Xiao Lingdang didn't notice anything unusual about Chu Yu, and was only celebrating that the seal was finally about to be broken.
As soon as he got home, he jumped off the carriage and ran into the room. Before he even entered the room, he kicked his shoes off.
His hands kept moving as he quickly pulled off the various gold hairpins on his head and threw them on the ground.
How can he be called a spendthrift when he looks like that?
Before the servants came to help, she had already removed all the jewelry on her head. She gently massaged her scalp which was hurt by the pulling, and gasped from time to time.
Chu Yu waited quietly in the yard, and listening to her cries of pain, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
It was not until half an hour later that little Bell ran out happily.
She had completely changed her clothes. She was still wearing a red dress, but it was a thin gauze skirt, which was very cool to wear in such hot weather.
She had a simple bun on her head, secured with a hairband, without even a single extra accessory.
It is so simple and plain to the extreme, but it makes her look more peaceful and generous, and her every frown and smile has a touch of gentleness.
Needless to say, this was naturally the work of Wu Tongtong.
"How is it? Brother Chu, isn't Xiao Lingdang's outfit pretty good?"
Chu Yu slightly turned away her eyes. "Well, it looks good, simple and elegant. Most importantly, it's comfortable for her to wear. Otherwise, she would be too restricted at the banquet, not only wouldn't she be full, but she wouldn't be able to enjoy her meal either."
Xiao Lingling nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes! That's what I mean. We're going to have dinner later, and wearing that wide-sleeved skirt might look nice, but it's too much of a hindrance.
Although I have eaten a lot of delicious food over the years, this palace banquet is still very rare. Many of the flavors cannot be found outside.
Today will definitely be a very rich meal, so I will definitely have to eat more, so this is the most comfortable outfit."
As soon as Wu Tongtong met her, she couldn't maintain the calmness she had cultivated over the years, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Little Bell! You're a princess, don't you know? There's no shortage of delicious food you haven't tried. There will be so many people at the banquet soon, so don't be too exaggerated.
After all, you're a member of the royal family now, so you have to consider the royal family's reputation! If you want to eat something, you can just tell the emperor.
The Emperor wouldn't be so reluctant to give you even this little bit of food, would he? So, don't be too outrageous, do you hear me? "
Xiao Lingling lowered her head after being scolded by Wu Tongtong, with an expression of "I will be obedient and accept my fate", but Wu Tongtong knew very well that she was just pretending in front of her.
When the banquet really comes, I will definitely not be able to help myself.
Hey, how come such a smart person has such an obsession with food?
Wu Tongtong raised her eyes and glanced at the sky. "Okay, it's getting late. You guys should leave quickly."
When Xiao Lingling heard this, she excitedly pulled Chu Yu and ran out. She was so fast that she disappeared in a whoosh.
It was still the same bustling street, but she was completely different from the one in the morning.
Although it was already dusk, she was as excited as if it were morning. She couldn't even sit still in the carriage. She kept sticking her head out and sighing.
The palace gate is very lively at this moment.
Officials can bring their families to the evening palace banquet, and each official can bring up to two family members.
Xiao Lingdang asked Zhao about the situation mainly because her parents were not at home, but she was not used to the affairs of the palace, so she was the only one who entered the palace this time.
Because there were so many people, the palace gate was now crowded, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the guards to check.
Xiao Lingling didn't want to make anything special, so she planned to let Chu Yu park the carriage aside and wait quietly.
Who would have thought that she would be discovered as soon as she showed her head.
"Oh, it's the Princess Zhenguo! Princess, you're here, come quickly, come, I'll make way for you, please go in first."
"Yes, Princess, we are not in a hurry. It's okay to go later. You should go in first, otherwise the emperor and others will look for you."
"Your Highness, you look so beautiful in this outfit. Compared to you, I am simply unbearable."
"Yes, yes, Princess, where did you buy this headband? The embroidery is so beautiful. I want to buy one too."
So many people gathered around her that Xiao Lingling felt a little flattered.
Although these people had flattered her in the past, it was definitely not as flattering as it was today.
She also discovered that most of the people here were young ladies from aristocratic families. They all came up to her and praised her desperately, and some even told lies with their eyes open.
If there is no conspiracy behind this, Xiao Lingling would never believe it even if you beat her to death.
But she didn't dare to ask directly, so she could only pretend that she didn't understand and responded a few times.
Moreover, since they have given way, wouldn’t it be a waste of their kindness if we don’t leave?
So she and Chu Yu had a very good understanding. One was responsible for greeting everyone, and the other was responsible for squeezing in from the crowd of carriages at a very fast speed.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the little bell was let in without being checked.
As soon as he entered, he got into the sedan chair and walked away quickly.
Little Bell finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Huh, these people are so scary. I don't even know who is who. I've never seen them so enthusiastic before. What's wrong with them today?"
Chu Yu probably guessed something and couldn't help but laugh, "Maybe it has something to do with your eldest and third brothers.
After all, they are now at the best age for marriage. Everyone was still waiting and watching before, but now that the dust has settled, they have started to think about it.
In addition, the emperor's meaning was also very clear, that is, he has a good relationship with both princes, so there is no need to worry about brothers fighting each other in the future, let alone worrying about being implicated.
Look, everyone is definitely rushing to grab this wealth that is within their reach.
Your two brothers are now walking hot cakes, you will know it at the banquet later."
Little Bell finally understood and couldn't help but smack her lips in amazement.
"These people are too impatient. Besides, what's the point of trying to curry favor with me? I won't say anything good for them anyway. Why should I get involved in something that even my father and mother don't care about?"
"Yeah, but they don't know either. They probably think you have a good relationship with them, so they want to leave a good impression on them through you.
It doesn't matter, just do what you want to do, no one can force you."
Only then did Xiao Lingling feel relieved.
