His peaceful sister, An Jing, had been missing for half a year, but there had been no news of him even after he had searched the entire capital. The family was in despair. They had not left home for half a year. Tonight was still the first time he would be able to attend a banquet.

The little girl known as An Jing was not in the least emotional as she coldly watched Shen Qiu Bai put on an act.

"Ah, extremely hypocritical." She looked contemptuously at Prime Minister Shen and his daughter, as if she was looking at some trash that polluted one's eyes. The last person he saw on the day his elder sister disappeared was Shen Qiubai. Although his father had explained that his elder sister's disappearance had nothing to do with him, he still didn't know the role that this scheming woman played.

Shen Qiubai knew that when An Jing was kidnapped, she was there to resent him, so she touched her nose to urge her father on instead of asking for trouble.

Prime Minister Shen had an unpleasant expression on his face after being mocked by a little girl. However, it would be disgraceful to argue with a girl, so he just stuck it in his mouth like a fly.

"Father, let's leave quickly. There might be people out on the streets taking advantage of the situation. Besides, the empress has personally sent an invitation. If we were late, the empress would be angry."

Minister An was slightly stunned, he obviously did not expect that Shen Qiubai would give him face in front of so many people. He scratched his horse's mane awkwardly, "That's right, I was too concerned about my niece's illness to remember the empress's banquet." On the other hand, as an elder, I am too insensible, please forgive me. "

Prime Minister Shen had succeeded in turning the tables around, and his attitude wasn't as stiff as before.

"No, not at all. I have been living for a long time in Qiu Bai's house recently. How could he be so well-mannered by Minister An?" "My daughter is fine, please don't bother …"

Minister An knew that he couldn't care less about Shen Cheng and his daughter. He shook his head as he took a detour behind his father, Prime Minister Shen.

"Very well, if you can do so, the empress won't be able to do anything to you."

Prime Minister Shen was very satisfied with his daughter's reaction. Her neither arrogant nor impetuous attitude was worthy of him plotting.

Thinking about this, he asked again, "If you enter the palace, I wonder how many people you will have to be careful. "Don't overdo it." Just like Imperial Concubine Jin, only death awaits after glory.

Prime Minister Shen only had Shen Qiu Bai as his only daughter. Back then, Prime Minister Shen was depressed and had no ambition, thus he chose to seek the throne. As far as he was concerned, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not sacrifice Shen Qiubai. It could only be said that kinship and monstrous power were not worth mentioning.

The wheels continued to rotate, swaying leisurely to the entrance of the palace. After walking through an arch, Prime Minister Shen could no longer see him off.

"Prime Minister Shen, please hold your steps!"

A young eunuch hurriedly ran over with a flattering smile on his face. He hugged his horsetail whisk and hurriedly bowed to the two of them.

"It's a coincidence that Shen Xiang is here. This servant is on my way to the Residence of Prime Minister to invite Shen Xiang here."

"Yes." Prime Minister Shen replied to his enthusiasm in a neutral tone and looked at Shen Qiu Bai with concern.

How could Shen Qiubai not know what he meant?

Shen Qiu Bai had long since been reluctant to accompany Prime Minister Shen's father-daughter relationship. He nodded his head immediately.

"Since your Imperial Majesty has matters to discuss with father, then your daughter will be leaving first."

After which, he turned around and the gentle smile on Shen Qiu Bai's face remained by his lips.

Unfortunately, Father, I am destined to let you down.

I have had enough of living under the control of others!

After bidding his farewells to Prime Minister Shen, Shen Qiu Bai leisurely walked a few steps forward before being called out to, bringing with him the calmness and calmness of a young maid.

"Miss Shen?!"

Hm?

Shen Qiubai turned his head to see an unfamiliar girl. The girl had willow shaped eyebrows, an oval face and cherry pink lips. She was wearing an apricot jacket with a cloud pattern on it, fluttering gracefully in the wind. There was a lively and funny carp embroidered on the hem of her skirt, swaying between the green lotus leaves.

"Oh. We know each other? "

Shen Qiu Bai thought that she was a little girl from some family, so he asked her softly.

"Sister Qiu Bai doesn't remember me, but I've wanted to get to know you for a long time."

The girl held Shen Qiu Bai's hand happily as they walked in. As they walked, she complimented Shen Qiu Bai sincerely. "Sister is dazzling tonight."

Shen Qiubai had specially changed into Hu Jin's favorite jargon flower equipment. He wore a cyan colored flowery skirt with hundreds of blue pleats and a pair of jade-inlaid lotus embroidered shoes. As he walked, his lotus-shaped skirt rippled. Her features were gentle and graceful, but her eyes were captivating. She had chosen the bright yet not ostentatious coral redness that was the most popular color in the capital. Even women of the same gender would be happy to befriend him, let alone the self-styled romantic Ye Feihan.

"The girl is beautiful, too."

Shen Qiubai put on a gentle smile again. She was not used to sudden enthusiasm, but she could not get rid of the girl's arm.

Shen Qiubai frowned as he thought about how familiar this lady looked, but he could not figure out who she was.

"I am Lin Jingshan, the father of the daughter of the vice minister of the military, Lin An. I had the honor of meeting my sister at His Majesty's banquet."

The woman pulled Shen Qiubai's hand in a friendly manner and explained with a smile.

Was it just a single encounter? Lin Anzhi from Minister Lin's house...

Shen Qiubai thought about it for a while and had a slight impression that Vice Minister Lin and Minister Hu had been at loggerheads for a long time. Father once said that the Lin Clan seemed to be subordinate to the Queen Mother. Presumably, the empress had the intention to train a new person to enter the palace as a helper.

Slap did not hit the smiling person, Shen Qiubai also held Lin An's hand in a friendly manner.

"Miss." After finding out Lin An's identity, he called out to the maid who was with Lin An to follow behind him.

"I was sick today, so I didn't make it to the feast of the previous Empress. If I don't have my younger sister with me, the Empress will definitely punish me to go to this place. "

The Imperial Court was the place where the former emperors of the dynasty entertained their pleasure. After they ascended the throne, the late emperor felt that they were too extravagant, so he ordered a ban. Due to the deterrence of Ye Lianhe, Ye Feihan did not dare to open the ban. The empress couldn't wait to untie it, and the empress held a banquet in the midst of Shen Qiu Bai's' illness'. Shen Qiubai was unable to attend the meeting due to his illness.

Hearing this, Lin An slapped his chest and promised that he would bring Shen Qiu Bai to the banquet.

"However, before that, I need big sister to accompany me to a place."

"Naturally."

The two of them made an agreement to hold hands and walk together in the front.

Shuyi did not dare to slack off and followed closely behind her daughter. It was abnormal for Lin Anzhi to suddenly come out to greet her.

"Calligraphy Elder Sister …"

The young maid lightly tugged at the corner of her clothes as she timidly called out. Her calligraphy gave her a strange feeling that she didn't want to pay attention to this little girl.

Indeed, it was not the book's fault. This little girl was only 13 years old. Honestly speaking, at such a young age, she wouldn't be able to help out in such a situation.

What could Miss Lin do with her?

Seeing that she refused to acknowledge him, the young maid's eyes became so red that she was about to cry. If she did not leave with the intention of writing, she would not be able to complete the mission given by the young miss. Since she couldn't help the young mistress complete her mission, the empress knew she'd be beaten to death.

"Calligraphy Elder Sister …"
