After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Chu Yue took a half step back calmly. The wedge-shaped shadow of the leaves was cast on his brow. The interweaving of light and shadow concealed the complexity in his eyes.

Who on earth is this Young Master Ning? He could make Lu Kui bow down to him, and let the Duke of England treat him so politely, and even let him wear such a jade pendant around his waist...

Ning Er replied with a smile: "Brother Chu is hosting a small banquet here, and Lord Lu and I happened to be there, so we came to join in the fun."

Lou Qi uttered a "huh" and then saw Chu Yue and the others: "Yue'er, you are here too."

Chu Yue was distracted for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Uncle."

Uncle? Ning'er opened her eyes wide, and she looked at Lu Kui inquiringly, but Lou Qi stroked his beard and took the initiative to explain to her: "Yue'er was born in the Rui Wang Mansion, so in theory, I should call Her Royal Highness the Princess Aunt."

The eldest princess, the Rui Palace, my aunt...

His surname is also Chu. Ning'er raised her head suddenly. He turned out to be Chu Huan's brother!

Ning'er immediately looked at him carefully. Although he was not as handsome as Chu Huan, he was still a handsome man anyway.

Different from Lu Kui's gloomy handsomeness, Chu Yue has bright features, gentle temperament, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a very sunny smile.

But... Ning'er was a little disappointed. Judging from appearance alone, he had almost no similarities with Chu Huan. He was even less similar to his cousin Lin Ping.

I just don’t know, is he Lingwei’s elder brother or younger brother?

Ning Er bowed and said, "So you are the young master of the palace. I am new here and I am really sorry for being rude."

Chu Yue quickly grabbed his wrist and said with a smile: "Today we are only concerned about age, not background. Brother Ning, please don't be restrained."

Seeing his actions, Lu Kui and Lou Qi's eyebrows jumped violently. One of them took a step forward unnoticed, while the other one pushed Chu Yue's hand away seemingly inadvertently.

At this time, His Majesty had not arrived yet, and Miss Ning was in her own territory. Lou Qi was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly said to everyone, "It's getting late, and the banquet is about to begin. You don't have to hide here, come with me."

Chu Yue smiled and said, "It was so hard to find a quiet place, and I met Brother Lu and Brother Ning, but my uncle wouldn't let me go."

Lou Qi brought six servants with him and cleaned up the place in a short while. He then led everyone to the main banquet venue.

Lou Qi said: "The scenery ahead is better, you will have a lot of fun. Xiao'er and Mao'er are here, I'll let them accompany you."

Lu Kui whispered to Ning'er, "Lord Lou and the Princess have two daughters and one son. You have seen both daughters. Lou Xiao is the only son of His Highness. As for Lou Mao, he is the eldest son of the eldest branch of the Duke of Ying's mansion."

Ning Er asked quietly, "Isn't Lord Lou the eldest son of the family?"

Lu Kui said, "Lord Lou is the eldest son, but he has a half-brother. Although he married a princess and inherited a title, he is very caring towards his eldest brother and treats Lou Mao as his own son."

When Lu Kui was discussing the owner's family affairs with Ning'er, Chu Yue walked to Lou Qi's side and asked softly, "Uncle, is Aunt here too?"

Lou Qi's mind was completely on Ning Er, and he said nonchalantly: "His Highness is now at the ladies' room, and will meet you during the banquet."

Chu Yue nodded: "Today's banquet seems to be very important. Is the emperor coming?"

Lou Qi was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Chu Yue hurriedly: "Why do you think so?"

Chu Yue smiled and pointed ahead: "Commander Lu, who almost never attends banquets, is here. Isn't he here to protect the emperor?"

Lou Qi said sternly, "Your Majesty's whereabouts, how can we easily spy on him?" He looked at this bold nephew and said, "Just enjoy it with peace of mind."

Chu Yue smiled slightly but said nothing more.

Meanwhile, the other side of the curtain was already bustling with activity. The ladies and young ladies of various mansions, along with their slaves and maids, were dressed in gold and brocade, and surrounded by emerald and pearls.

Madam Zhu was talking to the wife of Duke Dingguo. Madam Ding narrowed her eyes and asked Shen Cunzhu, who was accompanying her, with a smile, "Why do I think your mother has lost some weight?"

Because of not getting a good sleep for several nights, Madam Zhu's eye sockets were noticeably sunken, and no matter how hard she tried to cover them up, she couldn't hide her tiredness.

Shen Cunzhu gently stroked her belly, with a worried look on her face: "Mom, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Her daughter was pregnant, and Old Madam Zhu did not want her to worry about the Marquis's residence, so she smiled and said, "She ate a little more a few days ago, so she retained some food. She was restless for a few nights and didn't sleep well. Now she is fine, and it's nothing serious."

While she was talking, her mind was always paying attention to Luo Miaoyun and Xiang Mengxuan. Before leaving, she was still worried and specifically instructed her second daughter-in-law, suggesting that she pay more attention to Luo.

After experiencing a great change and being confined without seeing the sun for several days, Luo Miaoyun became thinner and paler, but in front of others, she still looked as decent and elegant as before, and there was no sign of decadence in her look.

But Shen Ruyao, who was chatting and laughing with a few young ladies at the side, looked unnatural and kept turning her head to look at her grandmother and mother. Although everything was normal in the Marquis' Mansion these days, no matter where she went or what she did, there were always five or six maids following her.

Whenever she asked about her mother, those people always had a thousand reasons to change the subject; when she went to see her grandmother, she just told her indifferently that her mother was sick and needed to rest.

She had a bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't dare to think too much about it. She was in a daze for a few days, until she saw her mother safe and sound this morning, she couldn't help crying on the road.

"Did you see that?" To Shen Ruyao's right was a charming young lady who was pointing at a tall, bright figure not far away and whispered, "The eldest daughter of the Lin family is almost eighteen years old, but there is still no marriage. I heard people talking behind her back that her family wants to marry her into the royal family."

She curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "I think it's just wishful thinking."

Under normal circumstances, Shen Ruyao would have had a good discussion with her, but she didn't have the mood to do so at this moment. She looked up perfunctorily and then looked away.

The young lady was surprised and asked, "Huh? Why is she here? Could she have heard it?"

Shen Ruyao looked up and saw Lin Ruozhen in red walking up to them in a hurry. She looked around carefully and asked herself, "Miss Shen, why don't you see Miss Ning today? Didn't she come?"

Miss Ning, Shen Ruyao felt disgusted reflexively when she heard this name. She sneered, "Miss Lin, since you are on good terms with her, why don't you ask her instead of asking me?"

Lin Ruozhen rolled her eyes without any hesitation. She was a few years older than them and much taller. She looked down on them and sneered, "If you weren't looking for Ning'er, do you think I wanted to talk to you? I can tell from your unruly look that you bullied her a lot at home. Did you not allow her to come today?"

She was the only one who was domineering and willful, bullying others, but no one else bullied her. Shen Ruyao had never been bullied like this before, so she immediately became anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Ruozhen crossed his arms, glanced at everyone in Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "All five young ladies of your family are here, but Ning'er is not here. Could it be that you did something bad in secret and made her sick?"

Shen Ruyao had never seen such an unreasonable person: "You are simply unreasonable!"

Lin Ruozhen didn't bother to talk to her anymore. He walked straight to the ladies of the Shen family, knelt down and bowed, and saluted gracefully: "Ruozhen greets the old lady and the madam."

She greeted everyone with a smile, and then said respectfully, "Sister Chao Ning and I have always been good friends. I thought we would be able to meet today, but there was no sign of her. Ruozhen, may I ask, why didn't Sister Xiao Shen come today?"
