After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, the weather is gradually getting hotter. Now, the palace is filled with blooming flowers, lush green grass, and verdant trees, all accompanied by the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Everywhere was brimming with enthusiasm and vitality.

As she approached, Qin Wanyou inhaled the fresh, natural fragrance and gazed upon the beautiful scene of blooming flowers, her mood gradually brightening.

The group arrived at the Imperial Garden, where the scenery was even more breathtaking—beautiful women, stunning views, and delicious food—a feast for the eyes!

The palace servants led the group to the entrance of the Imperial Garden and then left to fetch the next group.

Li helped the old lady to a small pavilion to sit down and rest.

Outside, the old lady still gave Li Shi face and knew how to be polite. "It's still early. You take the children to pay their respects to the Noble Consort Xian. I'll rest here. When it's almost time, Liu Mama and I will go over."

Li replied, "Yes, Mother. You can rest here for a while, we'll be going now."

Old Madam Qin waved her hand.

So Qin Wanyou had no rest and had to keep going.

However, the palace of the Noble Consort Xian was not far from the Imperial Garden; it only took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to get there.

Consort Xian was just waking up from her afternoon nap and had just finished dressing.

A palace maid announced that the Right Chancellor's wife had come to pay her respects.

Consort Xian carefully placed a gold hairpin in her hair, looked it over, and said, "Not bad, pass it on."

The palace maid responded and withdrew.

"Your subject's wife"

"Your subject's daughter"

"younger generation"

"Greetings, Your Highness! Wishing you good health and eternal youth!"

The group knelt down and paid their respects to Consort Xian.

"Please rise, sister. Everyone, rise." Consort Xian sat in the main seat, looking at everyone.

"Thank you, empress!"

The group then stood up.

Consort Xian looked at the beautiful women in front of her, each with their own unique charm, and said, "My sister is so lucky to have both a son and a daughter. Look at these nieces, each one is as beautiful as a flower, and the nephews are handsome and adorable."

"Your Majesty flatters me. The First Prince is truly handsome and extraordinary, a man of divine appearance," Madam Li said politely.

After exchanging pleasantries, Consort Xian had someone lead Qin Shanyu and Qin Deyu to the place where men were gathering and exchanging ideas.

He then proceeded to praise Qin Mingzhu and Qin Wanyou for a while.

Qin Wanyou didn't react much, occasionally letting out a soft "hmm."

Qin Mingzhu, on the other hand, spoke without restraint, as if her mouth were a fountain that would never dry. She showered the Consort Xian with sweet words, making her beam with joy.

After talking for a while, Consort Xian had someone take the four sisters to the Imperial Garden to play, and then she and Lady Li had a private chat.

When Qin Wanyou and the others arrived at the Imperial Garden, Qin Mingzhu took her maid to find her good friend Li Jingyu, while Qin Shuyu and Qin Manzhu went to find their usual friends, leaving Qin Wanyou alone at the gate.

Qin Wanyou was wondering whether she should go in. She didn't know most of the people inside, and she didn't usually have any social life.

In the end, Qin Wanyou went inside.

Upon entering, everyone who saw her was amazed, exclaiming, "Whose young lady is this? So beautiful!"

Li Jingyu also saw it, "Mingzhu, that, that's Qin Er?"

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Qin Mingzhu twisted her handkerchief, "It's her. After she lost her magic, she started to have a foxy look on her face."

Li Jingyu glanced at Qin Mingzhu and then at Qin Wanyou, "I never expected her to be so stunning when she's dressed up."

On the other side, the women, led by Xie Xuanyun, daughter of Grand Tutor Xie, also saw Qin Wanyou.

"Whose secret beauty is this? They're only showing her to us now."

Miss Liu Xichun, the daughter of Imperial Censor Liu, stared intently at Qin Wanyou.

Xie Xuanyun followed Liu Xichun's gaze and looked over.

Looking up, she resembled a blooming peach blossom, with fair skin and delicate features. Dressed in purple, she danced gracefully, her aloofness and otherworldly beauty like that of a celestial being.

This was Xie Xuanyun's first impression of Qin Wanyou.

