Liu Shiyun lowered her eyes, her face calm: "Don't go too far."

"Okay, okay," Kong Mengyun said impatiently, waving his hand and saying, "Don't worry about it."

Seeing that she was impatient, Liu Shiyun changed the subject and chatted with her about other things. Then he went to several other places and delivered all the posts before returning.

After getting on the carriage, Cuixiang, who had been holding back for a whole day, finally couldn't help herself: "Miss, why are you helping me with this? Don't you know what the young master is thinking? The old master has already said that the eldest princess can never enter our Liu family."

"Do you need to say more about this?"

Liu Shiyun raised her eyes, her gaze calm and indifferent: "Do you think I don't know what you think of my brother? Be more restrained!"

After hearing this, Cuixiang blushed and whispered, "I am also helping the young lady..."

She knew that Liu Shiyun disliked Qin Peng, and she originally thought that she was just trying to flatter him, but she ended up hitting the horse's hoof instead.

Liu Shiyun glanced at her without saying anything. This maid was stupid, but she was always loyal. She didn't punish her and explained, "My brother has always been a man of his own ideas, so I just followed his lead. He asked me to help, and I have fulfilled my duty. The rest is not my business."

"As for whether Qin Peng can come in," Liu Shiyun said with a sneer in her eyes, "it's not up to my brother alone to decide."

Liu Shiyun went back and informed Liu Shuyan of the delivery of the post, and Liu Shuyan replied to Qin Peng the next day.

Qin Peng nodded. With Liu Shuyan's help, the Liu family should be given face.

She no longer worried about the guests and turned her attention to preparing for her first spring banquet as the eldest princess.

The most difficult part of the Spring Banquet was choosing a location, as the location determined the basic style of the entire banquet. Now that she had not built a princess's mansion, any empty space in the royal garden could be chosen by her to be the princess's mansion and then the venue for the banquet.

But she was not familiar with Xuanjing, and she didn't know where to open it decently, so she was a little absent-minded when she went to court.

Qin Shuhuai looked through the curtain and saw that the person inside seemed to be in a daze, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Although Qin Peng was lazy, she was active. She used to change her movements from time to time and whispered to Bai Zhi behind the curtain. But today, she remained motionless for a long time.

Now that the state affairs have been initially settled, there are no major events, only trivial matters that make the people below talk about it. Qin Shuhuai was distracted while looking at the curtain, wondering whether Qin Peng was feeling unwell or thinking about something.

He actually had something he wanted to ask Qin Peng.

He knew yesterday that Qin Peng had posted a message to everyone, and his subordinates wrote him a letter asking whether he wanted to go or not.

He replied decisively, Go!

She is holding her first spring banquet, you have to go.

After thinking for a while, he notified all the famous people under his name and briefly expressed the core idea: "The eldest princess is going to hold a banquet, you all go over there." Then he waited at home.

He thought, if Qin Peng was going to hold a banquet, he couldn't be left out, right?

After all, he is the Regent.

So he waited and waited for a long time last night, but there was no call from Qin Peng. He felt a little uneasy and wanted to ask after the morning court today.

As a result, Qin Peng was absent-minded during court this morning, and he felt even more uneasy, wondering if Qin Peng intended to deliver the invitation to him in person, but was sick, so did not come?

Actually, it is not necessary. If she wants to send an invitation, she can just tell him and he can pick it up himself.

Qin Shuhuai's mind was full of complicated thoughts. After thinking about the morning court session, Qin Peng stood up lazily. He finally couldn't help but called Qin Peng: "Princess, please stay."

Qin Peng turned around and saw Qin Shuhuai rolling up the curtain and walking in.

His expression was as cold and calm as ever, his hands folded in his sleeves, looking her up and down.

She was a little confused: "Prince?"

"Are you," Qin Shuhuai frowned, "feeling uncomfortable?"

"ah?"

Qin Peng was a little slow to react, and raised his hand to touch his face: "Am I haggard?"

