Ever since the cold rain that night, the weather has become increasingly chilly in the past few days, and before we knew it, it was already the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

"Haha——" Xu An stretched lazily and got up from the bed. Today was the day for a banquet and it was not a good time to sleep in.

This might be the first time she got up so early, even Xiaoyu was not waiting at the door yet.

It’s my first time entering the palace, so I can’t lose face. Besides, Princess Li Yang is here too.

The grudges of the past will be avenged today.

What Xu An cared about was not that her first place was taken away, but that she almost harmed Yan Muyi. Who could have thought that a person with a face like a bodhisattva could be so cruel and have such strong ambitions.

As expected, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. She can take it for granted that interests are supreme. She is worthy of being a member of the royal family.

Xu An slowly put on rouge and tried on some jewelry.

"This gorgeous headdress feels so heavy, how much would it cost? I never thought I could become a rich man in this life!"

The thought of a large amount of money made her feel overjoyed. There were only three things in this world that could make her forget her worries.

The first thing is money, grab a handful.

The second thing is to eat a lot and die of bloating.

The third thing is the abdominal muscles, just touch them.

"I never thought that I would get what others have been pursuing all their lives in one day after traveling through time. Hehehe, I must take something with me in the future."

After getting ready for a while, a voice came from outside the door, "Miss! It's time to leave!"

Hearing the voice, Xu An put down the bronze mirror, adjusted his soft feather cloak, and followed the voice out, "Here I come!"

Madam Xia and everyone else were distributing carriages at the door, and Ze'an's eyes were fixed on the place where someone must pass.

As the crowd dwindled, Xu An also stepped out, "An An! Mother and your father are waiting for you at the gate of the imperial wall." Seeing Xu An's energetic look, Mrs. Xia smiled.

"Okay, Mom, Dad, you go first, I'll be there soon."

Mrs. Xia nodded slightly, flicked her sleeves and jumped onto the horse, looking heroic and dashing. The horses neighed softly, and the following carriage team also surged, which made Xu An's eyes light up.

Is this the demeanor of a female general? Madam Xia is so handsome! The female marquis is really different.

As he was sighing, Ze'an pulled the reins and placed the carriage in front of Xu'an, and stretched out his hand to her, "Xu'an, it's time to set off."

"Okay, my driver~"

"Want to ride a horse with me?" Ze'an's words had a deeper meaning. He didn't just want to ride a horse together.

"No, I get dirty easily."

"Well, good, you look really good today."

The shy words made Xu An couldn't help but smile, "I look good today?"

"No, you know that's not what I meant."

The two of them were joking around, and the group was also talking and laughing non-stop, following the long queue of the team. As they approached the imperial wall, more and more carriages gathered together. Xu An lifted the curtain and looked at the carriages around him. Some were decorated with gorgeous patterns, while others were simple and plain.

"Madam Xiahou! You're still as smart as ever!" A deep male voice sounded, and the surroundings gradually became noisy.

"Madam Xiahou, you are indeed the first female marquis. You have a large family."

Hiss, this doesn't sound right.

"Xu An, we're here." Ze An stood in front of the shaft and lifted the curtain.

"Ze'an, who is that old man?" Xu An glanced at the uncle with a triumphant look.

Ze'an reached out and stroked Xu'an, then looked back and fixed his gaze on the face of the woman in front of him, "It's the Minister of Rites, Wang Huancheng."

"Oh~"

This Minister of Rites speaks in a strange way.

Madam Xia waved to Xu An, motioning her to come over, "An An~"

Xu An had a faint smile on her face, and she slowly approached, twirling the side of her skirt. "Sir Shangshu," she bowed slightly, "Mom, where's Dad?"

"Your father went in first. I think he went to look for some wine."

Wang Huancheng scratched his beard and said loudly, "Hey? This is Miss Xu, right? I heard that the boy from the Yan family came to propose marriage and made a lot of noise, just to marry Miss Xu. Now that I see you, your temperament is indeed different from what was rumored."

Xu An was about to answer when Wang Huancheng continued, "When are you getting married? I heard that Miss Xu is going to marry like Madam Xiahou?"

This person is so gossipy, asking questions all the time, just like a series of farts.

"Minister Wang, if my An An can accept my wish, that would be a good thing. Do you think that's right?"

Madam Xia's tone was obviously a little cold, which made Wang Huancheng calm down. "Yes, yes, Madam Xiahou has a successor."

It's funny that Minister Wang was frightened by just one sentence from Madam Xia.

The group gradually walked towards the palace and soon stood outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Many young ladies came in together. As expected, their purpose was to marry a foreign prince.

Exquisite pearl hairpins, gem-studded necklaces, gold-threaded hair accessories, etc. The various status symbols and decorations are very dazzling.

Xu An stared with his eyes wide open, not for anything else but for the pure gold hair accessories. If he sold it, he would be able to make a fortune of billions!

Seeing Xu An staring blankly at the ornaments on the ladies' heads, Ze An whispered, "Don't envy them. I will definitely find better ones for you."

Xu An was concentrating on estimating how much the gold jewelry would be worth and didn't hear what Ze An said at all.

"An An, come here."

Mrs. Xia called Xu An softly, which brought her back from her daydream.

"Uh-huh."

As the lady sat down, Xu An began to look around the magnificent hall.

At first glance, the architecture of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is comparable to the residence of immortals. The towering dome is lit with a few candles, and the walls are covered with innumerable gold thread carvings, which is truly magnificent.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at the food, it’s as exquisite as a sculpture.

Xu An was looking forward to it, but the emperor had not spoken yet, so who dared to move?

"I am very pleased that you, the nobles, can bring your families to the palace to attend the banquet despite your busy schedule. Now, let's start the banquet. Don't be restrained."

As the words fell, the dancers slowly entered the hall holding musical instruments such as pipa, and the cold hall was in an uproar.

Now Xu An finally dared to eat it, and tasted this and that, everything.

The young man in white sitting diagonally opposite had been staring at Xu An for a long time, and she was the only one left in his eyes.

The ones who were closest to the emperor were the royal wives, concubines and descendants. The half-covered man sitting on the emperor's left kept his eyes on Xu An for a long time. Seeing her eating and drinking, the man couldn't help but smile.

Xu An seemed to have tasted the most exquisite delicacy in the world. He turned his head and praised Ze An, "This, this is simply a fairy product!"

Ze'an raised his hand to wipe the remaining food from the corner of her mouth, "Eat slowly, I have more."

Several people in the hall saw this scene and frowned slightly.

Xu An's seat was some distance away from the midfield, but the people sitting near the front still stared at her every move through the crowd.

There was a blond, blue-eyed beauty standing side by side with Xu An. He only had to turn his head slightly to catch her eye.

While drinking with the people around him, he turned his head to glance at someone who was only concerned with eating.

I don't know when, the three people's eyes gathered together, knowing each other's thoughts. The blond handsome man raised his glass and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Xu An, I want you to submit to me today.
