I don't know how long it took before there was a sound of a zither in the air, and it was Yan Xi who stopped what he was doing.

He raised his eyes and quietly looked at the attendant who had grown up with him, his face cold.

"I don't have to say that again."

The attendant bowed his head and muffled.

…

Early the next morning, there were carriages coming in and out in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the little attendants of the family stood on the periphery, greeting them from time to time to show the way.

Because it was the first time that the empress had attended a banquet after returning to Beijing, it was both an honor and a responsibility for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone stared nervously, for fear that something would go wrong.

After all, almost all the characters with heads and faces have come over today.

If it weren't for the invitation of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion to enjoy the flowers, it is estimated that those old fritters in the officialdom would have to find an excuse to come over.

But if they can't come, it doesn't mean that they will give up, no, they sent all the sons of the right age in their house over.

It is said to be a long insight, but everyone knows what the real purpose is.

When it's being arranged in an orderly manner here, a certain protagonist in the palace is still lying in bed.

No way, in order to prevent her from forgetting etiquette outside all these years, the little girl was trained last night.

When His Royal Highness came over, he saw her standing there in a daze, and the maids around her skillfully dressed her.

Seeing her little head little by little, not noticing her arrival at all, His Royal Highness couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't the imperial sister still sleeping?"

Ding Jue smiled awkwardly, quickly restrained his expression, and said hello politely and proportionately.

"Your Highness had some hard work yesterday, it's normal that you didn't wake up at this point, the slaves and maids are used to it, and they won't delay the two Highnesses from going out."

The Fifth Highness tried to hold back the smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded, and thoughtfully found a good step for the little girl.

"It doesn't matter, as the imperial sister, no one dares to say anything even if she is the last one to go."

Mainly, a certain little girl looks really pitiful.

By the time she finished cleaning up, Gardenia was almost awake.

He raised his hand and yawned, and the little voice was still muttering and complaining.

"I said I couldn't go to bed that late!"

The maid arranged the hem of her sleeves, lowered her head and retreated, and said skillfully perfunctorily.

"No one will be able to take care of you today."

In fact, this matter has been arranged a long time ago, but a few days ago, the little girl ran to the flower building every day, not only those officials couldn't catch anyone, but the empress couldn't do anything about her, so she could only hold on to her temporarily.

Thinking of this, Gardenia touched the tip of her nose a little weakly, and chose to expose the topic.

"Let's go, it's time to go."

His Royal Highness smiled and replied, and after confirming that she was really awake, the two of them got into the carriage and left the palace.

…

When I arrived at the place, all the guests had almost arrived, sitting there chatting in twos and threes.

There are two side-by-side seats above, one is the organizer of today's banquet, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the other is the current prince and future empress.

The bottom is divided into two rows, left and right.

The female kingdom is honored on the left, so on the left is the seat of the noblewoman, and on the right is the unmarried son.

Among them, the royal highness is in the front position, and the rest are arranged according to the family.

Hearing the maid's announcement, everyone subconsciously looked towards the entrance.

Gardenia is wearing a purple dress today, the faint dark lines on the fabric are shining in the sun, and her little face is delicate and beautiful.
