After the Empress Dowager left, the atmosphere became more lively than before.
The Princess Consorts and Imperial Noble Consorts, along with the concubines of the harem, all relaxed quite a bit.
Empress Dowager Zhen led the way.
Animatedly chatting, watching dance performances.
For a moment, the banquet became quite decent.
Sadly.
No matter how decent, this is still the Empress Dowager's Ningshou Palace.
Everyone chatted and laughed on the surface, but inwardly, who really wanted to stay here?
Therefore.
In just over a Shi Chen, everyone was weary.
Zhao Junyao couldn't sit still either.
Claiming he had matters to attend to, he left first.
The remaining people had no reason to stay any longer.
They exchanged looks and reached a consensus, promptly dispersing.
Upon exiting, Xia Ruqing held Zi Yue's hand, heading towards her sedan chair.
Unexpectedly, someone followed them.
Turning around, it was Hai Feng.
