Now it seems that Xue Zhiyi is really good at it. He won the Queen Mother's favor the first time he met her.
...She actually underestimated Xue Zhiyi!
Seeing Xue Zhiyi making the Queen Mother laugh, Ge Yuanhui laughed along, but quietly twisted her handkerchief under her sleeve: She couldn't lose her composure, she was Ge Yuanhui, how could she lose to such a woman!
At this moment, another announcement was heard: "Marquis Lin'an has arrived!"
Huo Wuyou? Why would he come to such a banquet for ladies?
Even though she was thinking this, she still stood up and bowed with the other ladies: "Greetings, Marquis Lin'an."
Huo Wuyou was still wearing a red round-necked robe embroidered with gold cloud patterns. His hair was combed high with a ribbon and hung loosely behind his head.
The corners of his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and there was a smile on the corners of his lips, and he looked particularly bright.
Although Huo Wuyou usually only knew how to have fun, he was born with a breathtakingly handsome face, so he was so romantic that all the ladies couldn't help but stare at him.

Huo Wuyou just knocked Huo Zhiyu on the head and said, "I see that Grandmother rarely leaves the palace, so I rushed to pay my respects to her and make her happy, didn't I?"
Huo Zhiyu covered her head and snorted softly, then pulled Xue Zhiyi, who had just finished the ceremony, to sit down: "Sister Zhiyi, please sit down. Don't be too polite to him. He doesn't deserve it."
At this moment, in the crowd, Shen Qingtang couldn't help but cover his chest as he looked at the person chatting and laughing beside the Queen Mother.
The sound of her heartbeat in her chest made her dizzy.
She had thought that after a fleeting encounter that day, she would never see her benefactor again, but she had never expected that he was actually the Marquis of Lin'an, Huo Wuyou...
