Zhai Chengwen and his group followed the housekeeper into the garden.

When they looked up, they immediately saw the bright yellow robe. The Third Prince, his wife, and the Sixth Prince were all stunned. They stood there blankly, unable to react for a while.

Why are Father and Mother here too?

The three of them wondered in their hearts at the same time, could it be that today was not just a birthday party for the crown prince and his wife?

The Third Prince and his wife exchanged a quick glance, and then both stepped forward and saluted to their father and mother: "Your son greets the father and the mother."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Sixth Prince also reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects.

The same was true for Zhai Chengwen and Madam Zhai.

"Alright, the Queen and I are just here for a banquet today, so you don't have to be so reserved when you're out there."

Emperor Li waved his hand and spoke in a calm tone.

"Yes, Father."

The Third Prince, his wife, and the Sixth Prince all answered at the same time.

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Zhai Shaoqing would also come. She thought that only a few princes and princesses would come.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxiao quietly tugged at Xie Xi's sleeve.

Xie Xi noticed her little movement and immediately lowered his head, staring at her with his eyes. He didn't say anything, but signaled with his eyes: What's the matter?

Lu Xiaoxiao acted like a thief. She blinked nervously at Xie Xi and said silently: "Your Highness, how many people did you invite over?"

[If I remember correctly, Your Highness and Zhai Shaoqing are not very familiar with each other, so why did Your Highness invite Zhai Shaoqing as well? It is impossible that Your Highness invited all the ministers, right? ]

Xie Xi: “…”

Xie Xi was instantly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This silly girl, how could he possibly invite all the ministers to a banquet? Not all the ministers were on his side.

When neither his father nor his mother noticed, Xie Xi suddenly grasped Lu Xiaoxiao's hand through his wide sleeves and gently scratched her palm with his slender fingers.

Lu Xiaoxiao: ???

Lu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and looked at Xie Xi in shock, speechless for a moment.

Xie Xi curled his lips silently and chuckled.

Little did they know that the little actions between the two had already been seen by Emperor Li and the Queen.

Xie Yue was somewhat envious of the close relationship between his brother the Crown Prince and his younger sister-in-law. Unlike him, he didn't know when he would be able to marry Princess Fan Qi.

Xie Yue silently cast a look full of resentment at Princess Fan Qi.

Princess Fan Qi:?

What happened to Prince Yue?

It was only when Xie Yue looked at him that Emperor Li noticed that the Seventh Princess of Fan Kingdom was also here. "I didn't expect that the Seventh Princess of Fan Kingdom would also come to the banquet."

"Fan Qi has met Emperor Li."

Princess Fan Qi leaned over and performed the Fan State salute to Emperor Li.

"No need to be polite."

Emperor Li's eyes moved back and forth between Princess Fan Qi and Xie Yue. Suddenly, he spoke again: "Yue'er, what do you think of Princess Fan Qi?"

The third prince narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: There have been rumors that the State of Fan wants to form an alliance with the State of Li. Does father really want the fifth prince to marry the seventh princess of the State of Fan?

The Sixth Prince was stunned for just a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Xie Yue:!!!

[Here it comes, His Majesty, is he going to arrange a marriage between the Fifth Prince and Princess Fan Qi today? ]

[I never thought that my birthday would be so lively. ]

[If His Majesty really decrees that the Fifth Brother and Princess Fan Qi get married, I'm afraid the Fifth Brother will be so happy that he will faint, right? ]

Xie Yue: “…”

Xie Xi: “…”

Emperor Li and Empress were speechless for a moment.

Originally, Emperor Li really had no such plan, but now after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's voice, he inexplicably felt that it would be a good idea to announce another happy event today?

After all, Yue'er is his biological son, and letting Yue'er marry a princess of a country is considered a good thing for him.
