Lu Jian and Wen Shuhe got out of the carriage, took the post, and after stamping it with the guards at the door, they entered the imperial city.

On the road, people kept coming to greet them, most of them were official ladies that Lu Jian didn't know.

After walking for a long time, I finally came to the hall where the birthday banquet was held, and the banquet only started at noon, and it was only the middle of the day, and it was still early before it started.

There are already a lot of official ladies in this hall, son. Calvary was dressed very gorgeously and elegantly, and after Lu Jian and Wen Shu said hello to some of the two of them who had a good relationship with each other, they found a place to sit down.

Each table is decorated with fresh fruits and desserts.

"Ah Jian, the second lady of the Wang family, who studied painting with me before, is here, you can go over with me to say hello" Wen Shuhe looked out of the door, and saw a cute woman with big eyes and a small round face standing outside the hall talking to someone.

"Hmm"

This person is Wang Ranran, the second lady of the Wang family, who often came to Lufu to find Wen Shuhe, the two met in the painting academy, and the relationship was very good.

Lu Jian also likes this girl very much, her personality is a little arrogant, and she is very likable.

The two walked over, and before they got closer, Wang Ranran saw the two of them, and a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly greeted them.

"You two came so early," Wang Ranran said.

"It's not too early, just arrived for a while"

………

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, they were ready to go inside and sit down and continue talking.

"You guys go first, I'll walk around, and I'll look for you later" Lu Jian said to the two of them. This is the second time she has entered the imperial city, the last time she came, she only left immediately after finishing her business, and she really hadn't wandered around in this imperial city, this time, it was a good opportunity.

"Hmm"

Wen Shu snorted.

"Ah Jian, don't get lost, this imperial city is big" Wang Ranran winked at Lu Jian, a little naughty.

"I see, it's you who is lost, right?" Lu Jian teased. She remembered that once, Wen Shuhe said that when she first went to the art academy to learn painting, there was often a female classmate who got lost in the art academy and couldn't find a place to take classes.

"Poof" Wen Shuhe couldn't help laughing.

"Shh

Wang Ranran rolled her eyes at Lu Jian and Wen Shuhe, saying that she didn't want to mention this matter again, and then pulled Wen Shuhe towards the hall.

Lu Jian raised her eyebrows, this little girl, she will go to work in the Ruyi Pavilion in the future, and she can't find the north every day?

After the two entered the hall, Lu Jian also turned around and walked towards the outside of the garden.

This imperial city is very large, and if it weren't for the signs leading to various places at every fork in the road, maybe she would have lost her way.

Although she came out for a walk, Lu Jian didn't dare to go too far, after all, there were many rules and taboos in this imperial city, and there were many places where outsiders couldn't enter casually, so she was just wandering around.

There is a garden not far from the hall, there is a pond in it, there are many lotus flowers planted in the pond, one by one standing on the water surface, looking at a red from a distance, there is a red koi swimming under the lotus from time to time, the scenery is pleasant.

At the edge of the pond there is a wooden bridge, and at the end of the wooden bridge is a very spacious pavilion, which extends to the middle of the pond, and the pavilion is located right in the middle of the pond, and the pavilion is surrounded by colorful lotus flowers.

Lu Jianben also wanted to go to the pavilion to watch the lotus flowers, but there were too many people in the pavilion, so he didn't go, and then walked towards the next garden.

Just after walking a few steps, Lu Jian saw a familiar figure, and the figure happened to see her too, stretched out his hand to say hello to her, and trotted over.

"I was about to look for you, and you came," Mu Xuanyue straightened out her hairstyle and said to Lu Jian.

"Just right, together," Lu Jian said.

Lu Jian and the others were just about to leave, when they saw two young men dressed gorgeously walking towards them.

"Two young ladies, I wonder if I will have the honor to visit the garden with the two young ladies?" One of the men in blue smiled and arched his hand, leaning slightly towards the two of them.

"Can't"

Lu Jian and Mu Xuanyue glanced at each other and were about to refuse, but they were interrupted by a magnetic and somewhat cold voice.

Several people looked towards the owner of the voice, only to see a handsome young man in a purple robe walking over.

The two men who wanted to talk to each other saw the comer, and the expressions on their faces froze. Yan?

Xiao Ye glanced at the two of them coldly, and the two men only felt a chill on their backs, so they hurriedly saluted Xiao Ye, and after saying something to Master Xiao, they hurriedly walked away.

Lu Jian was a little speechless, how could these two people run faster than they came, as if they had seen a ghost.

"You're in a bad mood today?"

Lu Jian looked at Xiao Ye's unkind face and had some questions.

"It's okay now" Xiao also pursed his lips, and his face returned to normal.

What a moody man, Lu Jian muttered inwardly.
