Liu Yingxue only woke up on the second day and she only came over after a while. As usual, she asked, "How is it? Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable? "

But who knew that when Liu Yingxue saw her, her expression changed greatly as she said sarcastically, "You want to kill me, and then end things once and for all? And then, no one will stop you and Gu Junxiu anymore, right?"

Although her face was still pale, her speech was full of vigor. She didn't look like she had just recovered.

Ruan Xiaonuan also knew that what she did last night was wrong, so she only said indifferently, "I simply forgot."

"Do you think I would believe you? If it weren't for you, would I have met those people? And now you're trying to save me? Don't you find it laughable? " She had already determined that Ruan Xiaonuan had done it on purpose last night.

"The doctor said you can't have too much emotional turmoil, so you should put this matter down first. Besides, if I wanted to harm you, I could've just left you there in the river. Why would I have brought you back to the capital?" Ruan Xiaonuan explained in a slightly exhausted manner.

Although Liu Yingxue felt that his own cousin had changed a lot, if she let her hurt him, he couldn't really do it. It was just that she could not accept it. Regent, whom everyone had revered in the past, was now even able to bully a local tyrant and rogue.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Ruan Xiaonuan saw that she did not say anything else, and turned to leave.

In the Imperial Palace, all of the ministers were still in the Imperial Court. Today, they no longer had expressions of worry on their faces, but instead, a look of joy. This was the first time Gu Junxiu was going to court after he returned to the capital. The purplish-red imperial robe that he wore made him seem even more noble.

When Gu Qingcheng sat down, it was already filled with shouts and cheers. After he sat down, he said in a clear voice, ", please rise."

"Prince Yu and Flower love letter have played a great role in this flood in the river." As he spoke, he looked towards Gu Junxiu who was standing in front of him.

However, he was already above everyone else, so he did not reveal any hint of joy and his expression was still cold.

Hua Qingse was also a person with a calm personality, she was not interested in these things. They all indifferently responded to the gazes that the surrounding people shot at them.

Everyone thought that Gu Qingcheng would say something about giving rewards, but he only said lightly, "Tonight, the Imperial Palace will host a banquet to welcome the Prince Yu."

The ministers had already understood that this was to be announced at the banquet. Thus, they happily went back to prepare. After all, although the Imperial Palace's banquet was a banquet in name, one's every action and attire had to be in accordance with the rules. Thus, every time they went to a banquet, they had to be extremely cautious.

"Miss, it's time for us to return." Mo Yan reminded.

Because it was soon time for Gu Junxiu to return to the manor, and she had not told anyone when he came to the Wang Jiang Restaurant today. If he returned late, he would have to explain himself.

Ruan Xiaonuan sighed helplessly, and said to the ball, "We'll stop here for today. We can place this on the menu tomorrow."

Although she had already taught Uncle Yuan how to mix the chicken yesterday, there were still vegetables and other meat. Although they were similar, they were slightly different. Only someone like her who had eaten them could know this.

It wasn't too late yet, because Gu Junxiu had just gotten off his horse and jumped off. Seeing her alight from the carriage, he asked in surprise, "You went to the Wang Jiang Restaurant today?"

Ruan Xiaonuan nodded, and explained the reason for her visit. Gu Junxiu estimated the time and told her about the banquet in the palace. she asked, as usual. "You're not having dinner at the palace tonight?"

"Ruan Ruan, you have to go too." His words caused Ruan Xiaonuan to gape in shock, pointing at herself in disbelief, she asked, "I want to go as well?"

Ever since she moved to the palace, she had never been to a banquet in the palace. Because in the eyes of outsiders, she was still just a concubine of the Duke Palace. Although Gu Junxiu was not afraid of the eyes of others, but Ruan Xiaonuan did not like the rules of the palace. Therefore, she always refused, and this time was no exception.

"Ruan Ruan, even if you don't want to go this time, you must go. "Because you are also a meritorious general of the river." Gu Junxiu explained. Before he left the palace, Gu Qingcheng had specially come to find him and ask him to bring Ruan Xiaonuan to the palace as well.

"But the banquet is too boring." However, she was still a little reluctant.

"Maybe the Royal Brother will reward you with a lot of gold and silver." Gu Junxiu said deliberately.

As expected, when she heard the money, she immediately opened her eyes wide. In the end, the temptation of the silver was great, and she finally agreed.

"My lady, this is the first time you have attended a banquet in the palace in the sense of the word. What kind of bun do you want? " Mo Yan asked for her opinion.

At this time, Zi Juan had brought a few sets of clothes over, and placed them in front of her, asking, "Miss, which one do you think is better?"

Ruan Xiaonuan helplessly looked at their nervous expressions, and casually said, "Suit yourself, it's a bit simpler." She didn't want to be crushed by those headdress pieces.

Who knew that Mo Yan would insist, "Miss, how can you do as you please? This is your first time attending a banquet like this. If you are not careful, you will violate that taboo, so you must be careful. Furthermore, we must let everyone see that you, young lady, are no worse than any other person. "

With regards to appearances, Ruan Xiaonuan was still well aware of herself. She said helplessly, "Most people in the palace know me, so there's no need to go through all this trouble."

Unfortunately, this time, the two of them did not want to listen to her and did not ask for her opinion.

After a long time, he heard them say, "Lady, it's done."

Ruan Xiaonuan opened her eyes and looked at the person in the mirror. Although the bronze mirror was blurry, one could roughly see the entire face. She simply couldn't believe that she was the one in the mirror. After two months in the river, her face had become much thinner, and she actually looked like she had a bit of a face left in the water. Her bright and pure almond eyes seemed to be filled with a smile at any moment.

Mo Yan knew that she didn't like those expensive and gorgeous things, so he only had a few hairpins on his head to fix it. The lifelike butterfly seemed to be resting on her black hair.

The clothes that Zi Juan chose were actually a goose yellow. Usually, Ruan Xiaonuan never wore this color, because this color was very provocative. However, the color worn on her body was tailor-made for her. Her skin was white and her spirit was very strong. Although it was a dignified palace uniform, there was still a hint of liveliness added to it for no reason.
