The New Year banquet was approaching, and Li Zuoqing felt that the days passed quickly after he came back, and he was invited by the Ministry of Rites not long after.

She intentionally asked Xin Fei to go with her, but Xin Fei simply refused: "No."

"Why? An Linlang will also be there at that time. You are the only one in the Princess Mansion. How interesting it is to join in the fun~" Li Zuoqing tried to sway her, "Look at the bustling scene in the streets and alleys, not only The citizens of the Xinwu Dynasty, as well as the envoys from the vassal states who came to congratulate them, will definitely see a lot of good things at that time!"

"..." Xin Fei was serious about this, and opened his mouth after thinking for a long time, "I am a woman from a family background, and I am afraid that I will insult your reputation by accompanying you at your family banquet."

"Don't worry about that kind of thing. Let me see who dares to say that my concubine is not good," Li Zuoqing smiled at her. "To say you are not good is to say that my eldest daughter is not good."

Although Xin Fei felt warm in his heart, he was still a little worried, "Other than that, I don't want to enter the main hall either."

Li Zuoqing looked at her strangely: "Why? I still want my father and queen mother to meet you."

She remembered that since Xin Fei was brought into the princess mansion, she had hardly seen people outside. The unpopular background she said was also one of the reasons. This incident also made the empress angry at the time.

Under Li Zuoqing's probing eyes, Xin Fei looked around, blushed slightly, and said softly: "I don't like crowded and grand occasions, I'm a little scared!"

"Hey~but but but—" Li Zuoqing grabbed her shoulder and approached her coquettishly, "wasn't Xiaofei the oiran dancer of Tianxiang Pavilion before, afraid of the excitement?"

Xin Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking why he hadn't gotten over it, so he said again: "The king wants to rule all the people, so it's naturally different..."

Li Zuoqing saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, although he was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much, instead he thought of a new idea: "That's good!"

"Huh?" Xin Fei raised his eyes.

"You and the sixth imperial concubine go to the hall where the relatives and women are entertained, and I will ask the sixth imperial concubine to take care of you."

"You really want me to go with you that much?"

"That's right, from the night after the palace banquet ends, fireworks will be displayed for [-] days in a row. At that time, the palace city will be full of viewers in pairs. How lonely I am alone! Besides, I heard that on New Year's Eve Couples who stay together late will live longer in the future."

Li Zuoqing's words were well-founded and sincere, which made Xin Fei's firm heart begin to loosen.

"Okay, then I'll go with you just—uh!"

When she nodded, Li Zuoqing rushed forward, hugged her and kissed her, then pinched and kneaded her face: "I knew you wouldn't reject me~ Stay with me forever!"

"……it is good."

On the day of the palace banquet, before dawn, the group of people had already prepared. According to the requirements, Li Zuoqing wore a blue brocade court dress. Although An Linlang was a proton, her status was relatively noble, and she was dressed like an ordinary princess. Wearing a plush warm-colored half-sleeves, and a warm orange pleated skirt woven with begonias.Xin Fei, on the other hand, looked much more low-key, with a light pink round-neck jacket, an apricot yellow back, and a maple-red and apricot-colored long skirt, which looked slim and elegant.

"You dress like this, do you want to tell people outside that the Princess Mansion is bullying you?" An Linlang circled around Xin Fei's two-color interlaced skirt. In her opinion, a good brocade requires a full-face dress. There is no such thing as cutting and sewing.

Xin Fei: "..."

"Okay, okay, as long as Xiao Fei is happy, it's just something outside of her body, and I think it's pretty good-looking." The main thing is that she is good-looking.

Li Zuoqing smoothed things over.

"Then I'm not afraid of her..." Losing the face of the eldest princess's mansion.Halfway through An Linlang's words, she suddenly felt a little presumptuous. After all, she was not yet a member of Her Royal Highness, and could not be the master.

But thinking about it, her mood got even worse.

When she was young, she hoped that Princess Yu would accept her and give her a stable home, but now this long-cherished wish is hard to come true, but the country far away in another territory is far away, and she doesn't know how her father and mother will be. I missed her a little bit.

"Don't worry, this is Xiao Fei's first time going, right? There won't be anything wrong with the sixth imperial concubine. If you encounter difficulties, please send someone to come to me." Li Zuoqing asked Li Ruihe and Su Qianqian who came to the capital yesterday in advance. , the other party also vowed to take good care of Xin Fei.

Since her sixth younger brother was quite reliable in his work, and his position was also towards the original owner, she felt a little relieved that his wife was taking Xin Fei with him.

After the Zhulun sedan chair entered the Danfeng Gate, Li Zuoqing and Xin Fei'an Linlang separated, and were led by a familiar face.

"Eunuch Zhao, this time..." When Li Zuoqing saw him, he recalled the shadow of being forced to marry at Queen Anyuan's place last time.

"Don't worry, Your Highness the Eldest Princess. The old minister is just following the order of the Empress Empress to lead the way for Her Royal Highness the Empress. The Empress attaches great importance to Her Royal Highness, and misses her day and night..."

Li Zuoqing supported his forehead, his head grew dizzy from hearing Eunuch Zhao's chanting, and he walked quickly to the main hall with his legs open.

The four corners of the Chongming Hall are hung with majestic banners, and the town shop generals in armor stand at the four corners. The four sides of the hall are guarded by heavy soldiers. There is also a 3000 Huang Ni Honor Guard, which fills the streets with gates, solemn and solemn.

Not only officials from the capital, but also local officials and envoys from vassal states came to congratulate each other with tributes. At this time, the bright orange sky suddenly appeared, giving a sense of blessing.

