Time flies and it’s the Lantern Festival. Jinyang City is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights everywhere, and people go out in groups to have fun. It’s so lively.

Cui Hengyue raised the curtain and looked at the bustling scene outside with longing. If there were no such bad things, how happy it would be to be an ordinary citizen.

Cui Erniang saw this and said: "The lanterns in the palace are more beautiful."

In a golden cage, no matter how beautiful things are, they have no soul.

Cui Hengyue smiled at her and asked cooperatively about the lanterns in the palace: "Really? What kind of lanterns were there in previous years?"

Cui Erniang suddenly became interested, straightened her body, and described the beautiful lamps in the palace: "I remember one year, the Ministry of Industry donated a lamp called the Phoenix lamp, which was more than ten feet wide...

..."

Seeing the two sisters talking happily, Mrs. Cui showed a kind smile.

We entered the palace smoothly and met the Queen Mother first. Probably because there were so many people present, the Queen Mother was pleasant to Cui Hengyue and did not make things difficult for her.

After that, the Queen Mother left Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui behind. Mrs. Cui spoke and sent the junior out.

"Sister, let's go for a walk in the garden? I heard that my aunt has a plum garden here, which is in full bloom now." Cui Erniang took Cui Hengyue's hand and walked out excitedly.

Cui Sanniang stood still and said: "Eldest sister, second sister, you go, I won't go."

"what ever."

Cui Hengyue and Cui Erniang left. Cui Siniang looked at this and that, not knowing where to go.

Seeing her like this, Cui Sanniang couldn't help but sneer: "Why, your mother is not here, so you are helpless? The palace is not a place for leisure. Even if you climb the big tree like Uncle San, you can't get in."

Linglan followed suit: "Even if they can come in, these ladies from famous families will not look down on those with evil intentions."

"You..." Cui Siniang was ashamed and angry, her face flushed, but she couldn't say a word to refute.

That's right, although her grandmother loved her and the Queen Mother also looked at her differently, her mother was still not allowed to enter the palace just because her mother's status was low.

She and Cui Hengyue were the only girls in the third room who entered the palace. The sisters were like-minded and should have advanced and retreated together, but Cui Hengyue didn't look down on her at all. He often went out with the second mother, causing her to face such scenes alone.

.

Cui Siniang slowly clenched her fists and looked at them with gritted teeth.

Fanhua couldn't stand it and tried to persuade her: "Sanniang, you and Siniang are both descendants of the Cui family. You should help each other when you go out.

"There are many talkative people in the palace. If your behavior is seen by someone with an intention and spreads to the ears of the Duke, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Cui Sanniang's expression suddenly changed. Thinking of her grandfather's temper and that she was her grandmother, she didn't dare to be tough. She snorted coldly and left.

She happened to run into Chen Linyu, his wife, and Chen Linshen. She immediately smiled and greeted them: "First cousin, first cousin, and second cousin, you are here."

"Cousin." Princess Rui held her hand affectionately and asked how she was doing.

Chen Linshen looked around and asked, "Why are there just you two? Where are the other cousins ​​in the house?"

Cui Siniang's eyes moved, she straightened her clothes, and walked over gracefully: "Second cousin, eldest sister and second sister went to the garden."

"What cousin?"

Cui Sanniang rushed over, glaring angrily: "This is my cousin, what are you calling me? Don't think that just because you are the third uncle's daughter, you can climb up to the Regent's Palace."

"I..." Cui Siniang bit her lower lip, tears glistening in her eyes, looking aggrieved.

Chen Linyu couldn't help scolding Cui Sanniang: "Cousin, she is your sister, so you must not be rude."

"Humph!" Cui Sanniang was unconvinced, but did not refute, turning her face to the other side.

Princess Rui came over to coax her: "We are going in to see the Queen Mother, will you go in with me?"

Cui Sanniang suddenly became happy, holding the hand of Princess Rui and walking in: "Okay."

The two brothers Chen Linyu also entered the palace, leaving only Cui Siniang and a group of servants outside. Cui Siniang felt even more embarrassed.

Fanhua couldn't bear it and suggested: "Six Niang, let's go for a walk in the garden too? Maybe we can meet other young ladies."

Yes, she doesn't just know them here, she also has close friends.

Cui Siniang felt relaxed and naturally smiled on her face: "Let's go."

Unknowingly, Cui Siniang's master and servant walked to the lake, and there were young men and young ladies from other houses beside the lake.

Seeing a man looking over, Fanhua said to Cui Siniang: "Siniang, it's very cold by the lake, let's go."

Cui Siniang was unhappy: "I just came here and haven't seen the scenery yet."

The flowers dare not say anything anymore.

After standing by the lake for a while, Cui Siniang looked around and saw a familiar figure. She pointed at the figure and said to Fanhua, "Look, is that the eldest sister?"

Fan Hua took a closer look and saw that the young lady talking to the man under the tree was Yuan Niang from the mansion. Her expression changed slightly: "Yes."

After receiving the affirmative answer, Cui Siniang was a little excited: "Seeing that she was chatting happily with that man, she must have some friendship. She was so indiscreet outside the house. I want to tell my grandmother."

Just as he was talking, Cui Siniang chased after Cui Hengyue and the man without thinking.

"Fourth Mother——"

In desperation, Fanhua also chased after him.

"They are secretive in their behavior. They must be doing something bad. I want to go take a look." Cui Siniang said.

Fanhua was curious and did not persuade her.

The two followed Cui Hengyue all the way to a certain palace. When they saw Cui Hengyue entering the palace with the man, Cui Siniang was extremely excited and hurriedly said to Fanhua:

"They must be doing something evil. I'm here to guard them. You go and call grandma."

Fan Hua looked embarrassed: "Six Niang, there are many people in the palace, isn't it appropriate to do this?"

Cui Siniang shouted: "What are you afraid of? The Queen Mother is my aunt and Your Majesty is my cousin. Who dares to gossip? I just want them to see clearly what kind of person the eldest sister is."

"This..." Fanhua still felt something was wrong.

Cui Siniang made a pretty face: "What? I can't control you anymore?"

If she had known earlier, she would have brought that maid Jinglan here.

Seeing that Cui Siniang was really angry, Fanhua agreed repeatedly and went to find Mrs. Cui.

Behind the palace door, Wu Yu glanced through the crack in the door and asked Cui Hengyue: "What are you going to do?"

Cui Hengyue's lips curled up slightly and she said softly: "With my fourth sister here, I am sure it will attract a lot of people, and maybe even the Queen Mother will be attracted.

"Since they are all here, I can't live up to my fourth sister's kindness and make good use of this time."

After saying that, he said "Prince Wu, you can do it yourself" and ran towards the depths of the palace.

Wu Yu thought for a while and chased after him.

Fanhua went straight to the Queen Mother's palace. After seeing Mrs. Cui, she whispered a few words in her ear.

A glimmer of light flashed quickly in Mrs. Cui's eyes, her face remained calm, and she ordered: "Go back first."
