After He An took Gu Ruoxi away, many more guests came.

In addition, the Seventh Prince's concubine also came, so everyone rushed in to pay their respects to her, so for a while, the main room was crowded with people.

Those who were not of sufficient status and wanted to move forward were crowded at the door.

A girl had to speak out:

"The princess is here."

He An brought Gu Ruoxi back again, and of course they could no longer enter through the side door. After all, they were here to pay their respects to the Seventh Prince's concubine.

So, when the people crowded at the door heard that the princess had arrived, they all turned around to look over. However, when they saw the princess, they also saw Gu Ruoxi.

Even if you don't recognize Gu Ruoxi yet, now when you see the young woman combing her hair following the princess, you will naturally know who Gu Ruoxi is.

Thus, all eyes fell on Gu Ruoxi's face.

Gu Ruoxi followed the princess as if nothing had happened. The princess frowned a little and reached out to pull Gu Ruoxi to show that she was protecting her.

Chu Yang walked in front to lead the way, and even though the ladies were fighting against the Japanese, they still made way for the princess.

As soon as they entered, the door was immediately blocked. This was because of what the Seventh Prince's concubine had said just now, and now they saw the concubine who was exchanged for marriage in the Seventh Prince's concubine's words.

These days, these people, like the Shu sisters, have heard a lot about Gu Ruoxi and the Nangong family, and now they all look over with some curiosity.

The action of Princess He'an bringing Gu Ruoxi in was also seen by the Seventh Prince's concubine, who glanced at their holding hands.

She was originally waiting for He An to pay her respects, but He An took Gu Ruoxi's hand and walked to the side of his mother.

He first pulled Gu Ruoxi over and said with a smile:

"Aunt Xie, I brought Sister-in-law Ruoxi to you."

Xie Qingrou's originally gloomy face suddenly lit up with a smile when she saw Gu Ruoxi come in.

Hearing what He An said, Xie Qingrou smiled gently:

"Thank you Lele."

When she was a child, Princess He'an liked Xie Qingrou very much and always pestered her to call her Aunt Xie.

Now she is called Aunt Xie, and Xie Qingrou naturally calls her by her nickname Lele.

Moreover, Xie Qingrou reached out and took Gu Ruoxi from Liang Le's hand, and then took Gu Ruoxi to sit next to her.

There were many people in the room, but no one would squeeze to the front. The only place they could squeeze was near the door.

Therefore, the stool that was placed for Gu Ruoxi before is still there.

Before Gu Ruoxi sat down, she called out in a low voice:

"mother?"

Xie Qingrou also knew that she was worried, and immediately responded softly:

"It's okay. Sit down."

Gu Ruoxi obediently reached out to help Xie Qingrou sit down first, and then sat down herself.

Many ladies saw this action and still felt that Gu Ruoxi was not the uneducated and etiquette-hungry person as rumored.

The Seventh Prince's concubine's expression was not so good. Everyone who came in saluted her after saluting the Third Prince's wife. When she came in, even the old lady of Duke Qin had to stand up and salute her, but unexpectedly, He An came in and just ignored her.

Especially the young wife that He An was protecting, it seemed that she was the concubine's daughter of the Gu family. She really didn't know etiquette.

The sisters of the Shu family who were brought in by He An also went straight back to their mother.

As the Third Princess's family, although their mother did not have a very high status, she was still arranged by the Third Princess to sit next to Xie Qingrou.

The three sisters also stood obediently behind their mother.

Their mother didn't know whether she should let her children pay their respects to the Seventh Prince's concubine first, but no matter how they paid their respects, it would still depend on the Third Prince's wife's expression.

If you want to perform the ceremony, He An must go first.

Sure enough, after sitting down, the Third Princess said:

"He'an, you're here. You've been playing for so long. Go and pay your respects to Concubine Xia."

Princess He An seemed to have just realized that the Seventh Prince's concubine had arrived. She stood up and walked over to salute:

"He An pays his respects to the concubine."

Only then did Gu Ruoxi take a serious look at the Seventh Prince's concubine.

Compared to the dress of the Third Prince's wife, the Seventh Prince's concubine was very domineering, while the Third Prince's wife was only wearing ordinary brocade clothes and was dressed more gorgeously.

But the Seventh Prince's concubine was actually wearing palace clothes today.

Palace dress is a kind of clothing that represents their rank, and the clothes represent their identity.

Her outfit was too formal, but it was not something she could tell. She also had a more formal makeup that she would wear at some of the royal family's formal ceremonies.

Gu Ruoxi didn't understand, but she could tell that her outfit was a bit complicated and made her look very luxurious, though a bit old-fashioned.

She is probably about the same age as Ouyang Jing, but now she looks about the same age as the Third Princess. I guess she is pretending to be old on purpose.

Princess He An bowed to her. She didn't call He An right away with a fake smile on her face. Instead, she smiled and said:

"He An has grown up too."

Then he covered his lips and smiled pretendingly and said:

"Get up, we are family, there is no need for so much etiquette. Your mother is hosting this flower banquet today and I came to see it. In previous years, I sometimes missed such a lively event because I was not feeling well or had other things to do."

Then he turned and looked at the Third Princess:

"Don't blame me for not coming here before, sister-in-law. I will definitely come here more often in the future."

The Third Princess smiled faintly and said:

"Look at what you said. You said we are a family. Why should I blame you? Besides, I organize flower appreciation just for fun. You have no shortage of flowers to appreciate. Don't think I don't know that there are many valuable species in your backyard garden."

The Seventh Prince's concubine smiled and said:

"I knew you would say that, so I brought you two flowers today. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they still need someone to truly love them. Giving flowers to Mrs. Wang is really giving them to the right person."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a nanny standing beside her went out and asked someone to bring in two flower pots.

The two flower pots were carried in a wooden box and covered with red gauze, which made them look like two red veils.

Two pots of flowers were brought over and placed in the middle of the hall. A woman on one side said with a smile:

"The Seventh Prince's concubines are so well dressed up that they look like two brides arriving in sedan chairs."

Gu Ruoxi didn't recognize who this person was, but everyone else knew that this was the sister-in-law of the Seventh Prince's concubine.

The Seventh Prince's concubine also laughed and said:

"Don't say, they really look like them. Today, just to celebrate the Third Princess's happiness, these two brides will be given to her. Someone, go and lift the veil for her to see. I guarantee she will be satisfied."

It was four old women who carried the flowers in, but it was two little girls who stepped forward to remove the red veil of the flowers.

The two little girls were about to reveal it when the Seventh Prince's concubine laughed and said:

"By the way, speaking of lifting the veil of the bride, I thought of the two brides of the Gu family who were both mistaken. You have to be careful. If you lift the two pots of flowers that were not sent by me, be careful. I can't let the brides be mistaken."
