Since the guests attending the banquet were all concubines and ladies of high rank, there was no need to prepare their own talents and select the best items. The singing and dancing performances were all performed by professional dancers and musicians from the Imperial Music Bureau of the palace.

The melodious and plaintive tunes lingered in his ears like the sound of nature, and the graceful and graceful dances were intoxicating like fairies descending to the earth. Lu Lingxi was completely immersed in this wonderful audio-visual feast, enjoying the pleasure and satisfaction brought by this moment.

She enjoyed the wonderful performance while tasting the exquisite food on the table. Every bite made her feel extremely surprised. The delicate taste and unique flavor blossomed on the tip of her tongue, stimulating her taste buds. Gradually, she found that these delicacies were not only attractive in appearance, but also tasted excellent. She couldn't help but praise the arrangement of this banquet.

Lu Lingxi, feeling more and more relaxed, could not help but hum along with the music. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be filled with only beauty.

Lu Lingxi was enjoying herself. Suddenly, a little maid ran up to Queen Gu and whispered something in her ear. She immediately yelled in anger, "How dare you do this at a palace banquet?"

Lu Lingxi was frightened and the wine in the cup spilled out. Fortunately, it was only on her cuffs. She just needed to wipe it off without changing clothes. She was concentrating on wiping her cuffs with a handkerchief. But Queen Gu called her name: "Crown Princess, come with me."

Lu Lingxi was puzzled. Why did they call me to attend the Yanchun Palace event? They were kind enough to bring me to watch the fun?

She naturally didn't know that Queen Gu wouldn't be so kind as to bring her to watch the fun, but with so many people present, no one would refute her. She stood up immediately, but when she left, she took Concubine Shang with her. When Concubine Wang saw that they all stood up, she followed them.

Gu Yan'er also wanted to follow to see what time it was, but Concubine Guo stopped her: "Please be patient, Crown Princess. You are heavy and have difficulty moving. Going there will only distract the Crown Princess. Why don't you wait here peacefully? The Crown Princess will be fine, and she is not alone in the palace."

Gu Yan'er hesitated for a moment. Now she could only cause trouble and could not help, so she sat down, but she felt a little uneasy. She knew that her aunt and Lingxi had always been at odds with each other, and she was afraid that Lingxi would suffer again. This would make her husband and father-in-law worried.

Concubine Guo patted the back of Gu Yan'er's hand in a soothing manner, signaling her to be at ease. She also instructed: "Stay closer to me, we can take care of each other, and since we are both pregnant, we have a lot to talk about."

The rest of the people who stayed behind were talking about it: I don't know what happened, the Queen looked so bad just now, and she even called the Crown Princess. Could it be that the Crown Princess did something bad?

Someone retorted: It's impossible. I saw that the Crown Princess was sitting in her seat and couldn't move around. She couldn't do anything.

Some people think that the Crown Princess can send someone to do it.

Although these people had no idea what had happened, this did not prevent them from having a lively and cheerful discussion. They sat together, each with an expression of excitement and curiosity on their faces, chattering non-stop, as if this unknown event was full of endless charm and attraction. They sometimes whispered to each other, argued loudly, and expressed their own opinions. The lively scene was even more noisy than a market!

Gu Ying'er let them talk for a while before coming out to take charge of the situation and saying, "Don't panic, everyone. It's just a small matter. The Queen will bring the Crown Princess back after she has dealt with it."

Lu Lingxi followed Queen Gu to the more remote Changning Palace. Queen Gu turned around to look at her, and then she was also slightly frightened and frowned, "Why did you two follow us?"

Lu Lingxi immediately explained, "Concubine Shang is the manager of the Crown Prince's Mansion. My daughter-in-law and she make decisions together on all matters, big or small. Without her, my daughter-in-law is afraid that she will not be able to answer the questions asked by the Queen Mother, and make you angry again."

Concubine Wang quickly explained, "I saw that there was no one serving the Crown Princess and Concubine Shang, so I followed them and served them."

Queen Gu was upset and had many excuses, but since they were already here, one or two more people wouldn't hurt, so she didn't want to argue with them about this issue. She just said coldly, "Go in and take a look yourself!"

What was Lu Lingxi looking at in confusion? She looked at the palace door next to Queen Gu and realized that she was asking her to push the door open to see. She was curious about what had happened along the way and was quite excited to find out, so she pushed open the door of Changning Palace without hesitation.

When the palace door was opened, the first thing that caught his eye was the clothes on the ground, men's and women's clothes were tangled together. Lu Lingxi thought: How exciting is this? He raised his foot and was about to walk in to see who was inside.

Concubine Shang quickly grabbed her and stepped forward to block her view, advising her: "Your Highness, don't look at it, it's dirty!"

After saying that, he pulled Lu Lingxi and turned around, with his back to the palace, just facing Queen Gu.

Concubine Shang bowed politely and then asked, "What does the Queen mean by this? How does this matter relate to the Crown Princess? Why did you ask her to come here?"

Queen Gu did not answer, but shouted coldly: "Someone bring the people out!"

Guards filed in and caught the two dishevelled men from the inner room. They both lowered their heads and dared not look up.

Queen Gu said, "Lift up this woman's head and show it to the Crown Princess. Are you still saying that this has nothing to do with you?"

Lu Lingxi was also quite surprised when he saw the thick face of the woman: "Liangyuan Sun! You...what's wrong with you? Alas!"

Lu Lingxi not only saw Sun Liangyuan's face clearly, but also saw the ambiguous red marks on her neck and chest. He felt a little disappointed. No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't be so impatient, right? He dared to do this in the palace.

Queen Gu then said, "Crown Princess, you brought this person here. You should give me an explanation for what happened."

Lu Lingxi muttered softly, "It's true that my daughter-in-law brought this person here, but she didn't ask her to do this. Why should she give an explanation? Besides, you, the Queen Mother, insisted on summoning this person to the palace. The source of this incident is you, and it happened on your territory. Shouldn't you give your daughter-in-law an explanation?"

Queen Gu was almost upset by Lu Lingxi's words. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. "I want you to find out the whole story, the relationship between the two of them, and why they did such a shameless thing in the palace. You don't just have to explain to me, you have to explain to the Crown Prince too."

Lu Lingxi nodded, indicating that he understood: "Oh, then ask the prince to ask. In the past, he handled such matters. I don't know what kind of explanation will satisfy him."