After hearing this, Qin Shuhuai knew that she was not feeling unwell, so he turned around and walked down the stairs, lowering his eyes and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"No."

Qin Peng was a little suspicious, and Qin Shuhuai nodded.

"Together?"

Qin Peng turned his head and glanced at Bai Zhi, and they both came to a conclusion.

There is fraud, there must be fraud!

How could Qin Shuhuai, a man like him, take the initiative to invite you to dinner?

Qin Peng looked serious and said directly, "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please speak up."

Qin Shuhuai: "..."

It feels so difficult to invite Qin Peng to dinner. It was obviously not like this when I was Liu Shuyan.

She goes to all the mutton restaurants in Dongmen!

But he couldn't say it, so he lowered his eyes and said, "No, I just asked casually."

Oh, you're just being polite.

Is Qin Shuhuai so polite?

Qin Peng still found it a little strange, but she couldn't think of any other reason.

After leaving the palace, Qin Shuhuai saw Qin Peng going to the waterside pavilion to study with Qin Ming again, and finally couldn't help but said, "I heard that the princess is going to hold a spring banquet. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Oh, Your Majesty has heard about it too," Qin Peng smiled and said casually, "I'm just looking for a place."

When Qin Shuhuai heard this, he understood in his heart that although Qin Peng had stayed in Qi for so many years, as a widow, she seldom went out. Moreover, as a princess widow who was bullied, it was even more difficult for her to find a suitable place.

Qin Shuhuai thought about it for a while and suggested, "There is a garden in the suburbs. I have an old relationship with the owner. If the princess needs it, you might as well buy the garden."

This yard was originally prepared by Qin Shuhuai for Zhao Peng.

Although Zhao Peng is gone, he still tries his best to prepare all the things that Zhao Peng likes. He always thinks, what if she comes back one day?

Now that she's finally back, it's time for him to hand over the things to her.

He carefully selected his words, his expression calm, "Princess, you can go to the garden and take a look. It's in the peach blossom forest southwest of the city."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Qin Peng answered nonchalantly. She felt that Qin Shuhuai was just casually mentioning a place out of politeness.

The two chatted casually for a few more words and then parted ways. Qin Peng turned around and went to the water pavilion. When he changed his clothes and entered the water pavilion, he saw Liu Shuyan was already teaching Qin Ming.

She hunched over as if she was a student who had done something naughty. Liu Shuyan noticed her coming, raised his head, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Qin Peng found his seat and sat down. At this time, Qin Ming was practicing calligraphy. Liu Shuyan walked behind Qin Peng and watched her annotating the memorial with admiration in his eyes: "The calligraphy is good, but it lacks some strength."

As he spoke, he bent slightly and held Qin Peng's hand, as if he was holding Qin Peng in his arms.

Qin Peng's heart was beating fast, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly. Liu Shuyan turned to look at her with a gentle expression: "When writing, you have to hold the pen steadily."

Qin Peng calmed down and nodded, "Master, you are right."

At this time, Qin Shuhuai had just stepped into the waterside corridor. Looking from a distance, she saw Liu Shuyan holding her hand and teaching her how to write.

She looked up from time to time and said something to him with a smile.

Qin Shuhuai stopped and looked at the scene quietly.

He felt that he could almost hear what she was saying, because he had taught her the same thing many years ago when she had just started to learn to read.

He was still a teenager at that time. Her handwriting was so ugly that it was crooked after she wrote it several times. The teacher said that she would check her handwriting and would be punished with a stick if it was not good enough.

He was a little anxious, so he couldn't help but hold her hand and said seriously, "That's it."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, be gentler here..."

Qin Shuhuai told her seriously, held her hand, and wrote her name stroke by stroke.

Zhao Peng.

"What's your name?"

She looked up at him with a teasing smile in her eyes. He didn't understand, so he held her hand and continued to write his name.

Qin Shuhuai.

After she finished writing, she suddenly moved.

In fact, it is not an ugly word at all. It is written neatly after two people’s names - forever tied together.
