The next day, when Jiang Muyu woke up, Liang Qingchen had already gone to the morning court.

As Yun Xuan was combing her hair, he said, "My Lady, there is news about the matter you asked me to pay attention to."

Jiang Muyu, who was a little drowsy at first, suddenly perked up. "Oh? How's it going?"

"Yesterday at noon, a group of people from Hangzhou entered the house."

"Was there a young woman and a little girl getting out of the carriage?"

"Exactly."

It seems that Shen Qingxi has already arrived in Beijing.

The Shen family currently does not have a house in the capital and still lives in the private residence of the prime minister's wife. Shen Ruxue is from Hangzhou, which is far away from home. For the sake of convenience, they can only provide a temporary residence for the Shen family and pick them up directly from there on the day of the wedding.

There were quite a few people who did this in the capital, but they were all common people. The powerful and wealthy mostly married daughters of famous families in the capital.

No wonder Shen Ruxue in the book was not liked by her husband's family at the beginning. It was not only because she came from a merchant family, but also because she had no support from her mother's family in Beijing.

"What's going on at the Royal Academy?" Jiang Muyu asked again.

Yun Xuan said, "I asked around and heard that there are indeed some outdoor archery classes going on recently."

She nodded, took two hairpins and gestured with her hair, then said, "Use this one."

She chose a red agate butterfly hairpin. She was going to attend a wedding today, so she had to dress festively, but she also wanted to avoid stealing the show, so she dressed modestly.

"Will the prince go today?" she asked again.

The story of the original book mainly revolves around the hero and heroine, and there is not much description of the wedding banquet, so she does not know whether Liang Qingchen was present on the day of Shen Ruxue's wedding. The highlight of these chapters is mainly the meeting of the hero and heroine, but the meeting place is not at the wedding banquet.

Yun Xuan said: "I heard from Xu Lang that he was going to go. How could the prince miss such an opportunity to ridicule the prime minister in person?"

Jiang Muyu said: "It's not good to embarrass the host at someone else's wedding banquet."

Yun Xuan said: "Don't worry, your majesty. The prince knows his limits and will make the prime minister unhappy but still happy on the outside."

Hearing this, Jiang Muyu smiled. Liang Qingchen and the male protagonist were indeed father and son, both of them were dark and vindictive.

Seeing that it was almost time, she took Tangtang out of the house.

On the way, she unexpectedly ran into Liang Qingchen who was returning from court. She was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here so early today?"

Liang Qingchen said, "The Emperor showed sympathy for the Prime Minister and said that his son is getting married today, so he asked us to leave the court early and go to his house to have a drink of wedding wine. So I immediately rushed back to change my clothes."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"good."

Jiang Muyu took Tangtang to the corridor and sat down to wait.

Not long after, Liang Qingchen came over after changing his clothes. He wore a crimson-purple cross-collared robe, a wide belt with an ivory cloud pattern around his waist, and his hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin. He held a ten-bone sandalwood folding fan in his hand, looking like a gentleman from a noble family.

Jiang Muyu was wearing a lilac cloud embroidered shirt today, with an ivory palace bell tassel belt around her waist, which was similar in color to his outfit, making the two of them look very well matched.

After leaving the palace, he got on a carriage and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Daddy, what is a marriage?" Tangtang suddenly asked, looking up.

Liang Qingchen said, "Before you were born, your mother also had her own mother and did not live with your father. Later, your father fell in love with your mother, so he took great pains to arrange a marriage through matchmaking and marriage proposals, and married your mother to the palace. That was the marriage."

Tangtang seemed to understand, and then asked: "Will Tangtang get married in the future?"

"Yes." Jiang Muyu said, "When Tangtang meets someone she loves and that person loves you too, you can get married."

"Wow-so mommy loves daddy too?"

Hearing this, they were both stunned.

Jiang Muyu subconsciously looked at Liang Qingchen, and found that he was also looking at her, so she quickly looked away and said, "That, that's natural."

Liang Qingchen raised his hand and rubbed Tangtang's little head, saying: "Tangtang, if you meet someone who truly loves you in the future, you must not let him down, otherwise you will have a miserable old age."

