The space is full of supplies, and the little milk bag can't be used up.

Pingyang Hou stood up from his seat, walked to the center of the palace, clasped his hands together, and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My daughter was ignorant and offended Princess Ruixiang. I will discipline her when I return!"

"Speak to Princess Ruixiang!" The emperor glanced at Marquis Pingyang.

Marquis Pingyang understood what the emperor meant, and turned around and bowed in the direction of Li Youran.

"Dad, whatever you do, everyone has their own responsibilities. I'll do it!" Su Ningke stopped Pingyang Hou.

"I failed to discipline my daughter strictly, and she offended Princess Ruixiang. I would like to apologize to Princess Ruixiang's family here." Marquis Pingyang said humbly.

"Dad..." Su Ningke had never seen his father speak like this before. He was always majestic.

"This princess accepts the apology from Marquis Pingyang on behalf of my family." Li Youran also bowed to Marquis Pingyang.

A real man can bend and stretch, can take on responsibilities and let go of them. Marquis Pingyang is a man who understands the truth.

Su Ningke wanted to say something but was pulled back to his seat by Pingyang Hou.

Li Youran looked over and saw Su Tingyao looking over here. She looked at Li Youran with an apologetic look and nodded.

Li Youran responded with a faint smile.

Suning sat in his seat unconvinced, not daring to brag anymore.

The wives and daughters of officials who were dissatisfied around were all deflated and dared not say anything.

They now knew that just because Princess Ruixiang saved the Crown Prince's life, she was also the savior of the royal family.

Because of this commotion, the banquet was hastily dispersed.

The woman who had just played music in the hall was dancing happily not far from the imperial study.

The queen returned to her Yongfu Palace, and the prince followed her.

The emperor originally wanted to go to the imperial study to take care of some things, but because he was drunk, he vaguely saw a woman dancing under a tree.

Her mysterious figure and dancing posture are like a dancing butterfly, light and graceful; her soft face is like a blooming flower, delicate and beautiful, making people feel dazed when looking at her.

At this moment, Eunuch Qin beside him saw this scene. He wanted to step forward and teach the woman a lesson, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Come with me to take a look!" the emperor said in a low voice, and then walked ahead.

When they got closer, they saw that the woman had just finished dancing and then stopped.

When she saw the emperor, an expression of surprise appeared on her face and she quickly covered her mouth, showing the shyness of a little girl.

"My daughter greets His Majesty. Long live the emperor!" The woman bowed her head and saluted. The moonlight shone on her, forming a beautiful silhouette. The emperor saw it and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

"Get up! Why are you dancing here? Don't you know that you can't enter and leave the harem as you please?" The emperor asked indifferently, his eyes always fixed on the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and see through her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I came here specially to see you. I don't want any rewards, I just hope to dance for you..."

The woman slowly raised her head, her eyes full of charm, and then she took a few steps forward, getting closer to the emperor.

Eunuch Qin watched silently from the side and roughly understood the woman's intention.

Obviously, she was trying to seduce the emperor!

The emperor frowned and muttered to himself: Why do I feel a burning sensation in my heart when this woman approaches?

He couldn't help but feel a little curious about the woman in front of him.

"Bring her to my bedroom!" The emperor stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes revealing an indescribable expression. Then he shook his sleeves and strode towards the bedroom.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Qin understood the emperor's intention.

It seemed that the emperor intended to favor this woman. He quickly responded and followed the emperor's steps closely.

At the same time, the Queen and the Crown Prince were waiting in Yongfu Palace for the Emperor to come and celebrate the New Year, but as time passed, there was still no sign of the Emperor.

"Huaiyu, go and see if the emperor is still in the imperial study?" the queen ordered anxiously.

Huaiyu was ordered to leave Yongfu Palace and gather information everywhere.

After a while, when she returned to Yongfu Palace, her face looked a little unnatural.

"What happened?" The Queen became suspicious when she saw Huaiyu's expression.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is not in the Imperial Study, but has gone to his own bedroom.

Moreover, there was a woman who went to the bedroom with the emperor. It was said that the woman was dancing, and she was the woman who played the music in the hall. "Huaiyu reported the truth, revealing a little embarrassment in his words.

"Go and ask whose girl she is! How dare she enter and leave the harem as she pleases!" The queen suppressed her anger. She knew that there were many women in the harem and the emperor had not been interested in women recently.

It's a rare opportunity to meet a beautiful woman. If you want to favor her, you have to take her into your harem.

Huaiyu went out again and came back after a while.

"Reporting to the queen, that woman is Zhao Yongsu, the legitimate daughter of a third-rank secretary. Her mother was born in a brothel. Her previous legitimate mother died for some reason, and her mother became the first lady." Huaiyu narrated Zhao Yongsu's family affairs one by one.

"Your stepmother is a prostitute, why do you think she is so charming and beautiful to me?" The queen sneered, which was really sarcastic.

“Mother, you are the one who calls the shots in this deep palace. If the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat has any bad intentions towards you, I will never let her go!” Song Nanyao knew the intrigues in the harem.

"Yao'er, having you as my child is enough for me. I will have to stay in this harem for the rest of my life. When you grow up and find a woman you like, you must treat her wholeheartedly. When you grow up, there will be so many women in your harem..."

Looking at her handsome son, the queen couldn't help but think of the emperor's harem and six courtyards, and felt a little worried.

She hopes her son can become a loyal and affectionate man, but she is also worried that he will be seduced by power and desire in the future.

"Don't worry! I will only marry one person from now on!" Song Nanyao looked at the queen with firm eyes and assured her in a serious tone.

The queen nodded with relief, but her heart was still filled with worries: "I hope so, but royal affairs are often beyond our control.

When you grow up and ascend the throne, those ministers will certainly try their best to stuff their daughters into the harem for your wealth and glory. By then, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist."

The queen sighed lightly, her eyes deep and helpless.

She was well aware of the cruelty and complexity of court struggles. Although she had high hopes for her son, the reality forced her to face all kinds of possible difficulties.

On the other side, Li Youran and his family returned to the Princess' Mansion.

Zhou Bo had already prepared a sumptuous meal, because he knew that people in the palace might not be able to eat to their heart's content.

The family sat together, enjoying the delicious food, and laughter echoed in the princess's mansion.

After dinner, Li Youran mysteriously took out some fireworks and firecrackers from the space.

"What is this?" asked the eldest brother Li Heming curiously.

"This is fun stuff. Let me teach you how to play with it." Li Youran explained with a smile and personally demonstrated how to set off fireworks and firecrackers.

Looking at the colorful fireworks blooming in the sky, Li Youran's face was filled with joy.

Then, Li Heming was the first to try bravely and lit a string of firecrackers. The crackling sound immediately resounded throughout the princess's mansion.

"Haha, this is fun!" Li Heming shouted excitedly, and others also joined in, enjoying this rare happy moment.

In this era, people would carry beautiful lanterns and go to the riverside to release flower lanterns and Kongming lanterns on New Year’s Eve. There would also be miscellaneous performances and opera stages.

The fireworks exploded in the air, forming a huge and beautiful firework explosion. The colorful colors crossed the night. Everyone in the capital looked up to see the dazzling fireworks.

"What is that? It's so beautiful!"

"It seems to be in the direction of the Princess's Mansion!"

……

The people were talking about it, but they all stopped and looked up at the gorgeous fireworks.
