delicious, not sweet

"A little girl of two or three years old?" The starry sky skirt sister touched her chin, "Is there such a young member of the royal family?"

The lady in the long black dress shook her head firmly: "Absolutely not!"

The sister in the starry sky skirt teased her: "Why, you know so much about the news inside the royal family? Have you always wanted to be a queen?"

The lady in the long black dress rolled her eyes, nodded generously, and asked again: "Don't you two want to? If you don't want to, what are you doing at this banquet?"

The starry sky skirt sister was a little embarrassed, she said coyly: "My mommy must bring me here, as for the emperor... I, I haven't made up my mind yet."

As she spoke, she poked Shu Yanyan: "What about you?"

"I..." Shu Yanyan was a little embarrassed, "I didn't come here for that."

The lady in the long black dress waved her hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's find a way to get ahead and see who that mysterious girl is!"

Shu Yanyan didn't want to go there: "There are too many people here...or forget it?

"We can go back and continue eating snacks."

Thinking about it with kneecaps, one can know that the little girl who appeared beside the Queen Mother must be her family Yun Miao.If Yun Miao saw her later and called her "Mommy" on the spot, then the situation would be out of control!

The starry sky skirt sister also supported Shu Yanyan's idea: "There is nothing to see. Since he is not a member of the royal family, he must be the heir of the noble family who is close to the royal family. We can't get close now."

The lady in the long black dress hated iron and steel: "How do you know it's the child of an ordinary nobleman? What if it's not? You don't care about such important news?"

The younger sister in the starry sky skirt spread her hands: "Then what else can she be?"

Suddenly, she smiled, and asked back with her black dress on the shoulders of the lady: "Is it possible that the little girl is the emperor's illegitimate daughter? In this case, we don't have to go there. The emperor's illegitimate daughter was taken by the queen mother." Entering a high-end banquet, well, everyone in the audience is out of the game."

The lady in the long black dress was speechless, but she couldn't find any words of rebuttal for a while.

Shu Yanyan felt a little sad when she heard these words.

She doesn't like her little girl being called "illegitimate daughter".

The sister in the starry sky skirt pushed her: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy when I say this?"

Shu Yanyan came back to her senses, and quickly waved her hands: "No."

The younger sister in the starry sky skirt looked at her glasses: "You just said that you didn't come to the banquet to be selected as the imperial palace, but when I said that everyone in the audience was useless, you just lowered your head and didn't speak. It's not because you are unhappy Woolen cloth!"

Shu Yanyan explained dryly: "I'm not unhappy because of this sentence..."

She licked her lips: "I was thinking, maybe it's not some 'illegitimate daughter', after all, she is with the Queen Mother."

The starry sky skirt sister nodded: "Then what you mean is that that little girl is the little princess of our empire."

As soon as the words came out, she shook her head: "Impossible, the emperor has not announced the news of his marriage, and that little girl can't be a princess no matter what."

Shu Yanyan pursed her lips, but didn't speak.

The other party was quite right... Judging from the current situation of her and Chu Yu's only relationship, the term "illegitimate daughter" is not wrong.

But no matter what, as Yun Miao's biological mother, she would feel uncomfortable about it.

The lady in the black long skirt and the sister in the starry sky skirt have reached an agreement and are ready to go back and continue eating.They called for Shu Yanyan, but Shu Yanyan no longer had any appetite.

She smiled and said goodbye to the two: "I won't go, I'm full, and I want to go for a walk outside."

Although a little regretful, the two nodded and bid her farewell.

When the figure who watched Shu Yanyan disappeared at the gate of the banquet hall, the starry sky skirt sister suddenly realized, looked at her companion and asked a question: "...No, is there an open garden area for today's banquet?"

The lady in the long black dress also remembered: "No?

"When I entered the venue, the guards specifically told me that I can only do activities in this hall."

Sister Xingkongskirt foolishly pointed at Shu Yanyan's left side: "Yeah! Then how did she get out? Those guards sent her out politely."

The lady in the long black dress also fell silent.

After a long while, she grabbed her companion: "Forget it, no matter how much it is, let's go back and eat?"

The other party nodded, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and returned to the dining table with her.

the other side.

Shu Yanyan who escaped from the banquet hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Next to the banquet hall is a small garden. At this time, there is no one around in the garden, only the faint sound of insects.The night wind was slightly cold, blowing on the body like a layer of ice veil, a bit cold, but more of a coolness.

