The discussions at the Restaurant, all of them discussed military strategy except for Yi Lan who was just engrossed in enjoying the grapes. Bored, a guessable word from Yi Lan's current face, all because of the talk that always used the word war, "Silly pleasantries! They did not even dare to spread their strategy completely. This Northern Prince, for example, was even too meticulous in using his sentence. First, Second, and Fourth Brother were busy listening, but my Third Brother was busy trapping every sentence the Northern Prince spoke. Hah, this third brother is even in the tavern alone He is waging war. So I have to wait for the end of this boring conversation, did no one realize that there was a girl among them? Ah, just piss me off," she said inwardly as she continued to put the grapes in her mouth. Prince Li De Long who now realized that Yi Lan just continued to eat grapes regardless of the other food in front of him, immediately put away the plate of angur fruit and put the other food in front of Yi Lan. The face that had looked bored now grew irritated, Yi Lan was forced to eat other food, while continuing to glance at the grapes that were in front of Second Brother, Yi Lan was forced to eat other foods, while continuing to glance at the grapes that were in front of Second Brother, The Five Men were still seriously in the conversation while enjoying the dishes.
When it was time to return, Prince Jinlong and the Northern Prince parted ways with the others to return to the Palace, while the Third Prince and Yi Lan, returned to the Pavilion belonging to Prince ShuiLong. Bending each other and returning, the beginning of the tension soon approached.

When they arrived at the Prince Shuizion Pavilion, they again received news from the Palace, where there will be a Banquet to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Mother.
"Well, why haven't you said that since yesterday? I don't even know my mother's birthday. It's so bad," said Yi Lan who was confused about what to give to her mother.
"Sorry Princess, this plan is very sudden because Mistress Consort who proposed to the Emperor and welcomed the Northern Prince," the Palace Eunuch said.
"Alright, tell us We are coming" Prince Li De Long said.
The eunuch immediately bowed and turned around to return to the Palace.
"The concubine planned it? It seems like He is happy to do a new game, let's see what He really wants at the banquet" said Prince Long Hue, who began to be suspicious.
"It's not without reason, Mother Concubine deliberately took the opportunity, I don't even know the purpose of this celebration. It was obvious that the Emperor knew that Mother did not like the Feast, why would the Emperor so easily approve without asking Mother's permission first?" prince Li De Long.
"G ... You also know Big Brother, the Serpent is very good at taking the Emperor's heart. But whatever it is, if He harms my Sister, I will kill her in the presence of the Emperor" replied Prince Long Hue affirming.
"We see what tomorrow looks like, just guessing won't produce an answer. Whatever Mother Concubine does We still have to get into her game" Prince ShuiLong said.
"Why are you all so busy with Mother Concubine's stratagem? Did you think of what gift to Mom? Come on .. let's think about the prize first."
"Yi Lan, give this gift to Mother, Brother bought it during the streets earlier. Just a jade bracelet but it seemed like it was a perfect fit for Mother," while giving the parcel to Yi Lan.
Back Prince Li De Long continued his words, "Actually Mother does not really want a gift, if all her children present it will be a valuable gift for her."
"Well it'll be dark we'll be right back. Brother, I'll go first. See you tomorrow" said Prince Long Hue, bowing to say goodbye.
Likewise with Prince Li De Long and Yi Lan who also say goodbye.

Arriving at the Second Pangetan Pavilion, having been waiting in front of him, the Hung Lin Guards while carrying a box.
"Hung Lin, why are you here? Did Prince Jinlong leave a message?" ask Prince Li De Long
"Hung Lin resigned," he continued, bowing.
"Alright, take care of yourself."
Yi Lan immediately pulled Second Brother into the house, He was so curious about the parcels given by Fourth Brother.
"Let's get in quickly, I want to see it immediately."
"Alright, don't be like that, fix your steps."
Yi Lan immediately opened the box, from her face she looked so fond of the parcel given by her Fourth Brother.
"Gee ... I thought, I'm going to wear old clothes, it turns out that Fourth Brother has prepared for me too," while continuing to hug the typical hanfu clothes of the Palace with a soft pink silk wrap, she said, the color he likes best.
"Yi Lan, let's get some sleep. We'll leave early in the morning, if you get up late, Brother will leave you alone in the Pavilion."
"Well, Brother, you don't have to threaten me, it won't work. I even know how much you love me. Huh ... I'm truly a Princess now," as she laid her body and began to close her eyes, hoping for a beautiful dream to accompany her in each of her sleep.
Prince Li De Long only smiled hearing Yi Lan's words filled with confidence.
It was a beautiful night, countless how many stars dotted the sky back then. Memory in real never fades, dreams that come never forgotten. The warmth of the deck is like a blanket of hearts, keeping it asleep, until the sun welcomes back.
"Sister ..." His distinctive cry welcomes the morning.
"Wake up, we'll be late if you keep enjoying your bed. Aren't you looking forward to trying on the clothes Fourth Brother gave you?"
Yi Lan immediately got out of her bed, preparing herself to look neat, this time asking her Second Brother to tidy up her hair.
"Sister, can you tidy up my hair? I have to look very neat, if my makeup is like a Swordsman wouldn't .. would make Mom shy?"
"All right, sit down sweet."
After they finished preparing, they set off on a train with the National Guard who was also ready to drive the train.
The trip was quite time-consuming, occasionally changing the sitting position, Yi Lan could only imagine that he would soon arrive if he could ride, so there was no need to make a long trip like this. Yi Lan busied herself by continuing the knits she often made.
It did not feel like they had entered the Palace gate. Yi Lan stopped her knitting, and immediately prepared to go down. It was seen that Prince Jonlong who had been waiting for his brother's arrival, stood with the North Prince who also waited for the Three Princes who would be present in the celebration at the Palace.
