"Isn't this... not good? If the madam is gone, where can I put the face of the madam?" Aunt Liu bit her lip as if she was a little confused, but in fact she was already happy in her heart.

"What's so difficult about this? Just declare to the outside world that Madam is in poor health for fear that she will neglect the palace, and you and Madam are like sisters, so why not accompany Madam to the Palace as a guest?" Shen Chusheng quickly told this matter The matter is settled.

Song Ruyu was the last to know the news.

When she heard a servant come to report that Shen Chusheng had let her pass, she thought she had heard wrongly. She must know that Shen Chusheng had not looked at her in the eye for almost ten years.

When Song Ruyu heard that the servant really wanted to let her go, she immediately had a vague hunch that nothing good would happen.

Sure enough, when Song Ruyu entered Shen Chusheng's bedroom, she saw not only Shen Chusheng, but Aunt Liu was also there.

To Song Ruyu's expectation, Aunt Liu stood up to greet her for the first time today, and even gave her the concubine's salute to the principal wife.

Song Ruyu helped her up, and then stood aside politely, not showing much intimacy with Aunt Liu. This made Aunt Liu, who was about to show her sisterly love, immediately feel a little embarrassed, and she had to reply in a sly voice. I got to my seat and sat down.

"I wonder if the master asked me to come here for something?" Song Ruyu bowed her head and asked politely.

"There is a letter from the palace, please read it." As soon as Shen Chusheng finished speaking, the boy on the side quickly handed Song Ruyu the invitation letter sent by the old princess today.

Hearing that it was the palace, Song Ruyu's heart tightened. Could it be that something happened to Shen Xinyue?

She quickly took the letter and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was only invited to attend the Buddha worship banquet.

"It's Master, I understand."

"Wait a minute," Shen Chusheng stopped Song Ruyu who was about to leave: "Look at what you are like now. You don't look like the mistress of the house. If you are allowed to be a guest in the palace like this, I don't know how much money you have to give to our Shen family. How much face is lost."

Shen Chusheng's face was full of disgust. When Song Ruyu heard his words, her heart did not waver. She just lowered her head in obedience and let him say it.

Song Ruyu's look of not caring about anything made Shen Chusheng even more angry.

However, thinking of his own purpose, he didn't say anything else and went straight to the point: "In this way, if Aunt Liu goes with you, you two can be taken care of and nothing will go wrong."

"Isn't this... not good?" Song Ruyu spoke up for the first time and resisted Shen Chusheng: "What the palace said was that I would only take the girls from the palace. If I bring more people, wouldn't it be against the rules?"

"Don't worry, sister. I will just follow my sister when the time comes. As long as I tell the outside world that I share your sympathy as a sister and volunteer to accompany you, no one will say anything." Aunt Liu quickly explained.

Song Ruyu wanted to say something more, but when her eyes touched Shen Chusheng, she still didn't dare to say anything more. She could only swallow the words she had not yet spoken and agreed to the matter.

Soon the palace received the news, and the news that Shen Chusheng asked Aunt Liu to accompany Song Ruyu to attend the Buddhist banquet also reached the palace.

"I really didn't expect that the Shen family's backyard is not so wonderful." After listening to Grandma Li's message, the old princess was so happy that she couldn't help but smile: "I'm even more looking forward to the Shen family's arrival now."

"Yes, Princess. As far as I know, Aunt Liu and her daughter are not economical lamps. If it weren't for their behind-the-scenes operations, Shen Xinyue would not have such a bad reputation. When they come, Shen Xinyue will have such a bad reputation. Xinyue feels better." Nanny Li quickly flattered the old princess.

"As expected, he is a despicable businessman. A concubine can ride on the head of his legitimate daughter, and she is even better than his legitimate daughter in every aspect." The old princess raised her eyes contemptuously.

Although she said she disliked Shen Xinyue very much, as a royal wife, she hated the idea of ​​doting on concubines and destroying wives from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, now that everything has been arranged, go and inform the prince." The old princess waved her hand and sent Nanny Li away.

At this time, Shen Xinyue was walking in the yard boredly. She was a little surprised to see Nanny Li coming.

What happened again? Why did she come suddenly?

Although she was curious, Shen Xinyue had no intention of asking. Instead, she stood quietly and waited for Grandma Li to come by herself.

At this moment, Huo Weilou came back from outside. When he saw Nanny Li standing in front of him, he frowned almost invisible and asked aloud: "Why is Nanny here? Is it from the concubine's side?" What's matter?"

Nanny Li was originally thinking about how she could give Shen Xinyue a blow when she walked up to her side. Suddenly, Huo Weilou's voice came from behind and startled her.

She quickly turned around and saluted Huo Weilou: "My lord, it's nothing serious. It's just that the old princess thought that it would be the Buddha's birthday in a few days, so she wanted to hold a Buddhist banquet in a remote courtyard. Then she thought about the princess's journey all the way from the south of the Yangtze River. She must have been very reluctant to leave her family behind when she got married, so the old princess took this opportunity to invite the princess’s family over. Isn’t that why I was specifically asked to inform the princess.”

"Buddha banquet?" Huo Weilou glanced at Shen Xinyue, and then asked: "Why is the mother-in-law so interested?"

"It's not that she's interested, it's just that the old princess said that it's a pity that the princess is not familiar with the place here, so she specially used an excuse to let the princess meet her family. Our house will also take the opportunity to be lively."

