Gu Ruxue looked extremely confident.0

Well…

That was because she was the Crown Prince Consort and the Phoenix Girl, so she believed that anyone with a brain would know what they ought to do, especially when she of her own accord asked them to join her. She was surrounded by madams and ladies, and many of the wives of the ministers were flattering her.

She once asked Mrs. Min to join in on a banquet in the court before, but Mrs. Min did not really answer her request. Nevertheless, she did not care about what happened in the past, and she was even willing to showcase her generosity once again. That was because she knew well that she could offend anyone, but not Mrs. Min, because if Mrs. Min was offended, there was no other way for her to spin the tale.

So Gu Ruxue decided to drop it.

As long as Mrs. Min could please her this time, she could ignore what happened before.

However, she also understood that Mrs. Min was quite unique in personality, so she was worried that if she did not say something, Mrs. Min would not have thought about joining her.

So she spoke straightforwardly. Therefore, Mrs. Min would definitely have to join her.

That was right…

She should not offend Mrs. Min, but Mrs. Min should understand that if she ever offended the Crown Prince Consort and the Phoenix Girl, something bad would happen to her.

Therefore, Gu Ruxue believed that Mrs. Min would do as she said.

She had just finished speaking, when she asked Ming to prepare the tea. Ming started to pour the tea whileGu Ruxue waited, looking really confident.

Mrs. Min threw a calm look at Gu Ruxue, nodded but did not go to her. Instead, she went to Gu Chaoyan and sat down next to her.

Everyone was looking at Mrs. Min and Gu Chaoyan, including Gu Ruxue.

Mrs. Min was a very influential woman in the capital.

And the exact reason why the Min Family was still the most influential noble family in the capital was because Mrs. Min was there, showing her power.

Mrs. Min chose to speak with Gu Chaoyan instead of the Crown Prince Consort which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Lord Huai was not as influential as before, so who would ever try to get closer to Lord Huai?

Seeing how Mrs. Min reacted… the other ladies and madams all went quiet. They did not dare to say anything when all those powerful people were around, in case they caused trouble in the court.

Gu Ruxue's fingernail broke because of the force she used. She looked extremely annoyed.

She had intended to humiliate Gu Chaoyan at the birthday banquet, so that she could understand what position she and Lord Huai were in, and so that she would offer Yellow Crane of her own accord, but it turned out that she was the one that was humiliated all day.

Gu Ruxue could not stand it anymore, so she smashed the teacup to the ground.

With a loud crash, the teacup was smashed.

It became very quiet in both the front and back halls.

Seeing this, the Second Lady of the Chu Family quickly said, "The Crown Prince Consort is just careless!"

Gu Ruxue frowned and glared at the Second Lady of the Chu Family, then slapped her right in the face.
