A few days later was the emperor's birthday. The entire capital was decorated in bright lights and everyone around was feeling festive.
The palace was even livelier. Not only were there ministers and envoys from different countries there to celebrate, but the famous families of Nan Xia Country had made an appearance too.
This time, Huangfu Qingjue was not around. Only E Shulan was there, acting kind and sweet while mingling with the crowd. The Lord Divine Messenger was absent and thus she was the highest level representative of the Deity Temple in the capital.
"Miss Ling, you all are here as well." Seeing Ling Chuxi and the rest entering, E Shulan immediately rushed to welcome them with a smile. It seemed she realized that she had been shamed badly and was worried her status might be affected, so she was trying desperately to win over Nan Xia Country. She was a lot more modest than before.
