The Second Lady of the Chu Family nodded in understanding.

She knew all of this.

When the Crown Prince Consort needed something, she would always ask her maid to pa.s.s it on to her at the mansion. Although the maid never gave the message explicitly, the Second Lady of the Chu Family knew pretty well what she meant. Born by a concubine, the Second Lady of the Chu Family grew up, at the mansion, after all, and she had witnessed those tricks. The Second Lady of the Chu Family was definitely going to make the conflict happen.

The moment she received the message, she had spoken with the n.o.ble ladies from different mansions, telling them what they should do. Apart from herself, all the other ladies understood the current situation – they were going to do what the Crown Prince Consort asked them to.

The Court and their homes were in the same situation.

!!

Everyone understood that the Crown Prince was going to take the throne, so the n.o.ble ladies already took their sides. When the officers and ministers in the court took their sides, the ladies followed suit.

So no matter what Gu Chaoyan was like, they would definitely follow the Crown Prince Consort’s order.

The Second Lady of the Chu Family nodded without hesitation, as Gu Ruxue spoke. Then she gave a look to the rest of the ladies.

Those ladies knew what they ought to do.

They all came to Gu Ruxue and flattered her. Ladies did not drink alcohol, nor did they dare to make a toast to the Crown Prince Consort, but they expressed their respect by drinking some tea.

Suddenly, Gu Ruxue was surrounded by the madames and ladies, each of whom looked extremely polite and flattering.

That made Gu Ruxue feel much more comfortable.

She had been so annoyed a while ago.

Those madames and ladies might think Gu Chaoyan pretty, but so what? She was going to marry Lord Huai who was fading away, whilst Lord Huai might not even have any intention of marrying her. However, Gu Ruxue believed that she was not only beautiful, she was also the Crown Prince Consort, who was going to be the Queen in the future. She, who was in a n.o.ble position, did not have to split hairs with someone like Gu Chaoyan.

In this way, Gu Ruxue felt slightly better.

She smiled at the madames and ladies.

Therefore, no one sat next to Gu Chaoyan, nor was there anyone speaking to her. She was just seated there with her maid, displaying a vivid contrast to the scene.

Gu Ruxue glanced at Gu Chaoyan, with an ironic smile.

Gu Chaoyan just nodded briefly and continued to drink her tea.

Gu Ruxue was surrounded by many people, and so was the Crown Prince in the front hall. The Crown Prince was the favorite son of the King and he had his own power. He married the Phoenix Girl, and his future was almost settled.

Those attendees, who had no chance to drink with the Crown Prince, took this occasion at Madame Ming’s banquet and started to make toasts.

Everyone started to show flattering respect to the Crown Prince, since they were Young Masters of the capital, who expected to have a promising future, just like Gu Yunhe.

Within a few seconds the Crown Prince was surrounded by guests in the front hall, whilst in the back hall, Gu Ruxue was surrounded by many people.

What a prosperous scene!

However, the Min Family were not very happy about this.
