"Oh, little sister, I'm just here without warning, please don't mind." Looking at the beautiful Li Zhiwei, Lin Ziyi was a little infatuated.
"I don't mind." Li Zhiwei was taken aback, and for a moment she was also a little unfamiliar with Madam Wei's overly familiar manner.
"Girl, I'm a pretty straightforward person, don't mind me. I just heard that the Emperor has invited you to the palace for a banquet in three days, right?" Lin Ziyi said casually.
“Yes.” Although Li Zhiwei didn’t know what Madam Wei wanted to do, she still nodded.
"Oh, that's wonderful, sister! Eunuch Liu also mentioned it to me today. I was just worried about not having a companion," Lin Ziyi quickly said, thinking to herself that she would feel proud to have such a beautiful girl by her side.
I imagine that the Qu family will be very envious of me at that time.
You should know that there aren't many young ladies as beautiful as Li Zhiwei in the capital.
"So Madam Wei has also been invited to the banquet in three days." Li Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just for the banquet, she wouldn't mind having another companion.
"Yes, yes, I wonder what kind of banquet His Majesty invited us to this time. In the past, my mother-in-law was always invited to these kinds of banquets, but this time, she wasn't invited at all," Lin Ziyi said with a hint of helplessness.
"Has Lady Wei ever attended such a palace banquet before?" Li Zhiwei asked curiously.
"Of course I've participated, but I always followed my mother-in-law around. Sister, don't call me Madam Wei anymore, just call me Sister Lin." Lin Ziyi felt a bit uncomfortable hearing Li Zhiwei keep calling her Madam Wei.
"Okay, Sister Lin, have you asked Lord Wei what kind of banquet this is?" Li Zhiwei thought to herself, the Court of Imperial Sacrifices should be an official position responsible for royal sacrifices, so he should know that the royal family is holding banquets.
"I haven't seen him these past few days, I don't know what he's been busy with all day." Lin Ziyi said with some dissatisfaction when she thought of Wei Jing'an.
Li Zhiwei was now in a bit of a predicament. Prince An was usually concerned about the people, so it was even more inappropriate for her to go to his door to inquire.
"It's alright, the Emperor and Empress are quite amicable. When the time comes, I'll definitely protect you, sister, by my side," Lin Ziyi assured, patting her chest.
She was still thinking to herself, how blind Lin Jitong was back then, ignoring the rich and beautiful Li Zhiwei and insisting on choosing that petty Zhou Yutang.
They really picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon.
However, she only dared to say these words in her heart.
Rushan Academy
Xu Qingshi sat below with an indifferent expression, not listening to a single word the teacher above was saying.
Ever since he, Xie Yanzhi, and Jiang Yu were found in the black box by their father, the three of them were sent to Rushan Academy.
It is euphemistically called enlightenment.
Everyone in the academy was older than them.
They all looked down on them.
The teacher read for a long time, but he was getting drowsy.
Jiang Yu and Xie Yanzhi, who were standing to the side, were also feeling bad.
Finally, the lady left.
"Young Master, you've really ruined us!" Jiang Yu looked at Xu Qingshi with a look of utter despair. If he hadn't said he wanted to go see some treasure, he would have been sent to the academy at least two years later.
Now, not only does he have to memorize texts every day, but he also has to write large characters. How could he possibly do that?
"My father said we shouldn't stay at home and cause trouble for our family." Xie Yanzhi felt uneasy.
"Hey, you three, come over here right now and clean this up!"
As the group was talking, a man not far away called out to them.
All three looked at the man in confusion.
