The banquet for the old prime minister's birthday has been the top priority in the capital in recent days. Although the prime minister's office is not as powerful as before and the emperor's attitude towards it has become much colder, he still has the official position of prime minister after all.

Cui Rongyu wanted to take Yun Wu to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet. The next day, Cao Quan brought the embroiderer over and said he wanted to tailor clothes for Yun Wu.

Yun Wu had just woken up early in the morning and was still not fully awake. She stood there with her arms outstretched like a clothes hanger, yawning.

The two embroiderers were measuring something up and down, left and right, front and back, and then they quickly recorded it in a booklet before finishing their work.

"Going to the birthday party at the Prime Minister's residence?"

Yun Wu asked with some doubt, then looked down at the maid's clothes on her body and said weakly:

"Can't you just wear your normal clothes?"

"You are accompanying the young prince to the banquet, and you represent the reputation of our palace. How can you dress so plainly and shabby?"

Cao Quan said this, and quickly instructed the two embroiderers to use the best material to make a good dress overnight.

After finishing his instructions, he turned around and looked at Yun Wu with a smile.

"The young prince has not had a female mosquito around him for so many years. You are the first one!"

"I……"

Yun Wu was speechless. She was just about to say that she was not a mosquito, but Cao Quan continued talking on his own.

"The young prince actually wants to take you to the banquet. It's obvious that he must have taken you to heart. You are the only maid in this main courtyard. We spend every day together and flirt with each other... Isn't that enough?"

Cao Quan was lost in his own fantasy. He sighed with emotion and his face was covered with wrinkles from smiling.

"Eunuch Cao, did you misunderstand something..."

Yun Wu said slowly and sluggishly. It seems that she didn't flirt with Cui Rongyu...

It seemed that Cao Quan must have misunderstood something. She was about to explain when a familiar low voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Yun Wu."

Cao Quan and Yun Wu looked back and saw a tall, slender and cold figure standing in the corridor of the main house.

A man in a black robe with wide sleeves stood in the corridor with one hand behind his back, his black hair simply pinned up with a hairpin.

"Come over for breakfast."

Cui Rongyu said, Cao Quan closed his mouth and did not say anything, but looked at Yun Wu with a very amiable and satisfied smile.

Oh my God! He had finally waited for this day. The young prince and this maid were really... hey, he even came to call her for breakfast in person - oh, that's not right!

It seems that the young prince wants to have breakfast with Yun Wu. Oh my god, this is finally a deal!

Yun Wu touched her head uncomfortably, feeling that there seemed something wrong with Cao Quan's smile, but she couldn't tell what it was.

While she was still hesitating whether to go over, Cui Rongyu continued with a faint look in his eyes:

"Today's breakfast includes sweet cakes."

"The servant is coming right now!"

Yun Wu's eyes lit up and she ran over happily.

Cui Rongyu raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his lips, then turned around and walked towards the main hall.

The little maid followed him happily, keeping pace with him.

This scene was so comfortable for Cao Quan, the talented man and beautiful woman fell in love with each other over time...

Cao Quan was so moved that tears were about to come out, and he felt more and more that the palace would have a mistress in the future.

Breakfast had been set in the main hall. Cui Rongyu sat in the main seat, and Feiyu arrived late and stood behind him.

Yun Wu stood at the table, hesitant. She looked at Cui Rong and Fei Yu behind her, and seemed a little afraid to sit down. After all, it was against the rules...

"Sit down and eat."

Cui Rongyu spoke, and Yun Wu had no choice but to sit down, because she felt that Feiyu seemed to be staring at her with displeasure, as if he thought that she, a maid, was too unruly.

Cui Rongyu turned his head and frowned slightly, and said in a calm voice:

"Don't stare at her."

"I am wronged!"

Fei Yu widened his eyes and spoke in a pitiful and helpless voice. He just looked at Yun Wu twice more and his face looked a little sour. How could he be glaring at her?

Cui Rongyu withdrew his gaze and moved the stack of cakes on the table in front of Yun Wu.

"I don't like eating sweets, so you can eat them at ease."

"Thank you, little prince!"

Yun Wu's voice was soft and pleasant. She ignored Fei Yu and instead relaxed and ate the cake with peace of mind.

She thought to herself that it seemed that the small kitchen in the palace was not so tactful.

Cui Rongyu clearly didn't like eating sweet cakes, but she would occasionally put extra plates of sweet cakes in her breakfast. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... in the end, they all went into her stomach.

Two days later, it was the day to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet, and the new clothes that the embroiderer had made were also delivered.

When Cui Rongyu came out of the study after discussing important matters with Feiyu, he saw Yun Wu who had already packed up and was waiting at the steps in the corridor.

She was wearing a long green brocade dress, and her outer robe was a thin gauze with scattered green flowers. Her figure was slender and her skin was as white as cream. The green dress made her look even more delicate and charming.

But now Yun Wu was touching the new hairpin on her head somewhat uncomfortably, and was afraid that the priceless jade hairpin would be knocked off her head, so she quickly put her hand down.

"Little prince..."

She bowed her head politely, and with some makeup on her face, she was a little embarrassed to look up and face people.

But when Yun Wu lowered her head just now, she seemed to see Cui Rongyu wearing a green dress...

"The carriage is already waiting, but the young prince must set off now——"

"and many more."

Cui Rongyu said, Yun Wu thought he had something to explain, but suddenly a pair of beautifully crafted embroidered shoes appeared in her sight.

"I had someone make a new pair of shoes."

"Is it for this servant to wear?"

Yun Wu suddenly raised her head and asked in surprise, and as soon as she raised her head, her eyes met Cui Rongyu's.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Cui Rongyu also wore a green robe with dark patterns when attending the banquet today, with long ink-black hair and a high crown, which made him look cool and noble.

Not long after, Yun Wu sat down on the stone steps in a daze, and had taken off the pair of apricot-colored embroidered shoes that she had been wearing, which had been washed so much that they turned pale.

The usually cold and arrogant little prince half-knelt in front of her with his head slightly lowered, holding a beautiful new embroidered shoe in his hand to change it for her.

"My young prince, I can do it myself..."

"do not move."

When Cui Rongyu's cold voice came, Yun Wu closed her mouth immediately and watched him put on the new embroidered shoes on her feet.

Surprisingly, the size was exactly the same.

Yun Wu moved her feet in surprise. The upper and sole of the shoes woven with Shu brocade were extremely soft and comfortable, and were decorated with colored glaze and emerald beads.

"Thank you, little prince...but these shoes are expensive. It would be bad if they got worn out..."

"It doesn't matter."

Cui Rongyu said lightly, his palm still holding Yun Wu's slender ankle, and his handsome face did not seem to have the coldness of the past.

He pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at Yun Wu straight in the eye.

"I'll give you a new one."

This was the first time that Yun Wu heard Cui Rongyu not call himself the King in front of her. She was stunned for a moment and forgot to ask why the shoes fit so well. After all, the embroiderer came here only to measure the size of the clothes.

In fact, on a dark and windy night, someone skillfully entered her house and measured it personally...

Ahem, maybe it’s not just about measurement…
