Chapter 737 The little prince really has no good intentions

There is no overly strict etiquette in Danliang Kingdom, and it is not like the costume dramas Bai Ruozhu watched in her previous life, where she had to kneel down and kowtow when she saw any emperor or empress. Even the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was not so elaborate that she knelt down to wait for the Queen Mother to attend.

So Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun were brought to the arranged positions, and they observed the people around them curiously. Some of the ladies, like Bai Ruozhu, wore royal court uniforms, so one could tell their rank at a glance and probably guess their status. However, those people were chatting and laughing, and they didn't seem to be sitting upright, and they didn't even have the consciousness that they couldn't make loud noises in the palace. .

Bai Ruozhu murmured in her heart. Sure enough, the Queen Mother thought it would be more appropriate to hold a buffet. The atmosphere was really casual.

Li Wanhua's seat is not far from Bai Ruozhu, but because the location has been arranged, they cannot change seats casually until at least the Queen Mother has not spoken and everyone can leave the table to get the buffet.

When Li Wanhua smiled at Bai Ruozhu, there was a pair of eyes not far away looking at Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu noticed it quickly and couldn't help but look over, and saw that Prince Xue Xiaojun was looking at her. He went over and nodded slightly at her.

Jiang Yichun naturally noticed that someone was greeting his wife. He also looked over, and even looked at Prince Xue with some provocation. He also deliberately put his arm around Bai Ruozhu's shoulders, as if to declare his ownership. .

Bai Ruozhu was amused by Jiang Yichun's actions. She managed to hold back her laughter. Wasn't this guy too funny? At least one look at her is enough to declare one's sovereignty. If one comes to talk to her, will her husband's guild beat him up all over the place?

Just when Bai Ruozhu was snickering in her heart, Jiang Yichun's arm around her shoulders suddenly tightened, and his whole arm became stiff. He even couldn't help but lean forward, as if he wanted to see more clearly. Bai Ruozhu immediately noticed his change and couldn't help but look at him. She saw that his face was full of surprise and his mouth was still slightly open. His lips were a little white due to excitement or nervousness.

Bai Ruozhu was shocked. Jiang Yichun was definitely not dissatisfied with Prince Xue. She followed his gaze and saw that there was a young girl beside Prince Xue, and then there were some other people in front of them. There was a couple sitting at a table. The man looked somewhat similar to Xue Wenqian. Without even thinking, he knew he was Prince Xue, and the woman beside him...

Bai Ruozhu was also stunned. She looked at the woman, and then turned to look at Jiang Yichun. She really looked very much like her!

She finally understood that Jiang Yichun's slightly opened mouth just now was clearly the word "mother"!

She looked at the woman dully. If she could sit with Xue Wenqian and the others, and next to Prince Xue, she would be Prince Xue's wife.

Jiang Yichun's mother reconciled with his father back then, but no one knew the news later. It turned out that she had remarried to Prince Xue?

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but hold Jiang Yichun's hand and whispered: "Ah Chun, calm down, I will stay with you."

If he messed up in such a scene, he would probably be laughed at by many people, and he would probably be the one injured in the end.

She couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Xue, or Jiang Yichun's mother. There was not much surprise on the woman's face. It could be seen that she knew Jiang Yichun would appear, that is, she had known that Jiang Yichun had returned to Beijing, but Didn't take the initiative to come to him...

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu didn't have much favorable impression of Mrs. Xue. It happened that Mrs. Xue's eyes met hers, and there was not much kindness in her eyes, and even some disdain.

Bai Ruozhu withdrew her gaze and sneered in her heart, why should she look down on her? What is there to be proud of for a woman who doesn't even care about her own son? Even if the remarriage is successful, it may not be a real success.

Not far away at the Li family's table, Li Bin whispered to his sister, "Don't Mr. and Mrs. Bai Ruozhu know about Mrs. Xue?"

Li Wanhua looked at Jiang Yichun, sighed and said, "What a mistake. Last time Xue Wenqian took the initiative to talk to Bai Ruozhu, I felt weird in my heart. Later, when I asked about it, I found out that Mrs. Xue had remarried, but I thought Bai Ruozhu and the others had returned to Beijing. It’s been so long, it’s time to just know, it’s not convenient for me to bring up such embarrassing things, who knows they don’t know about it at all.”

"Hmph, then Xue Wenqian must have bad intentions. Is he at odds with his stepmother, or does he want to harm Miss Bai?" Li Bin said with a cold snort.

"I have to apologize to Sister Ruozhu later for not warning her in advance." Li Wanhua sighed again.

Many years have passed since the Jiang family's affairs, and the younger generation in Beijing don't know much about it, and no one will deliberately inquire about it. Even nine years have passed, and many people have forgotten that Prince Xue's step-sibling, the Gu family, was from the past. The second daughter-in-law of Jiangge.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Xue Wenqian coldly again. No wonder he had invited her to Xue's house for a banquet so warmly before. Sure enough, he had no good intentions. He wanted her appearance to remind people in Beijing of Jiang Yichun's mother's remarried identity. Do you want to embarrass your stepmother?

She doesn't care about the ups and downs of the Xue family, she has no interest in playing house fights with others, and she hates others treating her as a gun.

Xue Wenqian noticed that Bai Ruozhu glared at him, and touched his nose awkwardly, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

Bai Ruozhu withdrew her gaze, not wanting to look at the Xue family anymore. As for whether Jiang Yichun wanted to recognize his mother, it was up to him to decide.

Jiang Yichun had calmed down now. He turned to look at Bai Ruozhu, his eyes full of affection, "Ruozhu, it's good that you are here."

Seeing him like this, her heart began to throb, and she wanted to hold his head and soothe his agitated mood at the moment.

At this time, a eunuch screamed: "The Emperor is here, the Queen Mother is here!"

Everyone stood up together, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun also stood up, and saluted with everyone, shouting "Long Live the Emperor, Long Live the Queen, Thousand Lives the Queen Mother", etc. The Emperor told everyone to level up, and everyone stood up straight.

The Emperor helped the Queen Mother to sit down. His movements were considerate, careful, and very skillful. This showed that he took good care of the Queen Mother in daily life, and he should be a filial person in private.

Bai Ruozhu's original bad impression of the emperor had improved a bit, but she thought he said that she was "only worthy of being a concubine". She was still worried about this, and felt that the emperor was not a wise king because his vision was too poor.

The Queen Mother smiled and sat down, and the Emperor sat down below her, as if he respected the Queen Mother.

"Today is the Ai family's birthday, but the Ai family doesn't like those tacky banquets, so they followed the fashionable methods in Beijing and organized this buffet. Later, everyone can watch the singing and dancing while taking food freely without being too restrained. If anyone prepares After watching the show, we will also go to the water stage to perform later. Come in order, and the Ai family will definitely watch it one by one." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Everyone said that the Queen Mother was wise, then the singing and dancing started, and the buffet was officially launched.
