Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Ling Qiqi's speech was insightful, but also quite malicious, as she characterized the Fifth Princess's performance as sensational and insulting to the state.

Ling Qiqi thought to herself: You want to disgust me, bah.

The fifth princess stood there awkwardly, wanting to rush over and strangle Ling Qiqi to death.

The Queen signaled to the palace maid to help the Fifth Princess down quickly. Accompanied by the palace maid, the Fifth Princess walked towards her seat in embarrassment. When she passed by Ling Qiqi, she glared at her fiercely.

Ling Qiqi deliberately ignored her. Humph, she was glaring at others and ignoring him.

The Northern Emperor said nothing. Although the Seventh Princess did not give the Fifth Princess any face, he could not do anything to the Seventh Princess. He still had a certain understanding of his daughters. The Fifth Princess was arrogant and stubborn, the Sixth Princess was dull and had no opinion, and the Seventh Princess was absolutely a person who would not offend others unless they offended me. But the Fifth Princess was a person who loved to show off and had a short memory. She would go to the Seventh Princess to make trouble for no reason. Alas, it would be better for these daughters to get married earlier, so that they would not be bothered by them.

No one dared to get involved in the feud between the two princess sisters, but they all felt in their hearts that the Seventh Princess was really a powerful person. She had the ability to make friends with sisters from different surnames and the courage to bully sisters with the same surname, and she did it in public without any stage fright. They should never provoke her in the future. It seemed that the rumors were not necessarily false. Judging from the attitude of the Northern Emperor, he obviously favored the Seventh Princess. Maybe she was spoiled by the Northern Emperor.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet was a bit awkward, and the queen quickly arranged for the eunuchs to set off the fireworks to quickly divert everyone's attention.

After a while, fireworks rose into the sky one after another, instantly lighting up the entire night sky of the capital. The atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax. Everyone looked through the tall and wide gate of Guanghe Hall and admired the fireworks blooming outside.

Ling Qiqi felt that sitting in the house and watching the fireworks was quite unsatisfying, so she went over and pulled A'ran over, and went with her to the corridor outside the hall to watch to their heart's content.

The fireworks went off one after another as if they were free. Ling Qiqi and A'ran became more and more excited the more they watched. Before they knew it, every time a firework went up into the sky, she and A'ran would clap and cheer excitedly. The free and cheerful atmosphere infected most people in the hall.

Lu Cheng's position was just right to see the fireworks in the night sky and Ling Qiqi in the corridor. He was a little dazed by the scene in front of him, as if it was a lifetime ago, but it was also the same life. Although the fireworks were beautiful, they were fleeting and could not be caught or retained. However, the small figure under the fireworks was so real. No matter how ugly the makeup was, it could not cover up the brilliance of her smile, which was as dazzling as fireworks.

All good things must come to an end, and the fireworks brought the state banquet to a perfect end. After the banquet, everyone had a good impression of Beiwei's Seventh Princess and Nan Shen Wang Ji, but only had a deep impression of Beiwei's Fifth Princess, and had no impression of the Sixth Princess at all.

The Northern Emperor was both happy and worried about this result. If the three princesses wanted to marry successfully, they would probably need to do some hard work to promote themselves. But fortunately, the Seventh Princess brought back a Southern Mirage Princess, which was a gain, and the relationship with Southern Mirage could be brought a little closer.

The next day, the Northern Emperor summoned the Sixth Prince of Ximo to the palace to discuss matters. After the Northern Emperor dismissed everyone, the two talked for a whole morning, but no one knew what they talked about. All they knew was that when the Sixth Prince left the palace, he brought back many things that the Northern Emperor had rewarded him with.

When the Second Prince of Ximo asked about it, the Sixth Prince just said that the Northern Emperor and he recalled some old things. The Second Prince couldn't tell the truth from the false, not knowing whether the Sixth Prince was hiding something from him or the Northern Emperor was deliberately alienating them.

The Second Prince has sent someone to pass on the news that the Sixth Prince is returning to the country, and has begun preparing the return convoy and some supplies.

