Hu Zhenzhu heard the discussions of the people around her: "She was so scared that she quickly pushed Lu Jinnian away. She covered her face and ran to her parents, muttering from time to time: "It's over, it's over, I can't face anyone."

Lu Jinnian watched the little girl run away. His hand still held the lingering warmth of the girl. And the soft touch of her. Thinking about it, his mind began to wander. Lady Jing'an, watching her youngest son's blank stare, felt at ease knowing that her daughter-in-law had finally found a husband...

At the palace banquet, Long Linxiao watched the little girl glance at her uncle for a while, then at Qin Jiaojiao, and then at Jinnian.

Long Linxiao touched his face. Could it be that his charm had decreased? The little girl started to change her target again. That wouldn't do. Long Linxiao turned the little girl's face around and asked aggrievedly, "How can you not look at me! Why are you looking at that kid named Lu?"

Siyu turned around in confusion and asked, "Who am I looking at?"

Long Linxiao, "Looks like he's been deeply shocked. I don't care. You are not allowed to look at them anymore. You have to look at me."

Siyu was amused by his appearance. What are you thinking about? I am looking at Master Lu and Miss Hu.

Long Linxiao and Siyu turned their heads together... one moment he looked at Master Lu, the next moment he looked at the little girl from Minister Hu's family. Long Linxiao was a little confused, so he leaned close to Siyu's ear and asked, "I don't see anything either."

Siyu looked back at Long Linxiao and told him what had happened on the way here.

Princess Qingxuan, sitting across from them, watched their interaction with a rage. Grandfather had told her to pick someone she liked. She liked the Crown Prince, but Grandfather had said they were already engaged and forbade her from further consideration. But she simply liked him, so what could she do? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, her fury boiling.

At this time, a malicious voice came close to Qingxuan's ear: "Do you want revenge? Do you want to retaliate against them?"

Qingxuan turned around. The person who came was none other than the annoying Lu Zhuer. "Although Qingxuan is not a good person, he also knows that Lu Zhuer is not a good person. She looks so weak all day long, but her heart is very evil. I have seen her harm her own sister before."

She said to him, "You don't have to worry about my affairs. Besides, Princess Changning and I don't have any deep hatred. How can you talk about revenge?"

When Lu Zhuer heard what Princess Qingxuan said, she curled her lips and pretended to be sad and said, "I'm doing this for your own good." She said, "It seems that I was worrying too much. I thought that my sister and I had a grudge against Princess Changning, so I wanted to avenge ourselves with you. The prince is not hers alone. Why does she occupy him? We can do it too. She is just a peasant, why? We, the ladies of famous families and talented women in the capital who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, did not dare to think of monopolizing the prince, but she thought about it and did it. Isn't this a slap in the face of us noble ladies in the capital? It is also against ethical standards. I don't know where she has learned the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. We must correct her attitude. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the prince."

Qingxuan was almost persuaded by him, "but he still shook his head and said no, Grandpa said it is not allowed. Then he waved his hand and said, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me, don't come to me."

Seeing that Princess Qingxuan was indifferent, Lu Zhuer said angrily, "I've said so much good things, but she won't listen." She said, "You're such a loser. You deserve it. The prince doesn't like you." Humph, she turned around and left.

Princess Qingxuan clenched her fists in anger, "Lu Zhu'er, I'll see how you can make the prince fall in love with you. You always look so weak and effeminate, and any man who takes a fancy to you is either blind or irresponsible."

Siyu certainly noticed the strange looks coming from the opposite side, but he didn't care. "When the enemy comes, the general will stop him. When the water comes, the earth will cover it. These little tricks are nothing to him. Besides, her martial arts have improved a lot. No one who can hurt her has appeared yet! Not to mention it's just a little girl."

"Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived." Eunuch Su finished his song. Everyone stood up and knelt before the table, saluting, "Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Empress. Thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, and good luck to His Highness the Seventh Prince."

The Emperor said: "Alright, everyone, please stand up! Today is our annual New Year's Eve banquet. Don't be shy, enjoy the food and speak freely."

After hearing the emperor say that it was time to begin, the dancers entered the center of the arena one after another. At this time, Princess Lingxi quietly ran to Siyu's side, took her hand and shook it non-stop. "Sister Yu'er, you don't know, I have wanted to find you for a long time. But mother wouldn't let me, and insisted that I stay at home to embroider wedding dresses and learn housework. Look at my hands, they hurt so much, and they are all full of needle holes. Brother Jing said that I don't need to learn these things, because there will be maids and nannies in the future, and there will also be embroiderers? But mother insisted that I learn, and also said that my husband's underwear, shoes and socks must be made by myself in the future. No outsiders can do it. Speaking of this, Princess Lingxi pouted, sat down next to Siyu, and rubbed her head on Siyu's shoulder."

Long Linxiao looked at this little cousin and said, "If you don't want to learn, then don't learn. Why is Auntie so serious?"

Ling Xi: "Oh, brother, you still love me the most. Well, I'll ask my uncle to talk to mother later. Shouldn't I learn embroidery? My hands hurt so much."

Siyu saw this little princess-like young lady stretching out her white and tender hands, which were all covered with red spots, and she couldn't help but feel distressed. Okay, okay, don't feel wronged anymore. Eat something delicious and the pain will go away.

Lingxi leaned on Siyu's shoulder and said, "Sister Yu'er, you are the best."

The palace banquet ended in a joyous atmosphere, and no one was causing trouble. Lu Zhu'er wanted to instigate Princess Qingxuan to deal with Siyu, but Princess Qingxuan was not fooled.

Luzhuer had no choice but to put her plan on hold. After the palace banquet, Siyu and Princess Lingxi made an appointment to go shopping together and introduce new friends to her.

Lingxi and Yanan knew each other, so they asked curiously, who is it?

Siyu pouted at her. Then, Princess Lingxi turned around and followed the line of sight of Siyu's finger. "Oh, you mean Hu Zhenzhu? Of course I know her, but I haven't had much contact with her. Let's go shopping together someday."

Several young girls agreed to go shopping together after the shop opened on the eighth day of the first lunar month and then take their own carriages home.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. A few young girls, all dressed up beautifully, made their way to the bustling streets of Beijing. Seeing the bustling crowds, the girls were as excited as birds out of their cages. The sounds of hawkers, children playing, and vendors bargaining filled the air.

"Tanghulu, fresh, non-sticky Tanghulu. The Tanghulu from all the kindergartens is delicious and inexpensive. Madam, please buy one for your child. And this lady, please buy one too to try..."
