Nangong Waner passed his days leisurely, and one morning, Madam Yang came to find Nangong Waner happily with an invitation. It was from the Lord Assistant Minister s of the Department of Public Relations that they planned to hold a midsummer feast in two days, and was invited to attend it.

Madam Yang made it clear that this was a banquet that your father and the Lord Assistant Minister were discussing about to let you get your reputation straight. Your father would symbolically ask some of the noble ladies of the Shangjing to go and relax your body and mind.

Originally, Nangong Waner had wanted to go because of the name Midsummer's banquet, but he didn't want to. Hearing Madam Yang's two high expectations for her, Nangong Waner's desire to win was immediately aroused, and he immediately grabbed Madam Yang's hand and said sincerely, "I guarantee that I will complete the mission!"

Assistant Minister’s Residence's Midsummer Meet was originally a small scale gathering, so he gave out some invitation cards as a token. As Prince Zhan was also considered as the Minister of Government, he sent out invitations as a courtesy as his superior.

He did not expect that the butler of the Prince Zhan's Mansion would pick up the call, and even said that the Prince Zhan would be there on time.

Following that, the news of Prince Zhan receiving the invitation card spread like wildfire. Some of the more reputable people in Shangjing city came over to ask for the invitation card, giving Assistant Minister a headache. However, all of these things, Nangong Waner naturally had no way of knowing.

This day, Nangong Waner really brought out the spirit of how he did during his high school exam. In the middle of the night, he woke up to take a bath, apply a face mask, and then carefully put on makeup. He put on a full two hours' worth of makeup on the table before the mirror, causing Ju Xiang to exclaim repeatedly about how special the young miss's makeup technique was, and how no one could compare to the way the makeup on her face.

After Nangong Waner finished drawing, he was very pleased with himself when he looked in the mirror. This makeup technique had undergone thousands of years of improvements, so naturally, it was not something that the ancients could compare to.

In order to put on his clothes and look good, Nangong Waner had already stopped eating last night. At this time, he was standing at the entrance waiting for the Palace's carriage, feeling a little hungry. Nangong Waner, who was waiting in front of the Zhongshu Officer Palace, watched from afar as an extremely gorgeous horse carriage drove towards him. Forget about the exquisite materials of the horse carriage, it was extremely luxurious, even the horses running in front looked pretty, with beautiful muscles and shiny fur, it looked like it was a blazing cloud.

Nangong Waner thought that the carriage that was running over was from the Zhongshu Officer Palace, so he looked at Nan Gong Yi who was beside him meaningfully.

As the carriage drew closer, Nangong Waner looked with rapt attention, and saw that it was Prince Zhan's Mansion's Zi Ye driving the carriage. Zi Ye said lightly to Zhongshu Officer, "Is Zhongshu Officer's family going to attend Assistant Minister’s Residence's banquet?"

Nangong Yi respectfully replied.

"My master wants to go to Assistant Minister’s Residence for a feast. If Zhongshu Officer doesn't mind the crowded carriages, I'm afraid my master will have to accompany him there."

Nangong Yi originally wanted to refuse, but the carriage in the Zhongshu Officer Mansion was indeed broken and small. These three people and the two maids were truly a bit forced. "Then I'll thank you, Prince Zhan," he gratefully promised.

Nangong Waner was trying to help Nangong Waner get her to the carriage, but it was unknown whether it was because she was too sleepy, too hungry, or because she had been standing there for too long, she felt a little dizzy. Her head was swaying as she was about to smash it. Just then, the Prince Zhan opened the door and jumped down from the horse carriage. He took Ju Xiang's arm and helped him up the horse carriage.

Zi Ye was speechless. Such a one-second break! His master was not being reserved at all.

The Zhongshu Officer couple couldn't help but suspect that they were seeing things. It was as if they had seen the Prince Zhan come down but also not seen anything.

Inside the carriage, Nangong Waner looked at Prince Zhan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, for whom she also saw for a long time. She suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and in order to ease the awkwardness, she decided to say something.

"Did my makeup look good?" After which, he secretly wanted to smash himself to death. What the heck was this fellow talking about?

Prince Zhan looked at Nangong Waner's exquisite makeup and her elegant and refined appearance, as well as her feminine charm. Her heart immediately turned into spring water, as she didn't know that women could be so beautiful. As he thought this in his heart, he said, "This is the first time I've seen such makeup, I really …" "It's a bit strange."

Nangong Waner heard it in his heart. Was his drawing exaggerated? Different times, perhaps aesthetic differences, makeup acceptance is also very different? She saw that the make-up of this era focused on blush and lips, and that she was doing her best, focusing on the eyes and the overall light of the face.

When he thought about the two big missions that Madam Yang had given him, Nangong Waner became a little anxious, "What do we do then?"

Chu Xiuhan took a hot towel from somewhere and carefully wiped Nangong Waner's face. She carefully wiped away the blood on Nangong Waner's face, leaving not a single trace behind. Then, she straightened Nangong Waner's face and said seriously, "Un, this is much more normal."

Nangong Waner's hanging heart instantly calmed down, "Thank you."

Chu Xiuhan could not hold back his laughter. He had to endure it with all his might. Then, he took out a box of pastries from somewhere and placed it in front of Nangong Waner, "This is the crystal cake from a first-rate building, try it."

Nangong Waner was immediately overjoyed. He took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. At this time, the cup of tea that Chu Xiuhan was holding had already arrived in front of Nangong Waner, and he finished it in one gulp. With the tea, the taste became smoother. His eyes squinted happily, and his large eyes curved like crescent moons.

"Why is this crystal cake a little different than the ones I bought earlier? It looks more exquisite, but the taste is more fragrant, but not greasy." Nangong Waner was holding a piece of cake and was observing it carefully.

The Prince Zhan smiled and did not say a word.

Zi Ye, who was in the middle of driving, heard the conversation inside the car and couldn't help but secretly curse. Wasn't it the same? This was something that was given to him by the royal family.

When he was full, Nangong Waner felt sleepy, and he shook his head as if he was about to fall asleep.

Right at the moment when Nangong Waner was about to slam into the window, Prince Zhan suddenly reached out and grabbed Nangong Waner's head, allowing him to lean on his shoulder.

Chu Xiuhan lowered his head to look at the little girl sleeping soundly on his shoulder, and then directly looked at Nangong Waner's rosy and full lips.

In his dreams, Nangong Waner felt someone kiss him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw himself leaning on Prince Zhan's shoulder, Prince Zhan was reading a book calmly and then fell asleep again. Maybe he was dreaming.

Outside the carriage, Ju Xiang was confused, the horses of the Prince Zhan's Mansion seemed to be Ferghana Horses, why was the speed of the carriage slower than the old horses of the Zhongshu Officer Manor? This was simply pacing.

Ju Xiang pointed at the horse suspiciously as he asked Zi Ye about it.

Zi Ye explained leisurely, "This horse was injured in the battlefield, and there will be consequences."

Ju Xiang was speechless. How long would it take for him to reach Assistant Minister’s Residence?

"Big Brother Ye, the streets in front of the Prime Minister's Estate seem to be smoother and closer to each other." Ju Xiang carefully warned her with good intentions.

Zi Ye didn't even look at Ju Xiang and indifferently agreed. But in the blink of an eye, he drove into a remote alley and the carriage started to budge. Ju Xiang jumped up and down from his seat in the car as he cursed in his heart: "Isn't this the first day I got on duty!"
