Sikong Qiqi gave Xue Wuhen a gentle smile. The moment the congratulatory gift was received and read out, Sikong Qianqi slowly walked in front of Xue Wuhen.

She slightly bowed and respectfully asked, ”Has Your Highness been well? It's been a few years since we last met, but Qian Qi's yearning for Your Highness has never diminished. I wonder if Qian Qi can sit by Your Highness's side today and congratulate the grand imperial concubine on her birthday together? ”

Xue Wuhen saluted back and said with a smile, ”There are already people around today. I would like to invite the princess to take a seat at the banquet. In a while, I will come to toast the princess.”

When Sikong Qianqi heard this, she immediately pulled down her gloomy face. After twitching twice, she forced a smile and said: ”Then I won't disturb Your Highness.”

Sikong Qian sat down at the banquet, his sharp eyes did not miss Xue Wu Hen's every move. He forced a few mouthfuls of strong alcohol into his mouth.

Seeing this, Master Chu pressed his head close to Yu Wuyou's ear and said, ”So Sikong Qiqi loves Xue Wuhen, but it's a pity that Luo Hua is so heartless!”

”That's right! What a great saying, 'if the flower is willing, then the water will flow mercilessly'!” Yu Wuyou turned around and glanced at her, then looked at Xue Wuhen who was in the hall, before he buried his head and drank a cup of wine.

Just as Chu Shiyu was about to cast his gaze into the great hall, he saw Xue Wuhen standing up and walking over to where he was sitting.

Xue Wuhen walked up to her and threw her an appreciative look, saying, ”Lady Luo Qing, I've invited you to join me for a drink. Would you like to sit by my side?”

”Ah ~” Chu Shiyu was stunned on the spot. This was an invitation and not an order, how could he refuse?

This was a great honor! Sitting in the main hall, right in front of Sikong Qianqi, wasn't it obvious when she saw him?

She could not help but look at Yu Wuyou, only to see him nodding to her, indicating that she could go.

This place was quite far from the main hall. With her intellect, she could at least observe some unknown things in the main hall.

Chu Shiyu did not refuse and followed Xue Wuhen into the main hall. When she sat down beside Xue Wuhen, she attracted everyone's attention.

The person who could sit beside the crown prince was naturally the most important person to the crown prince.

Especially Sikong Qian, when she saw a girl walking beside Xue Wu Hen, she was so angry that she twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand into a rope.

In order to prevent Sikong Qiqi from recognizing him, Chu Shiyu cast a glance at her. His eyes shot out a beam of light, which was then inserted into Sikong Qiqi's eyes.

She rubbed the silk handkerchief in her eyes lightly. When she opened her eyes and looked at Master Chu, she had already changed her face.

Chu Shiyu gracefully sat down next to Xue Wuhen and observed Xue Feiyang. Other than treating him with respect, he did not give her much of an opening.

However, there was a hint of hostility in the way the Imperial Advisor looked at her.

Master Chu raised his wine cup, threw a provocative smile at Tian Chen, and downed it in one gulp!

She observed the expressions on everyone's faces, and peeked inside their hearts. As for Xue Wu Hen, he constantly explained the complicated relationship between his imperial grandmother and his imperial concubines.

After the song and dance ended and the dancers retreated, Xue Wuhen finally walked up to the grand imperial concubine and reported to her!

”Royal Grandmother, all of the Zither Masters that I have recruited have already entered the palace. One of them is Miss Luoqing. It is not even noon yet, why not let Luo Qing play a song for Royal Grandmother to liven things up? ”

When the grand concubine heard this, she smiled, more like doting on her grandson.

”Since Scar'er has said so, let her play a song!”

Xue Wuhen beamed a smile, ordering people to bring out a set of musical instruments and place them in the center of the hall. The Fuxi style musical instrument was glowing with a crimson lacquer, and on its surface were carvings of phoenixes and phoenixes, looking vivid and lifelike.
