The entire birthday banquet lasted for two hours, or four hours.

Although it took a very short time, it actually took nearly two or three days in total, and the huge amount of manpower and material resources used was incalculable.

This was just the old lady’s birthday party. If it was the emperor’s birthday party... Qian Ruoyu couldn’t even imagine it when she thought of this.

After all, the two are not on the same level.

At this time, the old lady sat on the main seat, and Qian Ruoyu came to the gate of the palace.

Because Qian Ruoyu was going to replace Chu Mobai as the master of the palace and see off these guests.

Qian Ruoyu's response surprised all the dignitaries in the capital. Only then did they realize that there was such a virtuous wife and loving mother in the palace.

Therefore, everyone praised Qian Ruoyu before leaving.

"It is a blessing for the Prince's Mansion that Lord Ye has such a virtuous wife and loving mother!"

"That's right. I've never seen Princess Ye before, but now that I see her, she's really as famous as she is!"

"Greetings, Princess Ye. It is a blessing for the common people of the capital to have a princess like you!"

Qian Ruoyu's face beamed with joy when she heard these compliments.

Qian Ruoyu answered each question modestly, and finally sent away hundreds of guests.

The old lady sitting on the main seat watched all this with her kind expression almost revealing itself.

The old lady never imagined that the birthday banquet hosted by Qian Ruoyu not only did not have any accidents, but also received rave reviews.

The Queen Mother really was not wrong!

Therefore, as soon as Qian Ruoyu came back, the old lady grabbed Qian Ruoyu's arm immediately.

"Ayu, you've worked so hard today. Thanks to your hard work, my birthday party was so successful. This is the most successful birthday party I've seen in the past decade or so."

"It seems that such a big event requires the presence of a legal wife like you. You did a great job!"

Receiving such praise, Qian Ruoyu just spoke modestly.

"You are too kind, old lady. I should have done better."

The old lady laughed.

At this time, the old lady said.

"By the way, where are those birthday party gifts now?"

"Reporting to the old lady, if I am not mistaken, those gifts should be in Li Zhiyi's Zhiyi Pavilion now."

The old lady was stunned. How could the birthday gift be with the concubine?

This birthday gift should have been received by Qian Ruoyu, and not by the concubine.

The old lady frowned and nodded slightly, "If that's the case, let's go over now and let me see the gifts."

Qian Ruoyu immediately brought the old lady, several maids and Yan'er to Zhiyi Pavilion.

As for the things at the birthday banquet, they were naturally cleaned up by Butler Wang, Fatty Wang and others.

Yan'er was the first to walk into Zhiyi Pavilion, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Li Zhiyi and Dan'er, who were packing up the gifts.

As soon as she saw Yan'er, Li Zhiyi said very unhappily.

"Yan'er, what are you doing!"

"This is my Zhiyi Pavilion. Who allowed you in without my permission? Looks like you're going to be punished!"

But at this moment, the door was pushed open again, and Qian Ruoyu and the old lady walked in directly.

Qian Ruoyu also said so.

"What's going on? Is someone going to punish my maid?"

The old lady said it directly.

"Use family law?"

The old lady frowned.

"Family rules are the rules of a family. Only the head of a family can use them. Li Zhiyi, you just married into the palace. In such a short time, do you really think of yourself as the master of the palace?"

This concubine is really so reckless and arrogant. She wants to be the boss of the household, right?

Li Zhiyi had never expected that the old lady would appear in Zhiyi Pavilion at this time, so she was at a loss for a moment.

She quickly put down what she was holding and said respectfully with her head down.

"Ah, old lady... I... I didn't mean that... I was just... I was just surprised for a moment..."

After all, the old lady was right.

Li Zhiyi is not qualified to use family rules.

Although Li Zhiyi was a concubine, she was just a concubine after all, and was different from the principal princess.

Therefore, she had no right to use family rules.

And a look of pride appeared on Yan'er's face.

The old lady didn't pay attention to what Li Zhiyi said, but instead took Qian Ruoyu forward.

As for the maids around the old lady, only one came with her.

After entering the yard, the old lady said.

"How's it going? Didn't you say you'd come back to pack up these gifts? Now you've been back for such a long time, and you haven't packed them up yet?"

"Or are you planning to deduct some of the gift you gave to me, the old lady, so you need to come back to clean it up?"

After hearing these words suddenly, Li Zhiyi lowered her head even more quickly and kept shaking her head.

"This... Old Lady, how could I do that?"

"These are all the gifts you need on the day of authorization. They are completely yours. How could I touch them casually..."

The old lady snorted again.

"You won't move? That means you've never sorted these gifts?"

The old lady's words made Li Zhiyi lose her composure, and for a moment she couldn't utter any words of rebuttal.

Qian Ruoyu suddenly realized that the old lady's treatment of Li Zhiyi was simply a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

Just two words from the old lady were enough to render Li Zhiyi speechless, and Li Zhiyi didn't dare to refute at all.

If Li Zhiyi dared to refute anything, she would probably continue to be questioned by the old lady.

However, the status between the two is completely different. The old lady is now close to a transcendent status.

Even if the old lady entered the palace, everyone except His Majesty and the Queen Mother had to give her some respect.

Even if the current queen meets the old lady, she will speak kindly to her. After all, the old lady's status is almost transcendent, and the queen cannot be disrespectful to her.

Not to mention that Li Zhiyi was just a concubine in the palace, how could she dare to talk back to the old lady?

Besides, the old lady represents the prince. If she were to ridicule her in front of the prince, it would be even more difficult for her to be a concubine.

The old lady had no intention of continuing to pay attention to her, but instead came directly to the side of the gift.

Seeing these gifts filling the entire pavilion, the old lady simply nodded slightly.

After all, you can tell what's inside some gifts at a glance.

For example, the long box must contain ginseng, while the long round box is likely to contain gold or something like that.

Looking at these things, the old lady didn't feel anything, but then she looked at Qian Ruoyu.

"By the way, Ayu, what's your gift?"

The old lady looked expectant.
