Shangguan Qing packed up and had a brief conversation with Murong Bai under Si's gaze.

After saying that, Murong Bai was pulled to the front to go through the motions, which also proved his importance to Shangguan Qing!

No matter who it is, they have to come and take a look for the sake of the Regent. Shangguan Yue also mingles with the crowd, acting as an elder. However, with Yu Yi there, everyone revolves around Yu Yi. After all, a family of scholars and a literary master is bound to be respected.

Shangguan Qing knew that the general's residence was holding a banquet today. Although it was not convenient for her to go out, she could not enter the space at will, otherwise someone would find her for something. After drinking, she was about to get married, so Shangguan Qing just stayed there bored, eating a few melon seeds from time to time.

However, Shangguan Qing was no longer bored soon. Zhixia told Shangguan Qing that Li Baoer came to put on makeup for her.

Shangguan Qing was very happy. After all, Li Baoer was his first friend in this world. He didn't expect her to be so thoughtful!

What surprised Shangguan Qing was that Li Baoer also brought a friend, who looked both dignified and generous, yet gentle and tender.

Shangguan Qing couldn't help but stare in amazement and asked, "Bao'er, where is this beautiful lady from? Why didn't you bring her here to meet me earlier?"

Li Baoer looked very proud. "Haha, this is Prime Minister Liu's granddaughter, the eldest prince's cousin Liu Lian'er. She rarely comes out, so I've rarely seen her. But she's a very nice person."

Shangguan Qing was very curious. It was rumored that Liu Lian'er and the eldest prince were childhood sweethearts, but why hadn't the eldest prince gotten married yet when he was already of marriageable age?

But this is not something I am curious about. If he can be friends with Li Baoer, he must be a good person. What's more, he has never bullied the original owner.

The most important thing is that since they came to do his makeup, he had to treat them well. Shangguan Qing took out snacks from the space for everyone to eat.

Unexpectedly, Li Baoer is also a foodie, "Qing'er, what are these things? They are so delicious."

Shangguan Qing quickly explained, "This is called potato chips, made from potatoes. That one is Liuliumei, which is a bit more complicated to make. And this one is called Guoba. The others are some dried fruits. If you like, take some with you when you leave."

Li Baoer nodded repeatedly, her eyes narrowed into slits of smile: "Okay, okay, this is delicious, I won't be polite then."

As she spoke, she picked up the dried fruit and put it in her mouth.

Shangguan Qing looked at Li Baoer reproachfully: "If you are polite to me, I will no longer recognize you as my friend."

There was a hint of a smile on her lips, but her eyes revealed sincerity, which made people feel comfortable.

Liu Lian'er, who was sitting next to them, watched the interaction between the two with envy in her eyes.

Shangguan Qing naturally noticed it. She turned around enthusiastically and invited, "Miss Liu, you're welcome. Try them all. Whichever one you like, take some with you when you leave."

Liu Lian'er felt a little embarrassed and said softly, "How can I feel embarrassed about this?"

A blush appeared on her face as she spoke, making her look particularly shy and charming. Shangguan Qing couldn't help but wonder who could marry such a beauty.

Li Baoer's mouth was full, and she said incoherently: "Lian'er, you are just too polite. We are all friends. You are such a good person, Qing'er will definitely like you."

When Shangguan Qing heard these words, he felt a surge of joy in his heart.

She had some doubts at first, but now she is 90% convinced.

She smiled and said, "Yes, from now on I will call you Lian'er and you can call me Qing'er!"

Her smile is as kind as the spring sunshine.

Liu Lian'er stood up excitedly, took an exquisite box from the maid, and held it carefully in her hands.

She walked up to Shangguan Qing and handed her the box: "Qing'er, then I won't be polite. This is for you to add to your makeup. Do you like it?"

Seeing this, Shangguan Qing hurriedly stood up and carefully opened the box.

What caught my eye was a white jade hairpin that was crystal clear and as smooth as jade. I could tell at a glance that it was of great value.

Shangguan Qing thought to himself: I am not very familiar with Liu Lian'er, so it is really inappropriate to accept such a valuable gift. I quickly waved my hand and said, "No, no, this gift is too expensive. I really don't deserve it."

Liu Lian'er didn't take it seriously. She stuffed the box directly into Shangguan Qing's hands and said coquettishly, "Qing'er, you just kept saying that you treated me as a friend, why are you so polite now?"

Shangguan Qing suddenly looked embarrassed and had to accept the generous gift first, and thought about finding an opportunity to give the same gift in return to show his gratitude.

At this time, Li Baoer was not to be outdone. She quickly took out the makeup she had prepared - a piece of flawless white mutton-fat warm jade, handed it to Shangguan Qing, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, this beautiful jade is a reward from my father. Now I give it to you!"

Shangguan Qing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, as he absolutely could not fall behind others.

So she asked Zhixia to take out a bunch of things that girls liked, the most eye-catching of which were those exquisite lipsticks.

As expected, when Liu Lian'er and Li Bao'er saw the lipstick, their eyes lit up and they praised in unison: "Wow, what a beautiful color!"

Shangguan Qing didn't feel reluctant at all. After all, there was plenty of space, so he could just pack up and take away all the colors they liked.

If you ask why Shangguan Qing didn't think about making money with these, Shangguan Qing would just say that he couldn't even spend all his money, so why bother with that.

The sisters had a great time talking to each other, but time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was time to say goodbye.

The two stood up and said goodbye, and agreed to come to Shangguan Qing to pick her up early the next morning. Shangguan Qing happily said that he was welcome to do so at any time.

However, when they just stood up, Si suddenly came in with Yu Jin, saying that they wanted to discuss tomorrow's dowry.

Liu Lian'er's gaze inadvertently swept over Yu Jin, and tears appeared in her eyes, her eyes full of reluctance.

When Yu Jin saw Liu Lian'er, he was surprised at first, then delighted, but finally became lonely.

Shangguan Qing immediately realized that the relationship between the two people was not simple at all. They must have an unknown story, and they looked like a pair of mandarin ducks that were forcibly separated.

Shangguan Qing felt curious and excited, and she decided to find out the reason.

So, she hurriedly called out to the two who were about to leave: "Bao'er, Lian'er, don't leave so quickly! Stay and listen to my cousin's plans for tomorrow's wedding. Maybe you can learn some experience from him."

Mrs. Si quickly interrupted, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid! But if the two young ladies are interested in this, you can stay and listen."

Li Baoer was so carefree that she didn't even notice the eye contact. "Okay, okay."
