Although the old woman's birthday was not a grand birthday, many people were invited, including people from the Wei family.

As a result, the atmosphere at this moment was a bit delicate, especially the Cui family members, who looked at Cui Yingying with obviously unfriendly eyes, but they kept tolerating it.

There were whispers and murmurs all around.

"Is that Princess Chao Xi?"

"Other than her, I didn't expect that she would have the nerve to come today."

"Keep your voice down, I heard that His Royal Highness treats her differently!"

Cui Yingying ignored these noises and walked towards the people standing in front of the hall with a false smile. She bowed to the old lady Cui calmly and said, "Grandma is doing well lately!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Cui nodded to her equally hypocritically, and grabbed her hand happily, "Grandma is very happy that Yingying can come."

what!

Cui Yingying had goosebumps. Why is this old woman better at acting than she is?

"Yes, Yingying, grandma has been talking about you." Mrs. Sun next to her chimed in.

She was immediately pushed to the peak of morality. Cui Yingying's attitude was very calm and she kept smiling.

After finally dealing with the people, Mrs. Sun pushed Cui Huairou to take the women to the backyard for a stroll. After all, birthday banquets were held at night.

"Princess..." Zhu Yu's eyes were watching the six directions, and his ears were listening in all directions. For fear of something fishy, ​​he came to her side and said worriedly: "How about we find a place where there is no one and hide first."

After all, it's not easy to fight them head-on now that we are single and weak.

Reinforcements haven't arrived yet.

"Zhuyu, are you sometimes afraid?" Cui Yingying was shocked, as if she had discovered some great secret, her eyes lit up, she pushed her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I know this family well, it's a small problem."

Zhuyu: "..."

It was precisely because of the princess's vow that she was even more frightened.

I always feel that it is not very reliable.

"So she is Princess Chao Xi." The archway was not in place, Wu Congyu looked at the person who was drifting away with interest and couldn't help but smile.

He had only come to Yecheng not long ago, and the one he heard the most about was Princess Chao Xi.

I thought it was just another case of affection between children, but I didn't expect it to be so unique.

"Little Marquis didn't know when he first came here. Princess Chao Xi has a lot of misdeeds. She has repeatedly spoken rudely to her grandmother, and even set up her own business in such a rebellious way."

Seeing him speak, the people next to him immediately began to chatter in response to the situation, and their words were full of derogatory remarks about Cui Yingying.

Wu Congyu raised his eyebrows and smiled intriguingly, "Really?"

The man vowed: "This is natural. It is difficult for a woman who has ruined her family tradition to even negotiate a marriage."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Prince Wei. The engagement of the princess was annulled by Prince Wei this morning." The man seemed to have lost his mind and immediately pointed his finger at Wei Shuyan who was passing by.

Wu Congyu followed his gaze and happened to meet Wei Shuyan's frowning expression.

Wei Shuyan pursed his lips, feeling a little dissatisfied with what the other party said, but he couldn't ignore it, so he had to cup his hands and say: "It is not the behavior of a gentleman to discuss people's rights and wrongs behind their backs."

Wu Congyu looked at him deeply and smiled without saying a word.

Yecheng is really full of talented people, which is very interesting.

What was reported outside seemed a little different from what he saw.

On the female side, Cui Yingying and Zhuyu walked at the end. Listening to the conversation of the group in front, they rolled their eyes at every turn. Both of them rolled their eyes tiredly.

"It's really strange, why don't we see Miss Shen and Sister Chu?" Cui Yingying was so bored that she couldn't help but mutter.

Zhuyu explained, "It's not a birthday. It's human nature not to come."

"...very jealous." Cui Yingying gritted her teeth, equally resenting everyone who didn't come to attend this bullshit Hongmen Banquet.

"Hey! Sister Huairou, why did you neglect your princess sister? She is the princess now! Isn't it good for us to be so neglectful?" Suddenly someone said this.

A few people were wandering aimlessly behind the rockery. Every lady of the house held a round fan in her hand, shaking it constantly.

Cui Yingying's mouth twitched when she saw it, and she wanted to ask, are you hot?

The sun is not very bright today.

Cui Huairou stopped and looked at the person walking at the end, her eyes filled with hatred, and she said angrily: "The third sister is now the princess, how can I dare to reach such a high level?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on her.

She was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of attention, even though she had already experienced it once.

But for a girl who is afraid of society, the difficulty level is indeed a bit high.

She was excited, looked towards Zhuyu, and half-covered her face with her hands in front of them and asked, "Is there anyone here who is more noble than me?"

"Not really." As soon as Zhuyu heard this, she knew that the little girl was going to cause trouble. She straightened her back and affirmed.

If that's the case, what else is she pretending to do?

Cui Yingying cleared her throat and straightened her skirt with a smile, "Second sister is right, things are different now. In this case, let me salute this princess!"

But you can’t be called putting on airs for nothing.

Cui Huairou's face turned dark and she just felt humiliated. She then raised her silk handkerchief to wipe away the tears that were not there at all, and said aggrievedly: "Third sister, why do you have to humiliate me like this... Even if there were many differences between you and me in the past, we are still the same after all. Sisters."

"That's right, the princess has gone too far to bully others." Those who wanted to fight against injustice came forward.

Cui Yingying treated her indiscriminately, "Is it because I didn't bully you that you are mentally unbalanced?"

what?

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

The girl said with an innocent face: "Then you all salute together! In case it gets spread that I favor one over the other, right Zhuyu?"

"What the princess said is absolutely true." Zhuyu suppressed her smile and nodded in agreement.

"Misses, please bow!" Zhu Yupi put pressure on everyone with a smile.

The few people who were still unforgiving suddenly lost their arrogance. They knew that Zhuyu was someone close to the late Queen, someone personally assigned by His Majesty to serve Princess Chaoxi. If they were not polite, they might not be able to finish the matter.

In the end, he reluctantly lowered his stance.

The feeling of stealing the chicken but losing the rice is really uncomfortable, and then look at that man's arrogance, his tail is almost raised to the sky.

Cui Yingying arrogantly took Zhuyu away from everyone, sneaked to a deserted place and gave her an excited high-five to celebrate.

"Zhuyu, have you seen that their faces are all green?"

"This slave has seen it." Zhuyu looked at her high-fiving hands and shook her head helplessly.

The girl's emotions were all on her face, and she seemed unable to hide any of her emotions. The sycamore tree swayed with the wind, and its slightly yellowed leaves blocked the weak sunlight, making her bright smile looming.

"Ha!" Wu Congyu, who avoided everyone and jumped to the eaves alone, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Such a girl should live freely on the grassland, not in a back house.

It seemed that his trip was well worth it.
