While everyone was still wandering around, servants from the Xue Mansion came over to inform everyone that the banquet was about to begin and led everyone to a banquet hall.

At the banquet, Xue Changling, the head of the Xue family, stood in the main seat in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by his wife and two children, warmly inviting everyone to take a seat.

Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan sat together and always felt that Xue Changling looked extraordinary.

Sure enough, in the following conversation, Xue Changling mentioned his industries in Beijing intentionally or unintentionally. At first, no one thought it was a big deal, but the more he talked, the more shocking it became.

It turns out that the largest money house in Beijing belongs to the Xue family. Not only that, the Xue family also has countless businesses in Beijing, including clothing stores, silver shops, restaurants...

Some ministers who had looked down on the Xue family before were now slapped in the face. This was not the Xue family at all, this was clearly a mountain of gold and silver!

Many ministers began to curry favor with the Xue family, trying to make a fortune by taking advantage of the Xue family's influence. After all, no one would complain about having too much money, and officials were no exception.

What's worse, some of them set their sights on the Xue family's two children. Some of the sons wanted to marry the Xue family's daughter, while some of the daughters wanted to join the Xue family.

At this moment, Xue Cailian, who everyone wanted to marry, seemed to be lacking interest.

She didn't want to attend this boring banquet, but her father insisted on making her angry, and her mother also tried to persuade her that she was old enough and it was time for her to be married off.

But the men present were either fat and bloated or old enough to be her father. Who could she marry?

Just as she was thinking about it, a dark figure came into her sight. Xue Cailian suddenly became alert and stared at the man.

She saw that the man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, was extremely handsome, and his every move showed dignity. Wasn't he the man she had always dreamed of marrying?

Xue Cailian immediately took notice of this man, but she also did not miss the woman sitting next to him.

"Who's sitting over there?" Xue Cailian pointed at the man she liked and asked the people around her.

The person next to him looked in the direction Xue Cailian pointed and whispered back, "That man is the current Night King. He holds great power and is not someone you want to mess with."

Xue Cailian secretly repeated the Night King's name in her heart, and couldn't help feeling a little happy. Only such a noble status could be worthy of her.

"Who is the woman next to him?"

The people around him curled their lips and said with disdain: "This person is the Night King's concubine Lu Yanluo. I tell you, this person is incredible. She has great means. She never let the Night King take a concubine. She has captured the Night King's heart tightly. It can be seen that she is a reincarnated foxy woman!"

This man was also a gossip, and he told Xue Cailian about the story about Princess Ye's jealousy that was widely circulated in the capital.

The more Xue Cailian listened, the more she disliked Lu Yanluo, especially when Chu Xuan lowered his head and spoke to Lu Yanluo with a gentle expression, her dislike reached its peak.

Xue Cailian stood up, walked slowly to Chu Xuan's side, and raised the wine cup in her hand: "Your Highness, the Night King, I am Xue Cailian, and I have long heard of your great reputation."

Chu Xuan picked up the wine cup and gestured without saying anything more.

But Xue Cailian didn't just come here to toast with this glass of wine. She stared at Chu Xuan and said bluntly, "My daughter Su Wen asked His Highness Ye Wang how heroic he was. Seeing him today, I found that his reputation is well-deserved and makes me admire him."

Lu Yanluo was sitting next to Chu Xuan, but Xue Cailian seemed not to see Lu Yanluo at all and was only looking at Chu Xuan.

[Humph, you are here to attract attention again. Your Highness is truly charming and unforgettable. ]

Chu Xuan tilted his head to look at Lu Yanluo, picked up a piece of fish and put it in the bowl, picked out the bones before passing it to Lu Yanluo, and said softly: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat fish? Eat it quickly."

Seeing this, Xue Cailian was not annoyed by Chu Xuan's neglect. Instead, she smiled and said, "I heard before that there is a beautiful princess in the Ye Palace. It seems that the rumors are true. The princess is indeed beautiful. No wonder there has never been a concubine in the palace."

Xue Cailian's words made people think a lot. It was previously rumored in the capital that Princess Ye was very resourceful and prevented Prince Ye from taking concubines. It seemed that she relied on this face.

Chu Xuan was already a little annoyed when he heard this, but he was concerned about the Xue family and did not get angry. Unexpectedly, Xue Cailian had no idea what it meant to quit while she was ahead.

In front of Lu Yanluo, she said, "But the Night Prince is of noble status, and he should have people serving him. How can he only have one principal wife? The princess is a little too overbearing. People in the folk say that there are seven grounds for divorce, one of which is jealousy. Even the principal wives in our folk don't dare to be so fierce as to stop their husbands from taking concubines. The princess's behavior is really inappropriate."

"Miss Xue, you are wrong." Chu Xuan finally raised his head and looked at Xue Cailian, but his tone was a little stiff: "It is enough for this king to have only one princess in this life. I have no plans to take a concubine. And Miss Xue, please don't talk nonsense about my family affairs."

Chu Xuan's words were calm, but contained an obvious warning.

Without waiting for Xue Cailian's reaction, Chu Han, who always likes to watch the fun, said, "Brother, you are wrong. As a prince, you are not afraid of being ridiculed by others for saying this. She is just a woman. There are all kinds of women in this world. Why do you have to be like this, brother?"

His words were full of disparagement of Lu Yanluo.

A cold light flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes, which made Chu Han tremble with fear.

"Your Highness Prince Liang is absolutely right. It has always been the case that men have three wives and four concubines. It is not right for women to interfere. It is really outrageous!"

The more people talked, the more outrageous they became, and most of them looked down on Lu Yanluo for being jealous.

"Your Highness Prince Liang, have you been having trouble sleeping at night recently, and are easily awakened when you fall asleep?" Lu Yanluo suddenly spoke, but what she said was not a counterattack. She then looked at the person who spoke.

"Does this gentleman feel weak, sweating, and shortness of breath recently? Also, does this gentleman often feel numbness in his hands and feet..."

Several of them came one after another, undoubtedly the ones who had just urged Chu Xuan to take a concubine. Lu Yanluo told them about their stubborn problems, which immediately made them look at them differently.

"The princess is also proficient in medicine? That's incredible! I wonder if the illnesses we are suffering from can be cured?"

Lu Yanluo smiled and tried to keep it a secret: "It can be cured, but am I a girl of my generation qualified to treat you all?"

These words were like a slap in the face. It was their fault for being so arrogant just now and saying things that looked down on women.

Several people were so ashamed that they were speechless.

Xue Changling watched from the side and exclaimed: "Doctors have always emphasized observation, listening, questioning and palpation. The princess's medical skills are truly amazing."

Hearing her father praising Lu Yanluo, Xue Cailian curled her lips in extreme dissatisfaction and became more and more jealous.

Lu Yanluo was just pretending to attract people. Xue Cailian didn't believe that Lu Yanluo really knew any medical skills.

Several concubines from ministers' families were originally surrounding Xue Cailian. When they saw Xue Cailian's unhappy expression, they immediately understood what was going on.

"This Lu Yanluo is really good at showing off. Is she afraid that people don't know that she has medical skills?"

In order to please Xue Cailian, the concubines deliberately spoke ill of Lu Yanluo in front of her.
