Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

"Why is it impossible for us? Although I'm not as pretty as you, I'm not ugly either." A'ran asked like a pure little white lotus.

"You and Bei Yihou are too..."

"Too what?"

"You are too unfree. You can't be your own masters."

"I can."

"But Bei Yi Hou can't do that. My father is the first one to disagree."

"Then what to do."

"You should give up as soon as possible."

"OK then."

"You really listen to advice. Do you like or dislike someone so casually?"

"I just like him, but I don't want to marry her."

"It's rare to meet someone so sober like you."

"By the way, why are you dressed like this today... You don't look as good as when you're in men's clothes. You're outdone by the Fifth and Sixth Princesses."

"It's beautiful but not worth eating."

"No wonder the Sixth Prince and Beiyi Hou both said you are a foodie. How come you want to eat everything?"

"They are talking bad about me again? See how I will deal with them later." At this point, Ling Qiqi suddenly thought of Lu Cheng's departure from Beiwei. She didn't know if she could find a chance to deal with him before he left. In an instant, Ling Qiqi's mood dropped again.

Seeing Ling Qiqi was silent and standing there alone, Ah Ran didn't know whether she was angry or sad, so he interrupted and asked:

"You are dressed like this today. I am embarrassed to introduce you to my third brother."

"It's better not to introduce it. I don't want to attract any bees or butterflies today. I'd better leave them to other flowers."

"By the way, you said last time that you would treat me and my third brother to a barbecue. When is that? We are both waiting."

"Did I say that?"

"I told you, you wouldn't have forgotten, would you?" A'ran stared at her, afraid that the Seventh Princess would cheat.

"How is that possible? Did I ask what time it was? It's not convenient for me to leave the palace. I'll go back and ask for permission from my father."

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Are you feeling better now? Do you want to go back to the banquet?"

"I don't want to go back. It's too boring. Do you want to come with me to my palace? I have a deer."

"Really? Then lead the way."

Ling Qiqi sent someone to report her and Little Princess' whereabouts to the chief eunuch, so that the emperor or the queen would not be able to see them and ask about them. Then she took A'ran and trotted all the way to her Bu Lao Pavilion.

Liu did not accompany the Seventh Princess to the state banquet, but stayed in the Bu Lao Pavilion. Seeing that the Seventh Princess suddenly brought Princess Nan Shen back to the palace, she was inevitably caught off guard. Ling Qiqi explained to her and asked her to go to the small kitchen to cook chicken soup wonton noodles for her and A'ran.

A'ran and Mianmian had a lot of fun. Mianmian was raised by Ling Qiqi so that her fur was shiny and smooth, and her personality was very friendly. A'ran liked and envied her very much.

After a while, the wonton noodles were cooked and served. Liu also had people bring fruit juice and various snacks. Although simple, they tasted much better than the food at the banquet.

A'ran had not eaten enough at the banquet just now, but when he saw the fragrant wonton noodles, he did not hesitate to eat them with the Seventh Princess and the other two with relish.

Seeing how much they were eating, Liu was afraid that it might not be enough, so she hurried to the kitchen to add more dishes.

After having enough soup and food, they both curled up on the lazy sofas to burp.

A'ran was filled with admiration and envy for the furniture and furnishings in the Seventh Princess's palace. How should I put it? She really knew how to enjoy life.

Take this thing called the Lazy Killer for example. It’s actually a big cloth bag in the shape of a rice dumpling. It’s said to be filled with feathers of chickens, ducks and geese. It’s so comfortable to snuggle in it.

She had been in Beiwei for such a long time, and felt that everything along the way was new, but none of them was as great as the surprise that the Seventh Princess gave her.

She felt that the Seventh Princess was truly a talent, and that such a talent should be brought back to their Nan Shen and put to work right away.

"Seventh Princess, what do you think of my third brother?"

"Who? Are you talking about the Third Prince of your Nan Shen? I didn't notice him, I don't have any impression of him, I don't have any feeling about him. Why do you always mention him? If I remember correctly, you mentioned him to me twice tonight."

"I want you to be my third sister-in-law."

"Puff~" Ling Qiqi sprayed out a mouthful of juice, startling Mianmian who was about to step forward to steal some snacks.

"What a joke. We can be sisters instead of sisters-in-law." Ling Qiqi said with regret.

"I just want you to stay in our Nan Shen with a legitimate reason. Besides, my third brother is the best. He has a good personality, good looks, and good skills."

"But I heard that he was not in good health."

"...My third brother's health will get better. I have confidence in him."

"What's the use of having confidence?"

"You don't know my third brother, you don't understand him. I think ordinary women are not worthy of him. If it weren't for you, I would not be willing to give up my third brother."

"Thank you for your appreciation of me, but I really don't deserve it."

"You don't have someone you like, do you?"

"No."

"Then why don't you consider my third brother?"

"Then tell me first, why do you insist that I consider your third brother?

"Because I like Third Brother, and I like you too."

"Listen to your logic. You like both of us, so why should we be together? Are you a matchmaker? Isn't it because the two of us are well matched and have similar interests that you bring them together?"

"Anyway, I hope you can become a family member to me and my third brother. It would be great if we can always be together."

"Even if I agree to marry your third brother, can you promise not to marry someone else? If you marry someone and leave, your third brother and I will be left staring at each other. Is that appropriate?"

"It's inappropriate."

"Besides, I think there's no need to add another man to our relationship. Similarly, there's no need to include me in the relationship between you and your third brother. In life, there's always a ladle that doesn't touch the edge of the pot. I want to ask, if I get into a quarrel with your third brother, whose side will you stand on?"

"I......"

"You see, it's very difficult, so why do you have to bring the two of us together? You'll be stuck in the middle and feel like a nobody. This is absolutely a very bad idea."

"What should I do?"

"What should we do? We can each rent our own, how simple it is. When the time comes, let your third brother find you a gentle and virtuous sister-in-law, and then you will have someone to love you, how great is that?"

Ling Qiqi felt like she was a child who was convincing her parents about their divorce. After the divorce, the New Year's money given by her biological mom, dad, stepmom, and stepfather would at least double.

"Yeah, that makes sense." A'ran seemed to have understood this confusing matter.

Ling Qiqi continued to persuade her:

"Besides, why should I go to Nan Shen? Have you had enough fun in Bei Wei? Can't you stay in Bei Wei?"

"Of course I haven't had enough fun, but I can't stay in Beiwei for long. After the Chunrong Conference is over, I will go back to Nanshen."

"That's easy. I'll go back and tell my father that we can become sworn brothers. I'll let you stay in Beiwei for a few more days, and you can go back whenever you feel homesick."

"That's good, but unfortunately we are both women. Sooner or later we will have to get married and separate."

"Why think so much? Just have fun for one more day. Besides, who says women have to get married?"

"Isn't that what the elders always say?"

"Are the elders always right? Besides, am I such an obedient child?"

Ah Ran nodded. She felt that what the Seventh Princess said always made sense, but she still asked half-doubtfully:

"Can you just say you won't marry?"

"I have a gold medal for exemption from marriage."

"What is the gold medal for exemption from marriage?"

"I grew up with the Empress Dowager. She loved me and left a will to my father before she died. It's up to me to decide my marriage, even if I don't want to get married."

"Are you really not going to get married in the future?"

"It depends on fate and my mood. Anyway, I have the final say."

"I really admire you."

"Hehe, I envy myself too."