Li Zuoqing followed in the team to congratulate, and no one mentioned other things in the public, they all followed the rules, and there was nothing wrong with it.After a series of ceremonies, the Holy Majesty held a banquet and gave wine to comfort the ministers.

This palace banquet is much more grand than the sixth prince's Yuanfu banquet. After the court congratulations, blessings, and rites and music are over, the sun has turned from the east to noon. Even those rare things that pay tribute will hardly reduce the fatigue. When the banquet started, she barely adjusted her posture to relax herself.

During this period, she quietly observed the Eldest Prince's appearance for a few times. He pretended to be humble and pretended nothing happened. Occasionally, when he met his gaze, he raised his glass respectfully to her.

Li Zuoqing felt very uncomfortable, and even wanted to get angry.

Why can this person act as if nothing happened after the assassination was revealed, and what happened to Wen Mingran now, has he been driven away?That would be the best, but it cannot be ruled out that something else happened...

Forget it, if you are unrighteous to her, then what do you care about.

Li Zuoqing bit his wine glass, narrowing his eyes slightly.

At this time, there were light footsteps gradually approaching from behind, accompanied by the sound of jade ornaments colliding.

Li Zuoqing guessed that the person who came to find her was probably Lin Qiwu, so he turned around with his cup indifferently: "What's wrong with Qiwu..."

Before she finished speaking, a bright and moving face was enlarged in front of her eyes. The young girl's eyes were filled with a strong desire to find out, and the delicate silver ornaments on her temples jingled.

It was an unfamiliar face. The deep eyebrows and wheat-colored skin reminded her of the eldest prince's mother and concubine. This woman was probably a foreign envoy from a vassal state.

"I heard that you are the emperor's favorite princess." The girl opened her mouth, her voice was as clear as a silver bell.

"Uh, you are..." Li Zuoqing tried hard to recall which clan this girl belonged to when he was in court just now.

But the opponent didn't care about the sense of distance, and was very aggressive, so he took a few steps closer.

Li Zuoqing was neither retreating nor entering, but when he turned his eyes and tried to seek help outside the court, he happened to see the person he had guessed in his mind just now—Lin Qiwu was standing ten steps behind the strange girl, looking at her with the look of being beaten. Constant panic.

"I'm Xue Zhiyu, the third princess of Wuqi Kingdom." The girl was dissatisfied with Li Zuoqing's shifting of her gaze, walked around Li Zuoqing in a so-so manner, then raised her glass and whispered to her: "Although the ranks are different, I He is also father's most beloved child, that's why he can come here."

Li Zuoqing didn't understand what her intention was, or she just came to say hello, so she also clinked glasses with the other party: "Then I wish the three princesses have a good time in the capital."

"Pfft, it's really serious. It's completely different from what others said." Xue Zhiyu laughed, looked around, and in the next second, he turned around and waved to her as if he had found a bird returning home: "Remember me Oh, will come to you again!"

"Huh..." Li Zuoqing was at a loss for a moment for this strange princess who appeared suddenly and then ran away casually.

Then, Lin Qiwu finally walked forward slowly: "Lang Yu, long time no see."

Her previous self-restraint and arrogance have subsided a lot, and the cold eyes she looked at Li Zuoqing at first turned into expectations that wanted to say a thousand words.

"Well, how is Qiwu doing recently?" Li Zuoqing asked indifferently.

"Everything is as usual, I just heard from my father that Lang Yu was injured outside..." Lin Qiwu frowned, and lowered his eyes to scan the injured area on her chest, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Why didn't she come to find herself immediately after she came back?In the past, Lang Yu would come to her or send someone to inform her whenever something happened, whether good or bad, but now Lang Yu really ignored her for more than a month.

When she counted the time to meet her, did Lang Yu really miss her at all?

The worry in Lin Qiwu's eyes was real, but Li Zuoqing didn't trust her and the Xiangfu, so he still looked away strangely.

"It's all right now."

"That's good." Lin Qiwu felt uncomfortable as if his heart was blocked by something.

After not seeing each other for so long, she found that she was still not used to being away from Lang Yu for such a long time. Although she never bowed her head, in order to ease the relationship with Lang Yu, she could let go of her pride.

After all, Lang Yu likes her so much, and his eyes have been glued to her since he was a child. As long as he softens his attitude, she will definitely not get angry.

The more Lin Qiwu thought about it, the more unwilling he felt.

That's right, she should also express her heart to Lang Yu, instead of just accepting the other party's favor.

"Lang Yu, I want to talk to you," Lin Qiwu raised her head, her eyes moved slightly, and she took the initiative to grab Li Zuoqing's sleeve.

Li Zuoqing's heart trembled at this moment when he looked up, thinking of another person who was very similar to her, but Lin Qiwu's voice continued, "I'll be waiting for you at Wuxingtai tonight."

"No, I have an appointment." Li Zuoqing came back to his senses and flatly refused.

Lin Qiwu clenched her sleeves tightly, but she would not take back what she had said: "Then, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."

"Lin Qiwu, I—" Li Zuoqing opened his mouth, and before she could say anything, a maid from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to whisper a few words to Lin Qiwu.

Lin Qiwu suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Really?"

What could make Lin Qiwu show his surprise on the surface?

So Li Zuoqing asked curiously: "What happened?"

Lin Qiwu glanced at the people around him, and said in a low voice, "I heard that the empress's hidden guards are looking for someone. I don't know what happened, but my father asked me to go to him."

Li Zuoqing looked at the peaceful palace full of singing and dancing in front of him. He really couldn't imagine what went wrong, but what could alarm Empress Anyuan...could it be that there were assassins in the palace? !

When she thought of an assassin, she thought of Wen Mingran reflexively.

So she frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I don't know." Lin Qiwu shook his head, then gave her a hesitant look before turning around and leaving.
