the middle of the ice cubes was a white porcelain bottle.

Caidie picked up the white porcelain bottle and poured a bowl of sour plum soup into the small bowl.

"Princess, try it."

Siyu took the small bowl and took a sip. "It's sour and sweet, icy and delicious." Then she drank all the sour plum soup in the bowl.

"Great! This is what summer should be like. Another bowl, please."

"Okay." Caidie poured another bowl of sour plum soup and handed it to Siyu.

"Cai Die, you drink too."

"Thank you, Princess."
