Wen Liyu was dazzled by the rockery, flowing water, ponds and pavilions in the imperial garden, when suddenly the view in front of her opened up and she arrived at the main venue of the banquet.
The venue was divided into two halves by an artificial stream. The right side was filled with unmarried and married women dressed in gorgeous and beautiful clothes, competing with each other in beauty, while the left side was filled with young men from wealthy families dressed in different styles.
In the middle are various precious flowers in full bloom and a beautiful screen. The half-hidden figure printed on the screen makes people even more uneasy.
As soon as Wen Liyu arrived at the venue, she was called over by the three distinguished guests sitting in the main seat.
She stood at the bottom of the steps with a natural and generous attitude, and saluted everyone on the stage one by one. Her movements were graceful, obviously after practicing for a long time.
"Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine." After completing her greetings, Wen Liyu stood up with a smile on her face. Her almond-shaped eyes were full of autumn water, and her red lips slightly parted as she spoke some sweet words of auspiciousness.
Her attitude was approachable and pleasant, which made the three ladies feel happy.
"Here comes Yu-ya-tou." The Queen Mother smiled and waved to her, clearly having feelings for this girl whom she had practically grown up with. "Come quickly and let me see her."
"Empress Dowager, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you look younger again?" Wen Liyu did not refuse. She walked to the stage holding up her skirt and was stopped by the three people to greet them.
The Queen Mother slightly frowned, looking slightly angry, "You little mouth."
Wen Liyu wasn't afraid at all. She playfully took her arm and whispered to her in a friendly and dependent manner, "You must have used the recipe I gave you, right? I told you it would definitely work~"
"You really got it right." The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing and tapped her nose.
The queen and the imperial concubine sitting beside him were not to be outdone, and they started talking one after another.
Wen Liyu handled the situation very well and made these three high-ranking women laugh.
Some people in the audience were jealous, while others were envious.
Many people cast glances filled with various emotions and discussed in low voices in the audience.
"Girl Wen is really amazing."
"Of course. I think even those princesses are not as favored as her."
"Hey, she has a very clever mind. If you can be like her someday, I won't have to follow you around all the time."
Several unmarried girls were lectured by their elders and were jealous, envious and impressed by Wen Liyu.
That’s amazing.
After talking for about a quarter of an hour, it was time for the banquet.
The male members were led by the eldest prince who was already married. They started earlier than the female members, and their voices could already be heard talking.
The female relatives would glance over there from time to time, then quickly look away, and several girls had a faint blush on their faces.
The female members of the family were also presided over by the Queen Mother, and they were seated according to their family status.
Wen Liyu sat next to the little princess, and her status could be seen from her position.
"Socializing is too tiring." Wen Liyu maintained the dignity of a noble lady, holding a small cup and sipping tea with graceful and beautiful movements.
On the surface, his work was impeccable, but in his heart, he kept complaining to the system, "What can I drink from this cup? I can drink a whole cup of milk tea in just a few sips. Who am I looking down on?"
System: "Host, please confirm the target of the attack."
"Zhao Xuanyin, right?" Wen Liyu replied perfunctorily. She was thirsty and couldn't remember the rankings and names of the princes for the moment, so she asked casually, "Where does he rank?"
System: "It's the Second Prince, the original male protagonist's twin brother."
"..." Wen Liyu almost choked. "There are eight princes in total, why is he the one being replaced? What's the difference between this and not changing the prince at all?"
She pouted and said, "I'm face-blind! What if I recognize the wrong person?"
The system suddenly became excited. "Host, do you want to buy a person identification tag? It's on sale today for only 1998!"
"...It's just one point less, how can it be considered a discount?" Wen Liyu was not fooled by the system. "I won't buy it."
There was a sudden commotion among the female members of the family. Wen Liyu looked up and saw a pair of twins standing at the door.
They were wearing robes of different colors, one black and one white, one gloomy and one bright.
But they are equally outstanding in appearance and height, at least 188cm tall, with deep and three-dimensional facial features, handsome and eye-catching.
The appearance of the two made all the unmarried girls present blush.
Although they are twins, their temperaments are completely different. Wen Liyu suddenly felt confident when she saw them.
It doesn't seem that difficult to identify?
The imperial concubine's emotions were immediately aroused. She raised her hand and asked the two to come over. "Yin'er and Yi'er, come here quickly."
"Brother Yin and Brother Yi are so alike," the Queen sighed. "Fortunately, they have different temperaments, otherwise it would be hard to tell them apart."
"Yes." The imperial concubine said with a smile, "When they were young, they would play the game of swapping identities, but I haven't seen it since I grew up."
Zhao Xuanyin and Zhao Xuanyi walked forward together, intending to go over and greet the Queen Mother and the others.
Zhao Xuanyi turned his head as he passed by Wen Liyu, secretly raised the corner of his mouth to her, and quickly mouthed, "Xiaoyu."
Wen Liyu felt a little guilty, and lowered her head pretending to be shy, not looking at him.
When Zhao Xuanyi saw that his little wife was shy, unlike usual, he felt strangely excited and his mood was immediately aroused.
"Are you so happy?" Zhao Xuanyin glanced at him with a smile.
As twins, they really have some strange connections.
From childhood to adulthood, as long as they are close to each other, they can feel each other's emotions extremely clearly.
I can feel it from a distance, but it's only a subtle feeling.
There is also a special kind of induction, for example, when the other person is excited, you can hear one or two words of his or her inner voice in your heart.
When they were young, the two were as close as one person, but they became distant when they grew up. However, because of the emotional connection, their relationship is still better than that of other brothers.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled softly, "Brother, you don't understand. Xiaoyu is simply the cutest woman in the world."
"Besides, she can clearly tell the two of us apart. Even if you imitate me, it will be useless no matter how similar you are." He said meaningfully.
I realized that my brother was talking about the time they swapped identities for a day last month.
That day, except Wen Liyu, no one else noticed that they had swapped identities.
"Heh." Before Zhao Xuanyin could say anything, he walked down the stairs.
The two gathered their thoughts and simultaneously bowed to the three people in the upper seats, "Greetings to the Queen Mother, Mother Queen, and Mother Consort."
"Come up and let me see you." The Queen Mother said, meaning to keep the two of them.
The unmarried girls present were so excited that they grabbed their handkerchiefs under the table and secretly looked up at the two princes.
Most of them were looking at Zhao Xuanyin, because among the two brothers, he was the older one but not yet engaged.
There were also people watching Zhao Xuanyi, but their eyes were more obscure and evasive, after all, he was a married man.
But if you have to choose between Zhao Xuanyin and Zhao Xuanyi, most girls will choose the younger brother instead of the older brother.