Jiang Muyu felt that he was implied.

After that, she didn't dare to speak anymore.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister's Mansion was not far away, and the carriage stopped soon. There was a commotion outside, with loud gongs and drums. As soon as the curtain was opened, one could see the Prime Minister's Mansion crowded with people.

Jiang Muyu got off the carriage with the help of Yun Xuan, Tangtang was held by Yun Yan, and Liang Qingchen was called away by several colleagues as soon as he got off the carriage.

Mrs. Zhong, the prime minister's wife, came forward and said, "Thank you, Princess Rui, for coming to my son's wedding banquet. It really brings honor to our entire prime minister's residence."

Jiang Muyu looked at the middle-aged noblewoman in front of her with a teasing smile, and immediately put on a professional fake smile, "Madam, you are too polite. I don't have such a big face. Today is the day of your son's wedding. No matter what, it is not my place to make your humble mansion glorious."

At this time, a young woman in pink clothes came over, took Jiang Muyu's arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhao, why don't you come in? What are you doing here?"

The visitor was Jiang Muyu's close friend Liu Cuifu, whose husband's surname was Wen.

Mrs. Zhong said, "Mrs. Wen is right. I am sorry for not entertaining you well. Please come in, please come in."

Jiang Muyu felt very uncomfortable with her holding his arm, so he pulled his arm away and said, "The hem of my dress is a bit long today, and it's not convenient for you to hold me."

"It's my fault for not noticing." Liu Cuifu stopped trying to hold her hand and just followed her closely.

At this kind of wedding banquet, men and women sat at separate tables, and Mrs. Zhong personally led them to the table for female guests.

Given Jiang Muyu's status, she naturally sat at the best seat. These seats were arranged in advance, and after she sat down, there was no seat next to her. Liu Cuifu, who came in with her, looked a little embarrassed for a moment.

Mrs. Zhong immediately said, "Madam Wen, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect you to come here with Princess Rui. The seats are arranged according to the official rank of the husband's family. Please see..."

What else did she not understand? Liu Cuifu's husband was a fourth-rank Dali Temple official. Although she was not at the bottom of the table, she was definitely not qualified to sit at the same table with Jiang Muyu, who had his own imperial decree.

Liu Cuifu stood there unhappily, not moving.

The surroundings were quiet for a moment. Seeing this scene, some people began to whisper:

"What is Mrs. Wen doing?"

"You didn't see it just now. She came in with Princess Rui, but there was no seat for her at the top table."

"Does she still think she is a daughter of the Duke's Mansion? Does she still want to be on an equal footing with Princess Rui?"

"Who would know? They were a perfect couple back then, but now that she's married, her status is so different, she must be feeling disappointed."

"But no matter how unhappy you are, you can't show it on the surface."

"Tsk tsk... Look at how Princess Rui ignored her. It's true that she is a carp that has jumped over the dragon's gate. After becoming a dragon, she no longer associates with fish."

…

Jiang Muyu heard a lot of gossip and felt as if they were not talking about him. He wanted to take out a handful of melon seeds and join in.

Unfortunately, reality does not allow her to do so.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhong was in an awkward position, Liu Cuifu looked pale but did not move. She knew that the only person missing was someone to take the step forward, and she was the only one who could break the deadlock by speaking up.

So she said, "Cui Fu, today is the wedding day of the second son of the Zhao family. I think the prime minister's wife has been very busy recently. Please forgive me if there is any inadequacy in the hospitality."

After she said so, how could Liu Cuifu dare to take advantage of Qiao again? She sat down according to Zhong's arrangement, but her face was still unhappy.

Jiang Muyu didn't want to pay attention to her, not because she was as snobbish as others said, she just felt a little disgusted.

In the original book, her good sister is a typical fence-sitter. After Liang Qingchen's accidental death, the Rui Palace was deserted, and her "close friend" avoided her like a snake. Later, when the male protagonist rose to power and the Rui Palace gradually recovered its former glory, she came close again.
