Fang Ruotang has three older sisters of marriageable age. She has heard these simple truths more than once and finds them to be very reasonable.

Fang Shengtang knew that Yu Sheng couldn't hear Fang Ruotang's inner thoughts, but she still glanced at him subconsciously, only to find that his gaze was fixed on her.

Upon seeing her look at him, he immediately bent forward, awaiting her instructions, as if in his eyes, nothing else in the world existed except her.

Fang Shengtang's heart trembled slightly.

In just a few days, she developed some genuine feelings for him.

She came from a noble family, and all the young masters and noblemen of similar social standing were arrogant and haughty. In the past, all she asked for was to treat each other with respect.

Now, being cherished like a precious jewel by a man, Fang Shengtang's heart is burning with passion. In the quiet of the night, whenever she thinks of Yu Sheng's eyes, she sometimes absentmindedly thinks that even if he doesn't have an extraordinary background, his sincerity in this life is worth treasuring.

As for telling the truth about the rest of my life.

This was a calculated scheme devised by the Cui family and Fang Shengtang.

She wanted to openly tell Yu Sheng that she treated him differently because of his extraordinary background, amplify his desire for her, and make him want to possess her.

She firmly believed that he couldn't resist this sweet fruit offered to him. After all, in this life, he had the desires of a mortal. As for whether he would remember their love after returning to his rightful place after a hundred years, she wasn't sure. But she didn't want to be an insignificant part of his journey.

But she knew that immortals and mortals were different. On the day he returned to his position, he would see through her schemes and tricks at a glance. Rather than blocking them, she thought it was better to guide them.

What she wanted was for him to be deeply infatuated with her and unable to extricate himself even though he knew she was using tricks.

Only under such circumstances would he be willing to return to her side again.

"You rushed over here in such a hurry, what's the matter?" Fang Shengtang quickly composed himself, and when he spoke again, his face was only excessively flushed, nothing else was visible.

Fang Ruotang's big eyes swept back and forth between Fang Shengtang and Yu Sheng, and after a couple of glances, she smiled and leaned closer.

"Big sister, my brother the Crown Prince has booked a theatrical troupe for Chunri Garden tomorrow at noon. He said I can invite some friends over to play. You know I have no experience, so I came to ask you for help!"

"Spring Garden, a theatrical troupe that just came from Jiangnan?"

"Big sister knows too?"

"Yes, I've heard about it."

She hasn't left the house these past few days, and she's received countless invitations.

She didn't want to argue whether it was genuine or not.

Whether they wanted to get to know Xiao Liu through her or seduce Yu Sheng through her, she didn't care and simply rejected them all.

This situation wasn't unique to her; her third and fourth sisters were in the same predicament, with the third sister being in a worse situation, as her mother-in-law had come to make a scene.

If Xie Jinyan hadn't acted decisively by sending the person back and having them guarded, the Prime Minister's residence would probably be a scene of constant drama.

"Alright, have Yingchun go and invite my sister-in-law, the third young lady, and the fourth young lady over." Fang Shengtang instructed Yu Sheng to go out and call them.

Then Fang Ruotang waved to her, signaling her to stand closer, before explaining, "These past few days, we've received no less than a hundred invitations. Almost every family in the capital wants to get to know you through us."

"There are some families that our Prime Minister's residence can ignore, but there are quite a few families who are on par with us. It's not good to refuse them all. When my sister-in-law and the others arrive, we'll take a good look together and send invitations to the families we have a good relationship with."

The Prime Minister's mansion wields great power, and Fang Ruotang is the Imperial Advisor. However, the Prime Minister's mansion is not a lone wolf. Everyone knows that it is impossible to gain any benefits from meeting Fang Ruotang. It is just that repeated invitations and repeated rejections will inevitably offend people to death.

Although the Prime Minister's residence is currently fearless, there is no need for it.

"Okay!" Fang Ruotang happily agreed. Actually, she quite liked lively atmospheres, and most importantly, she could watch a show when there were many people around.

"Then send someone to tell the Crown Prince what we mean. If possible, send out the invitations."

"No need to ask, it's definitely possible. It's just that my brother, the Crown Prince, was worried that I'd be bored, so he asked me to invite some people to come and play with me."

Fang Shengtang insisted that Fang Ruotang ask the question.

After all, the Crown Prince was fully responsible for Fang Ruotang's safety, and there was a big difference between inviting three or five close friends and inviting thirty or fifty people.

"Alright!" Fang Ruotang always had people around her. As soon as she finished speaking, a man in black suddenly appeared and disappeared immediately upon receiving the order.

Lei Pingting and the others were in the manor, so they arrived faster than the Crown Prince. Regardless of whether the Crown Prince agreed or not, they could finalize the appointment of some people first.

There are four people, each with several close acquaintances who are hard to refuse, so together there are many people.

Fang Ruotang had few friends, so she thought for a moment and called Li Shiyun over, asking her to invite Madam Li to watch the play the next day. After all, the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other since Li Shiyun left the Li residence last time.

Fang Ruotang also sent an invitation to Cao Yuedi. Although the two were a generation apart in age and didn't get along well, Cao Yuedi visited the Prime Minister's residence to see her frequently, and was somewhat like her follower.

Besides these two, Fang Ruotang thought for a moment and realized she didn't know who else to invite, so she sent invitations to her older and younger cousins.

These invitations were from people Fang Ruotang wanted to invite, and the Crown Prince had no reason to disagree, so he sent a maid to deliver them first.

Subsequently, the Crown Prince also replied, stating that everything was up to Fang Ruotang.

The next day, after court, it was still early, so Fang Ruotang went to the East Palace with the Crown Prince for a meal, and then changed into a beautiful shimmering brocade outfit.

When the time was almost up, the Crown Prince also looked up from the memorials and changed into a black brocade robe with gold trim.

At first glance, the two are dressed differently.
