Time passed slowly and came to Su Manman's birthday.

Because it was her birthday, and it was also a farewell party for her before she left the palace and went home, the banquet was bigger than in previous years.

There are many such big occasions every time, and Su Manman is no longer surprised.

But thinking that after completing this process, she would be able to leave the palace, she was very willing to actively cooperate that day.

"Where is the Imperial Concubine? Why is it that today is the Queen's birthday, but the Imperial Concubine is not here?"

It was clearly Su Manman's party, but someone suddenly mentioned Li Yuwan.

Soon, those who noticed this and those who didn't began to look for people at the banquet.

Because Li Yuwan was still pretending to be unwell and did not show up.

So, it is naturally impossible for everyone to see her.

Everyone couldn't find anyone at the banquet, so their eyes finally fell back on Su Manman.

"I heard that the Queen has been at odds with Concubine Li recently. Could it be that..."

The person who spoke did not finish his words, but even this half of the words already made his point clear.

In the past, if it had been for such an occasion, Concubine Li would not have dared not show up, giving others the opportunity to talk about her and bring her down, and Su Manman would have had to rush to settle the score with her afterwards.

But she is different now.

Looking at the person that the person was pointing at, he spoke with a smile without waiting for Zhao Chengyuan to speak.

"I don't like what you said. No matter how much I disagree with you, I can't not let Concubine Li come at this time and give you the opportunity to criticize me."

"..."

Everyone didn't expect her to be so straightforward all of a sudden, and they were speechless for a moment.

Anyway, they were the ones who were impolite first. Su Manman felt that it was enough for her to be polite. As for whether they were happy or not, that didn't matter.

"Since everyone knows that I am not on good terms with Concubine Li, why don't you ask her about this? Concubine Li has been ill for a long time and should not be seen in public. Everyone wants her to show up at this time, but I'm afraid she can't stand being seen by others."

"..."

After saying what she wanted to say, Su Manman looked at the people who were frustrated because they couldn't find any way to deal with the problem, and felt satisfied.

She used to be easy to talk to, and these people really thought she had no temper.

Once she said this, no matter which side everyone took, they would offend others.

People are always profit-seeking. When they realize that things are not in their favor and they have no better choice, silence is the best protective color.

Zhao Chengyuan was originally very displeased to see those people saying these things at this time.

I wanted to say a few words to her, but I didn't expect that once she opened her mouth, she shut up everyone present.

Although it is a bit too sharp, it is not wrong.

However, someone still needs to mediate this awkward atmosphere.

"Don't take it to heart, Zhu Ming. The Queen is joking with you!"

"Ahahaha...just kidding!"

"Yes, yes, it must be a joke!"

"..."

They were all smart. Zhao Chengyuan gave everyone a way out and they hurried down.

This time, everyone consciously did not mention the matter between her and Li Yuwan.

However, Su Manman was drinking and watching everyone continue to act, and she glanced at Zhao Chengyuan inadvertently.

joke?

What she said just now was not a joke at all, she was very serious.

Zhao Chengyuan noticed the expression on her face but not her eyes, and could tell that she was emotional.

But in front of so many people, no one can be difficult with each other.

"Queen, cheers?"

"No."

Su Manman refused so bluntly.

Zhao Chengyuan did not intend to give up.

"The Queen is leaving the palace for so long, I don't know when we will drink again."

Su Manman really wanted to say that she was just going home to visit someone and was not going to die outside.

After thinking about it, I realized that today is my birthday and it would be unlucky to say this, so I gave up.

But Zhao Chengyuan kept holding up his glass to clink with hers.

Forget it, since today is a good day, give him some face.

Finally, she took her glass and touched his glass lightly. Then they both drank the wine in their glasses and looked at the guests without saying anything.

She noticed Li Yunhuang sitting with Zhao Yuxian in the audience.

Li Yunhuang was taking care of Zhao Yuxian, and the two seemed to be getting along very harmoniously.

From the news that the people who were taking care of them outside the palace would occasionally send back to the palace, it seemed that the two of them were handling things very well outside the palace.

Li Yunhuang still cares a lot about her husband who has difficulty in moving.

I don't ask others to do anything that I can do myself.

Judging from the natural way the two of them get along, Zhao Yuxian is completely able to accept her.

Love is more interesting if you watch other people talk about it~

Perhaps it was because Su Manman's gaze was too intense. Li Yunhuang, who was originally taking care of Zhao Yuxian, felt that someone was looking at her. She looked up and saw the queen looking at them with a smile on her face.

Li Yunhuang murmured to herself, wondering why the Queen looked at them with such kindness, as if she were an elder looking at her younger generation, and nodded at her with a smile.

Su Manman saw Li Yunhuang suddenly blushing, and suddenly realized that the look she gave them caused them considerable pressure.

In order to make them feel more at ease and turn their attention elsewhere.

They were all people I knew, but I didn’t have a very close relationship with them and had no desire to talk to them.

Just as she was looking aimlessly to the right, she suddenly found that the little eunuch sitting at the third table on the right looked a little strange.

His eyes kept wandering around the table, and from time to time, his gaze would always end up falling on Zhao Yuxian.

Just at this moment, the three words "Xi Yousan" suddenly popped up in her mind.

She wasn't sure if there was any connection between them, but when she thought about it, she suddenly felt uneasy.

Especially the little Tailin, after saying something to others, he actually walked towards Zhao Yuxian.

There were many people at the banquet, and she had no way to prove that there was something wrong with that person. She was afraid that if she suddenly screamed and startled everyone, it would be a big joke if nothing happened.

But if she didn't do something, she wasn't sure whether that person was going to harm Zhao Yuxuan - although most people wouldn't do that in such a situation, it couldn't be ruled out that some people who didn't care about their lives would take action in such a situation.

Her suddenly nervous expression caught the attention of Zhao Chengyuan who was sitting next to her.

He followed Su Manman's gaze and noticed the little eunuch who was approaching Zhao Yuxian and Li Yunhuang.

He didn't notice anything unusual about the man, but he could see that Su Manman was worried about Zhao Yuxian.

"Princess Su, I heard that you and Prince Su had some trouble recently?"

"what??"

Li Yunhuang was about to feed some snacks to Zhao Yuxian when she heard words coming from above and was stunned for a moment.

When the people present heard this, they all looked over there at once.

The young eunuch who was almost close to the two of them paused and quietly retreated after everyone's eyes were fixed on them.

"Your Majesty, this is a rumor! Even Prince Su couldn't argue with me! I...how can I make such a fuss?"

"Oh, I heard that too. I'm glad you're alright."
