The guard nanny took it and hid it in her sleeve and said, "You've come at the right time. Please try to persuade Her Royal Highness the Princess. She has been howling non-stop since she came in. It's almost deafening us!"

The maid quickly walked into the dark room and saw Wueryun huddled in the corner with a pale face.

She called out in a low voice: "Your Highness, I am here to see you!"

Wu Eryun's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed in front of her and said, "Cui'er, did my aunt let me out?"

Cui Er handed her a piece of dessert and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Saint Lady can't let you out today. I just heard that she's going to host a banquet for the Marquis' wife!"

Wu Eryun froze. "What? Why would my aunt do this?"

Cui Er shook her head: "I don't know either, I heard it from Madam Liu herself!"

Wu Eryun's face was ferocious with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "My aunt is really crazy. She's just a bitch, is she worthy of her attention? She even specially invited me to a banquet. Is she confused?"

Cui Er quickly reached out and covered her mouth: "Your Highness, please keep your voice down! You can't let the gatekeeper hear you scolding the Saint!"

Wu Eryun pushed her away irritably: "Those running dogs, what should I be afraid of them doing?"

She turned around a few times and said, "No, she's the one who forced me to lock myself in the dark room. Now that Lin Yiwan is coming, I have to give her a good beating!"

Cui Er looked at her worriedly: "Princess, what are you going to do?"

Wueryun whispered a few words into her ear and she nodded without hesitation.

It was not until Cui'er left that a vicious look flashed in Wueryun's eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Yiwan, this princess will make you suffer so much that you wish you were dead!"

Cui Er returned to Wueryun's courtyard and found a cold-faced guard in black. She said, "Her Highness the Princess wants a poison that can instantly disfigure a person!"

The guard nodded, reached into his sleeve and pulled out a porcelain bottle, saying, "This is called Butterfly Dew. If you drink it, you'll get sick in about half an hour!"

Cui Er asked curiously, "What does that face look like when it's sick?"

The maid replied, "Black spots similar to butterflies have appeared on his face, and he looks like a ghost!"

Cui'er was so frightened that she shuddered all over and quickly turned around and ran away with the porcelain bottle.

When she walked into the small kitchen, she saw many maids and nannies busying around.

She smiled and went to the kitchen steward: "Su Bo, Her Royal Highness the Princess is being punished, and I have nothing else to do, so I just came here to help you with the work!"

Su Bo's face was filled with surprise. He quickly refused: "That's impossible. Miss Cui'er is of noble status. How can she do the dirty work in the kitchen?"

Cui Er rolled up her sleeves and said, "If others can do it, why can't I? Can I wash the vegetables?"

Seeing that she was busy, Su Bo felt embarrassed to send her away.

By this time, Min Ao and Nanny Liu had returned to the Glazed Palace. He frowned and asked, "Why did the Marquis' wife refuse the Saint's invitation?"

Lin Yiwan said without hesitation, "I'm not refusing intentionally, but I feel it's unnecessary. My best friend and I have already received compensation from your country for what happened yesterday, so it would be inappropriate for us to attend the banquet again!"

Min Ao laughed: "Madam Hou, don't worry. I have already reported it to the emperor. He said that you should accompany the saint girl well to show your hospitality!"

Lin Yiwan frowned. Oh my god, if it was the emperor's order, then it would be difficult for her to refuse.

She had no choice but to agree: "Okay, since this is my first visit to your country's Saint, I will definitely prepare some gifts. Minister Min, please go back first. I will attend the banquet on time!"

Min Xiang nodded, stood up and left quickly.

Lin Yiwan turned around and threw the emperor's gold medal to Zi'er: "Go to the emperor's private storehouse to pick something. Since he asked me to go, he must prepare a gift for the meeting!"

Zi'er left with the gold medal, and Lin Yiwan fell into deep thought.

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the saint?

Why do you have to see her?

Suddenly, a bold idea popped into her head.

She couldn't be!

After a moment, she shook her head again: "Impossible, it can't be such a coincidence!"

Just at this moment, Zi'er also came back, holding a very exquisite brocade box in her hand.

Lin Yiwan subconsciously asked, "Why did you come back so quickly? What gift did you get?"

Zi'er replied, "When I went there, the steward of the Imperial Household Department had already prepared gifts. The Saint was worshipping Buddha, so the Emperor gave her a white jade Buddha!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but complain inwardly that the emperor was really good at handling things and even knew the saint's preferences clearly.

The Glazed Palace is not far from Tingyuxuan, it is right next to the imperial palace.

Lin Yiwan didn't like riding in a sedan chair, so she just walked over.

When she arrived at Tingyuxuan, Matron Liu was already waiting there with a number of maids.

She bowed respectfully: "Your servant greets the Marquis' wife!"

Lin Yiwan returned the greeting: "You're welcome, Madam!"

Nanny Liu took her through the corridor and saw a graceful and elegant woman sitting in a pavilion not far away.

She has a very beautiful figure, and even when she sits gracefully, she gives people a feeling of being weak and graceful.

The closer she got, the lighter her steps subconsciously became.

Because she was afraid of disturbing her!

However, she eventually heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

She turned around suddenly, and her warm eyes fell on Lin Yiwan: "The Marquis's wife is here?"

Lin Yiwan saluted awkwardly, "Greetings, Saint. Please excuse me for keeping you waiting!"

The Saint stood up without hesitation. She walked lightly to Lin Yiwan, reached out and held her arm, saying, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. I'm already very happy that you can come!"

A strange look flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. This was her first meeting with the Saint, so where did she get such a warm feeling?

The saint felt her discomfort and quickly let go without leaving a trace.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "I've ordered someone to prepare some specialties from our Li Country for you. Please take a seat!"

Lin Yiwan sat down gracefully, with a panoramic view of the extremely sumptuous meal.

Nanny Liu took the lead in introducing: "Madam, this banquet is called the Flower Banquet. Because we Saints are vegetarians all year round, we have chosen flowers as the main ingredient. Do you mind?"

Lin Yiwan quickly said, "Of course I don't mind. The guest should follow the host's wishes!"

Aunt Liu pointed to a dish and said, "This is called Celery and Lily!"

Lin Yiwan nodded. The interplay of green and white was quite pleasing to the eye.

Then she added, "This is called glutinous rice with sweet osmanthus and lotus root, and there's also vegetarian crab roe and asparagus!"

Lin Yiwan quickly said, "Thank you, Madam. I can ask while I eat!"

With such a large table full of food, it would probably take her half an hour to finish naming the dishes.

The Saint laughed: "Madame Liu, quickly pour wine for the Marquis's wife!"

She took the lead and raised the cup in front of her, saying, "This first cup is an apology wine. Yun'er has been spoiled by her father since she was a child, and her behavior is a bit erratic, so she said something rude and angered the Marquis. Please don't bother with her!"
