The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

On the eighth day of September, an auspicious day, the red sun was setting in the west, and the sunset glow was like fiery fire, reflecting the flowing light of the golden palace, making it dazzling.

Three days before the Wanshou Festival, Yundu was already dressed up. Red silk was spread all the way from the city gate to the imperial palace, and both sides of the long street were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. The people all changed into new clothes to celebrate the event together.

The palace was filled with even more joy. On this day, palace servants were allowed to wear their own colorful clothes as an exception. The more festive the better. Whether eunuchs or palace maids, they all wore red flowers in their hair and had smiles on their faces. The atmosphere was unusually relaxed.

Rong Heqing walked along and found the scene quite novel. It was completely different from the feeling she had when she first arrived.

It was only then that she really felt that "today is a good day".

Rong Qiao followed her and watched the palace servants passing by bowing to them. He couldn't help but take a few more glances and whispered, "The birthday banquet hasn't even started yet and it's already so lively. How grand will the Jinxiu Palace be in a while?"

He grew up in South City. Although he had heard about the prosperity of the Imperial City, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he always didn't take it seriously.

He thought the birthday banquet held by the King of Annan was grand and lavish enough, but it was nothing compared to the Wanshou Festival. No wonder everyone wanted to be the emperor!

He showed a bit of envy on his face, and the next moment he was hit on the head by Rong Heqing, "Ouch - why did you hit me?"

"You're drooling, what are you doing?"

Rong Heqing glanced at him and warned, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Even if you do, don't show it on your face."

Rong Qiao covered his forehead and muttered, "I know."

Seeing that they were about to reach the Jinxiu Palace, Rong Heqing raised his hand to stroke the golden hairpin on his head, took a deep breath, and slowly walked up the stairs.

Suddenly, a laugh came from behind: "A Ning is here with Liang Tanhua again?"

When Rong Heqing heard the words "Liang Tanhua", she could not walk anymore. She looked back and saw two noble ladies in gorgeous dresses and gold and silver jewelry coming towards her arm in arm.

The pretty girl in the pink dress on the right is Chen Zhining.

Chen Zhining smiled, patted his companion's arm gently, and said lightly: "You are the only one who talks too much."

But the happiness and slight pride on her face could not be concealed.

It seems that she really likes Liang Changjin, but does she know that Liang Changjin is so dark?

Rong Qiao raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Hey, come back to your senses."

Rong Heqing grabbed his paw and threw it away, "Stop it."

Rong Qiao rolled his eyes, "Who is making trouble? What are you doing standing here? Everyone is looking at us."

When Rong Heqing came back to his senses, he saw Chen Zhining and another young lady looking up at him.

When their eyes met, it was somewhat awkward.

Before Rong Heqing could speak, Chen Zhining bowed and said, "This sister is so beautiful, but I have never seen her before. I wonder which family she is from?"

Rong Heqing returned the greeting and said gently, "I am Rong Heqing."

Chen Zhining and his companions looked at each other in surprise, then looked at Rong and Qing. Chen Zhining smiled and said, "So it's Princess Changle. I'm sorry. I'm Chen Zhining, and she's Jing Ran."

There were people behind them, so it was inconvenient for them to stay here. After greeting each other, they went into the Jinxiu Palace.

When they sat down, Rong Heqing was sitting next to Chen Zhining, but Miss Jing was sitting a little further away.

Rong Heqing and Chen Zhining looked at each other and said, "We are really destined to be together."

Chen Zhining nodded with a perfect smile on his face.

If you can't start with Liang Changjin, you might as well try Chen Zhining.

Rong Heqing's mind raced as he asked softly, "Just now I heard Miss Jing mention Liang Tanhua, is it Liang Changjin?"

Chen Zhining looked at her in surprise, "Does the princess recognize him?"

The fish is hooked.

Rong Heqing smiled and said, "I have met him once before. A few days ago, I was strolling on the street and saw a group of people surrounding a young man. I went up to ask them and found out that the young man was Liang Tanhua."

"What? Is this true?" Chen Zhining suddenly became anxious. "Who blocked him? Is he injured? Where did they block him?"

Rong Heqing paused, frowned slightly, and waited until Chen Zhining's heart was aroused before she slowly said, "I arrived in time, and Lord Liang was not injured. Those hooligans were also sent to Yundu Mansion. I don't know what happened next. I don't think they will give up, but they don't seem to have any blood feud. It's more like they are looking for trouble. I don't know who ordered them to do it?"

As she spoke, she observed Chen Zhining's expression out of the corner of her eye. At first, Chen Zhining looked a little confused, but then he seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly turned cold, and even his hands on his legs clenched.

What does she know?!

Rong Heqing immediately asked, "Miss, do you have any ideas?"

Chen Zhining seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he was worried about something.

Seeing this, Rong Heqing sighed deliberately, "Alas, I wonder if anyone will cause trouble for him in the future. I wonder if he will meet a kind-hearted person like me next time~"

"No!" Chen Zhining said firmly, "I will never let anyone bully him again."

Rong Heqing was stunned, "Miss, do you know who did it?"

Having said that, Chen Zhining did not hide anything and held her hand gratefully, saying, "Thank you, Princess, for saving me. Zhining has no way to repay you. I did not want to talk about others behind their backs, but that person was really too much. If you see him and Brother Changjin together in the future, please help them. Zhining will be grateful!"

"Miss, what you are talking about is——"

"Wei Rucheng, the second son of the Marquis of Yongkang! This man is the most shameless and ungrateful. He tried to please me before, but I rejected him on the grounds that I had a lover. At that time, he said that he wanted to teach Brother Changjin a lesson. I thought he was just talking, but I didn't expect him to be so willful and audacious!"

Chen Zhining was so angry that her face turned red. Rong Heqing saw this and quickly picked up a bowl of sweet soup on the table and gave it to her, "Miss, don't be angry. Take care of yourself."

"Thank you."

Chen Zhining took the sweet soup and took two sips, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

Just at this moment, the eunuchs' singing was heard from outside, and the emperor had arrived -

The two men immediately stood up and knelt down with the others, and the conversation was diverted.

When we sat down later, Chen Zhining forgot to mention it.

Rong Heqing didn't remind her, but just stared at the cup in front of him thoughtfully.

However, her attention was soon attracted by the congratulatory message read by Lord Zhang. After the message was delivered, the emperor looked very pleased.

Then Lord Zhang took the lead in holding the cup, and the ministers followed suit.

Rong Heqing also stood up and walked out of the line. Everyone raised their glasses and said, "I wish our emperor a long and everlasting life! Long live our emperor—"

The sound was loud and deafening.

Rong Heqing's heart couldn't help but be excited.

The emperor stood up with the cup in his hand and said with a smile, "Good!"

He drank first, and then the ministers followed suit.

After drinking the cup, everyone returned to their seats and the musicians imitated the singing of hundreds of birds. The banquet officially began.
