After hearing the Queen's words, the noble ladies fell silent and dared not speak nonsense.

The queen looked at the silent crowd with a slightly cold expression.

Shen Wenshu stood up solemnly and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am a humble servant, but I dare to recommend myself."

"Well done, you are worthy of being the daughter of Prime Minister Shen." The Queen's eyes were full of admiration.

"Empress, Roujia is also willing to be a guide." Liang Xinrou also stood up.

Two people led the way, and one after another noble ladies stood up and recommended themselves. Although they were just companions of the two princesses, they actually represented the face of Tianjin and it was a matter of honor for the family.

The smile in the queen's eyes grew wider, and she nodded slightly.

"In that case..."

"Wait!——" Hu Yanying interrupted the queen.

"Empress, since you are choosing a guide for the two of us, I think we should choose it ourselves."

Hu Yanying looked at the woman in red across from her, "Princess Cailuan, are you right?"

Su Yuejian followed her gaze and saw a woman with wavy black hair, a long red dress embroidered with gold thread that trailed on the ground, a red gem hanging from her forehead, and charming eyes with a charming demeanor.

Princess Cailuan put down the cake in her hand and smiled, "That makes sense."

Upon hearing this, the Queen paused, "I wonder who the two princesses want?"

Princess Cailuan glanced at the ladies present, looked at the queen sitting above her, and saluted with her chest, then spoke before Hu Yanying.

"My Queen, I want her."

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw Su Yuejian sitting upright with a teacup in hand and her eyes lowered. When she met Princess Cailuan's sparkling eyes, she was surprised for a moment.

Princess Cailuan looked at her and smiled brightly and freely.

"In our Xihe, beautiful girls are gifts from Changshengtian. Here, you are the most beautiful, so I choose you."

"no!--"

Hu Yanying looked at Princess Cailuan unhappily and said sternly, "You can't have her. She is the one I chose!"

Princess Cailuan was also furious. "Princess Huyan, I was the one who chose her first. Don't try to steal her from me!"

"Who said she is yours? The Queen didn't agree, so of course I can choose her."

Hu Yanying looked towards the Queen, her eyes full of arrogance and hostility, and her tone was even more arrogant.

"Your Majesty, I would like Princess Minghua to be my guide."

Princess Cailuan gritted her teeth in anger and said, "Your Majesty, I also want Princess Minghua."

"this..."

The Queen looked at the two people who were arguing with each other, then glanced at Su Yuejian who lowered her eyes and remained silent, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

Concubine Ru smiled and said, "As expected of Princess Minghua, wherever she goes, people are vying for her, both inside and outside the palace. She is truly the envy of others."

Hearing the sarcasm in Ru Fei's words, Su Yuejian sneered.

"Others?" Xiao Ningyao looked at Ru Fei coldly.

She didn't like Concubine Ru in the first place, and she couldn't stand her being sarcastic.

"Who is that other person? Is Concubine Ru referring to me? You have been by my father's side for many years, and I never thought you would have such strange thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Ru Fei's smile suddenly changed and her face turned dark.

"Don't talk nonsense."

The Queen Mother softly scolded Xiao Ningyao.

Xiao Ningyao curled her lips and glanced at Ru Fei, her displeasure evident in her eyes.

The Queen said gently, "Jing'an is talking nonsense. As the elder, you should not bother with her."

Ru Fei gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "What the Queen said is true."

But the hand hidden in the sleeve had already been clenched into a fist, with nails digging into the palm of the hand, and there was even more resentment in the eyes.

If Xiao Ningyao wasn't the only daughter of the emperor, how could Xiao Ningyao's mother, a mere noble, dare to be so presumptuous towards him!

It’s all thanks to the Queen!

Thinking of this, his hatred for the queen intensified, and the emotion in his eyes became even darker.

Several jealous noble ladies wanted to make fun of Su Yuejian, but they didn't expect Xiao Ningyao to stand up for Su Yuejian and even lose face for Concubine Ru. They didn't even dare to speak a word.

At this time, Hu Yanying and Princess Cailuan were at a stalemate and neither was willing to give in.

Concubine Li looked at the queen with a respectful and gentle smile.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, since the two princesses are arguing, why not let Princess Minghua serve as a guide for both of them?"

The Queen frowned, and Concubine Li looked at Su Yue and smiled.

"Princess Minghua is unparalleled in talent and beauty. As the saying goes, those who are capable will do more work. I believe she will satisfy the two princesses."

Su Yuejian raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Li.

She had never met Concubine Li before, but she could hear that she was secretly dissatisfied with her.

Concubine Li turned her gaze towards the two people in the garden. "What do you two princesses think?"

Hu Yanying curled her lips and smiled, "This princess has no objection."

Princess Cailuan nodded and said, "Of course."

The queen looked at Su Yuejian, and Su Yuejian stood up and bowed his head respectfully.

"I will definitely live up to your trust."

The Queen nodded slightly. "In that case, I'll leave the arrangements for the two princesses during their stay in Kyoto to you."

"Yes."

Hu Yanying looked at Su Yuejian, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, and she picked up the cup and drank the wine in it.

Liang Xinrou saw Hu Yanying's eyes that looked like she wanted to eat someone, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

She had heard about Hu Yanying's obsession with Xiao Heng. Moreover, Hu Yanying was not like the noble ladies in Kyoto. She was a wild person who would kill people with a knife.

She specifically asked Su Yuejian to accompany her, which was obviously to torture Su Yuejian under her nose.

She was still thinking about how to deal with Su Yuejian, but she didn't expect that she would run into the knife edge herself.

Su Yuejian was sipping her tea calmly. She looked up inadvertently and met Shen Wenshu's concerned eyes. She smiled and nodded slightly at her.

Seeing that she understood what was going on, Shen Wenshu felt relieved and raised her glass to her in response with a smile.

After the banquet, Su Yuejian accompanied the two princesses out of the palace.

on carriage

Hu Yanying stared at her, her eyes still cold.

Princess Cailuan turned sideways and lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, looking curiously at the bustling street, her charming eyes full of enthusiasm.

Su Yuejian looked at the two completely different faces, one cold and one warm, and smiled distantly.

"Princess, are there any places you're interested in? We can go explore them today."

"Have!"

Hearing this, the two said in unison.

Su Yuejian was slightly stunned, and Huyan Ying and Princess Cailuan were also stunned. Princess Cailuan looked at Su Yuejian with curved eyebrows.

"Princess Minghua, Cailuan came for the moon."

Su Yuejian was stunned. "The moon?"

Seeing her puzzled expression, Cai Luan propped up her chin and thought for a moment, "In the language you use here, it sounds like something like 'son-in-law' or 'husband'."

Su Yuejian suddenly realized, "The princess came for your future husband."

"Yes, yes, yes! It's my husband!" Cai Luan's bright smile was like fire.

Hu Yanying sneered at Princess Cailuan's confused look.

"Princess Minghua, I am here for my husband as well."

"But..." Hu Yanying paused, looking at Su Yuejian with a provocative smile, "But this princess is here for your husband."

Su Yuejian smiled calmly.

"I've heard that you're here for a marriage, but right now we're going to a place that interests you two, not to choose a husband."

Seeing that she didn't care about her provocation at all, Hu Yanying didn't know whether she was sincere or pretending, and she became even more angry.

Cailuan tilted her head, "The place I'm interested in is where my moon is."

Su Yuejian ignored Hu Yanying's angry glare and looked at Cailuan in confusion, "Princess, is there someone you like?"

Cailuan smiled and nodded, then leaned outside and looked out, her eyes lighting up.

"Right here! My moon is here!!"
