After Du Jian and Gui Yue's wedding, Li Han was relieved. After all, her CP finally came to fruition, and all her efforts were worthwhile.

Li Han crossed his legs, cracked melon seeds, drank tea, and chatted with the system: "Well, I said they could make it. What character setting? Everything is under my control!"

"Okay, you are awesome, but I still want to remind you that if you insist on changing your character, you will have to bear the consequences yourself!" said the system.

Li Han, however, didn't take it seriously and said leisurely, "Don't worry, there can be no consequences. It's just the two of them getting together and then breaking up. I believe that with me here, the two of them will be able to love each other till old age and become a perfect couple!"

The system didn't say any more. After all, this was Li Han's own decision. Her every action would have an impact on the subsequent plot. As for what kind of impact it would be and whether Li Han could handle it, it all depended on Li Han's own luck.

The system asked, "By the way, do you have any thoughts on the suggestion I made earlier regarding Hua Yunyun?"

"Ah!" Li Han suddenly realized what was happening after being reminded by the system, and patted his head: "Look at my brain, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about this matter. There's still Hua Yunyun that I haven't dealt with!"

"Ah!" The system was a little speechless: "Alright, go ahead and do it yourself, I'm leaving!"

A hint of strategy flashed in Li Han's eyes, and he had an idea: "I got it, Hua Yunyun, you'll be in trouble!" Li Han was cracking melon seeds, very happy.

On the second day, Li Han invited all the young ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital to hold a banquet, called the Women's Banquet, on the grounds that she had escaped death.

Li Han was a princess, so naturally the ladies would not refuse when she held a banquet. Instead, they would be happy to attend. After all, being able to have a relationship with the princess would not only bring honor to themselves, but also bring glory to their family.

Many female relatives from the capital were invited, and Hua Yunyun was naturally included. Although Hua Yunyun did not have a noble family background, she was Lu Li's junior sister after all, and was also Lu Li's friend to the outside world. Based on this relationship, Li Han had no reason not to invite her.

Therefore, Li Han invited Hua Yunyun. After all, this banquet was specially prepared for her. If she didn't go, then this banquet would have no value in existence.

Hua Yunyun is currently embroidering a handkerchief with a pattern of mandarin ducks holding branches, implying that they wish to be a pair of wings in the sky and a pair of branches on the ground. Hua Yunyun still can't let go of Lu Li in her heart, and she is always thinking about getting married with Lu Li and loving each other.

At this time, a maid came up hurriedly. Hua Yunyun scolded her, "Why are you so anxious? Have you forgotten the rules?"

"Yes, I know I was wrong!" The maidservant immediately became respectful and handed the invitation in her hands to Hua Yunyun with both hands. "Miss, someone from the palace came and gave me an invitation letter, saying that they want to invite you to attend the women's banquet!"

Someone from the palace? An invitation? A banquet for the ladies?

Hua Yunyun put down her needlework, took the invitation, and after opening it, the first thing she saw were the two big words "Li Han".

"Li Han? Why would she suddenly invite me to a ladies' party?" Hua Yunyun looked at the invitation, frowning slightly, a little confused.

The maidservant beside her said, "Miss, you are Master Lu's junior sister after all. Given Master Lu's status in the capital, everyone who sees you should respect you. If the princess doesn't invite you, wouldn't it make her look petty?"

Hua Yunyun heard what the servant said and felt that she was right. She smiled and said, "Yes, my status is much higher than those ladies in the inner chambers. A bunch of fools want to compete with me. And that Li Han is quite sensible. She must respect and fear me because of Brother Li!"

"Yes, how can those women compare to the young lady? The young lady is so beautiful and charming, she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Hua Yunyun felt inexplicably delighted. She picked up her needle and thread again and said proudly as she embroidered, "I've been cooped up in my house for long enough. It's time to go out and make some friends with some famous ladies!"

"Then I will pack up the set that Lord Lu gave me and bring it out to you, as well as the new set of clothes I just made. Miss, you are so beautiful, if you dress up well, you will definitely outshine all the other girls!" The servant responded from the side.

"Okay, go ahead!" Hua Yunyun was very satisfied.

On the day of the banquet, Hua Yunyun really dressed up. The jewelry on her body were the most expensive ones given to her by Lu Li. They were rare in the world, and even the concubines in the palace might not have seen them. The clothes she wore were made of the best cloth, and were worth more than tens of millions. So at this moment, Hua Yunyun was extremely confident and appeared at the women's banquet with a proud look.

The ladies who came to the banquet were all young ladies from aristocratic families, so naturally they could not be sloppy. Li Han specially asked the queen to help her prepare, and the queen also loved Li Han very much, so the decoration and expenses on the scene were all the best and in accordance with royal standards.

Most of the daughters of wealthy families, princesses and county ladies in each mansion knew each other and came together. After all, their families had been working under the emperor for generations, and they had more or less some intricate connections. They would prosper together and suffer together, so the women in the inner chambers would naturally follow their own heads of families to interact with each other.

They walked into the banquet hall, chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but marvel at the high-standard layout of the banquet.

"The princess is truly blessed. The arrangement of this banquet is truly extraordinary. Look at the food, pastries, and the servants—they're all from the palace. It seems the empress really dotes on the princess!"

"Yes, the princess is in the prime of His Majesty's favor. When she was poisoned, His Majesty issued an imperial edict to recruit famous doctors from all over the world. This honor alone is a blessing that ordinary women like us can never achieve in eight lifetimes!"

…

The women's words revealed their endless envy for Li Han.

At this time, Li Han had not arrived yet, but the female relatives had all arrived one after another. Hua Yunyun had been staying indoors for many years and was somewhat alienated from these young ladies from aristocratic families, so only Hua Yunyun and her maid stood together.

Seeing Hua Yunyun being so arrogant, the maids, who were all proud and arrogant young ladies from wealthy families, naturally had tempers. They ignored Hua Yunyun and chatted on the side.

"Sister, your jade hairpin is so beautiful!"

"Thank you for the compliment, sister. This jade was found by chance by my brother in the Western Regions, and then crafted by a skilled craftsman. I have another piece. If you like it, I'll give it to you!"

"Seriously? Don't regret it later!"

…

The young ladies from aristocratic families had nothing to do every day, and all they could discuss were clothes, jewelry, and the like. Some of them compared themselves with each other, while others took this opportunity to expand their social circle, and they talked happily.

However, they completely ignored Hua Yunyun, leaving her aside and not paying any attention to her.
