One of the older young women looked at Mrs. Guo and chuckled.

"Grandma really cares more about the younger generation as she gets older. I remember that before I got married, I also liked to sit next to her."

The one who spoke was the second daughter of the Guo family. She is now the wife of the eldest grandson of the Duke of Fengguo. At such a young age, she is already the one in charge of the household affairs of the Duke of Fengguo.

When outsiders mention this Second Miss Guo, they all praise her as the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the head of the Feng family.

He is very sensible and decent, and he manages household affairs in an orderly manner.

Xue Niang felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. After all, she was not a member of the Guo family, and it was indeed not appropriate for her to sit next to Old Madam Guo so rashly.

Instead, Mrs. Guo San heard what her daughter said and started talking with a smile.

"You are so old, and you are still jealous. Don't let your sisters lead you astray."

After saying that, he pointed at several young ladies of the Guo family around him, and they all looked at Madam Feng Shao with a chuckle.

Mrs. Guo San is her mother, so naturally she can joke around.

Madam Feng also pretended to be aggrieved and said.

"Look, it's true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Even my mother is starting to bully me."

When she spoke, everyone laughed, and Du Jingyi also had a good impression of the granddaughter-in-law of the Feng family.

She was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and married into the Duke of Fengguo's Mansion. Both her parents' family and her husband's family are top-notch families in the Daxing Dynasty. However, such a woman has a rare agility.

Even though she is already a wife, she still reveals some of her girlish innocence from time to time, and it can be seen that she is living a very comfortable life in her husband's family.

Du Jingyi couldn't help but think of Xue Niang. It would be great if she could be as free as Madam Feng Shao after she gets married to the Guo family in the future.

And this Madam Feng Shao was obviously very interested in Du Jingyi, and she said this with a smile.

"We were all curious before, what will Sixth Brother's future wife look like? Now that we have seen her, we know that Sixth Brother is indeed very lucky. Sixth Sister-in-law is very capable. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a first-class housekeeper. I will definitely go to her house someday and drink some tea from the General's Mansion, so that I can share in Sixth Sister-in-law's happiness."

Madam Feng was good at speaking, and she started by praising Du Jingyi and the General's Mansion.

Du Jingyi had never dealt with her before, but she would not refuse. After all, she liked this man at first sight, so she replied with a smile.

"It is an honor for our General's Mansion that the young lady is willing to come to our house. If you come, I will definitely make a bed to welcome you."

Both of them were good at entertaining people, so naturally they made the table lively.

Therefore, the conversation at their table never stopped. Even the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan and the wife of the Minister Li from the next table were always glancing at and staring at Gu Xiaolang.

If the opportunity wasn't wrong, I'm afraid they would have forced their way forward.

Unfortunately, since Mrs. Guo knew that Gu Xiaolang was unhappy, she naturally would not give them a chance, so there were many caring people around at the table.

Caring about Xue Niang, everyone understood that this was about forming a marriage with the Shang family, and it was not surprising.

But this concern for Gu Xiaolang made everyone a little confused. After all, they had never heard that there was a man in the Guo family who was going to get married besides Silang? Looking at Madam Feng who was also smiling happily at the table, many people had an idea, could it be from the Fengguo Mansion?

Seeing this, Lady Bo and Lady Shilang's wife, Mrs. Li, became a little anxious.

Miss Gu was already a hot commodity in the eyes of the two of them, and now it seems that she has become a hot commodity in the eyes of others as well. How can they feel at ease?

However, at a time like this, even if she was anxious, she couldn't show it, so Mrs. Bo was able to keep her composure and spoke in a low voice to her daughter-in-law, Li.

"Go back and ask Sanlang to be more restrained, otherwise I'm really afraid that he won't be able to pass the test of Madam Gu."

The lady knew what her son's situation was.

If her son could marry Gu Xiaolang and bring her home, he would be considered marrying above his station, especially since there are so many strong rivals around. If the Duke of Fengguo's Mansion really wants to interfere, their family would be in trouble.

But everything depends on human efforts. For the sake of her son's future success, she has to try her best.

There were undercurrents at the women's table, and the situation at the men's table on the other side was no less tense.

Today's East Palace annual banquet was attended mainly by royal relatives, so even if the Crown Prince was not happy, the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince would still come.

This time, it was not just them who came alone, the Fourth Prince also brought his wife with him.

The fourth prince's wife came from the Jia family, the Dingping Marquis's mansion, and was also a beautiful and intelligent woman.

She behaved very appropriately when following the Fourth Prince, and was able to resolve the situation well even when faced with some difficulties from the Crown Princess.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But her appearance made the Wei family, who were hesitant about showing goodwill to the Fourth Prince, have other thoughts.

With Wei Jialian's family background, if she entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she could only be a concubine. Moreover, if she competed with the Fourth Prince's wife or the Pingding Marquis' Mansion, she might not necessarily win.

Therefore, General Wei's eyes deepened, and when he looked at the Fourth Prince, he looked a little more sober.

But his sobriety does not mean that everyone on the field is sober. For example, Sanlang Yan, who had just been scolded by his father, Weiyuanbo, is now drinking one glass of wine after another.

His eyes were fixed like an eagle at the Prince of Yin who was beside Shang Ji, as if he was trying hard for something.

Silang Yan, who was sitting next to him, frowned and said when he saw his brother like this.

"Third brother, drink less, or father will scold you again later."

As for the Earl of Weiyuan, who was sitting next to the Crown Prince, if his eyes could turn into knives, he would have killed the Third Son of the Yan Family with the knife long ago. That expression and that action almost showed that he was disgusted to death.

After hearing this, Sanlang of the Yan family sneered and said.

"Anyway, whether I drink or not, he doesn't think I'm a capable person. Why should I put myself in such a difficult position? Fourth brother, let's drink while we can. Drink now. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

After hearing what he said, Yan Jia Silang, who had always been his little follower, stopped trying to persuade him.

Regardless of whether his father was angry or not, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his third brother.

The two brothers are already very popular among the young masters in Sui'an City, so they will definitely join in on the fun.

For a while, there were quite a few people toasting with them.

On the contrary, there were not many people coming and going at the table occupied by Shang Ji, Prince Yin, and Mr. Wen.

After all, a person with a cold heart and a frosty face cannot liven up the atmosphere even if a banished fairy like Prince Yin is present.
