Halfway through the two, they happened to meet Bai Yanran who was also coming to the banquet.

When Bai Yanran saw Ye Qingwan's first glance, she was immediately stunned, obviously also being shocked by Ye Qingwan's outfit. She knew that Ye Qingwan herself was a full beauty, but for a long time, she had only seen her who was dressed in a rustic manner in the past and her elegant appearance later. She thought that Ye Qingwan's cold dress was enough to be amazed, but she didn't expect that her outfit is more appropriate now, as if she was born to dress up such noble and luxuriously, and those ordinary dresses on weekdays were aggrieved her.

"What's wrong? Why are you stunned?"

Bai Yanran suddenly shuddered, and then she realized that Ye Qingwan and Xu Mao both stopped and stood there looking at her. She smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go together."

Ye Qingwan nodded, looked at Xu Mao beside him and bowed to him, saying, "Dadfather-in-law, go and do your business first. Miss Bai will not get lost with me."

Xu Mao didn't ask much, nodded and flicked his head and left.

While walking, Bai Yanran looked around and found that there was no one around and asked a question Bai Ri didn't ask: "Qingwan, how could that Mr. Jiang participate in the assessment as a student?"

Ye Qingwan walked by the way. After the first step into the deep palace, she disappeared completely without her previous lazy appearance. She looked straight ahead and said indifferently: "I don't know either."

Bai Yanran was thinking, and after pondering for a while, she was interrupted.

"This person has many doubts about his identity and behavior. For such a person, the farther he is, the better."

At this time, in the rainbow light hall

The two men and three women who were qualified to join the cabinet today, except for Ye Qingwan and Bai Yanran who were still on the road, have arrived at their seats. Jiang Shuo looked around for a long time and not only did he not see the familiar white figure, but he saw people who should not have appeared in the Rainbow Light Hall.

Ye Ningxue, wearing a light pink long skirt, was sitting on the female mat on the other side chatting with the noble girls around her, as if she was the one who was qualified today, not Ye Qingwan.

Jiang Shuo raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that this woman was so thick-skinned. Then he held her chin with one hand and looked at the group of noble ladies who were chatting with relish.

There is the most eye-catching girl in gorgeous clothes among them, which is why Ye Ningxue is clearly not qualified to join the cabinet but still appears at the celebration banquet.

The girl in gorgeous clothes is Shen Ting, the fifth princess of Chu Yi.

She called some ladies from aristocratic families who had acquaintances with her to be with her, and among them was Ye Ningxue, who was missing the right to join the cabinet today.

As for why Shen Ting has the privilege of giving whoever she wants to come...

Jiang Shuo probably knows some of the reasons.

Chu Yi had four princesses many years ago, but they all died mysteriously before the hairpin. He thought that the fate of these five princesses would be the same as her sisters, but now Shen Ting is sixteen and is still safe.

Emperor Chuyi thought that the fifth princess's safety was a good omen. In addition, there was only one girl among the eight children, Shen Ting, so she loved her very much and was lawless.

Since you have the emperor's love, isn't it equivalent to doing whatever you want? So today's situation... Maybe Shen Ting thought it was boring to be alone, so she called her so-called friends.
