Episode 2: The eldest princess holds a banquet and traps Liuli

Liuli was wondering why Yu Nu hadn't returned when she saw Yu Nu appear, looking arrogant.She revealed in a high profile that she went to the county government office yesterday and spent the night there.Pei Xingjian's maid A Ni couldn't stand it and accused Yu Nu of being too arrogant in front of Liuli.However, Liuli did not let A Ni continue to blame, and just watched silently.Pei Xingjian returned later, asked the doorman and learned that Liuli had returned, so he hurried to find her.Yu Nu intercepted Pei Xingjian halfway and pretended to be innocent.Pei Xingjian was well aware that Liuli should have heard about what happened yesterday from Yu Nu.He had to go back to the room to change clothes.A Ni privately asked Pei Xingjian's follower Acheng, who swore that nothing happened.

However, Ani still smelled Yunu's scent from Acheng's hands.When Pei Xingjian came back, Liuli immediately went to find him.She noticed that he had changed his clothes.Ah Cheng was worried that Liuli would be angry, so he wet Pei Xingjian's clothes in advance and lied that he changed them because they were wet.Yu Nu was listening to the goings on in the room outside the door, with a smile on her lips.After Liuli took the maids out of the room, he ordered them not to leak what happened today.This made Yu Nu leave disappointed.Liuli turned around and saw Yu Nu's leaving figure, but said nothing.

Liuli and Pei Xingjian came to the mansion again at the invitation of the eldest princess.At the banquet, the eldest princess mentioned Liuli's concubine Coral and expressed her intention to make her the prince's concubine.She guessed that Pei Xingjian had not remarried for many years because he could never forget Lu Qiniang.Although Liuli understood that this was the eldest princess's plan to alienate each other, she could not help but feel a little unhappy in her heart.

Later, Liuli and Pei Xingjian returned to their parents' home and conveyed the princess's wishes to her father.Pei Xingjian kindly reminded Hualu that if she chooses to become a concubine, her life may not be easy in the future and she may cry often.

However, Coral's mother overheard this conversation and immediately came to Coral to stir up trouble, accusing Liuli and Pei Xingjian of not seeing Coral live a good life.After hearing this, Coral came angrily to intercept Liuli and Pei Xingjian, accusing Pei Xingjian of deliberately destroying her good deeds in order to avenge Liuli.When Pei Xingjian saw this, he stopped trying to dissuade her and allowed Huo Huan to vent her anger.

Huanhuo continued to curse, and Pei Xingjian decided to tell the eldest princess what she said.Coral's mother was so frightened that she knelt down and begged not to spread the matter. She also begged the eldest princess not to resign her employment and asked Liuli to let Coral go.

Mother and daughter knelt in front of Liuli, begging her for forgiveness and promising not to offend again.Upon seeing this, Pei Xingjian said that he would forget the blame, but also reminded Hualu that he would have to bear his own blessings and misfortunes in the future.

The eldest princess is planning to hold a hibiscus banquet and asks Atui to send out an invitation list, including Lu Jinniang.Atui felt very strange and thought that Lu Jinniang would not come, but the eldest princess had her own plans. She deliberately invited Lu Jinniang knowing that she would not come.

On the day of the hibiscus banquet, there were many guests.Pei Xingjian and Liuli came by car together. Pei Xingjian knew that Liuli was arranged second to the female guest, and he was a little worried. He was worried that the eldest princess had ulterior motives, and she kept the name of the female guest secret from the outside world, which made Pei Xingjian uneasy.Pei Xingjian held Liuli's hand and warned her many times, fearing that he would not take good care of her, but Liuli was not afraid. As long as Pei Xingjian was there, she felt at ease.

Liuli attracted everyone's attention as soon as she arrived at the banquet, especially the dress she was wearing. They were even more envious.At this time, the emperor ordered Pei Xingjian to enter the palace quickly.Pei Xingjian was worried about Liuli, and Ani had already looked at the names of the female guests and came here to report them, including Pei Yan's wife and Lu Jinniang.Pei Xingjian was even more worried. Liuli promised that he would be careful in his words and actions and nothing would happen to him. Pei Xingjian had no choice but to hand over Liuli to A Ni for good care.

As expected, at the banquet, the eldest princess deliberately made people misunderstand that the reason why Lu Jinniang did not come to the banquet was because of Liuli's arrival.Liuli had been claiming that Lu Qiniang had lost Pei Xingjian's family property and insisted on checking the accounts, which was why Lu Jinniang was angry.Liuli proposed to ask Lu Jinniang to come and explain the misunderstanding, but the eldest princess found a reason to refuse, and ostensibly promised to find an opportunity to explain the misunderstanding to the two of them.Unexpectedly, Lu Jinniang came at this time and showed great support for Liuli and supported Liuli's audit.

In fact, Lu Jinniang didn't plan to come at first, but after receiving urgent information from Pei Xingjian, she hurried over.I had heard about Liuli's deeds before, and thought that only someone like Liuli could compete with the eldest princess, unlike Lu Qiniang who lost her life.

When the eldest princess's plan failed, she made another plan and asked Liuli to tell Liuli to paint.Liuli had no choice but to ask her maid to inform Cen Niang to come over and paint together. Liuli then took Cuizhu and Ani to find the eldest princess.The eldest princess asked Liuli to draw an ink painting similar to her skirt, but she took the opportunity to dirty Liuli's skirt.

The eldest princess took the opportunity to ask Huanhuo to get a new dress for Liuli to put on, but Liuli didn't agree. Huanhuan took the opportunity to ask Liuli to draw ink directly on the skirt. Liuli also agreed and wanted to use ink to draw a dragonfly.Liuli wanted to leave after painting, but was stopped by Coral again. On the surface, she wanted to send Liuli away out of deep sisterly affection, hoping that Liuli could save her face, and Liuli agreed.However, Liuli was brought to the garden by Hualu and his party, and saw a drunk Pei Yan being supported by a maid.A Ni realized something was wrong and quickly stopped Pei Yan. Knowing that this was a conspiracy, she urged Liu Li to leave quickly.But unexpectedly, Liuli was stopped by Coral, in order to create a misunderstanding and make everyone think that Liuli was having a secret meeting with her old lover.

Liuli had no choice but to cross the river, broke off the bamboo in her hand, and warned the chasing maids that anyone who dared to cross would scratch their faces.The maid didn't dare to go there easily, and Coral's shouting attracted many guests.Some male guests stopped Pei Yan from insisting on talking to Liuli. After questioning, Pei Yan explained that he was called over by a maid, saying that Liuli had something to do with him.
