After listening to Li Shinian's explanation, Li Muyang finally understood what kind of existence the Still water dew was.
Li Muyang looked at Li Shinian, who had a worried look on his face. "Since they sent you an invitation, you should go and have a look. If you are going to live in Tiandu for a long time, you should go and make more friends. In this way, when I go to Starry Sky Academy, you won't be bored alone. "
"But why would they invite me?" Li Shinian had a puzzled expression on his face. "They invited the young masters or princesses of the aristocratic families — — I heard that even the Second Prince of the Empire, Chu Jiang, will participate in this gathering. Why would they invite me? I don't know anything. "
Li Muyang received the invitation and examined it, before he said with a smile, "The person who sent the invitation is Song Tao. Perhaps it was because of the last trip to Thousand Buddha Temple that he had a good impression of you, so he invited you to participate in this gathering."
Li Shinian blinked. "There is another possibility."
"What?"
"In order to please Sister Xiaoxin, he also invited her best friend along the way. It is said that sister Xiaoxin is a frequent visitor to the gathering. If I put in a few good words for him in front of sister Xiaoxin, he will certainly be grateful, right? "Li Shinian said with a grin.
"Of course you won't do that, right?" Li Muyang said aloud. He had boundless confidence in his sister. Even if the whole world betrayed him, she would still stand on his side.
"Humph, that's not necessarily true. It depends on someone's performance. "Li Shinian said in a tsundere tone. She stretched out her fair and tender hand. "Come, help me appreciate the plum blossoms."
"Yes." Li Muyang stepped forward, supporting Li Shinian's little hand, and the brother and sister walked towards the plum garden.
After a while, Cui Xiaoxin's personal maid Liulu came. Liulu said that Miss Shinian was invited to participate in the Still water dew gathering, so Miss will come to pick Miss Shinian up.
Li Shinian thanked him and personally sent Liulu out of the back door of the Lu residence.
"Sister Xiaoxin, I just received the invitation. How did Sister Xiaoxin know about this?" Li Shinian held Liulu's hand and asked with a smile.
"When Third young master sent someone to deliver the name card to Miss, he mentioned that Miss Shinian will also attend the gathering tonight. I hope our Miss will not be absent. "Liulu did not suspect anything and had a good impression of Li Shinian so she honestly replied.
"I see." Li Shinian nodded and said. "Thank you, Sister Little Green."
"Miss Shinian is too polite." Liulu smiled and bowed. "Our Miss will come to pick up Miss Shinian, don't forget."
"I won't. I'll wait for Sister Xiaoxin at home. "Li Shinian nodded.
It was only after Liulu's carriage had gone far away that Li Shinian returned to the courtyard with a frown.
"What's the matter?" Li Muyang put down the brush in his hand and asked aloud. Li Shinian had long heard the legendary story of Li Muyang writing a courtyard full of peach blossoms when he was in Starry Sky Academy, so when the two of them were admiring the plum blossoms in the courtyard, he insisted that Gu Muyang paint a painting of admiring the plum blossoms in the snow. Li Muyang did not know how to refuse his baby sister's request, and had no choice but to start painting at her mercy.
"I always feel something is wrong." Li Shinian said.
"Counter soldiers with arms, flood with earth." Li Muyang said with a smile. "If you are really worried, then don't refuse, right?"
Li Shinian gave a wry smile. "Brother, do you believe it or not? If I refuse the invitation of the Song family's Still water dew gathering, tomorrow all the young masters of Tiandu will see me as an enemy — — What they can't get, I will refuse. They will not resent why the Song family's Third young master did not invite them, but they will curse me, the servant's daughter, for not knowing how to appreciate kindness. "
Li Muyang gently sighed.
From Li Shinian's words, he heard some things that his family had not told him.
Li Shinian was famous in Tiandu as a servant's daughter, she must have suffered countless ridicule and censure, right?
Servant's daughter — — this was not something that Li Shinian would say. He must have been scolded too many times, so he just blurted it out.
Although in his heart, Li Shinian was intelligent, well-behaved, sensible, talented and good-looking, but her family background was still a big problem. In this hierarchical Empire, in this Imperial Capital where there were as many aristocrats and powerful families as the hairs on a cow, Li Shinian, as a commoner, had obtained the reputation of the 'Fourth Bright Moon' of the Empire. The attacks and slander she had suffered could be imagined.
Li Muyang's heart was filled with tenderness, looking at his sister with infinite pity. "Li Shinian is the best Li Shinian in the Empire, and Li Shinian is also the best sister in the entire divine continent. You are not the Fourth Bright Moon of the Empire, you are the sun in my heart. The only sun. "
Li Shinian looked at Li Muyang with a surprised expression. "Brother, how come your words of love are so smooth? Starry Sky Academy also teaches this? "
"— —"
Li Shinian stepped forward and hugged Li Muyang's arm, leaning her little head on his shoulder. "Brother, I'm fine. What's a little grievance? They scolded me to my face, so I fought back. I'm not afraid of them. They scolded me behind my back, but I don't listen — — As long as Father and Mother are healthy, as long as you come back safe and sound, our family can still live happily like when we were in Jiangnan. There is no hardship that cannot be overcome. Filthy words, like the wind caressing my face, can't cut off a piece of my flesh, right? "
Li Muyang nodded seriously. "Yes. It will get better and better in the future. "
"I don't want to get better and better." Li Shinian shook her head. "I want to be like this — — just right."
