Hua Yuan fidgeted around for a long time. Even the empress dowager, seated in her high seat, couldn't help but glance in her direction a few times.

Hua Zimo smiled and said, ”Are you afraid that you will be laughed at if you send them over due to your poor skills in front of so many people?”

Hua Yuan pouted and said, ”Big brother, don't spout nonsense. When did our needlework become bad? Otherwise, return the money you have on you to me. ”

Then she looked at her sister-in-law and smiled. ”Ah, since brother has a wife now, when you need her to help you with whatever else you need. He definitely doesn't care about this little sister of his. No wonder you want to offend me now! ”Humph!”

Hua Yuan's voice was neither loud nor loud, but Sui Qianying clearly understood what she said.

Hua Zimo looked at Hua Yuan with a doting look and said, ”Alright, your sister-in-law is pregnant now. Don't disturb her!”

Hua Yuan pouted and said, ”No wonder my wife and sister-in-law aren't getting along well. I feel a deep sense of loss right now. I feel like my older brother was taken away by you, sister-in-law. ”Big brother, you have to be nice to me. Otherwise, if I become that kind of sister-in-law who fights against sister-in-law, wouldn't it be a headache for you!”

Hua Zimo felt that his head was already hurting.

Hua Yuan said, ”Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore. Now that it's our turn to deliver the gift, we'll head up now.”

Ducho went with Hua Yuan.

Both of them did needlework.

Ducho made two pairs of socks, and Hua Yuan made a dress. The two of them walked next to each other towards their position. At this moment, Hua Yuan also knew what gift Du Qiao was giving. She whispered into Du Qiao's ear, ”If I had known that you were giving me this, I would have taken my clothes to give you this gift!”

Ducho knew what Huayuan meant. ”Even if I gave her a pair of socks, it was my intention.”

Hua Yuan said, ”With your socks as a comparison, I'm no longer worried that the empress dowager will think that I didn't wholeheartedly prepare her birthday present and use a piece of clothing to trick her!”

Du Qiao pursed her lips. Who could she blame for her poor needlework?

The two presented the items as the empress dowager squinted her eyes with a happy smile. ”Aren't you two little girls already done discussing what presents you're going to give me?”

Hua Yuan and Du Qiao looked at each other, then shook their heads together.

”Alright, alright. This Dowager knows that this is all part of your heart. The two of you are both good kids.”

Hua Yuan and Du Qiao stuck out their tongues before returning to their seats.

Although Hua Yufei was right next to Dugu Ye, she had her back to him. The two of them did not sit at the same table. That table was filled with aristocratic families that were on good terms with the Dugu Family. Dugu Ye was not stupid, how could he let Hua Yufei sit at the same table as him?

The two of them had no friends, and even Dugu Ye could only be described as a romantic. However, if she were to pull him along and sit with her in such a situation, wouldn't that mean she was admitting her position in a disguised manner?

He would be the one to be laughed at by all the young talents in the capital!

It was impossible for him, Dugu Ye, to allow such a thing to happen!

He originally thought that participating in this palace banquet would only add fuel to the fire for Hua Yuan and the rest. He never thought that he would encounter such a situation. Now that he thought about it, wasn't he the one who was laughed at by them?

She felt as if all the people around her were looking at her with strange gazes.

He had had enough!

She wanted to turn around and talk to Dugu Ye, even if she knew that Dugu Ye was only toying with her. But perhaps it was because their bodies were already so familiar with each other, Hua Yufei felt that in this world, Dugu Ye was the only one who was close to her! Besides, the two of them had a common enemy — neither of them wanted Hua Yuan to live a good life!

However, it was also because of Dugu Ye that he had been humiliated like this today!

Hua Yufei suddenly felt a little chaotic. She didn't even know who she should hate anymore!
