”Whose son is this?” the Empress finally asked.
”This is Lian Xiang's son. His elder sister Lian Yue is sitting over there.” When the princess heard the Queen Mother ask about the Lian Fu, she skipped over to the mama and answered.
The empress nodded. ”So it's the young master of the Minister Lian.”
Lian Ruyue heard the discussion about the art, and her face unconsciously revealed a proud smile. Gu'er had already lost his childishness, and now that she saw the handsome man, she became even more charming.
He really hoped that Yi'er would be able to obtain a skillful and gentle man who truly treated his wife with sincerity. The two of them loved each other dearly and lived a simple life, without having to plot against each other.
She would work hard, try to get rid of the bad things around her, to make him happy! Lian Ruyue silently swore in her heart.
”Young Miss Lian, the empress has invited you.” Just as she was lost in thought, the empress's eldest palace maid, Sherry, walked up to Lian Ruyue and bowed as she spoke.
The empress invited him? Lian Ru Yue stood up and bowed to Xue Li. ”Yes, please lead the way, Aunt Xue Li.”
Lian Ru Yue was brought before the empress and knelt down to pay her respects. ”Ru Yue greets the empress and pays her respects.”
As someone who had been a queen before, she was very familiar with the etiquette of the palace. Thus, her every word and action exuded the dignified bearing of a direct daughter of the prime minister.
The Eleventh Princess winked at her and said, ”Greetings to you, princess. How are you?”
”No need to be so polite!” At this time, Princess Eleven doesn't feel so disgusted with Lianyue anymore because she asked Lianyue to come and beg for forgiveness. She could still get a fawn from Lianyue.
the queen asked. ”Yesterday I heard you had a shock riding a horse. How was it?”
”Thank you for your concern, esteemed Empress. Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to receive the assistance of His Highness the empress, so I'm unharmed. This matter has disturbed the Empress and the other empress, causing the moon to tremble in fear.”
The empress nodded and said, ”It's good that you're fine. Today, I'll have a good time with the others.”
”Yes.” Lian Xiyue bowed once more.
From the very beginning, she had been paying attention to this couple of moons, including how she cleverly resolved the tension between Xiao Rou and Liu Xi. She discovered that even though she was young, she was more patient and mature than the others, like a lotus flower in a pool of water. Although she didn't fight over it, it made one have no choice but to pay attention to her.
Xu Xian Fei could not help but secretly nod her head. If Ye'er could get married to her, it would be great. She was very satisfied with her identity, status, and personal cultivation.
”It's boring to let the ladies just watch the men hunt. They're all young girls, and I'm afraid their hearts have long since flown away. I think it's better for us to play by ourselves. Empress, what do you think about chenqie's suggestion?” At this moment, Consort Xuan suddenly stood up, walked in front of the empress, and said.
The empress did not want to see Consort Xuan and could not help but wrinkle her brow. However, it was not easy to refute her on the surface, especially when she saw that these children were really eager to give it a try.
”Go, be careful.”
When the ladies heard the empress's approval, they all cheered happily, especially Xiao Rou. She was clearly the happiest as she excitedly said, ”Men's hunting competition. Let's have a competition as well, what do you think?”
”In order to let the girls have their own activities, yesterday I requested the emperor to draw out an area, and there are some wild rabbits, lynx, and other animals that can't hurt people's little prey for our use in riding and shooting. With the emperor's understanding, we had them arrange it last night, but I didn't think that the Xiao family's daughter would just so happen to suggest it, so let's go.”
