I traveled through time with my best friend.

Sunset is approaching.

The palace was filled with a busy atmosphere. The palace maids in each palace were busy coming in and out, and the masters were busy dressing themselves up, all hoping that they could outshine all the other beauties at night.

There were also many carriages and horses outside the palace, and many ministers' wives and relatives had already begun to enter the palace.

A carriage with a lantern with the word "jiang" on it slowly stopped outside the palace gate. Mu Feng pulled the reins, jumped off the carriage, and then slightly lifted the curtain, saying softly, "Miss, Sister Yiyi, we're here."

Jiang Xue got off the carriage first, and Lin Yiyi followed from behind.

As soon as her feet touched the ground and before she could adjust her dress, many people were looking at her. Lin Yiyi paused as she was about to adjust her hair accessories, and then looked to the side. Why were those people looking at her and Xue'er?

Jiang Xue, however, didn't care at all. She shook her light blue palace dress. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with sparse cherry blossom petals. She moved it so casually that it felt like the petals on the hem of her skirt were about to fall out.

The belt tied around the waist is of the same color, but it shines with a fine light, making her look noble and slim.

She wore a jade hairpin slanted on her head, decorated with thin silver beaded tassels, and her face was lightly made up, but her every frown and smile made her look dazzling and charming.

Jiang Xue tilted her head to look at Lin Yiyi and said softly, "Let's go."

Lin Yiyi put down her hand and nodded slightly: "Okay."

One was wearing a light blue palace dress, the other one was wearing a green dress. When the two of them walked together, they formed a beautiful sight on the palace road. Everyone couldn't help but look back frequently, as if they were curious about which family the girl was from to be so beautiful.

Lin Yiyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people. She gently pulled the corner of Jiang Xue's clothes and said softly, "Xue'er, how about...I should go back first?"

Jiang Xue turned around and looked at Lin Yiyi, saying, "You've been bored at home for so many days, you're almost getting hairy."

Lin Yiyi lowered her head slightly. Jiang Xue tightened the light yellow cape on Lin Yiyi and said softly, "You have to come out eventually."

Lin Yiyi nodded and looked at Jiang Xue.

Lin Yiyi was wearing a green dress today, a green pomegranate skirt, a green gauze dress on the outside, and a light yellow cape on the outside, which matched the skirt perfectly.

Her jet-black straight hair was tied up into a slightly complicated hairstyle with a blue and white ribbon. It reflected a faint glow under the moonlight. Just by raising her eyes slightly, she attracted the admiration of the people around her.

"Yiyi?" Lin Yanfu's voice sounded behind him.

Lin Yiyi and Jiang Xue turned around at the same time and saw Lin Yanfu, Zeng Qin and Lin Wanwan slowly walking towards them from behind.

When Zeng Qin looked at Lin Yiyi, there was surprise and annoyance in her eyes. Lin Wanwan was wearing a pink dress decorated with crabapple flowers. The moment she looked at Lin Yiyi, the expression of annoyance with Lin Yiyi was not hidden at all on her face.

Lin Yiyi knelt down gently in front of Lin Yanfu, "Father."

Lin Yanfu nodded slightly at Lin Yiyi. He had always loved his daughter. He had thought about it for a long time in the past few days. Although he felt that the Marquis' Mansion was indeed a good choice, he could not force his daughter if she did not like it.

If he continued to insist, her daughter would drift further and further away from him.

Lin Yanfu looked at Lin Yiyi with a distressed look on his face and said, "Yiyi, if you don't like that young marquis, after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, father will ask the emperor to issue an order to cancel your engagement."

After hearing this, Lin Yiyi clenched her hands slightly, with no expression on her face. Then she said, "Thank you, father."

Zeng Qin smiled and said, "Yiyi, even if you don't like the young marquis, you can't leave the mansion without permission. Your father has put a lot of effort into finding you."

Lin Yiyi looked at Zeng Qin with cold eyes and didn't want to say a word to her.

Lin Wanwan fanned the flames and said, "That's right, you are already so old, and you still do things that make your father anxious. Aren't you just causing trouble for your father?"

Jiang Xue said coldly, "How did Yiyi leave the Lin Mansion? Don't you really know?"

“You…” Lin Wanwan looked at Jiang Xue with disgust in her eyes and said, “Are you that Jiang Xue?”

"how?"

"It turns out that no one taught him since he was a child."

Without waiting for Jiang Xue to open her mouth to retort, Lin Yiyi slapped her in the face.

"Snapped!"

Zeng Qin was so frightened that she covered her mouth in disbelief, and Lin Yanfu's eyes also flashed with surprise.

After a moment, Lin Wanwan reacted and was about to slap Lin Yiyi in the face. Lin Yiyi put her hand up to block it, and she slapped her again.

"Snapped!"

Lin Yiyi used a little more force in the second palm strike, and Lin Wanwan fell to the ground with a ferocious expression on her face. She started crying in grievance.

Zeng Qin finally reacted and yelled at Lin Yiyi: "Lin Yiyi, what are you doing!"

"Humph, I think she is the one who has no one to teach her since she was a child."

After saying that, he bowed slightly to Lin Yanfu and said, "Father, I'm leaving first." Then he took Jiang Xue and turned around and left.

Jiang Xue followed behind Lin Yiyi and whispered, "I just had a way to deal with her."

Lin Yiyi said: "When I saw her arrogant and unruly look, I wanted to hit her and couldn't control myself."

Jiang Xue couldn't help laughing.

On the other side, Zeng Qin hid her tears and cried to Lin Yanfu: "Master, look at what she looks like now. She even dared to beat her own sister in public. Does she still respect you as her father?"

Lin Yanfu glanced at Lin Wanwan in annoyance, sighed deeply, and said, "You really have been fed a lot of bad manners since you were a child."

Then he turned his sleeves and walked forward.

Zeng Qin was stunned. Lin Wanwan looked at Zeng Qin in disbelief with tears in her eyes, "Mother, father... were you talking about me just now?"

Zeng Qin looked at Lin Wanwan, saw the slap marks on her daughter's face, and shook her head with a distressed look on her face, saying, "If your father doesn't seek justice for you, your mother will help you do so."

Lin Wanwan stamped her feet angrily and said, "Mother, didn't you say that you had dealt with Lin Yiyi and she wouldn't come back? Why is she back again?"

Zeng Qin also wanted to know, the person in charge clearly said that she had been sold into Yihonglou, so how could she run out?

"Mother!" Lin Wanwan said coquettishly, "The young marquis has returned and will come tonight. He will definitely see Lin Yiyi. What should I do? The young marquis can only be mine."

Zeng Qin comforted Lin Wanwan and said softly, "Don't worry, if the young marquis could like Lin Yiyi, he would have liked her before. Besides, so much time has passed, he would have forgotten about it. Mother is ready. We will make it a done deal for you two tonight."

Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this, "Really?"

"When did your mother lie to you?"

"As a daughter, I know that my mother treats me the best." Lin Wanwan said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go quickly and don't waste time."

"Yeah." Lin Wanwan nodded.

Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi arrived at the entrance of Qinghua Palace. Inside, there were sounds of laughter, pouring wine, and officials chatting, all gathered in groups of two or three.
