When he saw Mingxiu come in, Yinreng winked at her.

Mingxiu couldn't help but laugh at his funny antics.

He shook his head helplessly, greeted the people around him, and then sat down in his seat.

Fortunately, the evenings were all family banquets, so Mingxiu, as a concubine, only needed to sit quietly and act as a decorative vase.

The Imperial Noble Consort above her wore a red peony-patterned qipao, and sat there with a slightly protruding belly.

Mingxiu glanced at her and noticed that the Imperial Noble Consort's face was still somewhat pale, but her overall complexion was alright.

She hasn't paid attention to the matter since she sent some laced fruit to the Imperial Noble Consort last time, and she doesn't know whether the Imperial Noble Consort ate it or not.

However, her condition didn't seem that bad. But the Imperial Noble Consort's final decline was probably due to the shock of not being able to raise her daughter, which caused her to deteriorate day by day.

"It doesn't seem like anything can be seen from this," Mingxiu shook her head.

Well, she's done all she can. If it really doesn't work, then there's nothing she can do.

Mingxiu turned her head and chatted briefly with Consort Hui, then listened quietly to their conversation.

There were a few dishes on the table that Mingxiu liked, but since she didn't want to talk, she simply ignored everything else and started devouring the food.

Mingxiu picked up a honey-glazed jujube, bit into it, and was mesmerized by its sweet taste. She chewed it happily. The jujube was completely coated in honey, and it tasted sweet, soft, and cool. Mingxiu was very happy eating it.

After taking a couple of bites, she turned her chopsticks to the Three-Shredded Shark Fin, a dish that is not often served at banquets. Mingxiu was pleasantly surprised to find it served this time. The Three-Shredded Shark Fin is made by stewing shark fin with shredded chicken, shredded ham, shredded bamboo shoots, and other ingredients. It tastes very delicious.

There was another dish that Mingxiu felt she really didn't dare to eat.

When Mingxiu first encountered the roasted venison, she didn't know what it was. She happily took a bite, and the taste was indeed very delicious, which surprised and delighted her.

When she found out the dish was venison, she suddenly became hesitant to eat it.

It has nothing to do with anything else, it's mainly a psychological reason. Every time he eats it, he feels like he's about to be tortured.

That's just too much torture.

In short, although it tasted delicious, Mingxiu really didn't dare to eat it. She felt that she might have been assimilated by modern society.

With such delicious food placed in front of her, she felt guilty and dared not eat it.

Mingxiu sighed twice before moving on to other dishes.

Although this dish is delicious, the other dishes are just as good, so I won't make things difficult for myself.

After the palace banquet came the singing and dancing. Mingxiu sat there happily watching the beautiful young ladies dance. No wonder men liked it; she liked it too.

Look at that swaying waist, that flirtatious look in her eyes, Mingxiu can't take her eyes off it.

Um?

Mingxiu glanced around during her break and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Why is everyone staring at me?

Mingxiu turned her gaze over and, sure enough, Kangxi and Consort Hui were both looking at her.

When Mingxiu saw Kangxi's cold gaze, she shrank back and quickly looked away.

Consort Hui watched Mingxiu with amusement. When she saw Mingxiu come to her senses, she leaned over and whispered, "You, you probably looked at everything more carefully than anyone else at the whole banquet. You didn't even notice you were drooling."

Um?

Mingxiu looked up at Consort Hui in horror and quickly reached out to wipe her chin.

Finding that she wasn't drooling, she looked at Consort Hui with a resentful expression.

Consort Hui covered her face with her handkerchief and chuckled softly.

Mingxiu rolled her eyes at Consort Hui, straightened up, and dared not look at the young lady again.

If looks could kill, Mingxiu felt she would have already been executed by slow slicing by Emperor Kangxi, because of that look in his eyes.

She only glanced at the young lady, why was she staring at her like that? Mingxiu pouted.

Turning her gaze to the back, looking at the rows of concubines sitting there, Mingxiu wondered what each of them was called, how many concubines had entered the palace this year, and how many had been promoted in rank. Mingxiu felt that she didn't recognize many of them.

As she turned and counted, Mingxiu realized something was wrong.

strangeness!

Where did Uya go?

Although the emperor disliked her and she didn't like it either, shouldn't she still attend this kind of banquet? After all, she was a noble person.

Mingxiu frowned and looked around carefully, but she did not see Wuya Shi.

Looking up at the green bamboo, just as I was about to ask it to ask where Wuya had gone, I saw another performance starting up.

The person walking towards them had her face covered by a veil, but Mingxiu still felt that she looked very familiar.

Frog Fun

Isn't this Uya?

Mingxiu opened her eyes wide and her mouth slightly open.

Good heavens, what is she trying to do?

Mingxiu was shocked to see that Wuya had started dancing while she was still in a daze.

Didn't this Uya clan member claim to be dignified and elegant? How could she possibly dance in such a setting?

"Did you lose your mind?" Mingxiu's lips twitched.

He gestured for Consort Hui to look towards the center.

Consort Hui glanced at it, and at first she didn't recognize who it was, but after looking at it for a while she realized who it was.

She opened her eyes wide and turned to look at Mingxiu.

Ming Xiuxiu nodded slightly.

Just then, the Imperial Noble Consort sitting above Mingxiu also noticed something was wrong.

She glanced up and gestured to the palace maid beside her. The maid noticed her gaze, gave a slight bow, and then withdrew.
