The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The other young ladies still surrounded Miss Wei and tried to curry her favor.

This is because this Miss Wei is the fourth daughter of Duke Wei’s Mansion, and her second sister is the current Empress Dowager.

"Miss Wei, is the Regent also here at the flower viewing banquet today?"

Miss Wei frowned. She had only heard from the maids in the princess's mansion that she had met the Regent. She was not sure whether he had come or not.

But at this moment she disliked Xu Keke and deliberately put her in a bad light.

"The Prince Regent is indeed here. I heard he came to ask for permission."

This sentence was indeed effective in making Xu Keke the public enemy of the noble ladies again.

A lady in a pink dress said with a pout.

"What's so good about this permission that it would make the Regent look at it differently?"

Another lady took over.

"Who knows? Maybe she's just using some seductive tricks."

Everyone was talking about it, and their words were full of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Xu Keke and Li Yueran sat in the pavilion, ignoring the gazes of the many young ladies.

Li Yueran frowned slightly and whispered softly in Xu Keke's ear.

"Miss Xu, I'm afraid today's incident will not end well."

Xu Keke took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, isn't it okay?"

Xu Keke thought about it before taking action, and deliberately told the other young ladies that Xu Yuanyuan had pushed her down the stairs.

Even if it doesn't have any practical effect, at least it can ruin the reputation of making wishes.

As the two were talking, the nanny beside Princess Jianning came over.

"Ms. Xu, Ms. Li, the princess invites you two over."

Xu Keke and Li Yueran looked at each other, stood up and followed the nanny to where the princess was.

When I stepped into the hall where the princess was, I saw Princess Jianning wearing gorgeous clothes, smiling, sitting on the chaise longue with a noble temperament.

Xu Keke and Li Yueran stepped forward respectfully and saluted.

"My daughter, Li Yueran, is willing to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"No need to be so polite, please take a seat!"

After Xu Keke and Li Yueran thanked the princess, they sat down carefully.

Princess Jianning looked at them with a smile on her face, and glanced at Xu Keke a few more times without leaving any trace.

"It's fate that you two can come to my princess's mansion today to attend the flower viewing banquet. I heard that Miss Li just returned to the capital. Is she getting used to it?"

Li Yueran stood up, bowed and responded.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. Everything is fine in the capital. It's just that I haven't been home for a long time, and I haven't fully adapted to the socializing of noble ladies yet."

Princess Jianning nodded slightly and turned her gaze to Xu Keke again.

"What about Miss Xu? Has anything interesting happened recently?"

Xu Keke bowed and replied:

"Princess, I've been practicing calligraphy and embroidery at home lately. It's been peaceful and quiet, but nothing particularly interesting has happened to me."

Princess Jianning chuckled and praised against her conscience.

"You two are both ladies of noble families, well-educated and well-mannered. The flowers in my garden are in full bloom. What do you think of them?"

Li Yueran said with a smile.

"The gardens at the Princess Residence are magnificent, with all kinds of flowers competing for beauty, which is refreshing and delightful."

Xu Keke also responded.

"Your Highness has exquisite taste. This garden is exquisitely laid out and the flowers are beautifully maintained. It is truly unique in the capital."

Princess Jianning nodded with seemingly satisfaction.

"It is an honor for this garden to receive the praise of the two young ladies. I have ordered a meal to be prepared. Let's dine together later!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality."

The two men bowed to Princess Jianning and took their leave.

After leaving the hall, the noble ladies who were enjoying the flowers and playing pot-tossing looked at the two of them even more displeased.

It was obvious that Xu Ke hit someone at the princess's flower-viewing banquet, but the princess not only did not punish her, she also summoned the two of them separately.

Now they came out talking and laughing, and then started whispering to each other again.

Xu Keke and Li Yueran were excluded by them, but they didn't care at all. They made an appointment to go boating on the lake.

