Bai Mei stood up. "Then let's do it this way. Tomorrow morning I'll have Shi'er go to the palace with you."
After Bai Mei left.
"Madam Mei is too much of a bully. Why does she have to fight for everything?" Ping'er said indignantly.
"My dear Ping'er, what's wrong? Come on, have some Yunxiang cake, it tastes pretty good."
He ate the piece I offered him. "Miss, aren't you in a hurry?"
He stared at her blankly. "What's the rush?"
Ping'er became anxious, "Miss, think about it. Before, when you wanted to marry Second Master Lin, Second Miss tried to take it from you. Now that you want to enter the palace, she's trying to take it from you too. Isn't it obvious?"
I shook my head, still not quite understanding.
"She's afraid that you'll marry into the palace, and she's longing to go there herself."
I frowned and remained silent.
Ping'er, "Miss, are you feeling nervous now?"
Me: "Let's just eat and sleep."
Ping'er: "..."
"Fourth sister..."
As soon as I turned around, I saw Liu Mengshi in a pink dress.
"Second sister is here."
"Yes, let's hurry up and go."
We got into the car.
"Second sister, where is third brother?"
Liu Mengshi said, "Third Brother is a man after all, and it wouldn't be good if people told him not to go if we were in the same carriage. Wouldn't it be easier to talk to him if it were just the two of us sisters?"
Me: "Oh."
Liu Mengshi leaned closer to me. "Who did Fourth Sister see when she went to the palace last time?"
I thought for a moment, “There’s the Emperor, the Seventh Prince, the Fourth Prince, the First Prince, the Fifth Princess… and those…” I looked at her, “I forgot.”
Liu Mengshi smiled, "The Four Beauties have met quite a few people. By the way, how is the Emperor? Is he serious?"
"No," I shook my head, "he's a very approachable person."
"Really?" Liu Mengshi covered her mouth and smiled, then blinked, "Last time I heard my sister say that she longed to marry into the palace, was it because she had her eye on some prince?"
He shook his head.
"Ah?" Her expression changed in surprise. "Could it be... the Emperor..."
"Sister, it's best not to talk nonsense."
Liu Mengshi choked and fell silent.
The sedan chair stopped. It was time for him to alight.
"Little sister, please forget the nonsense I just said. I'm sorry, little sister."
I turned my head and said, "Second sister, I've already forgotten."
Liu Mengshi forced an unnatural smile, "It's good that you've forgotten, it's good that you've forgotten..."
"Follow me," said a palace maid in plain clothes.
When they arrived at the garden, Dugu Ye and a man walked towards them.
"Isn't this the fourth young lady of the Liu family?" Dugu Ye said with a smile.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Liu Mengshi took a step forward, her face beaming with a smile, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Who are you?" Dugu Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.
Liu Mengshi: "This humble woman is Liu Mengshi, the second young lady of the Liu family."
Dugu Ye nodded in realization, "Oh, you're the one who's going to marry into the Lin family."
Liu Mengshi's expression changed, and then she said, "No, we're just engaged."
Dugu Ye didn't care about that and turned his gaze aside. "Miss Liu, what brings you to the palace today?"
"My fourth sister and I are going to study under Princess Sissi," Liu Mengshi answered eagerly.
Dugu Ye: "Really? What a coincidence. I happen to be going to Qianxi's place today."
I walked silently to one side.
Every time Dugu Ye turned the conversation to Liu Feiyue, Liu Mengshi would interrupt him.
"Third Princess".
A woman dressed in pale yellow came out. "Why did you come along, brother?"
Dugu Ye smiled and said, "We just received some fruit from the palace, so we quickly brought it over for Sister Qianxi to try."
Xixi said, "Big brother really loves his sister." Then she turned to me and said, "Miss Liu is here too, so let's try some together."
After a while, he noticed the person next to him. "Who is this?"
Liu Mengshi's face looked terrible, but she tried her best to maintain a smile.
"Oh, it's the second young lady of the Liu family."
Xixi remained silent.
Xixi suddenly stared at me, "You and Miss Liu seem to get along quite well. How about I call you Sister Liu?"
I nodded.
Not long after learning the zither, Liu Mengshi started discussing it with Qianxi. I then escaped while I was using the restroom.
Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a small green figure.
I slowly walked over.
He squatted on the ground, head down, muttering to himself.
"Oh no, I can't go out, I can't see Sister Liu, she must have remembered me, what should I do, I really want to go out..."
I took another step closer stealthily, and whispered, "Little Purple."
"Huh? Is this an auditory hallucination?"
"Little Purple..."
Dugu Ziyi raised her head, looking surprised, "Sister Liu..."
"It's me."
A force rushed over and pounced on him.
"Sister Liu, I miss you so much..."
I looked down at him and said, "Xiao Zi, come down. You seem to have gained weight."
Dugu Ziyi pouted, looking aggrieved, and obediently got down.
"Sister Liu, what are you doing in the palace?"
Me: "Oh, the Emperor wants me to learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
Dugu Ziyi pouted, "That's so boring, let's go find Fourth Brother..."
That one is more boring, isn't it?
I followed Dugu Ziyi and noticed that he would become exceptionally excited whenever he talked about his fourth brother.
"This is it. At this time of day, Fourth Brother is usually here."
Before I even entered the door, I could hear the shouting.
"What are they doing?"
Dugu Ziyi: "Sister Liu will know once she goes inside."
Stepping through the gate, there is a large courtyard behind it that looks like a racetrack.
"Ah ah..."
Suddenly a loud roar erupted, like a thunderclap rising from the ground.
