After Yang Yuhuan said this, Qing Nü's brows gradually furrowed.
"The Flower-Adorning Gathering?"
"Yes."
Yang Yuhuan nodded. Seeing Qing Nü frown without answering, she could not help growing nervous as well.
"Could it be that Yu Se... doesn't want to go? It's fine if you don't!"
Watching Yang Yuhuan nervously wave her hands, Qing Nü fell silent for a moment before sighing softly and nodding. "Rest assured, Yuhuan. Since you invited me personally, how could I refuse? It's just that... I'm not a noble lady of Chang'an. May I go as well?"
"You can."
Yang Yuhuan nodded at once.
Looking at Qing Nü, she said, "Yu Se can simply come with me!"
"Then that settles it."
Qing Nü nodded.
The two beamed with delight and chatted for quite some time longer. Only after returning to Chang'an City did they prepare to part ways.
Before they parted, Yang Yuhuan asked again, "Where does Yu Se live? Why not come to my home?"
"No need to trouble yourself. I have a house in Chang'an."
Qing Nü shook her head.
Seeing Qing Nü still refuse, Yang Yuhuan did not press the matter further. She nodded and said, "All right, then I'll head back first! Shall I have my maidservant escort you home?"
Qing Nü still shook her head. "I can go back on my own! Be careful on the road."
"Mhm."
Yang Yuhuan nodded.
Qing Nü stood where she was, watching Yang Yuhuan depart.
Only after she vanished from sight did Qing Nü withdraw her gaze, the look in her eyes gradually turning cold.

The two little children, Li Pingyang and Li Boqin, were playing with Brother Ox.
"What's going on?"
Qing Nü
