Xiao Tang arrived at Cangyue Palace to attend the flower-viewing banquet, and was immediately surrounded by the ladies upon entering.

She wondered why this lady was suddenly being so enthusiastic.

"Princess Regent, you've finally arrived!"

"Yes, that's right, we've been waiting for you all this time."

In contrast, the once most popular position for the Seventh Imperial Concubine was now deserted, with no one approaching her except for Consort Chun.

It's true what they say, fortunes really do change.

Xiao Rourou had been stabbed earlier, and she was still sitting there with a deathly pale face. She looked at Xiao Tang, who was surrounded by the wives of powerful and wealthy women, and bit her lower lip lightly.

She really didn't expect... these ladies were such opportunists.

After learning that the Seventh Prince had been imprisoned, no one paid much attention to her anymore.

After all, the situation in the central government is now quite clear.

The most important thing is to please the regent.

When this emperor finally closes his eyes and passes away, the world will inevitably belong to the regent.

The Regent is difficult to approach, but you can win over his women!

Consort Chun suddenly touched Xiao Rourou's arm, her eyes filled with a meaningful look.

Xiao Tang was suddenly surrounded and was a little unhappy.

She's a socially anxious person...

"The Regent's wife is truly a great beauty; no wonder she has the Regent so infatuated with her."

"Yes, yes, it seems that the countryside is a good place to nurture people. Look at how beautiful and radiant the princess looks!"

Xiao Tang chuckled twice.

She glanced at her desk.

Various pastries made with honey and some fruit were laid out on the table.

Just looking at it makes my mouth water.

All she wants now is to escape the crowds and enjoy her delicious meal.

Just as he was about to take a step, he was stopped by a young lady from an official family.

"Princess Regent, you are a very lucky star. Why don't you come to my residence for a visit tomorrow? We have recently received quite a few fine teas. Would you like to try some?"

"Hey, hey, what are you grabbing for, Your Highness? Two fine horses have arrived at our residence. We can go hunting later!"

The one speaking first was the daughter of a civil official, and the one speaking second was the daughter of a military officer.

Regardless, Xiao Tang simply couldn't resist their enthusiasm...

"Enough!" A stern and authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

"Since the Regent's wife is my guest today, you are not allowed to behave so presumptuously."

Everyone looked at the eldest princess who had spoken and agreed.

Turning her gaze back, she watched expectantly as Xiao Tang returned to her seat.

Di Qingyuan must have deliberately arranged the seating so that she would sit next to her.

As a result, Xiao Tang once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

She wanted to take some food from the table...

But with everyone staring at her so intently, she didn't dare to extend her hand.

Despite being older than the emperor, Di Qingyuan, a woman of middle age, was remarkably well-preserved.

Just looking at her skin, it was so smooth that there were no fine lines at all.

The skin shines with an exceptionally glossy sheen under the sunlight.

Xiao Tang couldn't help but take a second look and exclaimed, "Your skin is so good."

“These are pastries made with honey. Would you like to try some?” Di Qingyuan raised her chin. “If you like them, I will have the imperial chef make some more and send them to your Regent’s Palace tomorrow.”

Xiao Tang looked flattered and was about to say no...

The Empress spoke up: "I never expected the Regent's wife to be such a beautiful young lady."

Is this the same excuse again?

Can we put it another way?

Don't you have any more lines?

The Empress's gaze then fell on Xiao Tang's abdomen: "I also heard from General Yang that the Regent's Consort is pregnant?"
