Winter passes and autumn comes, the sun and moon reincarnate, and time flows endlessly.

Ten years later.

Today is the annual Lantern Festival.

It was only daytime, and colorful silk decorations were erected along the roadside. Even the restaurants in the city were hung with red lanterns. The vendors were arranging their items, planning to make a lot of money during the night.

"It's a nice day today."

A pleasant voice sounded, and the woman sitting at the table in the private room with the best view of the restaurant suddenly put down her tea cup, retracted her gaze that had been staring outside, and looked at the person opposite with her arms folded and her cheeks puffed up with a smile. The girl holding her.

The girl snorted coldly, her pretty face full of dissatisfaction: "Hmph, I originally wanted to take you to my shop to have a look, but for some reason you got the idea first! How can you be a princess? Instead, you are walking in peace. Those young men are similar! Look at you, running towards Concubine Ping’s palace every day, maybe you will be led astray by that bastard!"

"It's okay! It's nothing."

The one who spoke was the girl just now. She was dressed as a man, with a palm-sized face, picturesque eyebrows, lively eyes, and a pair of piercing almond eyes. Her black hair was tied up high, giving her a slightly juvenile appearance. She has fair skin, feathery eyelashes, and a cynical smile on her lips. She is flawlessly beautiful.

The two argued for a long time, but the woman on the other side who had never spoken suddenly said: "Okay, look at you two, you are about to have haircuts, and you are still like a child, how decent are you."

The two of them stopped immediately. Mingyan's eyes were crooked, she leaned over and hugged the woman's hand, and said coquettishly:

"Sister Xiaoyu, after you married your second brother, your seriousness and rigidity have really gone to the next level!" Mingyan pouted with a dissatisfied look on her face, but she soon smiled again and said, "Want me Come on, if the second brother can marry Sister Xiaoyu, you are considered to be a high achiever! I heard from my father that the Vice Minister is in the court every day, fearing that he will bring trouble to my father!"

An Yu had a soft temper and just patted the back of Mingyan's hand gently, then lightly tapped Mingyan's forehead and said helplessly:
"You, you, if the Emperor and Concubine Qin hadn't doted on you, I'm afraid you would have been lectured by Grandma Wang."

Aunt Wang is the nun responsible for discipline in the palace today. All the mistresses in the palace now have to be trained by her before officially entering the harem. She is the Aunt Yu who Mingyan met when she first met Pei Silin and Sang Qingyi. Auntie Wang is known for her harsh methods, but for some reason, she has always been kind to Mingyan.

But Mingyan has indeed seen Grandma Wang punishing the beautiful girl.

Thinking of that scene, Mingyan couldn't help but wince slightly and looked at An Yu pitifully: "Sister Xiaoyu, I really don't understand how you endured that kind of suffering! Fortunately, my father and mother took pity on me."

Hearing that Mingyan still looked confused, An Yu shook her head again, sighed and said -
"I really don't know which young man the emperor will marry Yan'er to in the future."

When Mingyan heard An Yu's words, she stuck out her tongue: "Sister Xiaoyu, Yan'er is still young!"

An Yu was helpless: "It will be your hair extension ceremony soon. Is this still early?"

Fu Wanxing's voice also intervened at this time, curled her lips and said: "Humph, the emperor's uncle and Concubine Qin are reluctant to marry her to any young man!" Fu Wanxing glanced at Mingyan and said coquettishly, " The other princes all hold banquets to select their concubines, but I’m afraid the emperor’s uncle is going to hold a banquet to select his consort.”

"You're the only one who talks too much!" Mingyan curled her lips again and sighed softly, "I still want to stay in the palace for a few more years."

"That's right! Our Yan'er is so good, I don't know which brat I should take advantage of! Our Yan'er is the only little princess in the Great Zhou Kingdom. When the time comes, Yan'er, whoever you like, you can take him back to be your consort." , Recruit as many consorts as you want."

The person who came was definitely Liang Xiaoyi.

An Yu saw Liang Xiaoyi coming and looked helpless: "Yi'er, so are you. You were very well-behaved when you were getting hair extensions. After you have become a mature girl over the years, how come your temperament is becoming more and more towards Yan'er and Wanxing?" Get closer." Before Liang Xiaoyi could say anything, she heard Fu Wanxing raise her hand high and said: "I know, I know! This is called 'the person who is close to Zhu is red'!"

The three people except Fu Wanxing couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter one after another -
Mingyan even said - "Fu Wanxing, what are you talking about? Sister Yi'er and I are 'the one who is close to the red, the red', and you are the 'the one who is close to the ink, the black'!"

Fu Wanxing was still confused. She pulled up Anyu's sleeves and looked like she was begging for an explanation.

An Yu explained dumbfoundedly.

Fu Wanxing then glared at Mingyan fiercely, and Mingyan responded with an innocent face.

"Okay, okay!" Liang Xiaoyi, the eldest, quickly separated the two to prevent them from quarreling again.

Mingyan was sitting next to Liang Xiaoyi at the moment. She seemed to remember what she had just said, and she couldn't laugh or cry--
"Sister Yi'er, I'm not a robber."

Liang Xiaoyi looked arrogant and completely different from the well-behaved girl before. She snorted - "It would be an honor for him to be snatched back by you!"

Liang Xiaoyi just celebrated her 25th birthday a few days ago, and her face has lost the youthfulness she had when she was 15, and now looks mature and intellectual.

Even if many matchmakers came to talk to famous young men in Beijing, they could not pry Liang Xiaoyi's mouth open.

For Liang Xiaoyi, no one can surpass the young man who was amazing when he was young.

But the young man already had his lover, married him, had children, and lived a harmonious and beautiful life, so she couldn't fight the couple.

The old marquis in the family passed away a few years ago, and the old lady and mother in the family also doted on her and followed her.

And over the years, she had become friends with the eldest princess's daughter, the second prince's concubine, and the younger princess. Naturally, no one in the capital dared to gossip about her in the street.

On the other hand, Mingyan, in the past few years, has transformed from a soft and white dumpling into a tall and graceful beauty who is now famous in the capital.

Not to mention, Emperor Shunhe has brought Mingyan to the court from time to time in recent years.

This made the elderly ministers who had been in the court for a long time all startled. They began to speculate on the emperor's thoughts and began to wonder if they were in the wrong team.

But when someone in the court came forward and boldly asked Emperor Shunhe about this matter, Emperor Shunhe was not angry, but instead gave a meaningful smile.

Even Mingyan, who was originally the most lovable person, looked at the ministers with an innocent expression.

Some people even went to deliver letters to the Heavenly Master privately, but the Heavenly Master did not express his position and just looked mysterious.

The group of ministers looked confused.
