Cold-faced Empress

"In that case, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Fu Siying spoke up, feeling embarrassed. She had only known Luo Qiansu for a short time in this life, yet she had been constantly asking Luo Qiansu for help; she truly felt ashamed.

Luo Qiansu was overjoyed: "Just tell me, as long as it's within my power, I will definitely help you achieve it."

So Fu Siying whispered a few words in Luo Qiansu's ear.

After understanding the request, Luo Qiansu readily agreed, but was still somewhat troubled: "But what name should I use? I've never hosted an invitation before, so a small name might not be presentable, and a big name might not be credible."

Fu Siying also frowned in thought.

Just then, the cheerful conversation between Luo Shengming and Rong Chen reached his ears.

Luo Shengming: "I did go last year, but my horsemanship was really poor, so I gained nothing. I intended to practice properly, but I was too lazy and haven't ridden a horse since. I'm really ashamed."

Rong Chen was very envious: "It's so amazing that Brother Luo can go. I'm not very good at riding, and I really want to go. My older sister promised me that I could go this year."

After saying that, Rong Chen turned to Fu Siying and asked, "Elder sister, can I go to the autumn hunt this year? You promised me you would persuade Father and Mother!"

Fu Siying paused for a moment before remembering that she had promised Rong Chen that she would persuade her parents to let him join this year's autumn hunt in order to get him to help her find a stick to hit people at the family's Nanshan Villa.

"Yes, I remember, I will..."

Suddenly, Fu Siying had a flash of inspiration!

An idea came to mind, and he quickly turned to discuss it with Luo Qiansu: "What do you think of this name?"

……

The banquet was a grand affair, and both host and guests were thoroughly entertained. Prime Minister Fu and Lady Li were laughing so hard their faces were almost frozen. After seeing off almost all the guests, they were surprised to find that Prince Mu was still there.

Prime Minister Fu waited anxiously to the side, not daring to be negligent even though he was sweating profusely from the heat of the brazier near Prince Mu.

Fu Siying, who originally intended to return to the manor with Yunzhi and Rongchen first, saw this and instructed the servants to safely escort the second young lady and young master home before turning back.

She didn't approach, but stopped far away from Mo Canglan, looking at him coldly.

Mo Canglan ignored her and casually chatted.

"Didn't anyone from your family come?"

Prime Minister Fu shook his head and spoke favorably of his own family: "No. But we're all family, no need to come."

"Did you get your three thousand taels of silver back?"

"I returned it, I returned it the day after Qixi Festival."

His two responses were enough to fully demonstrate Prime Minister Fu's integrity and honesty.

Mo Canglan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "There is something His Majesty has ordered me to convey to the Prime Minister."

"Your Highness, please..."

Fu Siying stepped forward abruptly, glaring at Mo Canglan: "Are you really going to say it?"

Mo Canglan didn't look at her.

Caught between the two, Prime Minister Fu looked around, puzzled. What was going on? Why did Siying seem to know all along?

Just when Fu Siying thought that Mo Canglan would go back to discuss it with the Emperor after careful consideration, Mo Canglan suddenly said, "The Emperor intends to summon your second daughter, Lord Fu, to the palace to accompany the Emperor."

As soon as the words were spoken, Prime Minister Fu and Madam Li froze.

Fu Siying's glare at Mo Canglan instantly intensified with resentment. Without hesitation, she blurted out, "Yunzhi isn't going!"