While Nanny Li was talking, Shen Xinyue also came over.

"My family members? Who are they?"

Shen Xinyue looked at Nanny Li doubtfully.

If the old princess was really out of sympathy for herself, Shen Xinyue would never believe it, but since she sent someone to retaliate, she must not be lying.

The only possibility is that the old princess is holding back something bad.

Shen Xinyue thought of Shen Fengjiao almost immediately. Could it be that the old princess wanted to use Shen Fengjiao against herself?

"Back to the princess, the old princess thought that the princess was lonely, so she specially brought over several concubines from your family, and then accompanied her by the madam and Aunt Liu from the house." Although the tone of Nanny Li's words was very serious when she said this He was respectful, but the gloating in his eyes could not be hidden.

Aunt Liu...

Shen Xinyue didn't expect that there would be her.

Shen Xinyue had already seen it the last time she went home. Although Shen Fengjiao had many bad intentions, she was still powerless and had nothing to fear. The one who was really making suggestions for her and always working against her was Aunt Liu. .

Reminiscent of the fact that the original owner was a legitimate young lady, but she held the title of idiot, and Song Ruyu was directly dismissed as the wife of the Shen family. We can also know that Aunt Liu is not easy to deal with.

The old princess asked people to pick up Aunt Liu, Shen Fengjiao and others. This idea could be said to be Sima Zhao's intention. Everyone on the street knew it, but Shen Xinyue couldn't point it out, otherwise Song Ruyu would still suffer the loss. Since she To live in Shen Xinyue's place, we must not harm her mother.

Huo Weilou's eyes seemed to pass over Shen Xinyue's face unintentionally, taking in all the confusion on her face. Then he said: "Please go back and report back to the concubine, saying that the princess does not understand Buddhism." , there is no point in sitting at this kind of banquet, and it makes the mother and concubine look bad. In addition, the princess has not yet visited the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother since her marriage to the king, so I want to take the princess to the palace in the next few days. The palace pays a courtesy visit to the Queen Mother, so..."

"No, mama, just tell mother and concubine that I will go. As for meeting the Queen Mother... we haven't decided on a date yet, so it won't hurt to postpone it for a few days."

Huo Weilou was interrupted by Shen Xinyue before he could finish his words of rejection. He looked at Shen Xinyue in confusion and didn't understand why she agreed to this request. Isn't Shen Xinyue the least likely to like trouble?

"Yes, then I will go back and tell the old princess." Nanny Li left with a smile after receiving Shen Xinyue's answer.

After seeing her walk away from Huo Wei Building, he walked to the stone bench and sat down on the stone bench and asked Shen Xinyue: "You don't have to go at all, why do you have to deal with all this."

Shen Xinyue rolled her eyes at Huo Weilou and said angrily: "Why don't you go? Since she has set up the stage and has called all my family members over, wouldn't it be unfair if I refuse at this time? Has anyone’s hard work been in vain?”

"If you don't want to go, no one can force you."

"I didn't say whether I wanted to go or not. Why do you keep telling me not to go?" Shen Xinyue looked up at Huo Weilou suspiciously, then her eyes suddenly widened as if she had thought of something and she said: "You are Didn't you hear that Shen Fengjiao was coming and you were afraid that she would be bullied because she was no match for me, so you kept blocking me?"

Huo Weilou gave Shen Xinyue a helpless look, but before he could speak, Shen Xinyue continued:

"No wonder I felt weird when you went to Shen's Mansion with me last time. Did you fall in love with Shen Fengjiao at that time? In the end, it was me who was in your way. She went to the study that night. I shouldn't have appeared at that time."

After Shen Xinyue finished speaking, she looked at Huo Weilou as if she already knew everything.

Huo Weilou was helpless, but he didn't know what he was thinking just now. He just didn't want Shen Xinyue to experience these troublesome things for no reason. If possible, he even wanted Shen Xinyue to not have to face anything every day. Just live the life you want leisurely, while he just stands aside and watches...

Why did he think so far away? Huo Weilou shook his head slightly and threw all those strange thoughts out of his mind.

"What's wrong with you? You feel guilty because I told you right?" Shen Xinyue looked at Huo Weilou's sudden and abnormal loss of consciousness, and felt more and more that her guess was very accurate.

Huo Weilou didn't know what to say, so he simply stopped talking.

"Ignore me, right? It's boring, I'd better go back to the room." After Shen Xinyue said that, she jumped back to the bedroom.

Huo Weilou looked at Shen Xinyue's leaving figure and thought of his inexplicable thoughts just now, and felt extremely ridiculous.

"Huo Xing." Huo Weilou called out, wanting to ask him if he knew what was wrong with him, but he still held back the words.

"My subordinate is here, what's wrong with the prince?"

"Have you heard that the old princess is preparing a Buddhist banquet? I'm worried that the princess won't be able to handle it. Remember to arrange for more people to follow the princess secretly during this period to help her deal with the trouble."

In the next few days, the entire palace was busy with the Buddhist banquet.

Lan Qingruo, who was confined to her own yard, seemed out of tune with everyone's busyness.

"Hey, what are you busy with? You are all running so fast." Lan Qingruo stopped a servant at the door of the yard and asked.

"Back to Madam, the old princess wants to hold a Buddhist banquet in another courtyard. We are preparing the things for the Buddhist banquet."
