After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 401: The Second Prince's Aunt

Logically speaking, Xu Jinren had made a great contribution this time, so there shouldn't be any blind people who would come and cause trouble for him, but Princess Ning still didn't dare to relax.

You know, it's easy to avoid an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. If a girl is hit by an attack without paying attention, it will ruin her life.

She continued muttering and giving instructions for a long time. Yuxiu and Xu Lewan looked at each other and nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I promise to accompany Sister Yuxiu all the time today and never let her act alone."

Xu Lewan made a solemn promise, and Yuxiu also said that she would not run around, and Princess Ning finally felt relieved.

At this moment, there were more and more carriages at the palace gate, and more and more people were coming.

The advantage of having someone in the court to get things done was reflected at this time.

As soon as the people from Prince Ning's mansion walked over, several palace maids with familiar faces came up.

"Greetings to the masters, the queen has specially sent servants to pick you up."

These palace maids were all from Concubine Jing's palace, and the old princess and the others were familiar with them, so they did not delay any longer and followed them after a few polite words.

At a banquet like this, Concubine Jing has no time to entertain her family.

So the palace maids led the people through many twists and turns and soon arrived at a side hall.

There were already several ladies they were familiar with waiting here, serving them good tea and snacks, which were treatments only available to those who had connections in the palace.

The group from Prince Ning's mansion waited here for a long time before someone came over to greet them and said that the banquet was about to begin. The family was then taken to a bustling hall.

Yuxiu remained quiet throughout the journey. Apart from muttering a few words from time to time, she basically didn't say much and had no sense of presence.

Only when she actually walked into the palace did she realize that a large-scale palace banquet like this one was truly spectacular.

As for what I had seen on TV in my previous life, they were nothing more than carefully arranged small banquets.

Prince Ning's Mansion was the main attraction of the banquet, so when they came in, many ladies stood up and greeted them with a smile.

Yuxiu had never seen most of these people before, so she didn't feel any psychological burden. She followed Xu Lewan and stood aside obediently with a perfect smile on her face.

He was polite when he should be polite and called people when he should. With Xu Lewan leading the way, nothing went wrong.

After all the hustle and bustle, the banquet hadn't even started yet and Yuxiu was already feeling a little bored.

But soon, she stopped talking about boredom.

"This girl looks unfamiliar. If I'm not mistaken, she should be the newly found daughter of the third wife in the mansion?"

A shrill female voice sounded, and Yuxiu reflexively sensed her ill intentions and looked up at her.

I saw that this was a lady who looked to be around thirty years old. She was dressed in a very luxurious and dazzling manner. It was obvious that she was from a wealthy and powerful family.

"I saw her today and she is indeed a lovely girl..."

The noble lady changed the subject, looked at Yuxiu with a smile, and said:

"Tsk tsk tsk... You can't tell that she came back from the countryside. If I didn't know, I would have thought she was carefully raised by you..."

The ladies standing nearby shut up after hearing this. It was such a nice day, but they had to bring up something irrelevant. Wasn't this just looking for trouble?

"Children just learn quickly. They don't deserve Mrs. Guan's praise."

The old princess replied indifferently, without even looking at her, and took her people to sit in the seats that had been arranged in advance.

"Don't pay attention to her, Sister Yuxiu. She is the Second Prince's aunt, and she has always been at odds with Prince Ning's Mansion."

Knowing that Yuxiu didn't know this person, Xu Lewan came over and whispered a few words to her.

"You don't know, this person is very close to that family. Some people said before that Xu Letie was going to marry into the Guan family, but the marriage didn't happen later..."

This was not the place to talk about gossip, so Xu Le briefly and concisely explained the general relationships between the characters and reminded Yuxiu to stay away from this family.

As for the family she was talking about, it was of course Xu Jinran and Qin's couple. Don't worry, Sister Wan'er.

"Don't worry, Sister Wan'er. I understand."

When Yuxiu heard the name Madam Guan, she was already mentally prepared.

After listening to Xu Lewan's words again, he finally understood everything.

It seems that Madam Guan has a good relationship with Qin. She deliberately mentioned the fact that she came back from the countryside on such an occasion, just to embarrass people in public.

This is her confidence as a relative of the prince. If it were someone else, he would not dare to be the first to jump out and be scolded.

But she did miscalculate one thing. To Yuxiu, what's wrong with being a country boy?

To be honest, some people's quality is not even as good as that of the country people.

So, sorry, Yuxiu doesn’t feel embarrassed at all.

The old princess and the others didn't care about this. They didn't even give her an extra glance and just continued talking to others.

Mrs. Guan had never been ignored before, so she immediately became unhappy.

However, although she wanted to vent the anger of the Qin family, she did not dare to really break off relations with the people in the Ning Palace. She could only sit there sullenly, looking at the people in the Ning Palace angrily.

Those who can come to such occasions are all shrewd people. Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, everyone quickly changed the topic and started talking about the new things that happened in the past few days.

The main problem is that the Seventh Prince of Beidi and Princess Huizhu have no idea what it means to be low-key.

However, in just a few days, they almost ran all over the capital.

There were already a lot of people paying attention to them, and now it has become a topic of conversation after dinner.

"The Emperor has arrived..."

Amidst the clamor, a palace servant shouted loudly. As the voice fell, the huge banquet hall seemed to have been paused and fell silent in an instant.

Then everyone bowed and greeted each other. Feeling a few burning gazes coming from above her head, Yuxiu secretly looked up and glanced.

The first thing that caught my eye was a figure wearing bright yellow, who looked to be no more than 40 years old. He was sitting there happily and seemed to have a good personality.

There were also several women with extraordinary temperament sitting behind him. Each of them was beautiful and elegant. They must be the nobles in the harem.

Everyone lowered their heads at this moment, and Yuxiu was a little afraid of attracting the emperor's attention, so she just took a quick glance and quickly lowered her head.

But soon, she felt several burning gazes coming from above her head, which made her feel as if her scalp was tingling.
