Empress Dowager Liang glanced around the crowd gracefully and smiled slightly when she saw Ling Yu.

"The Ai family is very grateful to all of you for coming to wish the Ai family a birthday. Please stand up!"

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

Everyone thanked him, stood up one after another, and took their seats under the guidance of the palace maid.

Ling Yu also stood up, feeling that the Queen Mother's smile at her made her sense of majesty oppressed by wealth and power dissipate a lot.

She led Ling Yue and was about to find a seat to sit down, when she realized that men and women were sitting on opposite sides, and Xiao Lintian had been pushed to the male guest's side by Lu Nan.

She led Ling Yue to the female guests' side, but there was no palace maid to guide her, so she didn't know where to sit.

Soon, everyone sat down. Only she and Ling Yue were still standing, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on them.

Ling Yu was a little embarrassed and quickly scanned the seats, trying to find an empty seat to sit down as soon as possible.

But after glancing around, I found that they were all full and there were no free seats at all.

Her heart trembled, what did this mean?

She didn't believe that the Queen Mother would not prepare a seat for herself when she invited her here!

Was this a deliberate design, or did Aunt Wei forget to explain it?

Ling Yu glanced around calmly and saw Ling Yan, Shen Juan, Qin Ruosi, and Zeng Ziyu all looking at her with mocking expressions.

"What's going on over there? Who is that woman with the child? Why don't you sit down quickly?"

The official presiding over the ceremony stood under Emperor Wu'an. He saw Ling Yu standing with a child and shouted dissatisfied.

"My lord, I am Princess Yi Ling Yu! My lord, maybe my servants made an oversight and didn't prepare a seat for me!"

Ling Yu saw everyone's eyes turned towards her and sneered in her heart, did she want to watch the fun?

Then take a look!

Anyway, she had already figured it out. If the Queen Mother invited her to come, she would not see herself being humiliated!

Princess Yi?

Someone present murmured: "It was previously rumored that Princess Yi forged an invitation from the Queen Mother in order to attend the birthday banquet. It turned out to be true!"

"Didn't Commander Pang realize that the invitation was fake and let her in?"

Princess Pingyang, Shen Juan and Zeng Ziyu looked at each other and sneered in unison.

Ling Yu, this is just the beginning, just enjoy it today!

"what happened?"

Eunuch Xie was confused and glanced sharply at his father-in-law who was arranging the seats.

He clearly asked his apprentice, Young Eunuch Xie, to inform the Ministry of Etiquette to arrange two more seats. Did Xiao Xie forget to inform him, or did the people in the Ministry of Etiquette forget?

Emperor Wu'an was talking to the Queen Mother. When he heard the sentence "No post", he frowned and asked: "Who has no post?"

The father-in-law ran forward and reported in panic: "When I returned to the emperor, the palace did not send an invitation to Princess Yi! I don't know why Princess Yi came, so I didn't prepare a seat for her!"

As soon as this was said, there was even more discussion below.

Someone rudely mocked: "This Princess Yi is so shameless! She sneaked in on her own without inviting her!"

"That's right, not only did I come here by myself, but I also brought that little bastard with me! Is this because I don't have money to eat, so I sneaked into the palace banquet and wanted to eat something good!"

When Eunuch Xie saw the Queen Mother frowning, he glared at Eunuch Xie fiercely. He must have forgotten to inform the father-in-law who arranged the seats.

You have to give him a good lesson later. How dare you neglect the Queen Mother's guests!

Eunuch Xie took a step forward, just about to make amends for his apprentice's negligence.

Then Princess Pingyang shouted: "Your Majesty, Ling Yu sneaked into the palace with a fake invitation!"

"I want to expose Eunuch Xie, Aunt Wei, and Commander Pang. The three of them accepted Princess Yi's bribe of 200,000 silver and let her in!"

Eunuch Xie was immediately angry and couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head at him.

Eunuch Xie nodded in agreement and waited silently to watch the show.
