Prince Yan chuckled and interjected with advice, "My imperial brother, since Ruyan has already given her assurance, you needn't worry too much about Noble Consort Jing. It is time to head to Qianxi Palace for the royal banquet. If you do not show up soon, the imperial relatives will become anxious."
Emperor Fu Aotian laughed and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it is time to go to Qianxi Palace. Let us go together!"
...
Qianxi Palace
Adorned with red curtains and bright oil lamps, the palace looked resplendent and magnificent.
Ji Ruyan was led by An Xuan to the women's side, where An Xuan whispered to her, "Sister, in this palace, you should speak less and listen more. Avoid attracting trouble, especially from the Empress!"
"Hmm."
Ji Ruyan nodded and did not continue the conversation with him.
She did this to avoid suspicion, lest anyone realize that An Xuan and she knew each other.
She took her place, which was at the very corner of the palace.
Why is that, you might ask?
