Moreover, she has always been active in the aristocratic circles of the imperial city.
Because the queen was standing behind her, and the Liu family was a noble family that had existed since the beginning of the Beiji Dynasty, so the strength behind it was naturally not to be underestimated.
Therefore, almost all the noble families had the idea that even if they could not make friends with the Liu family, they absolutely could not make enemies with them.
After all, the Liu family's current power can be said to cover half of the court, and even if the queen is not liked by the emperor, she is still the queen who is the mother of the country, and no concubine in the harem can surpass her.
Therefore, Liu Wanqing has always been a person who is flattered by people inside and outside in the social circle.
Originally, this time it was Concubine Lan who was presiding over the meeting, and she was obviously the enemy of the people backing her, so Liu Wanqing didn't want to come.
But soon she heard that Chu Ci was also attending the banquet.
Now Chu Ci is eighteen years old and still unengaged, so when this banquet was held, Chu Ci, who rarely appeared in public, was specially invited.
The meaning is very clear.
The concubines in the harem became anxious and started looking for a husband for Chu Ci.
Liu Wanqing was naturally aware of this, and coupled with the changes that had occurred in the palace, the second prince had no maternal lineage, so he was finally fostered by the emperor under the name of Concubine Lan.
It was obvious that he wanted to protect the second prince and his beloved concubine.
Of course, they can't just sit there and wait for death.
Thinking of this, Liu Wanqing lowered her eyes slightly, and the glimmer in her beautiful face and eyes was covered up by her.
To be honest, she hasn't seen Chu Ci since the young master of the Cheng family was beaten by Chu Ci.
First, Chu Ci rarely appears in their circle and doesn't interact with them at all. Second, Chu Ci is obviously from Concubine Lan's faction. The two of them are so tired of each other that they won't deliberately go to where the other is.
In this case, it really is a chance to meet.
It was almost time, and the sunlight outside was a little strong, but this villa was surrounded by streams, so although the humidity was a bit high, it was very cool.
In addition, there are many obstructions in the courtyard, so this feeling is quite comfortable.
Young boys and girls of appropriate age sat separately, each on one side. Liu Wanqing was naturally the leader of the girls' group.
But it was already this time and Chu Ci had not arrived yet.
Liu Wanqing sat under the shade of a tree, slowly drinking the sweet and sour soup that was brought to him by the housekeeper of the villa.
"It's already this late, and the princess is nowhere to be seen. It would be fine if she didn't interact with us normally, but Princess Chuci even lost face for Sister Liu."
Liu Wanqing didn't say anything, but the girl in pink sitting next to him hummed softly and said something with contempt in her eyes.
The girls who could sit next to Liu Wanqing were all of very good fortune, not to mention that Liu Wanqing was sitting next to them. When the time came, it would be unreasonable for Chu Ci not to come, so she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.
With this person speaking, the surroundings became noisy.
They talked back and forth, and most of the conversation revolved around Liu Wanqing in the middle.
Liu Wanqing was already accustomed to such flattery. She chuckled gracefully, appearing gentle and generous. "The princess doesn't usually associate with us, nor does she attend such banquets. It's normal for her to not understand some things."
