Is His Majesty hosting a banquet?
Situ Xue stood up and naturally sat in the empty seat next to Nan Xiao. Upon seeing this, Nan Xiao frowned slightly.
However, Situ Xue seemed not to notice. She looked down from the pavilion, where a fighting arena had been set up. Calling it a banquet would be a more accurate description of a martial arts contest.
"no."
Nan Xiao denied it lightly, then looked at Mo Shisheng, only to find that the girl's small body was completely nestled inside the soft couch, as if she were cold, with her little hands inside her sleeves.
Seeing this, Nan Xiao's lips curled slightly. "Someone, cover the princess with a blanket."
"yes."
Upon hearing the order, the palace maid behind him unfolded the prepared blanket and covered Mo Shisheng with it.
Suddenly covered by a warm blanket, Mo Shisheng was stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed with impatience again, "Haven't started yet?"
"Start what?"
Before Nan Xiao could speak, Situ Xue interrupted him.
"..."
Hearing that Situ Xue had taken over her words, Mo Shisheng simply withdrew her gaze indifferently, not even glancing at Situ Xue.
Feeling somewhat humiliated by Mo Shisheng's blatant disregard, Situ Xue asked again, "What did the princess mean when she said it hadn't started yet? Is it...?"
"Noisy".
My mood was already not very good, and to make matters worse, Situ Xue kept buzzing around my ear like a fly.
Mo Shisheng pursed her lips slightly, a cold light gleaming in her eyes.
Mo Shisheng's two words, "noisy," silenced Situ Xue, whose face flushed red. "You..."
"Don't you know that the mistress of the harem should be a model of virtue for the nation, rather than getting bogged down in these trivial matters?"
Before Situ Xue could speak, Mo Shisheng coldly said, "If Her Majesty the Empress has to concern herself with even such trivial matters, wouldn't she be exhausted?"
"Can……"
"With such a vast palace, how could Her Majesty the Empress, who usually deals with all sorts of miscellaneous matters, still have the extra energy to manage these things? That can only mean that Her Majesty the Empress..."
“The princess is right. I have been meddling too much.”
This time, Mo Shisheng did not continue to speak and try to seize the right to speak. Instead, he paused halfway through his sentence, seemingly giving Situ Xue a chance to speak.
After listening to Situ Xue's words, Mo Shisheng calmly withdrew her gaze. "Your Majesty, just be careful next time. Don't forget your duty. Adhering to the rules of the six palaces is the key."
"..."
These words sounded very familiar. Situ Xue suddenly remembered that she had said something similar to Qi Muxiao in the Imperial Garden. Now, Mo Shisheng was returning the favor to her. Although she was angry, she didn't dare to target Mo Shisheng like that in front of Nan Xiao.
Moreover, Mo Shisheng's words made perfect sense, and Situ Xue had no way to refute them. She originally didn't want to answer, but with Nan Xiao there, and his words using her status as Empress and the rules of the Six Palaces to pressure her, she had no choice but to answer.
Forcing a smile, Situ Xue finally nodded in agreement, "I have remembered everything the princess has said."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, let's just wait for it to start."
Hearing Situ Xue squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth, Mo Shisheng raised her small hand and waved it nonchalantly, her tone even more casual.
Seeing Mo Shisheng's actions, Situ Xue was so angry she could explode on the spot, but she couldn't show the slightest flaw on her face and still had to maintain a proper smile.
