After some introductions and pleasantries, Song Xibai sat down, took a cup of tea from the maid, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

The crowd made her feel a little dizzy and lightheaded.

Fortunately, she didn't need to do anything after that. Guests arrived one after another, and Princess Wu got busy. She took both princesses out to help entertain the guests.

Prince Wu has always been well-liked in the capital, and Consort Shu's family is a long-established noble family with extensive marriage alliances. This time, Prince Wu's banquet attracted almost half of the noble families in the capital.

Aside from attracting some attention at the beginning, Song Xibai was largely ignored afterward.

There are so many noble and aristocratic families in the capital, and there's plenty of gossip to gossip about them. Song Xibai is really nothing special.

She sat quietly, drank two cups of tea, listened to a lot of gossip, and was filled with emotion.

Women are all the same, they gossip the same everywhere they go!

Having drunk too much tea, Song Xibai got up and left when no one was looking.

After asking a maid for directions to the washroom, Song Xibai pulled Wei Hong along and walked away quickly.

Having relieved herself, Song Xibai came out of the washroom, about to go back to listen to the gossip, when suddenly a maid wearing a pink vest blocked her way.

“Madam, what are you doing here? This is the main courtyard! It's full of ladies and princesses of high rank. If you go in rashly, you might offend these noble people, which wouldn't be good.”

The maid had a smile on her face, but there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Song Xibai immediately perked up.

It's here! After waiting for so long, we've finally got the familiar domestic power struggle plot!
