"?" Wu Sheyue was left with a question mark on her face. Did she think that the whole world was as vulgar as her because she wanted to curry favor with the powerful and dreamed of becoming a queen? I’ve learned a lot!
Soon, the other daughters of the Wu family came and sat at the banquet.
Wu Yin'er remained silent, and Wu Jinghua also had a straight face. Only Wu Lixiang's face was red when she came over, and she looked happier than any of them. It seemed that she had finally made friends with high-ranking officials and nobles.
Wu Sheyue discovered that Wu Lixiang's face, which was covered with a lot of white powder, had lost all her makeup, but it looked a lot normal like this, except that a few red dots were vaguely visible.
Wu Liuyun listened to the sounds behind him and felt very contempt for those concubines. Why not let these lowly people go home? The palace and the banquet should belong to the real nobles like them.
After everyone in the hall took their seats, the noise gradually subsided. Wu Sheyue knew that this was probably the aura of the real master who was about to appear.
However, before she saw the legendary emperor, she suddenly saw an old acquaintance - Xin Zhi.
The boy's hands were wrapped in thick gauze, but he raised his head proudly and was helped by two palace maids to his seat.
Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows. He had stabbed his hand badly. Didn't he also chop off his feet and IQ
Xin Zhi's position didn't seem to be taken very seriously, and he was also at the back among the princes. In fact, Yu Jing was able to pass over many princes and sit near the prince.
Wu Liuyun also saw Xin Zhi. She turned around with a smile again and said, "Third sister, if you really care about the royal family, the eighth prince is a good choice. I can help you talk about it."
Wu Lixiang couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Even Wu Jinghua's cold face had a smile.
Wu Sheyue was already tired of this topic, so she raised her voice and started talking like a barrage of words: "The Eighth Prince admires my eldest sister. It's not easy for me to win people's love. I also want to be beautiful as an adult, and I also want to help the eldest sister and the Eighth Prince." The prince is busy. How much the eighth prince loves my eldest sister! How much the eighth prince likes—"
"Shut up!" Seeing someone next to him looking over here, Wu Liuyun panicked, "Stop spreading rumors about me!" She actually forgot that Wu Sheyue was someone who didn't act according to common sense.
"Exactly." Wu Sheyue said with a smile: "Sister, have you created too many rumors?"
Anyway, everyone is tearing each other up every day, so what will happen if we tear each other up a few more times today? Anyway, these people will pretend nothing happened for the sake of their own interests~
Wu Liuyun showed a rare ferocious expression, and she whispered coldly: "I will talk to the Queen Mother about today's matter!" Wu Liuyun was angered by Wu Sheyue's hookup with the prince, and she was determined not to let it go. This bitch!
"Oh." Wu Sheyue was not afraid at all. She also approached Wu Liuyun and said word by word: "By the way, I will tell the Queen Mother about Princess Xin Yue's words and bring the Prince out to prove that the princess was beaten."
Wu Jinghua's eyes rolled slightly, and she looked at Wu Sheyue with some anxiety. So... was what she heard before true? Did Wu Sheyue really ask the prince to take care of both Xin Yue and Tian Anran? !
Wu Liuyun was stunned, and Wu Sheyue blinked her big eyes and said innocently: "If you still want the prince to like you, don't cause trouble for him. It's easy to catch me out, and it's easy for me to catch him out. In such a big scene, you Said... The emperor doesn't want to see his son and daughter in a mess~"
Wu Liuyun said nothing, she just looked at Wu Sheyue hatefully.
Wu Lixiang on the side was a little confused, as if she didn't know what they were talking about. Just when she opened her mouth hesitantly, she heard the eunuch shouting loudly: "The Emperor has arrived—"
In an instant, everyone who was talking stopped talking, and everyone stood up to straighten their clothes. Wu Sheyue also stood up quickly.
The officials and their families all saluted together. Wu Sheyue had learned these etiquette movements, and the words he said were nothing more than "Long live long live long live" and "Thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand thousand years old". She didn't want to shout along, so she just lip-synced.
After that, it was so quiet in the hall that you could hear a pin drop. Wu Sheyue bent over and lowered her head, unable to help but want to look up curiously. Speaking of which, the last time she saw the emperor was the mummified corpse in a museum, and she still didn't know what the living emperor looked like.
After a while, a rich male voice above said kindly: "Okay, okay, sit down. The Queen Mother is the protagonist of today's banquet."
It seemed that the emperor was in a good mood, so everyone relaxed and sat down again.
Wu Sheyue looked over and saw that Emperor Long Fu turned out to be a middle-aged man with a tall figure. He has black hair on the temples and an angular face. Although he has gone through many changes, there are no signs of aging. This is very different from the image of Wu Sheyue with a big belly in his mind.
On the left side of the emperor is the Queen Mother, who was absolutely tall and outstanding when she was young! Even though she is old now, she is not much shorter than the emperor. The Queen Mother didn't have many wrinkles on her face, and she looked much younger wearing a splendid peony dress.
