When Chun Tao saw Shen Miao, she quickly approached the carriage and spoke to the people in the carriage. Afterwards, the curtain of the carriage was pried open.
Shen Yue and Shen Qing were inside and Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Xiu was there too. The four of them saw Shen Miao’s appearance and could not help but be astonished. Chen Rou Xiu’s eyes flashed but Ren Wan Yun frowned instead, “Little Five, why are you wearing so plainly?”
The Chrysanthemum banquet in the sixty-eighth year of Ming Qi eventually came.
Guang Wen Tang was different than before as the academy examination became a contention of talents. Only the person with the highest talent would be able to stand on the stage to challenge their fellow schoolmates. This would enable the youths to be infused with vitality and for others to see that the students of Guang Wen Tang each had their own merits.
She pointed to one of the blot of brocade and said, “Then this one will do.”
That was a blot of lotus purple material and generally most unmarried females would not choose this material.

The residence of the Marquis of Lin An in Ding capital was indeed magnificent. This was mainly because the Marquis Furen was the Princess Yu Qing whom the late Emperor doted on most. Originally, once he became a Fuma (Princess’s husband), the Marquis of Lin An’s military power must be returned. The late Emperor was unable to withstand Princess Yu Qing’s tantrums and whining, and let things slide. This was enough to show Princess Yu Qing’s position in the late Emperor’s heart.
Princess Yu Qing was an outstanding beauty and had the most gentle and tender temperament. After marrying into the Marquis residence, she was also doted by the Marquis of Lin An. Unfortunately the Marquis of Lin An still brought in a concubine, who was the current Madam Fang.

A major event occurred in early October.
Su Ming Feng, the Eldest Young Master Su, the heir of the Nan Ping Bo family in the Ding capital, suddenly came down with a serious illness and had to recuperate at home. Ping Nan Bo’s heart ached for his favoured son, so he and his Furen stayed at home to take care of the Eldest Young Master Su, temporarily disregarding matters on the military horses. His Majesty bestowed some things to express his sympathy before arranging a new official to take over the management matters.
