C10

Lu Jinnian didn't dare to have the guts to call Xiao Su directly by her name.

With a 101 smile on her face, Lu Jinnian walked into the room and cupped her hands. "Greetings, Master Prince Huai."

Seeing them greeting each other so familiarly, Xiao Ranxi could no longer remain calm. "Cousin, you and Miss Lu know each other."

Xiao Su lowered his eyelids, "The day before yesterday, Brother Kong Lian invited me to drink. It was Miss Lu who helped me block it."

Lu Jinnian smiled. "The Prince didn't hold back and allowed my daughter to get three jars of Ice and Snow Wine for free."

"Ice and Snow Brew! Those silkpants know that your body isn't healthy, but they still want you to drink that wine!" I'll report it to Royal Father when I get back! "

Xiao Ranxi raised her eyebrows and was about to stand up in anger, but Xiao Su stopped her. "Ranxi, I'm fine."

"Cousin, you are too good-natured."

Lu Jinnian tilted her head and looked at Xiao Ranxi, who had an expression of disappointment on her face. She already knew this lady's identity, the current emperor had seven sons and one daughter, and this was Princess Cheng Jia of the imperial court.

Lu Jinnian's smile deepened as she said, "Your highness and princess are really on good terms, so I won't disturb you any longer."

"Wait!" Xiao Ranxi's eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten what she was doing? She looked Lu Jinnian up and down.

"You are the woman that scared my brother Seventh Brother to tears? "But you're very good-looking, Seventh Brother definitely isn't crying because of your face. You secretly told me the truth of Seventh Brother's crying, and seeing that you helped my cousin block the alcohol, this princess will not care about Seventh Brother anymore."

"My daughter doesn't dare."

Xiao Ranxi frowned. "You're not going to say?"

"My daughter doesn't dare to accept Princess's praise," Lu Jinnian said with a gentle and elegant smile. "In front of the beautiful Princess, she just nodded and admitted that she was pretty. She had truly let down her conscience."

Xiao Ranxi was stupefied for a moment. She felt her heart thump in her chest as her face couldn't help but turn red.

Lu Jinnian continued before Xiao Ranxi could react, "In front of the beautiful princess, my daughter should have told everything she knows. However, as it concerns Seventh Prince's secret, my daughter promised Seventh Prince that she would keep it a secret, so I can only apologize to the princess."

"She would rather be rumored to be the ugliest girl than to say anything?"

"This is an agreement between my daughter and His Highness Seventh Prince."

"Alright then."

Seeing that Lu Jinnian's tone was sincere, Xiao Ranxi could only sigh. If it was an ordinary person, she definitely would not give up and refuse to speak.

As a princess of the imperial family, she had many methods to make you speak. However, Lu Jinnian's sincere tone and attitude, as well as her silent praise, made Xiao Ranxi feel a little lost in thought.

As the emperor's only daughter, Xiao Ranxi was doted upon by thousands, but how could she, who was in the palace, not understand the difference between flattering and true love?

The people in the palace knew whose secret it was, and wished that it could be spread out before the next day. People in the palace knew whose secret it was, and wished that it could be spread out before the next day.

If Lu Jinnian knew what Xiao Ranxi was thinking, she would definitely retort. Girl, you're thinking too much. If she didn't ignore it, it's impossible for the rumors to spread for four years. She and Seventh Prince are just taking what each needs.

"Since that's the case, my daughter will not delay the exchange of feelings between the prince and the princess. Yesterday, I heard from the shopkeeper that there was a new twist to Embroidery Workshop, and I was wondering how the progress would be. My daughter is really looking forward to it."

Xiao Ranxi asked curiously, "It's a new trick. Why didn't the shopkeeper mention it earlier? What did it look like?"

Lu Jinnian touched her chin and said, "The shopkeeper said it was a very rare flower. It's called the cornflower or something. It looks very new and pretty."

Xiao Ranxi immediately patted the chair's handle and said loudly, "Shopkeeper, come quickly. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wen Qiu quickly walked over, grumbling to herself. How would she know anything about the new style of cornflowers?

"Because this is a new design that I received a few days ago, there are a lot of things to make clothes for, so I put it on hold. I didn't think that Miss would remember to mention it, since the ladies are all looking forward to it, I'll hurry up and make it as soon as possible."

Xiao Ranxi was very satisfied, "Is the new pattern unique?" I want to reserve the first new fabric and make it into clothes. When I go to the palace banquet, I will definitely be the focus of attention! "

Glimmers danced in Lu Jinnian's eyes as she shook her head at Wen Qiu.

From the very first emperor of the nation of Mingxuan until now, he had always held palace banquets at the beginning of March every year, and was in the habit of inviting princes, ministers, and their families to gather at the palace.

This time, the Huns had sent an emissary at this time, and also reported the purpose of the marriage alliance. In order to let the princess appear on the scene, it was highly likely that they would gather at the palace for the banquet.

She only wanted to use Xiao Ranxi's mouth to spread the news about the cornflowers among the princes and officials' families in order to attract Hun Princess's attention.

He didn't want Xiao Ranxi to appear in the palace banquet wearing a set of cornflower outfits. He wanted Huns to think that our princess was purposely trying to curry favor with them and wanted them to exchange face and courage with her.

"Princess' temperament is out of this world, so she is naturally the center of attention for the palace feast. What need is there to add to the glory with new tricks?"

Lu Jinnian pretended to be shocked. "Moreover, there must be many aristocratic families in the late winter and early spring. Since it's already the 18th of February, it's already hard enough to make new clothes in front of the palace feast. If we make new clothes, I'm afraid …"

Xiao Ranxi curled her lips, "What kind of focus is this? Jin, you're not even going to the palace banquet, so you don't know."

"In the recent years, if it's not the number one genius Yi Nanzhi, then it's Liangjing's Qin Jue, Lu Qingwan, and Liangjing's Su Peihuan. Last year, it was Lu Qingwan who did it, and she only knew how to play the zither.

Lu Jinnian, "…" Can you treat it as the jealousy of a child? So cute...

"Hmph, forget about the new clothes. I'll go back and fix Seventh Brother. Cousin, I'm going back to the palace. It's been a long time since you last visited the palace. Do you want to go with me?"

Xiao Su glanced at Lu Jinnian inquiringly, then turned to Xiao Ranxi and waved his hand at her, "No, I will enter the palace another day. It seems that the weather is about to rain, so I'll head straight home."

Xiao Ranxi shrugged her shoulders in disappointment but didn't insist. Instead, she gripped Lu Jinnian's hand and said, "Jin, you will be participating in this year's palace banquet, right?"

"This …" Black lines appeared on Lu Jinnian's forehead. Princess, is it really good to be so familiar with each other?

He only pursed his lips and coughed lightly as he looked at Xiao Ranxi's bright eyes, "In the past, you have always been a conceited and vulgar person, but now that you've chosen me, I'm sure you won't be disrespectful."

"Then it will come. I'll wait for you then."

Xiao Ranxi cheered as she ran out of Embroidery Workshop. The attendant that was commanding the Embroidery Workshop placed the clothes she bought on the carriage before sitting in the carriage to head towards the imperial palace.
