Shen Yue looked around and saw that most of the people around her were acquaintances, but they were all just nodding acquaintances.

Not far away, a group of noble ladies gathered around one person, chattering without knowing what they were talking about. I could vaguely hear some compliments.

Of course, there are also people who disdain such a scene and just sit aside and sip tea indifferently.

Before Shen Yue could sit down, she was stopped by Su Shunci who came in later.

"Miss Third, you are here too."

Shen Yue turned around and saw Su Shunci, and also smiled.

Fu Shen called out, "Little aunt, just call me Yue'er."

According to the relationship between the two families, she should indeed call him that. But Su Shunci grinned and said hurriedly: "How about we talk about our own affairs? You call me Ah Ci and I call you Sister Yue?"

Shen Yue shook her head quickly, "The etiquette cannot be discarded. We are serious relatives, how can we shout like that."

She respected her third uncle and third aunt, as they were her biological sisters, so even if Su Shunci was younger than her, she could not mess up the seniority.

Su Shunci could only respond to the call "little aunt" and walked deliberately more dignified. As an aunt, you must act like an aunt.

Su Xiangling, who was surrounded by stars just now, saw Su Shunci coming. He crossed the crowd and walked to Su Shunci, "Why are you here? What is your identity? Is this a place where you can come?"

Su Shunci snorted, "You can come, why can't I?"

Next to Su Xiangling is Liu Qianning, the daughter of Zhan Shiliu Chen, the young master of Zhan Shifu.

Liu Qianning sneered and said, "How do you compare with the second young lady? The second young lady is not only the legitimate daughter of the Su family, she is also valued by the prince."

Then he turned to Su Xiangling and asked, "Is this your concubine lady who smells like copper? She is really unworthy of publicity."

In fact, Liu Qianning just wanted to support Su Xiangling, thinking that if Su Xiangling was favored by the prince, her father would be able to find a good future with the prince in the future.

As for those words about pushing Su Shunci, she didn't even think about it when she said it.

Shen Yue was afraid that Su Shunci would be wronged and did not dare to reply, so she wanted to speak a few words for her.

"Liu..."

As soon as she said this, she saw Su Shunci walking up to Liu Qianning and touching her clothes.

"Ms. Liu, do you hate rich people? I smell like copper. The brocade on me is new this year and is not cheap. On the other hand, the brocade on you is a fashionable material last year, right?"

When Su Shunci said this, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Qianning's clothes.

Liu Qianning's face turned red instantly, and she subconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes and took two steps back.

Her father came from the countryside and passed the imperial examination. It was a great blessing to get into Zhan Shifu. The family is not as rich as these hairpin aristocratic families, so naturally they will not spend a lot of money to make clothes for her.

Su Xiangling immediately scolded, "Fourth sister, how could you say that about sister Qian Ning? She didn't say anything, but your words are too hurtful."

"You apologize to her immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Su Shunci rolled her eyes at Su Xiangling and said, "Second sister, are you deaf? I'm just talking about the material of clothes, why are you hurting someone?"

Su Xiangling had recently been praised highly by the noble ladies in the capital, but now she was snatched away by Su Shunci, so naturally she couldn't lose her face.

She never took Su Shunci seriously, so she raised her hand and moved towards Su Shunci's face.

He said: "You didn't sneak in, did you? How could His Highness send you a message?"

Shen Yue was startled and yelled, "How dare you do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a long thin whip suddenly swung from behind Su Shunci and directly wrapped around Su Xiangling's wrist.

"Who gave you permission to do something to her?"

"I brought her here, why do you question her?"

Song Wanwan, wearing riding clothes, stood beside Su Shunci with a cold face. She swung the whip in her hand to the side, and Su Xiangling fell to the side.

"What are you doing? The Crown Prince is hosting a banquet, and Miss Song not only brought a whip in, but also dared to attack directly. Aren't you afraid that the Crown Prince will blame you?"

Su Xiangling was helped up by the maid, rubbing her wrists while glaring at Song Wanwan.

Relying on the prince's favor, she didn't take Song Wanwan too seriously. But what she didn't know was that the Song family was never controlled by the prince. If the prince wants to ascend the throne, he has to go through the Song family in the end. This is also the reason why Concubine Xian is quite tolerant towards the Song family.

Song Wanwan first looked at Su Shunci. When she saw that Su Shunci was fine, she squinted at Su Xiangling.

"Does this thing next to His Highness the Crown Prince really think that she is the Crown Princess?"

While they were talking, Song Wanwan had already pulled Su Shunci to sit aside, and called Shen Yue to sit down with them.

A young palace maid served freshly brewed scented tea, and Song Wanwan picked up the teacup and drank it calmly.

Su Xiangling's face was tense, and the veins on her forehead were bulging.

Since her last "accidental encounter" with the prince in Taolin, she has never been so angry in Beijing.

Su Shunci looked at Su Xiangling's expression and couldn't help but shake her head slightly. The aura of the prince made Su Xiangling unable to recognize her position. Did she actually think that she could cover the sky with one hand in the capital?

She was afraid that the higher the prince held her up, the harder she would fall in the end.

Su Xiangling was naturally unwilling to give in. At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came over with a group of noble sons.

She immediately went up to her and said in a tearful voice, "Your Highness, please forgive me. The daughter of the people will no longer be an eyesore and will not be humiliated."

At this time, all the ladies also stood up and saluted the prince. The prince motioned for everyone to sit down first, and then looked at Su Xiangling, "What happened? Who humiliated you?"

The prince looked around again. Most people were looking at Su Xiangling. Some were worried, while others were gloating. Song Wanwan was drinking tea calmly, as if these things had nothing to do with her.

In short, His Highness the Crown Prince did not see who insulted Su Xiangling.

Su Xiangling continued, "Will His Royal Highness really make decisions for civilian girls? Severely punish those who humiliate me."

At this time, the prince guessed that some steward or palace maid might be disrespectful to Su Xiangling. Then he said in a deep voice: "Say, no matter who it is, as long as they insult you, I will never forgive you lightly."

Su Xiangling turned around and looked at Song Wanwan contemptuously, with a mocking smile on her lips.

What's wrong with the legitimate daughter of the Zhongyi Marquis? She's not a humble servant in front of the prince.

After she enters the East Palace, she will one day ascend to the throne. She is the master, and these people can only be slaves trampled under her feet.

But Song Wanwan didn't even look at Su Xiangling, she was not worthy.

Su Xiangling originally thought that Song Wanwan would panic, or even beg for mercy in her eyes.

But no, Song Wanwan still drank tea calmly.

This made Su Xiangling even more angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "His Royal Highness is Song Wanwan, the eldest daughter of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion."

"Not only did he speak rudely to me, he also whipped me. Look at my wrist, it's red and swollen."

With that said, Su Xiangling handed her hand to the prince.

Seeing the chill on the prince's face, Su Xiangling looked at Song Wanwan triumphantly again.

The prince secretly scolded Su Xiangling for being ignorant. Could Song Wanwan be offended by her?

Just when Su Xiangling thought that the prince was going to make the decision for her, Song Wanwan was offended.

But she didn't expect the prince to slap her hard in the face.

"What's your identity? Is Cousin Wan something you can control?"

Not far away, Li Chaoyun led Li Yunzhou and Song Hongshen towards this side.

Both of them were dressed in dark brocade robes, and Li Yunzhou still had a bookish look on his face.

Song Hongshen was half a head taller than Li Yunzhou, with deep facial features. The nobility in his gestures does not look like that of a concubine, but he looks more calm and dignified than the legitimate son of a rich family.
