The queen mother, the emperor, the queen, and the princess of the jade temples, as well as the emperor's seven-year-old eldest son, took the lead and took the plate to get some food, but the royal people were just for show, and then returned to their positions and let the maid go to get food. The seven-year-old prince deliberately pretended to be very stable and old, and with his immature little face, he looked very cute.

Bai Ruozhu found that the Queen Mother and the eldest prince wanted to take it themselves, but it was not safe for them to mix in the crowd after all, and it was not conducive to the protection of the guards.

Suddenly, Bai Ruozhu's eyelids jumped, and she didn't know how a thought came to her mind, what if Chengshuiguo's previous plan in the palace had not been destroyed? Will it be on this day? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, hoping that it was just her thinking nonsense, and this kind of thing would not happen.

In the corner where the meal was taken, Xue Wenqian glanced at Bai Ruozhu, and next to him, his sister and eldest daughter of the Xue family, Xue Xue, glanced at her brother and whispered: "Don't look at it, I don't think she is so powerful, she can marry the son of that kind of woman, and her vision is not better." ”

Xue Wenqian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Little sister, don't underestimate people, that Bai Ruozhu is indeed a genius, and I also appreciate her intelligence." Although her husband is the son of the woman, she should not be underestimated. ”

He said so, but when he mentioned Jiang Yichun, his tone was not very good.

Xue Xue snorted coldly and said: "People already treat you as a villain with ulterior motives, so you should think less about it, if you want to learn business, it is better to worship the elders of the Chamber of Commerce as a teacher, I still don't believe that those elders of the Chamber of Commerce are not as good as her." ”

Xue Wenqian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, she is not as old as the guys from the Chamber of Commerce, but she has a flexible brain and a lot of whimsical ideas. ”

Xue Xue still wanted to speak, but when she saw her father's steproom coming over, she elbowed her eldest brother and secretly prompted her.

Gu Yalai pretended to be unintentional and walked up to the brother and sister, and while taking the food, he whispered: "I heard that Wen Qian wants to invite Bai Ruozhu to our house as a guest, it seems that the drunkard does not mean to drink, but unfortunately in the end, the bamboo basket will still be empty." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for the brother and sister to speak, she turned around and walked away, with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, it seemed that in the secret fight on weekdays, Gu Yalai took advantage of it.

"You ......" Xue Xue was a fifteen-year-old girl, she almost couldn't hold her breath, pointed at her stepmother and scolded, but fortunately Xue Wenqian grabbed her and whispered: "Don't make trouble with her in public, otherwise your father will discipline you again and let her do what she wants." ”

Xue Xue took a deep breath, and it was easy for her anger to calm down.

Bai Ruozhu hadn't moved yet, she took the wine jug and poured wine for Jiang Yichun, Jiang Yichun's eyes had been secretly falling on Gu Yalai, and even Gu Yalai had just heard the conversation with Xue Wenqian's brothers and sisters, and he felt desolate in his heart, if he had intended to go back to Beijing to inquire, he might have known that his mother had remarried, but he never inquired, probably avoiding this kind of thing.

Danliang is open to the people, and women can also reconcile and divorce men, and even remarry is not a problem.

However, the mother, who hadn't seen her for nine years, didn't excitedly hold his hand and ask long and short questions, but looked at him lightly, as if she was looking at a stranger, how could she be so ruthless?

Jiang Yichun thought about it and raised his head and drank another glass of wine, his eyes were a little cold, how could he forget that his mother resolutely left their father and son, wasn't she ruthless enough?

Bai Ruozhu grabbed Jiang Yichun's hand beside him and said, "There's no need to be sad for people who don't care about you, let's go get food, otherwise we will attract attention." ”

Jiang Yichun has been on an errand for many years in the General Administration Department, and he has long learned to control his feelings, and soon he put away his sorrows, and his body exudes a harsh atmosphere, which makes people dare not approach lightly.

The two got up, the Li brothers and sisters hurriedly came over, the eldest girl Li took Bai Ruozhu's arm, and Li Bin also enthusiastically said that he would go with Jiang Yichun to get some snacks and food, and then sit down and drink two glasses together.

At this time, Jin Wuwei's colleagues also came over to say hello, Jiang Yichun's expression softened a little, although it was still cold, but it was no longer an aura that no one should enter.

A few big men talked, and Bai Ruozhu naturally didn't get close to her, so she and Li Wanhua went to the side to get food, but because she was not worried about Jiang Yichun, she didn't leave too far away.

"Sister Ruozhu, I originally thought you all knew......" Li Wanhua said apologetically.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head, "It's because I had a lot of things a while ago, and I forgot about this stubble, I don't blame you." ”

Li Wanhua sneered, she was not good at mentioning this matter, and she was afraid that Bai Ruozhu and his wife would be embarrassed, but it would ruin the relationship with the Li family.

Everyone took food on the periphery, and songs and dances were also performed on the water platform on the lake, which was very lively. At the same time, the eunuch of the Department of Internal Affairs carried the same birthday gift up, put it in the middle of the table, and presented it to the Queen Mother.

When everyone enters the palace to celebrate their birthday, they hand over the birthday gift to the Department of Internal Affairs at the gate of the palace, and the people of the Department of Internal Affairs will carefully check to see if there are any dangerous things before moving them to the Queen Mother.

Bai Ruozhu felt funny when she saw it, the Queen Mother must have been afraid that a concubine would perform in the middle of the table, so she simply put something in the middle, so that no one had to get under her nose.

The rites are arranged according to the size of the officials, at first they are naturally the prince and the emperor's relatives, and then they are arranged down according to the official position, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun should be the lowest official positions among the people present, so she is not in a hurry, it will take a long time to come to her.

Duanwang did not show up, but the gift was delivered, it is a white jade carving of Guanyin, the Guanyin is forty centimeters high, the form is vivid, the jade is moist and harmonious, it is a good jade material at a glance, it is rare to be able to find a large piece of good jade material, so the jade Guanyin came out of the field, it attracted everyone's attention.

Immediately, some people said that the Empress Dowager was blessed for a long time, isn't it the living Guanyin? The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, but Bai Ruozhu felt that her smile was very faint, and it did not reach the bottom of her eyes at all, which showed that she did not like this gift.

It doesn't matter if the gift is good or not, what matters is who is giving the gift, King Duan is eyeing the throne, and it is strange that the Queen Mother will have a good impression of him.

Immediately, other gifts were presented in the same way, Bai Ruozhu chatted with Li Wanhua, paid attention to Jiang Yichun's situation, and looked at those birthday gifts from time to time, and soon arrived at the Meng family's birthday gifts.

Because it was a four-leaf screen, it was moved by two guards, covered with a cloth, and put it in front of the Queen Mother, and the guards lifted the cloth, and everyone present was stunned......
