"Alright, alright, this palace banquet wasn't held to listen to you nagging about the children."
Su Mu's favoritism towards Su Yi and his sister made Consort De even more unhappy. She wanted to retort, but seeing Su Yuntian's look that told her to shut up, she angrily shut her mouth again.
Seeing that Shen Rong was helpless against her, Su Muxue even gave her a provocative smile, which made Shen Rong even angrier.
Mu Jin saw all of this and understood even more the importance of Su Yi and his sister in Su Mu's heart. She considered the importance of building a good relationship with the two siblings.
Su Mu also gave gifts to the younger generation at the banquet, which was drawing to a close.
Mu Jin stood up with the others at the banquet and, as she respectfully saw the emperor off, she secretly yawned a few times.
Su Muxue witnessed this scene.

This was also thanks to Shen Qianqian pulling Su Yuntian back and preventing him from chasing after Mu Jin.
In Shen Qianqian's view, she only wanted to stay with Su Yuntian. Without Mu Jin, she could walk hand in hand with Su Yuntian and ride back to the mansion with him in a carriage. She imagined that the noble ladies and wives of officials would cast envious glances at her along the way, and the corners of her mouth would unconsciously turn up.
It's no wonder she could stand smugly beside Su Yuntian. After all, even though Su Yuntian already had a princess, there were still many noble ladies who wanted to become his concubines or secondary wives because of his looks and power.
