Chapter 1: Shangyuan-1

Tonight is the Lantern Festival that I have been thinking about for a long time. Countless young men and ladies from Beijing will attend the lantern festival tonight, and the scene will be very lively.

Logically speaking, I should be able to go out, but my father and brother banned me from going out because of the fight for the throne in the court.

What does the struggle for the throne have to do with me, a female generation?

After trying all kinds of persuasion to no avail, my father and brother were so annoyed by me that they closed the door to me and sent many retainers to guard my yard. It was said that not even a bird would be able to fly out tonight.

How is this possible! Not to mention that I made an appointment with the second young lady of Zhang Shilang's family and the third young lady of Liu Shangshu's family, but the countless young talents who came out of the Lantern Festival today made my heart move in every possible way.

If you don't let me out, will I not go out?

How could I be so obedient?

"Oh! My eldest lady! You...can you stay still for a day! This will be discovered by the master and the young master, and I will shed my skin!" Yuebai has always been timid, and she wants to cause trouble again when she sees me.

, then followed behind me and kept thinking.

I rolled my eyes at her and told her to keep her voice down. I didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but suddenly I realized that tonight's plan couldn't be done without her. I stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, comforting her softly: "What are you afraid of? Who am I?"

Ah, I am Liang Huanqing, the only eldest daughter in the house of General Jianwei! I am famous for my intelligence and agility. As long as you obey me and do what I say, I guarantee that you will not be discovered, even if something goes wrong.

I will never tell you anything. Quick, help me change my clothes."

It was probably my confident look that convinced Yue Bai. This stupid girl, who was as timid as a mouse, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward to change into my brother's clothes for me.

That’s right, I’ve asked about everything.

The situation in the court has been strange recently. The emperor is old and seriously ill, the queen has died of illness, and Concubine Mei is favored in the harem. The emperor has few children, only two sons, the prince and Prince Jing. They say that mother and son are dependent on each other, and the prince has lost his mother's protection and is alone.

Prince Jing had great power in the court, and all the harem and front dynasty changed hands at once. The courtiers were naturally divided into two factions: the prince and Prince Jing.

As General Jianwei, who is above the Three Lords, my father naturally needs to express his attitude, so tonight the soldiers of all ranks under my father and brother's account will take advantage of the Lantern Festival to gather in the mansion to discuss matters. Look at the battle, I'm afraid it will last more than three years.

Four hours is not necessarily the end.

And I, relying on my appearance that is 70% similar to my brother, put on his clothes, even if I am seen by my retainers when I leave from the main entrance, so what, the meeting hall is secretly holding a meeting, and even my father and brother's close relatives are being screened away.

Not many people know about this gathering. By the time they can go and confirm it, I will have already returned from the lantern party having fun. By then, if I refuse to admit it, what can they do to me?

I get very excited just thinking about it. This method is so wonderful, much better than drilling holes through walls.

I laughed proudly. Yuebai, who was tying my knot in front of me, was startled by my laughter. She couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you sure this idea is foolproof? Why do I feel... so unreliable?"

…just in case…"

"You crow's mouth," I reached out and flicked her forehead, "just cooperate with me and wait for me to bring you hibiscus cake."

When Yuebai heard about the hibiscus cake, she became happy and hurriedly changed my clothes.
