Chapter 568
On New Year's Eve, a royal banquet is held in the Xinghui Hall in the Grand Palace.

All those attending the banquet were members of the royal family, except for the Prince Regent's Mansion and the Prince Xiang's Mansion, none of the other mansions were absent.

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

"His Majesty is here!"

"The Empress is here!"

The internal servant passed the order, and everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

"The empress dowager is a thousand years old and kind, her majesty's holy body is safe, and the empress's empress is in peace with a phoenix body."

The empress dowager entered the hall first, followed by Zhao Bai and Jiang Chuo, and took the three seats on the main throne.

"Today's New Year's Eve family banquet, you don't need to be too polite, let's be flat." The Empress Dowager said.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Empress Dowager."

Everyone got up and sat down again in their seats.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Bai who was seated upright, and said, "Emperor, on this beautiful occasion, come and have a banquet."

Zhao Bai sneered secretly, and said, "Queen Mother, you are the elder, so you should come."

The Empress Dowager smiled, but she was not polite to him, she held up the wine glass and said: "Everyone, everything is safe in my dynasty, the weather is smooth, and the Zhao family is working together to seek prosperity. I also wish that the coming year will be more prosperous and prosperous.”

After finishing speaking, the empress dowager drank the wine in the glass, and everyone present also drank a glass with her.

……

The silk and bamboo drums sounded, and the singing and dancing began.

The entire Xinghui Palace was prosperous and peaceful, with occasional sounds of discord.

A clan member picked up the wine glass and chatted with the people on the left and right.

"I knew that the Prince Regent and his wife would not be present today."

"Not only the Prince Regent and his wife, Lord Shen and Princess Shuyue were not present, even King Xiang and his wife were not present."

"The Prince Regent has been dismissed from his position now, and the so-called Prince Regent has only an empty title left. How can he be worthy of the great trust of the late Emperor? Even if he came, he would only be humiliating himself."

"This Shen Qingshi is the elder brother of the princess regent. He relied on his brother-in-law and the Yue family to get his status today. Now that he has been suspended and the prince regent has lost his position, Tanhua, who was born in a merchant, has no face to sit with us? "

"Keep your voices down, if King Heng and King Ling hear you, won't you cause trouble?"

"Heh... Now King Ling should hate himself for being wrong and choosing Shen Qingshi as his son-in-law. If he married my family back then, why did he end up in such a state? He harmed Princess Shuyue for nothing."

Hearing their conversation, two more clan members came over with wine glasses and joined them.

"In my opinion, princess Shuyue should have reconciled with Shen Qingshi early on. The princess is still young and has a noble status. Just choose a good family and marry another."

"Eh? Why isn't King Xiang here?"

"I heard that the Anning County Lord encountered bandits on the way back to the mansion, and his life was in danger, so he didn't come."

"The people in Shen's residence are real, even the county lord can't protect them well, and they make trouble everywhere."

"I actually think that before Princess Shuyue reconciles with Shen Qingshi, Prince Xiang's Mansion will reconcile with Shen's family first."

……

Ye Zhuofan on the side glanced at them, snorted coldly with disdain, and then stood up holding the wine glass.

"Zhuofan, why are you going?" the eldest princess asked.

"Those guys must be talking bad things about the Shen family and the Prince Regent's Palace," Ye Zhuofan said.

"Let them go." The eldest princess said.

"How can I do that? I can't let my sister's natal family be talked about by such people for nothing. These guys will chew their tongues behind their backs every day when they are full and have nothing to do."

Ye Zhuofan said, and walked behind them with a wine glass.

Several people didn't notice his arrival at first, and they were still discussing endlessly.

"Princess Shuyue is a virtuous and virtuous princess. If Prince Ling's mansion and the Shen family reconcile, I will prepare congratulatory gifts to congratulate King Ling and the eldest princess."

"I think Princess Shuyue is a good match for your little lord. Maybe there will be a happy marriage at that time. Why not do it?"

"Hahaha... Then I will borrow your good words."

……

"You want to marry my sister just because of that ignorant thing in your family?" Ye Zhuofan couldn't listen anymore.

Only then did everyone realize his arrival, and quickly saluted and greeted him.

"Sir..."

Ye Zhuofan sneered, "Fortunately, you are still members of the royal family, and you gossip behind your back. What's the difference between you and those gossip women? Even if my sister reconciles, our Ling Palace will not marry someone of your kind. You all take care of me." If my own mouth dares to gossip again and again, I will definitely not let you off lightly!"

After all, Ye Zhuofan finished his glass of wine, turned and left.

Although the few people in the original place were very unconvinced, they still didn't dare to discuss any further, and returned to their respective positions.

Ye Zhuofan felt a little depressed, so he didn't go back to the table directly, and handed the wine glass to the maid, and left the hall alone, standing under the lamp and watching the snowflakes flying outside.

"What's the matter, son?" Zhao Lening, the daughter of Prince Kang's mansion, came over.

Ye Zhuofan glanced at her and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Come out to get some air, can't you?" Zhao Lening said.

Ye Zhuofan didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he walked to the other side.

Zhao Lening followed, smiled and said, "I know what you're bothered about. You're worried about the situation of your sister, Princess Shuyue, right?"

"Is the county lord here to add insult to injury?" Ye Zhuofan asked.

"That's not true. I have admired Princess Shuyue since I was a child, and I have always followed her as an example. I never thought that God would not show mercy and let her marry such a family." Zhao Lening said.

"What kind of family?" Ye Zhuofan was a little impatient.

"Of course it's a family like the Shen family! The Shen family was originally a merchant, and they had nothing but money. Maybe Shen Qingshi's position as a foreigner was also due to the use of money. In order to climb up all the way, the princess regent, She didn't hesitate to spend money to put on airs, and finally married Brother Linchuan. Otherwise, she is not worthy to be a maid for Brother Linchuan." Zhao Lening said.

Ye Zhuofan clenched his fists secretly, he respected his brother-in-law very much, and respected the princess regent as a person, Zhao Lening dared to slander them in front of him!
"Master Le Ning, why do you think that the Shen family has nothing but money, if your Kang Wang Mansion is allowed to do business, will your Kang Wang Manor have the ability to reach the current height of the Shen family?" Ye Zhuofan said.

"What's the point? Our Kangwang Mansion doesn't bother doing business!" Zhao Lening said.

"The Lord Lening County is high above the ground and doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Do you think that you are nobler than others after reading a few books? Also, why do you think that the concubine's sister-in-law is not worthy to marry her cousin Linchuan? The concubine's sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy, Kind-hearted, not only how many times stronger than people like you!" Ye Zhuofan said.

Zhao Lening was very dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Hey! Ye Zhuofan! You and I are members of the royal family, and you actually insulted me because of a merchant like the Shen family? Are you mistaken? I also feel sorry for Sister Shuyue, okay?"

"It's ridiculous for you to say that my sister is an example... My sister will never look down on anyone because of her background, nor will she speak nonsense without evidence, and she will not speak out behind her back with a superior attitude! In the future, don't Besides, you follow my sister as an example, you are not worthy!"

After Ye Zhuofan finished speaking, he turned and went back to the main hall.

Zhao Lening stomped his feet in anger, Ye Zhuofan is really hopeless!
