The sky was dark and the smell of barbecue wafted from outside.

Ye Youlan nudged the drowsy Seventh Prince beside her and said, "Get up and have some barbecue."

The Seventh Prince said drowsily, "I'll sleep a little longer."

Ye Youlan ignored him, stood up, straightened her clothes and hair, and went out.

There was a bonfire in the open space outside with barbecue on it. The aroma of the barbecue became stronger as I got closer.

Ye Youlan saw that all her good sisters had come out and were sitting there talking. She sat down and asked everyone if they were happy.

Chen Xiaoling asked her why she had only just come out. Where was the prince?

Ruoyun smiled and whispered, "The prince must be exhausted."

Xiaoling was puzzled: "Why are you so tired? Are you exhausted after hunting a pheasant and two rabbits?"

Miaoyu glared at her, and she finally understood. She smiled awkwardly, "Youlan, you don't have to be so anxious to prove to us that your prince is in good health."

Li Chuang brought over the barbecue and saw several women staring at him. He was confused and dropped the barbecue and walked away quickly.

The sisters burst into laughter, and Ruoyun scolded them for being frivolous.

"Youlan, you're going to lead Miaoyu and Xiaoling astray."

A few people ate some barbecue and drank some tea, and soon they were full.

Ye Youlan winked at Ruoyun, who understood immediately. She stood up and called Li Chuang, saying that she had eaten too much and wanted to take a walk.

Ye Youlan asked to see if the prince had gotten up.

Chen Xiaoling called Chen Su: "I think I lost a pendant during the day. Can you accompany me to look for it nearby?"

Finally, only Zhang Liang and Miaoyu were left. Zhang Liang came over and sat next to Miaoyu, feeling embarrassed. "Do you want to take a walk around here too?"

Li Miaoyu looked around and always felt that someone was watching them, so she decided to go for a walk.

The two walked side by side, with a distance of one person between them, and Miaoyu felt a little lost.

"Chen Su said that she would go to Xiaoling's house to propose marriage after she returned." Miaoyu said. She wanted to test Zhang Liang's thoughts.

Zhang Liang was a little surprised, but his voice was filled with joy: "Chen Su likes Chen Xiaoling? I didn't even notice."

Miaoyu wanted to laugh. She really didn't know if Zhang Liang was slow-witted or just short-sighted: "They're so obvious, how could you not see it?"

"I thought he liked you." Zhang Liang felt noticeably relieved. "Chen Su mentioned you several times when we chatted. I was always worried about having another competitor."

"He wants to ask about Xiaoling. I don't know how you understand it."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Then I can go back and propose marriage."

Miaoyu's heartbeat quickened. She stopped and looked at Zhang Liang, who was handsome and heroic. "Do you like me?"

"Of course I like you, I've been so obvious about it, I thought you knew!"

Zhang Liang felt a little disappointed that his sincerity was not seen.

Miaoyu mustered up the courage to look at Zhang Liang and said, "Look into my eyes and answer me. Do you really like me?"

Zhang Liang touched his forehead and said, "I like it. I like it very much."

"No more?"

"there is nothing?"

"Don't you want to hold my hand and kiss me?" Miaoyu's voice trembled a little.

Zhang Liang blushed when he heard Miaoyu say this: "Isn't this something you can only do after you get married?"

Miaoyu burst out laughing, and a stone fell from her heart.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

"No, it's pretty good."

"Then I'll go and propose marriage when I get back, okay?"

"it is good."

Ye Youlan brought the barbecue into the house. The barbecue swayed in front of the Seventh Prince's nose. The Seventh Prince finally woke up: "Ye Youlan, you are almost tormenting me to death."

"Your Highness, you're so good at taking advantage of others that you're still trying to turn the tables. If you hadn't left just now, everyone would have guessed what you'd done."

The Seventh Prince sat up suddenly and opened his mouth: "Feed me."

"Okay, after eating barbecue, accompany me to watch the moon."

After returning from hunting, Chen Xiaoling waited at home for Chen Su to send someone to propose marriage.

Chen Su was very clever. He went to see Prime Minister Ye and first asked Minister Chen about his attitude towards him. The Prime Minister was happy to act as a matchmaker, so during his lunch break, he went to see Minister Chen and they chatted for a while.

Minister Chen was very surprised. When he learned that Chen Su wanted to marry his daughter, he was stunned for a moment and said that he would go back and ask his daughter's attitude.

"You also know that Xiaoling and Youlan are both very opinionated."

"Then hurry up and ask, the young man is still waiting for my reply!"

"What do you mean? If I object, he won't mention it anymore? Coward."

Prime Minister Ye smiled and said, "It seems you have a good impression of that kid Chen Su."

Minister Chen smiled and said, "That boy is a good painter. He has some basic skills."

"That's perfect. You and your father-in-law have a common topic."

Minister Chen was puzzled: "How come Chen Su, that boy, works in the Ministry of Works, doesn't he like Miaoyu from Old Man Li's family?"

Prime Minister Ye laughed heartily: "Old man Li is a stubborn person. I guess he must have been in a lot of trouble. Besides, marriage is a matter of fate. It cannot be stopped if it comes."

"Like your Youlan and the Seventh Prince?"

Prime Minister Ye smiled and didn't deny it. The Seventh Prince had fallen in love with Youlan the first time he saw her three years ago, and after many twists and turns, the two of them finally ended up together.

"Xiaoling and Youlan have similar temperaments and personalities, but Xiaoling is far less intelligent than Youlan. Youlan knows how to judge the situation and fight for herself, but Xiaoling can't."

"Chen Su is steady and reliable, and she complements Xiaoling perfectly, one quiet and the other active."

Minister Chen pointed at the Prime Minister and said, "How much good has Chen Su done you? Why are you speaking up for him like this?"

"A big carp!"

When Minister Chen returned home in the evening, he saw his daughter standing in the yard looking around, and asked her what she was doing.

"Dad, you're back. I'll wait for you to have dinner together."

"Where's your mother?"

"He's been to the theatre and hasn't come back yet."

Chen Xiaoling took her father's arm and came to the dining room, serving him food attentively.

Minister Chen asked her with a smile why she was so well behaved today?

"Dad, when was I naughty?"

Minister Chen asked her where she had been yesterday and why she hadn't returned until midnight.

"I went to Qiupu Hunting Ground with Youlan, Ruoyun and Miaoyu."

"Youlan is the princess now, so be careful with your words."

"Dad, I know. Youlan said that we are sisters in private, and we just need to pretend to be sisters in public."

Chen Xiaoling was still waiting for Minister Chen to continue asking, but Minister Chen was so busy eating that he didn't say anything else.

Chen Xiaoling was a little disappointed.

After finishing his meal, Minister Chen saw that Chen Xiaoling hadn't touched her bowl and chopsticks. He smiled and asked her why she wasn't eating. Did she have a poor appetite?

"We ate too much barbecue last night."

Minister Chen stood up, walked two steps outside, and then came back and sat down.

"Xiaoling, do you know Chen Su, the junior minister in the Ministry of Works?"

Chen Xiaoling couldn't hide her surprise when she heard it, and nodded quickly: "Let's get to know each other."

Minister Chen understood everything as soon as he saw his daughter's expression. "That Chen Su asked Prime Minister Ye to ask about my attitude. I want to know what your attitude is."

Chen Xiaoling suppressed her excitement and said, "I'll listen to Dad."

"Then I disagree."

Chen Xiaoling felt as if she had been doused with a basin of cold water: "Why?"
