"Sister, you know..."
Mrs. Jin, who was standing by, saw Hua Bosheng was at a loss and hurried out to make peace:
"Alright, alright, Your Majesty has been on the road for so long and is exhausted. Let's go inside and reminisce about the past. The wind is picking up and it would be bad if we touched Your Majesty's body."
"Well, why don't you guys hurry up and move the queen's things in? Fortunately, Jin Niang was considerate enough to remind me. I actually forgot that my sister can't be exposed to the wind."
Hua Bosheng ordered his servants to carefully move Qiao Yu's luggage into the room that had been prepared long ago. Logically, Qiao Yu should have stayed in the guest room, but Hua Bosheng had prepared a courtyard for Qiao Yu in the mansion.
Even though they knew Qiao Yu wouldn't be staying for a few days, it was clear that their relationship as siblings was truly close.
Because Qiao Yu had talked with Hua Bosheng for a long time a few days ago, Qiao Yu exchanged a few words with Madam Jin today and planned to go back to rest.
Although it wasn't a tiring journey, Qiao Yu's health was not good.
The celebration banquet was the day after tomorrow, so Qiao Yu didn't go anywhere for the past two days. Unlike usual, she didn't write calligraphy to relieve her boredom, but instead started dancing again.
At the celebration banquet, because General Hua's elder sister was the emperor's favorite, countless new nobles came to show their support. Almost all the important officials in the court were also there, and even the Prime Minister who never attended banquets came today.
Although the Regent Prince An and the Emperor did not come, they personally ordered people to send a lot of gifts.
"Everyone, please don't be restrained, just enjoy the wine and chat."
Hua Bosheng raised his glass to start the banquet. His gestures were steady and unhurried, somewhat resembling the humble and modest General Hua of the past.
Su Yu, who was sitting at the table, raised his glass and drank the wine in it in one gulp. His expression was cold and he exuded a sense of alienation. He didn't know why he was attending this banquet today. In the past, when an invitation was sent to the Su Mansion, he would always present a gift instead of going in person.
He even... subconsciously looked for the woman sitting in the director's seat.
Su Yu hated his heart for thinking uncontrollably about that cunning and vicious woman, and before he knew it, the wine in the jug was empty.
The banquet had been going on for a while, but Hua Bosheng still hadn't seen his sister, so he asked his attendants:
"Why hasn't the Imperial Concubine come yet? Is there something that delayed her?"
Logically speaking, my sister would not easily fail to attend the event unless she had something to do. Maybe something delayed her, or if she wasn’t feeling unwell again!
"Hurry up and ask Doctor Du to come to my sister's hospital..."
Before he finished speaking, Hua Bosheng's eyes widened.
Compared to Hua Bosheng's surprise, the Prime Minister sitting below was even more stunned and stood still, his eyes fixed on the exotic dancer who had just appeared.
