Chapter 476 Making things difficult
Seeing that everyone surrounded the queen mother and ignored her as a queen, Xue Yirong felt very depressed.
As a queen, she doesn't have much prestige among married women, not even comparable to Sima Xunqin.
Otherwise, the queen mother would not drag her old body to attend the banquet.
Originally, she thought that the situation would be different this year without Sima Xunqin.
But it turns out...
The Empress Dowager glanced at Xue Yirong beside her, and an inexplicable expression flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"I also saw the Golden Buddha, Ai's body is a little tired."
The queen mother said: "Ai's family will go back to the palace to rest for a while, you can continue to attend the banquet."
She only hoped that after she left, Xue Yirong, the queen, could support the situation.
Otherwise, how many years will she be able to help the town?
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother!"
Everyone stood up and saluted the queen mother, sending her away respectfully.
"Grandma, Queen Mother, I will send you back to rest!"
Yunmengxi stepped forward to help the queen mother get up.
"Well, good boy." The Empress Dowager patted Yunmengxi's hand kindly and nodded with a smile.
Looking at the back of Yunmengxi beside the empress dowager, Yu Wenyu gripped her hands tightly underneath, and her sharp nails pierced into the delicate palms, leaving red crescent marks one after another.
But she didn't notice it at all, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Okay, just send it here, Mengxi, go back!"
At the gate of Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager drove Yunmengxi back.
"Grandma, Queen Mother, I'll stay with you!" Yunmengxi shook his head and said.
The palace is so lively today, isn't it too lonely to stay in the lonely Shoukang Palace of the Queen Mother?
"What are you doing with this old woman from Ai's family?"
The queen mother laughed and shook her head, "You young people should play with young people!"
"No! I want to accompany the queen mother!" Yunmengxi said firmly with her lips pressed together.
"The queen mother knows that you are filial!" The queen mother held Yunmengxi's hand and said with a smile: "But the queen mother has been busy all day, and her body is weak, so she is going back to rest."
Hearing that the queen mother said that she was going to rest, Yunmengxi did not continue to persist.
"Alright then." Yunmengxi nodded and said, "Then grandma, the queen mother, go back and rest, I'll go first."
"Ah Xuan, send Mengxi off." The Queen Mother ordered.
"Grandma, Queen Mother, no need! I am very familiar with the palace, so there is no need for Aunt Xuan to make a special trip!"
Yunmengxi quickly waved his hand to refuse, and was exhausted even if Aunt Xuan ran back and forth. He was afraid that the Queen Mother would insist, so he ran away immediately, and after running a few steps, he turned around and waved to the Queen Mother, urging her to go back: "Grandma Queen Mother , go back quickly!"
Seeing the Queen Mother nodding, Yunmengxi turned and left.
Seeing Yunmengxi's figure disappear into the night, the Empress Dowager looked slightly melancholy.
"Queen, the night is cold, let's go in." Aunt Xuan reminded.
The Queen Mother glanced at Aunt Xuan beside her, nodded slightly, turned around and walked slowly into the huge palace gate of Shoukang Palace.
At the banquet, Li Chun sat alone on the seat, and none of the twins and misses around him wanted to talk to him.
Firstly, because they knew that Sima Qitong hated Li Chun, many people deliberately isolated him.
Some other people did not dare to approach Li Chun because they were worried that they would get angry.
Another reason is that what Li Chun said today broke the hearts of many Miss Shuang'er.
So during the whole banquet, Li Chun didn't even have a single person to talk to.
"Pure brother!"
Yunmengxi returned to the palace, and found Li Chun sitting alone.
"Mengxi, didn't you leave with the queen mother?" Li Chun looked at Yunmengxi beside him and asked in surprise.
Just now he saw Yunmengxi and the queen mother leave together.
"The queen mother is resting, so I am back."
Yunmengxi explained. He looked around, frowned and asked, "Brother Chun, I don't know if it's my illusion. I feel like everyone is looking at me."
When she appeared in the palace with the queen mother today, Yunmengxi had this feeling.
Now that the queen mother has left, this feeling is even more obvious.
This made Yunmengxi very surprised. You must know that in the past, he was always a marginal figure at such banquets, and no one would deliberately pay attention to him.
Li Chun looked around at Ruowu who seemed to be gliding over, pursed his lips and said, "It should be because I told you about your engagement to Mr. Chu before."
"Huh?" Yunmengxi blinked and looked at Li Chun puzzled, wondering why he would tell everyone this.
"Everyone admires Mr. Chu's talent. Today I heard that he entered the palace, so..."
Li Chun sighed slightly, explained briefly, then looked at Yunmengxi after a pause and said, "At least half of the people here admire Mr. Chu, Mengxi, be careful."
Yunmengxi's eyes widened. He had been by Chu Zhuang's side all the time, so he had no idea what kind of influence Chu Zhuang's fame had on the outside.
Now, looking at the eyes of many ladies present, I can't hide the scrutiny, envy, jealousy, and disgust, hatred...
