At this time, Li Zhiyi hid in the corner.

In her hand was a list, which was exactly the list that Butler Wang had been looking for everywhere.

She said sinisterly.

"I have the list in my hands. I'll see how you're going to greet the guests when the time comes!"

After all, this is the old lady's birthday banquet, which is a big event, so the person standing at the door to welcome guests cannot be Butler Wang.

Butler Wang is not yet qualified to receive guests at such a big event.

Therefore, the only ones who are qualified to welcome guests are Chu Mobai and Qian Ruoyu.

But at this time Chu Mobai was still in the military camp, nervously preparing for war, so the only one who was qualified to come to the door to greet guests was Qian Ruoyu.

When welcoming guests, you have to have an impression of all the guests who come. Otherwise, if you fail to call out the guests’ names, something bad is bound to happen!

But what Li Zhiyi didn't know was that Qian Ruoyu had already closed his eyes, trying hard to recall all the people he had met in his mind.

Then hundreds of characters suddenly appeared in Qian Ruoyu's mind, and Qian Ruoyu tried his best to remember their faces, their names, official positions, etc.

After all, these characters might appear soon, so Qian Ruoyu had to remember all their information.

And time is running out. In less than an incense stick of time, guests will probably start to arrive one after another.

At this moment, Butler Wang said anxiously.

"My lady, a guest is here!"

Just when Butler Wang was getting anxious, Qian Ruoyu slowly opened her eyes.

"nailed it."

She memorized most of the faces she had seen, but the butler Wang beside her knew nothing about it.

Then a middle-aged couple got off the carriage.

As soon as she saw the middle-aged couple, Qian Ruoyu immediately walked forward with the housekeeper Wang beside her, while Yan'er could only stand at the edge of the door.

"Master Wang from the Dali Temple! Madam Wang!"

When Qian Ruoyu said this first, the two middle-aged men who had just got off the carriage immediately returned the greeting to Qian Ruoyu.

"Meet Princess Ye!"

They both said these words respectfully at the same time.

Then the two men each took out a red envelope, and the servants behind them also held several boxes of gifts.

"Today is the old lady's birthday banquet, a happy day. My husband and I have come to pay our respects and offer a small gift as a token of our appreciation!"

Qian Ruoyu naturally didn't show any courtesy on such occasions. After all, it was the old lady's birthday party and she couldn't be polite.

Therefore Qian Ruoyu also spoke politely.

"Haha, you two are so thoughtful! Please come in!"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, the two of them declined each other for a while before walking into the palace under the guidance of Butler Wang.

Yan'er and the maid beside her quickly accepted the gifts.

First guest, welcome to success!

Li Zhiyi, who was hiding in the corner, was so angry after seeing this scene that she threw the list in her hand to the ground and stomped on it several times.

I never expected that Qian Ruoyu could actually remember the guests' names.

It really made her angry!

When Dan'er saw this, he quickly grabbed Li Zhiyi.

And helped Li Zhiyi pick up the list on the ground.

"My lady, now is not the time to be anxious!"

"And we have to put the list away quickly. If they find it, we will be in trouble."

After hearing these words, Li Zhiyi nodded immediately and followed Dan'er out of the side door.

Qian Ruoyu then began to receive every guest who came.

During the next half hour, Qian Ruoyu rode on horseback to greet dozens of pairs of guests.

Some came together as couples, some came alone, and some came with the help of their elderly family members.

After all, it was the old lady’s birthday party, so naturally no one dared to neglect it.

Therefore, almost all the civil and military officials in the court came to the palace, and in addition, important figures in the entire capital would also come, not to mention the princes and nobles.

As more and more guests came, Qian Ruoyu became more and more familiar with them, and the task of receiving them and seated them was handed over to Butler Wang.

After all, Qian Ruoyu had already revealed their official positions and identities when everyone arrived, so Butler Wang, who was familiar with all of this, immediately took everyone to their corresponding seats.

Princes and nobles could naturally sit in the most central hall, which was specially prepared for them.

The remaining positions are arranged according to their status in the court and the capital.

As for the others, they can only sit on the corridor.

After all, even if it is the old lady’s birthday banquet, the decision must be made based on the rank.

Butler Wang, who was standing by, was extremely shocked.

He never thought that Qian Ruoyu could receive so many guests so smoothly, and almost never got any of the guests' names wrong, and even stated their identities clearly.

He never imagined that Qian Ruoyu, the newly arrived princess, was even more important than Li Zhiyi's two car fare, and Li Zhiyi had no idea where she was now.

Long before the old lady's birthday banquet was about to begin, Butler Wang had already asked Concubine Li Zhiyi for help.

Because Butler Wang was afraid that something unexpected might happen when receiving the guests this time, he thought of asking Li Zhiyi to come and help with the reception. At least Li Zhiyi could help if Qian Ruoyu encountered any accident.

After all, Li Zhiyi has been married into the palace for some time, so she at least knows the situation.

Even if any accidents occur, Li Zhiyi can help a little.

But now, Li Zhiyi has disappeared completely, and everything has been left to Qian Ruoyu to arrange, and it went smoothly.

All this made Butler Wang feel extremely shocked, but he was also happy in his heart. After all, he could fully welcome the smooth outcome of all this.

After welcoming so many guests, Qian Ruoyu finally clapped her hands and asked Fatty Wang to prepare to serve the dishes.

Although the formal birthday banquet had not yet begun, Qian Ruoyu gave the order.

"Prepare some dishes. Don't let our guests wait too anxiously. Let them have some delicious cold dishes."

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Fatty Wang nodded immediately, then trotted over, and brought over more than twenty maids to deliver the cold dishes.

After all, they were just some appetizers, and before this, these people had never thought that there would be appetizers before the meal.

The appetizers were just some simple cold dishes, peanuts, etc.

But because it came from the hands of the master chefs of the Grand Red House, the guests all expressed surprise after taking just one bite.
