The Glorious Feast is about to begin, and Wen Ling isn't rushing to settle scores with Ruan Mianmian anymore; she's been staying home, holding Hehe and acting silly for several days.

Interpretation: The Glorious Feast is about to be held; Wen Ling is no longer in a hurry to settle accounts with Ruan MiaoMiao, holding Hehe at home being silly for several days.

We need to keep "Glorious Feast" as is? It's an event name, not in glossary. Should we translate? It's a coined term? It's a proper noun event. According to rules, we should translate meaning unless it's a name. It's not a person name, not a place name? It's an event. Likely we should translate: "Glorious Feast". But we need to see if we should keep as is? The rule: "Keep well-known cultivation/fantasy terms (Qi, Dao, dantian, etc.) in their common English forms." For event names, we translate meaning. So "Glorious Feast" -> "Glorious Feast". However, we need to check if any glossary includes it? No. So we translate.

"holding Hehe" -> holding Hehe.

"acting silly/being foolish" means acting silly/being foolish. So "being silly".

"several days" -> several days.

Thus: The Glorious Feast is about to be held; Wen Ling is no longer in a hurry to settle accounts with Ruan MiaoMiao, holding Hehe at home being silly for several days.

Make sure to keep punctuation? We'll output as one line.

Zhao Xingtang stood up, holding her wine glass, walked around the four people playing mahjong, and feigned helplessness: "Oh, thinking that Miss Wen has no friends in Sijiucheng, I wanted to invite her to come play, but she said she was afraid of bothering certain people and refused."

Zhao Yueyang, the Zhao family's young master, is a notorious playboy in Jiǔjiǔchéng; to him, Wu Xuan's antics are mere trifles—if it weren't for the Zhao family and his sister Zhao Xingting watching over him, he'd have been locked up long ago.
