Tragic death and rebirth, I remarried the scumbag uncle on the spot

Three days later.

The Prince Chen's Mansion received an invitation from the palace. Yu Guiwan took a quick look and found out that it was because the Queen's 40th birthday was coming up, so she held a family dinner and invited the two of them to the palace.

"Shall we go together?"

Yu Guiwan asked back.

Xie Sui's house arrest order has not been lifted yet. It seems that the Queen Mother mentioned them as a couple in this post, and His Majesty must have tacitly agreed, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have done such a rebellious thing.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Xie Sui glanced at the content of the post, looking a little confused.

"nothing."

Yu Guiwan didn't say anything, but she felt something was a little strange. Would the Empress, a person as well-behaved as her, really invite Xie Sui, who was still under confinement? Even if His Majesty and Xie Sui had a good relationship, but—

But this is the Queen's birthday party. Your Majesty wouldn't deliberately upset her, would he?

She shook her head and put the matter behind her.

They had just received the invitation when Bei Chu's voice rang out from outside the teahouse, "Your Highness, Princess, the Princess's Mansion has also received the invitation and has sent someone to the palace to respond."

"They are going to the palace for a banquet."

Xie Sui raised his eyebrows and said leisurely, "It seems that this birthday party may not be peaceful." Xie Rou would never attend such banquets in the past. She never attended except on non-essential holidays.

She also echoed, "Yes, it seems that this is another Hongmen Banquet." It must be no small matter for someone like Xie Rou to suddenly show up now. It seems that it will be another tough battle.

……

Fengyi Palace.

"Don't try anymore." The queen sat down, waved her hand, and looked tired.

"No, mother, you still have several dresses to try on." Xie Zhiyi picked up another dress and placed it in front of his mother, "Father asked the Imperial Clothing Bureau to make several dresses, and you haven't tried them all yet."

"On your birthday, you will be so glorious and dazzling that you will outshine all the other beauties."

Xie Zhiyi spoke with a smile, enjoying this activity very much.

The queen glanced at Xie Zhiyi and chuckled twice, "I am already forty years old, how can I still talk about being the most beautiful among all the girls?" She glanced at the person in the mirror. No matter how carefully she took care of herself at the age of forty, she was no longer a teenage girl after all.

"Even though my mother is forty years old, she still has her charm. Unlike that Concubine Yu who relies on her pregnancy to show off in the harem all day long." Xie Zhiyi complained. She had disliked that person for a long time.

Before she was pregnant, she was nowhere to be found in the harem. Now she is so arrogant because she is pregnant.

The Queen reminded, "Yong'an, be careful with your words." She knew that Yong'an was thinking about her, but His Majesty had few children, and now he only had one daughter, Yong'an. If Concubine Yu gave birth to a prince in the future, he would naturally have a special place in His Majesty's heart.

"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. I think this color is the most suitable for you, Queen Mother."

"Then listen to Yongan."

The queen knew that she was deliberately changing the subject, so she continued with what she said.

"By the way, I specially asked someone to go to Mingyuzhai to order makeup powder and rouge for my mother. I used them and thought they were very good, so I ordered a set for her." Xie Zhiyi waved her hand, and the maid immediately brought up the makeup powder and rouge she had bought.

She frowned, "Is it the one made by Princess Chen and Ming Yu Zhai?" She had a really bad impression of these two things.

Xie Zhiyi thought she was worried that there was something wrong with these things, so he explained: "Yes, there is no problem this time, it is indeed quite good." At the same time, Xie Zhiyi also praised sincerely.

"You keep it for yourself. I don't need it." She shook her head.

"Yong'an, you can't be like Yu Guiwan. Why would a princess like Princess Chen start a business? It really lowers the status of the royal family. And His Majesty, out of love for her, turns a blind eye to her."

Xie Zhiyi looked embarrassed. Although she didn't like Yu Guiwan, she felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Yu Guiwan doing business. Besides, this thing was really useful.

Xie Zhiyi wanted to say something else, but when he saw his mother's expression, he swallowed it back.

On the day of the birthday banquet, according to the rules, only the royal family could attend the banquet, but Xie Xu made an exception and allowed the queen's mother's family to come to the palace to celebrate her birthday with her. When Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui arrived, they happened to run into Xie Rou.

Because Xie Rou had just recovered, Xie Xu made an exception and allowed her to ride in a carriage into the palace this time.

"Hello, sister. How is your health?"

The two of them greeted each other with a smile.

"Much better. Thank you for your trouble." Xie Rou said gently. The three of them were polite to each other as if there had never been a barrier between them. However, the atmosphere was different from before. The three of them were a little too polite.

"Then let's go in together."

Xie Rou looked at the two of them and asked.

The three of them then walked into the hall together.

"Princess Roujia has arrived—"

"Prince Chen, Princess Chen is here—"

The attendant at the entrance of the hall sang loudly, and immediately everyone in the hall knelt down when they heard the sound, and saluted and greeted the three people in unison.

Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui walked forward, passing many people, but their eyes couldn't help but stay on one place for two seconds. Xie Sui naturally noticed Yu Guiwan's gaze, and only spoke after he sat down.

"Awan, what are you looking at?"

Xie Sui's words were tinged with jealousy.

Yu Guiwan didn't notice the jealousy in Xie Sui's tone and continued to ask, "The person who just passed by looked familiar." But she couldn't remember where she had seen this person.

He pursed his lips and said word by word, "Really?"

Yu Guiwan then realized that this guy was jealous and hurriedly explained, "I really think he looks familiar." Yu Guiwan tugged at the corner of Xie Sui's clothes with her hand under the table, with a bit of coquettishness.

Xie Sui then curled his lips, "He is the Queen's nephew, Nangong Yi. He just returned to the capital recently. I think he came back specifically for the Queen's birthday."

Nangong Yi?

Yu Guiwan thought about it and really had no impression of this person, so he didn't think about it anymore.

Instead, Xie Sui silently memorized the name in his heart, thinking that he would have someone investigate him thoroughly after returning.

As soon as Xie Rou sat down, many people gathered around to ask about her health. She responded with a smile, saying words of gratitude, "Thank you all for the supplements you sent me a few days ago."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall was very good.

At this time, the attendant outside the door sang and shouted: "Empress Yufei has arrived——"

Xie Zhiyi's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became gloomy. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "She dared to attend my mother's birthday party."
