The crab feast at Chunxi Palace arrived as scheduled.
When Shen Yinning arrived, Shen Yunxi and Shen Xinya were cheerfully hosting their guests. Aside from concubines from various palaces, several prominent noblewomen and young ladies were also invited.
However, there was no sign of Empress Huo.
Holding a round fan, a faint curve appeared at the corner of Shen Yinning's lips.
Of course, someone as proud and self-respecting as her wouldn't condescend to attend a small banquet hosted by Shen Yunxi.
She wouldn't lower her status so easily.
Inside the hall, Lianxin was the first to notice Shen Yinning's arrival.
She leaned close to Shen Yunxi's ear and whispered, "Your Grace, she is here."
Shen Yunxi immediately looked over.
The other concubines and noblewomen seemed to detect something as well, following her gaze toward the doorway.
