"Yue'er won't come to the palace often. As long as I'm here, what does the intrigue in the harem have to do with Yue'er? If they dare to touch Yue'er's head, I will make them pay a hundred times the price." Huo Weilou used The most calm and domineering words are spoken in the calmest tone.

Such a contrast made Shen Xinyue think he was quite cute.

The Queen Mother hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and said sternly: "Huo Weilou, the Ai family hopes that you can face your identity! If you don't fight for it, how can you protect Yue'er? That knife will always be hanging over your head. !”

Huo Weilou's tone remained indifferent: "Queen Mother, I have always made it clear that I am just a regent."

Shen Xinyue only felt an undercurrent surging, and she couldn't quite understand the conversation between the two.

But she could tell that Huo Weilou's identity was definitely more than just a regent. Behind the regent, Huo Weilou also had a hidden identity.

The Queen Mother knew about this identity and wanted him to restore that identity. But Huo Weilou didn't seem to want to be the person the Queen Mother wanted.

Shen Xinyue just wanted to lie down, she didn't want to delve into it, and she wasn't curious.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and did not bring the matter to light with Huo Weilou. Therefore, although the two had differences, they still maintained superficial harmony.

Shen Xinyue, who was caught in the middle, kept pretending to be transparent. Fortunately, the two of them were only thinking about how to have a cryptic conversation and did not notice her.

Shen Xinyue quietly took a piece of snacks on the table and stuffed it into her mouth. The snacks in the Queen Mother's Palace were much more delicious than those in the Prince Regent's Palace. Wouldn't it be a shame for her not to eat more?

After the Queen Mother did not speak to Huo Weilou, she saw Shen Xinyue eating snacks non-stop, and the only softness in her heart was touched.

"If Yue'er likes the pastries in Aijia Palace, ask the cook to go to the Regent's Palace and make pastries for Yue'er to eat for a few days."

Shen Xinyue was so shocked that she almost choked and coughed several times before she could breathe again.

"Eat slowly." Huo Weilou poured a glass of water for Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue was a little embarrassed, she seemed to have lost her composure just now.

It's over, the character is about to collapse.

"The snacks at the Queen Mother's place taste better than those at Jiangnanfang. Xinyue was greedy for a while, so she ate more. She didn't have to bother the cook to come to the palace. Xinyue will be satisfied that she can come to the Queen Mother's palace to eat in the future." Shen Xinyue Without thinking too much, I just said this.

Huo Weilou saw that Shen Xinyue's face was still stained with snack crumbs, and stretched out his hand to wipe it away.

"If you like to eat, let the cook come to the palace."

Since Huo Weilou said so, Shen Xinyue readily agreed. "Thank you, Queen Mother!"

In the afternoon, Huo Weilou did not stay in the palace longer because he had official business.

Shen Xinyue, on the other hand, was chatting with the Queen Mother in the palace to relieve her boredom, making the Queen Mother nod frequently, and the smile on her lips never faded away.

The palace banquet was almost ready. All that was needed was for everyone to arrive before it could begin. Si Qi then came to remind Shen Xinyue.

After Shen Xinyue said goodbye to the Queen Mother, Cui'er led her and Si Qi to the center of the Imperial Garden.

For today's palace banquet, the queen temporarily invited many young ladies from aristocratic families, as well as the daughters of several important officials in the court.

Because there were more people, the venue of the palace banquet was also moved to the Imperial Garden, and the time was moved earlier, so we could drink tea and enjoy the flowers together.

When Shen Xinyue arrived, there were already twenty or thirty people here.

These people were also divided into several small groups. Among them, the largest group consisted of seven or eight people surrounding a girl wearing an aqua blue dress.

Shen Xinyue didn't know anyone here. Fortunately, Cui'er, who was by the Queen Mother's side, was there to remind her.

"Princess, the one wearing the aqua blue dress is the youngest daughter of the queen's brother. She has been raised in the queen's palace since she was a child. She was also named Princess Anning by the emperor. She is the most noble one among the ladies from the aristocratic family. .”

After Cui Er introduced her, Shen Xinyue looked at her twice.

No wonder there are so many people around, and their faces are full of pride and arrogance. It turns out that she has been made a princess.

Shen Xinyue secretly thought in her heart that if there was a need for a marriage in the future, Princess An Ning would be the first to be sent away.

After all, there is a princess who has no blood relationship with the royal family. It is impossible for the emperor to push his own daughter out, right? If he wants to get married, he will naturally push this outsider out.

Shen Xinyue was not close, and the Queen hadn't arrived yet, so these people were chatting in their own small groups.

Princess An Ning's complaints about Shen Xinyue were all heard by Shen Xinyue.

"Shen Xinyue, who is she? She is just the daughter of a small trader. She comes from a lowly background. How can she be worthy of brother Weilou!" Princess Anning spoke loudly, as if she was afraid that the people here could not hear her.

"The princess is right. The Shen family is just a businessman and has some reputation in Jiangnan. In the capital, how can the Shen family be considered a wealthy family?"

"That's right. This is the first time she has entered the palace today. I am afraid she will be stunned by the grandeur of the palace. Will she look like a country bumpkin?"

"Hey, I heard that she was very famous in Jiangnan before!"

