The next day, the morning light was dim and the warm sun rose in the east.

Deyin walked towards the coral table in front of the window and picked up the dark purple hibiscus dress that Luwu brought yesterday. The cool silk slipped through my fingers. The annual palace banquet made the whole palace busy. The servants went in and out to take care of the things needed for entering the palace today.

"Miss, this is the shrimp buns and jade core soup that Madam asked the kitchen to send." Behind Luwu followed a woman of the same age as her, Qingxuan, who was also sent by her mother to take care of her. Qingxuan bowed to Deyin and then shyly hid behind Luwu. This small action of Qingxuan reminded her of her past self.

Deyin held Lvwu's shoulders and pushed her to sit on the chair. "Lvwu, I don't want to hear the word slave again when you are with me in the future, understand?" She didn't want to see her belittle herself like this. She shouldn't be so restrained at such a young age. Deyin also turned around and said to Qingxuan that she should call herself "I" in front of her in the future.

Deyin wore a dark purple hibiscus dress. The lavender silk outlined her slender waist. A few hairpins adorned her hair. With a little makeup, she was already a beautiful woman. She pursed her lip baldness in front of the mirror. It was easy to see from her upturned lips that she was very satisfied with her outfit today.

The carriage stopped outside the mansion for a long time. E'niang and Deyin got on the carriage together. E'niang took out a jade pendant and tied it around her waist.

"Yinyin, this is the jade pendant your brother brought back from the palace. He said it was awarded by the emperor. You must wear it well." Deyin lowered her head and looked carefully at the jade around her waist. She saw that only half of the pattern on the jade was left. It seemed that it was a pair of jades. She didn't know who the emperor awarded the other piece to.

Deyin stood in the Forbidden City. The gradually fading afterglow added a touch of majesty to it. Although she had visited here many times before, it was only when she was in this era that she felt it was truly unattainable.

Deyin and Ama E'niang followed the maid's instructions to the Qianqing Palace, where the ministers' families and princes sat in the magnificent golden palace. When the ministers saw Bai Dao coming with his family, they all rushed forward to greet him and pushed Bai Dao to the seat of honor.

Deyin saw Li Liang and Ba Beile looking in her direction, so she immediately turned around, took her mother's hand and helped her sit down. I didn't expect to meet again so soon. Thinking of the embarrassment of yesterday, Deyin's face flushed.

"The Emperor has arrived." Emperor Kangxi and the Empress walked slowly towards the throne, wearing court robes, looking solemn and serious.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the empress." Everyone knelt down immediately, and Deyin bent down like her mother.

"Everyone, please stand up. I am hosting a banquet today. My dear ministers, please don't be restrained." The emperor looked at the queen and said with a smile.

The moment Deyin raised his head, he met the eyes of the Eighth Prince. He wanted to dodge, but because of his status, he greeted him with his eyes and sat down. It was the first time I saw such exquisite food, so I focused on the green plum soup and black chicken hot pot, and didn't care what they talked about.

"Today, I have something else to do. I want to take advantage of this Mid-Autumn Festival to promote you to the position of Grand Tutor." Bai Dao led his family to express his gratitude. Deyin and his brother Liliang attracted the emperor's attention when they knelt behind their parents.

"Lord Bai, this is your talented daughter. Purple goes well with a beautiful woman. It is indeed extraordinary to see her today."

Deyin walked forward and knelt before the emperor again, "Your servant, Niuhulu Deyin, pays homage to Your Majesty." "That beautiful Meng Jiang, Deyin has never forgotten her. It is indeed a nice name." Seeing the emperor's pleased face, she dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

The jade pendant on his waist hit the ground with a crisp sound. When Deyin was about to reach out and move it up, he heard, "Why does this jade pendant look so familiar to me? It looks like the one that belonged to Yinsi."

No way, Deyin slowed down her movements and glanced at Li Liang. Duiyu's significant other was with the Eighth Prince, which would be gossip in modern times. She didn't dare to make any big moves and just waited for the emperor to continue.

Yinsi looked down at the jade pendant on his waist and saw that it was a pair with the woman kneeling in the middle of the hall. He put down his wine glass and smiled inadvertently.

"Old Eight, what's going on? Why didn't you tell Father Huang even after you gave him the jade pendant?"

Yinsi bowed to the emperor and explained, "I gave the jade pendant to Li Liang, and Li Liang told me that his sister liked it very much, so he gave the jade to Deyin."

The emperor took the queen's hand and said "oh" meaningfully. The ministers present were also attracted by Deyin's jade and looked at the Eighth Prince.

Well, he sat down without blushing. She was still kneeling here. Why was it so exciting? At this moment, Deyin just wanted to leave here quickly. Fortunately, the matter stopped there. She returned to her seat without hesitation and ate the sweet-scented osmanthus fish strips.

After dinner, the most lively activity is lighting lanterns. People write their wishes and names on the lanterns and wait for the right person to pick them up. The girls in the palace are all waiting for this day to find a husband of their dreams.

"Miss, what did you write?" Luwu came close to me and blinked at me. I put the note into the lantern and let it go down the river without her seeing it. What is written in this lantern is my secret, and I must not let others know it easily.

Seeing her brother Li Liang standing alone on the riverbank, De Yin pulled up her skirt and walked over. "Li Liang, what do you mean by asking me to wear this jade?"

Li Liang, who was still drunk, patted De Yin on the shoulder and said, "My dear sister, you also saw what happened in the hall just now. Don't you understand the intention of the person who asked me to deliver the jade?"
