In the Western Suburbs Villa, all the courtiers and family members of the Crown Prince came this time. Therefore, Huo Hongying, Mu Ying, mother and son looked particularly different, and inevitably attracted a lot of attention.
Mu Ying knelt down and sat in the banquet with a graceful manner. Her grace and bearing were not inferior to those of the ladies from the aristocratic family present. In a trance, people forgot that she was once the wife of a guilty minister.
Xiao Yulang was born with a cute Yuxue, and he recently practiced martial arts with Huo Yi, and his stature has grown rapidly. He looks like a young man of thirteen or fourteen rather than a seven or eight-year-old child.
In addition, he walked in the shadows every night and saw all kinds of monsters and ghosts. Now he was looking at everyone, without showing any timidity. He was very calm and composed, with an air of magnanimity, even better than those noble young masters from aristocratic families.
The mother and son were just sitting there, doing nothing, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Some people were amazed, others were curious, and there was no room for discussion among themselves.
After knowing the identities of the mother and son, everyone looked at them with contempt and ridicule.
When Huo Hongying heard these gossips, she glared directly at the gossipers.
"Dogs look down upon people. What do these people know!"
"Really speaking of family background, the Mu family is also a family of martial arts. Sister Mu, you grew up with Mrs. Zhenguo Hou. But these guys, when the Mu family and Zhenguo Houfu were prominent, their elders were still there. Peeing and playing in the mud in the field!”
Huo Hongying's mouth was like shooting indiscriminately, and the female relatives were indignant. However, there were not only female relatives at the banquet today, but also officials from the prince's party. Naturally, they would not lower themselves to the same level as Huo Hongying.
The main reason is that no one is afraid of Huo Yi's fists. Previously, officials had interfered with Huo Yi's sister-in-law and left her powerless against the court officials. Huo Yi did not have an attack at that time.
When Na Yanguan was on duty, he was put in a sack and beaten into a pig's head on the street.
Therefore, the officials in the DPRK also took a detour when they saw the Huo brothers and sisters.
Most of the officials attending today's banquet had heard some rumors before they came. Knowing that the prince intended to adopt the Wang family's youngest son as his adopted son, they naturally restrained their own female relatives.
Those who couldn't keep their mouths shut were glared hard by their father and husband as a warning.
For a time, no one dared to compete with Huo Hongying.
Huo Hongying curled her lips. Instead of feeling proud, she felt more wary. She whispered to Mu Ying:
"This group of people didn't even talk back. It seems that this Hongmen Banquet has serious intentions. We should be more careful."
Mu Ying nodded, his face unchanged and his heart never relaxed.
"Don't worry, little Senior Sister, nothing will happen to you."
Unlike the two women who were wary, Xiao Yulang was very calm.
"Our little nephew has a good attitude." Huo Hongying looked at Xiao Yulang's little adult look, and her heart became more and more fond of him.
Alas, her eldest brother is such a loser. They say that those who are close to water and towers get to the moon first. When will she change her name to nephew?
At this moment, everyone at the table stood up one after another, and Huo Hongying looked up with a look of surprise.
"Greetings to Mrs. She."
"I have met Mrs. Wang Ruyang."
I saw a gray-haired old lady holding a dragon-headed staff and walking slowly with the support of a young boy.
There are seven or eight maidservants at the rear, who are quite majestic.
The old lady looked kind and always had a smile on her face.
The court officials and family members present had different expressions and secretly exchanged glances. No one expected that the old lady from Ruyang Palace would come.
"Old lady! You're finally here!" Huo Hongying stepped forward and held the old lady's other side affectionately.
"You little bastard, the old lady heard your yelling even outside." Mrs. She gave her a nod.
Huo Hongying chuckled and stuck out her tongue, "Old lady, you haven't met Sister Mu yet, have you?"
Mrs. She nodded, and the old man looked in the direction of Mu Ying. Mu Ying had already stood up, and when he saw this, he brought his child forward to greet him.
"Mu Ying pays homage to the old lady."
Mrs. She smiled kindly, let go of the young man next to her, and took the initiative to hold Mu Ying's hand. Although the old man was old, his eyes were clear and moist.
She looked at Mu Ying with a nostalgic expression.
"When I look at you, I think of my old sister. My child, I have suffered so much for you these years."
Mu Ying was stunned. The 'old sister' in Mrs. She's mouth was naturally referring to her grandmother, Mrs. Mu, who had passed away.
Mu Ying's eyes were slightly red, "It's Mu Ying's blessing that Mrs. Lao has forgotten her."
The old lady sighed, slipped the jade bracelet from her wrist, and put it on Mu Ying's wrist. Mu Ying wanted to refuse, but the old man held her hand firmly.
