This was the first time that Lian Yiyi appeared in front of so many people in a few months. She dressed up carefully in the house and was the last one to appear in the house.

When Lian Yan saw Lian Yiyi's makeup and clothes, he was stunned for a moment.

An angry look immediately appeared on his face. He said to Lian Yiyi, "Who told you to dress like this? Go back and change immediately!"

Lian Yiyi seemed frightened by Lian Yan's attitude. She trembled all over and hid behind Mrs. Lian in fear, whispering, "Mother."

Mrs. Lian looked at Lian Yan unhappily, her eyes slightly red.

She grabbed Lian Yiyi's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, your mother is here, no one can bully you."

Lian Yiyi suffered a lot in the nunnery. She lost a lot of weight, had a melancholy look on her face, and became much less courageous.

"Master," Mrs. Lian looked at Lian Yan, "It took a lot of effort for our Yiyi to come back. You may not know how much this child has suffered, but I know it very well.

Don’t you know how many Buddhist scriptures she copied every day to pray for blessings for her family?

"Yiyi is just dressing up now," Mrs. Lian glanced at Lian Yiyi and frowned. In fact, she didn't like Lian Yiyi's outfit, which was too plain. "Although it is a bit plain, isn't she doing this for the sake of her family and not wanting to dress too ostentatiously?"

Xie Yunjiao looked in the direction of Lian Yiyi. Lian Yiyi was wearing a pure white dress with only a circle of plain yellow flowers embroidered on her shoulders.

Moreover, Lian Yiyi's hair accessories were also very simple, with only a jade hairpin.

This is not like Lian Yiyi's previous style at all. She used to like bright colors the most and wanted to wear all the colors on herself.

Mrs. Lian may feel that Lian Yiyi has really improved her character after spending some time in the nunnery.

But Xie Yunjiao didn't think so. She felt that if Lian Yiyi really wanted to wear something plain, she wouldn't have stayed in the house for so long before coming out dressed like this.

Lian Yiyi had a purpose, but she was not very clear about what it was.

"Dad, today is the day when my sister-in-law is being conferred a title. I just don't want to steal her limelight. I don't have any other intentions." Lian Yiyi said in a low voice.

Lian Yan did not give up. He insisted that Lian Yiyi change her clothes, otherwise he would not let Lian Yiyi attend the banquet.

"Yiyi has finally come back. Do you have to be so mean to her?" Mrs. Lian asked someone to bring a cloak for Lian Yiyi to put on.

"We're almost late, and you don't want us to be late, do you?" Mrs. Lian paused and continued, "As long as Yiyi keeps wearing her shawl, won't everything be fine?"

Lian Yan thought about it and then said, "Okay, that's it. You can't take off the shawl."

Lian Yiyi responded softly with "OK", and the matter was over.

Lian Yiyi got on the carriage and nestled in Mrs. Lian's arms. She said sadly, "Mom, I've been so patient, why does Dad still embarrass me?"

Mrs. Lian also began to feel sad. She gently patted Lian Yiyi's hand and comforted her, "I think your father is still angry. If you behave more in front of him in the future, maybe he won't be angry with you anymore."

Lian Yiyi hummed, nestled in Mrs. Lian's arms, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Lian hugged Lian Yiyi with great joy, and kept saying that Lian Yiyi had suffered a lot and had lost so much weight. She would ask the servants to cook more supplements for her and help her take good care of her body.

She didn't notice the change in Lian Yiyi's expression at all.

After a while, they arrived at the palace gate and everyone got off the car.

Lian Yan waited for Lian Yiyi to get off the car, and only after seeing the cloak on her did he walk forward with satisfaction.

Lian Yiyi looked at Lian Yan's back, a glimmer in her eyes.

A group of people came to the Imperial Garden together, where many people were already waiting. When everyone saw Lian Yiyi, they were obviously stunned.

"How dare she come to such an occasion?"

"She has brought shame upon the entire family. Look at her, she's only in her teens, yet she dresses so plainly. Does she think she's still in Jingxin Nunnery?"

Everyone laughed.

Lian Yiyi couldn't help but hold Mrs. Lian's hand tighter.

"Yiyi, don't pay attention to them. Let them say whatever they want." Mrs. Lian said in a low voice.

She wanted to scold those people with a clear conscience, but Lian Yiyi had indeed stayed in Jingxin Temple and had done some shameful things.

If a quarrel breaks out at this time, I'm afraid Lian Yiyi will be even more ashamed.

"Mom, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to get some fresh air somewhere else." Lian Yiyi said.

Mrs. Lian looked in the direction of Lian Yan and found that he was talking to someone else and didn't pay attention to them, so she said to Lian Yiyi, "Go ahead. It's uncomfortable to listen to these gossipy people talking nonsense here anyway.

Do you want your mother to accompany you?"

Lian Yiyi said hurriedly: "No, I want to be alone."

Mrs. Lian said, "Well, then, don't go too far. It would be bad if you're not back by the time the party starts."

Lian Yiyi responded and left.

Xie Yunjiao came over and asked Mrs. Lian, "Where's Yiyi? Where did she go?"

Mrs. Lian glanced at Xie Yunjiao unhappily and said, "What's it got to do with you?"

Xie Yunjiao's face darkened and she said unhappily, "Aunt Qiao, don't forget, we are a family, and we share honor and disgrace.

If anything happens to her in the palace, our whole family will suffer.

You told me all this before, why do you need me to teach you now? Are you getting more and more confused?"

"You!" Mrs. Lian looked at Xie Yunjiao angrily, but she didn't want to really lose her temper. After all, what Xie Yunjiao said was absolutely right, and this was indeed the situation now.

She had no choice but to say, "Yiyi just feels uncomfortable here and wants to go out for some fresh air. She'll be fine."

Xie Yunjiao said, "Even so, you should still go and accompany her, lest something really happens and implicate us."

Mrs. Lian wanted to say something to refute, but in the end she left in a hurry without saying anything.

In fact, she was also worried. If something happened again this time, Yiyi's life would be over!

Lian Yiyi was walking on the path in the Imperial Garden when a palace maid suddenly appeared and the two exchanged glances.

Lian Yiyi immediately followed her to a path and said, "The emperor is nearby, you can seize the opportunity."

The maid paused and said, "But the master said that the opportunity has been given to you. Whether you succeed or not has nothing to do with him."

Lian Yiyi gritted her teeth and said, "If I don't succeed, I will die."

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you."

Having said that, the palace maid stepped aside.

At this moment, a bright yellow figure walked towards Lian Yiyi.
