Imperial Consort Hall.

The Noble Consort Su had just served Ming Chengjun at the imperial court, and not long later, Xiao Ya reported to him.

”Mu Qingling and Shen Zhu are here.”

Noble Consort Su's eyes flashed a look of astonishment, when did these two become so good? Could it be that Shen Zhu had already figured it out?

If the man's backyard was harmonious, then he would definitely be more satisfied with what he did in the future.

Thinking of this, Noble Consort Su revealed a gratified smile, instructing Xiao Ya to invite them in so that the others could make tea and get some snacks.

She slowly sat down on the seat of honor.

”Greetings, Imperial Consort.” Shen Zhu bowed respectfully.

”Greetings, Imperial Concubine Noble Consort.” Mu Qingling didn't salute as deeply as Shen Zhu, he was just slightly blessed.

Noble Consort Su said, ”Take a seat. You've come rather early today.”

”Last night, when the princess was resting in her Minister Mansion, the niece still thought that she would have to inform the imperial concubine Noble Consort.”

Shen Zhu explained his purpose of coming here concisely, but then he realised that the smile on Noble Consort Su's face became bigger and bigger.

When the Noble Consort Su heard that the princess was already sleeping in the Minister Mansion, his mood became even better. Looks like he can no longer delay the marriage between the princess and Su Zongwen.

”Empress has arrived!” The eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

The words that Shen Zhu wanted to say were stuck at his mouth, but as the person who came was the Queen, he could only get up and wait for the Queen to come in.

The empress laughed while teasing, ”Oh, it's quite lively here, sister. There's one or two here!”

The three of them said in unison, ”Greetings to Empress.”

”Get up. I've come here today to talk to you. Don't be so reserved, we're all family.”

The Queen held onto Noble Consort Su's hand and the two of them sat on the main seat together, looking like they were sisters.

”What were you talking about?”

The Queen looked at Shen Zhu and Mu Qingling and could tell that Mu Qingling really liked them. I heard that they just slept in the Minister Mansion last night.

She could not sit by and watch as the princess married Su Zongwen, encouraging them to act arrogantly with their Su Family!

”It's just a conversation about yesterday's banquet, this is the first time Ling'er is responsible for this kind of thing. Fortunately, Zong Wen mentioned something on the side and did not make a joke out of it.”

Noble Consort Su covered her lips and laughed lightly, one sentence stabbed into the empress's heart.

These kinds of palace banquets were usually held by those with authority and ability.

This was because it represented not only his own country's face, but also a good way to interact with other countries.

Ling'er was in charge of yesterday's banquet. Not only did he win the emperor's favor, he also made friends with some of the people with great authority in other nations. When they return to their country, they would bring up Ling'er, the capable Prince Su, and not some crown prince.

The empress's mouth twitched, unwillingness filling the depths of her eyes.

After all, she was someone who had seen great storms and great waves. On the surface, she still maintained the attitude that a mother should have when she was under the heavens.

The Queen smiled at her. ”Ling'er did not do bad.

”Thank you elder sister for thinking so highly of Ling'er.” After the Noble Consort Su thanked him, he looked at Mu Qingling and asked gently, ”How was it, Princess, when you came to the capital?”

Mu Qingling originally thought that the bickering between the two dignified women was quite interesting, but now he had thrown the issue to her, and was caught off guard.

Returning to the imperial concubine Noble Consort, Qingling came to the capital for a few days and felt that it was much more interesting than the Qi Kingdom, there were a lot of delicious things to eat and some fun.

Mu Qingling tilted his head and smiled at Shen Zhu like a child.

When Noble Consort Su heard it, a pleased expression surfaced on her face. She didn't even need to look at the Queen to guess how upset she was.

”That's good. If you need anything, feel free to ask for it. Just treat it as your home.”

”Then can I continue to stay in the Minister Mansion?”

Mu Qingling immediately asked.

Shen Zhu was startled. Yes, he couldn't say what he was feeling in his heart.
