Dugu Chen gave a cold huff to himself, his expression darkening as he leaned on the dragon case. Seeing his unfavorable countenance, Lou Qianyu forced a smile and said, "Young Master Dugu, is there perhaps some event taking place in the palace recently?"
"Yes, the Empress has organized a grand banquet, inviting some of the young elites and daughters of prominence from the Capital City to gather the day after tomorrow in the Warm Pavilion. They will be there to admire flowers, drink tea—Lou could certainly go and take a look," Dugu Chen said, visibly calming somewhat with a slightly more pleasant expression.
