Soon, Aunt Deng and Shen Tangqi walked into the hall.

"This servant greets the prince and princess."

"I pay my respects to my father, the king, and my mother."

King Gongxuan said expressionlessly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, father."

After Shen Tangqi stood up straight, he looked at Shen Hanrui and Shen Tangyu again: "Sister, third brother."

The two ignored him.

The princess was helpless. These two children were doing this again?

Shen Hanrui felt the look in her mother's eyes and said calmly, "Yes, second brother."

Shen Tangyu also said: "Second brother."

However, the two of them did not stand up, they remained seated and just nodded to them.

They are the children of the principal wife, so even if the children born out of wedlock are older than them, it is okay for them not to get up.

Shen Tangqi looked a little unhappy when he saw this.

Last time, they didn't give them face in front of outsiders, and they won't give them face this time either.

Who would take him seriously with these guests?

King Gongxuan noticed that the atmosphere was not right and asked, "What's the matter, you two?"

Shen Tangqi came back to his senses and said seriously, "I heard that there were guests in the mansion, so I wanted to come over to meet them."

Aunt Deng said shyly, "I haven't seen the prince for a long time, so I asked my son to bring me here. Will the prince blame us?"

Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. This Aunt Deng seemed to be thinking something. She spoke first and blocked the way.

Sure enough, King Gongxuan did not chase her away for Shen Tangqi's sake, "Since you are here, let's eat together. The food will be served soon."

Aunt Deng was instantly delighted, bowed respectfully, and quickly sat down in her seat.

Shen Tangqi: "Thank you, father, thank you, mother."

Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. In the books she had read before, concubines in Xuanling Kingdom were not qualified to sit at the same table with the mistress. They could only stand at the side and serve.

It was probably because Aunt Deng gave birth to Shen Tangqi, and Shen Tangqi was the only male in the palace who was related to Prince Gongxuan by blood, so Prince Gongxuan gave face to Shen Tangqi.

The princess obviously knew what Prince Gongxuan was thinking. She suddenly looked at Song Hexiu and said apologetically, "Aman's father, I'm sorry to bother you. You didn't come last time. Let me introduce you. This is Shen Tangqi, the prince's second son, born to Aunt Deng."

Song Hexiu stood up and said politely, "Second Master, Aunt Deng."

"No need to stand up, just sit down and talk." The princess looked at Shen Tangqi again, "This is Mr. Song, Song Hexiu, the father of these children."

Shen Tangyu nodded and asked, "I wonder where Mr. Song is doing?"

Song Hexiu didn't shy away, "I'm currently studying and just took the children's exam."

Aunt Deng immediately felt contemptuous.

At such an old age, he actually just took part in the children's exam?

She also had someone investigate the background of these children after they left last time.

He is just a fisherman's child.

I heard that Song Hexiu is already 28 years old this year, but has achieved nothing.

The children taught by this school probably won’t be that good.

Thinking of this, she didn't have a good look towards Song Chuman and the others.

However, considering that the prince and princess were still here, she didn't do anything too obvious.

However, children are the most sensitive and they also sensed Aunt Deng's dislike for them, so they didn't show much expression to her.

Song Hexiu was not a fool and could see the contempt in Aunt Deng's eyes.

But he didn't take it seriously.

He has seen this expression many times over the years.
