When they received the invitation from the Queen, all the noble ladies in the capital were instantly excited.

They were all eager to try and put in all their efforts, vowing to compete with each other and show their talents in this feast.

Because the news had spread long ago that not only the ladies from famous families would attend the banquet, but also the young masters from various families would come to show their support.

The emperor took care of the queen and she lived alone, so they could only choose a suitable one to marry from among the young men of noble families.

In order to make this event more interesting and entertaining, the banquet was specially divided into men's and women's groups. In this way, the young masters and ladies can better display their strengths and compete with each other.

Who doesn’t want to be known as a talented man or woman?

She shines brightly at the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the Queen, and with a little luck, she might even catch the Emperor's eye.

It’s a great help to the family.

Jiang Chuwei only needed to move her mouth slightly and tell Aunt Qiu beside her her ideas, and this experienced Aunt Qiu would be able to quickly arrange all matters properly without any omissions.

At the same time, people are full of endless curiosity about the current queen.

It is said that the queen was pregnant, and the emperor had no plans to select a concubine during this period.

Whether they were young ladies or ladies, they all envied and were jealous of the queen.

However, even if the emperor has no plans to hold a beauty contest for the time being, there is always a chance of something happening. As long as a daughter of a family is lucky enough to catch the emperor's eye, those anxious ministers will rack their brains and use all means to send their daughters to the emperor's throne.

But having said that, today's banquet is undoubtedly a great opportunity.

Jiang Chuwei knew clearly in her heart that it was impossible to guard against those women who tried every possible means to enter the palace!

After all, the emperor is not like her, trapped in the huge harem and unable to go anywhere.

The emperor often traveled incognito and walked among the people, so naturally, women outside had more opportunities to get close to him.

But Jiang Chuwei was not too worried about this. Because in her opinion, if the emperor couldn't even stick to his bottom line, then no matter where he was, all kinds of women would take the initiative to stick to him.

She wanted to defend herself, but found it impossible to do so.

However, what she had not expected was that these women were so shameless that they dared to play tricks and scheme carefully in the heavily guarded palace.

The banquet was divided very clearly, with male and female guests each having their own exclusive area.

Mrs. Jiang came to the banquet with her two daughters-in-law.

Ever since Mrs. Jiang accompanied her daughter to stay overnight in the palace last time, she witnessed with her own eyes that her daughter was living a happy life in the palace. Since then, she has never taken the initiative to visit her in the palace again.

Now, she has devoted all her attention to her two daughters-in-law. Especially for Zheng Yao, she pays special attention to her, secretly planning to cultivate her into her future capable successor.

When Jiang Chuwei saw Zheng Yao, she couldn't help but feel quite surprised.

I thought Zheng Yao would have a sad face after going through so many twists and turns, but what caught my eye at this moment was a face without any sadness at all.

Ye Huan, on the other hand, was still as lively and playful as before, chattering non-stop.

Seeing this, Madam Jiang quickly spoke out in a gentle voice to remind him, "Huan'er, this is a palace banquet, you must not lose your manners, and you need to pay attention to your image at all times."

Upon hearing this, Ye Huan immediately hugged her mother-in-law's arms tightly and responded coquettishly, "Mother! You know that my daughter-in-law and Chu Wei have known each other since childhood and are as close as sisters. If I pretend to be dignified and quiet in front of her, it will seem out of place!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang smiled and stretched out her finger to gently touch her forehead, pretending to be angry and scolding: "You have the most talkative little mouth!" Ye Huan made a naughty face at Mrs. Jiang, then quickly stuck out her pink little tongue, looking very cute.

At this time, Madam Ye, who was standing by, could not help but remind her: "Huan'er, you can't be so disrespectful to call the Queen by her maiden name." She frowned slightly and looked at her daughter with a slightly reproachful look. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was difficult for her to see her daughter now. She had to go to the General's Mansion in person.

Mrs. Ye really couldn't understand. She had always treated her daughter well and had never treated her unfairly, but why was she unwilling to go home more often?

Is it true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled? Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but feel hatred towards Ye Huan.

"I know! Mother~" Ye Huan responded with a smile, and pounced towards Mrs. Ye like a happy little bird, wanting to give her a big hug.

However, Madam Ye nimbly dodged to the side and said with a straight face, "Girls should know the rules! Don't be so impetuous all the time."

In fact, Mrs. Ye knew that her daughter's lively and active personality was also likable, but she still needed to pay attention to some etiquette and manners in front of outsiders.

Thinking back to when her daughter had just married Jiang Hai, she had heard a lot of gossip.

Someone even said in front of her that it was a flower stuck in cow dung.

What’s even more outrageous is that some people even said that her precious daughter was the pile of cow dung!

Whenever she heard these words, Mrs. Ye's anger would rise. Many times she couldn't help but quarrel with others, and even started fighting.

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. Although she tried her best to protect her daughter's reputation, those ugly words spread through the streets and alleys like wings, causing her daughter's bad reputation to spread further and further.

But Ye Huan didn't care at all and told her mother that those people were just jealous that she had married a good husband and they were envious!

Mrs. Ye thought about it and realized why she was not as open-minded as her daughter.

My daughter was right. Mrs. Jiang doted on Ye Huan and loved her like the last thing on her.

There has never been any means used by evil mothers-in-law to torture their daughters-in-law.

The General's Mansion has such a favored queen sitting in the General's Mansion. I wonder how many people in the capital city are jealous of her!

Just like now, many people are watching the interaction between mother and daughter, with envy or jealousy on their faces.
