Both worlds are like dreams

About an hour later, the driver woke her up.

Xue Huang adjusted her clothes and hair accessories, then got off the carriage.

A maid was already waiting at the palace gate. When she saw Xue Huang coming down, she came over to greet her, "Greetings to Princess Changle."

"Aren't you with Xingyue?"

"To answer the princess, it was Princess Xingyue who asked me to wait for you here. The princess asks you to go to her bedroom first when you arrive."

"Let's go then." Xue Huang said with a smile.

The maid bowed and made a 'please' gesture, "Please get in the sedan chair, I will take you there."

Xue Huang nodded, got into the sedan chair, and let them carry her to Mo Xingyue's bedroom - Yuehua Palace.

When Mo Xingyue saw her, she smiled and said, "You are well dressed. I was thinking about whether I should buy you some more things."

"What else is there to add? This is already troublesome enough." Xue Huang slumped down in the chair. "Your second brother's mother is really something. Why is she holding a banquet? Has she always been like this before?"

"That's not the case," Mo Xingyue handed her tea, "The last time she held such a grand banquet was to select a concubine for my second brother."

"Isn't your second brother engaged to that Ye Xun? They're getting married next month."

"Until you get married, nothing is certain."

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "Are your royal family's marriages also so hasty?"

"I have a bad feeling." Mo Xingyue stared at her meaningfully.

"Go away." Xue Huang rolled her eyes.

"Kang Minmin and Du Mengyao will also be here today. Please don't be polite when we meet later. I've heard about it. They must have spread the rumor."

"That's them." Xue Huang crushed the nut in her hand. "Enemies often cross paths. Wait and see how I deal with them. I'll help you vent your anger at the same time."

"No problem!" Mo Xingyue liked Xue Huang's reckless personality. That was the kind of carefreeness she had longed for. She immediately took out the treasures in her box and said, "Come on, take whatever you want."

Xue Huang was touched and hugged her and acted like a spoiled child, "My Princess Xingyue, why are you so kind to me?"

"Oh my," Mo Xingyue said with disgust, "Your tricks won't work on me. Go find your brother Qinglan and use them."

"I want to hug him, but he's shy and I'm afraid of scaring him."

Mo Xingyue seemed to have discovered a new world, eyes full of surprise, "No wonder Brother Lan doesn't like women, it turns out he is shy? What does he look like when he is shy?"

"Blushing and at a loss." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Just hug him a few more times."

"Will this make him think that I am a little too ignorant of etiquette?"

"Have you ever hugged other men like this?"

Xue Huang shook her head.

"You are so stupid!" Mo Xingyue rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, it's almost time. Let's go to Concubine Rong's bedroom for the banquet." After saying that, she pulled Xue Huang out of the bedroom.

The place where Concubine Rong held the banquet today was her Yuxiu Palace, which was full of fragrant grass and was full of beautiful scenery.

As the most beloved princess of Emperor Ling, Mo Xingyue has always been highly regarded and fawned upon by the imperial concubines in the palace. So when Concubine Rong heard that she and Xue Huang had arrived, she came to greet them in person.

This Concubine Rong is already 40 years old, but she has maintained herself well, with no wrinkles around her eyes. She is also dignified, graceful and elegant, with a mature charm.

Xue Huang followed Mo Xingyue in bowing, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"No need to be so polite, princesses." Concubine Rong said softly.

Xue Huang took a quick glance behind her. She was familiar with all the daughters of wealthy families. The unfamiliar faces were probably Mo Xingyue's sisters.

Concubine Rong looked Xue Huang up and down. She was dressed in green and looked elegant and graceful, like an elf in a clear water pond. She smiled and said, "Is this Princess Changle? She is indeed a beauty that can topple a country."

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Come in and sit down. The banquet will start in a while. You and Xingyue can sit down and have some tea and eat some fruit." Concubine Rong said with a smile.

Xue Huang nodded and walked to the arranged position with Mo Xingyue.

This banquet of Concubine Rong was held in the courtyard of Yuxiu Palace. Because the weather was hot, many curtains were set up to block the sun, and ice cubes were placed inside to cool off. Exquisite snacks and fashionable fruits were already placed on the table.

As soon as they came in, the princesses and daughters of noble families stood up and bowed to greet them.

Xue Huang sat down with Mo Xingyue, not wanting to chat with those people, but when she looked up, she found that many people were looking at her, especially Kang Minmin, who kept her eyes on her.

She also looked at the other person, and when their eyes met, she saw Kang Minmin walking towards her with a smile, "Princess Changle, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon."

Xue Huang did not respond, but Mo Xingyue said: "It turned out to be Princess Minmin, what a coincidence."

"How dare Minmin not come to Concubine Rong's banquet?"