The queen on the right side of the emperor looked like a young woman in her early thirties. She was dressed in bright red and had a phoenix crown and a bun. She was very glamorous.
Wu Sheyue lamented that the royal gene was good, and it would still be useful for the emperor to search for some beauties. Tsk tsk, it stands to reason that the prince is already in his twenties, why don't they grow old? Is it possible that a person who shouts "Longevity" every day can really live a long life
The Queen Mother looked down at the numerous concubines, princes, officials and their families. She seemed to be feeling a little and said: "Hey, the number of people attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet is getting more and more every year, but the Ai family is getting older. I have occupied the Hundred Flowers Banquet for so many years. , it will be up to the queen to find a solution in the future."
The queen smiled and said: "Mother, you are not old, so you should be in charge for another ten or eight years, and then you can think of passing it on to me."
The emperor was very satisfied with this harmony, but Wu Sheyue shrugged, clearly indicating that the queen mother only meant it. If the queen really took the trouble, she would cause trouble. Hey~ Men are men, and they can't see such a simple psychological warfare.
"Everyone is here?" The emperor glanced briefly at the heirs and ministers at his feet, and felt as if he was sitting in a prosperous age.
Xin Yu suddenly stood up, "Father, Yue'er is not feeling well today. She is lying in the palace. She said she would wait and come over."
When he said this, many people looked at each other, which meant a lot.
The emperor probably hadn't heard anything about it yet, so he said nonchalantly: "Tell her to have a good rest. Don't force her too much."
Seeing Xin Yu, Wu Sheyue suddenly thought, why did Tian Anran stay so calm without complaining? That woman is stupid and straight, so she should continue to cause trouble, right? She searched around and soon saw that Tian Anran had changed into new clothes and was sitting low-key in the banquet.
Wu Sheyue squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and found that she was also staring at the prince with love
Wu Sheyue suddenly realized that... what Xin Yu said "I'll go take a look" was to see Tian Anran! This is fine!
The prince beat his sister, but he didn't want to offend the emperor, so he naturally wanted to comfort the initial victim of the incident~ Anyway, the prince's charm is, a few words are very convenient, especially when he has "lost his virginity" and is worried that he will not be able to marry. This effective and quick move is indeed a smart one.
Tsk, and now two of Long Fu's four beauties have fallen in love with the prince, which is interesting. Wu Sheyue chuckled, isn't internal strife just around the corner

After carefully observing these three outstanding figures, the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother, Wu Sheyue focused on eating. There was lively chatting and laughter above, and singing and dancing in front, but none of them were as tempting as the delicious food in front of them.
Although the food in my west courtyard has improved, it is still incomparable to that in the palace. What is this called in the play... palace meal
Wu Sheyue didn't bother to waste time by asking Ning'er to prepare the dishes for her, so she asked her to put down her hands, lift up the veil with one hand, and eat happily.
Wu Jinghua looked at Wu Sheyue next to him and couldn't help but rolled his eyes angrily.
Wu Jinghua came here once last year. That time, in order not to let others see that she had not eaten anything good, she did not dare to eat at all. So when she left, the food on the table was almost untouched.
Now seeing how happy Wu Sheyue was when she came here for the first time, she actually regretted it...
Seeing Wu Yin'er asking Bilan to pick up food for her, Wu Jinghua couldn't help it anymore. She muttered in a low voice with great disdain: "Ha, I really haven't seen the world. Shame on you!"
Wu Sheyue picked up a piece of fish gracefully and said with a smile: "Hey, it's even more ridiculous for some people to pretend to have seen the world when they have never seen it. It's even more ridiculous for me to expose them after they have finished pretending." As he said, Put the fish meat into your mouth.
Wu Jinghua was angry and glanced sideways at Qing Xing. Qing Xing quickly gave her food.

The people in power above were chatting and began to mention Wu Liuyun. The Queen Mother looked down and saw Wu Liuyun who was drinking tea, and immediately called out: "Girl Liuyun, come quickly and ask the Ai family to take a look."
As the first rich lady to be mentioned by the Empress Dowager, it shows Wu Liuyun's status and reputation in Longfu over the years.
When the Queen Mother called people like this, many girls looked at Wu Liuyun with some jealousy. It's her every time, but how can anyone else get ahead...
"Yes." Wu Liuyun immediately stood up gracefully.
She enjoyed the jealous eyes of others, but she was very proud in her heart. She knew that her status was incomparable to that of Long Fu's princess! She is part of the Higher One!
The Queen Mother seemed to love Wu Liuyun very much. She happily called Wu Liuyun to the front and said to the Queen: "We haven't seen each other for these few days. This girl Liuyun is getting more and more beautiful. Why don't you bring her into the palace? You can also accompany her." Stay with me, this old lady.”
The Queen nodded, "As long as the Queen likes it, but we should also ask the girl what she means. How do we know which prince Liu Yun has chosen, so don't get him wrong."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Wu Liuyun as if she was really asking. Wu Liuyun lowered his head shyly and said, "Queen Mother, please stop teasing me." (To be continued)
