Usually, only officials of the fifth rank and above are qualified to attend the birthday banquet. He Yulin was a sixth rank tutor and could not come according to the rules.

But when she saw Qin Wanning, Su Lingyue felt very happy and didn't think much about it.

She just wanted to know now how the two of them reconciled.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu beside her, "Your Majesty, I want to go talk to Wan Ning."

Xiao Yu nodded, "Go ahead, but don't stay too long."

He turned around and told Li Jing, "Ah Qing, follow Yue'er closely."

Su Lingyue felt that Xiao Yu was being too cautious, and said softly, "Wan Ning is not an outsider, it's okay."

Xiao Yu looked at her and explained in a gentle voice, "I'm not worried about the young lady of the He family. There are many people in the palace today, and I feel at ease following you."

After all, she has lived in this palace for more than ten years. There is no place she is not familiar with, and there is no palace servant who does not know her. Who would dare to do anything to her!

But Xiao Yu also had good intentions. Su Lingyue looked at Li Jing and smiled, "Okay, then please help me, Aqing."

After that, he looked at Yan Qing who was wearing women's clothes and teased: "Xiao Yan, I'm going to leave for a while, you stay here and protect the prince well."

In order to avoid being exposed, Yan Qing deliberately dressed up as a mute girl.

He smiled and patted his chest, but ended up making the bun on his chest tilted.

He looked down, shook the steamed bun, moved it back to its original place, and then smiled brightly.

Su Lingyue opened her mouth and looked at him in shock.

Xiao Yu noticed Su Lingyue's expression and was about to turn his head to see what happened, but Su Lingyue held his face and forcibly turned his head back, "Your Majesty, don't look."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu became even more curious.

Caidie at the side covered her eyes directly. Li Jing's ears turned red and she knocked on Yan Qing's head, gritting her teeth and warning, "Don't do such obscene things again, or I'll break your hand!"

Yan Qing rubbed his head and looked at Li Jing aggrievedly with his big innocent eyes.

The steamed bun is crooked. If you don’t adjust it properly, the stuffing will come out!

Although Xiao Yu didn't look at it, he could guess the general idea from Li Jing's words, so he gave up the idea of ​​turning his head and continued drinking tea.

Anyway, someone will teach him a lesson, so he doesn't have to do it himself.

Those who came to the birthday party today included Master He, He Wen, He Yulin and Qin Wanning.

Su Lingyue went over and bowed to them, then said to Grand Tutor He, "Grand Tutor, I would like to talk to Wan Ning for a while, is it convenient?"

Master He also nodded to Su Lingyue and said, "The banquet hasn't started yet, so it's convenient."

After that, he said lovingly to Qin Wan Ning: "Wan Ning, you and the princess should not go too far, come back when the time is right."

Qin Wan Ning responded obediently: "Don't worry, Grandfather, I will."

Master He nodded with a smile.

He Yulin, who was standing by, gently reminded her, "You are weak, don't be exposed to the wind. Find a warm place to talk with the princess."

Qin Wanning chuckled and responded, then left the Golden Palace with Su Lingyue.

It was already sunny outside, and it was much warmer than when we first arrived.

Su Lingyue took Qin Wanning's hand and walked to the right.

"Yue'er, where are we going?" Qin Wan Ning asked curiously.

Su Lingyue winked at her and smiled playfully, "I'll take you to a very beautiful place."

Qin Wanning knew that Su Lingyue was familiar with the palace, so she followed her without worry. The pink gem hairpin beside her ear made a "ding ding" sound.

Su Lingyue was attracted by the clear voice, looked at it and asked, "Your headgear is very beautiful, I have never worn it before, did you buy it new?"

Qin Wanning's ears turned red and she said, "He gave it to me."

Su Lingyue asked thoughtfully: "So, you two have reconciled?"

"Ah."

Qin Wan Ning responded, thought for a moment and said, "He comes to ask for peace every day and gives me my favorite food and cakes. Yue'er, I really can't bear to see him standing in the cold wind."

"I understand." Su Lingyue agreed.

If Xiao Yu stood in the wind, even if he coughed, her heart would break.

But what happened that day was so terrible, and He Yulin's mother did such a thing, could she really let it go?

