Shen Mu respectfully welcomed the Consort Dowager into the hall.
Ever since he saw that shocking scene, every time Shen Mu saw he Dowager, he wished he could lower his head into his collar.
The servant girl who had passed the note did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that the Consort Dowager would recognize her.
They were all afraid of being silenced!
Just before Su Ji entered, the servant girls had already served all the hot dishes.
Prince Huai's meals were extremely irregular and he was not interested in what he ate. The only reason why such a sumptuous meal was prepared was because of the Consort Dowager…
The room was filled with the fragrance of wine, meat, and vegetables, mixed with the sweet scent of lychees. If the person who invited her was not Prince Huai, but anyone else, Su Ji would have suspected that this was the perfect setup for a banquet.
However, Prince Huai had asked her to come, so Su Ji was relaxed.
