Chapter 2304: First Come First, Near Water and Tower

After the engagement, in order to avoid suspicion, Caicai did not enter the palace often.

But on festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival, she would still go to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen, and play with the two princesses carrying rice dumplings wrapped with colorful threads.

As the princesses get older, they also have social needs.

A lot of noble girls have grown up in Beijing in the past few years, but not many are qualified to play with the princess and catch her eye.

Yun Dai invited the clan's family members and wives into the palace to attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and many noble ladies also came. In order to make it easier for the little girls to play together, Yun Dai opened another table so that the princesses and ladies could be together without being disturbed by adults, and they could talk and play games freely.

The two princesses are naturally the absolute protagonists.

The two of them have exactly the same appearance, wearing red shirts and skirts. One has bright eyes and a lively smile. One has snow-white skin, elegant and calm.

Even though their facial features may not be as stunning as Caicai's, standing among the crowd, they must be the most dazzling couple.

They were sitting on both sides of the long table, with Caicai on the left and Princess Shunkang, the granddaughter of the Prince Chun family, on the right.

The other noble daughters of the clan and the ladies of the official families sat in a row.

Qian'er and young children are the most noble, but today the ladies are also very interested in Princess Canglan sitting next to them.

After all, she had just been engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince and was the future Crown Princess.

Before, she was the object of ridicule in the circle of aristocratic ladies.

Because her mother was an ordinary wife, she was divorced.

Even if she is a princess, she is not born into it. It comes from the relationship between the Queen and her mother as master and servant.

This naturally makes the real princesses and county heads in the clan look down upon.

No serious prince or princess could stay in the palace every day with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princesses, but she, who had an unjustified reputation, could do it.

Princess Shunkang was the first to be unconvinced.

Now she is engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince.

The noble ladies felt sour in their hearts.

Princess Shunkang couldn't bear it any longer and murmured in a low voice: "Sure enough, the one who is near the water and the tower gets the moon first."

The sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for everyone to hear.

Many noble ladies chuckled.

Caicai's face turned red and she held the handkerchief in her hands.

The child smacked the cup and said: "Shunkang, you are so full that you can't find trouble? What does it mean that first comes first to get the moon near the water and the terrace? Who is the terrace and who is the moon?"

Shunkang stood up, lowered his head and said, "I was just joking, I didn't mean anything else."

"Who do you think is stupid?" The child snorted, "Even if you were raised in the palace since you were a child, the prince's brother would still look down on you."

"What the second princess said is a bit excessive."

"I'm just telling the truth. You don't even look at your face. How can you compare with Cai Cai?"

"Infant." Qian'er pulled her sister to sit down and stopped her from talking any more.

Shunkang was only twelve or thirteen years old. Hearing this, his eye circles were already red and tears were welling up in his eyes.

At this time, the little eunuch's voice came: "His Royal Highness has arrived——"

The girls quickly stood up and saluted.

Yan'er walked over with a smile, followed by the second prince, accompanying Song Qianmo, and several accompanying eunuchs.

They all had purses embroidered by the Queen herself.

The second prince is still young, but the prince and the son of the Song family are teenagers. They are both handsome young men with light fur belts and rich clothes and crowns.

Especially His Highness the Crown Prince, who inherited the emperor's facial features and handsome appearance, took the ladies' breath away when he appeared.

Good night, please give me another monthly ticket. Don’t waste the last day. I love you all.