"Have you forgiven Mrs. He?" Su Lingyue asked.

Qin Wan Ning shook her head. "No. Jia didn't come to apologize, they didn't say anything, and they didn't force me to go see her like they did in the past."

"I know they love Jia. If I can't let go of my hatred for Jia, I won't be able to live a normal life with Yulin."

"I don't want to give up this hard-earned marriage."

"He is just too soft-hearted, but he is not a bad person. I told him that from now on I am me and his mother is his mother. His mother should not harm me again, and I will not pursue her actions. I will live a good life with him."

"Did Prince He agree?"

"He told Jia, but Jia couldn't bring herself to apologize to me, and I didn't want to see her either, so the two of them hit it off. Besides, this is an attempt to murder my life and my offspring, so even if she apologized sincerely, I would not forgive her."

Seeing Qin Wan Ning talking about this calmly, Su Lingyue felt that this was a good thing. Wan Ning's life would be much better without having to serve her mother-in-law and suffer from her bullying.

Su Lingyue was still a little worried, "Master He, Lord He, and Master He, do they all agree with this?"

Qin Wanning lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "It's true that they love me and Jia Shi. I don't want to force it. I just want to manage my own life well."

Seeing the disappointment on Qin Wanning's face, Su Lingyue knew that although she said she had let it go, she must still care in her heart.

But Jia was the daughter-in-law of Tutor He, the first wife of Lord He, and the mother of He Yulin. She had spent more time with the He family than Wan Ning.

Su Lingyue could understand, but did not agree.

It seems that I have to find time to talk to He Yulin. Wan Ning continues to stay in He Mansion only because of him.

Su Lingyue had a feeling that if He Yulin took another wrong step, he and Wan Ning would probably end up with regret.

In Daning, it is common for couples to divorce, but after the divorce, it is much more difficult for a woman to remarry, and many people will mind it.

She didn't want Wan Ning to go through this.

Su Lingyue was thinking, and when she came to her senses, she found that Qin Wanning was also looking at her, with a smile on her pretty face.

"What's wrong?" Su Lingyue asked doubtfully, "Is there something on my face?"

Qin Wan Ning smiled and said, "I just noticed that you and the prince are wearing the same clothes. They are the same color!"

Su Lingyue lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, but the corners of her mouth could not help but rise, "Not bad! You can also do the same with He Shizi later."

Qin Wan Ning chuckled and agreed, then asked, "Your amethyst headpiece is really beautiful. I've never seen you wear it before. Did you buy it especially for this outfit?"

Su Lingyue's lips curled up a little more, and she explained to Qin Wan Ning with a smile, "He gave it to me. I picked the clothes specifically to match this headdress, and then I picked that suit for him."

"I see!" Qin Wan Ning sighed, "The prince is really good to you! I was very worried about you at first, but now that I see you are living so well, I am relieved!"

Su Lingyue couldn't help but tease her when she saw her like this, "Why do you sound like my mother?"

Qin Wan Ning nodded in approval, "That's right! I've been worried a lot about you, too."

The two chatted all the way and came to the garden next to the Cining Palace. The empress dowager had been under house arrest for a long time and had not been moving around much, but Su Lingyue really liked to come here to play.

There are more types of flowers here than in the Imperial Garden. Although the palace servants do not take good care of it, it has a wild beauty.

As soon as she entered the garden, Qin Wan Ning was amazed at the flowers, plants and trees here, "Yue'er, this place is so beautiful!"

Although it is winter, the garden is still full of winter seasonal flowers, with refreshing fragrance, many of which are not easily seen outside.

Caidie used to come here often with Su Lingyue. When she saw Su Lingyue again, she felt very nostalgic and couldn't help but pull Li Jing to talk about the interesting things in the past.

Although Li Jing said she was reluctant, she still let Caidie pull her to listen to the story.

Inside the Golden Palace, Xiao Yu drank ginger tea, his eyes fixed on the door.

Now most of the guests have arrived, but Xiao Changan and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Wang Qing have not come yet.

He had asked the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to delay the case of the Minister of Revenue Jiang Fu, and was just waiting to go to Wang Qing's house tonight to get the evidence to clear him of suspicion.

He glanced at Li Mao and Li Lang.

After tonight, everything will be resolved.
