Pian Fangfang

Meng Qianqian, at the age of 15, married into the Lu Family to bring joy to the elderly matriarch.

On the wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border that her husband had been commanded to go to war. Six months later, he tragically died at the hands of Beiliang soldiers.

Five years later, the husband who had been presumed dead returned, and by his side was an ethereal mute woman named Wan'er.

Lu Lingxiao said that Wan'er was the descendant of a loyal and righteous family, entirely different from her—a merchant girl reeking of copper coins. He claimed Wan'er was a true paragon of noble character.

Lu Lingxiao also said that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the heavens, while someone like her was nothing more than a fragile flower, unworthy of comparison.

It was not until the land was broken, the city walls fell, and she wielded a Red Tassel Spear to crush countless soldiers that Lu Lingxiao realized he had misjudged her.

She was not a delicate flower confined within the depths of the mansion; she was the fiercest west wind of Yumen Pass.

Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Princess Wanping left the palace earlier than Meng Qianqian, but even so, she had been "locked up" for twenty days. Upon emerging from the palace, it was only fitting to host a lively banquet to announce to all that Wanping had returned.


As such, the mansion was bustling with guests today.


Madam Lin and her daughter, as well as Madam Zhou and her daughter, had arrived. Madam Wang was resting during her pregnancy, so Wang Rou stayed home to accompany her.


Logically speaking, Zhou Nanyan, soon to enter the palace as a consort, should avoid public appearances, but because Princess Wanping was Zong Zhengxi's elder sister, her etiquette instructor had no choice but to make an exception.


The banquet was set in a shaded small garden, where a stage had been constructed in the south. The most renowned opera troupe in the Capital City was performing "Baihua Pavilion," which tells the story of the Imperial Concubine intoxicated by wine.


The guests were enchanted by the performance.
