The Lantern Festival was here, and Li Han and Lu Li arrived at the palace early in response to the Queen's decree.

Whether inside or outside the palace, the Lantern Festival is a festival with special significance. People outside the palace reunite with their families and express their love. The ten-mile-long streets are filled with laughter and joy. The lake in the city is filled with lanterns with wishes written on them. Some pray for good weather in the coming year, some pray for their parents' health and longevity, and some pray for themselves to pass the imperial examinations... Everyone conveys their love on the day of the Lantern Festival with the best intentions for the future.

The palace is naturally not as good as the outside world, and it is impossible to be as casual as the outside world, but it is not so unimportant either. The emperor and all the royal relatives and concubines will celebrate the Lantern Festival together on this day and drink together, so the palace is very busy on this day.

Li Shu was very happy to learn that Li Han and Lu Li were going to celebrate the Lantern Festival in the palace. After all, this was the first time she celebrated the festival with Li Han since returning to the palace, and she was very excited.

She had been waiting for Li Han outside the palace gate early: "Royal sister, Royal sister!" When Li Shu saw Li Han, she rushed over and gave her a big hug.

"Okay, come down quickly. You're such a big person, I'm almost crushed to death by you!" Li Han was almost unable to breathe because of Li Shu's pressure.

"So exciting!" Li Shu joked.

Li Han shook his head helplessly. At this time, Lu Li said, "Hurry up and pay your respects to the Queen Mother. Don't delay!"

Afterwards, Li Han and the other three went to the Queen's palace to pay their respects. The Queen was very happy to see them.

"Okay, An has been invited, so go ahead. I think Shu'er is getting anxious to death!" The queen smiled as she looked at Li Shu who was holding Li Han tightly at the side. It seemed as if Li Shu was afraid that Li Han would run away.

"Shu'er thanks mother!" Li Shu was very happy to hear the queen's words, and hurriedly said to Li Han: "Royal sister, let me take you to see my room. You haven't been there yet!" Before he finished speaking, Li Shu pulled Li Han out.

Lu Li originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by the Queen: "Lu Li, please stay here first. I have something to tell you!"

Li Han saw that Lu Li was left behind, and looked at him worriedly from afar. Lu Li responded with a reassuring look, and his mouth said, don't worry, it's okay.

"I wonder what the Queen wants to say by keeping me here?" Lu Li said respectfully to the Queen.

The Queen stood up with the help of the palace maids beside her, and walked slowly and gracefully to Lu Li's side: "Lu Li, I have high hopes for you, please don't let me down!"

Hearing the Queen's tone, Lu Li thought that he had done something wrong and angered her, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Your humble servant will do his utmost to protect Li Han. I will be absolutely loyal and will devote myself to her until my death!"

The Queen nodded in satisfaction. "As a citizen of the Li Kingdom, and more importantly, as a general of the Li Kingdom, you must do what you just said. I certainly won't deliberately remind you of this. I didn't keep you this time for this matter, but for Li Han!"

Li Han? Lu Li was a little confused.

"I have always liked Li Han. The imperial family is the most ruthless. As the eldest princess, she is naturally different from Li Shu and the others. She has more responsibilities to bear. His Majesty also has high hopes for her. However, in the future, Li Han has you by her side, with you accompanying her, and facing all the unknowns of the future with her. I am really relieved and happy, and I am happy for Li Han!"

The Queen spoke earnestly and was very moved. She really cared a lot about Li Han. Lu Li also heard the Queen's good intentions and felt relieved that Li Han had a mother like the Queen.

Lu Li immediately straightened up and said to the Queen with a serious expression, "I, Lu Li, swear to heaven that I will treat Li Han as precious as my own life. I will never let her feel sad or cry. I will protect her life and make her happy and safe, even if it means death!"

"Good!" The Queen was delighted and satisfied with Lu Li's answer. "Lu Li, remember what you said today. If you break your promise today, this palace and His Majesty will not forgive you!"

"Lu Li always keeps his word and will never go back on his word!" Lu Li promised the queen.

Even if the Queen didn't talk to Lu Li today, Lu Li had already made up his mind to spend his entire life protecting Li Han. After all, he had given his entire heart to Li Han and it couldn't be taken back.

Li Han was pulled by Li Shu all the way, and unfortunately they were seen by Li Yuan on the road. Li Yuan had been holding a grudge against Li Han ever since he was humiliated by her last time, and he wanted to find a chance to take revenge on her. When he saw Li Han this time, he felt that the time had come.

He walked calmly past Li Han and Li Shu, then silently threw a jade pendant from his sleeve to Li Han's feet.

Then, Li Yuan suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, where is my jade pendant? This is a gift from my father. What should I do?"

Li Han and Li Shu stopped when they heard Li Yuan's voice, thinking that they could watch the fun. At this moment, Li Han suddenly felt as if he stepped on something. He moved to the side and found that it was a jade pendant. He wondered if it belonged to Li Yuan, so he picked it up.

Li Han was holding the jade pendant and was about to call out to Li Yuan, but Li Yuan shouted before her: "Royal sister, why are you holding my jade pendant? Did you steal it when I was passing by?"

Li Yuan spoke loudly, which quickly attracted other people's attention and attracted many maids and guards to watch.

The current situation is that Li Yuan is talking to himself, and what he says sounds like the truth. Moreover, the onlookers seem to believe Li Yuan as well, pointing fingers at Li Han. The current situation is that the gossips of many people can melt gold, and I am afraid that I can't explain myself even if I have a mouth.

This scene was exactly what Li Yuan wanted, but Li Shu couldn't stand it any longer. It was obvious that Li Yuan was deliberately setting a trap for Li Han. He snatched the jade pendant from Li Han's hand, walked up to Li Yuan with an imposing smile on his face and said, "Third brother, this is your jade pendant, right? I'm giving it back to you!"

Li Yuan refused to accept it: "This is evidence of your theft, I don't want it!"

Li Shu snorted coldly: "Evidence of theft?" Then he kicked Li Yuan and knocked him to the ground: "Go to hell with your evidence!" Then he threw the jade pendant to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was full of vigor and vitality, how could he tolerate this? He immediately got up, his face darkening, and the murderous aura seemed to want to kill Li Shu immediately.

However, Li Han immediately stepped forward to protect Li Shu. At this moment, Imperial Concubine Song suddenly arrived and shouted, "Is the Princess planning to punish Li Shu privately?" Imperial Concubine Song was very domineering: "No matter how wrong Li Yuan is, he is still a prince, and you are just a princess. Since ancient times, it has never been the case that a princess can teach a prince a lesson. Even if someone wants to teach a prince a lesson, only his mother, the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty can do so. You are overstepping your bounds!"

Li Han looked at Concubine Song's attitude and feared that she had come with ill intentions, so he said, "In that case, let's ask our father to make the decision!" Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Concubine Song's men.
