Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Shen Li lowered her head and had just taken a few steps when someone greeted Fang Yao again.

"The general is well, and the third prince is well."

"Okay, Master Cui is well."

"Master Cui is well."

After a few people exchanged greetings, Lord Cui joined the team and continued walking towards the palace.

Shen Li only felt a faint fragrance coming from beside her. She glanced sideways at her feet and saw a girl in the same plain dress approaching.

"Hello sister, my name is Cui Laner, and I came here with my father." A pleasant voice sounded in my ears.

Shen Li raised her eyes and saw a girl with a round face, big eyes and thick eyebrows. She looked at her with a smile, and was very cute.

This is a girl who makes people feel happy at first sight.

Shen Li also smiled at her: "Hello, my name is Shen Li."

"I know," the girl said, her face slightly red, her eyes sparkling, and she was actually a little shy. "I heard from my father that you would come too, and he asked me to come to the palace to play with you."

"Oh?" Shen Li looked at her puzzledly.

She and this girl, oh yes, it’s Cui Laner. She and Cui Laner don’t know each other, so how could they be so close and why would they deliberately look for each other to play together?

Cui Lan'er looked at her happily, "Sister, my mother said when she was alive that she knew your mother. Your mother was a good person, not the kind of person that others say she is."

Having said that, she seemed to remember something and looked at Shen Li timidly.

Seeing that Shen Li was not unhappy, he continued with confidence, "My father's life was saved by the general. When my father heard that the general was my sister's uncle, he told me to go to the palace tonight and let me accompany my sister. No one else plays with my sister, but I will."

Her eyes were clear when she spoke, without any affectation.

This is a child with a pure heart, and Shen Li likes her very much.

"Okay, let's play together tonight." Shen Li said with a smile. She didn't have any friends anyway, so she just recognized Cui Lan'er as her first friend after traveling through time.

"Really?" Cui Lan'er was very happy and her face turned redder.

"Of course it's true," Shen Li smiled and took her hand, "Let's go, or we'll be left behind."

Cui Lan'er hurriedly shook hands with him, and it was obvious that she was relieved that Shen Li did not refuse her.

Not far behind the two of them, Shen Yao and Wen Wanying followed behind Zhao and the Prime Minister's wife, coming slowly.

They had already seen Shen Li, and also saw Cui Laner who took the initiative to talk to Shen Li.

Shen Yao rolled her eyes and snorted coldly at Wen Wanying, "It's like finding the right person for the right person. Cui Hanzi and Da Shazi are a perfect match."

Wen Wanying looked at the two people holding hands in front of her with a smile and asked Shen Yao, "Who is that girl?"

Shen Yao said disdainfully, "Who else could it be? Her father was the Chief Censor, a fourth-rank official. Her mother died not long ago. When her mother was alive, she went around saying that our family had wronged Fang Shi, and she didn't have a good relationship with my mother."

"Then why don't you let grandpa deal with her father?"

"Her father is the Imperial Censor. He has a sharp tongue and is always looking for trouble. How do we deal with him?"

Everyone knows that the people in the Censorate are not easy to mess with. Although their official positions are not high, they are the most stubborn.

He secretly looked for faults in others and always found them.

No matter how high an official is, once they target him, he will be impeached. They can even pull out a layer of hair from him for no reason.

What's wrong with the Prime Minister? Can the Prime Minister offend the Chief Censor just because he has a bad relationship with his daughter?

How desperate would that be? Wouldn't it be like putting the blame on yourself?

The two men stopped talking and walked inside with their heads down.

There are more and more people in front.

The further you go in, the more lively it becomes.

Shen Li had been following Fang Yao. Lord Cui gave Cui Lan'er some instructions, left her with Shen Li, and went to find his colleagues.

The Great Zhou Dynasty prospered and its people were relatively civilized.

Therefore, this peach blossom banquet was held in the peach forest of the Imperial Garden. There was no distinction between male and female guests, and no screens were used to separate them. Those who were more particular wore masks or veils, while those who were not particular could wear nothing.

The first thing everyone did when entering the palace was to pay their respects to the emperor and empress. The emperor and empress sat at the highest point of the banquet, smiling and accepting everyone's greetings.

The spring breeze is blowing gently, the branches of flowers are swaying, the music of stringed instruments is pleasant, and the fragrance is lingering.

Everyone was talking and laughing, whispering to each other, in a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.

"Lord Fang, didn't you bring your niece into the palace today? Which one is it? Come here and let me and the Queen take a look."

Everyone's ears pricked up.

Yes, where is Miss Shen, who caused a sensation in the capital before she even returned?

That was the girl that the General of Cavalry protected with his military merits. When she heard that the Duke of Wei's mansion had canceled her engagement and regretted it, she came to the mansion and gave it many valuable gifts.

I also heard that in order to avoid owing favors to the Duke of Wei's Mansion, the General of Cavalry specially took out a magic medicine to treat the Duke's Mansion's eldest son.

Yes, yes, Master Yuan has recovered from his illness and I heard that he entered the palace today.

How awkward it must be for two people to meet. Oh, there's something fun to watch today. I'm so excited.

I heard that Miss Shen is not very smart, has no etiquette or rules, speaks rudely, and even hits people.

Huh? Is that true?

How terrible.

The gossips put their heads together and chattered in low voices.

Everyone's eyes were curiously staring ahead, waiting to see the Miss Shen, who was the subject of so many rumors.

Fang Yao looked at Shen Li with a smile. Shen Li was helpless. She lowered her head, stood up, stroked her skirt, and walked forward.

Her slender figure was graceful and her moon-white Shu brocade skirt flowed lightly as she walked.

She raised her head, blinked her long eyelashes twice, and her eyes revealed a clear and bright light as they moved.

The crowd that was whispering just now was now completely silent.

No one expected that the person who stood up would be such a Shen Li.

The imagined timidity did not exist at all. Standing in front of everyone was a girl who moved gracefully and elegantly and was very dignified.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

"Your humble servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

"Stand up," the emperor raised his hand and glanced at Fang Yao with a smile, "No wonder you are showing off in front of me, you are indeed a good boy."

"Yes, what a good child. I liked him the first time I saw him." The queen also smiled.

There is nothing wrong with being Shen Zhaojiang's daughter, but she happens to be Fang Yao's niece.

This is something to think about.

Everyone knows that this so-called peach blossom banquet is held by the royal family to select princesses for the princes. The so-called flower viewing is just these eloquent flowers in front of us.

The emperor is in a good mood today.

He caught a cold last night and almost had an asthma attack. The imperial physician immediately asked him to inhale the magic medicine sent by Fang Yao, and the effect was indeed miraculous.

He took just one breath, and after a while, the stuffy feeling in his chest disappeared, replaced by a sense of ease and comfort that he had not felt in a long time.

He had his first good sleep in several years, and when he woke up the next day, the imperial physician almost cried with excitement.

Since he has been ill for such a long time, Fang Yao has been worried about his illness every day and is determined to find a good medicine for him at any cost.

Just now, this guy came to the imperial study to find him and asked him to wear a rare soft golden armor.

Fang Yao said: "Whether it is dangerous or not, the emperor should wear it quietly in places where people gather in the future."

You have to wear it quietly, haha.

The emperor felt warm in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded Shen Li with a jade ruyi and two pieces of shark silk gauze.