"It's a gift from the elders. Take it."
"Thank you, old lady." Mu Ying was moved in her heart. The old man's eyes fell on Wang Yulang, and his smile became a little deeper.
"I like this child's aura when I see it. It's really a match for my eyes. Xiao Wu, what do you think?"
The young man next to the old man was dressed in a red brocade robe. He was noble and handsome. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old and had two small tiger teeth when he smiled:
"My grandson also feels that he is very close to this younger brother."
The young man said and took the initiative to hold Wang Yulang's hand, "Brother Yulang, I am Chu Xiuwen. You can call me brother Xiuwen."
"Hello, brother Xiuwen." Xiao Yulang shouted sharply.
Chu Xiuwen liked this little brother at first sight and looked at his grandmother eagerly.
Mrs. She smiled and said: "Xiu Wen has wanted a younger brother since he was a child. Now is the time. I see that the two boys are so in love with each other. How about we become brothers with different surnames?"
As soon as these words came out, even Huo Hongying was surprised.
She blinked, knowing that Mrs. She was invited by her eldest brother to help, but this time the Mrs. She came to help in an unusual way.
You must know that when the old lady asked her grandson to sworn sworn brothers with Xiao Yulang, it was not only the identities of Mu Ying and her son that were valued, but also their seniority!
Although Chu Xiuwen is young, he is quite senior. In terms of age, he is the same generation as the prince.
If he and Xiao Yulang were sworn sworn brothers, how could the prince accept this adopted son?
The guests looked at each other with different expressions.
"No!" A female voice suddenly sounded, but it was Situ Wei who came quickly with the maids.
Everyone at the banquet stood up to greet him.
Situ Wei obviously came here in a hurry. When she saw Mrs. She, the anger flashed in her eyes.
She obviously didn't invite this old woman to the banquet today, but she just showed up uninvited and ruined her good deeds!
Situ Wei was so angry that she had worked so hard to get the dragon ball just when she was proud. She had just coaxed the prince and fed him the antidote, and was waiting to come with the prince to adopt Wang Yulang as his adopted son.
At that time, the antidote will take effect, which will also fulfill her theory of "transportation of adopted son".
But this old woman from Ruyang Prince's Mansion came out to disrupt the situation!
It was difficult for the prince to travel at the moment, so Situ Wei had to rush over first.
Mrs. She is of the first rank, and she is His Majesty's cousin, so her rank and seniority are above those of the concubines of the East Palace.
Situ Wei came over aggressively, but the old lady just looked at her and snorted coldly:
"My grandson is sworn sworn brother with the Wang family, why not? The concubine's control is quite broad, and she is so powerful that I almost thought it was the crown princess who came!"
Situ Wei's expression changed slightly, she already hated this dead old woman in her heart, and she had to pretend to be a junior on her face.
"Greetings to the old lady, the old lady's words are serious. I am here to stand up for the prince. His highness has long fallen in love with the young man of the Wang family and wants to adopt him as his adopted son."
"If the young prince becomes sworn brother to the young man of the Wang family, wouldn't it mess up the hierarchy of generations?"
Mrs. She snorted, her voice neither soft nor serious, but her majesty did not diminish: "It seems that the concubine did not hear what I just said."
"If the prince wants to adopt an adopted son, it is natural for the prince to come forward. Otherwise, the crown prince should come out from the main palace. As for why do you have the right to speak on the prince's behalf?"
Situ Wei almost broke her silver teeth.
This old prostitute came to cause trouble on purpose, right?
"Just because she came here on Gu's orders." The prince arrived a little later, and the others were still sitting on the carriage, surrounded by curtains, blocking their appearance.
The main reason was that he was still ill and was out of breath after taking only two steps. The 'fish scales' had grown to his neck and he couldn't see anyone at all. Fortunately, he let Situ Wei come over first.
Otherwise, the 'Transportation Fuwa' he was interested in would almost fly away!
The prince also felt resentment in his heart, and said in a bad tone: "The concubine is a lady from a famous family, the daughter of the right minister, and she is the head of Anping County personally named by the father. The old lady is highly respected, why should she be at odds with the younger generation!"
Situ Wei pretended to show her grievance, and at this moment, a high-pitched female voice sounded.
"His Royal Highness, what you said is wrong. The current concubine of the East Palace is transformed into a monster. She is definitely not my Anping!"
Mrs. Right Prime Minister and Situ Mingyue broke into the banquet with a group of servants.
All the guests in the hall were shocked when they heard this.
Situ Wei's expression changed slightly, and for a moment she almost lost control of her expression, panic welling up in her heart!
Why are these two bitches here? What do they mean?
Have you exposed yourself?