"She is indeed a very beautiful girl!" Xie Xuanyun couldn't help but exclaim.

Qin Wanyou knew that many people were staring at her, but she ignored them and took a plate of pastries with Shuangling to a quiet corner to eat.

On the other side, someone from a small team glanced at Fu Yingying and said, "Yingying, Yandu City has gained another beauty, comparable to you! The two beauties of Yandu City may have to be changed to the three most beautiful women of Yandu City."

Some people recognized her, saying, "It's actually Qin Er! I never expected that. I heard her spiritual arts were poisoned away."

The incomparably beautiful Fu Yingying glanced at Qin Wanyou, but didn't take it to heart. "The future Crown Prince's consort is of course a beauty of unparalleled grace. I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to her."

Seeing that Qin Wanyou was alone, Liu Xichun asked her maid to invite Qin Wanyou to her side so she could get a closer look.

As Qin Wanyou was eating, someone called her, and she glanced at Liu Xichun.

Xie Xuanyun and Liu Xichun both smiled and nodded at Qin Wanyou.

Upon seeing that she was a stunningly beautiful future crown princess and a decent person, Qin Wanyou naturally agreed.

But before they could exchange more than a few words, they heard an eunuch announce, "Consort Rou has arrived! Consort Jing has arrived!"

The people in the Imperial Garden rushed forward to pay their respects.

Then everyone returned to their own families, and Qin Wanyou also sat down behind Old Madam Qin.

Not long after, the eunuch called out again, "The Virtuous Consort, the Good Consort, the Gentle Consort have arrived..."

Everyone hurriedly rose and knelt down to greet the ladies.

I had just gotten up when I heard, "The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived!"

Everyone knelt down and bowed once again.

Qin Wanyou was speechless; this part didn't seem to exist in her previous life.

Oh, I forgot, my past self is probably sleeping soundly in some corner right now.

"Rise, my lords. This is a family banquet, no need for formalities. Please rise!" the Emperor said kindly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The proper etiquette must still be observed.

"Today is the annual Dragon Boat Festival. In this bright sunshine, amidst the birdsong and fragrant flowers..." The emperor then launched into a long and eloquent speech before finally getting to the point, "Now, let's invite the fine young men of our Great Yan into the palace."

Then, the princes, led by the crown prince, along with a group of young and handsome ministers, appeared before everyone.

Most of the women on the field blushed when they saw the rows of masculine, handsome faces.

Qin Wanyou was the only one eating with her head down, enjoying the mugwort and glutinous rice dumplings and mugwort cakes. The mugwort cakes were fragrant and refreshing, and there were also various flower cakes. They were really delicious!

Qin Mingzhu glanced at Qin Wanyou and saw that all she knew was eating. She snorted disdainfully to herself, thinking, "A fool is a fool!"

The emperor praised the men and women present a few more times, then said he had something to attend to and left for the imperial study, leaving the empress to oversee the proceedings.

But seeing the group of reserved young men and women, the Empress led the ladies away from the Imperial Garden, leaving the young people to meet and socialize.

As soon as the Empress left, the Crown Prince, Murong Xiao, and the others moved to a pavilion, and the atmosphere on the field immediately changed.

Qin Mingzhu left immediately and quickly disappeared from sight.

In the blink of an eye, only Qin Wanyou and Shuangling remained on the Qin family's side. Qin Wanyou was too lazy to pay attention to others, since she was already engaged and the men on the field wouldn't bother her. She ate a mouthful of mugwort cake and a sip of flower tea, glancing up at the beautiful women and handsome men.

This is somewhat similar to the scene seen on the wall of another world: a few women or men on the stage jumping and dancing, striking poses, while the judges below look on with enjoyment, occasionally offering a few comments on what they don't like, and the people on stage have to bow and thank them.

Although no one is dancing on stage right now, there are still a few people striking poses, and there are also scenes of innocent men and women unable to speak, which makes onlookers anxious.

Qin Wanyou seemed to be experiencing a bit of the judges' joy, and it felt pretty good.

"What is Little You'er looking at? She seems to be enjoying herself."
