When Su Yiqing recalled everything about Concubine Rong in her mind, the group had already walked outside the Xuanhua Hall where the banquet was held. When she arrived outside the hall, she waited for a while, and then a team of eunuchs and little palace maids came to greet everyone.

The leading eunuch first saluted, and then said to Lian Yufeng and the Sixth Prince: "According to the order of the Empress, please invite the prince and the Sixth Prince to Guanghua Hall, and the old princes are all drinking there."

Lian Yufeng looked back at Su Yiqing, nodded slightly, and left first with the eunuch.

Su Yiqing tightened the handkerchief in her hand. Even Yufeng had introduced the situation of the banquet in the palace to her before. Many times, the male guests and the female guests were separated. The female relatives were greeted by the queen and the concubines with higher status, so the male guests naturally had a banquet with the emperor.

The situation this time is a bit special. The emperor is sick and may not be separated, but it is not clear. It is not easy to inquire about such things in advance. Since the queen comes forward to gather things, I am afraid that she will still summon her separately.

If they were convened separately, Su Yiqing would have to face these women with superb methods by herself, and be careful and adaptable.

Just now, Princess Xiangshan inexplicably reminded her, so Su Yiqing was even more alert and walked into the magnificent palace under the guidance of the palace maids.

There were already many people in the palace. Su Yiqing saw Queen Ni sitting in the middle, wearing a phoenix robe, wearing a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin and towering hairpins on the head.

Unlike what she had imagined before, she thought that Empress Ni should be a dignified woman with majesty and a strong aura, a woman like Empress Xu of Dajing. After all, she commanded the harem, how could she suppress her position without momentum?

But she was very surprised. Queen Ni looked nice and had a slightly fat figure. She had a round face and a pair of round eyes. Even though she was wearing a phoenix robe and a nine-phoenix hairpin, she looked like a young woman next door, without any convincing momentum.

Under the guidance of the palace maid, Su Yiqing and Princess Xiangshan saluted Queen Ni in a normal manner.

Queen Ni smiled and said, "We are all relatives, so don't be too polite. Princess Ding and the Sixth Prince's concubine, please take your seat quickly."

Under the guidance of the palace maid, Su Yiqing sat down in the empty seat at the next first. As soon as she sat down, she felt many gazes around her. She kept in mind Lian Yufeng's explanation and could not show weakness, so she was very generous and impressed by those scrutinized gazes and smiled slightly.

In this way, those people took back their eyes. Originally, they were looking at her, and it wasn't her fault, so it's okay.

There are a lot of people in the hall, and everyone can't just greet each other deliberately every time someone comes in, so everyone still chats with them.

An older lady sitting next to her smiled and whispered to Su Yiqing: "This is the first time Princess Ding has come to the palace?"

Su Yiqing nodded reservedly.

The noble lady said again: "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Mu, and I am from Prince Ruicheng's Mansion."

Su Yiqing suddenly remembered that the princess of the Ruicheng Palace, Mu, had never met before, but she had had several dealings with the Ruicheng Palace, especially the Ruicheng Palace, which was the legitimate mother of the County Lord Xiuwen, and the third daughter-in-law of the King of Ruicheng Palace, Ning Yaer of the Ning family. Speaking of which, the people in the Ruicheng Palace were very unkind to her. Of course, she or the Ding Palace were not polite to the Prince of Ruicheng Palace. Not to mention that the County Lord Xiuwen married a fool, even if she sent Ning Yaer back to the Ruicheng Palace, the people of the Ruicheng Palace were overwhelmed. Although the serious masters did not pass by, the two families had a grudge.

With Liangzi, she naturally would pay attention to the movements of the Ruicheng Palace and investigated the temperament of the female family members of the Ruicheng Palace, especially the Ruicheng Palace Princess Mu.

I heard that Mu is also a simple person. He usually comes to see the princess of the Prince of Ruicheng, Tang, who comes to attend banquets of all sizes. Mu herself does not come out for socializing, so she has never seen him, and she would not expect to see him today.

After all, Su Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Lu Teng also analyzed the previous incidents with her. King Ruicheng was full of love for half his life, with countless concubines in the backyard, and each competed for favor. Ning's husband and county lord Xiuwen were all born in vain and were not convinced by Princess Ruicheng at all, so their plots should have nothing to do with Princess Ruicheng.

Princess Ruicheng and even the entire Princess Ruicheng's mansion should not be hostile to her or the Prince Ding's mansion. But even though that is the case, they are a family after all. No matter how the family fights, they are a little rational and cannot be bullied by outsiders. Ning Ya'er's affairs at that time were considered a big blow to King Ruicheng.

It is unlikely that Princess Ruicheng would have happened as if nothing had happened? But maybe those who accomplish great things can tolerate what others cannot tolerate. After all, things have passed.

No matter what Mu thought, he seemed to be dissatisfied at all, and then lowered his voice and said, "You probably don't know the empress in the palace, right? Let me introduce it to you."

"Thank you... Princess Ruicheng." Su Yiqing didn't think about how to call Princess Ruicheng. Logically speaking, Princess Ruicheng is an elder, and it is not an exaggeration to call her aunt. However, when she recognized her relatives, Princess Ruicheng did not come. Even Princess Ruicheng's concubine Tang did not show up, so she sent Ning, who had the lowest status, to come over. It was obviously not very respectful. In addition to the subsequent events, Su Yiqing's aunt was really unable to say it.

Mu said: "You're welcome. It's the first time I entered the palace. Look, the person sitting on the left side of the Empress wearing a smoky-colored silk skirt is Concubine Ming, while the person sitting on the right side of the Empress is Concubine Jin. The person under the head of Concubine Ming is Concubine Rong, and the person under the head of Concubine Jin is Concubine Hong...

Other concubines Su Yiqing didn't pay attention. When she heard Concubine Rong's words, she pretended to be curious and looked around, then turned her eyes to Concubine Rong, and her eyes happened to face Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong was also secretly looking at Su Yiqing.

As before, Su Yiqing did not avoid other people's gazes, and smiled at Concubine Rong, saying hello. Concubine Rong seemed very uneasy when she met Su Yiqing's gaze. She hurriedly moved her eyes away and talked to others as if nothing had happened.

This action further confirmed the reminder that Princess Xiangshan had just now. It seemed that Concubine Rong was indeed in her heart.
