Back at the original spot, Guo Luoluo slowed down her horse and stopped. She jumped off the horse first, and then pulled Heyue off the horse as well.

Heyue stood on the ground, her smile as bright as a blooming flower. Just as she was about to say something, Guoluoshi turned and walked away.

He Yue looked over and saw Guo Luoluo looking at Yu Xiu with admiration in her eyes: "Your riding skills are quite good, I like them very much. It is fate that we met today. On the fifth day of the ninth month, I am inviting many young ladies to watch a play at Prince An's mansion. Why don't you come along?" She then turned to Yan Yue and smiled slightly: "You and your sister can also go."

Yan Yue immediately clapped her hands and cheered, "Great! Great!" Yan Yue never misses anything fun, so she was overjoyed to hear that she was going to see a play.

At this moment, Yuxiu felt a bit more appreciative of Guo Luoluo before her, her eyes brightening as she nodded slightly: "I would be honored to comply."

Guo Luoluo smiled with satisfaction, turned around and mounted her horse. She glanced at Heyue to the side and smiled slightly: "Little sister, you are not bad either. I look forward to your arrival."

With that, he whipped his whip and drove away.

Heyue watched her retreating figure with a sense of loss, but then she smiled happily at the thought that she would see her again in a few days.

"Seventh Sister, what are you laughing at?" Yan Yue asked, puzzled by her sister's happy smile.

Heyue snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, I just had a lot of fun today. Don't you think so, Sixth Sister? Horse riding is so much fun."

Yan Yue scratched her head, feeling confused. She thought to herself, "I've never seen you so happy before," but she didn't ask any more questions.

Yu Xiu smiled and said, "I am very happy to have met my match today."

...

It was already the fifth day of the ninth lunar month. That afternoon, Heyue and Yanyue arrived at Prince An's residence together.

After showing the invitation, I entered Prince An's mansion under the guidance of a maid. I made my way through the winding streets to the pavilion where we would watch the opera.

"This Prince An's mansion is really big, much bigger than the Fourth Prince's mansion," Yan Yue exclaimed in admiration.

He Yue nodded in agreement, especially since it was much more exquisite than the Fourth Prince's, with many artificial hills and pavilions.

Upon entering the second floor of a pavilion, they found many women had arrived, including many of Yan Yue's close friends. They pulled He Yue along and started playing with them.

"Oh, you're here too? You look so beautiful today," someone exclaimed as soon as they came up.

Yan Yue said smugly, "Of course, you look beautiful today too." She wasn't embarrassed at all and returned the compliment.

"What's wrong with you these days? You haven't come to see me in so long." The other complained, but her eyes and brows were also full of joy.

"I've been busy, haven't I? I'll definitely come visit you another day." Yan Yue showed no sign of guilt, her face still beaming with a smile.

"Is this your younger sister? She's so cute." One of them said, his eyes lighting up when he saw Heyue.

"That's right, my sister Zhao Jiayan is the best." Hearing her sister being praised made Yan Yue even happier than if she were being praised herself.

Heyue smiled to herself, probably because only her sixth sister would openly praise herself and her younger sister like that.

As soon as these arrogant words were uttered, many young ladies covered their mouths and laughed, their eyes full of mockery, not finding the words arrogant at all.

"Hmph, you're getting more and more shameless, saying all sorts of things."

Wanyan Mingshuang walked in, glancing at Yan Yue with an arrogant look, her words filled with disdain.

Upon seeing her mortal enemy, Yan Yue's pretty face immediately darkened, and she coldly snorted, "At least you're not as pretentious and annoying as some people."

It goes without saying who they're referring to.

The people in the room fell silent. These two were notoriously at odds, and neither of them wanted to get involved in the lawsuit, but they had already begun to whisper among themselves.

Some who were on good terms with Wanyan stood with her. Upon hearing this, they sneered, "Sister Wanyan, we don't need to bother with her. She's just a barbarian."

Wanyan's face, which had been ashen with anger, suddenly returned to a smile. She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Hmph, ignorant."

After saying that, he surprisingly ignored Yan Yue and went to sit down.

Yan Yue was greatly surprised. Had Wanyan taken the wrong medicine? Why was she giving up so easily?

However, she couldn't be bothered with this annoying guy; it was better that he wasn't in her sight.

The group sat down in their respective seats, and the servants brought tea and melon seeds. They chatted and ate melon seeds at the same time.

Soon after, Yuxiu entered, accompanied by her maid. Upon seeing Heyue, she immediately came to greet her.

Heyue stood up, greeted her, and sat down next to her.

"You've finally arrived! We've been here for ages!" He Yue said with a smile, taking her hand.

Yuxiu smiled, pursing her lips.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Hey, who's that? So handsome!"

Out of curiosity, the group crowded to the window, gazing outside and whispering happily.

Yan Yue was also very curious and went forward to take a look, with He Yue and Yu Xiu following behind.

Downstairs, several young men, led by a eunuch, walked over and entered the south-facing pavilion.

Someone recognized the people and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Eighth Master and the others? I didn't expect them to come too."

"Of course, I heard that Princess Dorogge and the Eighth Prince are getting married next year, so of course I have to come and support them," someone who knew the situation said.

The others were all filled with envy: "Princess Duoluo is so lucky. She only came to watch the opera, but Eighth Prince came to support her, and even brought Ninth Prince and Tenth Prince with her. It was truly a worthwhile trip."

"We can only be envious. Princess Duoluo is the niece of Consort Yi, and is favored by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Who can compare to her?" someone sighed dejectedly.

"Who knows, we might win the favor of the other princes. Even if we can't compare to Princess Duoluo, being a concubine would be enough." Some people said with envy and anticipation.
