Three days later, it was the rumoured Spring Festival of Peach Blossom and Water.

After putting the thing away, Qingning didn't have any other feelings other than that the hairpin was probably worth a lot of money. He put it away and went back into his Alchemy Scripture.

He completely didn't realize that Zhinuan was busy dressing Qingning up so early in the morning, how he had left a few strands of fine hair on her forehead, how he had managed to perfectly conceal that birthmark.

Qingning had always disliked wasting time in this area. After being pushed around by the little girl for nearly an hour, he could not sit still any longer and pushed away those busy hands, "Alright, alright, stop tormenting yourself!"

Zhinuan was suddenly pushed away, and the jade comb in his hands accidentally fell onto the ground and split into two. The little girl opened her eyes wide, and looked at him in a daze, as if she couldn't believe it.

Since she had seen Zhinuan protecting her master with loyalty since the day she had teleported to this world, and didn't truly belong to him as master and servant, it could be said that this was the first time Qingning had clearly displayed such an unhappy attitude.

Looking at the little girl's pouting face in the copper mirror, Qingning looked like she was about to cry but didn't dare to cry. Qingning stroked her hair which hung down, and realized that Zhinuan was afraid that she would be mocked because of the birthmark on her face. He slowed down his tone and said: "I know that you are doing this for my own good. In that case, why don't I just show up as if I liked it? "

Zhinuan nodded as if he understood her, and went forward to comb her hair into a bun that was both simple and generous, as usual.

The little girl was very careful and didn't make any sound during the entire process. Qingning reckoned that she thought that she had overreacted and wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't have the time to do it, so he didn't really know what to say.

When she looked up, she saw Zhinuan holding a hibiscus mutabilis and gesturing it on her forehead. Seeing that her movements were discovered, Zhinuan insisted embarrassedly, "Miss, how about we bring this on?"

Qingning: "..."

Why did he feel like he had hurt this little girl just now? It was better to be strong and stubborn than anyone else, right?

In the end, Zhinuan did not succeed in persuading his young miss.

It was really strange. Other people couldn't even hate to be covered by a layer of powder even if they had a pimple on their face. They were afraid that others would see it.

Even if she was participating in such a banquet, if she wasn't pressed down for a bit, she would probably be able to leave the room. Zhinuan truly felt that if it wasn't for the peach blossom shirt that was sent by the palace, her young miss would have been able to wear a set of ordinary old clothes and would have been able to head there immediately.

What Zhinuan did not know was that, in the beginning, Qingning did not even want to go, it was just that in the ancient times, under special circumstances, he could not go against the Imperial Family.

He left the courtyard and passed through his own little garden. The old mistress had already warned him a lot in the past two days, but he had woken up early today so he did not call her over. When he had just reached the entrance, he saw Lady Lin replacing the fresh and beautiful Lu Mengyan, tidying up the slightly disordered tassels while softly saying something.

"Qingning, before we went to the imperial court, the old master had specially instructed us to listen to more of Yan Er's words and not to speak too much. You must remember this!" When he saw her, he immediately turned around, as if trying to let people clearly see the clothes Lu Mengyan was wearing, a white dress with peach blossoms at the collar. Other than the difference in clothing, it also meant that Lu Mengyan was qualified to participate in this banquet.

This Lady Lin, at the time she was pretending to be pitiful, would actually call her Second Miss in front of others. Once she had the confidence, she would call her Qingning "Qingning" and "Qingning".

Qingning leisurely walked past them, and the moment they separated, he asked Zhinuan in confusion, "Zhinuan, did you hear someone talk to me earlier?"

The little girl looked straight at the black horse dragging the incense cart. She answered with sincerity, "I didn't hear anything!"

Lady Lin paused for a moment, then chased after her and called out, "Second Miss!"

"Hmm?" It was only then that Qingning heard this, extended his hand to stroke the horse's head, waiting for the words to come out.

Lu Mengyan being able to get Lu Lianghua to get another spot to enter the banquet was nothing to her, it was just the reverse, so she should speak less! He clearly wanted her to be his foil, but it was a pity that she had never been one to be manipulated by others!

The main wife of Minister Lu had already passed away, just like Lady Lin, the kind of concubine who usually maintained her dignity in front of servants was not bad, but when she was outside, she would not be able to get on stage at all, and Old Madame Lu's body had always been in a bad condition, so if he bumped into a noble, only Lu Qingning and Lu Mengyan could get out. There was only one carriage, so it was obvious that it would be crowded.

"Father told me to look favorably upon the Second Sister because I'm afraid that you won't be able to do anything detrimental to your future exit! "After all …" Lu Mengyan and Lady Lin covered their mouths and laughed as if they understood each other. So what if Second Miss Lu was no longer stupid, his past reputation was so terrible, he could not even hear much about it in the Palace.

Qingning could not bear to speak any further, so he pointed at Zhinuan and indicated for him to get on the carriage. Before entering the carriage, he did not forget to stop for a moment, and said: "Miss Shu must have a standard carriage outside, so big sister and I can't squeeze together anymore!"

With that, he took the whip from the driver's hand and galloped away, leaving the mother and daughter pair to send them off with fierce gazes.

Lu Mengyan had always lived up to the status of the young miss, if he had come with Qingning, others would only say that the young miss of the Lu's Mansion had come to attend the banquet, but if they were to separate, just by looking at the configuration, they would know who was more noble and cheap, and that would be weird for the mother and daughter.

Spring in March, grass and birds fly, it is a good time for peach blossoms to bloom.

Along the way, there were a lot of people standing in groups and talking about this lady, which young noble was in the prime of her life and which Marquis' son was still not married yet? They were sure to get a lot of good karma for this Spring Festival.

After walking for about an hour, Qingning rested in the carriage. On the way, he counted the number of times the curtain of the carriage curtain had been lifted on the right side of the carriage by the girl.

In the Yongan records, it said that the Grand Empress Dowager was an extremely unique woman. There were too many beautiful peonies in the world and there were also many beautiful flowers in the spring and autumn, and this young girl, who had taken a liking to the mundane world, could be found anywhere, growing any kind of life type, which was the love of the Northern Plains Emperor, making all kinds of rare and precious fruits appear like this. It became a beautiful saying even in this world.

When they arrived, there were guards standing guard. The brightly dressed young eunuch stepped forward to welcome them, "Young Masters and misses, please follow me!"