With Li Yueran's maid and Dingdang helping to row the boat, the two of them were chatting and laughing and having a lot of fun.

Li Yueran suddenly asked with a smile.

"Miss Xu, Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't mention you beating that girl just now. Is it possible that Her Royal Highness the Princess hasn't heard the news yet?"

Xu Keke: "Maybe! But even if Her Royal Highness the Princess blames us, it won't implicate Miss Li."

Li Yueran shook her head indifferently.

"I'm not afraid of that, I just want to know if you were really pushed down from the third floor by that wish-making lady?"

"Yes! This is absolutely true. My maid can testify to it."

Xu Keke said as she pushed Dingdang.

Dingdang nodded quickly.

"Everything my young lady said was true, but we had no evidence at the time."

Li Yueran comforted Xu Keke again.

"Justice is in the hearts of the people. Today's incident will definitely be publicized. Miss Xu Yuanyuan will probably be too embarrassed to face people in the future."

By noon, the banquet hall was ready.

The concierge of the princess's residence invited the male and female guests to take their seats.

The banquet was held in a large reception room with an aisle in the middle separating the male and female guests.

Xu Keke and Li Yueran followed the other noble ladies and took their seats one by one. When they looked around, they did not see Xu Yuanyuan.

I guess he was slapped in the face by Xu Keke and was embarrassed to see people.

The maids who served the food moved around the table like a stream, carrying plates of food.

Soon, the table was filled with delicious food that was both beautiful and fragrant.

Princess Jianning sat at the main table with several other princesses who had just returned to the capital, as well as several ladies who had been granted imperial titles.

She raised her glass, not making a loud sound, but enough for most people to hear.

"I am very happy that you all can come to my princess's palace today. Please enjoy yourselves."

The guests raised their glasses in response to the princess and then began to enjoy the food.

During the banquet, there was singing and dancing, and the musicians played beautiful music.

The dancers performed court dances with their long sleeves and graceful singing.

The scene is beautiful without being noisy.

Xu Keke and Li Yueran enjoyed the performance while eating delicious food.

At the men's table, Shen Qingfeng was among them. He was in a good mood today and received unanimous praise when he recited poems with several other talented men.

As a result, after a while, he felt that the talented men and beautiful women around him looked at him in a strange way.

He asked his followers to inquire and found out that Xu Yuanyuan, his girlfriend who had just been engaged, had been beaten by Xu Keke.

He beat her, and that was it. Shen Qingfeng had no feelings for this wife who had not yet married him. He just made a hasty marriage to cover up the truth.

However, the news of his engagement with Xu Yuanyuan spread very quickly, and within a short period of time, everyone knew about it.

This speed seems like someone is fanning the flames.

Today his fiancée was beaten up, and as her fiancé, he was naturally ashamed sitting here.

That would have been fine, but there was also news that Xu Yuanyuan had a vicious heart and it was she who pushed Xu Keke down the stairs, causing her to bump into the Regent.

Shen Qingfeng suddenly felt hatred towards Xu Yuanyuan.

If it weren't for her push, the ending between him and Xu Keke would probably be different!

Thinking about how vicious Xu Yuanyuan was, if she married him in the future, would she really be able to tolerate the child he brought back from outside?

Should this marriage be concluded or not? Shen Qingfeng was wavering again.

Shen Qingfeng ate the delicious food without any appetite, his eyes searching for Xu Keke among the female guests.

I see, Xu Keke is wearing a moon-white narcissus dress today, she has fair skin, beautiful looks, and looks cute and lovely.

At this moment, she was talking to the woman next to her, smiling carefreely.

Xu Ke has really changed a lot. He doesn't seem stupid anymore, but he does some unexpected things.

And looking at her sweet face, talking and laughing, she is much more beautiful than in the dream.

Shen Qingfeng felt gloomy in his heart.

Since I can't get her, I might as well destroy her when I have the chance. It's better than letting her marry someone else.
