The eldest princess and the current emperor are from the same mother, and are extremely noble. Whenever she appears, she is surrounded by people.
Those who rushed forward to flatter him almost blocked his view.
Lu Qingyan sat in a corner of the banquet, holding a teacup, feeling the temperature on his sleeves gradually cooling down.
However, the eldest princess brushed aside the crowd and walked towards him: "Lu Qingyan, I have seen you once before."
Almost all the guests present looked over.
He was a little surprised that she still remembered him, and even more surprised that she actually told this matter in public.
Lu Qingyan looked up in surprise and saluted hurriedly.
"sit."
Yu Huan raised his hand and pointed, and the maid brought a chair over. She sat down at his table casually and poured herself a cup of tea with a smile.
Lu Qingyan was somewhat looking forward to the princess's unusual attitude towards him. The princess had a fairy-like appearance, a graceful demeanor, and a charming demeanor. Anyone would have such a fantasy.
But he didn't expect that this fantasy would actually come true, and it was even more illusory than he had imagined.
At the flower-viewing banquet, she chatted with him for a long time.
Lu Qingyan used all his life's learning, integrated his strengths into his words, and displayed his talents without making a sound.
This is very useful.
So much so that the eldest princess would look at him in a daze from time to time, as if she was amazed at his knowledge.
After that day, the way people at the banquet looked at him changed. It was rumored among his friends that the princess had fallen in love with him at first sight.
"Maybe it's just that the eldest princess is gentle and sociable," he explained.
But when there was no one around, he would hold the poetry collection sent by the eldest princess, and his heart would beat irregularly.
He just mentioned it at the banquet, and she found a rare copy for him.

There was a dish of vegetarian meatballs at the flower-viewing banquet, which was very much to Yu Huan's liking. After she said a word, Concubine Shu had the cook who made this dish sent to her house.
At that time, Meng Huaping was being bullied by the leading aunt in the kitchen because the dishes she cooked were delicious and stole their limelight, so she was ostracized by them.
She could only eat leftovers, sleep in the corner, and didn't even get any reward money. Her aunt, relying on her connections, used her power to bully others and forced her to kneel in the corner for two hours.
Just as I was about to faint, I heard my father-in-law come and ask:
"Who made the vegetarian stewed meatballs? Come on, your fortune has arrived. Pack up your things and follow the princess's people."

Princess's Mansion
Yu Huan lay on the couch, reading the storybook he hadn't finished. He tossed and turned, unable to calm down.
Yangyang came out of the small kitchen, carrying some sour plum soup, and said casually, "The weather is nice today, neither too hot nor too cold, so it's perfect for a small banquet."
Yu Huan propped up her head, Lu Qingyan's eyes were always in her mind. She hadn't seen his eyes for a long time.
"Do it," she said.
The Princess's residence was bustling with activity today, and a last-minute banquet was organized. The invitations weren't sent to the homes of the various noble families until mid-afternoon, catching everyone off guard.
But he was not prepared and did not dare to offend the eldest princess.
At around noon, everyone arrived, bearing gifts. Lu Qingyan, the son of the Minister of Rites, was among them.
Guests lined up on both sides, toasting each other.
The eldest princess sat in the front seat, facing everyone.
Although she didn't talk to Lu Qingyan, her eyes were always on him.
Lu Qingyan's throat was dry, so he picked up the white jade wine pot inlaid with gems, poured a glass, and took a sip, but couldn't help laughing.
Pine leaf wine.
He mentioned it last time.
She actually thought about it all.
?
Since then, there have always been banquets at the Princess's Mansion, but the number of invitations sent out from the Princess's Mansion has been gradually decreasing.
After a few visits, we became more familiar with each other.
"There seem to be fewer guests." Lu Qingyan asked the eldest princess for confirmation.
The eldest princess looked at him quietly and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
They are not important.
It's him that matters.
The unfinished meaning is what most arouses people's heart.
The number of guests dropped from dozens to a dozen, and then to a few. Most of the faces disappeared, and the only one who remained was Lu Qingyan.
The last time, Yu Huan invited two people.
But unexpectedly, the man was so tactful and claimed to be sick and did not come, so only Lu Qingyan came to the house that day.
They sat at a table, looking at each other and laughing together, along with the invitation card that had been sent back on the pretext of illness.
When his friends joked that he was lucky, he couldn't refute them.
That night, Lu Qingyan came back from the Princess's Mansion drunk and went to bed to sleep. However, he lay there for half an hour and was still full of energy.
The alcohol made the eldest princess's face always appear in his mind. If he continued thinking about it, he was afraid that he would offend the eldest princess.
He got out of bed, draped in his clothes, and laid out the gifts the princess had given him one by one: a priceless, rare copy, ink worth more than gold, a mutton-fat jade pendant carved with pine leaf patterns, and the finest silver needle tea, scarce even in the palace...
The eldest princess is really nice to him.
