The beautiful court ladies who were accompanying them whispered something, and one of the young men took out something that looked like a jade pendant from his arms and quickly handed it over with a meaningful smile.

"So, are today's guests all princes and nobles?"

"That's right! Look at that generous look. How about you go over and say a few words of greeting? Maybe you can get some good things!"

"don't want……"

Thinking that she could supplement her family's income, Shui Xinyuan certainly wanted gold and silver, but after taking a look at the people gathered there, she didn't want to sit next to them at all.

...I only want to sit next to His Highness Fusu.

"Where's Qing'er? Do you want to have some social talk?"

"I don't want it. Do you want me to get close to those uneducated and lazy men?"

"...You don't want to either, right?"

The two of them hid in the darkness of the big pillar and hunched their shoulders.

…

Halfway through the banquet, the palace dancers performed amid the continuous music, and then it was Zhuyan's turn to come on stage. Shui Xinyuan and Qing'er also mixed in with the other palace dancers, dancing behind them.

No one is looking at me.

Lu Fusu is not here, Shui Xinyuan realized this deeply today.

…I don’t know what’s going on with His Highness Fusu…

Today's banquet starts after sunset, so it will probably last until midnight.

Although I saw Uncle Forbes in the morning, he didn't hold the red cloth.

Lu Fusu didn't ask Shui Xinyuan to come over, but now she wanted to see him inexplicably.

No one noticed Shui Xinyuan's unhappy expression.

After the dance, the princes and nobles applauded.

"It's so wonderful, Zhuyan!"

"As expected of Zhuyan, come here, come here."

With a charming smile on her face, Zhuyan bowed gently and walked slowly to Lu Wuxian.

"Long time no see, you have become more beautiful again!"