"Really? Expand and tell us!"

"The Shen family in Jiangnan has two jewels! One is Shen Xinyue, and the other is her concubine. Shen Xinyue is a famous trash snack in Jiangnan! The concubine is actually a little talented girl in Jiangnan."

"They are indeed two apples in the eye, but Shen Xinyue is not a pearl but a pig! Hahaha!"

Shen Fengjiao and Lan Qingruo were by Princess Anning's side at this time.

Shen Fengjiao suddenly puffed up her chest when she heard that these ladies from aristocratic families and the princess were all disgusted with Shen Xinyue.

"Sisters, I am Shen Fengjiao from the Shen family, and Shen Xinyue is my eldest sister." Shen Fengjiao interrupted.

Princess Anning became interested. "Are you Shen Xinyue's concubine?"

Princess An Ning looked at Shen Fengjiao from head to toe and felt a little relieved when she saw that she only looked like Xiaojiabiyu and could not be considered stunning.

She had already received the news that Shen Xinyue's concubine had also moved into the Regent's Mansion!

If Shen Fengjiao is so stunning, maybe she might get close to the water tower and have something happen with Huo Wei Tower.

Now that Princess Anning saw Shen Fengjiao's appearance, she knew that Huo Weilou despised Shen Fengjiao. Even if he stripped Shen Fengjiao naked and put her on Huo Weilou's bed, he would not look at this woman again!

Even so, Princess Anning still looked down upon Shen Fengjiao. She didn't even take Shen Xinyue's identity into consideration, and she even looked down upon the concubine.

"Back to Princess, that's right." However, Shen Fengjiao pretended not to notice Princess An Ning's disdain, and directly followed her.

Shen Fengjiao snorted coldly in her heart. Princess An Ning seemed to be a spoiled and brainless person. She could just ask Princess An Ning to deal with Shen Xinyue on her behalf.

When the time comes that they both lose in the fight, she, Shen Fengjiao, will be able to take over.

"My eldest sister is famous in Jiangnan. As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, she never considers the family when she speaks or does things." Shen Fengjiao told all the stupid things Shen Xinyue had done in the Shen mansion. Take it out and laugh at it.

Princess Anning and these ladies from aristocratic families laughed together.

Even Lan Qingruo covered her mouth, unable to hide her smile.

The queen walked over slowly and listened to all the conversations of the few people.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start the palace banquet."

"Everyone is here? Didn't you say that the Princess Regent is also here? Why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

"Could we just not invite her?" Someone said and laughed.

Shen Xinyue didn't take it to heart.

These people all thought that the Princess Regent would come to the palace banquet wearing gorgeous and complicated clothes. Little did they know that Shen Xinyue was just here to pay a visit to the Queen Mother, and she was dressed dignifiedly but with simple patterns.

Therefore, these people had never seen Shen Xinyue, so naturally they did not recognize her.

The queen also heard their thoughts, waved her hand, and walked slowly to Shen Xinyue.

"Today, I specially invited the Princess Regent to attend today's palace banquet."

"This is the Princess Regent." The queen directly placed Shen Xinyue in front of everyone.

The ladies and concubines chatted with each other, all talking about the rumored princess.

Because Shen Xinyue came from the Queen Mother, they did not dare to discuss it too much.

Only Princess Anning, relying on her relationship with her mother's family and the empress, was fearless except in front of the emperor.

Princess Anning frowned and looked at Shen Xinyue carefully, and said dissatisfied: "Are you Shen Xinyue? You have a good skin, no wonder you can let Brother Weilou marry you."

Shen Xinyue couldn't help but laugh: "This is the famous Princess An Ning? It is just like the rumors. She is not afraid of anything, and she never takes others seriously."

As soon as Shen Xinyue said these words, Princess Anning immediately offended everyone. Others supported her because of her status as Princess Anning, but in fact her behavior was indeed disgusting.

"Who are you to deserve me to be afraid of you?" Princess Anning snorted coldly. "You're just a merchant's daughter!"

Although the queen feels comfortable, there are so many people present now, and it is not easy to let Princess An Ning scold Shen Xinyue. Firstly, people will say that the princess taught by the royal family is not well-educated, and secondly, they will also Huo Weilou lost face.

After all, he is the regent who covers the sky with one hand.

"An Ning! How can you call the princess by her first name? Also, the regent is married now, how can you still call brother Weilou? How unbecoming is it?"

Princess An Ning pursed her lips, "An Ning understands."

After the palace banquet started, everyone ate and drank individually.

I have to say that this is indeed a palace. The pastries that Shen Xinyue ate in the palace were much better than those in private restaurants. Even the cooks in the palace of Huo Weilou were slightly inferior.

Shen Xinyue ate a lot with the idea that since she came to eat, she would never suffer a loss.

After everyone finished eating, they gathered together to chat and enjoy the flowers while there was still some light in the sky.

Princess Anning was a restless master, so she took the initiative to come and talk to Shen Xinyue.

"Princess Regent, I heard that your reputation in Jiangnan is not very good?"

"So, in the eyes of Princess Anning, do I match the appearance in the rumors?" Shen Xinyue asked.

"She is very sharp-tongued! There is a big gap between this and the rumors." Princess An Ning showed a vicious expression.
