Quick travel: I rely on the childbirth system to pamper my harem

"Each each other."

Xue Yan was so angry that she took two steps towards Yu Qingning: "Sister-in-law, don't be too proud. Sooner or later, I will get what I want!"

"Then I'll wait and see." Yu Qingning chuckled.

The next day, the imperial examination election was over.

The palace sent out an invitation, inviting the female members of the Fang family and the men of marriageable age to attend the banquet at the princess's residence.

Xue didn't like socializing, so she gave the invitation to Yu Qingning. However, Xue still felt sorry for Xueyan, so she asked her to go with her to the princess's mansion to see the world.

This princess's mansion belongs to the current emperor's most beloved daughter, named Zhao Gui.

He was sixteen years old.

As soon as the imperial examination was over, the royal family recruited eligible men and students who made the list to live in the princess's mansion. The purpose was obvious, which was to choose a husband for the princess, and the female relatives served as the princess's foil.

If the boys and girls are attracted to each other, it might become a beautiful story.

On this day, Xueyan was dressed up gorgeously, exuding a bright and graceful demeanor. If you ignore her ambitious eyes, she looks like a lively and innocent little girl.

In front of the carriage, Xueyan saluted Yu Qingning.

"Sister-in-law, I hope you can take care of me today. This is my first time attending a banquet like this. If there is anything I am not doing well, please give me some advice."

Because of Xueyan's background, she cannot attend banquets hosted by the royal family.

When at Yu's house, Yu Qingning rarely participated, but Yu Shuyao was present at every banquet.

Now that Xueyan said this, it was unclear whether she really wanted to take care of him or was taking the opportunity to mock them for being the same kind of people.

Yu Qingning took Hongying's hand and got into the carriage.

Xueyan followed closely behind, afraid that Yu Qingning would leave her behind.

"Miss cousin, Madam said that you should talk less and watch more when you attend the banquet. Don't offend anyone you shouldn't offend, or you'll bring disaster to the Fang family."

Seeing that Yu Qingning didn't say anything and let a servant speak instead, Xueyan immediately snorted coldly: "The Fang family is in a high position and has great power. Who dares to move under the feet of the emperor?"

Yu Qingning glanced at Xueyan.

This woman is as stupid as Yu Shuyao.

There was no conversation along the way until I handed in the invitation and entered the princess's palace.

As expected of the emperor's favorite daughter, the princess's mansion was built almost like a royal palace. It was filled with rare treasures and sights, and it was dazzling, making people marvel at the sight.

Several people followed the crowd all the way into the princess's mansion.

This side has been arranged.

There are not so many rules in this dynasty. Men and women can sit at the same table, but they are on opposite sides and even have to participate in talent competitions.

However, married women do not need to leave the stage, they just need to join in the applause.

As soon as Yu Qingning sat down, he found Yu Shuyao sitting at the end, accompanied by Cheng Yiyi and Cheng Yanzhou.

Yu Shuyao looked more haggard than the last time they met.

Even her cheeks were sunken, and her slender fingers, which had never been touched by water, were now rough, red and swollen, and her clothes were dull and lifeless.

In her mind, Yu Shuyao is the one who loves beauty the most, and she is always dazzling when she attends every banquet.

She is in such an embarrassing situation now, probably because she is not having an easy time in the Cheng family. On the other hand, Cheng Yiyi and Cheng Yanzhou, both wearing silk clothes, seem to outshine Yu Shuyao.

In her previous life, when attending banquets, Cheng Yiyi would also go to great lengths to ask for jewelry and clothes from Yu Qingning. Yu Qingning would naturally not tolerate this, but Yu Shuyao obviously did not have such a good method.

As if she had noticed something, Yu Shuyao also looked towards Yu Qingning.

Seeing Yu Qingning who was becoming more and more graceful, Yu Shuyao's eyes instantly turned cold, then she forced a smile and walked straight towards Yu Qingning.

"Sister, my brother-in-law is not at home. Are you doing well during this period?"

As she spoke, Yu Shuyao looked at Xueyan beside her intentionally or unintentionally.

"good."

Yu Shuyao sneered, thinking that Yu Qingning was just pretending. She glanced at Xueyan and asked knowingly, "Who is this girl?"

"Snow smoke."

Yu Shuyao suddenly realized and said, "Is it the girl who grew up with my brother-in-law? Sister, I heard that Miss Xueyan has a very good relationship with my cousin."

In her previous life, Xueyan had been constantly scheming to alienate her from the Xue family.

To the extent that she and the Xue family were like enemies, and even Fang Jixuan didn't love her. Yu Shuyao got angry when she thought about it, but she was quite happy now.

Because Xueyan is still alive, Yu Qingning and the Xue family must have a disharmonious relationship, just like her in her previous life!

Xueyan frowned. It was very inappropriate to have such a relationship pointed out in public.

After all, Fang Jixuan didn't like her, so she had to find another way out...

"Yes." Yu Qingning stuffed a grape into her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister, you know so much about our Fang family. I thought you were the daughter-in-law of the Fang family."

Yu Shuyao glared at Yu Qingning: "Sister, stop joking. My husband is Cheng Yanzhou."

Yu Qingning smiled slightly.

She didn't expect Cheng Yanzhou and Yu Shuyao to come to this party.

I'll have to find out why later.

"Sister-in-law, is she your sister?" Xueyan suddenly asked when Yu Shuyao returned to her seat, "It seems that she is not as smart as sister-in-law and is eager to be humiliated."

Yu Qingning said calmly: "My cousin is really interesting in talking."

Xueyan lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about, and glanced towards Yu Shuyao from time to time.

Seeing this, Yu Qingning said, "You should take a good look at the men present later. There might be one that you like. I will let mother make the decision then."

Xueyan's thoughts were interrupted, and she immediately said absentmindedly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know what's going on."

"It's the best."

Soon, the princess came over amid exclamations.

She sat on a high seat, letting the guests eat and drink as they pleased, then she kept looking at the eligible young men, and occasionally turned her head to talk to the palace maids beside her.

Yu Qingning lost interest after just two glances and continued eating.

However, Xueyan was eager to try.

The talent competition began soon, with poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting, which immediately made the banquet hall lively.

Xueyan and Cheng Yiyi both got on.

The performance was quite outstanding.

Many men were dazzled.

Yu Qingning looked towards the platform and saw that the princess had a slightly gloomy brow and looked unhappy, but the palace maid whispered a few words in her ear and the princess smiled again.

Another half hour passed, and only Xueyan and Cheng Yiyi were left on the field.

Both of them were racking their brains for the first place.

The princess' smile grew wider and wider, and she looked very interested.

"Mrs. Fang!"

Suddenly, a voice brought Yu Qingning back to his senses. Looking behind him, he actually saw King Chen.

He was leaning on his crutches, his face full of surprise.

"I didn't expect to see you here, you know? I've always wanted to go to your house to thank you, but I never had the chance."

Yu Qingning didn't know what Prince Chen was thinking, so he quickly bowed and said politely, "Your Highness, when I see someone in trouble, I should help them. Your Highness doesn't have to keep brooding over it."
