    On the ninth day of July, people from the Chu family in Beijing sent congratulatory gifts in person. The person who came was Chu Chengping, the eldest brother of Chu Yujing’s mother.

    This etiquette cannot be broken, even brothers and sisters have no reason to speak in private.

    But the King of Longxi didn’t care about this. He said a few words to Chu Chengping in the main hall, and then asked the attendants around him: “Let someone invite the princess to come over.”

    Then he said to Chu Chengping: “Your brother and sister haven’t seen each other for a while. Let’s talk to ourselves. I will drink with my wife and brother in the evening.”

    After that, he took his attendants and walked out.

    When Chu Yujing came, she saw only her eldest brother in the house, and felt very strange.

    Chu Chengping said: “I didn’t expect that the King of Longxi is completely informal. How does he treat you?”

    “Brother, everything is fine with me. How is my mother at home? My mother sent me a letter earlier saying that my father plans to send Chu Yuxian to the palace again. Is this what the eldest sister means?”

    Chu Chengping frowned: “Elder sister has not been in good health since she entered the palace. I’m afraid something is wrong now. Chu Yuxian’s matter is probably instigated by Aunt Zhao, so don’t worry about it.”

    Chu Yujing burst into tears.

    Chu Chengping looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice and said to Chu Yujing: “Cousin Zian got married in March this year. Sister, you and the King of Longxi live a good life. I don’t know what will happen in the future. You can just deal with it with your grandfather and father. It’s not like today when my father favors Aunt Zhao, mother and son.”

    Chu Yujing was slightly startled, and after a while she reluctantly said, “Brother, I know.”

    It’s July, and Ganzhou, Longxi, is still very hot, and the sun is shining brightly. Generally, few people go out. However, today is the birthday of the princess of Longxi Palace, and everyone in Ganzhou who has any respect has received an invitation.

    Even the local chief envoy Yao Gui came. This chief envoy was a local official appointed by the imperial court, and he and the King of Longxi were in check with each other. However, the king of Longxi was powerful, and now the chief envoy in the Longxi area was actually just an empty frame, with a name but no power.

    The maid in the palace welcomed the person into the Yaoyue Tower, and Princess Chu and the concubine Chen personally greeted them.

    “Mrs. Yao.”

    “The princess, the concubine.”

    Behind Mrs. Yao were two girls, one was more than ten years younger, and the other looked to be old enough to get married.

    “This is my little girl.” Mrs. Yao said, pointing to another girl behind her. “This is my sister’s daughter. Her surname is Yu. She comes from Suzhou. My sister is not in good health, so I brought her out to see the world.”

    This is quite interesting. The so-called “seeing the world” actually means meeting other people. When this person was brought to the palace, everyone knew what was going on.

    Chu Yujing smiled and handed over two jade bracelets, called the maid beside her, and said: “Please invite the two ladies to drink tea in the side hall.”

    The three concubines in the mansion are all sitting in the side hall. Fortunately, the Han family and the Zhou family can chat with these local noble ladies from Longxi from time to time.

    Hua Jinren sat crookedly on a chair and drank tea slowly, paying no attention to anyone. Xia He stood aside and fanned her.

    This movement was bigger than the princess’s airs, but after all, it could not be brought to the forefront. After these young ladies from aristocratic families secretly heard about her origins, they no longer cared.

    It was Yu Jia brought by Mrs. Yao who had her eyes on Hua Jin for a long time.

    Mr. Han, who was sitting next to her, noticed it and said to Yu Jia with a slight smile: “Miss Yu, what are you looking at? That is the prince’s concubine, and she is the most favored.”

    The last name is Hua?

    After all, Yu Jia was still young and couldn’t hide her thoughts. When she heard this, the tea cup in her hand almost broke.

    Mrs. Han saw her gaffe, but changed the subject and talked to her about clothes and hairpins.

    But Yu Jia was obviously absent-minded and looked straight at Hua Jin.
