"I'm sure the Queen has her own ideas." Su Minglang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Since the Queen has invited me, I will definitely attend the meeting on time."

"Then I will go report to the Queen first. I'll take my leave." Xiaozhu was ready to leave after getting the confirmation. Su Minglang waved her hand and said nothing.

"Master, the Queen suddenly said she wanted to go riding. Could she have some other intention?" Nan Xing looked at Xiao Zhu's back as she left and said worriedly, "After all, she just wanted to distance herself from you not long ago."

"We'll know when the time comes. What's the point of guessing here?" Su Minglang said nonchalantly, "Have you prepared all the clothes for tonight's banquet?"

Nan Xing nodded after hearing that, and she stopped dwelling on the question. She turned around and took a pile of clothes, took the top piece and unfolded it in front of Su Minglang: "Would you like to wear this tonight?"

When Xiaoye was away, these tasks fell on Nanxing. She was holding a long gold-thread skirt. The red patterns dotted on it made the whole dress more lively, and even suppressed the solemnity brought by the gold thread.

Su Minglang stroked the hem of her skirt and said, "The Queen is here tonight, so it's not appropriate to wear something too flashy. This dress is nice, but..."

Su Minglang immediately saw a lake blue skirt stacked in the middle, with a few small flowers embroidered on the front with white thread. She pointed at the skirt and said, "Let's take that one."

"That one?" Nan Xing turned around and took the clothes and asked, "But Master, isn't this dress too plain?"

"What's wrong with being a little more quiet?" Su Minglang asked back, "There are a lot of flamboyant people tonight anyway."

Nan Xing's mind instantly flashed with the image of Concubine Shu, and she immediately understood what Su Minglang meant. However, when she thought that her own concubine would be outdone by others, she felt a little unwilling.

"Why do you have to avoid the spotlight all the time? The dress you passed on is obviously much more beautiful than the one worn by Concubine Shu!" Nan Xing curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly.

"What's the point of fighting for a moment of pleasure?" Su Minglang laughed, put on the lake blue skirt, turned in front of her and said, "Wouldn't your master look good in other clothes?"

"So which one is better, the clothes or the person?"

"Of course she's pretty!" Nan Xing said without hesitation, and went over to help Su Minglang straighten her skirt and tie the laces. Then he walked a few steps away, took a closer look, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, my master looks good in anything she wears!"

Su Minglang smiled helplessly, rubbed her head from behind and said, "Okay, stop being so funny!"

"By the way, go to the kitchen and ask if there are any snacks. You can fill your stomachs in advance, as this dinner will last for a long time."

"There are so many people at the banquet and I can't feed you with that thing. We can only wait until it's over to eat. I don't know what time it will be, so it's always a good idea to prepare something in advance."

"I understand, Your Majesty." Nanxing felt warm in her heart. Su Minglang always thought about them all the time, and even cared about such a small matter more than others.

She is different from Xiaoye. Xiaoye is a maid that Su Minglang has brought with him since she was a child. Naturally, she is different from others. It is natural for her master to care about her more. However, she is just a little palace maid picked up by Su Minglang, and the kind of palace maid who is most disliked by the masters and is punished for making mistakes.

Nan Xing was gradually warmed by this kind of relationship, and the last bit of defense in her heart gradually faded away with Su Minglang's daily care. At this moment, let alone doing things for Su Minglang, she would probably be willing to die for her.

"I'll go ask later," Nanxing nodded, suppressing the fluorescence that was about to appear in her eyes.

"Don't be too nervous." Su Minglang saw Nan Xing lowering her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Thinking that this was her first time attending such a palace banquet with him, he thought she was nervous and kept silent, and said to comfort her: "It's not you or me who will be the protagonists today. When we go to the hall later, just sit in your seat and watch the performance."

"I'm not nervous." Nan Xing calmed down and looked up at her and said, "I was just thinking about you..."

Nan Xing paused and quickly added: "I was thinking about how you would look in that skirt."

“It must be beautiful too.”

Su Minglang was also worried, and her mind was not completely focused on Nanxing, so she didn't notice her at all. She just thought that she really wanted to see her wearing that skirt, so she smiled helplessly and said, "It's not like I haven't worn that dress before, what's so good about it?"

Nan Xing scratched his head and chuckled without saying anything. Su Minglang didn't care either. Her eyes were still on the book, and her mind had long since wandered off to who knows where.

Nanxing saw that Su Minglang was lost in thought again. Although she was curious, she knew that she should not disturb her. She quietly put away the other clothes, tiptoed to her side and sat down, afraid of making any noise to disturb her.

Nan Xing originally wanted to observe Su Minglang, but his attention was quickly attracted by the book in front of him. Only when he realized that his eyes were sore and unbearable did he finally pull himself away. When he looked up, he saw Su Minglang holding a teacup and looking at him with a smile.

"Mother, mother?"

"It's still early, continue reading." Su Minglang saw her looking at him and raised his chin towards the book in her hand and said, then put down his teacup, stood up and walked out the door.

"Where are you going, Your Majesty?" Nan Xing stood up hurriedly upon seeing this. She didn't care about the book anymore. At this moment, in her mind, everything related to Su Minglang had to be put aside.

"I just went out for some fresh air." Su Minglang said helplessly. He watched Nan Xing stand up so quickly that everything went dark before his eyes. He was staggering and finally managed to hold on to the table.

"Your servant, I can't let you go out alone!" Nan Xing was about to move forward before the darkness in front of her eyes completely faded away. She staggered and grabbed someone's wrist.

She thought she had bumped into Su Minglang and hurriedly tried to let go, but the hand on the opposite side held her tightly and she could not move. It was not until the black fog in front of her completely dissipated that she could see clearly that the person in front of her was not Su Minglang, but Xiao Ye.

Before Xiao Ye entered the room, she saw Su Minglang standing at the door facing the house, saying something. When she approached to ask a question, before she could say anything, she saw Nan Xing stagger and was about to hit the leg of the table. She was quick to catch Nan Xing, and when she turned around, she saw Su Minglang's outstretched hands standing there in a daze.

She smiled apologetically at Su Minglang, and just when she was about to speak, she felt the person next to her wanted to let go of her hand, so she immediately shook it back. When Nan Xing recovered and saw that it was her, he was not only surprised, but also a little disappointed?

Xiao Ye was very confused!
