On the bustling streets, people flow like water, and the sounds of cars, horses, and hawkers merge into one.
Two maids with strong martial arts skills followed the eldest princess closely, fearing that anything might go wrong.
Yu Huan has been here for more than ten years, but he has rarely come out.
She walked and strolled along the way, looking at the fruit stalls here and the pastry shop over there. Just as she pulled off the phoenix-patterned brocade bag hanging from her waist and was about to ask the maid to buy some bayberry candy, an accident happened.
An out-of-control horse suddenly appeared out of nowhere and charged straight towards Yu Yingying.
Fortunately, someone pulled the horse's reins in a flash, easing the momentum, and the maid was able to pull Yu Huan away quickly.
The horse sprang forward, and its owner and the officers and soldiers chased after it. The vendor whose stall was knocked over cursed, and the maids were anxiously checking her safety from top to bottom.
But in Yu Huan's ears, the whole street was silent, and only the vague silhouette of that person remained between heaven and earth.
The handsome young man who had just pulled the reins seemed to feel her gaze and turned his head to look at her.
The brocade bag on Yu Huan's fingertips suddenly became extremely heavy and fell to the ground with a "bang".
A young lady from an official family with an ethereal figure stared at him blankly, not even noticing that something had fallen.
Lu Qingyan smiled, and with a kind heart, he picked up the exquisitely designed brocade bag and returned it to her: "Miss, you dropped something."
She was still staring at him blankly, but she moved her fingers slowly and took the sachet.
Even though Lu Qingyan was aware of his own dashing looks, his face felt slightly hot under that gaze.
He acted as if nothing had happened, cleared his throat, and left with his friend who was waiting for him.
Although people teased him with words like "lucky in love" and "too lucky in love", he remained calm, but a few waves of emotion still arose in his heart.
However, in a quick glance, he only saw Yu Huan's stunned expression, but ignored the equally surprised facial expressions of the two maids.
How could there be two people in this world who are so similar?
If Yun Yan were still alive, I would probably be surprised too.
However, the most urgent thing at the moment is to return home as soon as possible. I'm afraid the princess will recall the sad things again.
?
At the end of the street, a young man who had been silent for a long time shook his head and sighed, "Lu Qingyan, you are truly enviable. Even the princess favors you."
"The eldest princess?"
Everyone who had never known the eldest princess's beauty before opened their mouths wide.
Lu Qingyan was a little stunned when he recalled the phoenix pattern on the brocade bag.
?
Yu Huan’s current identity is the eldest princess.
The script this time is very interesting.
She is the female supporting character who treats the male protagonist as a substitute and treats him well only because he resembles someone she had admired before. The male protagonist falls deeply in love with her and they have a mutual affection.
After learning the truth, the male protagonist felt that he had been deceived and played with, and his love turned into hate. He immediately drew a line between himself and her.
In the end, the male protagonist passed the imperial examination and was promoted to a high position. He was promoted step by step and was attracted to the female protagonist who traveled through time and space, and they lived in love and harmony until old age.
She regretted her whole life and lived alone until she grew old.

Princess's Mansion
Yu Huan lay lazily on a small carved couch inlaid with gold threads. On the square table in front of the couch, there was a plate of bayberry candy that the maid had bought from outside.
The servant who had been sent out was now holding the information he had gathered and reporting in detail: "Lu Qingyan, son of the Minister of Rites, twenty years old, the only son in the family..."
The Minister of Rites is an official position that is neither too big nor too small, and it is really not easy to start with.
The maid Yangyang frowned, "If only his family had a lower rank, the princess could have just taken him into the palace and locked him up. She could have seen him whenever she wanted, and that would have eased her longing for him a little."
The last part of her voice gradually faded away under the warning gaze of another maid, Shutong.
Yu Huan, however, acted calm and said with a smile, "It's unacceptable to forcefully take a man away from you."
There was no sadness in her eyes, but her smile was faint, not happy after all.
Unable to bear the worry in everyone's eyes, she bit a piece of bayberry candy, the sweet and sour taste dispelling the bitterness in her mouth: "Don't worry, the princess has her own way."

In June, hibiscus welcomes summer.
The concubine in the palace held a flower-viewing banquet, apparently at the order from above, and all the young men and women from aristocratic families were invited.
Lu Qingyan was wearing a lily-white, cross-collared, wide-sleeved gown with lotus flowers embroidered on the collar, which was exquisite yet understated. He wore a tasseled jade pendant around his waist and a jade bi and golden crown on his head.
After fiddling with it for an hour, he looked in the bronze mirror and saw, indeed, a bright moon, a gentle breeze, and a handsome gentleman.
But I also heard that the eldest princess likes quietness and doesn't like to attend parties.
Tapping his palm with the folding fan, Lu Qingyan warned himself that it was just a chance encounter on the street and not to think too much about it.
The flower-viewing banquet was packed with guests, with singing and dancing. The palace maids shuttled among them, serving one delicious dish after another.
Sure enough, she was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Qingyan wanted to ease his inexplicable loss, so he poured a cup of tea and was about to drink it when he heard the announcement coming in one after another: "The eldest princess has arrived——"
The warm tea suddenly overflowed and wet the cuffs of the handsome young man.
