It's a rare opportunity to host a banquet, so she wanted to bring everyone in her family to the palace and enjoy a feast at public expense.
Li Hongyuan didn't express any opinions on this.
After all, she was the one in charge of the entire East Palace.
Let her do what she wanted.
In the south, the autumn season was accompanied by floods, and as the newly appointed Crown Prince, he had to take up his responsibility. The Emperor seemed to test him as well, asking him to take charge of flood relief matters.
In short, the Crown Prince was very busy.
Thus, when Concubine Xian arrived with her entourage in a mighty manner, Li Hongyuan was not at the East Palace.
Only Jiang Ning, leading Huang Ying, Chunlai and other maids, gathered around the table to discuss the menu for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
