When the banquet was held at Prince Rui's mansion, Yan Yu went there quickly.

Yan Yu was a little surprised because Wei Ruxuan not only invited himself, but also invited people from the Shao family.

Yan Yu's two cousins-in-law, Shao Junliang's and Shao Junshou's wives, Luo and Zhang, all came.

The Shao family was also a famous aristocratic family in the Wei Dynasty. If Madam Shao came to such an occasion, her status would indeed be comparable to that of some princesses, dukes and wives.

Luo and Zhang, the two daughters-in-law of lower generation, had little influence here. After all, the people they saw were either princesses, dukes, or ladies of the first or second rank. They were quiet and didn't say or do much.

Yan Yu then came before Luo and Zhang.

Luo and Yan Yu told a happy story. A concubine in the family gave birth to a boy, who was brought to Luo's house to be raised as soon as he was born.

Zhang smiled and said, "My sister-in-law originally wanted to ask the princess to come and see her, but she felt that the child was nothing and not worth the princess's visit."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Since it's my sister-in-law who's raising him, I'll go check it out some other day."

Zhang lowered her voice and said, "The mother of Princess Rui gave birth to a boy two months ago. It was not easy for her to have such an old age. Not long after her boy was born, the two sons of the Wei family died one after another. One fell off a horse and died, and the other died in an accidental fall into the water."

Yan Yu didn't react at first to who Prince Rui was, but then he remembered that Xiao Jiashan was named Prince Rui and Wei Ruxuan was the Princess of Rui.

Yan Yu looked over and saw that Wei Ruxuan's biological mother, Liu, had also come. Liu looked very proud, with a rosy face.

She had no son before and raised a son born to a concubine. Now that the Wei family had a legitimate son and Wei Ruxuan became the princess of a county, Liu became very proud and spoke in a very loud voice.

Princess Xianyi also came here out of friendship. When she saw Yan Yu here, she stepped forward and exchanged a few words with him.

Yan Yu hadn't seen Princess Xianyi for a while, and was surprised to see how much thinner she had become. "Why did the princess suddenly become so thin?"

Princess Xianyi smiled helplessly.

She is purely mentally ill.

The emperor used to trust her and thought she was reliable. But after the incident with Liang Qingxue, the emperor felt that Princess Xianyi's words were not so true, so he did not pay much attention to her as a sister.

Princess Xianyi couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of this.

In addition to this, Liang Qingxue and Liang Qingxue's parents insisted that the reason why Liang Qingxue did not become the concubine of Prince Qin was that Princess Xianyi must have played tricks in front of the emperor and said bad things about her.

All the relatives of the Liang family actually believed Liang Qingxue's words. In addition, each family felt that Princess Xianyi did not take enough care of them. The princess did not bring many benefits to the Liang family, so they were very dissatisfied.

Princess Xianyi is now in a difficult situation and is extremely depressed.

A little bit of kindness will be followed by a big bit of resentment. After this experience, she finally saw what kind of people Liang Qingxue's family was.

What bothered Princess Xianyi the most was that Liang Qingxue's parents went to the princess's mansion every now and then to scold her, and forced her to find a good marriage for Liang Qingxue, either as a princess or to marry into a duke's family.

Where does Princess Xianyi get her abilities from?

Her son and daughter found out about this and tried to stand up for her, but were accused of being unfilial by their uncles and cousins.

The more Princess Xianyi thought about it, the more hateful she became. She had no power, was estranged from the Emperor, and had a rift with the Empress Dowager. Even if she wanted to stir up trouble, she couldn't do much.

The only thing she could do was to rely on her good eloquence to complain to the ladies of the families with whom she had a good relationship, and to rant about her experiences over the past few months.

Didn’t Liang Qingxue feel that Princess Xianyi was two-faced and spoke ill of her behind her back?

Princess Xianyi had never done this before, but since she would have to bear this bad reputation anyway, she might as well do it for real.

These rumors always spread the fastest in the capital. Now almost everyone knows that Liang Qingxue is an ungrateful and ungrateful person, and he ignores the dirty tricks between family members and secretly tries to please the Zheng family.

Some families who cared more about appearance and family background than family background had never thought of marrying her. Once this matter spread, other families who valued a girl's personality and character rather than her family background also excluded Liang Qingxue from the scope of marriage.

Princess Xianyi held Yan Yu's hand and sat down: "It's been hot recently... I can't eat anything, and I've slowly lost weight. These two are--"

Yan Yu introduced Luo and Zhang to Princess Xianyi.

Princess Xianyi smiled and said, "Your two sisters-in-law seem to be well-educated and well-mannered, and their wives are both so good. No wonder others say that the Shao family has a clean and upright family tradition."

Over there, Wei Ruxuan and Liu were beaming with joy. Both mother and daughter were very proud today, chatting and laughing with all the ladies who came.

Wei Ruxuan didn't pay much attention to Yan Yu and Zheng. She knew that Yan Yu and Zheng would definitely come, especially Yan Yu. Prince Qin was away on business, and Yan Yu had to give face to Prince Rui's Mansion, otherwise it would be bad if the news of the discord between brothers got out.

...Although everyone knows that Xiao Jiashan and Xiao Chengji do not have a good relationship, they still have to put on a show.

Xia was pregnant and did not come. Zheng was chatting with some relatives of the Zheng family and had no time to spare.

They were soon invited to take their seats. Yan Yu was the Princess of Qin and the sister-in-law of Wei Ruxuan and Xiao Jiashan, so she should have sat at the main table.

Wei Ruxuan couldn't stand Yan Yu sitting in an important position, so she not only arranged the invited Luo and Zhang to sit at a table in the corner, but also arranged Yan Yu to sit there.

Luo and Zhang were restless.

Zhang smiled awkwardly and said, "We are young and of low generation, so it's fine for us to sit here. The princess cannot stay here with us."

Yan Yu said: "It's the same everywhere when you have a meal."

Yan Yu looked around and saw that those sitting at the main table were all relatives of the Wei family. Wei Ruxuan's mother, Liu, was in the middle, followed by princesses and princesses from the royal family, and below them were the wives of each family.

Although Princess Xianyi was in the front, she saw Yan Yu was here and the table was relatively empty, so she also went to sit at Yan Yu's table.

"Their house is in a mess, and the maids all have sad faces, as if someone has died. It's very disturbing to look at. I really don't know how to manage it."

Princess Xianyi curled her lips and said, "Just now, Madam Cai and I asked for tea. The maid even asked about our identities and gave me a cup of tribute tea and Madam Cai a cup of ordinary tea leaves. She was so stingy with the tea that she had to divide it into two pots to pour it. Madam Cai was so angry that her face turned pale."
