"Therefore, His Majesty values him highly. He even went so far as to marry his granddaughter to secure his position."
Qiu Yan then analyzed, "His granddaughter is the current Consort Hui."
“Yes, he is not just a simple imperial tutor, but also the only non-royal king in our Dongjin Dynasty, known as the King of Qin,” Gu Qian murmured.
"So, that means their status is quite high," Qiu Yan said, then glanced around.
"Where is the King of Qin?"
"The King of Qin is now seventy years old, and I'm afraid his legs and feet are not very strong."
Qiu Yan lowered her eyes and pondered carefully, then asked no more questions.
But she felt that His Majesty must dote on Consort Li.
You can tell from Mayina's smiling eyes and demeanor.
If life is not good, it will inevitably be dull and tasteless.
Mayi felt an irresistible urge to meet an acquaintance.
She glanced at His Highness Qiu Yan and Qin Susu every now and then, and finally couldn't help but say to He Lin:
"Your Majesty, I have run into two acquaintances. May I go and meet them?"
"Whatever you want," He Lin said indifferently.
However, he was very curious about who this acquaintance that Mayi mentioned was.
After all, Mayi was a princess from the Western Regions.
After speaking to Mayi, He Lin addressed the crowd in a deep voice,
"You may move around freely. I have said that there is no need to restrain yourself tonight."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mayi said with a smile, and walked straight towards Qiu Yan and Qin Susu.
Because of her actions, the others began to join in the fun and gradually loosened up.
Mayi took quick, light steps and first walked to Gu Qian's side.
"General Gu, I've long admired you."
Gu Qian then stood up and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Consort Li."
Qiu Yan also stood up with Gu Qian and bowed to Ma Yi with a smile.
"Consort Li."
“General Gu, Xiao Yan, there’s no need for formalities.” Mayi also bowed.
The man before her was someone even their emperor had to show deference to, so naturally she dared not be negligent.
Then, she looked at Qin Susu behind her.
"Susu, how have you been?"
Qin Susu, on the other hand, was already eager to catch up with Mayi.
However, since this was a public place, she had no choice but to first bow respectfully to Mayi and say hello.
Greetings, Consort Li.
Seven years later, the three meet again, but their identities are completely different.
This is something that Mayi finds a little hard to get used to.
Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoran, bored out of her mind, found herself dozing off at the table.
He didn't even notice that the concubines had come to their table.
"Xiaoyan, Susu, we are still good friends in private. When we meet, she still calls me Mayi."
As Mayi spoke, she had already sat down next to Qin Susu.
Inevitably, he glanced again at Ling Qi and Ling Ba behind him.
She had met Ling Ba before, and they nodded to each other.
But she had absolutely no recollection of Ling Qi and Gu Xiaoran.
"He is..."
"It's the young master," Qin Susu explained with a smile.
As soon as Mayi sat down, she started asking all sorts of questions.
How is Mayi doing in the palace?
How does His Majesty treat her?
Are all the concubines in the palace easy to get along with?
Why didn't her little princess come... etc.
Throughout the entire process, He Lin kept staring at Mayi, and couldn't help but wonder: When did Mayi meet Gu Qian and the others?
Mayi replied to each one.
She said that His Majesty doted on her.
The concubines all got along very well and were friendly to each other.
This reply puzzled Qin Susu.
Can concubines really get along harmoniously?
