The noble lord blocked the news, the gate of the palace was closed tightly, and all the ministers who came to visit the sick were blocked from the door, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.

The little prince was lucky enough to be able to stay in the Duke's mansion and be with his sister day and night.

The seven-year-old boy grew up overnight after experiencing the cruel reality.

The innocence of childhood is missing between the eyebrows and eyes, and there is more unspeakable depression and pain.

Lin Qingluo's heart ached for the exceptionally well-behaved and sensible little prince.

In my spare time, I searched for various introductions to chat and laugh with him, to amuse him and ease his grief.

"Sister, do you hate the empress?"

One evening, the siblings sat by the lotus pond to enjoy the sunset.

The little prince had suppressed his thoughts for a long time, but with his sister's gentle relief, he finally spoke out.

"I hate it, I just feel sorry."

Lin Qingluo's eyes flickered, and his heart felt sad: "I never thought of threatening the position of the princess, and I don't care about that position in my heart. That's not the life I want."

"Sister, do people have to grow up?"

The little prince pursed his lips, and threw himself into his sister's arms with red eyes.

"Xuan'er doesn't want to grow up, and doesn't want her mother to hurt her sister."

"Xuan'er, don't think about it anymore, the adults' business has nothing to do with you, as long as you grow up happily."

Lin Qingluo's heart surged with warmth, and he rubbed his little head, pampering him as always.

"Sister, Xuan'er wants to learn martial arts. My sister promised Xuan'er to teach Xuan'er how to practice martial arts at the age of seven."

The little prince suddenly raised his head, his eyes were firmer than ever before.

"Xuan'er has learned martial arts to protect her sister."

"Okay, my sister will teach Xuan'er how to practice martial arts."

The light in Lin Qingluo's eyes flowed, his eyebrows were gentle, and his eyes were illuminated by the inadvertent pampering.

The Duke of Zhen's mansion held a grand banquet to celebrate the return of his granddaughter, which lasted for more than half a month.

The rare feast attracted celebrities and scholars from all over the Seven Kingdoms.

Many arty talented scholars and beauties, celebrities and dignitaries gathered in the city of Kyoto from different places in fragrant cars and with their beautiful relatives.

All of a sudden, the city of Kyoto was full of beauties in fragrant cars, decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Celebrities and elegant scholars gather together, and the talented and beautiful people will naturally not be willing to be lonely.

The flower appreciation banquet, poetry appreciation party, and wine appreciation party were held one after another, and the invitation letters were sent to the town government's mansion one by one.

The talented Miss Di of Zhen Guogong Mansion has the most invitations.

Six handsome young men were also among the invitations.

Lin Qingluo didn't like to attend banquets, and sneered at the artyness of all the talented scholars and beautiful ladies who had nothing to do, drinking and composing poems.

However, just because you don't like it doesn't mean you won't attend.

Under the offensive of tears from her mother's mother-in-law Ai Ai, she could only bite the bullet and agree.

When Ye Xue'e saw that she agreed to participate in the flower viewing party, she immediately regained her spirits.

On the day of the flower viewing party, early in the morning, more than a dozen maids wandered around the young lady.

Hairpins make up, dress up, and look brand new from head to toe.

Lin Qingluo followed her mother's wishes, closed her eyes, and let the maids torment her.

Paste flowers on the forehead, and smear balm on both hands.

Putting on the most popular style of brocade clothes at the moment, with pearls and hairpins all over her head, she dresses up like a royal princess, with a graceful demeanor, noble and compelling.

"Ma'am, miss is ready."

Ying'er brought the maids of Luoxueju to work for nearly an hour before she dressed up properly and sent someone to Yaju Garden to invite the lady over.

"Well, Qingluo is really prettier than the daughter of the royal family with such a dress."
