In the Imperial Palace, Noble Consort Dugu lay on the Imperial Concubine's couch, a soul-enthralling smile on her face.
A palace maid by her side presented a cup of tea, which she sipped.
"The wedding feast at Prince Shun's Mansion must have come to an end by now."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it has indeed concluded. The people of Prince Shun's Mansion have gone, Dugu Wu drank some alcohol, but there has been an unexpected incident along the way. The tea that was originally meant for Dugu Wu was consumed by Princess Consort Wu," said the palace maid in a hushed voice.
Upon hearing this, the countenance of Noble Consort Dugu subtly changed, yet she quickly managed to regain her composure and smiled.
