Consort Liang looked at herself somewhat embarrassed: "Is there something wrong, little sister?"
[Sister, Aunt Liang, you seem to be a few years older than my mother.]
[Please, my mother is naturally beautiful, as lovely as a flower, stop calling me "sister, sister, sister" all the time!]
When you go out with my mother, people who don't know better might think you're her aunt.
【vomit……】
Consort Shu listened to Mu Qianqian's inner thoughts and struggled to suppress her laughter.
If Consort Liang hadn't been sitting right across from her at that moment...
She wanted to slap the table and laugh out loud.
That's why they say daughters are their mothers' little angels.
Actually, Consort Liang doesn't look that old.
That's why she calls herself that.
It's simply because of her higher rank.
But what woman doesn't like to be praised?
Listening to Mu Qianqian's protective tone.
She felt a strange sense of pride and satisfaction.
"No, no." Consort Shu suddenly came to her senses and slowly asked, "I wonder what brings you here today, sister?"
Consort Liang's smile instantly became somewhat unnatural: "I heard that His Majesty asked you, elder sister, to prepare for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. I usually stay in the palace and don't have much to do, so I thought I'd come and see if I could help in any way, and also to share your burden."
No, no, I can't take it anymore!
Consort Shu was trying so hard to suppress her laughter that her stomach hurt.
She can no longer look directly at Consort Liang.
Whenever I hear her call me "sister," I inexplicably recall hearing Mu Qianqian's inner thoughts just now.
She couldn't help but want to laugh.
My stomach is starting to hurt from holding it in.
Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Consort Liang called out again, "Sister."
Consort Shu: ...
Okay, okay!
She's already agreed, so why can't I?
I just ask that she stop calling her "sister".
Otherwise, it wouldn't take long.
She'll really suffer internal injuries from holding it in.
"Does my sister have any good ideas?" Consort Shu seemed to be deliberately concealing something, picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a small sip.
“Sister, I think that in the past, no matter what kind of banquet it was, it was always held in our palace.” Consort Liang said slowly, “The Empress Dowager has lived in the palace for so long, and she must have seen all kinds of singing, dancing and acrobatics. She must be tired of them. Why don’t we change the way we do it this year?”
"Oh?" Consort Shu raised her eyes and looked at Consort Liang with a drawn-out tone.
"Sister, why don't we hold the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet in the Imperial Garden?" Consort Liang said vividly, "We can take advantage of the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden at night, add some singing and dancing, and even release sky lanterns for extra fun. What do you think, elder sister?"
As Consort Shu listened to her words, the smile on her face gradually froze.
The words Mu Qianqian had said echoed in her mind once again.
The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, which gave those madmen an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
If it were held in a palace.
How could the ground be covered in oil and not be noticed?
How could it possibly cause a fire?
With nowhere to hide, the assassins had no way to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate the Empress Dowager.
Consort Shu looked Consort Liang up and down.
She didn't know if Consort Liang's idea was just a spur-of-the-moment thought, or if it had been planned for a long time.
But Consort Liang had no grudge against the Empress Dowager, so why did she attempt to assassinate her?
Although she had been in the palace for many years, she was not particularly favored.
However, her rank was not low, and the emperor, out of consideration for her maternal family, bestowed upon her ample favor.
Even in the palace, he lived a life of being above the emperor and second only to thousands.
