On the 22nd, the celebration banquet arrived as scheduled.

This celebration banquet was held in a grand manner. Yan Mingting ordered that officials of the fifth rank and above could bring their families into the palace to attend the banquet.

Feixian Pavilion is the largest venue for banquets in the palace, and this celebration banquet was held in Feixian Pavilion.

It is said that Feixian Pavilion was a banquet venue built by the founding emperor to entertain the founding heroes. The reason why it was called "Feixian Pavilion" was because the founding emperor believed that his capable ministers were immortals who came down to earth to help him pacify the world.

Feixian Pavilion is really big. When Wushuang came over, he raised his eyebrows at this place that seemed to be larger than the emperor's Longyu Palace.

Such a big place is perfect for making trouble.

Generally speaking, this kind of banquet is a frequent scene for various accidents.

For example, in a certain world, she once had an affair with the emperor's brother-in-law at a banquet without the emperor's knowledge.

This time, Wushuang didn't plan to do anything.

Emperor Yan Mingting is indeed a coward, but her target, General Huo Yuanzhou, is not so easy to conquer either.

The most important thing is that Huo Yuanzhou was raised and supported by Yan Mingting.

If she had tried to deal with Huo Yuanzhou directly like she did with Su Yunqing, she might have been killed before she could succeed.

Su Yunqing had resentment towards the old emperor, but Huo Yuanzhou might not be the same.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived—"

When Wushuang came over, the emperor and the empress had not yet arrived, and she had no intention of challenging the role of the finale.

However, she was wearing a gorgeous dress with red and yellow colors interwoven, and her hair was full of pearls and jade, which made her particularly eye-catching as soon as she appeared.

Wushuang did not wear anything that only the queen or the main wife could wear. All she wore were things that only the imperial concubine could wear.

Wushuang, with a red flower ornament painted between her eyebrows, curled her red lips slightly as she looked at the civil and military officials in the court and their families.

"The Emperor has arrived—The Empress has arrived—"

When Wushuang sat down, the emperor and empress also appeared.

"Your Majesty—Your Majesty—"

"Hail, Your Majesty, long live the Imperial Concubine—"

"My dear ministers, please stand up. There is no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone had left and taken their seats, Yan Mingting looked at the dazzling Wushuang beside him and said, "My beloved concubine is exceptionally beautiful today. She is as dazzling as the rising sun in this banquet hall."

Wushuang opened her red round fan to cover the lower half of her face and said with a sweet smile, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. How can I compare to the rising sun?"

"In my opinion, my beloved concubine, you are so radiant and charming." Yan Mingting said with a smile.

"Your Majesty~" Wushuang said coquettishly, "There are so many people here~ I feel embarrassed to be praised~"

Zhao Xuanyi, who was standing next to them, watched the interaction between the two people, trying hard to keep a blank expression on her face and not let herself show any disgust.

Bastard!

wrong!

Your Majesty is not wrong!

The only one who's wrong is that bitch He Wushuang!

Bitch!

Wushuang didn't care how angry Zhao Xuanyi was with her. After she said a few words to Yan Mingting, Yan Mingting started talking to other people.

Wushuang put away her round fan and looked at the people below. She was not very familiar with the civil and military officials. She had been in the palace for ten years. She knew how the ministers in the court had changed, but she had never seen many of their faces.

And their families.

The lady of honor who came to the palace to pay her respects was the empress. How could she, a noble concubine, be qualified to receive the lady of honor?

At this moment, Wushuang noticed several women not far away. One of them was an elderly lady with some silver hair on her temples.

Wushuang's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Auntie...

This is Wushuang’s mother in this life, Mrs. He.

Mrs. He saw her daughter looking at her, smiled at her, nodded and greeted her.

Wushuang looked at the other person steadily.

Mrs. He is already old.

There is a big age gap between Wushuang and his brothers, so Mrs. He is not young anymore.

General He is leading his troops outside, and so is Brother He, so in order to contain them, their families must stay in the capital.

Wushuang looked at his mother and sisters-in-law, and couldn't help but look at Yan Mingting who was talking to someone over there.

She knew that Emperor Yan Mingting was not the only one who would detain the families of military generals in the capital and monitor them in order to restrain them.

But when such a thing happened to her, she would always feel uncomfortable, and of course she would also blame Yan Mingting.

"My dear, what's wrong?"

As if sensing Wushuang's gaze, Yan Mingting, who was talking to Huo Yuanzhou, turned around and looked at Wushuang and asked.

When he looked over, Wushuang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I feel a little sad to see her today."

When Wushuang looked at Madam He, she revealed a trace of sadness and whispered, "I miss my mother so much..."

"No..." Wushuang raised her head and looked at Yan Mingting, "I don't have any intention of not wanting to stay with Your Majesty... I... I just feel a little reluctant to leave my parents..."

Seeing her like this, Yan Mingting reached out and held her hand, saying, "My beloved concubine, there is no need to explain. I understand."

"In a few days, let Madam He come to the palace to accompany you? Let Madam He stay in the palace for a few more days, so that my beloved concubine can be more cheerful."

Wushuang looked at him in surprise, "Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

"Mother... Mother, can you really stay with me in the palace?" Wushuang asked Yan Mingting with anticipation.

"Of course, I'm serious." Yan Mingting said.
