Song Youlin frowned slightly, "Of course not. You've studied for so many years, don't you know that it's better to rely on yourself than on others?"
"No matter what you do, you should rely on yourself and not on others. Otherwise, even if you become an official one day and pursue a career in politics, you won't get far."
"I was just talking. Look, you took it seriously." The man curled his lips and stopped talking to him.
As soon as the eldest princess came over, many people came forward to greet her, especially those who were thoughtful, who were even more attentive.
However, the eldest princess's gaze did not fall on any of them, but on Wen Yueze.
She walked to the table of female guests and sat down at the Qushui Liushang.
When the princesses and rich ladies saw the eldest princess coming, they greeted her warmly.
The eldest princess also responded politely, but her eyes were still looking towards Wen Yueze.
But Wen Yueze didn't even look over. Instead, he drank osmanthus wine while talking to Xuanxuan beside him with his head down.
Because of the arrival of the eldest princess, everyone's mood was obviously much higher.
Especially the youngsters, the princesses would look for opportunities to chat and communicate with the eldest princess.

The Fourth Lady finally found a free opportunity and asked someone to call Huai'an over.
Ulanara Huaian came to where Fu Jin lived and said, "I pay my respects to my aunt."
"Stand up and sit down to talk." The Fourth Lady's face was filled with joy when she saw her nephew, whom she was most proud of.
"Thank you, aunt." Ulanara Huaian sat down opposite.
He looked a little reserved and a little nervous inside.
Although this was his aunt, he was also the Fourth Lady after all, so he would subconsciously become nervous every time he faced his aunt.
The Fourth Lady also noticed his nervousness and said, "Why are you so nervous? I don't eat people." She found it a little funny. Did she look so scary?
Ulanara Huaian smiled a little embarrassedly.
"I heard that you met the eldest princess. How was it?"
At this point, Ulanara Huaian said with some shame: "The eldest princess didn't seem to like me. She left without saying a few words to me."
The eldest princess is good-looking and is his type, but judging from her attitude, it seems that she doesn't have a good impression of him.
This actually made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He thought he was not bad looking, and he had passed the imperial examination this year, so he had a strong presence among other people.
But when he thought about the reaction of the eldest princess when she looked at him, he felt very unhappy.
"What? Didn't you tell me who you were at that time?" The Fourth Lady didn't expect that the eldest princess would be so disrespectful to her.
"Yes, but the eldest princess had a very cold expression at the time. She said a few words and then left."
"Aunt, I think it's better to forget it."
Judging from her reaction to her, she probably doesn't like him, and she doesn't like to force people.
The Fourth Lady was a little angry when she heard his words, "We haven't even tried it yet, and you're already backing down."
Ulanara Huaian touched her nose embarrassedly and said, "I don't think it's possible. The eldest princess doesn't like me at all. If that's the case, why force it?"
When he first saw the eldest princess, he was moved and thought that if he married her, his future would be bright.
He thought about it carefully. He was not the kind of person who would cling to others. At worst, he could just work harder in the future. Even without the support of the Fourth Prince, he might be able to find a foothold in the court on his own.
Although this opportunity is slim, we cannot pin all our hopes on one woman.
"What do you mean by forcing? Do you know that if you marry the eldest princess, it will not only benefit you, but also our Ulanala family."
"The Ulanara family is no longer what it used to be. If we continue like this, our Ulanara family will eventually fall into decline, you know?" The Fourth Lady said with some regret.
"That's not necessarily true. I'm a Jinshi now. As long as I work hard, I'll definitely have a place in the court. Besides, there's you, my aunt. The Ulanara family will definitely not decline."
He is still very confident about his aunt Ulanara Huaian.
Fu Jin sneered when she heard her words, "I am still here now, but what will happen to the Ulanara family if I am no longer here? Have you ever thought about it?"
Her health is getting worse and worse. If one day she is gone, what will happen to the Ulanara family?
In the end, they have to support themselves and cannot rely on her for everything.
"Aunt, you can't say that. You're in good health. I know marrying the eldest princess would be of great benefit to the Ulanara family, but the eldest princess doesn't like me at all. Even if I really want to marry her, what's the point?"
"As long as you want, your aunt can help you." A trace of calculation flashed across Fu Jin's eyes.
Ulanara Huaian didn't quite understand what her aunt meant. "Aunt, what do you mean?"
——
Wen Mianmian is currently admiring the blooming lotus flowers in the river with the other ladies in the pavilion on the lake.
With a "splash", the sound of someone falling into the water came from the opposite side.
Since Wen Mianmian and the others were not far away, they could naturally hear the noise.
A lady was the first to see that it was a person who fell into the water and exclaimed, "Oh, look, is there a person falling into the water over there?"
"It seems so. I wonder why there is a sudden water leak out of nowhere."
"Why don't we go over and take a look."
Wen Mianmian was also shocked. She stood up and led everyone to rush over there.
At this moment, some people gathered over there and everyone was shouting for help.
"The eldest princess fell into the water. Someone come quickly and save our eldest princess." The eldest princess's wet nurse cried and shouted.
The eldest princess struggled desperately on the surface of the river, trying to shout for help, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a large amount of river water would rush into her mouth and nose.
This made it increasingly difficult for her to breathe.
It was at this time that a man jumped into the river and swam towards him.
Another man also jumped down without hesitation, and both of them swam towards the big princess quickly.
The eldest princess was finally successfully rescued by the man who went into the water last.
The man who went down first frowned slightly when he saw that the eldest princess was successfully rescued.
Seeing that the eldest princess had been rescued by that man, he also got ashore with the help of the eunuchs.
"Princess~"
After the eldest princess was rescued, the wet nurse rushed over first and took off her coat to cover the eldest princess.
When Wen Mianmian came over, she saw the man carrying the eldest princess up.
