"My wife, there must be a reason for you to ask Shangguan Yi. What did you discover?" Of course, Meng Ling Xuan knew that his wife wouldn't ask others for no reason. If she hadn't discovered something, she wouldn't have said it either.

"It's nothing. I was just guessing. Since they won't admit it, then we shouldn't ask directly." Song Xiangsi felt a little strange. According to Shangguan Yi's character, if it was really not him, she would probably cause a ruckus and say bad things about herself.

To be able to remain so calm today, there was indeed something fishy. Unconsciously, it increased her suspicion.

"Mhmm, no matter what happens, I will always stand by my wife's side. Today, I won't let anyone bully my wife." Although he said this righteously, he snatched away a piece of dessert that Song Xiangsi had finally made for him.

Song Xiangsi rolled her eyes as she looked at Meng Ling Xuan. Did this guy really love her? Why are you snatching my food?

However, very quickly, her attention was attracted by another man. More accurately, it was shock!

The last time I took a quick look at it, it was a bit embarrassing. Song Xiangsi did not expect to see Bai Ruo here, the clean man who asked her to treat him to tea.

"Why are you so late?" Before Song Xiangsi could say anything, Meng Ling Xuan had already stepped forward and pulled Bai Ruo over, looking very familiar with her.

This time, it was Song Xiangsi's turn to panic. So they knew each other? Wouldn't he be discovered that day?

"Mm, we were delayed on the way. Those women are annoying, you know. " Ah? Didn't he find out? Song Xiangsi carefully turned her back to Bai Ruo, as if she couldn't see her.

From far away, Bai Ruo saw the little girl that had drawn her attention. However, she seemed to have already decided on something. It seemed like she came too late.

"This is my wife, and this is Bai Ruo, my brother who I grew up with in the capital. Hurry, call me sister-in-law. " Logically speaking, Meng Ling Xuan should be a few months older than Bai Zhuo. Therefore, calling him sister-in-law wasn't too excessive.

However, Bai Ruo just didn't want to do it. Song Xiangsi was already very grateful towards him for not telling her what happened that day. How could she dare to let him call her sister-in-law?

"There's no need for sister-in-law, we just met. Just call her by her name." Song Xiangsi felt somewhat guilty. Her small hand grabbed onto Meng Ling Xuan's sleeve as she prepared to leave this place.

Of course, when Bai Ruo saw this action, she also didn't expect that the person she had people inquire about was actually her brother's woman.

Forget it, Bai Ruo was so perfect. What kind of woman did he want? Knowing that Song Xiangsi was already married, he naturally gave up.

"Bro, I still have to leave in advance. You guys are all having fun. I'll go visit the princess and then leave." Originally, she was very happy. However, when she saw Song Xiangsi holding onto her love for him, Bai Ruo did not have the heart to continue staying here.

"Mm, go ahead." This fellow had finally left. Song Xiangsi heaved a sigh of relief.

She seemed to have felt the young lady's earlier nervousness and now felt much better. She even thought that she was afraid of strangers.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. With me here, no one will bully you." Ye Zichen patted his wife's head with his right hand. This was someone he had to protect.

The banquet had begun and everyone had taken their seats. In order to take into account his wife's mood, Meng Ling Xuan had specially found a relatively remote corner.

Initially, based on his identity, he should be sitting at the highest table. However, there were many people here, and the people from the Princess' Mansion weren't everything. It was hard to avoid some negligence.

"Eh? "Where's my royal brother? Is he not here?" Suddenly, the princess's greeting startled everyone present. What was going on?

Anyone who could be cared for by the princess must be very important. Everyone was looking for the crown prince that the princess was talking about, and someone in the crowd suddenly said that it was "on their table".

"Aiya, big brother Crown Prince, why are you sitting here?" "Come with me quickly. It's good to view the scenery at the front. I specially hired a crew today, but they were my brother's favorites when he was young." It could be said that it was the highest honor for a princess to bring someone.

However, the person the princess was concerned about was not a common person. It was only now did everyone realize that the crown prince was personally conferred by the current emperor. His age was about the same as the emperor's, but he was also well-mannered.

"Princess, I'm fine here. My lady doesn't like lively places. Let's do it here." Although he didn't want to embarrass the princess, his wife still had to rely on herself to protect her.

At this moment, Song Xiangsi was also feeling awkward, as if she was the one who was unnecessary. She did not know what this princess meant.

And what was even more embarrassing was that he had asked Princess Meng Liuxuan about her preferences before and guessed the color that she liked. Today, he happened to bump into her. This was a huge taboo.

Only after hearing Meng Liangxuan's words did the princess notice Song Xiangsi, who was sitting beside him. Seeing the two of them wearing similar colors, she could not help but feel curious and conflicted with this woman.

"Actually, I don't care. Otherwise, you can go. I'm fine by myself." Seeing the two of them in such a stalemate, Song Xiangsi retreated in order to leave a good impression on the princess.

She was afraid of so many people, but she wasn't afraid of the eyes of others. She was just looking at people making wild guesses. It didn't feel good.

Another thing that she hadn't forgotten was that someone had called her over today, so she would definitely embarrass herself when there were many people around. She had long since prepared for this.

"Since sister-in-law has already said so, Crown Prince brother will go with me to the front, sister-in-law will also go along." The last sentence the princess said was very casual.

She also did not expect that the person she liked since she was young would actually be married, and did not tell her either.

"What is it? How can you not tell your sister? " The princess felt wronged, and tears began to flow down her cheeks. She was not in the mood to continue watching the performance on the stage.

Meng Ling Xuan had long since disliked those things, and was in no mood to watch them. Seeing the princess suddenly shed tears, he felt a bit of heartache, but more than that, he was puzzled.

"When I left the capital, we were on good terms." He had never had any feelings for the princess, so it was just right.

At the side, Song Xiangsi watched the show with fascination. She had originally thought that she did not like this classical thing, but that vivid story had really captivated her.

"Alright, I wish brother and sister-in-law happiness." Although the princess was sad, there was nothing she could do about it. She should still have the bearing of a princess, so she gave a toast to Meng Ling Xuan and Song Xiangsi.

"You too. You must be happy in the future." Meng Fanxuan drained the cup in one gulp, snatched the cup of wine that Song Xiangsi was about to drink, and drank it all.

"You're not allowed to drink." Song Xiangsi felt wronged, but the princess was jealous.