"Good." Li Muyang smiled and nodded. "Then we want just right."
Li Shinian looked at the 'Winter plum blossoms bloom proudly in snow' painted by Li Muyang on the easel in the snow, saying: "It's really good. I'm going to put this painting away and give it to sister Xiaoxin. "
"That's not good, is it?" Li Muyang said with some worry. His painting skills had already reached a high level, if Cui Xiaoxin saw some clues, wouldn't that make her doubt his identity?
"Brother, don't worry." Li Shinian said with a smile. "I know what I'm doing."
Li Muyang smiled and shook his head. "I know you're the smartest."

After dinner, Li Muyang and Li Shinian each took a bath and changed their clothes.
Li Shinian put on a gorgeous dress, and put on the Fire Fox cloak that Gongsun Yu gave him this morning. The white dress with the red cloak was as beautiful as a blooming begonia.
Li Muyang was more miserable. He put on the Lu mansion's coachman outfit, put on the mask that Hong Xiu helped make, and pretended to be the sick coachman from the last trip.
Li Shinian was going to participate in the Still water dew gathering, and Li Muyang, as his brother, naturally had to accompany him.
Of course, as a coachman.
Before it was five o 'clock, Cui Xiaoxin's luxury carriage arrived at the back door of the Lu mansion on time.
Cui Xiaoxin's carriage was light and simple, but the coachman was Ning Xinhai.
Since the attack on Thousand Buddha Temple, the Cui family once again attached importance to the safety of Cui Xiaoxin, and put Ning Xinfo, a top master, at Cui Xiaoxin's side to protect her.
Li Muyang was a little afraid of Ning Xinhai, because they had been in contact before, and was always worried that this person could see through his identity.
Fortunately, when he saw Li Muyang, his face was expressionless, and he just swept a cold glance at him before turning his eyes away.
Cui Xiaoxin lifted the curtain, waved to Li Shinian and shouted, "Shinian, come sit in my carriage."
Li Shinian smiled and refused, "Sister Xiaoxin, I'd better take the carriage myself. So that I don't have to trouble you to send me back. "
While speaking, Li Muyang had dutifully driven out the Lu mansion's coachman.
Li Shinian jumped into his family's carriage, smiled and said to Cui Xiaoxin, "Sister Xiaoxin, my coachman doesn't know the way, I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."
Cui Xiaoxin nodded. "Okay, let's talk at the gathering."
Cui Xiaoxin lowered the curtain, and Ning Xinhai drove the carriage to Westwind University, where the Still water dew gathering was held.
Li Muyang did not say a word, driving the carriage to keep up.
The carriage drove for half an hour, and stopped in front of a stone tablet.
The stone tablet was engraved with four classical characters: Westwind University.
Li Muyang looked up at the stone tablet, at the four simple and thick characters, with an indescribable emotion in his heart.
This was the university that he had been dreaming of for a long time, the beautiful future where he and Cui Xiaoxin could hold hands and watch the sunset.
Unfortunately, he did not come to Westwind University, and also lost contact with Cui Xiaoxin.
What he did not expect was that so many things had happened later, pushing him and the entire Cui family to the opposite side, and also pushing him and Cui Xiaoxin into such an awkward situation.
Cui Xiaoxin was also looking at the stone tablet of Westwind University. Every time she came here, she would stop for a moment and look up.
She did not know the reason, perhaps it was just a touch of jealousy in her heart, an extremely hidden but difficult to eliminate feeling.
"Let's go." Cui Xiaoxin said softly.
Ning Xinhai shook the reins of the horse, and the carriage rumbled along the stone path towards the school.
Li Muyang also drove the carriage to keep up, looking curiously at the strange and yet familiar school. It was like a student who had graduated from this school and was revisiting the old place ten years later.
The carriage stopped at the door of a small building by the lake. Ning Xinhai drove the carriage to the side of the boulevard, where a servant came to take care of the horse.
Li Muyang also drove the carriage over, but no one came to take the reins from his hands.
Li Muyang looked around, shouting to the several servants in the distance, "Brother, please take care of our carriage."
The several servants glanced at Li Muyang, and then burst into laughter.
"Is this person crazy? He actually wants us to help him take care of the carriage — — "
"He must be crazy, otherwise why would he make such a rude request?"
"He is a cart driver, but he wants us to help him take care of the carriage, what's the meaning of this?"
