Pei Nanjia immediately responded happily: "Great! I haven't run a horse for a long time. I feel warm just thinking about it."

Li Qingluo: "I'm afraid I'll spoil your fun. I can't ride a horse."

Although she said this, there was not much embarrassment on her face.

After all, everyone knew where she came from and how different she was from the noble ladies in Jinling City.

Moreover, even among noble ladies, only a few can ride well.

Nan Ping was extremely excited: "Then I'll teach you, Sister Luo'er! I could ride a horse when I was three years old. I will definitely be a good teacher!"

Pei Nanjia also patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to us!"

Li Qingluo chuckled and agreed, "Okay, two masters. I'll trouble you with this matter."

Princess Nanping laughed out loud.

Someone shouted from the side: "Princess, can we participate in the horse race?"

"And we..."

"I want to go too, Princess."

It was originally a gathering of three people, but suddenly countless people wanted to join.

But when asked, almost no one knew how to ride a horse.

Princess Nanping pouted immediately: "I can't teach so many people. Forget it, you can come together again when you have the chance!"

"I can ride a horse! I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to let me join you? Your Highness can't be partial and only invite my sister."

Li Qingzhu walked out with a smile, surrounded by a group of noble ladies.

She used to be the bright moon among the noble ladies in Jinling City. Even after she disappeared for a few months, there were still people praising her when she came back.

Although rumors were rife about her, after she explained herself in a few words, most of her former friends were still willing to believe her.

So when she showed up today, although there was a lot of discussion at the scene, she also stole the limelight.

Li Qingzhu was dressed in pearls, and looked as gorgeous and charming as ever.

Her face was rosy and beautiful like the colorful clouds in the sun.

Many people followed suit.

"Miss Li."

"Miss, you're finally out. I heard you were sick a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?"

"What happened to that fire? How did you come back to life, young lady?"

"Yes, young lady, didn't your family hold a funeral for you?"

"Young lady, I heard you're not of the General's bloodline, but your bearing is unmatched by those born lowly. You were born to be a noble lady!"

In comparison, Li Qingluo's attire today was too elegant.

Although her beauty is getting better and better, and almost no one present can surpass her beauty, so what?

It's just plain water, how can it be as bright and beautiful as Li Qingzhu?

Li Qingzhu smiled and replied, "I'm so sorry to have caused everyone's worry. There was indeed a fire in our general's mansion, and I did become seriously ill. To avoid the calamity caused by the illness, my parents pretended to have me die."

"Now that I'm in better health, it's time for me to get out and about and see everyone again."

Que'er sneered: "She is really a born liar."

He could even make up such a lie, and although not a single word of it involved Li Qingluo, the implications of every word were really not something that could be imagined.

Li Qingya also asked quietly, "But how did she get here?"

Que'er also looked at Li Qingluo.

The girls had no intention of bringing Li Qingzhu with them, so Li Qingzhu must have come by herself!

Pei Nanjia came over and said, "That's Pan Li, Nanping's father's niece. Nanping calls her cousin. She was also Li Qingzhu's best friend in the past."

Therefore, it must be Pan Li who gave the post to Li Qingzhu.

This is not difficult to imagine.

Li Qingluo remembered this Pan Li. Last time at the Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion, this Pan Li was the one who took the lead in using words to sarcastically attack him.

Pei Nanjia said, "You have to be careful. When they get together, they love to bully and make fun of others."

Li Qingluo: "I'm not afraid of her."

She is barefoot, so is she afraid of the one wearing shoes?

It is Li Qingzhu who should be afraid of herself.

Li Qingluo stared at Li Qingzhu for a few more seconds, and Li Qingzhu really didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

Li Qingzhu was afraid that the incident of her wetting her pants would be made public by Li Qingluo.

Although he could argue that it was not true, he could not prevent the rumor from spreading.

Nan Ping heard this and snorted, "This is my home. How can they climb over my head?"

Princess Nanping is the beloved daughter of Princess Xiyue. In this princess's mansion, she is the one who has the final say.

She stood with her hands on her hips, pointed at Li Qingzhu and said, "You are Li Qingzhu? So what if you can ride a horse? Do you think I have to take a fancy to any girl who can ride a horse?"

"No matter what you say, I despise you anyway, and I won't take you with me!"

"Also, today is the winter banquet my mother is hosting for me. What are you guys trying to do by showing off here? Don't forget, this is my home!"

Although Nanping is a bit arrogant and unreasonable, she is also innocent and naive.

She was not very old, so when she said these words, apart from embarrassing Li Qingzhu and the others, everyone else thought she was cute.

Especially those noble ladies who usually disliked Li Qingzhu and others, they all covered their lips and laughed.

"Who would believe her lies? They are just deceiving themselves!"

"Pan Li's father is General Li's deputy general, so they are naturally of the same mind!"

"But I think the second young lady is pretty good too. Why does she have to hang out with that Li Qingzhu?"

"Although Li Qingzhu is not my biological daughter, she is still more favored..."

Princess Nanping's words, coupled with the fact that the noble ladies headed by her were all giggling and whispering, made Li Qingzhu and Pan Li and the others completely lose face.

No matter how dazzling it was when it first came in, it is now as embarrassing as it is now.

Everyone's face was filled with embarrassment, and Pan Li had to step out and say a few words: "Nanping, how can you say that? After all, everyone here today is a guest. How can you be so disrespectful to us? If this gets out, everyone will say that your aunt didn't teach you well. You're not embarrassing your aunt—"

Nanping rushed out like an arrow, holding a cup of tea and splashing it on Pan Li's face.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you say that my mother and I are wrong? Do you really think that you can discipline me just because I call you cousin?"

"How did my mother discipline me? Do you want me to invite her over and let her sort it out?"

Pan Li had tea splashed all over her face and she almost went crazy on the spot.

But when he heard that *** was going to be invited, he had to grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

"You, you are such a bully! Wuwuwuwu..."

Pan Li hid away and cried with her hands covering her face, while Nanping put his hands on his hips and didn't even bother to look at her.

"You just act out and act pitiful! It's boring. Sister Luo'er, Sister Nanjia, let's go!"

Nanping took Pei Nanjia and Li Qingluo's arms and left the reception room, chatting and laughing all the way until the three of them arrived at the lake.

"Your Highness, thank you for standing up for me just now, but now that you've offended them, how are you going to have fun in the future? Don't you always love to be lively?"

Nanping picked up a stone and threw it into the lake: "I've seen enough of the hustle and bustle of Jinling City. It's boring."

"Those ladies are so fake that I have no interest in interacting with them, let alone liking them. Now that I've behaved myself, my mother is overjoyed. She won't force me to go out and play with them."

"Sister Nanjia, Sister Luo'er, I like you two. Please take me out to play!"

Pei Nanjia covered her lips and smiled, "I'm not a very interesting person. I embroider, draw, and illustrate all day long. Do you like that?"

Nanping curled his lips.

"do not like."

"But I like Sister Luo'er. Sister Luo'er can shoot arrows!"

Pei Nanjia was very surprised when she heard this: "You really know how to shoot arrows? This is not a subject for a lady to learn."

"But since you were brought up by your great aunt, it's not surprising."

Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Nan Jia, can you tell me if you guys usually talk about my grandmother when you're at home?"
