The empress held a banquet to celebrate and received the emperor's approval. He then placed the banquet in the Flower Lover Pavilion next to the imperial garden. The pavilion was not big, but it was exquisite and exquisite.
If you are tired and drunk, you can go upstairs to see the stars and the moon. The Flower Lover Pavilion had a maximum of five floors. Normally, the Emperor's Qi wouldn't even have the chance to come here. It was also because of the empress's light that he was able to come here, and on the other hand, it was a clear declaration of the empress's noble status and power.
After King Yi was conferred the title of King, he was not allowed to enter and leave the harem freely. It saved him the trouble of running to the palace. He had never been in the mood for these sorts of things before. This morning was yet another complicated ceremony, and the empress had thought that he wouldn't come at all. She hadn't expected that he would have already changed his clothes and prepared for it.
When Song Qing and Yu arrived, they walked very early. The maidservant was also not allowed to take another step forward. Nannan was waiting at the usual place in the carriage.
Three times the palace maids led them through an arched corridor. After passing through three pavilions. The afterglow of the evening sun shone on the ground. Song Qingyu and Song Shu supported the old mistress into the pavilion.
The lights were already on inside.
It was as beautiful as daytime.
The seats of the Song Residence were placed opposite to the Su Residence. This was because the madame had already planned this long ago, and had instead placed Song Shu at the front so that the empress would notice.
The empress hadn't arrived yet, but everyone had already noticed this little stranger.
As soon as he entered, the first person to grab his attention was the beautiful Song Qingyu. Song Qingyu was dressed in a clean set of clothes. On his right wrist was an emerald green bracelet. He wore it around his head, with his hair hanging down onto his long, blue dress.
Although she was very clean, she gave people a feeling that she was too beautiful to accept, and just so happened to have a different temperament when compared to Su Sining who arrived early in the morning.
Song Qingyu had a natural disposition.
It was an eye that made people jealous.
However, everyone knew that Song Qingyu was the future Imperial Concubine Yu. The final result was already set in the hearts of everyone. They only thought that Song Qing and Yu Sheng looked good, but they didn't think about arguing with her.
However, when she took her seat, there was someone seated in front of her.
All the seats were clearly arranged.
The crowd's gaze unconsciously fell on Song Shu. It was her first time out so many people had not seen her face.
The little girl's clothes were gorgeous, but it didn't feel heavy at all. She was clearly wearing a dark long skirt, but it only served to accentuate her agility. No one knew who it was. He couldn't help but size her up a few more times, comparing her to himself.
After all, Song Shu was a calm person. This was her first time at a royal banquet, but she did not show any signs of stage fright. The madame transferred Song Qingyu and Song Shu's seats to each other, even though they were still at the same table.
She also secretly used Song Qingyu's name to give her name. This way, everyone would pay attention to Song Shu.
Song Qingyu was well aware of this, but he did not show it. Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him. Song Qingyu held the cup tightly and looked at him. The man had already retracted his gaze.
Song Qingyu looked in that direction.
He saw the cold expression on Susining's face.
Susning was still brooding over this matter regarding Sushi Qi.
The corners of Song Qingyu's mouth curled up in a sneer.
The eunuch suddenly announced in a loud voice, "The empress has arrived."
Then, everyone in the sect walked out of their seats and lined up in two rows to pay their respects. "We pay our respects to the esteemed empress. The empress has lived for thousands of years."
"No." The empress gently raised her elegant and graceful hand before sitting down at the same time. He placed his hands on his sides. The bright red phoenix robe caressed the seat.
Everyone returned to their seats at the same time.
"Today, I have invited everyone here. Firstly, to celebrate King Yi's happy occasion, secondly, to chat about family matters, and thirdly, for the feast that was held last time. I apologize for being inconsiderate."
The empress's voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable certainty.
Actually, the empress didn't need to put it that way. No one would remember the empress making things difficult for them just to have a chance to enter the palace.
Sure enough, after the empress's words, everyone was deeply grateful.
"Esteemed empress, you're being too serious." The noblewoman smiled, and flattered him with a three-tenths caution, "It's all my fault for not being strict with her and losing my identity. I hope esteemed empress won't take offense. "
It was Muppet who caught fire that day, and the others were frightened. Hearing this, they all agreed. Even the Mu Clan responded with a smile. It was not because he was talking about Mu Pei'er that his heart was in turmoil. However, Mu Yin'er wasn't there. It was her younger sister, Mu Yin'er.
The result was just as the empress had expected. She sat up straight with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Since it's a banquet, there's no need to stand on ceremony." The queen said.
Everyone answered.
The banquet soon became lively. Because it was the empress's orders, the noble ladies stayed to listen to the empress. The young ladies had already dispersed, gathering in groups of two or three to admire the garden or go up the pavilion.
Just as Song Qingyu stood up to leave, a young eunuch walked over and greeted him respectfully in a low voice, "Is that the Fourth Miss of the Song Clan?"
A look of joy appeared on the Old Granny's face, and she grabbed onto Song Shu's hand, "This is the Fourth Girl."
When the young eunuch saw the madame, he smiled and replied, "Reporting to Matriarch Song, the Empress just sent word that Miss Song would be staying for a while."
The old mistress was overjoyed as she agreed.
Song Shou stayed, along with Susining. Susenin was the Empress's niece, and was close to her. A few of the eunuchs relayed the empress's message one by one.
Those who were left were flattered. The others left gloomily one by one. Su Sining was surprised to see Song Qingyu standing up.
Song Qing and Yu knew what the empress meant when they saw the situation. Almost everyone that was left behind was confirmed by the empress. Just as the Queen had invited the Yi King to the banquet, Song Qingyu was now certain that the Yi King had also come. Unfortunately, they might not meet.
Song Qingyu was somewhat curious as to how Song Shu would please the empress. In the end, under Song Shu's meaningful gaze, he left the scene by the side of a small path.
Song Qingyu promised Song Shu that he wouldn't cause trouble, so he found a place with fewer people to play for a long time.
Deep within the imperial garden was a lake, and there were already many excited ladies by the lake. Song Qingyu took the right side and passed through the narrow gap between the fake mountains. Suddenly, he saw the open space in front of him as the fake mountains surrounded a green spring.
The moonlight just came in.
There was a crescent moon on the surface of the water.
Song Qingyu watched as the sun gradually approached its peak, thinking that in a few months, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival. He could not help but sit in the bush and pick up a stone before throwing it in.
Very upset. The banquet continued.
