The young eunuch usually went to receive officials, so it was a bit strange for him to come to the female relatives, which attracted the attention of people around him.

He walked up to An Muxi and said, "Is this Master An from the Rui Palace?"

An Muxi nodded blankly.

The young eunuch said respectfully, "I am Xiao Shunzi, the second-class eunuch beside His Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince Rui specially asked me to pick you up. Please greet the master and get on the sedan chair."

An Muxi felt a little warm in her heart. In fact, Li Rui didn't need to do this at all. So many female relatives walked there together. Nothing would happen on the surface.

But since the sedan was already in front of her, she didn't say anything and got into it directly.

The women around started gossiping again.

"That little eunuch is by His Majesty's side. Who is this woman?"

"Didn't I hear that little eunuch say that she is the master of Prince Rui's mansion? Maybe she is one of Prince Rui's concubines?"

"But doesn't Prince Rui have only one concubine? Is she new to the palace? That's why we haven't seen her yet."

"Maybe, but why didn't King Rui take that one?"

Everyone took a quick glance at the most dazzling person in the crowd, and saw Xu Wanying walking forward quickly with a sullen face.

The prince is going too far. She, a concubine, doesn't even have a sedan chair, so how can An Muxi, a concubine, ride in a sedan chair?

This made her feel very embarrassed. She could only keep her head down and walk quickly forward.

There was another person who also had a grim expression on her face, that was Bai Yueli. She also noticed that An Muxi was taken away by a sedan chair.

Her father and mother both went in in sedan chairs, her brother, as the prince, also had a sedan chair, and her sister Wan'er, as the princess, also went in in a sedan chair, but she could only walk in.

As a result, I met this annoying woman. I didn’t expect that she could also enter in the sedan chair. Could she really be the concubine of Prince Rui?

She was so angry that she pulled the handkerchief in her hand, thinking that when she became the Crown Princess, she would have the chance to deal with her too!

When An Muxi arrived at the banquet hall, some people were already sitting inside. Those who arrived early came in sedan chairs. They were all high-ranking officials and ladies of the imperial court at the center of power.

The seats are also relatively forward. On the left side of the hall are the seats for women, and on the right side are the seats for men.

An Muxi quickly found Lu Qingxue's seat and sat down next to her. The two chatted casually, and Lu Qingxue introduced her to a few familiar ladies.

When some people heard that An Muxi was just King Rui's concubine, some showed contempt, while others showed confusion.

I couldn't understand why King Rui would let a concubine attend the palace banquet. Some people also greeted him politely.

But no matter what the other party did, An Muxi responded very appropriately, which surprised Lu Qingxue a little.

As luck would have it, the women of the Ningguo Mansion were located next to the Rui Wang Mansion. Bai Yueli hadn't arrived yet, and the Duke's wife, Wu, saw the Rui Wang Consort next to them and came over to greet her politely.

When she saw An Muxi, she was stunned for a moment. She felt that this girl looked familiar. An Muxi just nodded and smiled at her politely. She didn't say anything. She also gave An Muxi a friendly smile in return.

An Muxi thought that you probably wouldn’t be able to laugh when Bai Yueli comes.

At this time, the emperor, empress, princes, concubines and Dai Meng had not arrived yet.

Lu Qingxue quietly said to An Muxi: "You have to be careful today and stay with me. Li Rui specifically asked me to take good care of you."

An Muxi nodded: "I understand. I feel safe with you."

Lu Qingxue raised her eyebrows: "Don't you feel safe being with Li Rui?"

An Muxi was speechless. Really not.

"He is different from you." Lu Qingxue observed a moment of silence for Li Rui.

An Muxi thought of something and gave a few instructions to Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue behind her.

"One of you will keep an eye on Concubine Xu and her maid, and the other one will keep an eye on Bai Yueli. I'm afraid they will do something weird to me today."

The two nodded solemnly. Today was a big occasion and they must not let anything happen to their master. Otherwise, the prince would skin them alive.

At this time, the people who were walking behind also arrived one after another.

Bai Yueli arrived at the table next to Lady Wu, the wife of the Duke of Ningguo, and saw An Muxi sitting at the table next to her. She glared at An Muxi angrily, and then said to Lady Wu, "Mother, it was that bad woman who crashed into my carriage last time."

The voice was neither loud nor soft, and An Muxi also heard it. Wu looked at An Muxi in surprise, knowing that she was from the Rui Palace and must not be offended. She also had a hunch that this woman was not that kind of person.

I had to whisper, "Don't talk nonsense. You can't be willful again today. If something happens, your father will punish you again."

Bai Yueli pouted and said angrily: "Father doesn't love me anymore."

Mrs. Wu comforted her daughter: "How could that be? He is doing this for your own good. If he doesn't love you, how could your last incident be suppressed?"

Bai Yueli thought of something and asked excitedly, "Mother, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ask for permission to marry me this time?"

Wu was also unsure, so she comforted him, "Mother doesn't know either. Don't worry. Hasn't the prince always liked you?"

Bai Yueli muttered, "He hasn't looked for me since I fell into the water last time. The prince must be angry."

An Muxi didn't want to listen to gossip at first, but she couldn't stand being too close, and that stupid woman was talking so loudly.

She wanted to laugh in her heart. Didn't the prince know what it meant that he hadn't looked for her for so long? The royal family was the most concerned about face, and the choice of the crown princess couldn't possibly have any scandals.

She is the future mother of the nation, yet Bai Yueli, with her petty and vindictive character, still wants to be the Crown Princess.

It was only because she had done good deeds in her previous life that she was born into a good family. No matter what, she would be rich and prosperous all her life.

It seems that the prince has already shifted his target, but Bai Yueli is still indulging in self-indulgence.

An Muxi found that Xu Wanying had not arrived yet, and asked Lu Qingxue curiously: "Why hasn't Concubine Xu arrived yet?"

Lu Qingxue sneered: "She probably went to see her good aunt again. You better be careful. Her aunt is not a good person."

An Muxi was secretly alert in her heart. She had watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" dozens of times and read a lot of palace fighting novels. She knew the dirty things in the palace very well.

If anyone dares to attack her today, don't blame her for being rude.

Soon, the emperor and empress entered with the princes and concubines above the rank of imperial concubine. Dai Meng also entered with the empress.

An Muxi secretly glanced up, really curious about what a living emperor looked like.

The emperor was wearing a dark blue robe with nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on it. He was wearing a golden crown and was about 40 years old. He had the dignity and bearing of a superior, and he was indeed a handsome uncle.

The man next to him wearing a light golden dragon robe should be the prince, he is probably in his twenties and very handsome. It has to be said that the royal family of Tiansheng Kingdom all have good looks.

The other three adult princes were wearing black dragon robes embroidered with four-clawed golden dragons. It was quite strange for An Muxi to see Li Yian wearing a dragon robe for the first time.

Usually he only likes to wear dark blue gowns, which are very elegant and refined. Now, wearing the dragon robe that represents his status, he looks even more dignified.

Suddenly she met the gaze of the person above her and saw Li Rui looking at her unhappily.

She felt a little guilty and quickly looked away. She felt as embarrassed as if her affair had been discovered.

At this time, Xu Wanying was seen standing behind a beautiful palace concubine, and there was a young woman beside her.

Xu Wanying was looking at An Muxi provocatively, with ill intentions on her face.

An Muxi was a little speechless. That person must be Xu Wanying's aunt, Concubine Li. It seemed that Xu Wanying was going to die today.
