Chapter 555 She also had a share back then.
The Empress and Consort Yu chatted casually, while Consort Rui, who had been arrogant at the beginning, was left out in the cold.
The other concubines, Consort Rou, the birth mother of Prince Ning, and Consort Zhuang, the birth mother of Prince Rong, were no less prestigious than Consort Yu and Consort Rui.
However, their positions in the harem were clearly inferior to those of the two imperial concubines mentioned earlier.
Therefore, the two of them only dared to remain quiet, silently drinking tea and pretending to watch everyone chatting and laughing, also for fear of standing on the wrong side.
Although the Empress and Consort Yu combined carry far more weight than Consort Rui.
But now that Prince Jin's leg has healed, how important are the concubines in the harem? It all depends on his son!
If Prince Jin were to become the crown prince, he would be more than equal to ten empresses and Consort Yu.
It's best not to rush into taking sides for now.
Prince Yu arrived soon after. After paying his respects to the Empress and several imperial concubines, he walked up to Lu Beimo.
Lu Beimo stood up.
Lu Beimo is a prince, and so is Prince Yu.
Lu Beimo was the emperor's son and held a higher position, but he was a junior, so when Prince Yu came over, Lu Beimo also stood up to show his respect.
However, Prince Yu only exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Beimo before proceeding to Prince Jin's seat.
Prince Jin was even more enthusiastic, pulling Prince Yu to sit down for drinks and conversation.
People outside couldn't help but gossip about it.
"This Prince Yu and Prince Jin seem to have a particularly good relationship."
"Of course! Don't you even know who came in with Princess Mingyue? It's Prince Jin!"
By this time, most of the important figures had arrived, and everyone became quieter.
Once Prince Yu returned to his seat, the banquet was completely peaceful.
All waiting.
Finally, the little eunuch shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone immediately stood up, looking serious.
The Emperor seemed to be in a good mood tonight. After dismissing everyone from formalities, he began to offer wine to Prince Yu.
During the banquet, singing and dancing filled the air, and whether everyone was genuinely happy or not, at least on the surface, the whole atmosphere seemed harmonious and joyful.
Today's theme is to welcome Prince Yu and wash away the dust of his journey. After the Emperor bestowed wine upon Prince Yu, it was everyone's turn to toast the Emperor and Prince Yu.
The girls were a bit far apart, and Chu Xiaohe was also pulled over to drink. Chu Yueli then took the initiative to return to her seat in the Duke's mansion to keep Tuoba Liuli company.
Zisu didn't come with us tonight because she was afraid that Tuoba Liuli would feel uneasy if no one was there to take care of her.
After all, his eyes weren't fully healed yet.
Just then, someone approached them with a concerned expression: "I heard that the Seventh Princess's eyes were injured before. Are they all healed now?"
Qin Mingyue!
She certainly didn't come to greet Tuoba Liuli.
Chu Yueli and Tuoba Liuli looked up together at the elegantly dressed woman standing in front of them.
Tuoba Liuli clenched her fist tightly.
She was blinded by a fire caused by the rebels' thunderbolts; Tuoba Mingyue was one of the rebels.
But now, she appears before her so openly and confidently, with a completely new identity.
If it weren't for her damaged eyesight, she would have loved to fight her to the death right now.
Chu Yueli squeezed her hand to comfort her, and then smiled calmly at Qin Mingyue, saying, "The princess's eyes have not yet fully recovered, and she still cannot see."
Since they cannot see, they naturally do not know who is standing in front of them. Therefore, if Tuoba Liuli does not want to pay attention to her, she can simply ignore her. No one will blame her for being rude.