In such an environment, Shu Yanyan gradually calmed down, and finally felt a sense of her own boldness——

She actually slipped into the highest-level banquet in the empire, and successfully obtained the information she wanted.

What is even more proud is that judging from the conversations with some people just now, she performed very well, and almost no one doubted that she was actually just a commoner girl who sneaked in to make up for it.

Shu Yanyan couldn't help thinking, does this prove that the gap between her and Chu Yu is actually not as big as she imagined?

She can pretend to be a woman who is qualified to be the queen of the empire when she is mixed in the banquet, so her little Yunmiao, surrounded by everyone, also looks a bit like the princess of the empire.

Thinking of this, she thought about Yun Miao who was still in the banquet hall.

I don't know how the little girl is doing now, and I don't know how the Queen Mother will introduce Yun Miao's identity to those who participated in the banquet.

Children of relatives?A little niece brought by a friend?still……

Just as she was thinking wildly, a guard ran towards her.He was originally on duty at the entrance of the banquet hall, because Shu Yanyan had a little impression of him because he had just met him.After the other party finished the salute, she took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter?"

The guard replied: "There seems to be something wrong in the banquet hall. The Queen Mother invites you to go there."

Shu Yanyan froze for a moment.

Immediately, she immediately thought that Yun Miao must have something to do with what happened in the banquet hall and the Queen Mother asked her to find her immediately!

Shu Yanyan immediately raised the corner of her skirt, and before she could respond, she jumped over the guards and ran into the banquet hall.

The positions of the Queen Mother and Yun Miao are easy to find.

Shu Yanyan didn't need anyone to show her the way, following the direction where the crowd was densest, Shu Yanyan soon saw the Queen Mother and her little girl.

Yun Miao stayed in the empress dowager's arms with her mouth pursed, not in a very high mood, but the empress dowager was coaxing cautiously aside.There were many people participating in the banquet around. Although they didn't dare to watch the excitement aboveboard, they all glanced in this direction from the corner of their eyes.

Shu Yanyan felt a "click" in her heart, but she couldn't care so much, so she walked over.

Seeing her coming, the queen mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Yanyan!"

Shu Yanyan nodded to her.

Yun Miao also saw her, and while stretching out her arms towards her, she opened her mouth to call out.

Shu Yanyan quickly covered her small mouth with her hands, and whispered in her ear: "Yun Miao, please don't call me."

Yun Miao didn't know why, but she was very obedient and closed her mouth obediently.

The crowd's attention was all attracted by Shu Yanyan, and the noise in the background was all discussing her identity.It's not that Shu Yanyan didn't hear it, but she chose to ignore it, looked down at Yun Miao in her arms and asked, "What's wrong with Yun Miao?"

Yun Miao pursed her lips and said nothing.

At this time, the queen mother came over.

She felt a little guilty: "It's all my fault. There was someone who didn't wink who said something wrong and told me to drive him away. Let's not be sad, Yun Miao, okay?"

Yun Miao glanced at her: "...it's not grandma...it's not your fault."

The queen mother was dying of anxiety.

See, the baby doesn't even dare to call her grandma anymore.

Shu Yanyan was also puzzled: "What did she say?"

The queen mother took a deep breath and explained in a low voice: "At first we were eating and chatting here, and someone suddenly praised today's new desserts as delicious. Those desserts are you...cough, so I and Yun Miao is very happy.

"Later Yun Miao got excited and said that those desserts were made by her mommy."

Speaking of this, the queen mother sighed: "I didn't realize it at that time.

"That person probably thought Yun Miao was joking, so he joked, 'Little girl really knows how to joke, if your mommy makes desserts, what does your mother do?' Yun Miao... Yun Miao was silent for a while, Emotions are not right."

Shu Yanyan understood what happened and nodded.

She could understand why that person said that, and could even understand that the other party simply wanted to make a joke of Yun Miao, without any malice-probably no one would believe that a person who could appear on such an occasion and be embraced by the noble queen mother of the empire The child in his arms, the biological mother is actually a dessert maker.

Although she wasn't ashamed of it, she also knew that this identity was indeed a bit incompatible with this occasion.

As for why Yun Miao was silent because of that man's ridicule...

Probably because Shu Yanyan had told her as early as after the two were brought back by Chu Yu, try not to mention Chu Yu's identity to others.Children are not very good at distinguishing other people's intentions. If Yun Miao unintentionally speaks out and is taken to make a fuss by someone with a heart, the situation may be difficult to control.

