Chapter 65

Seeing Han Yuxin's obedient appearance, Liu Yanran felt relieved instantly. So what if she is the Marquis's daughter? Now she still has to pay her respects to the daughter of the Minister of Rites, right?

They often quarreled when they were still unmarried. They just disliked each other and wanted to fight as soon as they met!

"Get up." The concubine said casually and went to chat with the prime minister's wife.

Liu Yanran watched Han Yuxin stand up with a smile on her face, and said with a smug look on her face, "How have you been these days, Sister Han? I haven't seen you for a long time since I got married. I wonder if you've found your ideal husband?"

Han Yuxin listened, lowered her head and sneered, "It won't be long, just half a month. Besides, how can I be as lucky as the princess? I've just gotten married and I already have a child. I can never catch up~"

Liu Yanran's face darkened instantly after hearing this. Han Yuxin really knows how to talk!

Han Yuxin looked at her and raised her eyebrows. "You little brat! You're so amazing! You're pregnant before marriage! And you still have the nerve to show off! You understand all her tricks and schemes!"

However... Han Yuxin thought about what she was going to do tonight, and the arrogance in her eyes disappeared. She didn't want to talk anymore, so she turned and left.

Liu Yanran looked at her back and gritted her teeth. After all, she was still the princess, and no matter how Han Yuxin married, she would never be higher than her!

The women who attended the banquet were all dressed up, their eyes naturally fixed on the emperor, who had no concubines in his harem. Many men also made elaborate efforts to attract Princess Gan Ning, who had just returned to the imperial city. Previously, she was an unattainable empress, but now that she was a princess, they all felt they could have a chance.

Lu Zehua was very dissatisfied when he saw Song Henian, who was wearing the same indigo robe as him! Song Henian was also dissatisfied!

Why won’t this thing give up?

The two of them stared at each other across the aisle until the emperor arrived.

When Zhou Erlan arrived, everyone was already seated, except for the two princesses of the Great Zhou.

The two were strolling around the palace, the princess's procession carrying lanterns, and only went to the main hall banquet hall when they had enough fun.

Tang Mitang was very embarrassed when he found out that he was late.

Her life as a princess was already awkward. She was canonized by the empress, but had no one to protect her. She never called herself a princess and seldom attended such grand occasions, causing people to often overlook the character of Princess Xingyue.

This was her first time being late for a palace banquet... If Zhou Xuanqing hadn't been walking so leisurely, Tang Mitang would have definitely rushed over. She used to be bad at dealing with people, and now that she was in the book, she had no friends other than Zhou Xuanqing.

Just like before, although she was a doctor with a promising future, she had no friends. Apart from Cheng Zixuan, who was willing to be her friend, she didn't even have anyone to talk to. Even her relationship was introduced by a colleague, and even when she witnessed infidelity, she didn't react at all.

She had never lived her life according to her own ideas. Everything had been arranged for her since she was a child. Her application for medicine was also arranged by her parents. Since her parents passed away, no one helped her with the trivial matters of life. She wanted to put down her work, travel, and have fun countless times every day, but in the end she didn't dare to do it.

After entering the book, she stood at the perspective of an observer. Except for letting herself go in front of Zhou Xuanqing and Chang Xi, she was alone at other times. She didn't feel lonely, she just felt normal.

Then she became a princess, and suddenly became a player in the game from a bystander. She was very scared and panicked. She was used to living under Zhou Xuanqing's protection. In the past two years, except for seeing patients in the pharmacy, she had never communicated with other people.

If she hadn't brought Zhou Xuanqing with her, she would have preferred to remain withdrawn as she had been before, rather than face the awkward conversation at the banquet. They weren't familiar with each other, yet they still had to respond to each other. It was tiring and unnecessary.

Zhou Xuanqing picked a flower slowly and looked at the brightly lit banquet hall in front of him, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

Tang Mitang followed her and didn't notice her changes. She was about to arrive. Stay calm and don't lose the name Xingyue.

"Princess Gan Ning has arrived~Princess Xingyue has arrived~"

As the singing began, Tang Mitang nervously held Zhou Xuanqing's hand. Seeing that she looked calm, she took a deep breath and entered the venue with a sweet smile.

"Royal sister~" Zhou Erlan came down from the upper seat, smilingly helped Zhou Xuanqing to sit next to her, and Tang Midang sat next to Zhou Xuanqing.

After they sat down, everyone began to look at Princess Gan Ning, whom they had not seen for a long time. She was wearing a lake blue dress with a wide-sleeved waist and silver stripes, and only a hairpin on her head. She was dressed simply like an ordinary woman, but her nobility could not be concealed, which made many young ladies feel inferior.

The most beautiful woman should be Princess Gan Ning!

Tang Mitang, wearing a light pink butterfly-patterned skirt and delicate makeup, looked equally stunning sitting next to Zhou Xuanqing. This led many people to compare their looks, wondering whether to choose the aloof Princess Gan Ning or the lovely Princess Xingyue.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was just like that. Young ladies from various families competed to perform and the emperor rewarded them one by one.

Zhou Xuanqing felt drowsy while watching these shows, his little head drooping constantly, looking very cute and adorable, which made Tang Mitang laugh secretly. Halfway through the banquet, Zhou Xuanqing went to Daming Palace to rest, taking Princess Xingyue with him.

After Han Yuxin finished her performance, she toasted the emperor with a glass of wine before leaving.

After a while, Zhou Erlan left first, and Han Yuxin disappeared with her.

Zhou Xuanqing and Tang Mitang missed a big show, and when the palace was in chaos, they were already sleeping in each other's arms in bed. Naturally, no one dared to disturb them.

When Tang Mitang woke up early the next morning, she was still in a daze when she saw Zhou Xuanqing holding up his head and looking at her. His amber pupils were full of inquiry, which made her shudder all over.

This look... is so similar to the way Zhou Xuanqing looked at me when they first met!

"What...what happened?" Tang Mitang woke up instantly, swallowed, and wanted to strategically step back a little, but found that her hands were still tightly clinging to Zhou Xuanqing's waist. She awkwardly spread out her fingers and wanted to let go.

Zhou Xuanqing blinked, and all the emotions in his eyes disappeared. He pouted and rubbed Tang Mitang's hair, saying, "Tang Mitang, I'm hungry."

"Are you hungry?" Tang Mitang saw that she was well-behaved and not at all like before, so he asked her back before saying, "Qingqing, are you hungry? Let's get up first and go cook."

"Okay~" Zhou Xuanqing said, then buried his head in the quilt to hide his emotions.

Her memory had been confused for a while, and she finally sorted it out last night. It turned out that Tang Mitang had this kind of thoughts about her.

No, it goes against social ethics, it must be cut off... ?

Well, she hesitated...
