Su Man almost rolled her eyes when she heard this. She didn't know who told Concubine Li that the Queen was unpopular, so the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was left to her.
Su Man complained in her heart, but she didn't show a trace of it on her face. Instead, she put on an expression of dissatisfaction, "The Emperor asked Concubine Li to help me, but Concubine Li didn't think so. Well, let's see what she can do."
Murong Hong comforted her a few more times before leaving with peace of mind.
After he left, Aunt Zhao followed him out, and no one knew what she was mumbling about.
Tao Yuan leaned over to Su Man's ear and whispered, "The master's painting has been delivered."
"Very good. Did you follow my instructions?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already made arrangements. I will definitely be able to have a meeting between Your Majesty and the Prince of Beiping."
Su Man nodded.
The Empress Dowager Yang's family and the Prince of Beiping are in the same party. If she can reach a cooperation with the Prince of Beiping, then she can hold on to the big tree of the Empress Dowager.
"It's almost time, Madam, let me put on your makeup."
...
The birthday banquet will be attended not only by concubines but also by the crown prince, so Suman has to wear court dress to attend.
Guman's appearance is originally luxurious and dignified, which is not noticeable when she wears casual clothes, but once she puts on such solemn court clothes, she has a temperament that looks down on everyone, and her every gesture is full of the majesty of the mother of the country.
Su Man turned left and right, and the pearls on her earlobes swayed slightly, which was a beautiful sight.
That night, after Su Man showed up, even Murong Hong couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Su Man pretended not to know, toasted and joked, behaving properly.
The banquet had been going on for quite a while, but the seat of the King of Beiping was still empty.
However, Su Man was not worried. The Queen Mother was his sister-in-law, and the Yang family was in the same party as him. He would definitely not deny the Queen Mother this face.
Just as he was thinking about it, a light laugh came from outside the hall.
"I am late."
A man in a black robe with wide sleeves walked in from outside the palace gate. He strode with long legs and his clothes fluttered as he moved, looking very handsome.
He was tall and handsome, but a scar under his eye ruined the original deep eye sockets, adding a touch of arrogance and evilness to his features.
The Prince of Beiping was the late emperor's youngest son, a late-born son. Even though he was Murong Hong's uncle, he was only in his early thirties this year.
Ever since Prince Beiping came in, Murong Hong's expression became noticeably ugly.
He was so obviously late and so arrogant that he wanted to drag him out and chop him up right now.
However, he was now in the court, competing with the Prince of Beiping, and could not act rashly. He could only force a fake smile and said, "I wonder what the emperor's uncle is busy with. He will be late for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
