Wu Yin'er raised a sweet smile and said very shyly: "I haven't had time to thank Third Sister for what she gave me."
"Oh." Wu Sheyue said casually, "It's just a little thing, you don't need to worry about it." Then she looked around alone, looking for acquaintances.
"Yes." Wu Yin'er nodded. Seeing that she no longer paid attention to what he meant, he wisely slowed down and stepped back so as not to cause Wu Sheyue any more trouble.
Because Wu Hantian has been staying in the palace, they don't have to wait for anyone. Not long after everyone walked there, Wu Sheyue saw Shen Yanhuan waiting for her by the first door as usual. There is a tall and handsome man beside her, her brother Shen Yanxi.
"Huan'er." Wu Sheyue immediately left the whole family behind and happily threw herself into the arms of others.
Shen Yanhuan smiled playfully and pulled her back, "You're here, hurry up and leave."
Wu Sheyue and Shen Yanxi nodded, and the three of them went in, leaving a bunch of people in the Prime Minister's Mansion watching silently behind. Wu Jinghua couldn't help but complain, "She really thinks that she has turned into a phoenix!"
However, when she said this, no one resonated with her. Wu Liuyun had been keeping a cold face recently and no one wanted to talk to her. Wu Yin'er smiled as brightly as a flower, so Wu Ziqi could still use the stern expression. His eyes were fixed on Wu Sheyue's back, but there was no way he could help.
Wu Jinghua curled his lips angrily when no one paid attention to him, and began to look for his friends to fly solo. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Chunwan's family was already...

Wu Sheyue and the Shen brothers and sisters were walking on the palace path. She glanced at Shen Yanhuan's lips and said suspiciously, "Are you happy?"
"Of course~" Shen Yanhuan couldn't hold it in anymore and immediately started talking, "You know what happened recently, right? Let me tell you, the prince dang is all lonely now~ There is Wu Hantian, my father has always disliked him, doesn’t he-"
"Huan'er!" Shen Yanxi raised her voice and reminded her.
"Huh?" Shen Yanhuan suddenly realized that she had forgotten Wu Sheyue's identity. It seemed wrong for her to happily talk nonsense about something happening in the prime minister's house. She quickly explained: "Yue'er, what I mean is-"
Wu Sheyue patted her shoulder comfortingly. She knew that General Shen and Prime Minister Wu didn't want to deal with her, and she and Wu Hantian didn't deal with them anyway. "Don't worry, if you want to chop him up, I can hand you a knife."
"ah… "
The brother and sister were both a little stunned. Wu Sheyue suddenly changed the topic, "I haven't asked you yet, where have you taken Mr. Qinghan recently? I went there three times and never found him."
In fact, she told nonsense three times just to expose Shen Yanhuan's background. "I..." Shen Yanhuan was stunned for a moment and did not answer.
But Shen Yanxi really caught the point and asked her with a serious face, "Who is Qinghan?!"
Shen Yanhuan glared at her brother angrily, "I asked you not to interrupt!"
"I, I care about you!" Shen Yanxi frowned, that Qinghan should be a man, right? It must be a man, right? How could he not be nervous!
Shen Yanhuan muttered unhappily, "I really regret bringing you here."
"You-" Shen Yanxi sighed, it was obvious... that he had brought her here.
Wu Sheyue stared at the two people in stunned silence. They were so happy interrupting the fight. She was keenly aware of Shen Yanhuan's deliberate actions. It seemed that she didn't want to say anything. Wu Sheyue didn't want to force it, so she talked about other things.
I don't know if it was a matter of state of mind, but Wu Sheyuelao felt that there was no atmosphere for a major festival in the palace, but instead it was a bit desolate with a forced smile. Including the main table after a while, it was really weird from beginning to end.
First of all, all the decorations in the palace are very plain, even a bit perfunctory, and it doesn't look like it is celebrating a new year at all. Back then, events like the Hundred Flowers Banquet, which was like a blind date, were held with great grandeur. It was really aggrieved to be like this on the Yuan'an Festival.
Next are the people who come to the banquet. After Wu Sheyue separated from the Shen brothers and sisters, she sat back in her old seat. When everyone gradually arrived, she discovered that Xin Zhi came alone. There was no concubine following him. It seemed that Wu Lixiang was really just a concubine to him, even being exempted from the banquet. This means that Wu Hantian really can't do anything, otherwise he doesn't know whether he will fall out with Xin Zhi.
Later, Xue Yan's appearance also caused many people here to talk about it. This talented man was famous for his limited fame and fortune and his stubborn temperament. He refused all high-level meetings in the temple. It was more difficult to see him enter the palace than to reach heaven. But why does it appear here? Because of the recent... Did that incident give this talented man an idea
Wu Sheyue paid great attention to details. She could feel that there were fewer officials in the hall than before, but she couldn't tell who was missing. But it can be seen that the emperor was so angry that he pulled out many people.
With this in mind, she looked at Xin Yu again. The prince no longer had the high spirits of the past, and just looked ahead with a straight face and an expressionless expression. In this way, he looked a bit like a couple to Wu Liuyun.
Yu Jing happened to be near Xin Yu. He and Wu Sheyue looked at each other before moving away calmly. Wu Sheyue just saw the joy in Yu Jing's eyes, and she felt relieved immediately, lowering her head and smiling.
Wu Yin'er blinked her big eyes and looked at Wu Sheyue, then at Yu Jing.

When the time came, the emperor and the empress helped the queen mother into the hall, and everyone stood up to greet her as usual. The start of the banquet was also very dull. The Queen Mother sat at the head with an expression that was clearly very dissatisfied. She definitely hopes that the palace will get better and better. If she doesn't celebrate this kind of festival properly, she is making herself uncomfortable.
The "sacrifice" of colleagues was heavy. Of course, some were happy and some were sad. After a few singing and dancing, everyone still had their own thoughts.
Wu Sheyue secretly looked at the expressions of everyone in the audience. Just when she thought the Queen Mother would become unable to sit still and stand up to leave the table, the singing and dancing ended and they left. A eunuch from outside ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from the cold land wants to see you."
Wu Sheyue subconsciously went to see Yu Jing. Apparently Yu Jing was also staring at the eunuch in astonishment. He didn't know someone was visiting from the cold land? Shouldn't Handi ventilate with him secretly first
"Handi..." The emperor smiled playfully, "The last Hundred Flowers Banquet was supposed to be when Handi and Mingqi came. I thought Handi didn't have time to pay attention to Long Fu this year, but it turned out that it was moved. It’s a day. Then declare it.”
"yes."
Following the eunuch's high-pitched tone, a man and a woman in white clothes walked into the hall empty-handed. The white color of the two people is the same as Yu Jing's style, both are elegant and dusty, like the cold winter snow.
Many people have turned their attention to Yu Jing. If no one from Handi came, there would be no problem with his appearance. But people from the cold area also dress like this when they come, which is undoubtedly a hint that Yu Jing does not belong to Long Fu.
ps: Did I spell Mr. Shen’s name correctly? I can't find the details of the supporting characters in the synopsis, and it's a bit confusing... Please correct me. (To be continued)
