One of the ministers immediately looked at the marquis next to him and offered him a glass of wine.

"My Lord, I toast you with this glass of wine. You really gave birth to such a wonderful daughter. If I could have a daughter like you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

This official was a general, and his daughter had just joined Chu Ranxin in bullying Chu Weiyue, so he was somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

The Marquis smiled awkwardly and joked with him.

The dispute between Chu Ranxin and Chu Weiyue just now was completely forgotten by everyone.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager were in charge of the overall situation, and the officials were chatting and laughing, creating a very lively atmosphere.

While enjoying the singing and dancing, the Marquis glared at Chu Ranxin with dissatisfaction, and suddenly felt a lot of disgust in his heart.

"Okay, both of you, don't stay here anymore, go to the back. Many of the women have gone to the back, it's not appropriate for you to stay here."

His status is that of a marquis, so it doesn't matter even if he has female relatives around him.

Many officials of the same status as him had their wives and children by their side. Only those with lower positions allowed their wives and children to leave first.

Generally in this situation, they would indeed bring their female relatives with them, but they would only meet the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in front to pay their respects, and they had no right to be there from beginning to end.

Chu Ranxin bit her lower lip tightly, with tears in her eyes.

Song sighed and could only leave with Chu Ranxin.

Watching their backs as they left, the Marquis sighed.

He also just realized that Chu Ranxin was becoming more and more unpresentable, and he had just embarrassed him completely.

Fortunately, Chu Weiyue redeemed himself for him, otherwise he would never be able to go out and see people with this old face, and he would never be able to hold his head up high.

"Why was I so stupid back then..."

The more he thought about it, the more he began to regret it.

If he had favored Chu Weiyue from the beginning, he would have been the only one in the court now.

…

Chu Ranxin followed his mother to the Imperial Garden and found that there was a small banquet there.

The wives of the ministers were chatting and laughing here, and some were reciting poems and composing couplets.

When they saw Song bringing Chu Ranxin, some people immediately covered their mouths and giggled.

Among them was a wealthy lady who raised her voice and spoke to the people around her.

"I don't know if you have heard the story of Dong Shi Xiou Pin. This woman was obviously an ugly girl, but she insisted on imitating a beautiful woman, which made a huge joke."

"So we humans should behave ourselves and know our own worth!"

Chu Ranxin's eyes turned red with anger, and he wanted to argue with them.

But today, Song had been looked down upon by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and she didn’t want to cause any trouble.

"Alright, don't go over there. Forget about it today. I'll definitely deal with them when I find the chance someday."

She set her eyes on the rich lady just now.

Seeing the cup in her hand, he took Chu Ranxin away quietly and went somewhere else.

A quarter of an hour later, the rich young lady suffered from unbearable abdominal pain and was carried out of the palace.

The family dinner ended quickly. Wen Jingchi was not in a hurry to see Chu Weiyue off. Instead, he took her for a walk in the palace.

They first went to the palace where Wen Jingchi had lived before.

"Before I left the palace, I lived here. Later I moved to my grandmother's house. I didn't expect that my father never let other princes live here."

There was a hint of emotion in Wen Jingchi's eyes.

The inside was still the same as when he left. Over the years, he would occasionally come to take a look, but someone was always cleaning the yard.

Chu Weiyue couldn't wait to run to the room where Wen Jingchi lived and found many beautiful clay dolls there.

“You made all this.”

Wen Jingchi's face was visibly embarrassed: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I read these things?"

Like a child who had done something wrong, he subconsciously snatched the clay doll from Chu Weiyue's hand and stuffed it under his pillow.

Chu Weiyue understood everything and giggled while covering her mouth. She would only behave in such a guilty manner if someone revealed her true thoughts.

Just give him face and don't expose him!

She rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, and took Wen Jingchi's arm openly, wishing she could hang on him completely.

When I passed by the courtyards of several concubines, they all invited me in warmly, so I went in to have a cup of tea and some snacks.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the Imperial Garden and happened to meet the Emperor.

"Come with me, I have something to discuss with you." The emperor frowned tightly, obviously it was a matter of national importance.

He was accompanied by a wounded general who looked very unfamiliar.

Chu Weiyue could vaguely feel that there might be unrest on the border.

Wen Jingchi turned around and patted Chu Weiyue on the head.

"Then you can just wander around here, but remember not to run around and wait for me in the Imperial Garden.

"Got it, go quickly."

Chu Weiyue snorted in frustration. Instead of accompanying her for a stroll, he actually made her wait here. The palace was so beautiful, she wanted to see more of it.

He raised his finger and gently scratched her nose before striding away.

After he left, Chu Weiyue sat alone in the small pavilion, eating snacks and drinking tea, admiring the beautiful flowers in the imperial garden, feeling very happy.

Suddenly, the latest gossip began to update, this time it was about the palace.

[Shu Fei has had a stomachache recently and can barely hold up her pants. She thinks that Xian Fei is playing tricks on her and plans to put chin beans in her diet to get revenge! ]

[How could the virtuous concubine have the time to care about her? She only cared about the relationship between her daughter and her husband. It was said that her husband went to the famous male brothel in the capital every day! Once, he even kept two gigolos at the same time, which almost pissed off her daughter to death! ]

[The Queen Mother has a big happy event, and she dresses up radiantly every day. It is said that the man she loved when she was young has returned! She has been trying every possible way to summon him every day recently, using the excuse of discussing state affairs. The two of them are very close...]

[The Emperor has also been worried recently. His brush keeps shedding hair when he writes. He also often secretly pulls out his gray hair and even dyes it black with ink, fearing that others will say he is old! ]

…

There were indeed countless melons in the palace. Chu Weiyue couldn't stop eating the melons and laughed out loud from time to time.

Before I knew it, I had finished a plate of snacks and my stomach was aching.

Chu Weiyue covered her stomach and made clicking sounds.

[The emperor is so funny. He actually pulled out his own hair. It's so funny...]

Chu Weiyue kept complaining about the emperor and laughing happily.

Concubine Xian happened to pass by at this time. When she heard what Chu Weiyue said, her face suddenly became extremely ugly and she strode over.

She didn't recognize Chu Weiyue. She didn't attend the banquet just now, so when she saw Chu Weiyue, she thought she was just the family member of an ordinary minister.

"How dare you openly speculate on the emperor's intentions? You really have no respect for the emperor. What crime should you be punished for?"
