When Lan You Nian and the others arrived at junzhu manor, there were already many people there.Today was Hua Mu Qing’s birthday.Based on Hua Mu Qing’s personality, she wouldn’t usuallyhold such a grand birthday banquet and invite so many sons and young misses of officials.Even a few imperial consorts have come.Lan You Nian heard this was the Emperor’s will.

Several of the wangye did not have an official consort.Although the Emperor wanted to intervene in Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan’s marriage, he knew these two sons wouldn’t listen to his arrangement.So he took advantage of Hua Mu Qing’s birthday to hold this banquet for everyone to interact more and allow several wangye see if they have a girl they favored.To speak frankly it was a blind date.

When Lan Mo Xian and Lan you Nian arrived at junzhu manor, Hua Mu Qing ran gaily to Lan You Nian’s side complaining, “You guys are finally here!Otherwise I can’t stay a minute longer!”

“Happy birthday!” Lan You Nian hugged Hua Mu Qing then took out a beautifully packaged box, “Birthday present!”

“Nian’er meimei gives the best gift!” Hua Mu Qing did not give it to the housekeeper like she did with the other gifts.Instead she personally placed Lan You Nian’s gift back in her room.

“This isn’t only little sister’s credit; I have a part in it too!” Lan Mo Xian blurted out.Hua Mu Qing’s face suddenly reddened, and did not bicker like usual.

Lan You Nian detected there was something going on between the two.Without her noticing, these two have started to have feelings for each other.She was truly optimistic about older brother and Hua Mu Qing.The two were not only well-matched, both of their personalities were forthright and daring, and the two were already old enough to marry.For Hua Mu Qing’s personality to enter Lan manor, it would be most fitting.

“Thanks!” Hua Mu Qing thanked.Lan Mo Xian awkwardly waved his hand and saw Lan You Nian suddenly laugh.

“Nian’er meimei, what are you laughing at?” Hua Mu Qing became even more red, uneasily shook Lan You Nian to try to prevent Lan You Nian from laughing.

Suddenly a blast of internal force blew by.Lan Mo Xian hurriedly wretched Hua Mu Qing away.If he were any slower, Hua Mu Qing would definitely have gotten hurt, though it wouldn’t be anything serious.

Hua Mu Qing was frightened.The hand that was pulled by Lan Mo Xian trembled.She turned back to see who dared to touch her in her own manor but when she looked back and saw Feng Xia Qi, Feng Yi Xuan and Jing Wu An, it was obvious the one who made the attack was Feng Yi Xuan.Feng Yi Xuan coldly glared at Hua Mu Qing’s hand, the hand that was just shaking Lan You Nian.

The anger Hua Mu Qing was going let out instantly vanished.She even hid behind Lan Mo Xian.She can clearly sense Ming wang was going to cut off her hand.Every time Ming wang was there, whether it was male or female, he didn’t allow any to get close to Nian’er meimei.Really strange!

“Enough A’Xuan, you can’t treat junzhu so roughly.After all, today is junzhu’s birthday!” Feng Xia Qi was shocked by his brother’s sudden move.He wanted to stop him but it was already too late.

Feng Yi Xuan shot Hua Mu Qing a warning look.Hua Mu Qing shrank her neck, and distanced herself from Lan You Nian.Only then did Feng Yi Xuan retract his cold gaze.

“Junzhu, who has come today?” He Chu Yang asked seeing the coming and going young masters and young ladies.

“Those who could come, all came.I heard the Emperor will come today too.It seems today there will definitely be some marriages gifted down!” Hua Mu Qing said with dissatisfaction.Her birthday mood was totally ruined by some people.Looking at those pretentious young ladies, she felt irritated.

Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes flashed.It seemed imperial father really wanted to gift marriage to some people but they knew imperial father wouldn’t gift them marriage.That night, they made things perfectly clear.If father was determined, then don’t blame them for rebelling.

“I say, you guys can’t run anymore!” Yu Liu Li suddenly appeared and teased the others.The imperial family was like this, without any freedom at all.Even marriage was like this.Luckily, he was in the pugilistic world, “Amongst you, robably only Nian’er meimei can escape.After all, Nian’er meimei is still young!”

Everyone nodded reassured.Lan You Nian was only thirteen.Girls would be arranged marriages when they were usually fifteen or sixteen.Emperor Feng Xuan was a relatively enlightened emperor wouldn’t make things difficult for others.Most of the time, many young masters and ladies had someone they liked so they would ask for marriage.

“Mu Qing jiejie don’t be angry.How about after the banquet, we go sit at Xiao Jin Pavilion?” Lan You Nian cajoled Hua Mu Qing’s angry little face.

“Really?” Hua Mu Qing and Yu Liu Li cried gleefully.Hua Mu Qing was simply curious while Yu Liu Li goes wherever it was lively.

“No!” Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, He Chu Yang, Lan Mo Xian five refused.Although Xiao Jin Pavilion wasn’t as licentious as other brothels, but it was still a brothel.What woman goes to brothels?If Lan You Nian was led astray, what were they to do?Everyone looked at disapproval at Lan You Nian.

“Nian’er already arranged a box.Even it if it’s not allowed, we’re still going.This is settled!” Lan You Nian ignored several of the other’s looks and said to Hua Mu Qing, “Mu Qing jiejie, spending your birthday like this will definitely be different!”

“Nian’er meimei you are too good!You know, I have wanted to go to a brothel to see what it looks like for a long time.Today I finally can go!” Hua Mu Qing said happily only for Lan Mo Xian look at Hua Mu Qing unhappily.

“The last time I went with Feng Xia Qi to Xiao Jin Pavilion, the ladies there were really..tsk tsk!” Yu Liu Li reflected back on the memory.

“Hey, Yu Liu Li, I didn’t do anything.You were the one who dragged me there!” Feng Xia Qi instantly cleared all connection, with an expression of I am innocent.

“I didn’t do anything either.I just went to take a look.What are you panicking about!” Yu Liu Li looked down at Feng Xia Qi then to Lan You Nian, he said charmingly, “Nian’er meimei, you picked the box on the third floor right?”

“What?Not willing?” Lan You Nian deliberately pretended to be angry.Every time she went to visit Wu Qing Pavilion’s businesses, she always took the third floor.This was a force of habit.
