Sang Jiang nodded slightly and sat down with Sang Ruo.
As soon as the two sat down, some imperial concubines looked at them, eager to approach and strike up a conversation.
Sang Yan saw through everyone's thoughts and knew that Sang Jiang disliked socializing, so she smiled and walked to the side of the Third Madam: "Madam, let me accompany the two ladies. Please go and arrange some seats for the ladies and young ladies."
The third concubine glanced at her and nodded: "That's fine then, Your Majesty. I'll go and entertain them first."
"Hmm." Sang Jiang nodded, picked up a glass of wine, smelled it, and put it back.
She hasn't forgotten the last time she got drunk.
Sang Yan looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Sister."
“Mm.” Sang Ruo took her hand, and the three of them started chatting.
The ladies, seeing Sang Ruo's actions, all began to make their own calculations.
As a result, the status of the third concubine also rose. At first, people looked down on her as a concubine, but when they thought that she was Sang Yan's biological mother, they respected her more and more.
Soon everyone was seated, and the third concubine exchanged a few polite words with everyone before starting the banquet.
Because there were a lot of people today, men and women were seated separately.
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone started to boldly toast Sang Jiang and Sang Ruo.
Once someone starts, others, not wanting to be outdone, join in.
Sang Ruo glanced at Sang Jiang, who was told "Don't bother strangers," and immediately blocked all the drinks for her.
She had just secretly taken a homemade hangover pill, so she was still relatively sober.
When she had drunk enough, she covered her head and looked at Sang Jiang, saying, "Jiang Jiang, I think I'm a little drunk."
Sang Jiang immediately understood what she meant when she received her look.
She helped Sang Ruo up and said softly to Sang Yan, "Ruo Ruo is a little drunk. I'll take her back first."
Sang Yan immediately stood up, looked at the two of them, and said, "I'll go with you."
“It’s alright, you and Third Aunt can entertain the guests together.” Sang Jiang refused her outright.
They're the ones who're leaving. If Sang Yan goes, things will get really messy. It might even be difficult for them to leave then.
Sang Yan glanced at her third aunt, who was surrounded by those noble ladies, sighed slightly, and nodded.
Third Aunt has rarely encountered such occasions in all these years, so she is finding it somewhat difficult to handle this.
If she leaves, she'll be all alone. Right now, she can still help out.
Sang Jiang and Sang Ruoyi went straight to Yunshuang Courtyard after they left.
Two women of similar build stood at the entrance of Yunshuang Courtyard. Upon seeing them, they immediately curtsied and said, "Master."
As soon as they spoke, Sang Jiang knew what was going on; it was obvious that these were people sent by Wei Qing.
Sang Jiang nodded: "Come in."
After she finished speaking, she helped Sang Ruo, who was pretending to be drunk, into the room.
The two maids followed them in.
As soon as she entered, Sang Ruo sat up straight.
Sang Jiang looked at the two of them and said softly, "Let's change your clothes."
"Hmm." The two maids must have known in advance, because they immediately took off their clothes and exchanged them with Sang Jiang.
After changing, Sang Jiang glanced at Sang Ruo and Chun He and nodded to them.
They didn't bring Kou'er and the two sisters, Wanting and Wanqing, today.
As for Chunhe, she knew too much. Even if Sangjiang didn't take her along, Chunhe would still secretly follow her. So Sangjiang simply didn't hide it from her.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Chunhe looked at the two of them and started cursing: "Two useless things!"