Only then did Yunmengxi have a preliminary understanding of this.
You must know that most of these people here have a family background, a good appearance, a talented twin and a young lady. These people usually have eyes on the top of their heads.
"Humph!"
Yunmengxi caught a Shuanger who was staring at him, stared back fiercely, and then said: "Chu Zhuang is engaged, no matter how much they think about it, it's useless!"
Chuzhuang is his, no one can take it away!
The current Yunmengxi is not the same as before.
If in the past, Yunmengxi would have been very flustered knowing that so many people were thinking about Chuzhuang.
But with Chu Zhuang for so long, he already knew Chu Zhuang's feelings for him psychologically, and his heart was full of security.
So in the face of these people's covetousness, he is not afraid!
Li Chun looked at the confident Yunmengxi in front of him, showing a surprised expression.
If this kind of thing was placed on him, Li Chun asked himself that he would not be able to do something like Yunmengxi, not to mention other things, there would definitely be a feeling of worrying about gains and losses.
But Yunmengxi is very confident, he believes in Chu Zhuang's feelings for him, and he doesn't think anyone can destroy them.
Li Chun smiled, and his worried heart calmed down a little.
It seems that the relationship between Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi is much deeper than he thought, otherwise, according to the Yunmengxi he knew, he would definitely not be as confident as he is now.
"Mengxi, you don't have to worry about the others, but Her Royal Highness..."
Li Chun put his hand on his mouth and reminded him in a low voice, "You have to be careful."
Others were afraid of Yun Tingfeng and did not dare to attack Chu Zhuang, especially when the two were already engaged.
But Yu Wenyu is different.
She is the daughter of a princess, emperor and empress.
And as the only daughter of the emperor, Yu Wenyu was especially loved by Yu Wenchang.
If Yu Wenyu fell in love with Chu Zhuang and asked the emperor for a marriage, then even Yun Tingfeng would have to back down.
"Princess?!"
Yunmengxi's eyes widened, he looked in the direction of the princess, and happened to meet her sinister gaze.
Speaking of which, Yunmengxi also stayed in the palace for a while when he was a child, and he and Yuwenyu have also known each other since childhood.
It's just that the relationship between them is a bit uncomfortable.
Yu Wenyu looks cute and well-behaved on the outside. People who don't know her will definitely be deceived by her appearance.
Yunmengxi was deceived by Yuwenyu, and even suffered a big loss at her hands. So far, Yunmengxi has not forgotten it!
"Mengxi!"
Yu Wenyu looked at Yunmengxi and smiled, stood up from her seat, and walked towards Yunmengxi.
The conversations around gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Wenyu and Yunmengxi.
"His Royal Highness." Yunmengxi frowned slightly, and said politely and alienated.
Li Chun stood up, his eyes full of worry, and he saluted Yu Wenyu.
"Brother Mengxi, just call me Xiaoyu, we grew up together, why bother to be so alien!"
Yu Wenyu laughed, and accompanied by her round and cute little face, she looked extraordinarily lovable.
But Yunmengxi had suffered a lot from this face back then, if Yunhong hadn't opened his mouth to break it, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark by Yuwenyu until now!
"There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. A princess is a princess. Mengxi dare not make mistakes." Yunmengxi said coldly.
"Brother Mengxi, saying this will make Xiaoyu sad." Yu Wenyu said pretendingly.
According to Yunmengxi's temperament, he is definitely not willing to pretend to be courteous with the princess.
But if she doesn't give Yu Wenyu this princess face in front of so many people, she is afraid that Yu Wenyu will take this opportunity to make things difficult for Yunmengxi.
Li Chun was worried, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to rescue Yunmengxi, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet given by the emperor, the princess is wearing court clothes, so Mengxi will naturally treat her with the princess's etiquette."
Right now it is a formal occasion, and Yunmengxi treats it with formal etiquette, and there is nothing unreasonable about it.
If Yu Wenyu continues to ask Yunmengxi to call her Xiaoyu, then she will lose her status.
Hearing Li Chun's words, Yu Wenyu narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her face became a little colder.
"You know a lot."
Yu Wenyu looked at Li Chun and said, "Then do you know that Bengong is talking to Yun Shizi, and you have the right to intervene?!"
"you!"
Seeing Li Chun being made things difficult, Yunmengxi glared at Yu Wenyu, but was stopped by Li Chun just as she was about to speak.
Li Chun winked at Yunmengxi, telling him not to act rashly.
Yunmengxi pursed her lips tightly and said nothing with a cold face.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness the Princess!" Li Chun saluted Yu Wenyu.
Li Chun didn't pay much attention to Yu Wenyu's accountability. Today is a day of great joy, and it's the Queen's first home game. If Yu Wenyu punishes him, I'm afraid that others will laugh at the Queen.
"Write it down this time, if you do it again next time, don't blame me for being rude." Yu Wenyu said with a cold snort.
"Yes!" Li Chun agreed.
