"Xiao Junzi!" Chi Jue gave up and stood up unsteadily from the round stool, put one hand on his waist, and pointed his thumb at his nose with the other hand, saying arrogantly, "I am better than Bai Bai." It doesn’t matter that my grandson is several decades older. I dare say that my health is no worse than that of my grandson. I can still..."

Chi Jue's words suddenly stopped.

"What else can there be? Master, tell me?" Mu Yun was busy shaking her head to tease the red-faced old man Chi Jue.

Bai Kaiji and Chi Jue were sitting side by side. After listening to Chi Jue's words, he wanted to tease him a few words to help himself gain face, but before he could say anything, his expression suddenly changed and he stood up and said, "Auntie, you are here."

Mu Yun twitched the corners of her lips in embarrassment, turned her head with a smile, and greeted Aunt Bai, "Why are you here?"

I don't know if it was because of what Chi Jue said just now, but Bai Jue's face seemed to be stained with crimson. It was even more obvious when the orange light in the flower hall shone.

Bai Yan cleared his throat, his eyes avoiding Chi Jue's gaze, and said to Mu Yun, "My aunt is a little sleepy, Jun'er and Ji'er don't need to go over to visit her anymore. The banquet at Biezhuang is really good tonight, Jun'er Thank you for your hard work." She looked at Bai Kaiji, "Xiao Bai, we will go back to Beijing after you finish eating. I will wait for you in the carriage first."

Mu Yun quickly said: "Auntie, have you finished eating? Do you want to share some more with us?"

"I just had a lot of food with my aunt, don't worry about me." After saying that, Bai Yue ran away without looking back. Her legs and feet were much sharper than Mu Yun's, and she didn't look like an old man at all.

"Huh?" I don't know if it was because he drank too much. Chi Jue reacted slowly, reached out and grabbed it in mid-air, then sighed and put it down.

Bai Kaiji pulled the old man Chi Jue to sit down and comforted him in a low voice: "Master Chi Jue, my aunt must have known about it. You are still very good. Master Chi Jue, you still have a chance!"

Chi Jue picked up the chopsticks and knocked Bai Kaiji hard on the head, "After you finish eating, hurry up and leave. Don't let your aunt wait!"

Bai Kaiji quickly took two mouthfuls of rice, said goodbye to Gao Ningxin and left.

Chi Jue looked at Mu Yun again, "Xiao Yunzi, did you do it on purpose just now?"

Mu Yun picked up the drunk Gao Ningxin and said, "Master, please go to bed early. Good night."

She ran away too.

"Xiaoyunzi, you—" Chi absolutely roared at Muyun's back.

Mu Yun said to Chi Jue without looking back, "Master, I helped you unintentionally, don't blame me!"

Did it help him? Chi Jue's brain reaction was a little slow due to excessive drinking.

He suddenly came back to his senses, ah! No wonder Bai Hao's face was so red just now. Could it be that she ignored him before because she was worried about him not being able to do it?

Chi Jue was stunned. The depression that had accumulated in his heart for the past month was finally released. He looked up at the ceiling and roared: "Hahahahaha, so this is what she is struggling with!"

......

Xingming Palace.

Above the main hall, palace lanterns hung high and red candles swayed. The palace people were busy in an orderly manner, pouring wine and serving dishes for the nobles sitting at the banquet table.

The princes, princes, and ministers mingled with Emperor Rui and the prince, drinking glasses and exchanging cups. The atmosphere among the other concubines, the emperor's heirs, and the relatives of powerful ministers was much more lively.

However, the focus of the banquet seemed to have shifted from Emperor Rui in previous years to His Highness the Crown Prince, who was wearing a purple robe with a python pattern.

Every word, every move he made touched the hearts of everyone present.

The courtiers paid attention to him because they wanted to figure out what the all-powerful 'God of War' prince was like in private.

The princes and princesses pay attention to him because their "good second brother" is too dazzling. Their eyes are either jealous, admiring, or flattering.

The family members of the powerful ministers looked at him and showed various emotions, but most of the female family members were all sitting upright, dignified, dressed up beautifully, and from time to time they would make some pretentious little moves, trying to attract the stars. With Zhuo Lingchu's attention, of course, everything was in vain.

There was only one person in the room, and her mind was not on Zhuo Lingchu, nor on the delicious food in front of her. Her eyes flickered, she looked left and right, restless, and the words "I can't sit still" were clearly displayed on her face. Fortunately, everyone had no time to pay attention to her little transparency, otherwise Emperor Rui would have scolded her harshly when he saw her like this.

Zhuo Wan lowered her head to pick up the rice while looking at Concubine Hui's face.

Concubine Hui couldn't keep up her energy to do anything these days because of Zhuo Chengyi's incident. In the past, when she attended palace banquets, she always dressed up beautifully, striving to be the most dazzling star among the concubines in the harem. But today was different. She was wearing a dark palace dress, and her face was not in bright pink. Her whole body exuded a gloomy atmosphere. She pulled Zhuo Wan to sit in the most inconspicuous corner of the banquet, as if All the excitement at the palace banquet had nothing to do with her. But her eyes were fixed on Zhuo Lingchu, who was gathering everyone's attention, and the corners of her mouth curled into a hateful arc.

It was all because of him that her Yi'er was beaten twenty times and is still unable to stand normally. It was all because of him that she couldn't even have a meal with Yi'er on this peaceful day of the winter solstice.

Why? Why was he enjoying the infinite scenery here, while her son could only groan in pain on the bed.

The hatred kept growing in her heart, and just when she couldn't contain it, a small voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Concubine, I don't feel well, can you leave the table first?" Zhuo Wan frowned, her face not looking good.

Concubine Hui had no intention of caring about her, "Let's go, don't bother me."

Zhuo Wan, as if she had been pardoned, stood up and blessed Concubine Hui, then turned around and left.

Emperor Rui's harem did not have a queen or a queen mother, and the underage princes and princesses were in charge of their own mothers and concubines. With Concubine Hui's permission, Zhuo Wan's uneasy heart finally lifted.

However, she just took a step, turned back, and said something to Concubine Hui.

"Concubine, don't worry about my brother. He is strong and will get better soon." After saying that, Zhuo Wan turned back to a transparent person and turned around to leave.

Although Zhuo Wan's words seemed to be nothing, they still diverted Concubine Hui's attention a little, and finally she no longer allowed the hatred in her heart to grow wantonly. Otherwise, she would definitely do something stupid tonight.

Yes, although the Ye family can't point it out now, his Yi'er is still young and there is still hope for everything. It's only half a year. Yi'er will keep a low profile and bide her time, and he will definitely not let her down.
