Noble consort Shi was getting tired of Madam Zhu's ass-kissing she shifted away from Her and called her maid over "the Emperor is almost at the banquet hall I should get going" she said and hurried out of the room but not before calling Zhu Fengyin to join her.
Madam Zhu and Zhu Feifei watched them leave before hissing loudly. Zhu Feifei said to her mother "mother we have to get set up tonight. I hear that the Emperor would release the imperial decree anytime soon".
Madam Zhu tapped her daughter's hands gently "stay calm my dear, mother will handle everything".
The mother and daughter returned to the banquet hall while Zhu Fengyin and Su Liya followed the Noble consort into the hall. The banquet was already in full swing when they arrived. The Emperor and Empress were seated at the centre of the room.
Zhu Fengyin stepped back and walked over to where her father was seated. She occupied the free seat next to Zhu Feifei, while Su Liya stood behind her.
