During the last hunt, Yuwen Fei had allowed Huai Jin to build good relations with the young ladies of the martial general family. Although he did not spend much time with them after he settled the matter with Lan Ling, he could guess that it would still have some effect.

When they heard that Huai Jin had been assassinated in the hunting grounds, each of them had people deliver some things to the Yongan Palace.

On the letter, Su Ling kept asking Huai Jin about what happened after she returned to the palace on the day of the hunt.

I love you, Jun Wu Yi, and Jun Wu Yi is like a pair of shoes. Princess Anping, who had originally been the subject of criticism, had now become the object of everyone's sympathy.

Although Su Ling was moved by the story in the book, she still wanted to ask Huai Jin about it. However, she was afraid that the letter would not be able to explain it clearly, so she decided to wait until the next festival banquet to personally ask for confirmation from Huai Jin.

Su Ling's letter mentioned that the next day would be on the 15th day of the 10th lunar month. According to the usual practice, the palace would always hold a gathering of the palace feast's women in order to let them have a breather in the palace.

However, for some reason this year, even the emperor was paying attention to what was originally a female banquet. He even invited the officials and young masters over, saying that it was a lively scene.

Every single person in the capital was intelligent, so how could they not know the Emperor's intentions? After entering the palace, they had to be more careful, especially the few people living in houses in Yongan Alleyway, who were even more cautious.

The atmosphere among the men was heavy, but the women were all elated. After all, it wasn't easy to enter the palace. Moreover, this year, the emperor had also hosted a banquet, and the young masters of the various clans had also come. If they had the chance, they might even be able to achieve this achievement through marriage. As a result, the ladies of the various families carefully inspected the appearance of their young lady, afraid that there might be something funny about her appearance.

All the carriages stopped in front of the palace gates and lined up to be inspected. After the inspection, there was a small palanquin that carried the female servants to the banquet site. All of a sudden, the imperial harem was bustling with noise and excitement. The female servants were all sizing each other up, afraid that they would be suppressed.

Because Huai Jin was a woman that hadn't yet left the pavilion, she wasn't suitable for those complicated, stable girls, and didn't like jewelry that was too much. After considering it again and again, Ran Mei decided to roll up a bun for Huai Jin, wearing only a pearl hairpin and a scarlet gold phoenix tail on either side of her head.

Everything stopped, Ran Mei stared at Huai Jin's face in the mirror, her expression congealed.

”What's wrong?” Huai Jin saw that her expression was heavy and thought that there was something wrong with it. She carefully looked at his reflection in the mirror again and there was nothing wrong with it.

Lan Ling, who had already finished packing, came over to take a look. When she saw the surprise that appeared on Huai Jin's back, she opened her mouth wide, but still shook her head.

Huai Jin didn't know how the two of them were unsatisfied, but after seeing that they both stood up and was about to leave, she was pressed down by Ran Mei.

”It's still not enough!” A pearl was imprinted on his forehead, and his whole face started to twitch.

Only then did the two of them nod.

After packing up, the three of them followed a group of palace maids and left Yongan Palace.

Originally, Huai Jin did not want Lan Ling to come, but Lan Ling insisted on going there. With his personality, Huai Jin was afraid that she would cause trouble by leaving him in the palace, so she brought him along.

Normally, the palace feast was set up in the imperial garden, but because of the recent incident with the peony, this year's palace feast was changed to the Hall of Treasure and Peace.
