"I don't remember inviting you today. I don't have any male guests here. You come here uninvited..."

The cheerful tone instantly attracted everyone's attention. Shen Yuming's face changed, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Chunhuan had already walked straight towards him.

In the end, she didn't even look at him and walked past him.

It was then that Shen Yuming discovered that a lot of people had gathered behind him and his mother at some point in time.

Lin Chunhuan stepped forward, and everyone knelt down and bowed. Their eyes were filled with the look of watching the fun, even though no one dared to laugh at the princess.

But the royal excitement is not available all the time.

A few days ago, Lin Chunhuan invited the noble ladies in Beijing in the name of a flower-viewing banquet. Even if Shen Yuming didn't come today, she would find a way to get him here.

Since she has made up her mind not to get married, she won't keep staying with this man.

But...if you want to cancel an engagement, you have to do it in a dignified manner.

When Shen's mother suddenly saw so many people, she was a little confused for a moment.

But Lin Chunhuan changed her arrogant attitude and smiled apologetically at everyone, "Don't mind me, my future mother-in-law doesn't have much experience."

"After all, this is my first time in the princess's mansion, and I made some jokes. Please forgive me, Lord Shen, don't you think so?

When Shen's mother heard Lin Chunhuan say that she was ignorant, she was about to get angry on the spot, but she didn't know what the occasion was. Shen Yuming knew it very well and quickly pulled Shen's mother back, "The princess is right."

"My mother is of humble origin, so it is inevitable that she does not know the rules. I hope you ladies will tolerate her in the future."

As he spoke, Shen Yuming bowed to all the noble ladies.

Shen's mother was immediately unhappy. She pulled her son's sleeve and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Son, what do you mean by that! That little bitch Lin Chunhuan looks down on your own mother and belittles me in front of so many people!"

"It's fine if you don't help your own mother, but why are you still speaking in her favor?"

Shen Yuming suddenly felt a headache.

Mother Shen didn't know these ladies, but he did. The one standing on the left rear side was the prime minister's wife, a first-rank official.

The two standing at the back are the wife of the Grand Tutor and the eldest daughter of the family.

The ones who were talking to Lin Chunhuan were the wife of Marquis Pingnan and the wife of Duke Hanguo, and the ones who were being led towards the second gate by servants were Princess Qinghe and Princess Yan!

In fact, Lin Chunhuan didn’t invite many people this time, but each and every one of them was a well-known figure in Kyoto!

Even though they are all women, sometimes pillow talk is more effective than anything else.

If any of them goes back today and tells her husband that Shen's biological mother is unreasonable, then even if he becomes a prince consort, his future career will not be smooth.

Lin Chunhuan said this to help him! He was making up for him!

"Mom, please calm down for now." Shen Yuming's face turned red. "Do you know who are the people who came today? We can't afford to offend any of them!"

"Princess is helping me, please stop talking!"

Faced with the half-smile of the Duke's wife, Mother Shen felt a little embarrassed and muttered something to herself, but she didn't continue her outburst.

Shen Yuming knew that he had come at an inopportune time today. In fact, he had already wanted to leave the moment he saw these ladies. Now he stepped forward and said, "I didn't know that the princess was having a banquet. I was just thinking about the completion of the princess's mansion. As her fiancé, I should at least come and see if there is anything I can do to help."

"However, the princess is not available today. I will come another day. Just Fu'an, if you need anything, please send someone to call me. Don't tire yourself out."

Shen Yuming said this in a very affectionate manner.

If it was Lin Chunhuan in the past, she might be moved to death, but today, after hearing Shen Yuming's words, she just smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Since Lord Shen and Aunt Shen are already here, why don't you stay and attend the banquet together? It just so happens that Aunt Shen will be my mother-in-law in the future, and she will have to get along with the ladies in the future."

"It's also good to take this opportunity to get to know each other."

When Shen's mother heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She didn't even give Shen Yuming a chance to refuse and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! This is great!"

"I said Fu'an is a man who knows the rules. How can he keep his mother-in-law out of the house after the new house is built? He should invite her in for a drink!"

The speaking speed was so fast that Shen Yuming couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

But those ladies were all well-trained, and even if they found something funny, they would not make sarcastic remarks. However, there were many outspoken young ladies.

The daughter of the Duke of Jin was a hot-tempered person who spoke her mind without hesitation. Upon hearing this, she sneered, "The wedding hasn't even taken place yet. What kind of mother-in-law is this? She's really shameless."

"It's just that the eldest princess flatters her so much that some people don't even know who they are."

Mother Shen's face turned pale and blue.

Some families had already sensed something was wrong with Shen Yuming's demotion some time ago. And since the person who spoke was a junior, the ladies of each family just smiled and did not say anything, with no intention of reprimanding him at all.

But Princess Yan smiled and stepped forward to joke, "The little girl is outspoken. If she says something unpleasant, please don't mind it, old sister of the Shen family."

"No, no!"

This time Shen Yuming did not give his mother another chance to speak, and directly refused: "The princess's mansion did not invite any male guests today, so it is really inappropriate for me to stay."

"Next time for sure."

"Isn't this Shen Shaoqing?" Before Shen Yuming could finish his words, a male voice sounded from behind him, causing Lin Chunhuan to smile even more.

Upon seeing this, all the ladies, except the Princess of Yan and Princess Qinghe, bowed and saluted.

"His Royal Highness King Qi."

The King of Qi also smiled and stepped forward to greet the Princess of Yan, "My young prince pays his respects to the Imperial Aunt."

"Today, I heard that the Queen's aunt brought her sister here, so I thought of coming to pay her a visit. I originally thought it would be inappropriate to not have a male guest, but now that Shen Shaoqing is here, it's just right!"

Shen Yuming tried to force a laugh, but the expression on his face became more and more weird. Before he could react, he was half pushed and half pressed onto the seat.

Things were not what Shen Yuming had expected. He felt a little uneasy and tried to find a chance to leave several times, but was always dismissed by Lin Chunhuan.

As for Shen's mother.

She originally thought that her son was about to marry a princess, and that the noble ladies who used to be high and mighty would have to look up to her and come to her to flatter her.

But now, halfway through the meal, when Shen's mother came forward to talk, no one even paid attention to her. She slammed down the wine cup and sat down at the table, "What princess! I thought it would be so glorious if my son married her."

"Now it seems that it is still of no use at all!"
