Luo Lingyu smiled. Huan'er's embroidery skills were actually not that good.

Luo Lingyu happily took the purse and acted surprised: "Give it to me?"

Luo Yunhua heaved a sigh of relief and waved her hand like a grown-up: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

The two sisters were sending gifts early in the morning, and the maids were surprised to know that today was Luo Lingyu's birthday. As a personal maid, Lingyu felt the most guilty and ashamed. Lingyu said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Even if you live in the Lu family, you shouldn't be careless about such an important event as a birthday, not to mention that this is a girl's 15th birthday."

A girl who has reached the age of fifteen can be allowed to marry.

Usually, the coming-of-age ceremony for noble ladies is not to be neglected. Lingyu still remembers how grand the coming-of-age ceremony of Lu Qingyi, the eldest lady of the Lu family, was before she got married. At that time, the emperor and the empress came to present the coming-of-age ceremony to the eldest lady of the Lu family...How come the Lu family did not do anything at all when it came to my cousin?

Luo Lingyu's eyes darkened: The only relative of the Lu family, Aunt Lu Ying, roughly knew her birthday. But the eldest aunt's attitude towards her has always been indifferent, and she probably doesn't remember her birthday at all. If Lu Ying doesn't remember, how can other people in the Lu family remember when my cousin's birthday is?

After all, she is living under someone else's roof and no one loves her.

Luo Lingyu felt bitter in her heart, but she tried to cover up for the Lu family: "It's nothing, just a birthday. My second cousin couldn't be found these two days, and everyone was busy. How could they have the mood to remember me? How can I be compared to my second cousin? I won't cause trouble for everyone at this time."

Lingyu thought about it and sighed. Indeed, even if she went to tell Mrs. Lu that today was her cousin's birthday, she would not let them hold a banquet to celebrate for her cousin - Lu Erlang was still unknown whether he was dead or alive, so what was there to celebrate?

Luo Lingyu's happy event was just a bonus to the Lu family and was not worth mentioning.

Luo Yunhua was eager to try: "We can close the gate and celebrate sister's birthday by ourselves..."

Luo Lingyu was reluctant. She was not rich, and her newly opened cosmetics shop had not made any money yet. She had to spend money on herself at this time, which was pretentious and meaningless. She waved her hand and said, "No need. His Royal Highness Prince Chen is hosting a banquet at Fangle Garden today. He also sent me an invitation. I will go to His Royal Highness Prince Chen's banquet and treat it as a birthday gift for myself."

Originally, she wanted Lu Yun to persuade King Chen to change the time, but then Fan Qingchen came and she lost her mood and forgot about it. Then Lu Erlang disappeared, and even if King Chen's banquet was changed, she couldn't hold it at Lu's house... Luo Lingyu simply shut up.

Luo Yunhua felt sad for her sister, but she pretended to be happy, but she came over to rub against her sister and hugged her shoulders. The young lady put her hand on Luo Lingyu's shoulder and said seriously: "Sister, your wish will definitely come true - marry a man of your dreams."

The maids in the house: "..."

Lingyu was amused by the young lady who looked like a child but very smart. She covered her mouth with a laugh. At the same time, to liven up the atmosphere, she joked, "Of course. Our Sanlang is both talented and handsome. He must be the ideal husband. Girl, don't you agree?"

Luo Lingyu blushed and said awkwardly: "How should I know! It has nothing to do with me, don't talk nonsense!"

Even though the maids in the house already knew about her ambiguous relationship with Lu Sanlang, they could not spread it around before reaching a conclusion. If the elders of the Lu family heard about it, they would say she was "frivolous" and "improper". But even though she warned the maids not to talk nonsense outside, Luo Lingyu felt a little sweet in her heart -

It turns out that everyone can see that Lu Xuechen has special feelings for her.

Does that mean that this is not her illusion, and Lu Xuechen really treats her differently from others?

Lu Yun said nothing to her, neither said he loved her nor showed her his affection, and never mentioned whether he would marry her or not… Even when she used Fan Qingchen’s marriage certificate to test Lu Yun and asked him to pretend to propose to her, Lu Yun just agreed casually. Luo Lingyu still couldn’t figure out whether he would marry her or not.

I'm afraid that in his heart he still dislikes her, looks down on her, and only treats her as an interesting toy to tease.

Luo Lingyu's eyes dimmed, and she couldn't tell anyone about her uneasiness. The maids all teased her and Lu Yun, but she herself couldn't see Lu Yun's heart. Love between men and women can make people entangled. A girl who is usually confident will always feel uneasy, doubtful, and hesitant in front of a certain person. She didn't even dare to ask... After trying to calm herself down and putting Lu Yun out of her mind, Luo Lingyu arranged today's affairs freely: "Didn't Lingyu sprain her foot two days ago? You don't have to go out. Lingxi, come with me to Huale Garden for the banquet today. And Huan'er..."

Luo Yunhua hurriedly said, "Today is my sister's birthday! My sister should give me a day off and let me go out and play."

Seeing her sister's expectant eyes, Luo Lingyu pursed her lips and smiled. She was in a good mood and agreed. She just told Luo Yunhuan to play in the Lu family yard and not go out. Lingyu and other maids watched the yard and took good care of the little sister. After giving these instructions, Luo Lingyu changed into a newly made skirt and covered it with a brocade half-sleeve. Then, she led the maid Lingxi and others out of the yard in an extremely graceful manner and went her own way with her sister.

When they got off the car at Fangle Garden, there were already many men and women in the garden. Luo Lingyu looked around the garden and didn't see the figure of King Chen, but she saw many noble men and women she knew. When she was about to go over and chat with everyone, she heard a voice behind her: "Sister Luo is here too?"

Looking back, I saw Zhou Lang just getting off the car.

The young man was of thin stature, with wide skirts, a jade crown and a wide belt, and a handsome face. As soon as he appeared on the stage, the girls who were still playing over there turned their heads to look at him.

Luo Lingyu walked towards Zhou Yangling and greeted him: "When I went to Zhou Lang's house that day, Prince Chen said that he would invite Zhou Lang to attend the banquet today. I saw that His Royal Highness Prince Chen was so serious about it, and I thought he would accompany you. Why is it that Zhou Lang came alone? Prince Chen is too disingenuous."

Zhou Yangling smiled and said helplessly, "It's just a game for gentlemen and ladies, nothing new. I didn't want to come, but he insisted that I come... Well, I'm here, but I don't know where His Royal Highness Prince Chen is?"
