When Shi Chengxi became the top scholar in the imperial examination, He Qiuniang was so happy that she hosted a three-day banquet at a restaurant.
Tantai Qingchuan also began taking Shi Chengxi to visit high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.
Although Tantai Qingchuan is their stepfather and has the right to a family, the future ultimately belongs to the young people.
May arrived in the blink of an eye.
Li Hongzhao's mother, the Princess Consort of Ping, gave birth to twins and specially sent He Qiuniang a full-month celebration invitation.
Just then, He Qiuniang was past the first three months of her pregnancy and was able to take Shi Chengya and Shi Yu out for some fresh air.
However, Shi Yu's little mouth still caused He Qiu Niang as much worry as ever.
Before heading to Prince Ping's residence, He Qiuniang specifically called Shi Yu over and spoke to her.
"Yu Yu, the Prince Ping's mansion is having a full moon celebration today, there should be quite a lot of people invited."
"You're still young and don't know much about social etiquette."
"What your mother means is that you should observe more and speak less. Do you understand?"
Shi Yu nodded readily, "Yes, I understand."
"I understand."
"clear."
Although He Qiuniang was quite worried that Shi Yu would mess things up, she had no choice but to let her go.
Because the Prince Ping's residence sent two invitations.
One was for He Qiuniang and Shi Chengya.
There is also a separate invitation to Shi Yu.
After everything was packed up, the mother and her two daughters went out.
However, Shi Yu still rode her big dog with a smile, showing no intention of changing her riding method.
When the mother and her two daughters arrived at the Prince Ping's residence, the entrance was already quite lively.
The former Prince Ping was the least noticeable of the three brothers.
But now, Prince Ping, thanks to his son's status, has risen to prominence.
All the civil and military officials in the court came to offer their congratulations out of respect for the Crown Prince Li Huai'an.
Shi Yu rode a large dog, his figure standing out conspicuously among the crowd.
She had just arrived at the Prince Ping's residence when Li Hongzhao flew towards her.
"Yuyu, you've arrived."
"Princess Xianhe, Miss Shi," Li Hongzhao greeted He Qiuniang and Shi Chengya.
"I am extremely grateful to have you all come to celebrate my younger brother and sister's one-month birthday today. Please come and join us."
Li Hongzhao extended the invitation in a very formal manner, appearing quite like royalty.
But as soon as everyone was ushered inside, Li Hongzhao pushed her way to Shi Yu's side.
He pulled her aside and they talked quietly.
"Yuyu, do you know that something terrible has happened?"
"Something big has happened? What big thing?" Shi Yu blinked, expressing her curiosity.
"I just heard it from my royal grandfather."
"It is said that a small island suddenly rose from the dark fog outside the sea area of Lin Yue Kingdom."
"That island has many rare and precious treasures."
"Gold." Upon hearing this, Shi Yu immediately became interested.
She likes rare and precious treasures.
“But these things are not easy to carry,” Li Hongzhao said with a serious expression.
"I heard that people from many countries went to the island after hearing the news."
"Our Great Gan Kingdom is backed by the north, so news comes a bit slower."
"Those who took the gold and silver treasures on the island all died a violent death after returning home."
"Moreover, their corpses emit a disgusting stench and spread as a virus."
"People in many countries have been infected, the epidemic is raging, and many people have died."
"One of these countries was completely destroyed."
"That's amazing!" Shi Yu was slightly surprised.
“Yes,” Li Hongzhao nodded.
"Moreover, some of these plagues have spread to our Daqian."
"People from those countries are still complaining that the holy relics we gave them are useless."
"It's clearly because they were greedy and couldn't swallow an elephant, so they went to the sea and islands and got cursed."
“Sacred objects are used to ward off the invasion of evil forces, not to ward off curses.”
"These people are so restless and will only get themselves killed. I should have known better than to help them in the first place."
"Now they actually have the nerve to blame us."
"He's utterly scum!" Li Hongzhao exclaimed angrily.
If she weren't afraid of inciting war between nations, she would have gone to settle scores with those people long ago.
"I didn't expect you to know so much about the effects of the new sacred object," Shi Yu said.
“That’s right.” Li Hongzhao nodded confidently.
However, her confidence did not come from herself, but from Shi Yu.
She had absolute confidence in Shi Yu's abilities.
If even Shi Yu can't do it, then no one else can either.
I don't know why, but Li Hongzhao just has this belief.
"The new sacred object can indeed prevent evil spirits from invading."
"But they chose to die, and there's nothing that can be done about it."
"However, Little Li, I am quite interested in that island in the sea you mentioned."
"If we have time, let's gather some people and go together."
"Really?" Li Hongzhao was overjoyed to hear this.
She had wanted to go there for a long time, but she couldn't leave the capital.
If Yu were with them, it wouldn't be a problem to just leave whenever they wanted.
"Hehe..." Li Hongzhao chuckled in Shi Yu's ear.
"Then let's go together."
“With you, Yu Yu, standing up for us, those evil spirits will definitely be unable to do anything to us.”
Shi Yu: "Alright, then it's settled."
The two talked as they walked toward the banquet hall.
On the way, the two of them met Bailitu.
