Shen Yuerong looked at the strange face in front of her, her eyes flickering slightly, and she searched around but did not see Wanjun and the Prime Minister's wife.
The woman in front of him showed a flattering smile and bowed gently towards Shen Yuerong.
"Thank you, Princess, for inviting me to the banquet."
Her etiquette was neither right nor wrong. She was not a girl from the boudoir, but she behaved like a girl from the boudoir.
Things have come to this point, Shen Yuerong has already guessed who the person in front of her is?
I'm afraid she is the concubine, Yimeng, who caused the Prime Minister's wife to fall ill.
She was wearing a bright red dress and looked quite decent.
But Shen Yuerong knew the inside story and her attitude turned cold.
"Who are you in the Prime Minister's residence? I remember that it was the Prime Minister's wife who was invited."
Yimeng didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she answered with a smile.
"Princess, please don't blame me. My sister asked me to come here. My sister is not in good health. I hope I won't make a fool of myself and offend the princess."
Shen Yuerong smiled coldly, "If you are not the Prime Minister's wife, then who are you? Why don't I remember that the Prime Minister's wife has a sister."
The corner of Yimeng's mouth twitched. She originally thought that the princess sent the invitation, but it was only for the sake of the prime minister.
Even if she came with an invitation, it probably wouldn't attract the princess's attention.
Even if it really draws attention, I can probably cover it up by just saying a few perfunctory words.
But I didn't expect Shen Yuerong to insist on holding on to this point.
She smiled and replied, "Princess, I came here at the behest of my master..."
As a result, before she could finish her words, Shen Yuerong interrupted her.
"So who are you in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Now almost everyone's eyes were focused here, and Yimeng could only answer with an awkward smile.
"I am the Prime Minister's concubine."
Shen Yuerong folded her hands in front of her, her chin slightly raised.
"I see. Your Highness is also a concubine. I never thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion would look down on my palace so much that they would actually send a lowly concubine here."
"This princess wants to find the prince and ask him what is going on."
"Qinghua, go find the prince."
Yimeng suddenly panicked and spoke quickly.
"Princess, please don't be angry. It's true that my wife is too sick to look at. Her health is deteriorating and she can't even get out of bed, let alone attend the banquet."
"I am here because of my sister's request."
Shen Yuerong sneered, her eyes sharp and cold.
She had already made an appointment with the Prime Minister's wife to attend the banquet today, but her opportunity was snatched away by this hateful concubine.
She had originally sympathized with the Prime Minister's wife's experience, and now that she saw the culprit, she felt even more indignant for her.
Such an unpresentable guy could actually harm her like this.
Perhaps thinking about some of her past experiences, Shen Yuerong felt even colder.
Chunhua had already run to call Chi Mu over, and a lot of people gathered at the gate of the mansion to watch the fun.
Concubine Xi on the side didn't dare to breathe.
What is going on? Shen Yuerong, who seemed so well-behaved and lovable before, could actually be so angry.
Did I offend her?
As soon as Concubine Xi had this thought, Shen Yuerong's faint voice came to her ears.
"Don't be offended, mother. I just hate those things that favor concubines over wives."
Hua Qiu beside her whispered to Concubine Xi: "Concubine, I'm afraid the princess is remembering some of her past experiences."
After hearing this, Concubine Xi looked at Shen Yuerong with eyes full of heartache.
She asked Hua Qiu to find out about Shen Yuerong's previous experience.
He became disabled in his legs in order to save his beloved, but the other party went out to quell a rebellion and brought back his pregnant concubine, intending to seize her dowry.
She felt uncomfortable just listening to it, let alone Shen Yuerong who had experienced it personally.
Shen Yuerong had no idea what Concubine Xi was thinking.
At this moment, she was thinking about how to get the Prime Minister's wife to attend the banquet.
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps not far away.
She looked up and saw Chi Mu coming in a sky blue gown. He had the demeanor of a gentleman as graceful as jade, which made people unable to take their eyes off him.
The moment he saw Shen Yuerong, all the hostility in his body melted away like a spring breeze.
His eyes were full of concern and tenderness for Shen Yuerong.
"Rong'er, has anyone bullied you?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head gently, placed her hand on Chi Mu's arm, and slowly turned to look at Yi Meng who was standing there.
Chi Mu followed her gaze, and the anger in his body surged up again. He coldly questioned the prime minister behind him.
"Mr. Prime Minister, only by cultivating yourself and managing your family and governing the country can you pacify the world. If you can't even manage your own family affairs, how can we trust you with the affairs of the court?"
The prime minister's face suddenly turned pale and he hurriedly bowed to apologize.
"I was confused for a moment. I will solve this matter immediately."
He took two steps forward, grabbed Yimeng's hand, and wanted to stuff her into the carriage.
But Yimeng didn't want to leave. How could she let go of such a good opportunity to get information?
So she took the prime minister's hand and acted coquettishly.
"My Lord, I just want to see the world. What have I done wrong? Do you think you should deny me completely just because of my background?"
As she spoke, she began to sob. She was already beautiful, and now when she cried her eyes looked like pear blossoms in the rain, making her look particularly lovable.
Some onlookers nearby felt sorry for Yimeng.
"The princess is just a concubine. What's the harm in letting him in?"