At that time, she did not expect that Yun Miao would be brought to such an occasion by the queen mother and asked such a question by others.

Although the little girl didn't understand anything, the fact that she couldn't be upright and her mother's identity was revealed was enough to hurt her sensitive heart.

The queen mother continued to explain: "At first, I wanted to take her away immediately, but Yun Miao didn't seem to want to leave very much, so I sent someone to find you. Yan Yan, I'm sorry, look now..."

Shu Yanyan came back to her senses and smiled at her: "It's okay."

She stroked Yun Miao's hair: "Yun Miao is a bit on the edge, I'll take her back and explain to her."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Well, let's go back first."

Shu Yanyan politely declined: "You are the most important protagonist of this banquet, isn't it a pity to leave halfway?

"Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of Yun Miao."

The queen mother wanted to refute her statement - where is she the most important protagonist in this banquet?This banquet was clearly held for Yan Yan and Yun Miao.

But she could hear from Shu Yanyan's tone that she wanted to be alone with Yun Miao, after thinking about it, she didn't continue to insist, she just nodded and said: "Yes, that's fine."

Shu Yanyan gave her a grateful look, and walked out with Yun Miao in her arms.

There are many curious or probing eyes around her following her, but to Shu Yanyan, those are indifferent.There is only one thought in her mind now, and that is to find a quiet place to comfort her wronged little girl, so that she doesn't look up at all, but just stares at the road under her feet and rushes forward.

The more urgent the more mistakes.

Sure enough, before she reached the gate of the banquet hall, Shu Yanyan felt that she bumped into someone head-on.The other party was very tall, and the reaction force made her fall backwards. Fortunately, the other party reacted quickly and supported her shoulders at the first time, so that she could stand firmly again.

Shu Yanyan's "sorry" and "thank you" were stuck in her throat, and she didn't even figure out which word to say first, and when she looked up, she saw Chu Yu's face that was disastrous to the country and the people.

Now there's no need to worry about it, she held back both "sorry" and "thank you", and said sullenly, "...Why is it you?"

Chu Yu sighed.

She stretched out her hand, wanting to take Yun Miao in Shu Yanyan's arms.

Yun Miao looked at her, but her hands were still clinging to Shu Yanyan's shoulders, as if she had no intention of entering her arms.

Chu Yu took a deep breath: "Be good, baby, come to mother's arms."

She didn't speak out loud.

But there are people around who are close and have better hearing, and they heard the word "mother" completely.All of a sudden, there were sporadic gasps of surprise in the banquet hall.

But more people were confused, frantically tugging at those who were gasping for air and asking them what they heard.

Yun Miao heard it clearly.

She seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then she stopped hesitating, let go of Shu Yanyan's neck, and threw herself directly, and was successfully carried into her arms by Chu Yu.

Sticking to Chu Yu's shoulder affectionately, she called out in a low voice: "Mother..."

Chu Yu turned his head and kissed her gently on the cheek: "Good boy."

Before Shu Yanyan could react, the big girl in her arms had already been "coaxed" away.

She looked at Chu Yu, and opened her mouth blankly to say something, but she was still a step too late.

Chu Yu raised the hand that was not holding Yun Miao, and grabbed her five fingers that were standing on her chest and didn't know how to place them.Then, holding Yun Miao in one hand and Shu Yanyan in the other, she turned the two of them around and walked back to the center of the banquet hall.

All the whispering voices around disappeared, and everyone held their breaths——

Even if they didn't hear those two words just now, even if they didn't know the identities of Shu Yanyan and Yun Miao, Chu Yu's actions at this time had already made them realize something.

After being surprised at the beginning, Shu Yanyan calmed down completely, looked at Yun Miao who was obediently lying on Chu Yu's shoulder, thought for a while, sighed softly, and did not make any act of resistance after all.

Chu Yu didn't let go of any of her tiny moves.

"Huh? Why are you sighing? Are you unhappy?"

Shu Yanyan covered her mouth falsely: "No."

She let out another breath: "I feel relieved, if I have to say it, I may be a little happy."

Hearing this, Chu Yu raised the corners of her lips and squeezed her palm: "Remember what you said now."

Shu Yanyan gave an "ah" in doubt, not knowing what she meant.But Chu Yu didn't intend to explain, turned his head back, and looked at the road seriously again.

Under the eyes of everyone in the banquet hall, Shu Yanyan finally realized something belatedly.

Her cheeks gradually turned red and her breathing became short of breath, but she never let go of the hand held by Chu Yu.
