As night fell, the backyard was silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the soft whispers of Wu Gege and Lianxiang.

After a while, Lianxiang walked into the house lightly, holding a wooden plate in her hand, on which were placed some simple-looking but fragrant foods.

"Princess, I have prepared some food for you. It is all ready-made in the kitchen. Although it is not rich, it should be enough to fill your stomach."

Lianxiang said as she carefully placed the wooden plate in front of Wu Gege, with a hint of apology and caution on her face.

"I was afraid of being discovered by others, so I only dared to go to those servants who were on good terms with me and took some at random. I hope the princess won't mind."

Wu Gege looked up at Lianxiang, her eyes full of tenderness and understanding. She smiled gently and spoke softly.

"Lianxiang, why do you blame yourself so much? I am already very grateful that you have always been considerate of me in this mansion. You have done a good job. We just need to try not to attract other people's attention. These foods look delicious, and I happen to be a little hungry."

As she spoke, Wu Gege picked up her chopsticks and began to savor the food Lianxiang prepared for her. She seemed to be so cherished and satisfied with every bite, as if she could taste the taste of home and Lianxiang's care from this simple food.

Soon, she finished eating the food, her face filled with a satisfied and happy smile.

"Lianxiang, your cooking skills are getting better and better. Although these foods are simple, they taste very good."

Wu Gege praised, her eyes sparkling with approval and love for Lianxiang.

Lianxiang smiled shyly and happily when she heard this. "Thank you for your compliment, Princess. As long as you like it, I will be satisfied." She responded softly.

After the meal, Wu Gege took a short rest under Lianxiang's care and adjusted her state. Then, she stood up, tidied her clothes and hair accessories, and prepared to go to the main courtyard to attend the banquet.

"Lianxiang, let's go. Remember to be careful along the way and don't attract unnecessary attention."

Wu Gege instructed, with a look of firmness and calmness in her eyes.

"Yes, princess. I will pay attention to it." Lianxiang responded quickly.

So, the master and the servant walked out of the house hand in hand and set out on the road to the main courtyard. In the night, their figures seemed particularly firm and elegant, as if no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, it would not stop them from moving forward.

……

The main courtyard was brightly lit, with a lively and orderly scene. Nanny Wang and Nanny Su were like two careful brocade craftsmen, weaving every detail just right to ensure that tonight's banquet would be presented perfectly.

Baizhu and Angelica dahurica were the decorators of this banquet. They used their skillful hands to decorate the banquet venue into a poetic and picturesque look. The placement of every bouquet of flowers and the lighting of every lamp revealed meticulousness and elegance.

Bai Zhu walked into the house quietly, afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

Yinzhen was sitting at the desk, writing with vigorous and powerful strokes, revealing his extraordinary calligraphy skills. Yiya stood quietly at one side, holding an ink cup, looking at Yinzhen tenderly, and occasionally adding a few drops of water to make the ink more rich.

The picture is warm and harmonious, as if time has slowed down at this moment.

Although Bai Zhu was reluctant to disturb her, she still walked gently to Yi Ya's side and spoke in a low voice as her duty required.

"Fujin, I have already decorated the banquet venue with Bai Zhi. Please go over and check if there is anything wrong."

Yi Ya heard this and tilted her head slightly, a hint of apology flashed in her eyes, but then she looked at Yin Zhen tenderly. Yin Zhen felt her gaze, raised his head and smiled, as if he could read every thought in her mind.

"You go ahead. Su Peisheng will be here to serve you. I'll need you to take care of the banquet."

His words were warm and firm, giving Yi Ya the greatest support and understanding.

Yiya nodded gratefully, smiled at Yinzhen, then turned to Baishu and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. Baishu, thank you for your hard work."

As she spoke, Yi Ya followed Bai Zhu out of the study room with her lotus steps. Yin Zhen then waved his hand, signaling Su Peisheng to take Yi Ya's place.

Su Peisheng understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward to take the ink cup and continued to grind ink for Yinzhen.

Led by Bai Zhu, Yi Ya came to the banquet hall. As soon as she entered the hall, she was shocked by the scene before her.

Flowers and colorful lights complement each other, and every detail reveals care and refinement. She checked the placement of tables and chairs, the arrangement of tableware, and the adjustment of lights one by one, and found that everything was perfect. She couldn't help but praise Baizhu and Baizhi for their carefulness and talent.

“That’s great, you guys did an amazing job.”

Yi Ya smiled and said to Bai Zhu, with satisfaction and relief in her eyes. Bai Zhu and Bai Zhi were overjoyed when they heard this, and they bowed and thanked Yi Ya for her affirmation and praise.

Afterwards, Yi Ya walked around the banquet hall again to make sure everything was ready. She knew that tonight's banquet was not only a display of the palace, but also an important test for her as the wife of the palace.
