Song Qianfan had just warned Su Juan not to leave the Prince Mansion, yet shortly after, a message came from the palace inviting the entire family for a banquet, specifically naming Su Juan.
Su Juan dressed ostentatiously and swaggered past Song Qianfan, fearing he might miss her, waving her round fan twice.
She curtsied with a sweet smile, "Young Master."
Song Qianfan turned his face away and got onto the carriage, choosing to ignore it, but the carriage couldn't block out Su Juan's voice.
[Well, someone won't let me leave the mansion, but there are plenty of people who invite me out. It's really unavoidable.]
Su Juan lifted her dress and boarded another carriage.
"..." Song Qianfan pressed his thin lips together, holding a new string of prayer beads.
...
In the palace, flowers bloomed everywhere; the Empress hosted the Hundred Flowers Banquet, inviting many noble families' wives to the palace.
