Qinghe was very determined. Although she was anxious, she couldn't just marry Lianxin off casually. If she was going to marry, she had to marry someone she liked. It didn't matter if it happened later. "Fate is determined by heaven. I won't do such random matchmaking. I have to go and get someone to meet you. Do you want to come with me?"
Tang Chen shook his head and said with full fighting spirit: "I won't join in the fun. You guys finally arrived safely. Yan Zhou said we'll have a family dinner tonight. I have to go to the kitchen to keep an eye on it later."
Qinghe couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, after all, Qingliang Valley is still the best. Even if the entrance to the valley is blocked, there are still delicious food and drinks inside. Queen Wang Zhen really knows how to choose a place."
Tang Chen said proudly: "Of course, she is my mother-in-law after all!"
Since coming to Qinghe, I've seen Tang Chen always follow her heart, just like she was before they got married. Maintaining her original intentions is good, but her naive and childish appearance makes others worry about her: "Alright, look at you, you're like a child. If you don't show some strength, how can you subdue this group of people?"
Tang Chen smiled and said, "I don't need to worry about it for now. But once things settle down, as they say, when you are warm and well fed, you will think about sex. I will have to be careful then. Now that I have Wang Qin's help, it's a relief."
If Wang Yanzhou wins in the future, the throne of Liang will eventually return to him. Tang Chen will have to deal with not only these servants but also the young ladies from the wealthy families. Just thinking about it makes her worried: "... We don't know how things will develop in the future, so we'll have to wait and see."
Tang Chen looked outside and sighed softly, saying, "I just hope the Huangfu family can be more capable and solve this mess before the situation gets serious."
...Qinghe sat with Tang Chen for a while, and went to the kitchen to check on the situation. Seeing that the food was almost ready, he seized the opportunity to come to the secret path down the mountain from Qingliang Palace.
Qinghe's timing was perfect. When she arrived, she saw Lian Xin sneaking down the mountain. She caught him red-handed and said, "Where are you going, sneaking around like that?"
Lian Xin saw clearly and suddenly, and subconsciously took two steps back, hesitatingly saying: "Princess, I..."
Qinghe was playing with the leaves that accidentally fell from his hand while saying, "You were very talkative at Tang Chen's place before, but why are you stuttering now that it's just the two of us?"
"I……"
Seeing Lian Xin like this, Qing He knew that it would be dark by the time she finished her explanation, so he said, "I've seen what Qiu Liang gave to Tang Chen. Do you want to go find Lin Zhenzhen?"
Lian Xin saw that his purpose had been exposed and no longer concealed it: "Yes."
Qing He sighed softly and said, "You don't have to be so secretive if you want to see her without telling me. Are you really getting cocky? Do you really want to make me worry?"
The person Lian Xin least wanted to burden was Qinghe, so how could she be willing to let her worry about her? She was just worried that Qinghe felt that Lin Zhenzhen was not an important person and refused to let her go to Shi Zairong to find her at this time: "No, Princess, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that you won't let me see her..."
Her words really made Qinghe unhappy. She wasn't cold-blooded and heartless. Lian Xin had finally found a like-minded friend, and both she and Ouyang Ming were happy for her. She didn't know if Lian Xin had picked up this bad habit from Ouyang Ming. They always said that if you have something on your mind, you should talk to me straight away. But they were all just killing themselves by keeping quiet.
"Okay, I know your temper. You're usually quiet and don't discuss things with me. I understand that you're worried about your friend. But, have you forgotten that I'm worried about you? You just ran away without saying a word, which seems a bit irresponsible."
Lian Xin saw that the man standing in front of her was like a mountain, with no way to get around him. She could only continue to persuade him, "Princess, Lian Xin will only take a look and come back. Really, just one look."
Qinghe held his forehead and said, "Don't look so sad. Did I ever tell you not to go?"
Lian Xin's eyes lit up, but he only dared to whisper tentatively: "Then, can I go now?"
Qing He quickly refused, "Of course not. Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting dark now. Don't worry, I'll let you go early tomorrow morning. Besides, she's being taken care of by people from South Vietnam, so there's no rush."
"...Okay!" Qinghe had promised Lianxin something and would never go back on his word. Since she had promised him, he would just have to wait a little longer.
In the evening, the Qingliang Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, just like a festival. When Lian Xin followed Qinghe back to the palace, she finally understood why Qinghe had insisted on not letting her leave. It turned out that there was a place for her at the family banquet tonight.
After nightfall, bright lights illuminated the entire Qingliang Palace. People came to the palace one after another. The gate of the palace, which had been closed before, was opened wide tonight to welcome the return of relatives who had worked hard for a long time.
Today's family banquet at the Qingliang Palace was just like the wedding day of Wang Yanzhou and Tang Chen. Almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived. The soldiers in the barracks naturally ate and drank well today. Although it was a rare rest, the fine wine was still sealed in the warehouse.
Tang Chen was greeting her "family" while counting the number of people. After she sat down, Wang Yanzhou was about to serve the dishes when she realized that there was still an important person who hadn't come. No one had reminded her, which seemed a bit too much. "Hey, why hasn't Princess Fenglai come yet? Steward Wang, have someone go and invite her. We'll have finished all the delicious food and wine soon."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yingchun looked at the dazzling lights outside the house and urged anxiously, "Princess, are we really not going? This is a family dinner today. It might not be good to go late."
Princess Fenglai combed her long hair slowly and said calmly, "No rush, let's wait until Xixin comes back."
"...Yes," Yingchun was slightly taken aback. She had been so devoted to Fenglai, so why did she always seem to have eyes only for Xixin? It seemed like the time would soon come for them to be paired up according to the rules. Could it be that Fenglai was planning to give Xixin a face and let her stay in the Qingliang Palace forever?
After a while, Xixin came back, sweating profusely. Fenglai handed her a handkerchief and asked, "So, who was at the banquet?"
