Walking next to Xie Yun, both Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling's back teeth were about to break.

Forced by the unfavorable situation, Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling followed.

Xu San left the palace alone.

This is what happens on the surface, but Jiang Fuling and Shen Chu don't know whether Xu San actually went out directly.

All they knew was that they now needed to follow Xie Yun into the palace.

As for where Xie Yun was going, Shen Chu already had a guess in his mind.

Maybe... it's to go to the banquet hosted by the Queen Mother.

No matter what, the virtuous prince is also the seventh prince. It is just to add an extra chair, so it is reasonable for the queen mother to invite him.

But if it is really as she thought, then Xie Ming and Shang Heng must be here as well.

How can this not be considered a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road?

"Is the prince good to you?"

While walking on the road, Xie Yun suddenly spoke.

Didn't they say they were ugly in a unique way? Why did they still chat with them?

Shen Chu complained in his heart, but still answered Xie Yun's question.

"Your Highness treats everyone in the palace equally, without any distinction."

Official questions deserve the best official answers.

But this answer was not what Xie Yun wanted to hear. He chuckled and looked at Shen Chu, "Really? That's not what I heard."

Then you heard it wrong.

Shen Chu didn't want to bother with this person anymore. He lowered his head and walked forward without saying a word.

Staring at this familiar face, Xie Yun silently curled his lips, closed his folding fan, and walked forward.

"I don't know how happy the Crown Prince will be today. He used to like Sister Yanran the most."

He seemed to say this unintentionally, but his peripheral vision was watching Shen Chu's reaction.

Sadly, there was no reaction on Shen Chu's face, just like usual.

Only Shen Chu himself knew that his fingertips were tightening.

No way, she has to give up after this.

Any difficulty can easily defeat her, she is just an ordinary little waste.

If Xie Ming really likes Meng Yanran, she must give up as soon as possible.

Don't waste your time on meaningless things.

After making this decision, Shen Chu felt much happier.

I didn't realize at all that I was feeling a little disappointed.

-

The Queen Mother did hold a grand banquet, and the long table was filled with delicious dishes. Standing in front of the table with Xie Yun, Shen Chu saw the braised prawns on the table and felt that everything he had just eaten had gone into a bottomless pit.

Otherwise, why would I be hungry now?

Xie Yun sat cross-legged at the table, and suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Chu, "Please sit down."

?

what?

Why is she sitting down?

Shen Chu had heard of some of Xie Yun's romantic deeds, but she had never thought that Xie Yun would do such a thing on such a grand occasion.

Let a maid sit next to him?

Although she was not a maid, she was indeed dressed as a maid. What was the big deal about her sitting next to Xie Yun like this?

But before Shen Chu could think of an answer, Xie Yun suddenly reached out and pulled her forward a step.

The defenseless Shen Chu stumbled and fell forward, and could only put all his weight on Xie Yun, with his joints bent, and he barely knelt beside Xie Yun.

After she sat down, she was still a little dazed. She let out a long breath and felt that her mood had worsened. She glared at Xie Yun fiercely, but found that Xie Yun was looking at her.

This made her glare somewhat awkward, and she quickly restrained her expression and gave a fake smile, "Your Highness the Wise King..."

"Eat whatever you want, no one will scold you."

Xie Yun then looked at Jiang Fuling on the other side and asked, "Would you like to sit down and eat something together?"

Since Shen Chu had already sat down, Jiang Fuling naturally didn't hesitate to sit down, grabbed a piece of cake and started eating without any hesitation.

Among a group of people who all came alone or only brought two maids with them, Xie Yun was completely an outlier among the outliers.

Xie Ming arrived alone, while Shang Heng only brought Yi He with him.

Xie Yun was seated opposite Shang Heng, with Xie Xuan next to him.

Diagonally opposite is Xie Ming.

Seeing this position, Shen Chu lowered his head obediently to prevent others from seeing him clearly.

Although she had tried her best to dress herself strangely, she still couldn't guarantee that others would not recognize her.

When she lowered her head, she inevitably saw the washed green grapes on the table. She picked two and put them in her mouth. She was surprised to find that they tasted good and quite sweet.

Just like that, the two people sitting next to Xie Yun both started eating attentively, not noticing the difference elsewhere at all.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Shen Chu was eating happily when a shrill voice came out. She stood up with Xie Yun and saluted in the direction of the empress dowager.

It was also at this time that Shen Chu finally saw Meng Yanran's appearance clearly.

Meng Yanran is very beautiful. Even with just a little makeup on her face, she is already stunning. Her demeanor and temperament are impeccable. Wearing a wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress, she follows quietly behind the empress dowager, exuding a noble and elegant temperament that makes people willing to fall for her.

No wonder the system used so many exaggerated words when it mentioned Meng Yanran. It would be better to see her in person than to say a million words.

Such a woman is indeed a model of a lady from a noble family. No wonder Xie Ming and Shang Heng both like her.

If it were her, she would like it too.

I don’t know if I can make friends with Meng Yanran, but I think it should be pretty good.

"Long live the Queen Mother, may you live forever!"

Uniform voices rang out from all directions, and Shen Chu also shouted in a fake manner.

"It's just to welcome Yanran. There's no need to be so restrained."

The elderly woman raised her hand and walked to the main seat and sat down. Meng Yanran naturally followed her to the main seat, but Meng Yanran stood next to the Queen Mother.

After stopping, Meng Yanran subconsciously searched the crowd.

Soon she found the person she was looking for.

The man was dressed in a black robe with delicate gold edges on the cuffs and collar, which was particularly eye-catching. He exuded an aura that could not be ignored, and his temperament was majestic and calm. Everything seemed so insignificant in front of him, as if the whole world was his backdrop.

And he is the center of this world.

At this time, the man was holding a wine glass in one hand, his eyes fixed on a certain place.

Following his gaze, Meng Yanran saw a maid sitting next to Xie Yun and eating heartily.

Is he looking at Xie Yun or that ordinary maid?

Meng Yanran didn't know.

But Xie Ming himself knew it as clearly as it could be.

He was not looking at Xie Yun, but the maid whose figure and behavior gave him a sense of familiarity.

It was just that the other person's head was buried too low, and he couldn't see clearly at all.

At this moment, the maid suddenly raised her head and glanced in Xie Ming's direction.
