Xiao Yu chuckled softly, "The Emperor does find you amusing. However," he suddenly leaned closer, "from now on, when you enter the palace, I will accompany you to prevent anyone from doing anything bad."

Shen Weiwan felt warm in her heart, but she said, "Your Highness, are you afraid that I will embarrass you?"

"I'm afraid you'll make the Emperor forget his morning court." Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "Come on, I'll take you to the Imperial Kitchen to get some delicious food. I heard they've just made some steamed cheese with sugar."

The two of them walked towards the imperial kitchen, chatting and laughing, and did not notice Liu's resentful gaze behind the rockery.

"Mom, what should we do now?" Shen Ruorou's voice trembled with fear.

A fierce glint flashed in Liu's eyes: "Let's do this once and for all! Doesn't Chen Weiwan know how to write poetry? Let her write a poem that's suitable for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. If she doesn't do it well, I will make sure she is doomed!"

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is coming soon. When Shen Weiwan received the invitation, Chuntao was very nervous: "Miss, Liu must have bad intentions!"

"Don't worry," Shen Weiwan played with the invitation, "when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Isn't it just writing a poem? This lady has never been afraid of anyone!"

She turned to Chuntao and said, "Go, bring me my collection of folk jokes. I want to prepare a great gift for the Emperor and all the nobles!"

Chuntao felt at ease watching her young lady's confident look. She knew her young lady could always turn danger into safety and even make the enemy jump in anger.

At this moment in the palace, the emperor was holding the manuscript of Shen Weiwan's last poem and said to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, I want Shen Aiqing to write a final poem with the theme of 'The Moon'. Let's see what she can come up with!"

Xiao Yu bowed and said, "Your son obeys your order." He knew in his heart that this palace banquet would probably be disrupted by Shen Weiwan again.

Sure enough, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, when Shen Weiwan stood up to compose the "Moon Poem", the whole room fell silent. Liu and Shen Ruorou sat in the corner with smug smiles on their faces, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Chen Weiwan cleared her throat and said aloud: "The moon is round and bright, making Liu feel uneasy. She wanted to scheme and show off, but in the end, everything was in vain..."

Before the poem was finished, the emperor was already laughing so hard that he was rolling back and forth. Liu's face flushed and paled, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Shen Ruorou was so angry that she was shaking all over, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Shen Weiwan acted as if she hadn't seen it and continued to recite: "The moon is bright, the moon is bright, it makes good people feel at ease. The Seventh Prince is by my side, protecting Weiwan from getting hurt..."

When she read this, she secretly glanced at Xiao Yu, and seeing the smile in his eyes, her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

The guests were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. The Seventh Prince was protecting Miss Shen? This was huge news!

The emperor laughed so hard that tears came to his eyes. "Great! What a wonderful 'Seventh Prince, by my side'! My dear Lord Shen, is there any deep meaning in this poem of yours?"

Xiao Yu stepped forward and said, "Father, Miss Shen and I are good friends. It is only natural that we should take care of each other."

"Oh? Friend?" The emperor gave him a meaningful look. "Isn't it more than I can see?"

Shen Weiwan quickly interjected: "Your Majesty, I am just telling the truth. The Seventh Prince has indeed helped me out many times. He is a very good man!"

"Hahaha!" the emperor laughed. "Okay, okay! Since you're such a good person, I'll make the decision and let Xiao Yu take better care of you!"

When Liu heard this, she almost fainted. Wasn't this a disguised marriage? She wanted to stop it, but the emperor's look forced her back.

After the palace banquet ended, Shen Weiwan followed Xiao Yu out of the palace. The moonlight shone on the two of them, casting long shadows.

"Your Highness," Shen Weiwan couldn't help but ask, "What did the emperor say just now..."

Xiao Yu stopped and turned to look at her. The moonlight reflected in his eyes, so gentle that it could drip water: "Wei Wan, don't you understand what the emperor means?"

Shen Weiwan’s heartbeat accelerated, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Xiao Yu gently lifted her chin, his voice low and gentle: "Wei Wan, marry me, okay?"

Shen Weiwan looked at the seriousness in his eyes, thought of the misery of her previous life, and then looked at the warmth of this life. She nodded vigorously, but tears couldn't help falling: "Okay!"

Xiao Yu smiled and wiped away her tears: "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

"I'm happy!" Shen Weiwan burst into laughter, "I'm happy to meet His Highness, happy to live a decent life!"

The two smiled at each other, and under the moonlight, everything seemed so beautiful.

At this moment in the Liu Mansion, after learning the result of the palace banquet, Liu Shi was so angry that she smashed all the porcelain. Shen Ruoruo was crying beside her, but Liu Shi pushed her away and said, "Why are you crying! Shen Weiwan can marry the Seventh Prince, I don't believe my daughter can't marry someone better!"

A hint of madness flashed in her eyes: "Go! Prepare a sedan chair for me! I want to go find the Queen Mother! Even if I risk my life, I will not let Shen Weiwan get married!"

A new storm is brewing quietly. But Shen Weiwan is not afraid, because she knows that with Xiao Yu by her side, no matter what difficulties she encounters, she can face them with a smile. In this life, she not only wants to live a wonderful life, but also live beautifully, and make all those who bullied her pay the price!

The next day, a new saying spread throughout the capital: "The Emperor granted the Seventh Prince a marriage, and Weiwan beamed with joy. Liu was so angry that she cursed him in the street, only to be laughed at by the people!"

Shen Weiwan listened to the laughter outside the window, leaning in Xiao Yu's arms, feeling unprecedented peace of mind. She knew that her good days had just begun.
