Long Linxiao bent down and stretched out his hand to stop King Yi, "Grandpa King Yi, get up quickly, get up quickly, everyone get up quickly. I just came to see my little Crown Princess today. Elders, please don't be so polite, otherwise!" Long Linxiao seemed to sigh and said, "Xiao Yu'er is going to deal with me and ignore me. I don't know how she will embarrass me? And the little girl will hold a grudge and settle the score with me later."

The elders wouldn't let me be beaten by a little girl, right? Yi Wang and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard Long Linxiao's words... Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha. The laughter spread far away...

Seeing that everyone was making fun of her, Siyu didn't feel shy. Instead, she puffed out her cheeks and said, "You, you still want to taste the wine I brewed? If you do this again, I will be angry and won't give you any more."

Seeing Siyu's shyness and thin-skinnedness, everyone stopped teasing them. They all changed the subject and asked why Long Linxiao had suddenly visited them.

It was at this time that Long Linxiao talked about the letter sent from the border, saying that his uncle was coming back.

Upon hearing this, Princess Yi couldn't help but beam. This is truly double happiness! My granddaughter is back, my youngest son is coming back soon, and he's found his true love. Soon, there will be another happy event in the Yi Palace. This is wonderful. Oh, by the way, Jun'er hasn't told me who her true love is yet? I'll prepare some girly things for them.

Siyu smiled slyly and said, "I won't tell you. I'm waiting to give grandma a surprise." The Yiwang Mansion was in a harmonious atmosphere.

The emperor heard that the prince had sneaked out to see the little girl again.

The old emperor was so angry that his beard was standing on end. This damned brat, I haven't even rested yet, and he sneaked away again. This really makes me angry. No, I have to go to the queen to complain and ask her to control this unfilial son of his...

Okay, the dishes are ready, let's serve! Siyu showed a mysterious smile, "Everyone, try it, what is this?" Everyone looked at the red liquid in the glass cup on the table and asked curiously, "What is this?" It looked so tempting. Siyu raised her head proudly and said, "Try it quickly."

Master Lao Naughty couldn't wait to pick it up and take a sip. Hmm, it's good, with a rich aroma, fullness and softness. It is indeed the best wine.

Siyu was delighted by everyone's recognition. "This is the wine I brewed. It's ready to drink now. Everyone, come and try it! This wine is great for women. It's good for beauty and can even help with sleep..."

Grandma said happily, "Really? There is such a good thing. I must taste it carefully." The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests...

After lunch, Long Linxiao took advantage of the adults' inattention and pulled the little girl aside. He hugged the little girl in his arms and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much."

Siyu lay quietly in Long Linxiao's arms, feeling his broad shoulders and chest, feeling particularly safe and secure. The two of them said nothing, just hugging each other quietly. Standing there, Siyu felt the feeling of being in love, sweet and warm. Not having to think or do anything, just standing there quietly, was also a kind of happiness...

In the blink of an eye, it was time to put down my writing, and the Spring Festival palace banquet arrived as scheduled.

Girl, hurry up and get ready. We are going to attend the palace banquet today. Don't be late. If you are late, you will be criticized.

Siyu nodded and said, "I understand, Grandma."

Siyu had been to palace banquets like this time and again. These ladies from aristocratic families and officials were all more cunning than the last, and they were also capable of many dirty deeds. I hoped that this palace banquet wouldn't go awry again, and that it wouldn't be like last time, when things kept going wrong...

Alas, Siyu sighed.

The family dressed neatly and rode in a carriage towards the palace. Arriving at the palace gate, after undergoing multiple rounds of screening, the Yiwang Mansion's carriage was allowed to enter the palace. They could also get off at the Zhengyang Gate outside the banquet hall.

The other ministers and young ladies could only get off their carriages outside the palace and enter on foot.

The young ladies from the imperial city were furious when they saw Siyu, a peasant princess, could actually ride in a carriage. Why? She could ride in a carriage, while we, the daughters of aristocratic families, had to walk in. It was so unfair.

There are those who are indignant, and there are those who speak for justice. A woman in red clothes sneered. "If you envy others for being able to ride in a carriage, why don't you also have the ability to grow high-yield crops! Contribute to the country, or if you also have a prince or grandfather who accompanied the late emperor to conquer the country, then you can do it too! Why are you being so jealous here?"

Hello, the other ladies said angrily; "Hu Zhenzhu, don't be so proud. You are not much better than us. You are just an old maid that no one wants. You must be jealous. You just like to pretend to be gentle, generous, and virtuous."

Hu Zhenzhu looked at the ladies who were swearing as if they were mentally retarded. She mouthed, "Don't argue with fools. Humph!" and turned away.

The young ladies of the official families pointed at Hu Zhenzhu who was walking away angrily. "The Shangshu's daughter is so amazing!" They turned around and looked at their parents. "Look at her, mother, father, look at her. She is still scolding us."

"Alright, alright! I told you before we entered the palace, don't cause trouble, don't cause trouble. You've all forgotten what happened at the palace banquet last time." The young ladies from the official families shuddered when they heard this, not daring to do it again. They quietly followed their parents toward the banquet hall.

Siyu and her family were the first to enter the banquet hall. Looking at the adults, ladies and young ladies who had arrived earlier than her, she suddenly felt that this scene was a bit like a large modern cocktail party. She saw the adults sitting together, building relationships, chatting about the future, how to achieve great things, and praising each other.

Siyu found it utterly boring, watching them wear these hypocritical masks, so incredibly hypocritical and boring. These people pretended to be sincere day after day, while doing things that were insincere. Isn't that boring at all?!

Siyu shook her head and sighed. They didn't seem tired of living, but just watching them made her tired...

The Emperor has arrived, Eunuch Su shouted,...

The Emperor said, "My dear ministers, please stand up! I'm closing my writings early this year. Every year, I close my writings on the 23rd of the lunar year. This year, I'm closing my writings early so that you can officially have a holiday. Have a New Year's Eve dinner tonight, then go home and celebrate the New Year. Next year, work hard for the people, seek their welfare, and work for peace and prosperity for all the people of the world!"

All the ministers and wives of officials stood up and knelt, raising their glasses to wish the emperor long live, long live, long live the emperor. May the emperor be in good health and live a long life, enjoy eternal peace and create prosperity again.

The emperor listened to the compliments from the gentlemen and smiled happily. He waved his hand and asked them to sit down. "Sit down..."

Without those disgusting people causing trouble, the palace banquet was no longer so boring. Music and singing filled the air, and the young ladies from the imperial families competed with each other in their beauty, a hundred flowers blooming in full bloom. The wonderful banquet lasted until midnight...
