Tonight, Zhao Yefan was wearing a wide robe with large cuffs. The robe was printed with exquisite fish and animal patterns and the cuffs were inlaid with delicate golden patterns, showing his nobleness.

He was the eldest son of a duke and the owner of Shuyu Tower. He was handsome, rich, and his family was powerful. Naturally, a small number of noble ladies flocked to him.

At this time, Su Yi sat down to Su Muxue's left.

"Are you so bold as to make our Sixth Princess of Dongyue so angry?"

Then he straightened up, glanced at Mu Jin past Su Muxue and said jokingly: "Is it my sister-in-law?"

Su Muxue turned to look at Su Yi with an unhappy face and said, "Fifth brother, don't pay attention to Zhao Yefan anymore. He is ugly and has no manners, but he accepts everyone who comes to him. If you follow him, you will be led astray."

Su Yi looked up at Zhao Yefan who was surrounded by a group of noble ladies, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "That won't work."

Su Muxue was furious: "You! Then I won't pay any attention to you either, and Ajin is not allowed to pay any attention to Fifth Brother and Zhao Yefanas."

Knowing that the two siblings were just bickering, Mu Jin didn't take it seriously. However, she thought that she seemed to have ignored Su Yi, so she cooperated with Su Muxue and nodded.

Su Yuntian, who was sitting opposite the three people, was staring at Mu Jin and Su Yi with a gloomy face. The three of them were talking to each other, and seemed to be arguing about something, but the faint smiles on their faces hurt Su Yuntian's heart.

It was as if the three of them were a family and I couldn't get involved no matter what.

At this time, the palace maids were coming forward and inviting those who had not yet taken their seats to their corresponding seats. It seemed that the Emperor of Dongyue was about to arrive.

Zhao Yefan also sat back next to Duke Zhao Xin.

Zhao Yefan's ancestors had made great contributions for generations, so even if he didn't take the imperial examination, he could still get an official position in the court thanks to his ancestors' good deeds.

But he became the most despised businessman in the world. If Zhao Xin hadn't had a son in his old age, Zhao Yefan would have been the only child in his generation, and Zhao Xin would have wanted to drown him.

Zhao Xin, who hadn't seen Zhao Yefan for a long time, couldn't help but scold him in a low voice when he saw Zhao Yefan sitting next to him.

"Unfilial son! If it weren't for this palace banquet, it would be difficult for your father to even see you once!"

Zhao Yefan still had a playful smile on his face towards Zhao Xin.

"If you get sick from seeing me so often, I can't bear the stigma of being unfilial."

The Duke was furious, but it was not easy for him to lose his temper in front of everyone. After all, those who came were all important people. He had a cold face, but after holding it in for a while, he couldn't help but said coldly.

"As soon as the palace banquet is over, you will come back home with me. You can't refuse!"

Zhao Yefan didn't say yes or no. He just glanced at his old father, the Duke, who was helpless with him, sneered, and casually looked towards the front of his seat.

At this time, Su Muxue was also staring coldly at Zhao Yefan, and the two of them looked at each other at the same time.

Zhao Yefan seemed stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, raised his glass, made a provocative smile to Su Muxue, then put it to his lips and took a sip.

Su Muxue had a cold face and turned away from looking at him.

Following the palace maid's singing, the Emperor of Dongyue Kingdom walked into the venue surrounded by palace maids and concubines.

At this moment, all the people attending the palace banquet knelt down to greet him.

Mu Jin also knelt down with everyone else. Only after hearing the words "My dear ministers, please stand up" did he stand up with everyone else.

Next, all the ministers raised their glasses and toasted to congratulate the emperor.

At this time, Emperor Su Yu raised his glass and said to the people attending the banquet: "In recent days, there has been a disaster in the Yulong area. I am deeply pleased that everyone here has donated money and materials to help with the disaster relief.

This banquet is thrifty, and all the food is very ordinary. It is rare that we haven't gathered together for a long time, so you can treat this palace banquet as an ordinary family banquet. You don't have to worry about me, just do as you please. "

When everyone heard the toast again to thank the Emperor of Dongyue for his gift, they continued to toast and chat with their colleagues and acquaintances around them.

At this time, Su Yu turned his head and looked at Su Yi. Su Yi did not raise his glass to toast him, but just drank his own wine.

He was not annoyed, but he was surprised to see Mu Jin sitting with Su Yi and his sister. He said to Su Yuntian, "Why didn't your princess sit with you, Third Brother? Instead, she sat at Little Six's table?"

Without waiting for Su Yuntian to answer, Su Muxue spoke first: "Father, I like Ah Jin very much. I was the one who insisted on bringing Ah Jin with me. Anyway, Third Brother has Concubine Shen Shen to accompany him, so he won't be lonely."

When Su Yu heard Su Muxue calling Mu Jin "Ajin", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but didn't say much. Instead, he just said something indifferent.

"You just like to make trouble." After that, Su Yu no longer cared whether it was against the rules and said no more, and just chatted and laughed with the concubines next to him.

As soon as Shen Rong entered the banquet, she saw Mu Jin sitting down with Su Yi and his sister, which was against the rules, and her face was full of displeasure.

This was not only a slap in the face of her son, but also a slap in the face of herself.

When she saw that Su Yu just laughed and scolded her indifferently and then said no more, she became even more angry towards those three people.

Shen Rong lowered her head and gave a few instructions to a personal maid beside her. After receiving the order, the maid left the venue.

Shen Qianqian sat on Su Yuntian's right, looking like a little bird, a good wife and mother. Shen Qianqian poured wine for Su Yuntian, and Su Yuntian occasionally picked up food for Shen Qianqian. To outsiders, they looked like a loving couple.

But only Shen Qianqian knew that Su Yuntian was absent-minded tonight.

In the middle of the palace banquet, the palace servants served some crabs to each table. The crabs in early winter were still plump and delicious.

This was the first time that Mu Jin had seen crabs in this era since she traveled through time. In the past, she loved eating seafood with shells in the present world, but she loved eating them but didn't like to peel them. So now, she just knocked on the crab shell with a spoon out of boredom, then picked it up and smelled it.

Su Muxue next to her looked at her actions and asked her.

"Ajin, do you like eating crabs too? Actually, I like them too, but they are too troublesome to eat."

Mu Jinxiao didn't want to admit that he didn't eat it because he was too lazy to peel it, so he laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Su Yi, who was standing beside them, heard their conversation. After thinking about it, he called the palace maid beside him to bring some clean water. After washing his hands, he began to peel the crabs.

After a long while, Su Yi somewhat unexpertly placed the peeled crab meat on the plate in front of Su Muxue.

Su Yi said to Su Muxue: "Try it, your fifth brother's cooking skills."

Su Muxue has grown up so much, but this is the first time Su Yi peeled her hair. She couldn't help but look surprised.

"Wow, Ajin, look, the sun is really rising from the west. It's rare that our King Yi has been so kind as to peel a crab for me. I must taste it carefully to live up to King Yi's kindness."

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Su Yi.
