Qin Qingyao said, "This person is indeed talented and insightful, but he is very low-key. No one knows who he is. How can we notify him?"
"Just put up a notice in your shop. After he sees it, he can take the imperial edict and enter the palace!"
If he didn't see it and missed it, then he could only blame his bad luck.
Qin Qingyao had no idea what the Harvest Festival was.
But for Zhaoling, this festival is really important. On October 10th, the people have finished harvesting their crops and the landlords have almost finished collecting the rent.
Everyone has food and time to celebrate.
So every year is extremely grand.
Logically speaking, wouldn't such an important day be the perfect stage for the heroine to shine? But why doesn't the original novel mention it?
Unless, she didn't participate at all!
Come to think of it, Lin Xiafeng is a concubine's daughter. No matter how beautiful she is, how popular she is, or how much Prince Duan loves her, she is still a concubine's daughter.
She is not qualified to enter such a formal occasion.
It was destined from birth that she was not qualified to enter such a solemn and grand occasion, so even if Prince Duan wanted to bring her in, he really couldn't bring her in.
A festival where you don’t have to watch the heroine perform awesome deeds to shock the whole audience and attract the attention of her husband is really wonderful!
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the palace sent the palace dress made for Qin Qingyao, as well as Dugu Yu's autumn court dress.
Starting from October 2nd, a big red notice was posted at the gate of Fenghuaxueyue, saying that the emperor would invite three representative posters to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.
After personal screening by His Royal Highness Prince Wu Ling, these three people have been identified as 'Eldest Young Master', 'I Have Good Food' and 'If I Were the Wind'.
Thank you all for your continued support for Fenghuaxueyue. I hope you will continue to post and communicate more. I hope everyone can find a like-minded person!
As soon as the news came out, both romance and war were overwhelming.
The place was bustling with people, all vying to speak their mind. If they had a good idea, they would share it for discussion, fearing that others would get there first.
On the evening of October 9th, in the backyard of the Prime Minister's house, the two elder sisters once again humiliated Lin Xiafeng harshly, "Things that are not presentable are not presentable. So what if they are pretty? Forget about attending this kind of formal palace banquet in your lifetime!"
Early in the morning of October 10, after the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion set off for the palace, Lin Xiafeng went out to Wangjiang Tower.
When he came out again, he had transformed into an elegant and noble person.
This outfit was all donated by Prince Duan, and it definitely makes her look much better than those vulgar women in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Then, she went to Fenghuaxueyue and received her invitation to enter the palace, which was written by King Wuling himself and stamped by the palace!
"Oh my god, if I am the wind, it turns out to be her?!"
It's ridiculous that Banbianchai and her group are still secretly jealous of the Sixth Miss of the Lin family, saying that she is not worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Yulin City and that she has just earned the title in vain.
As a result, they don’t care about you at all, but prove themselves with their strength and are personally invited into the palace by the emperor. What an honor it is!
From now on, who in the entire Yulin City would dare to look down on her? She is simply an idol and role model for all the common women in the world!
Qin Qingyao was quite nervous on the way to the palace. After all, the last time she went there, she still wore a red veil and left everything to Dugu Yu. She didn't worry about a word.
This time it won’t work. If she makes any mistake, she will bring shame to Dugu Yu.
"Husband~"
Dugu Yu saw that Qin Qingyao was about to squeeze to his side after being quiet for less than three minutes, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
"Don't rub it, or your hair will get messed up!"
"Oh, then can you promise me something?"
"What's up?"
"When we enter the palace later, if you want to call me, remember to call me Qingqing, okay?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
In fact, he had shouted it before, but he didn't know why he shouted it at that time, and he couldn't shout it again after that.
"Why don't you choose for yourself, do you want to call me niece or Qingqing? Or should I call her wife?"
"Qingqing."
"Hmm? I didn't hear that clearly."
"Qingqing."
"Hmm? Can you please call me again? Can you please call me again~"
Dugu Yu: “…”
"Hehe..." Qin Qingyao still moved closer, but did not stick to him. Instead, she kissed him, then took his hand and sat next to him.
Only then did Dugu Yu realize that the girl's palms were sweating.
"There are a lot of people at the palace banquet. No one will keep an eye on you. Just have fun by yourself. Don't be nervous."
"Okay, can I follow you?"
"I'm afraid not. Before the palace banquet, male and female guests are separated."
"Then can I go find my mother?"
"Of course, maybe your sister-in-law is here too, as well as the Yang family's sister-in-law and the old lady."
"That's good. I was worried that I wouldn't know anyone, but now I'm not afraid anymore!"
Dugu Yu took Qin Qingyao to the garden to find her mother. Along the way, he was afraid that this woman would suddenly go crazy and pick the flowers in the imperial garden.
Fortunately, she was still very sensible and followed him obediently without any strange ideas.
Only after he handed her over to her mother personally did Dugu Yu dare to leave and go see the emperor himself.
Mrs. Qin was naturally happy to see her daughter smiling. Even her master didn't say he would deliver it to her personally.
"It seems that you and the prince are really good."
