When they arrived at the dining room, the Empress Dowager and Princess Wen Yi were sitting and talking.
Jun Mengfei also accompanied her obediently. She didn't know what the Empress Dowager said to her, so she stopped making trouble and became extremely quiet in an instant, like a cute and beautiful elf.
Seeing Jun Mohan, she happily held his hand. Jun Mohan was pulled to the other side by her, but she still put a long distance between him and Mu Lingwei.
Mu Lingwei thought to herself: "It seems that she is bound to break up her and Jun Mohan."
No matter how Jun Mengfei glared at her, she remained calm and stood calmly, like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager, I have met the princess." Empress Dowager Shen also had to salute respectfully when she saw the Empress Dowager. However, Princess Wen Yi was also a princess of the Jun family. The two people in front of her had the highest seniority in the royal family, and she was not allowed to be the Queen Mother. No courtesy.
Jun Mohan and Mu Lingwei also saluted and said, "See the Queen Mother, Your Highness the Princess."
The Empress Dowager's eyes were cold and she didn't give anyone a good look. As if she was deliberately showing off her temper, she said calmly: "Sit down, everyone. When you arrive at the Ai family's palace, you will feel like you are at your own home. Don't be restrained. There are not so many things to pay attention to here in Aijia."
"Yes." Several people said in unison.
At this time, Aunt Pei Wan ordered the maids to serve the dishes again, and saw one after another exquisite food on the table, which made Mu Lingwei hungry.
She glanced at the Empress Dowager, who happened to be looking at her too.
The Empress Dowager suddenly said: "My granddaughter-in-law, please call the Aijia grandma, and the Aijia will reward you with a meal."
Mu Lingwei curled her lips, did she think she was a dog? She was even rewarded with a meal on the table. If she didn't, could the Empress Dowager let her watch them eat?
With so many delicacies, how could she treat her stomach so badly?
So, she also said obediently: "Hello grandma, my granddaughter-in-law is here to give you a gift."
Seeing her look, the Empress Dowager burst into laughter and said, "The Ai Family Palace has not been so lively in many years. Stop standing. Sit down."
I really don’t know whether she is trying to make the Empress Dowager happy, or whether the Empress Dowager is trying to make her happy.
Like an old child.
The way Mu Lingwei looked at her, the cloud in her chest instantly dissipated, and somehow she suddenly sat next to Queen Mother Shen.
So, she smiled politely at Queen Mother Shen.
But the next second, Queen Mother Shen suddenly gave her a cold look, her eyes full of disgust, as if she was a virus.
When people showed their faces to her, she pretended not to understand, and smiled even brighter, with the corners of her lips almost touching her ears.
At this time, Queen Mother Shen glared at her again and thought to herself: "Doesn't she know how to read people's eyes? Why is she glaring at her more and more closely? What qualifications does she have to sit at the table? She is still sitting next to her, she is the Queen Mother." "
Mu Lingwei also complained in her heart. It was obvious that no one wanted to be next to Queen Mother Shen. She reluctantly accepted her. Why was she staring at her?
As a result, Mu Lingwei felt more at ease, and Queen Mother Shen didn't look timid in her eyes. Instead, she sat aside contentedly.
At this time, Jun Mengfei was seen holding her brother's arm tightly, forcing them to stay far apart.
Mu Lingwei looked at the Queen Mother again, indicated with her eyes, and said: "Why is the dining table in your palace round? As long as there is a right angle, she will not be next to Queen Mother Shen."
The Empress Dowager seemed to be able to read minds and looked back at her, saying: "The Ai family likes to be round. It's a good sign to be reunited."
Mu Lingwei let out a breath of anger and glanced at Princess Wen Yi again, thinking to herself: "Why is this old man so far away?"
Is Hongluan her maid? Why are you still sitting next to Princess Wen Yi?
Does she want to serve the princess?
Mu Lingwei was full of doubts. According to the rules, should she serve Empress Dowager Shen?
Here, the number of maids serving Empress Dowager Shen also increased. One of them checked whether the dishes and chopsticks were poisonous for her, and the other tried the dishes for her. They tried this dish and that dish, and changed a lot of chopsticks and spoons. The most important thing is that the master hasn't started eating yet, but the maids have eaten first.
Mu Lingwei suddenly didn't want to sit next to her, it was too annoying.
So, she suddenly stood up, everyone looked at her, and she smiled slightly with embarrassment on her face.
The next moment, she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a dish in front of Jun Mohan, put it on the plate in front of Queen Mother Shen, and said: "I see that this dish is delicious. I first show my respect to the Queen Mother."
The palace maid kept trying the food, but Queen Mother Shen didn't take a bite. The food was completely cold, so how could she eat it?
It just so happened that the dish Mu Lingwei served was something that the palace maid had never tried before, and it was suddenly placed in her bowl, which frightened Queen Mother Shen to the point where her face turned pale in an instant.
It was as if the vegetables near Jun Mohan were poisoned by him.
The untried dishes were mixed with the tried dishes, which meant that the palace lady's previous tasting was all in vain.
Everyone here is a noble person, are they still afraid of being poisoned by the other party?
How strange!
Queen Mother Shen was afraid of this, so why did she bother to stay for dinner?
Seeing everyone looking at her, Mu Lingwei said, "Husband, did I do something wrong as a concubine?"
Jun Mohan had been holding back and not daring to look at her, for fear of arousing Empress Dowager Shen's suspicion. At this time, the sound of "husband" made him feel itchy.
He adjusted his breath again, his face also very cold, and said: "I don't need you to serve me at the royal family banquet. I can eat my own food."
She then said obediently: "Oh, I understand, it turns out there is no such rule, and Mr. Little Wheel didn't tell me, so..."
So, she took back the dish she had picked up with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth in one bite...
At this time, her expression changed. Why was it so unpalatable?
Jun Mohan frowned and said again: "You can't speak after eating."
"I know, I won't say anything until I sleep." She answered again.
Suddenly, Empress Dowager Shen's eyes were cold and she suddenly stood up from her seat and said to the Empress Dowager: "There is something unexpected happening in the Ai family, so I will not accompany the Empress Dowager and the princess to dinner."
The Queen Mother suppressed her laughter and said calmly: "The Ai family is going to hold a family banquet. Since Mo Han's princess has returned to the palace, it's time for everyone to get to know her."
Although Queen Mother Shen was angry in her heart and angry at Mu Lingweiyun's calm attitude, she still said in a gentle voice: "The Ai family has ordered people to handle this matter, and everything will be done according to the wishes of the Queen Mother."
Now, isn't her reputation big enough?
Everyone inside and outside the palace knew that Princess Anyang was not easy to mess with.
At this time, Queen Mother Shen looked at Mu Lingwei again, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
The Empress Dowager added: "It doesn't have to be a big event. It's just a family banquet. Call all the grandchildren and daughters-in-law of the Ai family into the palace to chat with the Ai family. Let King Ping handle this matter and ask him to invite some friends. The palace hasn’t been so lively for a long time.”
"yes."
Queen Mother Shen added: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, when is the right time to choose this family banquet?"
