    Weiyuan came late, and not long after speaking, the auspicious time arrived.

    When the birthday banquet started, Song Wan and Wei Yuan were not seated at the same table. Before sitting down, Wei Yuan patted Song Wan's hand and whispered: "Don't leave in a hurry after eating, wait for me."

    It was a rare trip out of the palace, and she wanted to talk to Song Wan.

    Song Wan nodded in agreement and found a seat with Song Qiuse. As soon as he sat down, Tao Qiaoqiao came over with Qian Ling.

    Like in Qiu Lie, Tao Qiaoqiao's seat was next to Song Wan's.

    When Tao Qiaoqiao came over, other ladies from aristocratic families also came over. After taking their seats, there was only one seat left. Tao Qiaoqiao frowned and asked, "Why is there only one seat left?"

    "One of the ladies from the aristocratic family said: "This is the seat of honor specially reserved for the princess. Does the princess think there is anything wrong with it?"

    Of course it¡¯s inappropriate.

    There is only room for her, so where should Qian Ling sit?

    Tao Qiaoqiao turned around and wanted to find a servant to add another seat. The lady from the aristocratic family saw Tao Qiaoqiao's intention and said, "I heard that the princess is not restricted in Yuanfeng County and there are not so many rules, but the servant  Doesn¡¯t the princess know this simple rule that you are not allowed to sit at the same table with the master?¡±

    Tao Qiaoqiao said seriously: "Her name is Qian Ling, she is not a servant, she is my sister."

    "Sister?" The man raised his voice slightly, "Why have I never heard that Governor Tao has two daughters, and they have different surnames from him?"

    Tao Qiaoqiao said: "I have written a family letter and sent it back to Yuanfeng County. Soon she will be included in the Tao family's genealogy."

    Tao Qiaoqiao is serious. Since she said she would protect Qian Ling, she will protect her with actual actions.

    But that¡¯s not the case when it comes to other people¡¯s ears.

    Although Princess Tao Qiaoqiao came to Beijing on orders, the Tao family has little foundation in Hanjing. Tao Qiaoqiao will return to Yuanfeng County in a while. She is only allowed to sit at the head of the table today.  Look at the imperial edict calling her to Beijing.

    In the eyes of these wealthy families, Tao Qiaoqiao is nothing, let alone Qian Ling, a little-known god-sister.

    The letter home has been sent back to Yuanfeng County. Whether Governor Tao is willing to be a father is another matter.

    The young lady said: "It turns out that she is really the princess's sister. The princess should have told the governor's wife earlier. Now it is a bit embarrassing to add a seat temporarily."

    In fact, the food for this kind of banquet is expected to be sufficient. Let alone adding one more seat, it is no problem to add one or two more banquet tables. The key depends on the status of the person making the request.

    Qian Ling pulled Tao Qiaoqiao's sleeve and whispered, "Princess, forget it, I'll just stand by and help you prepare the dishes."

    Qian Ling's voice was low, but Song Wan and Song Qiuse were sitting close to each other, so he could still hear the two points of grievance in her words.

    Tao Qiaoqiao put Qian Ling in his seat and said, "You sit down first, and I'll go to the governor's wife to add a seat."

    After Tao Qiaoqiao was about to leave, someone said dissatisfiedly: "Princess, no matter which mansion holds the banquet, these seats are carefully arranged. If the princess wants to add more seats, it is better to bring this sister with her."

    Tao Qiaoqiao asked: "Isn't it okay if I go and negotiate and then come and take her away?"

    "Of course not," the man said, "today's banquet is arranged according to status. The princess came to the capital under the order, so she sat in the main seat, but this girl is just the sister that the princess recognized in Hanjing, and it really doesn't matter.  I am qualified to sit on the throne. I know that the princess is used to being unfettered and does not mean to look down on us, but since we are sitting here and understand the rules, we cannot belittle ourselves."

    Hearing this, Qian Ling stood up in fear and looked at Song Wan unconsciously.

    With a hint of asking for help.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
