"Princess Angu is here!"

A maid in charge said loudly.

All the women in the hall stood up and respectfully welcomed Princess Angu.

Su Qingwan saw several palace maids come out, and then Princess An Gu slowly walked out. She walked all the way to the main table and sat down.

"See Your Highness the Princess!"

Su Qingwan followed everyone in paying respects. She still remembered that the last time she saw the princess was at the Taolin Poetry Meeting.

"Everyone, get up! Today is a rare spring day, so I invite you to come and have some fun. Don't be shy."

Princess Angu smiled very kindly. As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of drums and harps rang out in the hall, and then a group of dancers walked in to the beat of drums.

This dance is very playful and cheerful, and looks quite beautiful.

Su Qingwan commented on it from time to time with Han Yue and Chen Yingying.

"I just heard from my eldest sister-in-law that Princess Angu has chosen the theme of 'Spring Banquet' and asked the young ladies of each mansion to express themselves freely, whether it is poetry, song, or drum music and dance."

Chen Yingying told Su Qingwan and Han Yue the news her sister-in-law had told her.

"Then we'll just watch and not participate," Su Qingwan said.

The other two said in unison: "I think so too."

The three of them immediately clinked glasses again to express their tacit understanding.

Su Qingwan originally thought that her drink would be drugged like what happened at the last birthday banquet for Prince Qi, but she found that there was nothing wrong with the drink.

Dong Qinshuang was sitting next to Princess An Gu, but she only had to turn her head slightly to see what was going on on Su Qingwan's side. Seeing that the three of them were chatting happily, she chuckled softly.

Speak! Smile! I am waiting for the moment when you fall into my hands.

"Although it's just a small game, Princess Angu also has rewards for everyone." The head maid said with a smile.

Everyone saw Princess Angu take out a gorgeous hairpin made of night-shining pearls from her hair and said with a smile, "Let's use this as a lucky charm!"

Then he handed it to the palace maid beside him.

Su Qingwan was not interested, but she glanced at the other ladies at the banquet. Many of them looked determined to get the hairpin. It seemed that they all wanted to get it!

The game started, and a woman came forward and made a painting of "Spring Banquet" on the spot, depicting various people who were enjoying the scenery in the garden today, which was quite interesting.

Then the next woman wrote a poem for the "Spring Banquet"; another woman performed a dance on the spot...

The young ladies from various mansions performed one after another. Su Qingwan saw that Dong Qinshuang was eager to say something several times, but she suppressed herself.

What is this for? Is it possible that you have become less courageous now?

Just as she finished the thought, she saw a guard from the princess's mansion rushing into the hall and kneeling down in front of Princess An Gu.

"Your Highness, it's bad, there's a commotion outside!"

"Tell me clearly, what happened outside?" Princess An Gu asked with a frown.

In the hall, the sounds of drums and harps stopped instantly, and the female members of the family looked at the guard nervously.

"Someone has entered the capital. They are numerous and have cooperated with the Imperial Guards. I'm afraid they have already entered the Imperial City."

These words were like a drop of water dropped into a frying pan, and it exploded instantly.

“Is this impossible?

"Are those people rebels? But how could there be rebels?"

"What should we do? If those people really enter the imperial city, wouldn't that be..."

"What should we do? Can we still go home?"

"Whether you guys come back or not, I'm leaving anyway!"

……

At once, all the female members of the family stood up, without even bothering to greet Princess Angu, and all ran out in a hurry.

"Everyone, stop for me!"

Princess Angu suddenly shouted.

She was worried that she had not delayed long enough, but she did not expect that they had already succeeded. After entering the imperial city, everything would go smoothly.

Many of the panicked female members did not hear what Princess Angu said, but continued to run outside.

However, the next moment, rows of soldiers holding shining long swords completely blocked the entrance to the hall.

The blade is cold and the light is chilly!

The many female relatives had never seen such a scene before, so they hurriedly stopped and dared not move forward.

"Your Highness, why are you stopping us?" a lady turned around and asked.

"Since you are here, make the best of it! There are swords and spears everywhere. It will be very unsafe for you to leave now, so just stay in my princess's mansion for a while."

Princess Angu's voice was dignified, lacking some of the kindness from before, and even her eyes turned cold.

Someone in the field immediately reacted and looked at Princess An Gu in disbelief. Could it be that those people who rushed into the imperial city from outside were related to the princess?

Han Yue was so nervous that her hands were covered in sweat. She thought of Prince An still in the palace, and immediately said, "Princess, I have to leave."

Princess Angu glanced at her and snorted coldly.

This is Prince An’s wife-to-be, Han Yue!

She is a very useful person, and she absolutely cannot leave.

"Ms. Han, it's dangerous outside. If you run out, you might end up with your head and body torn apart. It's better for you to stay here. At least you and your mother can save your lives."

Princess An Gu had just finished speaking when Dong Qinshuang echoed, "All of you should just stay in the princess's mansion obediently. If anyone disobeys, just lock them up!"

"How could this be?"

"Why do you lock us up?"

"We brought guards with us, so we won't necessarily run into danger even if we return to our own house!"

Several women started talking again. They were all worried about their families and didn't want to stay at all.

"Humph! Your guards?" Dong Qinshuang sneered twice, "Then you can try to find a guard."

After hearing this, everyone's mood sank even more. Now there was someone holding a knife blocking the door, and they couldn't get out, so how could they find the guards waiting for them outside?

Jiang also looked at Su Qingwan nervously and whispered, "Qingwan, what should we do?"

Before Su Qingwan could speak, Dong Qinshuang had already seen her. She suddenly pointed at Su Qingwan and said loudly, "Your Highness, you should lock Su Qingwan up alone to prevent her from escaping."

This time Su Qingwan is in her hands, and she wants to settle all the previous accounts with Su Qingwan at once.

Hehehe! It would be best if she suffered a lot, so that I could get rid of the hatred in my heart!

Chen Yingying didn't think twice and stood directly in front of Su Qingwan, and Han Yue also stood in step with her, both of them standing in front of her.

"Sister Qingwan hasn't said anything yet, how can you target her?"

"Miss Dong is not in a hurry to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Doesn't she worry about her elders?"

Han Yue and Chen Yingying's questions made Dong Qinshuang's face darken, but their actions made Su Qingwan feel warm.

"Don't worry, sisters. She can't hold me captive."

Su Qingwan showed a confident smile, which made Dong Qinshuang's anger rise steadily. She couldn't help but yelled, "Catch her for me!"
