On the day of the Qianqiu Festival palace banquet, when Qin Wen'er was finally allowed to step out of the Jinxiu Palace, he felt as if he was in another world.

Since coming to this shabby place, he has been imprisoned at home like a woman.

Listening to Qin Shiguan talk about "Male Virtue" and "Male Training" every day is almost making him sick.

Qin Wen'er was dressed very formally today. He wore an elaborate palace costume that symbolized his status as a princess, and his hair was adorned with gold hairpins and jade beads.

In his previous life, he liked to see women dressing themselves up beautifully, but when all these things were added to him now, he found that they were so heavy that it was very inconvenient for him to walk, sit or lie down.

Qin Wen'er irritably pulled at the Adam's apple strap around his neck. People here think that a man's Adam's apple is a very private thing, so it must be covered with a strap.

He just thought this thing was annoying at first, but now that he has worn it for a long time, he feels even more that this so-called Adam's apple strap is like an invisible chain around his neck.

It was as if he was not a serious man, but a pet kept by his wife.

Riding in the same carriage with Qin Wen'er were Ling Shumo and Xue Wu.

This was the first time Xue Wu saw the princess who had been confined in Jinxiu Palace.

He just felt that the princess's behavior was extremely rude, as if she had ADHD. She couldn't even sit still. She would tug at her collar and move her Adam's apple.

Xue Wu turned his head and carefully observed Ling Shumo's expression.

There was no trace of Qin Wen'er in Ling Shumo's eyes.

Xue Wu was a little unsure whether Ling Shumo hated Qin Wen'er's inappropriate appearance or she was willing to indulge Qin Wen'er's madness and mischief.

Ling Shumo, who was originally staring out the window in a daze, found that Xue Wu was looking at her. Her hand suddenly had its own ideas and climbed up Xue Wu's chest restlessly. In the end, she simply pressed him into her arms.

Qin Wen'er's face became extremely ugly. Although he knew that Ling Shumo had found several wild men outside, this was the first time he faced such a situation.

Qin Wen'er stood up suddenly. His face was so haggard that even makeup couldn't cover it up. Anger was surging on his face, but when the dirty words came to his lips, his mind was full of Ling Shumo's cold face, saying that she would cut off his tongue.

Qin Wen'er's chest was heaving violently with anger. In the end, he had no choice but to sit back in his original position with frustration, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, as if he could not hear the ringing if he covered his ears.

After all, today Ling Shumo was taking Xue Wu to a formal occasion, so her movements were not excessive. After she glanced at the person next to her, she sat up very seriously.

Xue Wu carefully drew her eyebrows and painted her eyes today, and specially chose this bright blue long dress, just to make a good impression in front of the king and queen.

If Ling Shumo messed up Xue Wu's clothes, and he appeared at the palace banquet in disheveled clothes, and was seen by others, it would be a disgrace to the Eastern Palace.

No conversation along the way.

The carriage traveled unimpeded to Changle Palace before stopping.

The palace banquet has not yet begun and the emperor and empress have not arrived yet.

Ling Shumo found a place to sit down at random, and immediately a guest came up and wanted to chat with her.

Ling Shumo had no intention of dealing with those officials, so Shi Qi kept all the irrelevant people out.

Xue Wu stood beside Ling Shumo, his fingers unconsciously stirring the handkerchief in his hand, obviously nervous.

The Qianqiu Festival is the birthday of the King and Queen.

At such a grand palace banquet, the king and queen specifically asked to see him. No matter how he mentally prepared himself, he still couldn't calm down.

Ling Shumo was just about to say a few words to comfort him when the voice of "The Lord and Queen have arrived..." rang out from the front, causing everyone present to stand up.

After the Queen and the other palace attendants exchanged a few polite words, his gentle gaze fell on Ling Shumo, "You haven't come to Fengyi Palace to pay your respects to me for several days. You are such a heartless person."

Although the Queen scolded Ling Shumo like this, everyone knew that he loved her.

Ling Shumo said a few pleasant words.

The Queen then looked at Xue Wu.

Xue Wu was a hundred times more charming and attractive than he had imagined.

Xue Wu immediately knelt on the ground and paid great respects to the Queen.

His heart was pounding, but fortunately he remained calm on the surface and did not get so nervous as to make mistakes and make a fool of himself by those present.

The attendant Yingxi brought up a box made of pear wood. The Queen took out a white jade hairpin from it and personally inserted it into Xue Wu's bun. "Don't be so scared. I like you very much. Lift your head and let me take a good look at your pretty face."

Xue Wu had completely calmed down by this time. He stood very respectfully and humbly opposite the king and queen, so that the person on the high seat could see his face at the clearest angle.

The Queen looked at Xue Wu and liked him more and more. He took off a string of silver-white beads from his wrist and put it on Xue Wu's hand.

Other fathers might worry that the prince would seduce their daughter, but the queen wishes all handsome men could get close to her daughter.

As long as Ling Shumo can ignore that slut Qin Wen'er, then she will be a good kid who can help him solve his problems.

After the appreciation, according to the procedure, we should also give some instructions.

The Queen said, "Xue Wu, although Shu Mo loves you, you should also remember your duty as a servant of the King."
