Su Lingyue and Qin Wanning chatted and laughed all the way back to the Golden Palace. When they reached the steps, they saw two maids supporting Su Nanxing walking down.

Seeing the ugly scar on Su Nan's face and his pale face, Su Lingyue couldn't help but stop.

Su Nanxing also saw Su Lingyue coming back. When his eyes fell on the branch of wintersweet in her hand, his gaze became vicious and resentful.

Qin Wan Ning, who was standing by, had never seen Su Nanxing like this. She had only heard some things from Su Lingyue. When she saw him today, she was so scared by the hideous scars and vicious face that she clenched Su Lingyue's hand.

Su Lingyue calmly comforted Qin Wanning, "It's okay."

She looked straight into Su Nanxing's vicious gaze without any fear.

Su Nanxing was supported by her maid and walked for a distance. Suddenly, a fishy and sweet taste rose up in her throat and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Crown Princess!" the maid screamed, "How are you?"

Another maid said, "Go and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get the imperial physician over!"

"No need!" Su Nanxing stopped the maid who was about to find the imperial physician and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xiao Changan used too much force just now, causing blood to congest his throat and making him unable to speak.

Now that the blood clots had been spit out, she felt relieved.

Su Nanxing sneered, "Xiao Changan is really ruthless! He'd better stay like this and kill Xiao Yu as soon as possible. I want to see if my dear sister can still laugh by then!"

After returning to the Golden Palace, Su Lingyue told Xiao Yu about her encounter with Su Nanxing just now.

"Why did she become like that?" Su Lingyue asked Xiao Yu in confusion.

Xiao Yu looked at the bright and charming Su Lingyue, and thought of Xiao Changan's words, and felt displeased.

"Xiao Changan's work." He suppressed his emotions and said calmly.

"Why?" Su Lingyue had never thought that there would be any conflict between the two of them that would lead to such a mess.

"I don't know." Xiao Yu took her hand and gently reminded her: "Yue'er, stay away from them in the future. No matter where you go, remember not to go alone."

Although the conversation between Xiao Changan and Su Nanxing was very low, he heard it clearly.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened to him if Xiao Changan had not seen through Su Nanxing's plan and done something to Yue'er at Longhua Temple.

It will go crazy!

He will definitely kill the Su family and Xiao Changan.

"My Lord, you pinched me!"

Su Lingyue's cry of pain brought Xiao Yu back to his senses. He realized that when he thought about those things, he unconsciously used force on his hand, leaving a red mark on Su Lingyue's hand.

He quickly let go and rubbed the red skin with a distressed look, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

"I don't feel any pain anymore." Su Lingyue smiled and put the red plum in her other hand under Xiao Yu's nose, "Your Majesty, please smell the scent of winter."

Xiao Yu's complexion finally improved. In response to Su Lingyue's words, he took a deep sniff of the red plum blossom at the tip of his nose.

There is a cool and refreshing fragrance, which smells very good.

Beautiful things always make people feel happy.

The fragrance of the flowers made Xiao Yu's unhappiness gradually dissipate, and his surging emotions eased bit by bit.

Xiao Yu curled his lips lightly, "It smells good, the flowers that Yue'er picked are especially fragrant."

Su Lingyue smiled with curved eyebrows, "Really? Then Your Majesty, please pin a red plum blossom on my hair."

Looking at Su Lingyue's expectant eyes, Xiao Yu raised the corners of his lips, picked a red plum flower from the branch, and pinned it into Su Lingyue's hair.

"How about it?"

"People are more delicate than flowers."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Changan, who was standing next to them, looked at their sweet smiles with jealousy burning in his eyes.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have tried to be sincere and be that gentleman.

As time approached noon, Princess Anyang and her husband returned to the Golden Palace together, reminiscing about the past.

Not long after they sat down, the emperor, empress and concubines also came to the Golden Palace.

Caidie and the other two could not block other people's view, so they retreated behind the crowd according to the rules.

Eunuch Wan shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone present stood up and knelt on one knee, "Long live His Majesty! Long live the Queen!"

The sound echoed throughout the Golden Palace.

The emperor was delighted and said with a smile, "All the ministers, please stand up!"

Everyone stood up and sat down in their original seats.

The emperor and empress sat in the center, and the other concubines sat on the left and right sides.

On the emperor's right were Concubine De. Concubine De and Concubine Hui were holding Princess Changning, and the two of them were very happy teasing the princess.

Xiao Changan's biological mother, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Xian sat on the left side of the Queen, and the concubines of lower status sat behind the four concubines.

The emperor and empress were wearing bright yellow dragon and phoenix robes, while the other concubines were wearing colorful costumes, vying with each other for beauty, which was very pleasing to the eye.

As soon as the emperor took his seat, he saw several special guests who came from far away, and he was in a very happy mood. "Anyang and the Prince Consort came from afar to celebrate my birthday. It's thoughtful of you."

Princess Anyang and her husband stood up and saluted the emperor. "It has been many years since we last met. Anyang and her husband wish you a long life."

The emperor smiled happily, "I am very happy to see my relatives today. Please take a seat and watch the singing and dancing in the palace later."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue beside Princess Anyang, and the smile on his face gradually faded. "Ah Yu, you have been claiming to be ill for many years and have not come to my birthday banquet. I am surprised to see you on the list of the Ministry of Rites this year."

Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said in a gentle voice: "My humble servant is ill, but the princess is young and likes to be lively, so the little girl must be pampered."

Su Lingyue's cheeks and ears turned red when she heard this.

He remembered that Xiao Yu said he came here to investigate the situation, so how come it became for his own sake?

However, after hearing these words, Su Lingyue felt sweet in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

The emperor smiled heartily: "Ayu is still a passionate man. It seems that this marriage is right."

The Queen's expression froze, and she was worried that the Emperor would bring up the matter of exchanging marriages again, so she changed the subject, "Of course we have to thank Your Majesty at this time. I'm sure Prince Su is also grateful to Your Majesty, so he dragged his sick body to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday."

After saying that, he looked at Su Lingyue again, "Yue'er, I heard that you were frightened and sick before, are you feeling better now?"

Su Lingyue looked at the queen and bowed, "Thank you for your concern, aunt. Yue'er is much better now."

The queen looked at Su Lingyue carefully, and inadvertently saw the red plum blossoms in her hair, and then saw the red plum blossoms on the table. She raised her lips slightly, "It's OK. There will be venison at the banquet later. You should eat more. It's good for your health."

Su Lingyue responded obediently, "Yes, aunt."

The emperor was in a good mood today. He didn't pay much attention to Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue. He shifted his gaze to look at the Loyalty Earl Fu Zha, the Liangjiang Governor Sui Jian and the three princes who came from afar.

After a few more pleasantries, the auspicious time arrived.

After Eunuch Wan reported to the emperor, he said in a hoarse voice: "The birthday banquet for His Majesty Emperor Daning has officially begun!"

"Let's go to the dance music!"

After he finished speaking, festive music suddenly sounded, and a group of women in gauze dance costumes entered the hall gracefully from outside the hall, swaying their waists and sleeves to the music.

There was singing and dancing in the Golden Throne Hall, and it was very lively.
