Chapter 1805: Chapter 1802: Consort

Chu Heng couldn’t help but laugh, comforting her: “Alright, alright, it was my fault. I wasn’t dismissing you, just joking with you.”

Ye Muyu leaned down, lying into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist: “That’s more like it.”

Soon, it was the day King Qi welcomed Princess Weisaiya.

Early in the morning, Ye Muyu took Chu Ziluo, carrying the invitation, and headed out. They quickly arrived outside King Qi’s mansion.

Outside King Qi’s mansion, it was extremely lively. The entire mansion was grandly built, with exquisite carvings and beautiful paintings, magnificent and resplendent, with pavilions, towers, and carved balustrades.

At the mansion gate, a group of servants were entertaining the coming and going guests.

From time to time, they loudly read out the list of gifts.

Ye Muyu had long prepared gifts from the residence, and upon entering, she could still hear the sound of discussions.

“Mother, it’s so lively,” Chu Ziluo said softly.

“Do you want to play with familiar friends?” Nowadays, when Ye Muyu attended banquets at residences, she no longer kept Chu Ziluo by her side and usually let her spend time with friends of her own age.

After all, Ye Muyu was surrounded by ladies much older, with whom she couldn’t find common ground in conversation.

Chu Ziluo thought for a moment and nodded: “Mother, then I’ll go find Ms. Huo and the others.”

“Mm, take a maidservant with you and don’t be alone no matter what,” Ye Muyu gently instructed.

Chu Ziluo nodded and went off on her own.

With a maidservant from the residence leading the way, she quickly arrived at the flower hall where many young misses had gathered.

The entire courtyard was large, with a wall separating it from the courtyard where the ladies were.

The two areas were separated, but connected by corridors.

When Chu Ziluo arrived, she immediately saw Huo Hongyan, Zhou Jiaojiao, and others.

“Ziluo, come over quickly,” Huo Hongyan waved at her. Chu Ziluo walked over briskly and asked with a smile: “You all came so early.”

“We were invited by Prince Qi’s Consort,” Zhou Jiaojiao lowered her voice, speaking a bit formulaically.

Huo Hongyan nodded: “Prince Qi’s Consort is, after all, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, truly magnanimous.”

Hearing this, Chu Ziluo blinked, “Prince Qi’s Consort… is probably doing this to maintain appearances.”

“Regardless of the reason, the fact remains that Princess Weisaiya has married into King Qi’s mansion, and it was an imperial decree. Besides, with Beirong involved, King Qi wouldn’t openly mistreat her, and Prince Qi’s Consort can’t change this fact. Choosing to cooperate wisely with King Qi is indeed very sensible,” Huo Hongyan, recalling the previous life where Prince Qi’s Consort was almost non-existent but ended well, sighed lightly, thinking maybe it was because Prince Qi’s Consort and King Qi had no deep feelings, allowing them to respect each other and get along well.

But thinking carefully, given King Qi’s status, he couldn’t sit in that position without more than one wife, and Prince Qi’s Consort chose the position that belonged to her and never interfered with King Qi’s affairs. Thus, while she did not gain an intimate husband, she stayed true to her identity as the daughter of a noble family.

After chatting for a while, the three shifted the topic.

However, they were sensible and didn’t discuss behind others, unlike some others.

Just as Chu Ziluo had taken a piece of pastry and tasted it, a commotion was heard nearby.

She decisively chose to move further away, found a seat, and sat down with Huo Hongyan and Zhou Jiaojiao, watching those causing trouble.

The one making trouble today was none other than the fourth miss of the Qi family, Qi Yun.

Qi Yun spoke indirectly: “All these are consorts, once married into King Qi’s mansion, regardless of their status, they should follow the rules.”
