Looking at this exquisite box, Qian Ruoyu herself felt that she liked it particularly.

And if this exquisite box is filled with such good things as the longevity elixir, then the value of the things inside is probably more than a few hundred taels of silver.

No matter what era it is, as long as someone can come up with something like this, it will definitely be regarded as a treasure by others.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu carefully packed the longevity pills and the box.

But in addition to this, Qian Ruoyu also had to prepare for this birthday banquet, so Qian Ruoyu brought Yan'er directly to Zhiyi Pavilion.

If you want to know how many guests will come this time, you have to ask Li Zhiyi on the one hand, and ask the housekeeper on the other.

When Qian Ruoyu just arrived at the door of Zhiyi Pavilion, Li Zhiyi and Dan'er were sitting in the yard. It seemed that they had received a few more gifts.

Qian Ruoyu naturally walked towards the two people without hesitation, and Yan'er followed closely behind.

When Li Zhiyi suddenly saw Qian Ruoyu coming, she was startled and quickly put away the bill in her hand.

Naturally, Qian Ruoyu noticed Li Zhiyi's action, and she wondered if Li Zhiyi was going to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu remained calm and asked in a calm manner.

"How is it, sister? How much gift money did you receive this time? How many gifts did you receive?"

Li Zhiyi's face darkened, and she spoke directly to Qian Ruoyu as if she disliked Qian Ruoyu very much.

"What are you doing here?"

Qian Ruoyu's expression was dull but she still looked calm as she spoke.

"Do I need your permission to come here? Don't forget who is the legal wife! You didn't even call me sister, are you itching to do that? Do you deserve a slap?"

Hearing Qian Ruoyu suddenly say this, Li Zhiyi quickly covered her face, fearing that she would be beaten by Qian Ruoyu again.

In terms of fighting power, Li Zhiyi is no match for Qian Ruoyu at all, and even looks weak.

Therefore, even if he was frowned by Qian Ruoyu, he had no way to take revenge. He went back and covered his face with his hands.

In the end, Li Zhiyi could only speak to Qian Ruoyu in a slightly calmer tone.

"Sister...what are you doing here? I'm accepting gifts and gifts...please don't influence me. If you influence me and something goes wrong, the old lady will hold you accountable!"

Despite such a threatening tone, Qian Ruoyu remained calm.

How could she not know why the old lady would blame herself? Especially when they met last time, the old lady had already expressed a kind of kindness to Qian Ruoyu.

If it weren't for the old lady, she would probably have been kicked out on the wedding day. Therefore, Qian Ruoyu was particularly grateful to the old lady in her heart. Otherwise, there was no way she would have given the old lady an elixir of longevity!

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu was not afraid of this threat at all and said it lightly.

"It's my business if I bother you, but don't forget what I want to do. Since I'm in charge of this birthday banquet, you have to tell me how many guests there are, right?"

Li Zhiyi was stunned.

Because Qian Ruoyu was right.

If you want to know the approximate number of guests, you can only see it from this bill.

But she didn't want to give the bill to Qian Ruoyu at all. After all, there was a large amount of gift money on the bill. She didn't want Qian Ruoyu to see this data, for fear that Qian Ruoyu would have some bad ideas.

Although she already had some bad thoughts.

Therefore, Li Zhiyi immediately hesitated, "Well...then I'll tell you, this time there are a total of..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qian Ruoyu interrupted her.

Because just counting numbers doesn't have any effect or meaning!

"What's the use of just telling me the number of people?"

Li Zhiyi was stunned again, "You...what else do you want to do? I can't show you this gift money bill casually. The prince has already told me..."

"The prince said that I am the only one who can see it. Otherwise, only Dan'er can see it, and you can't see it..."

Qian Ruoyu sneered.

Qian Ruoyu had already guessed what Li Zhiyi meant by this sentence. It was not Chu Mobai's idea at all.

Chu Mobai would never be so detailed as to tell her everything about such things throughout her life.

Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, Li Zhiyi is lying, and Qian Ruoyu is not afraid of her speaking, nor is she afraid that she will use Chu Mobai's chicken feathers as a token of authority.

Qian Ruoyu said directly.

"It seems that you really don't understand the ways of the world, sister. Do you think that every guest can sit anywhere they want after they arrive?"

"Look for yourself. Each guest has his or her own gift and position. They are all different!"

"Most of the people here are high-ranking officials. Each of them has a different rank, so the seating order is naturally different. This is the order of rank! But you probably don't understand it very well, after all, you are just a concubine!"

"Are those officials from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial Household Officials supposed to sit at the same table? If this gets out, wouldn't it be a joke? Besides, if the officials on both sides are of the same rank, whoever gives more gifts or gives more valuable gifts will naturally sit a little further forward, and there is a difference!"

Qian Ruoyu's words completely left Li Zhiyi at a loss, and she quickly looked to Dan'er beside her for help.

But Dan'er next to her shrugged helplessly. Even she didn't know what to do.

After all, everything Qian Ruoyu said made sense, and it left both of them at a loss.

"Forget it. I can't explain it to you two. At worst, I don't want it. Just remember that it's you who don't want to give it to me!"

"If anything goes wrong at the old lady's birthday banquet, the palace will be embarrassed and the royal family will lose face. Even the prince will be hanged on the pillar of shame! Then it will all be your fault!"

After saying this, Qian Ruoyu took Yan'er with him and prepared to turn around and leave.

Before Qian Ruoyu left Dan'er and Li Zhiyi, they quickly grabbed Qian Ruoyu.

After all, both Dan'er and Li Zhiyi noticed the seriousness of the matter at this time, and did not dare to delay for a moment. They grabbed Qian Ruoyu before she left.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the account book. I'll give you the account book..."

Li Zhiyi handed the account book in the box on the table to Qian Ruoyu with a helpless look on her face.

"This account book is basically a list of all the adults who want to attend the old lady's birthday banquet. Their gifts are also in it... I think they are all given to you..."
