Chapter 49: Three-Year-Old Banquet

Sure enough, on the day of the banquet, Song Yurou and the others became a little bit of the center of attention.

Especially Song Yurou, because she was already at the age to get married, many ladies looked at her and asked her privately who she was.

The wife of Pingyuan Hou also saw Song Yurou, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Some time ago, the prince had told the wife of Pingyuan Hou that as soon as Song Yuqing died, he would marry Song Yurou as his second wife.

Upon hearing this, the wife of Pingyuan Hou immediately jumped out and said she disagreed, because of Song Yuqing. She had no good feelings towards the daughters of the Song family at all. She had finally gotten rid of Song Yuqing, but then Song Yurou came along. Naturally, she was unwilling.

What's more, regardless of family background, status or other factors, even if Liang Boyan marries a second wife, there are still many prominent families who would marry their daughters into the family.

With his current conditions, he still has the right to choose better.

But Liang Boyan actually wanted to marry a concubine's daughter as his second wife. How could Lady Pingyuan Hou accept this?

Therefore, during this period, the wife of Pingyuan Hou often rolled her eyes at Song Yuqing, but Song Yuqing pretended not to see it.

She's going to die soon anyway, so it doesn't matter if I look at her a few more times.

The wife of the Marquis of Pingyuan tried to persuade her again and again, but Liang Boyan was determined that Song Yurou would never give in, which made the wife of the Marquis of Pingyuan very angry.

So when Song Yurou came to the banquet this time, she wanted to see what charm this person had that could have fascinated her son to that extent.

Now it seemed that there was really nothing wrong with the wife of Pingyuan Marquis. She was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but suddenly she heard a response from outside, saying that the concubine of Prince Shun had arrived.

Upon hearing that Song Yuyan was coming, the wife of Pingyuan Hou immediately stood up to greet her, and forgot to make things difficult for Song Yurou.

When Song Yuyan arrived, many ladies stood up and saluted her. Only a few who had imperial edicts did not stand up, or just nodded in greeting.

"I didn't expect that the concubine would come to Hao'er's birthday party." The wife of Pingyuan Hou said a little flattered, and at the same time she was a little surprised in her heart.

I didn't expect that Princess Shun would agree to let Song Yuyan leave the house. It seems that the rumors outside are true. Song Yuyan is very much loved by Prince Shun.

Song Yuyan smiled slightly and said, "I am Hao'er's aunt, how could I not come to his birthday party?

Where's Brother Hao? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I missed him, so I brought him a gift.

"The prince has carried him to the front yard. I'll have someone go and bring him back."

Song Yuyan came over hand in hand with the wife of Pingyuan Marquis, talking to her, and then went to pay her respects to the old lady and Xu.

Song Yuning and the others were very happy to see Song Yuyan coming. They greeted Song Yuyan and called her "Fifth Sister".

Song Yuyan came here this time with the intention of building momentum for her three younger sisters. After talking to the elders, she pulled the three of them aside, and the sisters started talking affectionately.

When the wife of Marquis Pingyuan saw this scene, she looked at Song Yurou, who was very well-mannered and well-mannered. Her eyes flashed and she said nothing.

After waiting for a while, Song Yuwan also arrived, and the five sisters finally got together.

As they were talking, two maids brought Hao Ge'er over. Hao Ge'er looked around at everyone and then saw Song Yurou. His eyes lit up and he was about to get out of the maid's arms.

As soon as the nanny bent down to put it on the ground, Hao Ge'er called out "Auntie" loudly and hugged Song Yurou's legs.

Song Yurou looked down and saw Brother Hao smiling at her. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She bent down and hugged him in her arms.

I don’t know if it’s because of the borrowed child, but Hao Ge’er is really close to and dependent on Song Yurou. After just a few meetings, their relationship is getting better and better.

Song Yurou also felt that Hao Ge'er was kind and he really liked her.

Hao Ge'er was held in Song Yurou's arms, and he immediately put his face against Song Yurou's face, rubbing it again and again.

Seeing his little appearance, Song Yuyan's eyes lit up. She raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen, with a loving smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Hao'er, are you only going to let Seventh Aunt hold you? Fifth Aunt, Sixth Aunt, and Ninth Aunt are all here. Don't you want other aunts to hold you?"

Seeing her like this, Song Yuwan had to tease him, and Song Yuyan actually reached out to hug Haoge'er, but Haoge'er's little hands tightly hugged Song Yurou's neck and refused to let go.

"No, Hao Ge'er just wants to be held by Aunt Seven."

Seeing Hao Ge'er's face wrinkled into a ball, everyone laughed.

The old lady saw this scene and smiled, but Xu felt a little uncomfortable, with tears in her eyes.

It is so lively today, but Haoger's biological mother, her own daughter, is still lying in bed and can't get up, but no one cares about her.

Even Haoger, her own son, never asked where his mother was. How could this not make Xu sad?

The wife of Marquis Pingyuan was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that Hao Ge'er liked Song Yurou so much. From the looks of it, the two of them were like real mother and son.

Song Yurou held Hao Ge'er for a while, fed him some cakes and water, helped him tidy up his clothes, and then let him go.

However, Hao Ge'er still followed Song Yurou closely, and Lady Pingyuan Hou quickly asked the nanny to carry him to the front yard.

After talking for a while, the banquet finally started. Song Yuning ate a little, but then he didn't have much appetite anymore and just sat in his seat listening to others talk.

Just at this moment, a little maid accidentally tugged at Song Yuning's sleeve. She looked back and saw the maid winking at her.

Song Yuning was stunned at first, but soon he had an idea in his mind. He told Song Yurou and Song Yuyao that he was going out for some fresh air, and then left with the maid.

The two of them walked around the flower hall and came behind a rockery. Sure enough, Song Yuning saw Xiao Yunzhan who had been standing there waiting for him.

Song Yuning laughed and teased, "Could this little maid be someone you planted in Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion? Otherwise, how could she find me by such a coincidence?"

If that's true, you really have spies everywhere."

Xiao Yunzhan strode over with a slight smile on his face. Song Yuning was stunned for a moment.

After not seeing him for a few days, Xiao Yunzhan really looked more handsome. He had a tall figure and wore a sky-blue brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist, which made him look more upright.

The face was like a sculpture with distinct features, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. The narrow and long phoenix eyes were now holding a warm smile. The nose bridge was high and the thin lips were slightly raised. He looked naturally noble.

This was the first time Song Yuning saw Xiao Yunzhan dressed so elegantly. In the previous few times, he deliberately concealed his identity, so he did not dress like this.

Now wearing the gorgeous robe, Song Yuning really has a different feeling.
