The two of them were sitting in the carriage. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace had specially arranged a family banquet. Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui naturally had to go to the palace.

During the past two days at Prince Chen's Mansion, Yu Guiwan had gotten to know Xie Sui's health. He had to take medicine with all three meals a day, and he didn't eat much every day, but he learned from the servants that he had eaten a lot in the past few days.

However, she didn't know whether the rumors about Xie Sui were true. After all, she died before him in her previous life.

While Yu Guiwan was thinking, the carriage had already arrived at the palace.

As soon as the two men got off the carriage, the eunuch beside Xie Xu saw them and immediately went out to greet them.

"Prince Chen, Princess Chen, you are finally here. His Majesty specifically ordered this old servant to wait here." The speaker was the eunuch beside Xie Xu. When he saw the carriage of the two, he immediately went out to greet them.

At this moment, the hall was already full of people, except for the emperor and the empress who had not yet arrived. Everyone else was present.

"Prince Chen, Princess Chen is here!"

Someone was singing outside the hall, and everyone in the hall was looking towards the door.

Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui walked in together. The two of them standing together were extremely pleasing to the eye. The man was talented and the woman was beautiful, and they looked like a couple.

"Meet the Emperor's uncle and aunt."

Those younger than Xie Sui spoke in unison and stood up to salute the two men. Only Xie Yunqi and Shen Yunmiao's faces turned ashen and they were reluctant to stand up to salute.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the four of them. After all, everyone knew that Yu Guiwan and Xie Yunqi were married by His Majesty in the past. Not only was the bride abducted on the wedding day, but his former fiancée had become the emperor's aunt.

Xie Yunqi's face darkened. It was impossible for him to call Yu Guiwan "Auntie Royal", and Shen Yunmiao could only swallow her anger. However, Xie Yunqi did not speak for a long time, so how could she make decisions on her own?

This was the first time the four of them met after their marriage. Yu Guiwan looked at the expressions of the two with great interest, especially Xie Yunqi, whose face was darker than the bottom of a pot.

"What? Now that you're married, you don't understand the rules anymore?"

Xie Sui's voice was low, his black eyes narrowed slightly, giving off a sense of oppression.

No one present came out to help the two of them. Who would dare to refute what the Prince of Chen said? Unless they wanted to die.

In addition, many of the female relatives present looked down on Shen Yunmiao as a concubine. What was the point of her attending the royal banquet? It was only for the sake of Concubine Hui that they did not say much.

"Meet the Emperor's uncle and aunt."

In the end, Xie Yunqi reluctantly saluted the two of them, and the last two words were almost shouted out through gritted teeth.

Shen Yunmiao naturally followed suit and saluted, "Greetings to the Emperor's uncle and aunt."

After the two of them saluted, Xie Sui took Yu Guiwan and walked forward.

Xie Yunqi shook his sleeves and walked out of the hall in anger and shame.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Seeing this, Shen Yunmiao picked up her skirt and hurriedly chased after him.

Before the two of them left the hall, voices rang out from outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"

Everyone in the hall said in unison: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen."

Xie Xu and the Queen took their seats before looking at Xie Yunqi, who had returned to his seat. "The banquet is about to begin. Where were you going?"

"In reply to your Majesty, I just felt unwell and wanted to take a walk outside the palace." Xie Yunqi stood up and replied.

"Are you feeling better now?" Xie Sui asked suddenly. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xie Sui was deliberately going against Xie Yunqi.

"I feel much better now. Thank you for your concern, uncle." Xie Yunqi replied with a forced smile.

Yu Guiwan looked at the hostility between the two men. It seemed that in their previous life, they had never been in such a confrontation and had always kept to themselves. Now it seemed that Xie Sui was very hostile to Xie Yunqi.

However, the biggest competitor for the throne now is Xie Yunqi, and Xie Sui's hostility towards Xie Yunqi is understandable. This is something Yu Guiwan is happy to see. After all, her goal is to make it impossible for Xie Yunqi to ascend the throne again.

"Today is a family dinner, so there's no need to be formal."

Xie Xu waved his hand, and soon music started playing in the hall, and the dancers danced to the music.

Yu Guiwan had observed Xie Sui's preferences over the past few days and found out that he liked sweet food just like her. Before she went out, Wei Heng came to her alone and told her to make sure Xie Sui ate something so that she could use the medicine when she returned.

Yu Guiwan agreed. After all, they were now in a partnership, and it was his responsibility to take care of Xie Sui's health.

So after taking his seat, Yu Guiwan didn't bother to eat first. He used the serving chopsticks to pick up a few dishes and put them in Xie Sui's bowl. "Your Highness, you still need to take medicine after the banquet. Please eat something."

Xie Sui was a little flattered for a moment, his eyes filled with joy.

"Okay." Xie Sui picked up the chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Seeing that he had a good appetite, Yu Guiwan was about to put more food into his bowl when Xie Xu, who was sitting at the main seat, suddenly spoke up: "Shi Yu, didn't I remember that you don't like sweets?"

Yu Guiwan paused holding the serving chopsticks.

Xie Sui had indeed been eating sweet food these days.

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken. I have always loved sweets." Xie Sui put down his chopsticks and said seriously.

Xie Xu: "..." I don't believe you.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand. It's not that Asui doesn't like sweets. It's obvious that he only likes the ones that Princess Chen gives him." The voice was a bit teasing and came from the opposite side of Yu Guiwan.

Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui sat in the first seat to the right of the main seat. Opposite them sat Princess Roujia, who lived a secluded life and rarely went out, so she was rarely seen.

Princess Roujia's words made Yu Guiwan almost vomit the tea she had just drunk, but she had to hold it in and not embarrass herself. Instead, she choked on the tea and started coughing.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Drink slowly, no one's going to snatch it from you." Xie Sui patted her on the back quickly, his movements as skillful as if they were a couple who had been married for many years.

Xie Sui's actions inevitably caused quite a stir.

"Prince Chen really cares about his princess."

"Yes, everyone in the royal family knows that Prince Chen is picky about food. Now it seems that he dotes on this princess."

"Look at that concerned look in your eyes. I don't usually look at you like that when I see you."

Everyone was talking so much that Yu Guiwan felt embarrassed, and a blush crept up her fair face.

As soon as the banquet was over, Xie Yunqi walked out of the palace angrily, and Shen Yunmiao could only follow him.

As soon as Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan left the palace, they got on the carriage. Except for Princess Roujia who had a sedan chair, the rest of the people had to walk to the palace gate.

"Bei Chu, drive faster." Xie Sui ordered while sitting in the carriage.

"Yes."

Bei Chu increased the speed of the carriage and immediately passed Xie Yunqi and Shen Yunmiao who were walking in front. The two of them were covered in dust behind the carriage.

Xie Yunqi clenched his fists and roared in his heart:

Ahhhhh!

Xie Sui! Yu Guiwan!
