The day of the Heavy Sun Festival was the day to go to the Prime Minister's wedding banquet. The banquet would normally be held tonight, but Nangong Waner would be eating breakfast and lunch obediently at home.

During breakfast, Lord Assistant Minister and Madam Yang only coughed a few times when they saw Nangong Waner like this, but when it was lunch time, Lord Assistant Minister was a little embarrassed.

Madam Yang naturally knew why the Lord Assistant Minister was unhappy. It must be because he saw that his daughter was not dressed up at all, and was afraid that she would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of official business. Madam Yang glanced at Nangong Waner, "Wan Er, I heard from the officials and the wives that there is a Auntie Li in Octagon Aniseed who is doing a good job. Do you need me to invite someone to do your head for you?"

Nangong Waner did not expect the Lord Assistant Minister couple to really place importance on this blind date feast. It was only just noon and they had anxiously urged her not to tidy up her clothes, she was initially just eating in silence, but after hearing Madam Yang's words, she raised her chopsticks and stood there stunned, then she immediately said to Madam Yang magnanimously, "There's no need, Mother. Don't worry, I promise I will clean up a lot for myself.

Madam Yang asked, puzzled, "What guarantee? Fighting for two?"

Nangong Waner patted his chest, and said clearly, "Baobai has brought back a man for marriage, I hope he can bring back two men for marriage!"

This time, it was Madam Yang who was stunned, the water in Lord Assistant Minister's mouth almost sprayed out, fortunately he held back.

"All day long, what nonsense are you spouting? Just don't add tiles to that rotten reputation of yours." Lord Assistant Minister seemed to not like Nangong Waner.

Nangong Waner, on the other hand, kept to what he said. After eating, he went back to his house and began to put on makeup. He did it for four whole hours until the butler came to push him on, "The carriage has already been waiting at the door for a long time."

Nangong Waner was still neither fast nor slow, he earnestly drew in front of the mirror, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Ju Xiang, "Look, Ju Xiang, I feel like the sides of my eyes are asymmetrical."

Ju Xiang was very calm, "Your drawing is very good, young miss, let's quickly head out, if we are too late, we will become the focus of everyone's attention!" Only then did Nangong Waner slowly stand up and left the Palace.

As he stood at the door, Nangong Waner suddenly thought about the scene where the Assistant Minister’s Residence came to the banquet that day and sent a carriage over to receive him. Wan Er could not help but smile, as if it was still the day before yesterday.

Ju Xiang could not help but ask the young miss: "What is the young miss thinking?" As he spoke, he helped Nangong Waner up onto the carriage.

Nangong Waner smiled, but Ju Xiang felt that that smile was very sweet. He only heard Nangong Waner saying mysteriously, "I wonder if Luo Hua is sentimental or heartless."

Recently, Ju Xiang felt that she was becoming more and more unfathomable.

Nangong Waner, who was sitting in the horse carriage, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped the horse carriage. He pulled open the curtains to take a look, and then closed the curtains again.

Ju Xiang also didn't understand why the young miss suddenly lost her interest and became so listless. She was obviously serious in dressing up a moment ago, that look was really marvelous.

After getting off the carriage, Nangong Waner stood at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Palace in a daze for a while. The Prime Minister's Palace was indeed not an ordinary palace, although it was not as grand and luxurious as the Prince Zhan's Mansion, it should be comparable to the Prince Zhan's Mansion's.

He did not expect that Nangong Waner would arrive a little early, and had only been on good terms with Liu Chan so he was unfamiliar with others as well. Nangong Waner instructed Ju Xiang to wait in the hall, and when the banquet was over, he went to look for her.

Nangong Waner discovered that there was actually a row of Hibiscus trees planted in the Prime Minister's Residence's courtyard. It was obvious that they had passed their blooming days and only a few flowers hung from the trees.

Just as Nangong Waner was thinking about it, he did not notice that someone had arrived.

Miss, when you were young, you entered the palace with Prince Zhan and saw a Hibiscus tree that looked really good. When you returned to the manor, you asked the manor to plant a row of them. The maidservant, who should have been brought by the person, was speaking.

"Yes, many years have passed." Nangong Waner recognized the voice, it was most likely the young miss of the Prime Minister's Residence, Qin Ruxue. However, they did not greet him, they just stood under the tree and looked towards the Hibiscus Tree.

Miss, you and Prince Zhan can already be considered a pair. It won't be long before you marry into Prince Zhan's Mansion as your consort. The maid had explained it very clearly, and Nangong Waner couldn't help but listen attentively, but he didn't show it on his face.

Qin Ruxue did not seem to mind what his servant had said, he looked at the Hibiscus tree and smiled gently, "Don't speak nonsense."

"Miss, when you were in your prime, the empress dowager said in front of everyone that you would be married into the Prince Zhan's Mansion on your eighteenth birthday using the imperial edict. Furthermore, everyone knows that the Prince Zhan has an interest in you, and that the backyard of the Prince Zhan's Mansion has been empty for so many years, so it's been waiting for Miss' hard work. Miss, you must see Prince Zhan's painstaking efforts."

Nangong Waner felt that his brain was buzzing, and that his chest was extremely stuffy. He comforted himself in his heart, "It must be because there's no afternoon break," and thought to himself, "It must be because I found a place for Ju Xiang to rest, and immediately turned around to leave, but I still heard Qin Ruxue's gentle voice, and his conversation with her personal servant," I naturally know how he has been doing.

Nangong Waner extended a jade hand to support her head, she seemed to have recovered her spirit, and anxiously wanted to leave, but was stopped by Qin Ruxue who was behind her. "Miss Nangong, sorry for the disrespect, I did not see you earlier."

Nangong Waner could only turn around and greet Qin Ruxue politely, "Miss Qin is too courteous." Somehow, Nangong Waner felt that the hibiscus pattern on Qin Ruxue's body was really dazzling. The last time he had seen her, she was also wearing a hibiscus pattern on her skirt, "Hehe, this is actually a story of a perfect couple, a story of mutual love." Nangong Waner couldn't help but think in his heart.

Qin Ruxue only bid his farewells to the servants in a dignified manner before leaving, "I will be leaving to meet with my guests at Miss Nangong, I still need to meet with guests."

Seeing that Qin Ruxue was smiling at him in a gentle and gentle manner, Nangong Waner also smiled brightly towards Qin Ruxue. Her eyebrows were curved and her appearance was very beautiful, "En, go, go, I will also go over immediately to join in the fun."

Seeing Nangong Waner's smile being so bright, Qin Ruxue's face seemed to turn ugly for a moment. Only, Nangong Waner did not mind it and stood in the same spot watching Hibiscus for a good while.

Nangong Waner didn't know what she was thinking, but she kept having the feeling that the Hibiscus Mutabilis that could be seen everywhere was too emotional. Looking at it, she stared blankly into space.
