In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of Princess Zhaohua’s birthday banquet.

Prime Minister's Residence, Fuxi Hall.

Su Huan had just finished dinner in her own courtyard when she was called here by her grandmother's people.

At this time, her grandmother and father sat in the main seat in the middle, while Zhu and Su Xuan sat beside them.

She walked forward, bowed briefly to her grandmother and father as usual, and asked, "I wonder why grandma called me here at this hour?"

Madam Su looked at Su Huan and said, "Tomorrow is the birthday banquet for Grand Princess Zhaohua. This kind of birthday banquet is indeed extraordinary. Huan'er, this is your first time to attend one. I asked you to come here just to ask you how your preparations are going."

Su Huan: "Don't worry, Grandma. As long as no one deliberately causes trouble, everything will be fine."

Madam Su chuckled and said, "You kid, who dares to act rashly at the Grand Princess' birthday banquet?"

Su Bingyan: "The Grand Princess is the Emperor's biological aunt. The Emperor attends the Grand Princess' birthday banquet every year. The guests who receive the Grand Princess' birthday banquet are at least from the third rank or above. Your grandmother is also concerned that you are not used to it since it is your first time attending a banquet."

Su Huan put on a fake smile and said, "Thank you, grandma."

Zhu was standing by and said slowly, "Old Madam, Prime Minister, I will take good care of my eldest sister tomorrow."

Madam Su nodded in satisfaction, "That's great."

Su Xuan looked at Su Huan and put on a proud and complacent attitude, "Tomorrow when we go to the banquet, elder sister, watch more and talk less. Don't break the rules. It will be bad if others laugh at our Prime Minister's Mansion."

Su Huan sneered, "I haven't even gone to the banquet yet, and you've already thought that I'll make a fool of myself. Why is it that you're so eager for me to make a fool of myself?"

Su Xuan bit her lip, her tone a little more angry, "You... I was reminding my elder sister, but my elder sister wanted to distort my meaning, which is too mean."

Su Huan didn't bother to pay attention and said directly: "Grandma, Father, we need to get up early tomorrow. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Su Bingyan glanced at Su Huan and said, "Okay, you can go now."

Madam Su looked at Su Huan's departing back and said to Zhu Shi very seriously, "You are the mistress of the Xiangfu. This is Huan'er's first time attending such a banquet. You must take better care of her."

Zhu: "Yes, I understand." She certainly knew more clearly the other meaning of the old lady's words. She would take good care of Su Huan!

Madam Su: "You will all go out of town for a banquet tomorrow, so go and rest early."

As they were talking, Su Bingyan, Zhu and Su Xuan all stood up and left.

Walk out of Fuxitang.

Su Xuan said with a smile: "Father, mother, it would be great if my elder brother and second brother could be present at the birthday banquet of Princess Zhaohua tomorrow. With their talents, if they were praised by Princess Zhaohua in front of the emperor at the banquet, their future careers would be much smoother."

Zhu: "Xuan'er, your elder brother and second brother are now in the Imperial Star Academy in the capital. The Imperial Star Academy has strict admissions and the rules are even stricter. After enrollment, you are not allowed to leave the academy without reason for three years."

"Your second brother has just been enrolled for a year, and your eldest brother will finish his three-year semester at the end of June. He will then be able to return home and prepare to take part in this year's autumn exam. As long as he gets a good rank in the autumn exam and your father is around, he won't have to worry about not having a good opportunity."

Su Xuan took advantage of the situation and moved closer to her father, saying with a coquettish smile, "Mom is right. With dad here, and my eldest and second brothers being capable, they will definitely not let dad down."

Su Bingyan looked at his daughter who was acting like a spoiled child beside him, smiled softly, raised his hand and touched her head, "My daughter Xuan'er is also very good, and she makes me proud."

Su Xuan: "Thank you for the compliment, father. Mother said that father is the prime minister of the dynasty, the head of all officials. As his daughter, I represent his reputation when I am outside. Xuan'er dare not slack off in the slightest."

Su Bingyan: "Okay." He then set his eyes on Zhu, "Tomorrow we will go out of the city together to attend the birthday banquet of Grand Princess Zhaohua. I will stay in Madam's courtyard tonight."

He calmly instructed the attendant beside him, "Go to Huawuxuan and tell Aunt Liu that she doesn't have to wait any longer and should go to bed early. I'll go see her tomorrow night."

Seeing this, Su Xuan said happily, "Father, mother, I will go back to my own courtyard to rest first."

Su Bingyan: "Go ahead."

After Su Xuan left, Zhu said to Su Bingyan: "Prime Minister, tonight I have not..."

Su Bingyan did not wait for Zhu to finish her words. He took Zhu's hand and walked towards Jinhuaxuan. He smiled and said, "There is no need to be so particular between you and me."

Zhu nodded, and Lord Ren led her back to the courtyard to rest...

……

The next day, early in the morning.

In the Lanyue Pavilion.

Su Huan got up early and was helped by Yun Shuang. She washed, dressed, and changed her clothes. After finishing everything, she went to have breakfast.

While serving the meal, Yunshuang told the young lady what happened last night.

Su Huan was not too surprised, because Su Bingyan was not yet tired of Zhu.

When it was almost time, the maid outside came over and told the young lady to leave the house immediately after she was ready.

Prime Minister’s Mansion, at the main gate.

Su Huan had just arrived and had not yet stepped out of the front door when she saw Su Bingyan coming over with Zhu and Su Xuan.

After all, it was to attend the birthday party of Princess Zhaohua.

Although Su Bingyan was wearing casual clothes, he looked very formal and dignified. Zhu also wore the makeup that was appropriate for the wife of the Prime Minister to show her importance to the birthday banquet of Princess Zhaohua.

Su Xuan, who was following Zhu, was wearing a blue emerald-colored wide-sleeved gown with a water-wave pattern. Her black hair was tied into a simple bun, and she had a hollow gold hairpin with purple jade tassels hanging from it. She was as delicate as a jade, and her smile was more beautiful than a flower.

Even for Su Huan, a beauty like Su Xuan was not good enough in the eyes of someone like her who was used to seeing beautiful women, but it had to be said that Su Xuan was indeed very good at dressing herself up.

Regardless of other things, just talking about her appearance, it is well-deserved to say that Su Xuan is the most beautiful woman in the capital.

While Su Huan was looking at Su Xuan, Su Xuan was also looking at Su Huan.

Su Xuan didn't take Su Huan, who had never attended any banquets or parties, seriously at all. She thought that it was just some luxurious fabrics given by her father, so what else could she wear?

When she saw Su Huan in moon-white clothes from afar just now, her thoughts were confirmed.

However, after Su Xuan got closer, she found that Su Huan's outfit was not as inconspicuous as she thought.

The moon white color seems elegant and simple, but when the sunlight falls and is reflected on the clothes, it looks like the soft moonlight.

Under the fabric, dark patterns flowed, as if blue lotuses were blooming, and matched with the jade lotus hairpin in her hair, they complemented each other perfectly.

Make the person in front of you appear more detached and elegant.

Seeing Su Huan's outfit overshadowed the careful effort she put into dressing up, and she wanted to turn back and tear the clothes into pieces.

No! Su Huan wanted to suppress her, she was dreaming!

What's more, after today, Su Huan will no longer exist, who can compete with her!
