A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Chapter 208 Attending the Banquet Again

In the room, Xin Moyan, dressed in a pink silk phoenix-tail dress with butterflies, turned around in front of the mirror. Even after living here for several months, she still found it incredible how this body could be exactly the same.

"Miss, you look so beautiful tonight, let me paint a floral decoration on your forehead!"

"Herbal ornaments?"

Cailian led her to sit down at the dressing table and dipped a fine brush in red rouge.

"Miss, what pattern do you like?"

"Hmm~ It's a crabapple blossom! Like the pattern on your brother's robe."

"Yes, ma'am."

When she finished dressing and went to the front hall to find everyone, Xin Moling was being annoyed by Hua Buyu.

"Hua Buyu, I'm warning you, stay away from Yi'er."

Hua Buyu ignored him, hooked her arm around Shui Yi's, and smiled brightly, "Shui Yi, Yan Yan and I opened a milk tea shop. You've definitely never tried it before. We'll take you to try it tomorrow!"

"it is good."

Shui Yi responded softly, and looked up to see Xin Moyan running happily from the courtyard.

Her dress fluttered in the wind, the butterflies on it were lifelike, her eyes shone with a pure and clear light, as bright as stars, and the begonia flower decoration on her forehead made her makeup even more charming and beautiful, her cheeks were rosy and her smile was like a flower.

"Yan'er, you're here?" She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xin Moyan's hand.

"Sister Shuiyi".

A faint smile played at the corners of her eyes as she carefully examined Xin Moyan. "Yan'er, you look absolutely stunning tonight."

"Your sister is pretty too."

"Yan Yan, I was just saying I'd take Shui Yi to a bubble tea shop!"

“Great! Sister Shuiyi will definitely like it.”

"Yan'er, you're so cute and sensible, no wonder A-Ling always praises you." Shui Yi stroked her delicate and smooth hand, her face full of love and tenderness, her tone becoming more and more gentle as she spoke.

Xin Moyan smiled shyly, "Hehe~ No!"

"what?"

Her fingertip suddenly touched something foreign. She looked down and saw it was the pinky ring. "Yan'er is still wearing a ring!"

Xin Moyan quickly raised her hand so she could see it more clearly, "Sister, this was left to me by my mother."

"You... Mother?" She examined the patterns on it closely, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"Uh-huh!"

Xin Moling walked over and patted her younger sister on the shoulder. "Yan'er, it's getting late. The carriage is ready. Let's go!"

“Okay! Sister Shuiyi, we’ll go with you.” She and Hua Buyu each took Shuiyi’s arm, and the three of them walked out first, with Xin Moling following closely behind.

Along the way, the three girls chatted enthusiastically. Shui Yi was gentle and quiet, and as Xin Moyan's future sister-in-law, she and Hua Buyu were especially happy and had a good impression of Shui Yi.

The four of them arrived at the palace gate quickly. Wang Si had been waiting at Dingkun Gate for a long time. When he saw Xin Moyan get out of the carriage, he quickly ran to greet her.

"This old servant greets the Great General! Greetings to Princess Danhua!"

Xin Moling was helping Shui Yi slowly get out of the car when she saw it was Wang Si. She was a little surprised and said, "Eunuch Wang, there's no need to be so polite."

He bowed respectfully, and then noticed the extraordinary temperament of the woman in blue before him. Xin Moling's gaze and attitude towards her were clearly different, and Wang Si understood what was going on.

"Eunuch Wang, what are you doing here?"

Coming to his senses, he quickly smiled and said, "This old servant knew that the princess would arrive here later, so I ordered someone to prepare a carriage in advance. It will take about half an hour to get to the Chao'en Hall. This old servant was afraid that the princess would be tired."

Xin Moyan's lips twitched slightly. Why didn't anyone say anything about worrying her about being tired when she came to the palace before?

"Thank you for your kind offer, Father-in-law. My brother and I will walk there together right now."

"This……"

Xin Moling glanced at a sedan chair with gold phoenix brocade parked not far away, where a dozen palace servants were waiting quietly. Upon seeing this, his expression immediately changed, and he said angrily, "There's no need to trouble Steward Wang. Yan'er is used to traveling with us. Let's take that sedan chair away!"

After saying that, he reached out and took his sister's arm. "Yan'er, let's go!"

"it is good!"

They walked a few steps when Xin Moling suddenly turned around. "Eunuch Wang, where is His Majesty now?"

"General, His Majesty is currently in the Imperial Study. Are you going to pay your respects to His Majesty?"

"Ah."

Wang Si hurriedly stepped forward, “General, His Majesty has instructed that no foreign officials shall be seen before the banquet. General and Princess, please proceed to the Chao'en Hall first!”

His long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes seemed thoughtful, but he didn't say anything more. "Yan'er, let's go!"

Xin Moyan was quite perceptive and pulled Shui Yi a step closer to him, saying, "Brother, you take Sister Shui Yi, and I'll go with Buyu."

"Hehe~ Okay!"

His large hand gently enveloped her small, slightly cool palm, his eyes full of tenderness. "Yi'er, I'll take you to see your aunt later."

"Ah."

The Chao'en Hall was bustling with noise. Last night, many people witnessed Consort Ning and Princess Danhua struggling. Princess Danhua was not only exposed for having an affair, but she even pushed Consort Ning down in public. Everyone thought that Xin Moyan was doomed this time, but unexpectedly, it ended with Consort Ning being confined to her quarters. Most importantly, the person who had an affair with Xin Moyan was actually the mysterious and unpredictable Prince Xuan. This was truly unbelievable.

In the corner, Yuan Huaixue sat restlessly, biting her fingers.

After Lou Shenghan left last night, she couldn't sleep at all. She didn't even dare to go to the sacrificial ceremony to watch the excitement. Her brother had always despised such despicable methods. She had also heard that Lou Shenghan had spent half the morning in the Imperial Study. He would definitely complain. Her brother had just sent someone to Hanxue Palace to ask her to dress up for the occasion.

Could it be... that my royal brother is going to publicly depose me, the princess, later?

"Yuan Huaixue".

Lou Shenghan, dressed in a dark purple crane robe with a gold-inlaid jade belt around his waist, leaned against a pillar with a lazy and leisurely expression, staring at the foolish little princess with a half-smile.

"what!"

Yuan Huaixue was lost in thought when she looked up and saw that charming and arrogant face. She was so startled that she almost lost her balance and didn't dare to look into his eyes anymore.

"Prime Minister Lou... Prime Minister Lou."

"Hmm." He nodded and walked over to Yuan Huaixue's side.

"Princess Ga'en, why do you look so flustered?"

Yuan Huaixue's heart was pounding, and she looked extremely uneasy. She whispered, "You...did you tell my brother?"

"How could someone as capable as your royal brother not know that I stayed overnight in the palace last night? Not only that, even Prince Ze is now truly disappointed in you."

"What? Fifth Brother knows too?" Yuan Huaixue was almost in tears. She shouldn't have listened to Consort Yun.

Lou Shenghan had intended to tease her a little more, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw four people approaching from a distance. And who was that woman in blue? Xin Moling looked…

He suddenly smiled and said, "Oh! Brother Ling has arrived, and he's even brought a beauty with him!"
