The emperor introduced her as the nine princesses, and then told her about the nine princes.
When it was Wenren's turn, his attitude became much colder, and he just brushed it off.
Wen Renji sat at the very end, accompanied by a court lady, looking quite lonely.
Shen Mubai found that, except for the tenth prince who was only two years old, the rest of the princes didn't seem to like her very much.
But for the sake of appearance, they stood up individually and smiled at her.
Concubine Rong probably knew that she didn't invite other concubines to see her, but she didn't care, she just looked at her little princess lovingly.
Shen Mubai ate a few grapes, watched the singing and dancing, and found it interesting at first, but then he became bored.
Wanting to eat any more, Concubine Rong grabbed her hand and said, "These grapes are cold, so don't eat too much."
Shen Mubai curled his lips and ate something else.
Concubine Rong had no choice but to let her go.
"Greetings to Concubine Rong, Princess Ninth." A clear voice sounded.
Looking up, a seven or eight-year-old boy was saluting in black clothes, he looked pretty good.
"Are you the son of the Liu family?" Concubine Rong asked.
"Yes, Concubine Rong, my name is Liu Yanzhi, and I am the second child at home." Liu Yanzhi secretly glanced at the little princess, with some enthusiasm on his face.
"What's the matter?" Her natal family had some friendship with the Liu family, so Concubine Rong's tone softened.
"I just wanted to say hello to Concubine Rong and the Ninth Princess." Liu Yanzhi said, but his hands were sweating a little nervously, and his eyes glanced at the little princess from time to time. I thought, last time he might have left a bad impression on the little princess, what should I do about it.
Shen Mubai recognized him as the child who was with the fourth prince that day, took a look and then looked away.
Concubine Rong saw his small thoughts, but she didn't take it very seriously, she just stuffed him with some melons and fruits, "Go back and watch the dance."
Liu Yanzhi couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, but still said politely, "Thank you, Concubine Rong."
When he returned to his seat, Han Zichong next door curled his lips and said, "Liu Yanzhi, I think you are crazy, to run to Concubine Rong so boldly."
Liu Yanzhi was still thinking about that little face, and said absently, "Concubine Rong's family has a good relationship with our Liu family, why can't I go."
Han Zichong whispered, "You only dare to do this because your father is not here now."
He raised his head and glanced at the Ninth Princess over there, she was really a golden branch and jade leaf, many times more beautiful than his cousin.
"Fifth Prince, this servant wants to go to the toilet." The palace maid was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to make decisions as usual, and said cautiously.
Wen Renlai withdrew his gaze and said sideways, "Go."
He was sitting in a corner, and no one paid attention to him now except for the gazes of others who came in at the beginning.
He lowered his eyes slightly, but what he was thinking about was the look that the little princess looked at him just now, for some reason, he was inexplicably dazed.
"Fourth brother, my stomach hurts a little and I want to go to the bathroom, why don't you come with me." The sixth prince leaned over, first bowed to Concubine Li, then sneaked into the fourth prince's ear and said.
The fourth prince was a little fascinated by watching the dancer dance at the moment, and frowned impatiently when he heard this sentence, "Sixth brother, why don't you let the servant accompany you?"
The sixth prince gritted his teeth, implying that he looked at Wen Renlai's position.
Only then did the fourth prince come to his senses, and said after a pause, "Then I'll go with you."
