Luo Xuening looked at Long Moxun's departing back, feeling a little reluctant, but in the end, she still suppressed her reluctance.

During these days, she clearly felt that her feelings towards Yu Long Moxun were no longer the same.

For example, when she was free, she would think of Long Moxun's voice, appearance and smile. Obviously, that man was so cold on weekdays, but she seemed to always see his smile.

For example, when she encountered danger, what she hoped most was Long Moxun to save her.

She believed in him, just like a life-and-death partner. Even when her life was in danger, she had an extraordinary trust in him.

Luo Xuening felt that her trust in Long Moxun was a little hard to understand. Long Moxun did not look like a kind-hearted person, but she just believed that he would not abandon her when her life was in danger.

Luo Xue Ning smiled slightly, but her smile was somewhat helpless. However, her feelings for Yu Long Mo Xun were not that deep. Realizing this, Luo Xue Ning suppressed the lingering feelings in her heart, turned around, and closed the door mercilessly.

Long Moxun did not walk far. He heard Luo Xuening close the door without hesitation. He pursed his lips and raised his eyes. The night sky was still shrouded in darkness.

At this moment, it is indeed too early to talk about love. He hopes that when the day comes when he no longer has to risk his life, when he is in a high position, he and Luo Xuening will be able to see clearly what they need in their hearts.

By that time, Long Moxun thought, they should be able to clearly understand what they want. But now, they still have a lot to do.

The first major obstacle ahead is the feast of Emperor Nan Shao.

Long Moxun wants to find a gift for Emperor Nan Shao, and I heard that Luo Xuening will also be there that day. Long Moxun suddenly becomes extremely excited. What will happen on Shousheng's birthday?

The birthday banquet of Emperor Nan Shao was a celebration for the whole country. On this day, according to custom, the ancestor worship activities were started, and then the court officials sang songs of Emperor Nan Shao's merits. It was not until the evening that the dinner began.

The scale of this banquet was comparable to the Qixi Festival banquet, but it was reduced by half. Those who were fortunate enough to participate in the Nanshao Emperor's banquet had to be either rich or noble, and Luo Xue Ning was also invited.

Luo Xue Ning arrived not too late. Those who were invited to attend the Nan Shao Emperor's banquet were all in the Yu Garden, and there was still some time before the banquet started.

This time, without the chaos caused by the First Lady and her daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Luo Xu Ning was quite free. Since the Qixi Festival banquet, Luo Xu Ning had become famous among the dignitaries in the capital.

Everyone they met on the road would greet each other, and Luo Xuening would return the greeting politely. At least, from now on, she was enjoying this birthday banquet. In front of her, a pretty figure was walking towards her leisurely.

"Ning'er, I heard from my mother that you are here too, so I came to find you right away."

Hearing this familiar voice, Luo Xuening's joy deepened. It was really the best thing to meet her friend at this time.

"Yingying, nice to see you."

Luo Xuening walked over affectionately and held Yaoyingying's hand. It had been several months since they last saw each other.

Huang Yingying affectionately pulled Luo Xuening to sit in the hanging basket under the tree. She stood there with her big eyes full of admiration for Luo Xuening.

"Ning'er, you are really amazing. Now, even the emperor looks at you differently. Last time, you became famous in one fell swoop. You are really amazing."

Her praise was pure, without a hint of flattery. Luo Xuening really liked Huang Yingying's simplicity and magnanimity. As the two were chatting, Huang Yingying suddenly stopped the topic with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Ning'er, I heard that you and Fang Jinyu were... very close."

When talking about Fang Jinyu, Huang Yingying no longer had her former lively and generous self. She was like a shy and timid girl who was just beginning to fall in love. Seeing her like this, Luo Xuening knew that Huang Yingying had someone she loved in her heart, and the person she loved was Fang Jinyu.

No matter how a person explains it, her eyes are hard to deceive, and a little girl like Huang Yingying is innocent by nature, and all her feelings of admiration are written on her face.

There was no need to guess at all, and Huang Yingying had no intention of hiding it. Facing Luo Xuening's inquiry, she said shyly.

"Ning'er, can you please give him something for me? I embroidered it myself."

Huang Yingying took out an exquisitely crafted purse from her sleeve. In that era, women liked to embroider purses by hand and give them to the men they loved.

If a man receives such a purse, he should understand the intention of the gift giver.

Looking at Huang Yingying's hands, which were still wrapped with cloth strips, it seemed that Huang Yingying had been pricked many times in order to embroider this purse. However, why didn't Huang Yingying hand such an important thing directly to Fang Jinyu?

Seeing Luo Xuening's confusion, Huang Yingying sighed: "I gave it to him last time, but he refused to accept it."

Huang Yingying's tone was full of disappointment. Luo Xuening was even more confused. Since Fang Jinyu had rejected her, his rejection was already very obvious. Why did Huang Yingying still humbly propose to him again and again?

"Ning'er, do you also think that I am shameless?"

Huang Yingying gritted her teeth. When she saw the hesitation in Luo Xuening's eyes, her face turned pale.

I asked this question hesitantly because I felt how humble I was. However, love is something that cannot be measured by being humble or shameless.

Precisely because the other person has a fatal attraction, she will give without rushing to do so and without asking for anything in return.

Whose secret love is not unforgettable, and who has not loved someone humbly, like the tragic moth flying into the fire. You can say that the person who disregards everything for love is stupid, but you cannot despise her.

Similarly, Luo Xuening could not use her own thoughts to guess Huang Yingying's thoughts.

She had experienced a fatal love affair, which allowed her to be so open-minded and to face the temptations of love calmly. However, Huang Yingying was just a silly girl who had just begun to fall in love.

Some things can only be understood after experiencing them.

Luo Xuening just sighed. When will Huang Yingying see through it? Or maybe she saw through it but was unwilling to admit the fact that Fang Jinyu rejected her.

However, no matter which one it was, Luo Xue Ning had no position to make the decision for Huang Yingying. She took the purse and said solemnly: "Okay, I'll help you deliver it."

Huang Yingying then burst into laughter, with tears still hanging on her fair face. That selfless smile was clean and neat, warming people's hearts.

"Just don't tell him that it was me who gave it to him."

Huang Yingying lowered her voice and begged once again. It was obviously a small matter, but the pity in her eyes was so deep.

The only one who could help her was Luo Xuening.

Luo Xuening frowned: "You really won't tell him?"

This is a problem. After all, an object like a wallet is really immune to ambiguity.

Huang Yingying nodded: "I'm afraid he won't accept it, so just say it's from you."

Luo Xuening pursed her lips. She didn't want anyone to misunderstand her.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that it was you who gave it to me."

After putting away the purse, Luo Xuening turned it over and saw the two words "Jin Yu" embroidered on it. She found them so beautiful that she couldn't help but smile.

Huang Yingying finally felt relieved. She covered her chest and took a long breath. Seeing her shy look, Luo Xuening could only sigh in her heart that it was good to be young. She had only seen such a pure love in novels before.

The two chatted for a few more sentences. It was still early and there was still some time before the birthday banquet started. Huang Yingying suggested that she and Luo Xuening go to the Yu Garden together. At this time of year, the flowers in the Yu Garden were in full bloom.

At this time, a respectable palace maid came forward and said, "The Empress invites you." Luo Xuening then knew that she was in trouble.
