After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Yuanbao was speechless and melancholy. He felt that he was somewhat superfluous here.

He stormed off, but before he was out of their sight, he stormed back.

"Brother, ask your husband to catch me a big longhorn beetle, or I'll be unhappy." Yuanbao put her little hands in her pockets. "I'm getting a little upset, I'm going to throw a tantrum."

pearl:"……"

Pearl couldn't bear to look at her stupid younger brother and silently pointed to the grass and trees behind her to Zhao Duo.

Catch him, catch him, catch one for him.

To avoid constant arguing all day long.

Zhao Duo understood and went deep into the bushes to search carefully.

When he returned, a strong, glossy black longhorn beetle was perched on his finger.

Yuanbao took the longhorn beetle as if it were a precious treasure, grinning foolishly with his big teeth showing.

"Hehe, you guys continue, you guys continue." Yuanbao happily grabbed the longhorn beetle and ran off to play with Yin Zhixuan.

The banquet was held in the Huadian Hall, which is very close to the East Palace.

As Yuanbao passed by the Huadian Palace, those who had received invitations to the banquet began to arrive one after another.

He spotted the twins from his third uncle's house and quickly waved, "Shiming, Shiyue, over here!"

The twins ran over and saw that he was holding a large, shiny worm in his hand. They both showed envious looks that made Yuanbao feel satisfied.

"Wow, it's huge! Where did you catch it?"

"That's amazing!"

Yuanbao raised his face proudly and said, "The Imperial Garden."

Shi Ming and Shi Yue blinked in unison, then grabbed Yuan Bao's arms on either side, their voices in perfect sync, "Brother Chi, catch one for us too!"

"It was Brother Zhao who caught them," Yuanbao said. "This afternoon, I had him catch a whole squad of longhorn beetles for us."

Wang Zhao walked over and tapped Shi Ming and Shi Yue on the head each. "What did I tell you two before we came?"

The twins said in unison, "Don't cause trouble, don't get into trouble, listen more, observe more, and speak less."

"That's good, then." Wang Zhao was satisfied. "Very good, go have fun."

Led by Yuanbao, the three children ran to the East Palace.

When they found Yin Zhixuan, they discovered he was reading a book.

Outside, it was bustling and lively, but Yin Zhixuan remained quiet and still.

Yuanbao said, "We're already eating at the banquet, why are you still studying?"

"You're working too hard!" Yuanbao, a slacker, asked the crucial question, "Aren't you having fun?"

Yin Zhixuan closed the book. "There's still an hour before the banquet. There's nothing to do if we go early. I might as well read a book."

"Reading is so boring, come look at this longhorn beetle!" Yuanbao showed off his insect. "What do you think? Pretty, right?"

Yin Zhixuan sighed. He found it hard to appreciate the 'beauty' in those long tentacles and fierce, sharp mouthparts.

He glanced at Yuanbao's expression and realized that Yuanbao really thought so, which made his feelings even more complicated.

He managed to say with difficulty, "...Hmm."

Yuanbao reluctantly parted with it, saying, "You can play with it for a while."

Yin Zhixuan quickly refused, "No need, no need."

This cousin was so fierce that Yin Zhixuan felt like a stranger.

Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyue looked at Yin Zhixuan with expressions that said, "You don't know what you're talking about."

He doesn't even want to play with such a cool longhorn beetle! Sigh! The prince doesn't know what's good for him!

Meanwhile, Pearl and Zhao Duo were strolling in the Imperial Garden when a eunuch came to deliver a message, "Princess, the banquet is about to begin. This servant will escort you to change your clothes."

Zhao Duo squeezed Pearl's palm. "Go."

Pearl nodded. "Then go to the Hua Palace and wait for me."

"it is good."

Pearl followed the young eunuch to the waterside pavilion. After the young eunuch left, several young palace maids came over carrying brocade robes.

One of the palace maids said, "This servant is Chun Tao, to help the princess change her clothes."

Pearl was somewhat surprised. He recognized the style of the clothes and said, "Isn't this the style only for the Imperial Prince? Did you bring the wrong one?"

Chun Tao smiled and said, "Your Highness, it is indeed this set. It was even personally selected by His Majesty."

Upon hearing that it was chosen for him personally by his royal uncle, Pearl immediately put it on with great delight.

After all, my uncle had the best taste in the whole family.

As for her father… Pearl thought of the ugly, bright red and purple dresses her father had given her in her boudoir, and could only offer an awkward but polite smile.

After changing into her magnificent attire, she adorned her head with a profusion of pearls and jade, gold tassels, jadeite, precious stones, and various other gems...

Pearl let the palace servants dress her up as a handsome, refined, and wealthy young man, thinking to herself with delight that she would surely amaze Zhao Duo when they went out.

Pearl rarely dressed up so lavishly on ordinary days. Her sudden appearance in such a magnificent outfit not only amazed Zhao Duo but also her elderly father.

Yin Cheng was slightly surprised, "Is this really our family's pearl? I almost didn't recognize it."

Lin Nian was speechless. "What else can I do?"

He paused, then continued, "Our darling is naturally good-looking."

With just a touch of makeup, the young master of Miao territory can be won over so easily!

"It looks good, but..." Yin Cheng stroked his chin, "Why are those lips so red, like they've eaten a child?"

Lin Nian almost wanted to cover the man's mouth, "Shut up! If you can't compliment someone, don't force it!"

Yin Cheng looked at his darling son, his feelings quite complicated.

I still remember the first time I saw Xiao Yuanyuan's face. His chubby cheeks were fair and tender, and he spoke in a soft, gentle voice, sweetly calling me "Daddy"...

Of course, she can now sweetly call him "Daddy," but...

Yin Cheng glanced at Zhao Duo silently.

This kid had better treat Pearl well for the rest of his life, otherwise even if he died, he would crawl out of his coffin and kill this kid!

Pearl, unaware of her father's complex emotions, sat down next to Zhao Duo, her gorgeous dress trailing behind her. "Brother, do I look pretty?"

Zhao Duo praised without reservation, "It looks great."

Pearl smiled, her eyes crinkling with joy.

Yin Mo and Bai Yuchen were seated at the head of the table when Zhao Duo and Bai Yuchen's eyes met unintentionally.

Zhao Duo bowed slightly and paid his respects to Bai Yuchen.

Bai Yuchen nodded slightly in response.

Baishui City is neither too close nor too far from Wuling County.

Both the Bai and Atuna families are involved in pharmacological research and are, in some respects, related.

Although the two sides didn't have much contact, they respected each other.

Pearl's clothes today have wide sleeves, which greatly affects her appetite.

In addition, since many officials he didn't recognize had come today, he felt embarrassed to be too unrestrained and was very careful when picking up food.

Pearl tugged at Zhao Duo's sleeve, "Brother, can you get used to the food in the capital?"

Zhao Duo nodded. "Okay."

"You should try this Eight Treasure Duck, I love it!"

"And this Longjing shrimp is delicious too."

"Brother, would you like some Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? It's so delicious, especially fresh!"

"These dishes seem rather bland... Oh, brother, the spicy chicken is spicy, let me get you some!"

Pearl enthusiastically served food to Zhao Duo, looking quite virtuous.

Zhao Duo was very supportive; whenever Zhenzhu said a dish was delicious, he would always agree that it was delicious too.
