In the banquet hall, Madam Li saw that Prince Ping and the Empress Dowager had already taken their seats and started eating, yet Daohua was nowhere to be seen. Her heart immediately sank, and she whispered to Ping Tong, "Go quickly and tell the third and fourth masters that the Empress Dowager just summoned the eldest miss. They must hurry and find Yeyang."
Ping Tong nodded and quickly made her way towards where the men were seated.
Xiao Yeyang, who was perfunctorily conversing with a few royal relatives, saw the anxious expressions on Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai as they approached and immediately furrowed his brows, "What's happened?"
Yan Wentao glanced at the Empress Dowager and Prince Ping before responding quietly, "Before the banquet started, your father summoned big sister, and she hasn't arrived yet."
