Taiyi Palace.
The curtains were half-draped, and more than a dozen exquisite dishes were placed on the imperial dining table.
Fresh and tender crab roe tofu, lotus leaf chicken wrapped in fresh lotus leaf, deep-fried golden shrimp, a few red dates garnishing the bird's nest and white fungus soup, and a pancake wrapped in crispy shredded chicken roll in the middle...
Prince Xuan sat on the right throne, next to him was Queen Xuan who wore a phoenix hairpin and looked dignified and noble. The seat on the left was empty, which was Xuan Yanyu's seat.
From the side, she is Concubine Pei, with a dress outlined in gold, upturned eyes and a majestic look between her eyebrows.
Standing next to Concubine Pei was Pei Shutong, who was wearing a pink skirt and had delicate features.
Pei Shutong stood beside Concubine Pei, blinking her eyes obediently, revealing her innocence and ignorance of the world.
"Father, Mother." After greeting King Xuan and Queen Xuan, Xuan Yanyu took Yan Yuning's hand and sat down.
Yan Yuning pursed her lips. Xuan Xixi didn't ask Concubine Pei, so should she ask?
According to Xuanzhao's rules, she should perform the rituals for both the Imperial Noble Consort and the Noble Consort.
"Shutong greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Pei Shutong bowed with a slight smile.
Even though Pei Shutong used to get close to Xuan Yanyu from time to time, Xuan Yanyu was not happy about it, but he nodded to give her face.
After all, she was a girl, so he still gave her face in front of so many maids and eunuchs. Otherwise, according to his personality, he would have ignored her directly.
Pei Shutong looked at Xuan Yanyu with burning eyes. The man lowered his eyelids and poured water for Yan Yuning skillfully. Pei Shutong automatically ignored Yan Yuning and only looked at Xuan Yanyu.
King Xuan's eyes flickered in silence. Did Miss Pei have any feelings for Yu'er? ?
"Your Highness, have you and the Crown Princess been together recently?" Pei Shutong asked softly.
Concubine Pei glanced at Pei Shutong with a reproachful look. Didn't she tell this child when she came here? Why was she so impatient?
How could you be so ignorant of the rules as to ask about the Crown Prince's private affairs in front of His Majesty and Empress Xuan?
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have been at odds recently. That is the Crown Prince's family affair. Tongtong is just a servant. How can she interfere?
The prince and Tongtong were not familiar with each other, so how could he answer her question?
Xuan Yanyu didn't say anything, and Yan Yuning naturally didn't speak either. The two seemed not to hear anything, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Pei Shutong tugged at Concubine Pei's sleeve in grievance.
Concubine Pei smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, Prince, it is Tongtong who is ignorant and has been spoiled by the Prime Minister since she was a child. After returning to the palace, I will definitely teach her a lesson."
After Concubine Pei said this, Prince Xuan didn't care about it anymore and smiled, "It's okay."
"Tongtong, why don't you thank His Majesty?" Concubine Pei said, "You should be grateful that His Majesty doesn't mind you and your aunt coming to accompany His Majesty for dinner. How can you be so ignorant of the rules and ask about the Crown Prince's affairs? Apologize to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
Pei Shutong obediently bowed to King Xuan, "Shutong thanks your majesty."
She turned her gaze to Xuan Yanyu again, and said in a soft voice, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, please forgive Shutong for being ignorant."
