Shortly after noon, Anle, Su Ciyue and Xu Yanzhen came to Lu's residence without any prior arrangement.

Butler Lu Jie personally went out to welcome the three people in. Old Liu, who used to raise military horses in the stable, led the three carriages into the courtyard and began to brush the horses diligently.

Mrs. Lu chatted briefly with the three girls in the flower hall, showing her welcome to them, and then asked her personal maid Hongyu to take them to Chenxiang Courtyard.

"Have fun, and let me know if anything happens. Shuang'er will be so happy to have you around."

"Don't worry, Aunt Lu. We are here just to accompany Lu Xiaoer. We are sure to make her smile!"

Xu Yanzhen raised his head and chest, patting his chest so hard that it made a loud thumping sound. His flamboyant aura made Mrs. Lu smile from the bottom of her heart.

"The princess is so lively! Okay, I won't waste your time any more, go ahead."

Xu Yanzhen waved happily and walked around in circles.

Anle was covered in fur, even her hair accessories, and she jumped all the way like a little white rabbit.

Su Ciyue was the most reserved. She walked last and paid her respects to Mrs. Lu in a proper manner before leaving with light steps.

Madam Lu stood at the entrance of the flower hall, sighing, and then instructed Cuizhu:

"Ask the second shopkeepers of Linglong Clothing House, Lianxiang House, and Jinyu House to bring the most fashionable clothes, rouge, and jewelry in their shops to your house.

The little girl likes to dress up, so she invited Yunniang, who was the best at making tankou, and Luoniang, who was the best at applying makeup, to come.

After asking the Second Young Lady for her opinion, I will ask them to serve in Chenxiang Courtyard."

Cuizhu knelt down and saluted, "I will spare you the trouble."

"Okay, let's go."

Mrs. Lu took her personal maid and left through the back door in a carriage.

……

"Lu Mansion is so big. I noticed it last time. There is a scene every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps. It feels more beautiful than my princess's mansion."

Anle stretched out his arms and spun around in circles, his face full of excitement.

“Let me tell you, didn’t we find a lot of tunnels under my mansion before? The people sent by my father didn’t fill them up, so they left a small piece.

I'll have it modified, and it should be ready after the new year. Then I'll invite you to join me on the adventure, okay?"

"What's there to explore? I want to ask my father to go to the military camp to play after the New Year. I wonder if he agrees."

Xu Yanzhen sneered, with a look that said, "That's a child's game, I'm not going."

Su Ciyue followed the two of them silently, glancing at the surrounding scenery from time to time. What emerged in her mind was the lazy appearance of a sickly girl leaning on the railing listening to the wind, or a person cooking wine in a clay stove.

Lu Ningshuang is clearly not here, but her shadow is everywhere.

"This is not some childish game!"

Anle stood with her hands on her hips in anger, and the two symmetrical buns on her head looked like deer antlers ready to bump into people.

"I had people make it look scary, with fake headless corpses, long-tongued monsters, and a tiger with a bloody mouth. Awooo~

There was also a female ghost with hair down to the ground, blood all over her face, and eyes wide open after death!!!"

She pounced on Princess Pingxi, who reflexively elbowed her, and the little princess immediately covered her chin and cried.

"Sister Xu, you are so mean! I'm going to complain to Sister Shuang!"

After yelling, he turned around and grabbed the dazed Su Ciyue's clothes, shaking her continuously.

"Sister Su, look at her, she's really going too far!"

In the past, Xie Qingluan was the one who mediated any conflicts within the small group. She was gentle and elegant, generous in manners, and very tolerant, making her a true "elder sister."

Su Ciyue was very quiet most of the time and couldn't fit in. He only made his presence felt when Lu Ningshuang was around.

She was a little confused when she was suddenly asked to be the judge, but she quickly reacted. She gently wiped the little princess' chin with a handkerchief and said softly:

"It's all red. Go ask your sister Shuang for some ointment to rub it on."

After passing through a long flower corridor and arriving in front of a moon-shaped cave door, Hongxiu said respectfully:

"Princess, Princess, Second Miss Su, we have arrived at the Chenxiang Courtyard of our Second Miss."

She made a gesture of invitation, and the servant from Chenxiangyuan hurried in, and Baizhi came to greet her in person.

"I, Bai Zhi, greet Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Princess, and Miss Su Er. My young lady has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

Baizhi led the three people into the embroidery building.

Lu Ningshuang wore a sky-blue dress with a snow-white fox cloak on the outside, and her hands were tucked into rabbit-flannel muffs embroidered with three-color koi carps.

Following behind her was Fuling, who stood at the door in a charming manner. The red coral plum blossom hairpin on her head was the only bright color on her body, and it looked as if it was blooming in the snow.

Su Ciyue's footsteps suddenly became lighter.

Anle, like a little deer, rushed forward and bumped into Lu Ningshuang.

"Sister Shuang, I'm so happy. I finally see you!"

Her clear eyes blinked, and Lu Ningshuang wanted to laugh, but she could only turn her head away and cover her lips and start coughing.

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

"Sister Shuang, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Yanzhen grabbed Anle by the collar and dragged her away, "You hurt your weak and helpless sister Shuang. Lu Xiaoer, it's cold outside, come in quickly!"

"Ah? I'm sorry, Sister Shuang. I couldn't control myself for a moment."

Anle waved his hands ferociously, but was still dragged into the room by Xu Yanzhen.

Su Ciyue stepped forward, naturally put her arms around Lu Ningshuang's waist, and helped her walk inside.

"Ningshuang, let's go in first."

You can see many paintings by famous artists on the first floor. Under normal circumstances, everyone would try to show off their taste, but it would be too tiring for ladies to be so pretentious in private.

Xu Yanzhen set his eyes on the couch in front of the rosewood screen with cloud and dragon patterns and inlaid jade. He quickly kicked off his embroidered shoes and lay down on it without caring about his image.

"Comfortable, so comfortable! I was busy with socializing all day yesterday and this morning, and I'm exhausted!

Fortunately, I found an opportunity to come and play with you. If you continue to be hypocritical with those people, I am afraid I will bang my head against the door of my living room!"

Baoer, the maid, put her shoes in order and stood aside.

"Me too! I keep saying "this princess" all the time. I'm almost speechless. There are so many rules. And they also say that a princess should pay attention to her manners. Can manners be used to make a living?"

Anle then lay down, squinting his eyes and sighing, "It's really comfortable. I wish I could be like Sister Shuang."

Not long after Lu Ningshuang entered the room, the two rushed up and dragged her and Su Ciyue up. The four young ladies started fighting like crazy.

Lu Ningshuang has the habit of taking a nap at noon, but today she didn't sleep in order to wait for them. After playing for a while, she felt sleepy.

"A little tired."

Lu Ningshuang yawned, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.

Su Ciyue looked at her sideways, stretched out his thumb to wipe the corner of her eye, and suddenly suggested:

"How about we take a lunch break as well?"

Anle, who was fighting with Xu Yanzhen with a soft pillow, immediately threw the pillow over.

"I want to stay next to Sister Shuang! One, two, three, okay, I'm falling asleep. Don't talk to me unless it's important."

Anle placed his hands on his chest, looking very peaceful.

No matter how Xu Yanzhen teased her, she didn't react.

Lu Ningshuang picked up a handful of hair and slowly brushed it across her nose, doing this several times. Anle finally giggled.

"Sister Shuang, you are bad too!"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Lu Ningshuang asked, "Do you really want to take a nap? I'll ask Bai Zhi to make the bed."

Anle hugged her and giggled, "No, good sisters should lie together! We are sisters without any blood relationship!"