Lu Cheng also had to start packing up the belongings he was going to take back to Ximo. After all, he had lived in Beiwei for eight years and had a lot of personal belongings, so it would take some time to sort them out.

But in fact, more often than not, Lu Cheng was secretly arranging the handover of his and Ling Qiqi's business affairs.

What made him angry was that, although Ling Qiqi was now able to leave the palace at will, she was nowhere to be found in the past two days. Even if she was found, she was sticking with Pei Churan. He had no chance to talk to her alone. He gave her hints and messages, but she turned a blind eye or ignored them. It was obvious that Ling Qiqi did not take his departure seriously at all. She was an ungrateful person.

Ling Qiqi had been having a lot of fun these days. She went to the inn outside the palace to find A'ran every day and took her around the capital to travel and eat.

What’s even more infuriating is that the two of them secretly disguised themselves as men and went to casinos and brothels, under the pretext of getting a full-scale, immersive experience of Beiwei’s customs and culture.

Lu Cheng knew that Ling Qiqi had been planning to go to such a place, but she was afraid that the Northern Emperor would find out and cancel her qualification to leave the palace.

But now that she has A'ran as a shield, she can do all the things she didn't dare to do before.

That day, Ling Qiqi took Ah Ran to Lu Cheng's house and said that she wanted to borrow the Sixth Prince's place to invite Ah Ran and his friends to have a barbecue. Lu Cheng refused to lend it to her, but Ling Qiqi insisted and explained the pros and cons to him:

“First of all, I, the Seventh Princess, don’t have any mansion outside of the palace, so I have no choice but to borrow other people’s territory. But I borrow your territory because I think highly of you. I can also borrow from the Beiyi Marquis’ Mansion.

Secondly, it is not impossible to go to a restaurant, but it is certainly not as convenient as a mansion. There are always people coming in and out of a public place. If everyone has a great time, it will be easy for the news to get out. If it is fabricated by someone with ulterior motives, it will be difficult to control the negative public opinion and influence, which will damage the reputation of the royal family.

Moreover, I will invite Beiyi Hou and the third prince of Nanshen. Think about it, these people are either princesses or princesses, princes or marquises. They will all run to your mansion. If you tell them back to Ximo, you, the sixth prince, will also have face. You are going back to Ximo just now. You have to consider your network resources and public opinion.

Besides, how many days can you, the Sixth Prince of Ximo, stay in this Beiwei mansion? You are just a passer-by. I have been thinking about your mansion for a long time. When you return to Ximo, I will apply to the emperor to grant this mansion to me, so it can be regarded as using my own mansion in advance. "

Lu Cheng was furious. It turned out that Ling Qiqi had already set her sights on his mansion before his people had even returned to Ximo. But after thinking about it carefully, what she said made sense. So, he agreed, but repeatedly emphasized to her that the expenses of the dinner must be borne entirely by Ling Qiqi.

After getting Lu Cheng's permission, Ling Qiqi became even busier than before, leaving home early and returning late, busy arranging the barbecue party.

Ling Qiqi went to the blacksmith shop again and took back a few double-flavored pots that she was going to give to Ah Ran. She also ordered a few more so that Lu Cheng could take them back to Ximo. She also ordered two long ovens, one large and one small, and a bunch of iron rods, and asked the blacksmith to work overtime to make them so as not to delay her dinner.

Afterwards, she ran around ordering all kinds of ingredients and drinks, all of which were sent to the Sixth Prince's Mansion. She also instructed the Sixth Prince's Mansion's housekeeper to make sure the servants washed and cut the vegetables and meat in advance and string them into skewers, and to chill the fruits and drinks.

The housekeeper sighed with emotion. The Seventh Princess really doesn't consider herself an outsider. I don't know whether she considers herself the master or the mistress. The Sixth Prince has really spoiled the Seventh Princess for so many years. I don't know how long he can spoil her. They are both at the age of falling in love. I hope lovers can finally get married.