"Of course! I've already told you that the prince loves me dearly, but you still don't believe me!"
"You!" Madam Qin poked her forehead, "You should be more motivated. You've been married for two months and there's still no news. Why don't you get pregnant and have a child while the prince doesn't take a concubine?"
Qin Qingyao was too embarrassed to listen to her mother's nagging and said, "It's not that I don't want to have a baby, it's that my prince can't give birth!"
Besides, in his situation, why would he take a concubine? She didn't worry about it at all.
"Alright, alright, Mom, your daughter understands everything you said. Why do you have to say it in front of so many people?"
Mrs. Qin stopped talking immediately.
"Let's go and pay our respects to the old lady."
The mother and daughter had just exchanged a few words with the old lady when there was suddenly a commotion in the garden.
Qin Qingyao looked at the crowd and exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
Who else could that dazzling and radiant person be but the heroine Lin Xiafeng, who turned all the flowers in the imperial garden into dead branches and rotten grass as soon as she appeared?
How did she get here?
Lin Xiafeng is really a hot topic and is the center of the crowd wherever he goes.
No matter how others pointed fingers and made groundless suspicions about her, she remained calm and did what she had to do, looking aloof and ready to ascend to heaven at any time. Qin Qingyao was truly ashamed of herself!
"My little girl greets Princess Wu Ling. I hope you are well!"
"Haha, that's okay. Um, who did Miss Lin come with?"
Many people wanted to ask this question but failed to do so because everyone guessed it was Prince Duan!
Lin Xiafeng's face was as rosy as a peach, and she was graceful. "Speaking of which, I have to thank Princess Wu Ling for this!"
"Thank me?"
Lin Xiafeng nodded and handed over his invitation.
If I were the wind... Lin Xiafeng...
As the heroine's plot is about this kind of thing, how could she not be surprised at all?
She is talented, knowledgeable, low-key, and extremely lucky. Who else could it be but the heroine?
Among so many people, Dugu Yu chose her. What a bad fate!
"Is that so? Then Miss Lin really should thank me. I was the one who chose you."
Lin Xiafeng remained completely calm and was so easily deceived. How could she still be the heroine?
"Why, I heard that the Emperor gave this matter to Prince Wuling."
"That's true, but no one knows better than me who is qualified to represent the palace, right? So, I gave His Majesty a little advice."
"Miss Lin, how do you want to express your gratitude? Just give it to me. It would be inconvenient for a grown-up girl like you to go to their men. Anyway, this princess and the prince are the same, so thanking anyone is the same!"
Lin Xiafeng: “…”
Everyone: “…”
This princess is so bold. She declares her ownership so directly and thoroughly, and is so unconcealed in her guard against Lin Xiafeng.
But that's true, she is the most beautiful woman in the world and she is extremely talented. Even the emperor admires her. How can we not be kind to her?
Lin Xiafeng remained unmoved, not taking Qin Qingyao, a minor character, seriously at all. "After the palace banquet is over, I will personally come to your house to express my gratitude."
Qin Qingyao said, "Don't do that! Since Miss Lin isn't planning on thanking you right now, there's no need to bother. The person you should thank the most is the Emperor. Prince Wu Ling is just following orders."
"Miss Lin is not worthy of coming here in person. Otherwise, people will think that the prince chose you out of favoritism, right?"
Everyone: “…”
Qin Qingyao was indeed planning to thank Dugu Yu in person today, and she also prepared a gift for Dugu Yu, a small bookmark she made by herself.
The paintings and calligraphy she drew herself were not very expensive, but they were absolutely full of affection and deeply expressed the depth of their friendship!
But she didn't want to give it to Qin Qingyao.
Because she felt that Qin Qingyao was vulgar and vicious and was not worthy of being Dugu Yu's wife.
She didn't marry Dugu Yu because of love. She was just a pawn used by Dugu Yu to help Prince Duan deal with the Qin family. She was not worth her attention at all.
So, no matter how Qin Qingyao guarded her against everything, she had no intention of paying any attention to her.
Qin Qingyao is so petty and jealous, and regards the pure friendship between her and Dugu Yu as a scourge. This just proves that she is a vulgar, superficial, and narrow-minded person!
As for someone like this, once Dugu Yu meets someone she truly likes, she will no longer have the chance to be arrogant.
Lin Xiafeng had no time to deal with such a clown who was destined to be tragic.
She took the initiative to come and say hello, just wanting to prove through Qin Qingyao's mouth that her presence here today was legitimate and had nothing to do with Prince Duan!
She was invited personally by the Emperor and Prince Wu Ling!
If Qin Qingyao knew that she was being used by her like this, she would be so angry that she would die.
How dare you say that your coming here today has nothing to do with Prince Duan? If you have the guts, I’ll take off all the gold, silver, pearls, jade and agate jewelry on your head, and take off that gorgeous dress that is shocking the whole audience and run away naked!
Qin Qingyao's good mood was ruined by Lin Xiafeng, because she knew that Lin Xiafeng would not miss such an excuse to thank Dugu Yu.
